Waste Of Human Material.

Any man who has been in the world
forty-five years or more should be n
valuable employee. For a man to be
shelved at forty-five is wrong, very
wrong. For a man to lose confidence
in himself because he is forty-five or
thereabouts Is absurd.
The man who has been In the world
forty-five years has had a vast amount
Of experience and has had the op-
portunity 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
ut least we do not know the best mar
ket in which to dispose Of our goods.
There is a great waste Of human
material because Of its displacement.

salesmanship problem in relation to
goods than to the infinitely more i'm

Imperfect Shooting Laws.

We have federal laws protecting mi
gratory birds during certain periods,
and the government has established
many reservations for them. But the
laws of our various states are conflict
ing and confusion often results, to
the detriment Of the birds.
No better illustration of this can
be found than with the robin. In
the North it is protected all the year
around as songster 1t flies to the
North early In the spring and is
looked after and cared for until late
in the fall. 1t then goes South. where
several of the states allow 1t to be
killed, and 1t is actually sold in the
open markets Of number Of South
ern cities.
But the general attitude Of the peo-
Pile toward birds is changing for the
better in all the states, South includ-
ed. We are coming to understand
them-NOrth and Southland with
better understanding there comes
greater encouragement.-Pennsylvanial

The censu. In Ancient Times.

While the greatest strides in the
advance Of vital statistics as a 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
3O5O b. G. for the purpose of making
arrangements for the construction of
the Pyramids. Elsewhere this same
author refers to a second census, taken
about 14O0 B. G. in Egypt by Rameses
II for the purpose of reapportioning
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 1918 B. c., took a census
for the same purpose. There is n rec
ord of census taken in China about
1900 B. c.. when data of the provinces
were collected by Uking.-S. w.

WILL GIVE COMFORT KITS.

Because OF limited room on the
transports the Army has now barred
comfort kits from the personal bag
gage OF soldiers. However. since
these have furnished such real
comfort and pleasure TO our boys,
the American Red Cross is arranging
for as large freight shipments of these
as possible to he distributed through
its Foreign Commissions. For these
have made universal appeal. One big
burly soldier boy was as pleased as
punch over some simple puzzle that
had been slipped into the bag he drew.
Still another Instance Is told of II
soldier boy who came from the trench
covered with CRIME and dirt and with
not even as much MS a toothbrush in
his possession. When he was handed
comfort kit with comb. brush and
even n toothbrush his Joy knew no
bounds. and he Immediately made Il

Hawk Works Hard for LixIna.

The hawk Is successful fisherman,
and We're its task done with the catch.
ing of fish its lot would be an en-
viable one. But live fish Is not de-
sirable as the piece de resistance of Il
hawk dinner, so the bird that catches
one always flies around until the fish
is dead. This, we are told, is the in.
variable practice.
Sometimes fish expires quickly.
while at other times hawk must fly
around for hours before it can return
home to the waiting family. There
have been times when the fish have dis
played stamina greater than the birds.
This may explain why hawks seldom
pounce on the croaker, most tenacious
of life of all fish in the waters round
about.
There Is a well-attested instance OF
n hawk which started to fly around
with croaker 1t had caught and, after
Tapping about a whole afternoon and
half n night, fell exhausted on the
beach. Fishermen who were attract
ed by the unusual occurrence found
the hawk dead while the croaker, fast
in the lifeless talons, had not croaked.

Tigers Amazing Feat.

"The strength and vitality of full
grown tiger are amazing" asserts
wild-game hunter, In Chicago Ameri-
can. II had occasion to spend
the night short time ago In place
where tiger had performed some re-
markable feats. Just Mt dusk one Of
these marauders visited the village
and discovered cow and her six
months-old calf in pen which had
been excavated In the side of hill
and adjoined house. There was no
possible way to enter the inclosure ex-
cept by door opening from the main
part of the dwelling or to descend
from above. The tiger jumped from
the roof upon the neck of the heifer,
killing It instantly, and the inmates Of
the house opened the door just in time
to see the animal throw the calf out
bodily and leap after 1t himself. I
measured the embankment and found
the exact height was 121a feet"

HAD BEGINNING IN ROMANCE
Pretty Legendary Story Concerning
Tea That Dates Some 1000 Years
9sA Before Christ.

