No FIeas on MONKEYS.

Perhaps the most surprising infor-
nation gathered with respect to fleas
is that monkeys have no fleas. This is
an assertion that is commonly received
with establishment and incredullty,
but, says Howard Russell, the fore
most authority on fleas, healthy wild
monkeys are much too clean and &C.
tive to harbor fleas, and when they are
seen searching one another's fur in a
fashion familiar Sqll of US it is only
to clear their skin o. any particles of
scurf and dirt.
1t may be mentioned too, that only
one instance is on recon- where a flea
was found on a reptile. his was on a
brown snake which was captured near
Perth, in West Australia, and which
was probably derived from some small
mammal devoured by the snake The
flea was firmly fixed between the scaly
plates Of the reptile.
The history of the flea would seen
to go back many centuries, but the
only fossil remains of a flea that have
so far been found is a single insect in
a bit of Baltic amber. The flea Is ad.
preserved by its semi-transpar
ent surroundings.

PURITY OF NATURAL ICt
Article Is Best Shown to Be
FaIIacy.

The common remark that natural
ice is not so pure as the manufactured
kind is somewhat of a fallacy. PraCti-
cally 80 per cent of all the impurities
are cast Off by nature in the process
of freezing. The remainder of the i'm.
purities that are included in the ice
die in transportation. Sometimes, of
course even in a healthy flowing
stream, nature slips up and a germ
does get locked up in an ice crystal
but this is usually the finish Of the
troublesome germ, for though the cold
does not often kill him the fact he can
not roam about and search for food
brings on starvation. Some germs die
quickly, others live a week. while
laboratory tests show that the typhoid
germ lives lOnges--itS maximum limit
of life while frozen in ice being
placed at three months. Since natural
ice is usually stored at least ninety
days before it is shipped to market,
the matter of its purity need not be
doubted Many tests of natural ice
have shown that it is far more pure
than the city water of most commum-
ties.-Floyd W. Parsons in the Satur
day Evening Post.

Man With Right Attitude
VIII Keep Morale Right

High courage often runs wild. It's a
common thing for daring to run into
the foolhardy. And when 1t does the
victim often suffers such severe pun
ishment that it is impossible for him
to regain his proper balance with life
problems. He loses self-confidence
and becomes the lackey of those who
choose to use him. So the proper
morale keeps a man within his limits
and helps him fill them to their ca
pacity. The greater the natural en-
dowments the worse the ruin when
morale fails. On the other hand the
man with the right attitude in life is
almost sure to keep his morale right
and win in spite Of circumstances.

Overcoming Our
Failures
Encouragement is a Menace
to Happiness

There are times when notwithstand.
lag our efforts we do not seem to
make any Roadway with our ambi,
tons, says a writer. We set high goals
for ourselves and we make the at,
tempt to gain them, but even though
we plod perseveringly toward them we
seem to meet only with obstacles and
disappointments. Then it is that we
begin to feel that Encouragement
which is bound to react to our I'M
doing unless we pull ourselves up
sharply. Life is not bed of roses for
anyone, for all that we envy the ap-
parent ease and happiness of some Of
those with whom we come in con
act. They, too, have their trials auG
their disappOintmcnts Of which we
auow nothing, and who knows but
that they brayely hide their real feel
igns under a. show of prosperity and
happiness? No one likes to wear his
heart upon his sleeve, and from the
prOudeSt to the humblest, from the
richest to the poorest, there is ever
the determination to hide
the disappointment Of ambitions I'M
and hopes unfulflled. 1t is
only through earnest effort that we
overcome our failures, whether they
affect our spiritual or our worldly de
sires, and it is for this reason that
Encouragement is such a menace to
happiness.
