Getting On in Life.

Someone whose hair was growing
irOn-gray said; 81 am getting on in
life" His friend. who knew him
very well, had his doubts. He mis-
took getting on in years for getting
on in life. He was morally and spir-
itually just about where he had been
30 years before. Nobody gets on in
life except those that achieve spirit
ually. When boyhood's bad temper
persists into manhood, when one is ir-
ritable, disobliging, selfish, naughty,
proud, self-suficient, immoral, goddess,
n should not talk about getting on
in life, even if one is as rich as Croe-
sus. To get on in life is o rise in
moral stature. 1t is to have a soul
big enough to love and admire without
envy, to be content with treasures Of
the mind, to set character first of
all. The man who is "rich in faith
gets on. The others drift down the
years, or accumulate great possess
sions, but in the essential things, the
things of eternity, they are water
logged and stationary.

WATER NECESSARY TO LIFE
All Vitality Has Been Well Called an
Aquatic Phenomenon" as French
Student Expressed IT,

All life is lived in water. Where no
water is, no life can be. The necessary
machinery may have been already
made, as in a completely dried seed,
but that seed cannot actually live I'M
til water reaches it again. To live is
to be wet; or, in the phrase of a
French student, Life is an aquatic
phenomenon"
When the supply Of water is with
held from living things, they may sur
vive, but their life is slowed down,
as 1t were. In the completely dried
seed, life is arrested altogether, yet the
creature is not dead. The French call
that a case Of vie suspendue-or, in
u language, suspended animation.
After astonishingly long periods, such
seeds will terminate if they are wa
tered. aa3A
The astronomer tells US that u
planet is only n of many belonging
to innumerable suns, and he wonders
whether this little "lukewarm bullet"
of ours is really unique in bearing a
burden of life. There is one path that
leads to the answer of his query. If
he finds no evidence of water on
other worlds, ne cannot expect to fin0
life there.

SAINT SURELY WOMAN Halter
COLOMBIA, 1t Must Be Admitted, Car
rled His Aversion to the Femi-
nine Sex to an Extreme.

Women have been forbidden on sew
eral islands ruled by the Catholic
clergy. One Of the most famous of
these is Iona Of Icolmkill, called also
/ or Ely, a small island Of the inner
H~ebrides, nine miles southeast of
Stafa, and separated from the island
Of Null by a channel one and a quar-
ter Of a mile wide, called the sound of
Toe Of Icolmkill 1t is in Argyleshire,
and has a population of about three
hundred, whose only occupations are
fishing and raising black cattle on the
bleak moors. From earliest times the
island has been accounted holy and it
is still known to the H~ighlanders as
Eilean nah Druinech-the Sacred Isle
Of the Druids, for whose rites 1t was
the chief seat.
In 663 Conal Christian, king of the
Northern Scots, granted 1t to st. Co
lomba. Brude, king of Picts, con-
irmed the gift upon being converted.
Colombia built a chapel and a hospice
of wicker and mud matched with
heather among the 800 gray Druidical
monoliths, on which rude crosses were
sculptured by early converts. Colom-
ba's aversion to everything feminine
was such that he forbade even the
keeping Of cows on the island, for, he
said. "where there is a COW there must
be a female, and where there is a fe-
male there must be mischief" Any
married tradesman of Iona must keep
his wife on the neighboring "Woman's
isle" While the lords of the isle were
brought to Iona for burial, their wives
were buried on the Isle Of Finlagah.
