TEMPORARY MASK OF WISDOM
Even Most Foolish Man Has Look Of
Intelligence When He lie Light
Ing a Pipe.

Why is 1t that man always looks so
intelligent when he is lighting his
piper
Probably 1t is because the intake of
breath which is necessary to start
proper combustion causes a drawing
up Of his brows, wrinlkling OF the
forehead, cOncavity of the cheeks
and puckering Of the mouth, all Of
which produces an owlish and oracu-
lar demeanor. This mask of wisdom
and soberness, when brightly lit by the
CLEAN and yellow shining Of the
match fame which leaps up and down
over the bowl Of the pipe, has dis
mayed many tlmd observer. We
know that our friend, like ourself, was
but well-nourished slmpleton whose
mind, even If spread at Its thlnnest.
could not shelter more than one-tenth
Of his doings with common sense. How
came 1t, then, that this simple act
Of laying fire to dried vegetation could
so upllft and ensage hlml
Whenever man lights his pipe his
mind seems born anew; in other
words, 1t leaps back into the vast ocean
OF simple absurdity whence most Of
our minds come trickling. The mo-
mentary right gives him time to think,
and he starts afresh upon argument,
rebuttnl and contradiction. And lnev-
itably he says something particularly
MISUNDERSTANDING.

NOT ENOUGH TO KNOW LAW
Young Men Seeking Admission to Bar
Must Have General Understand.
Ing Of Many Things.

II goes without saying that lawyer

law, but many persons will be inter.

who have taken the preliminary exam.
lnntlons for admission to the bar must
know something else.
They were required to write an es.
say on "The Growth Of Democracy
very good thing for them to under.
stand. To test their knowledge Of lit
erature they were asked to give the
name Of the author and the work In
which any three Of seven famous char.
acters appear, including John Alden,
Mrs. Caudle, wilkins Mlcawber, Sir
John Falstaff and Faithful. They we're
asked to tell what the Balkan penlnsu.

and to name the five principal coun-
tries In Africa, and to bound several
American states. And they were ask.
ed to tell about the Invinclble armada
and the origin of the British revolu,
ton Of 1888, as well as other facts in
European history. In addition their
knowledge Of arithmetic, algebra,
geometry, Latin and American history
was tested.
Those who passed the examinations
may go on with the study Of the law.
And 1t is supposed that their general
knowledge will expand to keep pace
with their growing knowledge Of the
principles and practice Of the law

RESULT OF BALLOON TRIP

One day during the warm summer

The anchor had him. 1t had him by
the nape Of the belt and 1t lifted him
5000 feet above the hills and dales of
Horseboro and swung him gaily In the

roughly in treetop at Kinetown. 80

appearance was that his belt, instead
of being completely around his waist.

The most costly, and scientifically
the most noteworthy, animal in the
grand collection Of the New York Zoo
logical society In Bronx park Is the
pigmy hippopotamus, Of which there
are three specimens. Not only are
these the only captive pIgmies in this
country, but anywhere In the world,
except pair captured at the same
time and now In Europe. Even skins
and skeletons are so few as to be re-
garded as great prizes by museums.
Its habitat Is apparently restricted to
the hinterland Of Liberia, where II
roams restlessly through the forests
and haunts small streams, making rest
ing-places Of hOllows under the shaded
banks This rare little beast from an
unknown land is a true hippopotamus,
but a midget In size beside the huge
amphiblan with which we are famil-
lar One might make a dozen OF them
out OF the bulky carcass OF that old
BehemOth Caliph, the monarch Of the
herd at the 200. The male Of the
pigmy is fully adult, yet stands only
30 Inches tall, and weighs about 400
pounds.

PUTS SIDNEY IN HIGH PLACE
First Good Prose Writer In Our Lam
guage, Said Hallam, and Other
Critics Agree With Him.

The very name of Sldney's "Arca-
Ola" is aromatic in the Imagination,
and its traditional place In our lItera-
ture Is unQuestloned, writes George w.
Curtis. In our day 1t Is little read,
nor Is 1t Il very interesting story. But
under It's quaint and courtly concelt Its
tone Is so pure and lofty, Its courtesy,
and appreciation Of women so hearty
and honorable; 1t has so fine moral
atmosphere, such noble thoughts, such
stately and beautiful descriptions, that
to read 1t Is like converslng with IA
hero. So there is no better reading
than the Defense Of Poesy," that
hymn Of loyalty to intellectual beauty.
Hallam well calls Sidney "the first
good prose writer" In our language,
and scarcely had he finished In his
Defense" an exquisite criticism of
English poetry to that time than the

NO COUNTERFEIT FOR PIGSKIN
One Who Knows Can Always Tell, Al
most at Glance, II Hide Is
Genuine or Not.

Probably you have some time or
other in your life bought pair of
plgskln legglngs or puttles. How do
you know they are plgsllln? As a
matter Of fact there Is no leather In
the world just like plgsldn In wearing
quality. A saddle, II holster, or a pair
of putties made of this homely mate
rial will come pretty near proving in
destructlble.
There is one easy way by which you
can always tell pigskln. Examine It
closely and you will find that the lit
tie black spots on the outside Of the
hide are always located in groups Of
three. The whole surface will look
specified, but these specks viii be there
in groups of three, always and with
out fail, In any hide once worn by n
porker.
Another part OF the test is to look
at the grain side of the hide. You will
find here that there are holes all the
way through. AS n matter of fact, the
bristles of the hog grow entirely
through the skin, and are nourished
not by the skin itself but by the fatty
tissues Of the animal.

Vienna, that congress which remade

Of many, laid the mines whose expl0-

Oldtlme "Craters."

The word "crnter" from the hole
rnade by mine, and nfterward fought
for, has thoroughly established Itself
In the language Of the trenches. It is
a highly obvious and inevitable bor-
rowing from the volcano. But the vol
cnnO Itself took the word from the
original "crater'--the mixing bowl
(from the verb meaning to mlx), In
which the Greeks. from the enrliest
known times, mingled water with wine.
These craters, which stood In consplc-
u0us positions In the hall, were often
Of huge size, and the resemblance TO
them Of the volcanoes oriHce struck
all ancient observers who used the
word "crater" In the modern volcanic
sense.

CONFIDENCE IS
HELD At ISSUE.

washington.--In q letter to Senator
Martin of Virginia. democratic leader
in the senate, President Wilson de-
clared he would regard passage Of the
Chamberlain resolution calling for an
investigation of aircraft and other war
activities as direct vote OF want Of
confidence in the administration" and
an attempt by congress to take over
the conduct OF the war. He pointed
out that the Chamberlain resolution
directing q renewal Of the inquiry into
aircraft production and other war ac.,
tivities is unnecessarily broad.
The president informed Senator,
Martin that he had no objection to
the most searching inquiry into the
aircraft situation, but that he deemed
inadvisable at this time any invests
cation of the conduct of the war.
It was believed that the presidents
attitude was due to the form In which
Senator Chamberlain; Of Oregon, chair.
man Of the senate military committee.
introduced the resolution. The reso-
luton authorized and directed the
committee ito inquire into and report
to the senate the progress Of aircraft
production in the United States or
into any other matters relating to the
conduct of the war. by or through the
