Petulance and Earnestness.

To look mad and growl is almost as
bad as swearing. In fact, If one ana
lyzes the two, he will not find any diff
ference between them. Profanity is
only an expression Of the state Of
mind. Of course, there is some diff
ference in the character and form Of
the expression; but they all mean the
same thing. We speak of this because
the world notes the mental attitude
and regards it the same as profanity,
and imputes this fault to the man who
wears a growl, remarks Ohio State
Journal. And SO q religious man who
BOOKS mad and growls depreciates his
relation as q member Of a church and
reflects upon the church, too. There is
unhappily good deal of this going on
and it is all in violation of ScripturaI
teaching. We must learn the differ
ence between earnestness and petu-
lance and observe the difference in
conduct or we injure the cause we are
engaged in. There is no room for ILL
temper in noble enterprise even if
that illtemper does not break out in
epithet and wicked language.

or vegetative portion of the plant, sur
rounded by lighter zone colored by
the secretions of the organism. Plants
still living have been transplanted to
gelatine, licorice, potatoes or other
suitable soil, and from the growths SO
obtained in three to six weeks the va
rious kinds have been identified. AS
reported to the Paris Academy of Sci
ences, about 20 different species have
been so far isolated. The molds are
not all introduced into the books or
paper, but in some cases their germs
appear to have been present in the pa
per materials, even in the raw fiber

CITY OF FILTH AND MISERY
Bagdad Has Fallen Far From Proud
Position She ls Said to Have oc-
cupied in the Past.

Bagdad Is glorious only by reflection
from the past. The houses of the pres
ent town are crude constructions Of
brick, mostly from ancient ruins and
adobe; living is primitive; sanitation
Is nOn-eXiStent; the streets or rather
beast Of burden fills the whole space
from blank wall to blank wall, are
sewers and rubbish heaps, and the res
ervoir for water supply is the Tigris
river, which divides the city into two
parts, just where all the filth Of the
city's lanes pours into it. In the bus
mess sections, the bazaars, the streets
are rooted over with rude screens of
palm logs covered with mats and reeds
as protection against the burning
heat of the summer sun.
The houses are provided with ser.
dabs sort Of cellar, for household re-
sort during daytime in the long sum-
mer months, and when there is no SER
dab, with mats Of thOrny shrubs to
hang before the windows and keep
drenched with water. AT that season
the whole town sleeps and eats on the
roof, and the main middle floor of the
house, is practically unused. The heat
of summer is intense, and everything
Is constructed to alleviate it's dscom-
fort, consequently one suffers miser-
ably during the brief rainy period from
the cold and damp at home and abroad.
