Educational Problem. la India.

The Girls school at Katra, Allaha- bad, can accommodate but few Hindu girls in the boarding department be- cause of the difficulty of caste One Brahman girl who was very anxious to enter the school had to be refused because she could not do her own cooking and take the full course, and she could not. because of caste regu- lations eat at the clubs with the Chris. tian girls. A woman was found who would cook for her. but this woman refused to wash the dishes, because to do so would make her ceremonially unclean.~ A second woman said she would wash the dishes, but she couldn't cook for the Brahman girl because she was of such low caste that the girl would not eat her cooking. As 1t was impossible to take in. two extra wom an besides the girl she had to be re fused.-The Continent.

The boosting spirit is rampant in Flagstaff. This is surely commend able and worthy of example in other communities of this section. That hustling and attractive town aspires to become the undisputed metropolis of Northern Arizona. However, if we are not mistaken, the possibilities of Holbrook have been overlooked by the citizens of the town "at the top of the world" The signs of the times indi- cate that before the ldes of March next year roll around this little com munity of Holbrook will have reached a size and importance that will be diff ficult to head We mention this mat ter merely that Flagstaff will realize the probabilities and not be too bitter ly disappointed at failing to achieve the goal glimmering in their present perspective. We shall always refer to Flagstaff as one of our most pleasant and hustling suburbs.-The Holbrook News.

The "Evil Eyc.1

The evil eye was the power sup posed to be possessed by certain envi- ous persons to bring woe and misfor. tune upon the prosperous and happy by means of malevolent glance. It was belief that spread itself pretty we'll over a place even in minds of the highest caliber. It is odd that Bacon, who conceived and explained a new system of philosophy, could seriously consider a piece of nonsense like that of the evil eye, yet he emerges a mo- ment from the charmed realm of knowledge to say: Envy, which Is called an evil eye, seems to emit some malignant and poisonous spirits that take hold of the spirits of another {; and is said likewise to be of greatest force when the cast of the eye Is ob- llQue."

HAVE HAVE STOOD TEST OF TIME TINE
Quotations With Which All Are Fa- miliar Acquire Popularity Only
 Becauss of Their Merits.

The quotation worthy of the high title of familiar" must have stood the test of time and passed unhurt through the shifting tastes and fash ions of centuries. In It's lofty or in its humble way 1t must show that, like Shakespeare, 1t twas not-for an age, but for all time" I used the word humble" because the rhymes of child hood, of the nursery, fulfill the re- ouirement of age in quotation worthy to be called familiar. Their intrinsic. their abstract merits may appear slight, they may even seem to be sheer nonsense, but they are passed on by mothers and nurses and by the children themselves from generation to generation. We may be assured that they would not thus have lived and prospered If they had not pos sessed some quality. however slender, of genuine worth, of real humOr or imagination, which gave them per manence.
 Then there are the popular sayings. the folk tales and ballads and the songs of the people with an ancestry lost in the mists of antiquity, which, stored in human memory and kept alive only by human lips, have come down across the centuries with their endless variants until at last they have been gathered up by the collector and the antiquarian and made safe from oblivion by print and paper. These tales and ballads are often rude in form and expression, but no curious inquiry is needed to explain their long life and lasting familiarity. In them you find wit and wisdom, sparks struck from the hard Hints of expert ence by men and women struggling unknown through what we call life.-- Henry Cabot Lodge in Scribner's.

GROW FAR ABOVE SEA LEVEL
cedars Flourish In Full vlgor at Ali. tudes surpasslna Height of Most
 Mountain Peaks.

Eleven thousand one hundred feet al titude above sea level is some distance above the clouds for the habitat of . species of great tree which attains a circumference of 16 and even IS feet The tree Is the western mountain ce- dar, and 1t Is found growing in full vigor at elevations of from 5000 to over 11,0O0 feet in the southern portion of the Sierra Nevada and where this huge mountain chain merges over into the Sierra Madre. running down into Mexico. In most of the mountain re- gions of the United States 11.0O0 feet is at or above timber line, but in these southern Sierras are many genial high valleys and pockets where huge trees are found at attitudes which surpass the height of most mountain peaks The snow covers the peaks and slopes for great portion of the year, but with the earliest melting the trees start growing and in the case of the mountain cedars make an even greater annual growth than many of the low. land trees where the want of water compels short growing season. These huge mountain cedars are close cous. ins to the. great cedars of Lebanon from the timbers of which the temple at Jerusalem was built. The American cedars, however, are more upright in growth than the cedars of the Old World.

FORTUNATE IS H0MELY MAN
h unduly Attractive, the Unhappy Male Seems Doomed to Misfor-
 tune All Ills Life.

I have no objection whatsoever to children being beautiful, or to young girls being beautiful, or to woman of whatever age being beautiful. But l do insist that for a man not to be homely Is his misfortune, Irwin s. Cobb writes in American Magazine. The handsome male starts with a handicap at the very cradle.
 Women of all ages insist on cooing over him and talking baby talk to him and chucking him under the chin and kissing him-especially kissing him and since he is not of an age to ap- preciate these attentions the whole procedure must annoy him. fearfully.
 Should his beauty last into his boy hood the chances are that he has the sort of mother who will make him wear his hair long and force him to go about publicly in broad lace collar and a black velvet suit with a sash about his waist. and that means other boys will call him by extensively apt nicknames and generally make his young life burden to him.
 Most woeful of 1t all, if still his beauty sticks to him after he has ar rived at mans estate, only de termined and persistent struggle against the odds of destiny and of cir cumstances can save him from drift. ing Into the ranks of the matinee idols, the moving picture stars and the fioorwalkers In the department stores.

$25, ,00O DAMAGES; POOR

PHOENIX, May 2S--Mrs. Ola Ham, rick, who was run down and seriously injured by an automobile driven by 13-year-old Ralph Henderson, negro boy, appeared in court asking for 25,000 damages against the car own CTS, George Murray and wife, Kather- inc Murray, who permitted the boy to drive the machine. The suit was not defended and the jury returned verdict for the plaintiff in the sum of $25, ,O0O.
 Whether or not Mrs. Hamrick will ever be able to collect any of the said amount is doubtful, since almost im- mediateiy after the accident the mort gagees of the Emergency garage, which the negroes conducted, foreclos- ed. Murry'is said to be in Mexico and his wife in San Diego, and neither of them have any property on which ex- ecution can be had.

MANY BARRELS OF BOOZE

, Whiskey, captured bootleg, to the value of $125,000, was destroyed in Tombstone last week by the sheriff's office. The barrels of booze were rolled out of the cells, where they had been locked up for safe keeping, and the bungs knocked out. The scene of the destruction was Toughnut avenue, the street in front of the courthouse, and the yellow flood of bust-head then flowed down the street, filling the air and the nostrils of the spectators with intoxicating perfume.
