ONE CAN BE TOO HUMBLE
Always Well to Remember the World
Is Apt to Take Man at His
Own Value.

Humility is called a virtue. 1t is so
usually taken at his own value. II he
makes too little of himself, he Is like
ly to be thought of little worth. The
unduiy humble man will lack the
strength of character needed for sue
cess. He will have little infience in So
ciety and will not be fitted to hold re-
sponsibi, positions. While too great
opinion of ones self stands in the way
of progress, too great humility is
worse. Conceit receives many knocks
In life and may be taken out of
man; too much humility seldom re-
ceives tse needed encouragement. Com
ceit in a child is soon corrected, when
he comes to mingling with other chill
dren in schools. Too great humility
gives his schoolmatcs a chance to put
upon him and treat him as an inferior
IA chance which will seldom be neg
ieeted. A child may become crippled
in spirit for life in this way. Even
teachers sometimes fail to see what is
the trouble with the child and to give
him the encouragement he needs. Be
ware of breaking down child's self
confidence. Irreparable injury may
thus be done him. Train him to feel
that he is of value and is able to DO
what there is for him to do. Think
well of yourself If you would have
others think well of you.-Milwaukee

Savino Cars Aurochs.

Kartsoff, former master of the hunt
for Emperor Nicholas, who now adj
ministers the formerly imperial do
mains at CATCHING, the residence of
the Dowager Empress Marie, has taken
measures to prevent the destruction OF
seven surviving aurochs, the only Eu-
rOpean bison now known with certain
ty to exist in Russia. Until lately a
large herd was maintained in Nicholas
vast forest at Bieloviesh, White Rus
STA, ten from which were sent to
CATCHING before the war. When the
Germans occupied Bieloviesh they
killed and canned hundreds of aurochs.
1t is not known if any survive at Bic
loviesh, but before the killing two
were presented to the Stockholm Skan-
sen park. After the revolution, the
CATCHING populace organized an au-
rochs' hunt, considering the beasts
imperial and therefore fair game.
They killed three. M. Kartsoff's meas
ures aim at preserving the remainder.

SPORT ONLY FOR STRENUOUS
Happening DeviIfish Differs Some
what From Pastime So Much Be-
loved by Ordinary Fishermen.

The extraordinary shape. huge size,
and vast power of the big devilfish. or
manta, give him an evil reputation,
which is heightened by his black color
ing. A queer peculiarly of this col
oring is that the black pigment comes
off on anything touching it. Kneeling
on one of the devilfish when it was
drawn up on the sand arose with my
knee completely blackened. The skin
is not only very tough, but is also very
rough, being covered, like that of an
old shark. with dermal denticles which
scarify the skin if naked ,arm or leg
is drawn across it. The big mouth is
practically toothless, entirely so as re-
CARDS the upper jaw, while the lower
jaw has a small dental plate which
differs in the two sexes. In spite of
its size the manta is in no way dan
aerous to man unless attacked; but
when harpooned it's furious energy.
tenacity of life and enormous strength
render it formidable; for it can easily

Kaffirs in France

Somewhere in France there is
large camp of Kaffirs," says a CORE
spondent of the Spectator. "When I
first saw them, my British ignorance
and prejudice made me jump to the
conclusion that they were the scum
from the mines of South Africa. To
my utter establishment, however,
nave since discovered that so per cent
of these blacks (Basutos and ZuIus)
are the product of our mission schools.

she had gathered from a conference
at the bridge, when the cart paused
for further instructions and more, she
had then learned that the cart was to
proceed with all speed to a receiving
depot In the hills where Zelaya was to
wait with his prisoner till joined by
the men he had left to guard the
bridge.
1t was high noon when at length the
cart lurched its last lurch and came to
dead stop.
The complaint OF It's greaseless
wheels had barely ceased when Patria,
mOyeless beneath the straw heard a
voice she knew only too well. It was
Huroki's, ordering the driver to hasten
instantly to a nearby village and find
Zelaya, to advise him that it seemed
best to remove the prisoner instantly
to safer place; Northumberland
horses and guard for this purpose
without delay.
When the driver had gone, grum-
bling, Huroki spoke briefly with an
other Mexican, ordering him to stand
guard over the prisoner pending the
arrival of the horses and the guard,
when he was to summon HuroH from
some observation point at no great dis
lance.

sIashes Russ AInhahet.

Russian Minister of Education Man
uiloff is ruthlessly cleansing the
Cyrillic alphabet of superfuities. By
decree he has abolished the specific
Russian letter 'yat," confusion OF
which with 'e' is one of the woes of
schooling, abolished also the use in
Russian of the Greek ''theta," former
ly used indiscriminately with phi, +"
and finally abolished the "hard sign"
placed after consonants.
The reforms excite mixed feelings.
Children and utilitarians rejoice, but
the novelist, LeOnid Andreyeff. says
that "such changes rob our classics Of
their traditional form and atmosphere.
We feel we are reading dialect"
