None, SIRE" said the chancellor
stoutly.
BY late afternoon all was arranged,
papers signed and witnessed, and the

other bold and flowing-the scrawl of

MAN NOT HARD TO ANALYZE
Observation Will Enable One to Deter
mine the Qualities Which Will
Make Him Valuable.

The qualities that go to make up a
man are tremendously complex and yet
1t Is possible by close scrutiny and
keen observation to analyze man and
understand him more clearly than he
sees himself. There are certain cardi-
nal mental and physical characteristics
which can be determined by a visual
examination made by an expert. In
like manner can be determined the
handspring of the man as eXemplitied
In what we ordinarily consider the
various parts of his will, or those fac
tors which govern his actions. The
practical application of the studies
taken together with his exerence and
history Is then apparent. Knowing his
various physical and mental character
lstics and his experience, we know
what sort of work he is able to do.
Knowing his will and what might be
termed spiritual characteristics, we
know what he will do, provided sur
rounding circumstances permit. With
this in mind we would place each one
of our present or new employees al
such work as he Is best able to do, and
we see that this Is not necessarily that
which he has always done. although in
general 1t does have more or less
close relation with that.-Industria

THOSE THIN, HARD YANKEES
Typical of Race Of Whom It Has
Been Said They Shall Inherit
the Earth.

Recently we sat in a refreshment
room of a railroad station conversng
casually with a foreign officer. Sud-
denly tall men in olive drab began to
come in by groups to wash up. They
were on their way. The officer, though
he tried to go on talking, couldn't keep
his eyes off the men, and his responses
became more and more absent as they
continued to crowd in.
"My God" he exclaimed, "whore
do they come from?"
Then we looked ut them. Not one
seemed less than six feet tall. They
were thin, hard, big-tisted, crag-
faced lot of men, the color of new
bronze, each with two deep lines
around the mouth, gentle with each
other, speaking softly, but certainly
the most formidable German killers
you could find in all the world. We
should not have noticed them partic-
ularly but for the officers dazed ap-
probation.
"They are probably from somewhere
in the mountains" we said at last.
The officer gave us strange look.
Such men as these, and we took them
so much for granted that we couldn't
tell where they came from New
York Tribune.

Insects That Help Mankind.

One of the great sources of loss in
wheat growing has been due to the
injurious activities of the wheat-midge,
which feeds on the grain, and, If un-
molested by its natural insect enemies,
would soon reduce our wheat crops to
the vanishing point. But several Of
our friendly insects keep the midge
in restraint, one being the ravenous
two-winged flies which seize and carry
away the midge, and suck o"t its
juices. It's most powerful foe, how
ever, Is the parasite that lives on the
midge-a small, black fly, somewhat
resembling the ant. The young of these
four-winged flies live on the larvae
and eggs Of the midge. AS the midge
increases in number, these parasites
also increase, for they depend for
living on the midge, and the more
midges there are the more parasites
there are on hand to eat them up.

COULDN'T USE MOTOR CARS
Etiquette Would Not Allow Driver to
Sit In Presence Of Chinese Dow
ager Empress.

When the dowager empress of China
died In 1908 she left 48 motor cars,
among other things, to her heirs. Most
OF these had been made specially for
her, many were gifts from high
Chinese pOtentates and all were gOr.
geous, palatial, expensive cars. Her
favOrite was an eight-passenger French
machine with its body painted deep
orange and its seats upholstered in vic.
let satin brocade edged with round fiat
blue turquoise stones.
But the dOwager never rode in a mo-
tor car in her life and not one of the
4s varieties ever left the imperial ga
rage.
1t was not because there were no
embryo chauffeurs in China. The
young Chinese who had been in Eng
land and America imbibing Occidental
college educations had learned to JOY
ride and dozens of them might have
qualified as high chancellor of the
wheel in the dowager empress buzz
