Both Rich and Poor Have
Tendency to Be on Watch
for Faults of the Other

For indeed the fact is. that there
are idle poor and idle rich; and there
are busy poor and busy rich. Many n
beggar is as lazy as If he had ten
thousand years; and many man
of large fortune is buster than his err
rand boy, and would never think of
stopping in the street to play mar
bles. There is working class
strong and happy-among both rich
and poor; there is an idle class
weak, wicked, and miserable-among
both rich and poor. And the worst
of the Misunderstanding arising be-
tween the two orders come of the un-
lucky fact that the wise of one class
habitually contemplate the foolish of
the other. If the busy rich people
watched and rebuked the idle rich
people, all would be right; and IL the
busy poor watched and rebuked the
idle poor people, all would be right.
But each class has tendency to look
for the faults of the other.-Ruskin.

Large Percentage of the

New Guinea is the home of large
percentage of the worlds birds of

for their bonnets, but the natives OF
New Guinea and surrounding islands
make lavish use of the plumage as
head dresses.
Some precautions are now taken to
prevent visitors to New Guinea from

alone, and they continue to deck

Scientists Hold That Very
Thin Line Divides Animal
and Vegetable Kingdoms

Vegetables have thoughts, and can
record them in writing, according to
the assertions of an Indian scientist.
who has made close study of their
emotions, and who has invented an
elaborate instrument through which
their writings are recorded in sys-
TEN of marks and dots.
Vegetables do not pass through
such rapid emotions as human be-
ings, the scientist says, so he excites
their emotions, causing more rapid
writing, and reads the message later.
After giving them dose of potas-
stun cyanide they become dopey, and
the "pen" writes nothing. By max
ing them drunk with intoxicating
vapors the dots are as struggling as
toper's footsteps. Finally he kills the
vegetable with heat. the dots descend
ing as the temperature, rises until at
140 degrees Fahrenheit the dots
bound suddenly upward, then stop.
Other scientists give credence to
the observations saying that very
thin line divides the animal and
vegetable kingdoms.
