Compromise With Stupidity.

The public mind is nearly always
slow working The deliberations of a
body of men must usually wait upon
the intelligence of its least intelligent
member, and the final result of such
deliberation will ordinarily be closer
to the mentality of the stupidest mem
Der of the conference than that of
the most intelligent. Intelligence must
compromise with stupidity. The broad
minded must compromise with the big
oted. Stupidity and bigotry are near
ly always reflected in public opinion

= There are many kinds Of friends.
Some friends exist for revenue only
and some are protective to high de.

OFriends are useful in a multitude
OF ways. They are great assist.

for ducks and in digesting dinners.
A great many men find it impossible
to support large heavy bar in an
expensive saloon without the aid of
several friends. Friends can be
swornN at with comparative safety,
and the man who loves to tell dis
agreeable truths In an extensively
frank manner would not live long If
he were compelled to practice upon
strangers instead of friends.

Friends are responsible for most
of the politicians of the country.

Standard time is a uniform system
of time reckoning in the United
States and Canada adopted in 1858
by the principal railways, and since
then by the principal cities and towns

Use of Gold in Teeth.

The use Of gold as a substitute for
lead or bone as filing for the teeth
was perfected in 1855 by DR.. Robert
Arthur Of Baltimore, while in 1884
Prof. W. D. Muller of Berlin, in his
discovery of the bacteria origin of dis
eases of the teeth and of the large part
played by Tactic acid, opened the way
to avenues of research, which may ulti-
mately lead to the total extinction Of
the dentist.-New York World.

OVerheated Air.

A rise of temperature in the sur
rounding air diminisheS the amount of
oxygen consumed and the amount of
dioxide discharged. A fall of tenn
perature has the opposite effect. In
addition, the overheated air forms a
hot jacket around the body. which pre-
vents the radiation of heat necessary
to keep the body in a healthy condi-
ton. With a sedentary occupation a
temperature of from 65 to 20 should be
maintained for comfort and health.

Few Individuals Honored.

France delights in naming its streets
after some particular building, or some
happening, or a great victory, and this
is also true to certain extent in
Canada, where there is only one capt.

capital of Prince Edward Island. The
Charlotte so remembered was the
daughter and only child of George Nv,
who died only year after her mar

When the horses in Nice, France,
are hitched TO tar-spreading carts they
wear trousers to protect their legs from
the hot tar. A further protection for
them consists of a curtain suspended
between the cart and the horse. The
trousers are what lends distinction to
the horse, however. The knees are a

One hundred years before Christ 300
600 Germans invaded France, numbering
burning, plllaging as they went. At AK
en-Provence they were stopped and de-
feated. They sued for peace and swore
they would never do it again. Sixtv
years afterward 240, 900 Germans invaded
the Jura district of France. Six wears
later 100000 Germans invaded the terri
tory between the Meuse and the Disc
They were beaten. They swore thew
would never do it again.
Sixty years before Christ the Germans
invaded the left bank of the Rhine. Two

Germans invaded France. Thew we're

other invasion, another defeat another
solemn pledge never again" In 274 A.
ID. the Rhone basin was invaded by the
Germans; in 275 Northeastern France.
In 301 Langres was pillaged. The invad-
ers were beaten and they swore .never
again. In 35l they reconquered the left
bank of the Rhine. In 1854 they devas-
tated Lyons, in 800 Besacon. In 1854 thew

DO AMERICANS WANT MORE
WAR?

The hour is approaching when the
American people will carefully and de-
llberately scrutiniZe the engagements to
which their representatives at Paris seek
to commit them. The making of peace
with beaten enemy has been changed
from simple and unentangling process
into mass of entangling undertakings,
express and implied, open and secret,
written and verbal, the whole extent
and nature of which have not yet been
disclosed to the people. The country has
never had a similar experience. The
people were never before called up-
on to pass judgment upon such COM
pick and vitality important agreements
with other nations 1t is a new world of
responsibilities and unknown conse-
quences which the United States is ask
ed to enter. Every conscientious Am
erlcan is in duty bound to study the
questions for himself and to decide for
himself what is wise. He cannot afford
to take any mans word for the results.
as no man in any position is sufficiently
wise to foresee the end.
The argument is made that the United
States will never have to 90 to war.
since all nations will mutually pledge the
safety of all, and no nation will be called
upon to do more than it's share. But
this is fallacy The United States
should not trust any such arrangement.
Any American who knows his country's
history can destroy this argument bv
merely pointing to the sad experience of
George Washington and the Continental
Congress. Every State was pledged to
do its share and furnish its quota of men
and money to fight the Revolution. but
everybody knows that some States fail
ed and refused to do their share. The
burden fell upon those States which re-
fused to make the Articles of Confedera-
ton scrap of paper, and which were
able to furnish men and money.
If the United States should loin the
league of nations it would do SC in good
faith, and would keep it's pledged word.
AS it is the richest and most resourceful
of all nations, it would be called upon
first of all and would be expected to fur
nlsh more men, more money, and more
material than any other. Its very earn
estness and promptitude would act as an
incentive to Stacker nations to skulk out
of their obligations ''Let the United
States do it, would be the secret thought

is an unnecessary commitment and an
almost certain means of forcing the Unit !

1t is based solely upon fantastic and |
false assumption that all nations will al |

The Ploughjng OF the Lord.

The ploughing of the Lord is deep,
On ocean or on land;
His burrows cross the mountain steep,
They CROSS the sea-Washed sand.
Wise men and prophets know not how
But work their Masters will;
The kings and nations drag the plough.
His purpose to furfill
They work His will because they must
On hillside or on plain;
The clods are broken into dust
And ready for the grain.
Then comes the planting of the Lord.
His Kingdom cometh now;
the oceans deepest depths are stirred
And all their secrets show.
Where prophets trod His deserts broad
Where monarchs dragged the plough
Behold the seed-time of His word:
The sower comes to SOW.
