What "Potluck" 10.

"POtluck" Is defined In such q prac-
teal way In Limoges, France, that the
partaker ever after remembers that II
means take what you get and shy
nothing" In certain corner Of that
quaint city Of jostlipg roofs there Is
still segregated, much as II In n ghet-
to, Saracen population. probably a
remnant Of the wave Of sarpcens that
swept over Europe hundreds Of years
ago. Here they live In crooked, mar
row streets, following old customs
handed down from generation TO gener-
alton. There are many butchers shops
in the quarter and outside Of each
stenms great pot Of soup over n
glowing brazler. In each pot stands u
ladle as ancient as the pot. When n
customer comes with penny in goes
the ladle and It comes up full Of savory
broth and chunks Of mept, odds and
ends that the butcher hos had left
over. And what comes up the customer
has TO take.

mother with no more clothing than
a few wisps of timothy, while his out
fit Of one Indian suit, much soiled
and crumpled, lay on n rock beside
the distant stream.
All day, Mrs. Aaron Mendelheim
worked at the church. She draped
yards of bunting over the fancy work
booth, wondering why Miss Ridgeway
did not come to help. The church had
no telephone, and at noon she had no
time to go home, but lunched on box
of ham sandwiches she had brought
along The annual bazaar of the La
dies Light Bearer society must be

"If she can't come she might have
sent word" she soliloquized indignant
ly. II could have gotten some one to
help. And how about that tatting she
has been working on for months? She
says there's twenty dollars worth.
And now where Is sheH Does anybody
know anything about Miss Ridgeway%
But nobody did. At @ o'clock Mrs.
Mendelheim left the completed yellow
and lavender booth and dragged her
weary way homeward. Her cup Of tea
failed to revive her and she went to
bed with splitting headache.
Bob Nevis's troubles were begin
ming.
One of the Mendelheims telephoned
to the Ridgeways and the result was
that Rosina went to take charge OF
the proprietorless booth, puzzled about
the miscarriage Of her message.
Mrs. Nevis, leaving the house that
night, asked Bob to 60 along, and he
found himself with his mother at the
Methodist church bazaar. His heart
leaped, There was n faint chance Of
seeing his fair visitor Of the morning.
Mrs. Nevis wanted some aprons, so
in a minute Bob found himself facing
Roslnal But Rosina's eyes had never
glance for him. He might have been
so much thin air She had a dlscon-
certing way Of looking directly through
him that made him feel decidedly in
significant.

Ridgeway's beautiful ,ttlng," said his
mother
"1'm sorry, but we have none. 1t
was sent, but through some error has
not reached the church"
THAT is too badi" returned Mrs.
Nevis, moving away. "Come, Robert"
Robert discovered the indian suit
and the tattlng next morning, both
drenched with rain.
He took the tatting home to his
mother and started out to hunt the
Rldgeways to turn In twenty dollars
to Miss Ina.
Roslna came to the door.
"Pve come to confessi" began Bob,
humbly.

Waste Of Human Material.

Any man who has been In the world
f0rty-live years or more should be n
valuable employee. For man to be

wrong. For man to lose confidence
In himself because he Is fOrty-five or

The man who has been I'm the world
fOrty-iive years has had vast amount
Of experience and has had the OPP
pOrtunlty to observe much that could
be turned to good account. The trou-
BILE with us is that we do not know
where to take our goods to market. or
at least we do not know the best mar

There is a great waste Of human

salesmanship problem in relation to

The Cenaus In Ancient TImaa.

While the greatest strides In the
advance Of vital statistics as science
have been made In recent years, their
origin may be traced to centuries be-
fore Christ. Indeed, Herodotus tells
us Of census Of Egypt taken about
1880 B G. for the purpose of making
arrangements for the construction OF
the Pyramids. Elsewhere this same
author refers to second census, taken
about 400 u. @. in Egypt by Rameses
ii for the purpose Of reapportlonlng
all the land Of Egypt among his sub
Jects. The Bible tells us that Moses
counted the tribes Of Israel to deter
mine their fighting strength and that
David, about 1913 b. O., took census
for the same purpose. There Is n rec
ord Of census taken In China about
1900 i. G., when data of the provinces
were collected by Uking.-S. w.

EXHIBITS ARE MADE LlFELlKE
Mounting Of Natural History objects

Add to Their Interest.

In the development Of the modern
museum three stages have been recog-
nized-that of the collection Of OBJ
jects for record, that Of supplying ma
terials for research and that of APP
plying the collections to public educa-
ton. The educational idea is now be-
ing developed by instructive display
arrangement, loan exhibits for public
and private schools and special lee
lures. The most notable feature is the
mounting of natural history OBJ
jects in the midst Of their native sur
roundlngs, and much attention is be-
ing given ut large museums-such as
the American Museum of Natural His
tory Of New York-to grouping ami
mails in their natural environment of
shrubs, trees, flowers, rocks and 9th

Academy of Sciences, the case for n
large mammal or bird habitat group
