aknlahts Of the Hammer.

Some folks always see things
through indigo glasses. Neither rea-
son nor evidences OF success can
change the hue. Everything. is on the
road TO ruin and the talk is the kind
that drops the bottom out of fellows
ambitions. The only way TO get peace
when they are around is TO keep them
so. busy that they do not have time
TO use the hammer. If you can keep
their minds off themselves there is a
chance TO have some good work from
them. They are often skillful enough
If you can only get them busy. And
rs long as you can keep them busy
they have no time to think about
themselves. And you may be one Of
these folks. II you are, get busy and
stay busy It's the only way TO be
happy and fair with your fellowmen.-

CLAIMS A GREAT Discovery
Englishman Convinced That in Un-
cooked Vegetables and Fruit He
Has Found Ideal Fare.

at is an entirely erroneous idea
that human beings derive their energy
from food" says Mr.. William Arid of
Sompting, Sussex, England. who
claims that he lives like the hares and
squirrels.
Each human being" he contends,
"has q certain capital amount of en-
ergy which can be spent slowly or
rapidly, but cannot be supplemented"
Mr.. Arid is an engineer. Formerly
he suffered from very bad health. but
after six years OF experimenting In
dieting came to the conclusion that
uncooked fruit and vegetables Formed
ideal fare. Today, although nearly
fifty. he claims the feelings of boy
of eighteen.
"When / searched 10. the means Of
health" he says, 81 studied the wild
animals on the Sussex downs. So GER
tain am / that have found the true
path of life, that l am willing TO be
inoeulated with smallpox. cancer,
plague, anthrax, tuberculosis, or any
disease you care to mention. / am
sure that germs would not live in my
body.
II offered TO undergo the test in a
London hospital, but the surgeons
would not take the risk. This offer
still holds good, and If it is not ac-
cepted ! shall probably inoculate my
self in public"

UNIQUE SCHEME OF REVENGE
Sardonic Humor In Tale of How
Frenehman SCOT Even" With
His Fellow-c Citizens.

A quaint short story by Rodolphe
Bringer, a marvel of French brevity,
appeared not long ago in L'Humanite.
1t is called "The Benefactor's Re
venge," and the tale is of millionaire
In small town who was piqued be-
cause he was not elected mayor. Pres
emily he died, partly of annoyance.
The funeral was magnificent, but the
townsfolk did not attend. They dis
trusted the millionaire. Imagine the
shock of pleasure, then, when they
learned that he had bequeathed 3,000,-
600 francs to the municipality! 1t
was given on condition that the town
should undertake TO nourish and sus-
tain all the poor, without distinction
of age, sex or nationality, who lived
within its boundaries. At once the
popularity of the deceased took a tre-
mendous jump. A philanthropist; he
had heen misjudged. A pedestal was
prepared for his statue. Today the
pedestal still remains uhcrowned. A
town that was hard working and un-
known TO poverty and misery became
the mecca for all the scamps in France.
Since the day on which the will was
proclaimed tramps, rogues and
apaches have not ceased TO pou-
through its gates. At last it awoke to
the dark intention of its benefactor.--

RHoDESIA "LAND OF oPHIR7"
Psychologists Have Long Contended
for and Against Arguments to
That Effect.

The extensive ruins Of ancient forts,
temples and gold workings in Rho
desia have ben given rise to consider
able controversy from. time to time,
some psychologists contending that
they are only four hundred or five
hundred years old and others holaing
that they date back TO at least two
thousand years before the Christian
era, and that Rhodesia was the land
of Ophir, mentioned in the Bible at
chapters TX and of / Kings.
1t is noteworthy that Milton in
Paradise Lost" book ii, speaks of the
angel Michael leading Adam to hill
of paradise from whose top
His eyes might there command wherever

The theory has been advanced that
If Rhodesia was not actually Ophir,
1t was at least the "Havilah' whence
the gold of Ophir was obtained and
which was so much in evidence at
Solomon's entertainment of the queen
of Sheba. If this theory is correct
then Sofala of today would be the
site of ''Tarshish." the ancient sea-
port for 'Havilah," and the outlet
for precious stones, metals and other
merchandise, Ophir being situated in
all probability on the southern coast
of Arabia and constituting a distribut-
ing emporium rather than the place
of origin of these things.

ExpIainino the "Rina Finger"

OF all the men, both young and old,
who place engagement rings on the
fingers of their brides-to-be, it Is al
most an absolute certainty that not
one tenth of them knows why he places
the ring on the ring finger of the left
hand. OF course. the answer could
be: "Eyerybody's doin' it," The Gus
tom of placing the ring upon the fourth
finger seems undoubtedly to owe its
origin TO the fancy that a special
nerve, or vein. ran directly from this
finger to the heart. Macrobius, in his
Saturnalia, ailudes to the belief in the
following words: Because of this
nerve, the newly befrothed places the
ring on this finger of his spouse, as
though it were a representation of the
heart" This information, he asserts,
was derived from an Egyptian priest.

been made with the manufacture of
saltpeter from the waste liquids of the
mill. 1t is calculated that under nor

of Czecho-S lovakia will produce 6,000

saws the American Forestry
Magazine, OF Washington, d. I.
The handling and perpetuatlon

foundation of careful and thor

people today realize the value.
and Importance of agricultural
experiment stations in furthering
the interests of the farmer and
showing the way to more scien-
tihc and more profitable farming.
An even smaller number recog-
nize as vet that forestry as a
pursuit. closely resembling agri-
culture. can be furthered in much
the same way. Results are OBJ

or at most, two or three years.
lit takes only a few years to pro-
duce new varieties of farm crops,
and the farmer obtains the first

use Of scientific methods devel-
oped by the experiment stations.
If Investigations in agriculture
are important under these cir
cumstances when the mistake of
one season may be corrected the
next. how much more important
it is that the growing of trees, in
Nolving decades or perhaps a
century. should be scientifically
conducted, and that experiments
along this line, also requiring
very long periods, should be ini-
tiated at once?
One may not hope to plant
tree and also see it ready to cut
for lumber. All the more reason,
then, why the person who starts
the business should have clear,
scientific understanding of what
the results are likely to be.

While at the present rate of