The Chinese claim to be the first
users Of tea as a drink, and how it
originated Is told in a pretty little
legend that dates back 1900 years be-
fore the coming of Christ.
A daughter Of a then reigning SOW
ereign fell in love with young noble
man, whose inferior birth excluded
him from marrying her. They man
aged to exchange glances. and he oc-
casionally gathered a few blossoms
and had them conveyed to her.
One day in the palace garden the
lovers met. and the young man en-
deavored to give her a few flowers
but so keen was the watchfulness of
her attendants that all she could grasp
was little twig with green leaves.
On reaching her room she put the
twig In water, and toward evening she
drank the water in which the twig
had been kept. So agreeable was the
taste that she even ate the leaves
and the stalks. Every day afterward
she had punches of the tea tree
brought to her, which she treated in
the same way.
Imitation being the sincerest form
of fiattery. the ladies' of the court tried
the experiment, and with such pleas
ing results that the custom spread
throughout the kingdom-and the
great Chinese tea industry became one
of the greatest businesses in the
world.

BABYs LOT NOT HAPPY ONE
Small Wonder That So Many Children
Of the PurItans Ended Their
Earthly Career Early.

There Is no doubt of the strength
and endurance of the Puritan babies
which survived the hardships of the
first few months of their lives. The
Puritans came to America some time
before modern heating appliances were
scheduled to arrive, and their winter
days and nights could have been little
less than one long shiver.
IF ms elders suffered so much dis
comfort what must have been the
hardship Of the newest baby who, a
Few days after his arrival In this
world. was taken to the coldest part
"f 1.-THE bleak little Puritan meeting
nouse-which never knew anything
better :han heatless days? "This ex-
pedition often completed the baby's
earthly career" says Laura f. Rich
ards, In recounting the tribulations of
the Puritan junior population. We
think of the hardness of the early
Puritan children. but this writer says,
"Of Judge Sewall's IA children, but
three survived him, majority dying
in infancy; and of the Is children of
his friend. Cotton Mather, but two sur
vived their father" The infant NOR
tality due to exposure may be readily
conjectured.
In addition to the visit to the cold
meeting house, the baby must steel
himself to face the greater or lesser
ailments of babyhood-and their RENE
dies. One of these remedies, which
admirably asserts the spirit of the
times, was reserved as cure for fits
or "rickets," the trouble was called,
and was known as "snail water" This
concoction, containing n peck of gar
den shell snails. was made doubly eff
fective by adding quart of II ated
earthworms.

SLEEP AS AID TO LONGEVITY
Long Hours In Bed May Mean Long
Life, But the Question Arises,
Is II Worth Il?

The farmers wife at Market Bos-
worth, England. who, though in per-
feet physical health" has remained in
bed for three years may hold that IL
we all spent, more time in bed we
should live much longer. This theory
Is borne out by the experience of two
sisters Of Brillat-Savarin, who nearly
attained hundred years. They lived
at country house belonging to the
author Of the "Physiologie du Gout,"
which he used only in September and
October. They spent ten months of
the year in bed. getting up two days
before his arrival, and living n normal
life during his stay. On his depart
ure they would say: "Goodby until
next September, Anthelme. We are
going to bed" One of them died at
the age of ninety-nine, as she was fin
ishing dinner, her last words being,
Hurry up with the dessert"
On the other hand, some Swiss doc
tors say that the amount of sleep
should be regulated by altitude. Too
much sleep, they maintain, is as HARM
full as too much drink. In low-lying
districts seven hours slumber may be
taken with impunity. but up In the
mountains five hours Is quite enough.
These sleep specialists also ban the
practice of remaining in bed in the
morning, half awake, and insist on the
necessity of arising as soon as sleep
fails.
