SHOWING VALUE OF FRONT"
lmpecunious Author Wise in Expendi-
ture That Less Far-Sighted
Friend Objected To.

There is q young author who has ar
rived, and therefore has only, when ne
wishes new suit or large steak or a
set of automobile tires, to sit down at
his typewriter and dash off few care
less lines. and eager editors DO the
rest. Once upon a time, however,
and, unlike the fairy stories, that
doesn't mean long, long ago-thls
worthy young mans assets were so
near the vanishing point that his nu-
Fmerous creditors became uneasy ana
threatened a total discontinuance OF
supplies. Something had to be done'
and that quickly. The author dld
something-he took famous lnancler
with whom he happened to be ac-
ouainted to lunch at the most ex-
pensive and conspicuous restaurant IN
town. When it was over he walked
home for lack of another nickel.
You are not as bright as you might
be. my boy" he patiently explained to
a protesting friend as he cheeifully
borrowed a quarter. Several OF my
largest creditors always lunch at that
place. and | knew they would recog-
nize the man l was with. Why, that
lunch is good for at least 90 days ex-

Showing RattIesnake's Age.

Another ancient belief is shattered Dy
science. The number Of rattles rat
tlesnake has is determined not by his
age, but by the number of times ne
sheds his skin, is the decision given
out by the curator in charge OF the
REPTILES in the New York ZOO. "A baby
rattler Is born with only button, but
soon afterwa. d h. sheds his skin and
has a rattle. Every time he sheds his
skin he gains another, and he usual
" does this three times year, al
though seasonal or food conditions
may vary this
"The rattle g rather a delicate or
gan" writes the curator. "The snake
wears out the older rings dragging
them around over rough, rocky
ground. A rattle seldom attains a
length Of more than 10 or II rings, as
when that number has been acquired
the vibration at the tip. when the or
gan is used, IS so pronounced that ad'
ditional segments are soon worn, bro

Through the Souls Eyes.

Physical eyes may measure the pos
sibilities that return effort in terms OF
dividends, but it takes vision Of the
soul to become a benefactor to your
fellows. Effort for personal gain must
be selfish beyond measure if it does
not benefit more than the first actor.
Even when it does not seem to be
help to anyone there are refexes that
are sure to reach men in various walks
of life. But the world needs the work
of the greater man. He may seem
mediocre to his fellows. They may
even coddle themselves into imagining
their own superiority. What he does
will show the difference. Intuitively
he will sense the need of the times and
without seeming to patronize he will
make people appreciate him as friend

"EXECuTED" His DEAD B0Dy
Stern Decree of Jucticc Carried Out on
Corpse of Ancient Dalmatian
Archbishop.

Dalmatia has made rapid strides in
science and literature. the story of her
culture, however, being one of per-
sonal achievement rather than public
advancement. Zara, its largest city,
for example. had no printing press un-
til 1896, while Venetian Dalmatia had
only one public school in the eighteenth
century.
Roger Joseph Boscovitch, one ia
nous son of Dalmatia, was esteemed
by scientists for his work setting forth
new atomic theory, but more popu-
larly known because of the adoption
of his plan for assuring the upright
ness of the dome of St. Peters at Rome
when q crack was discovered in it. he
wrote verse voluminously, but not as
successfully as he wrote his numerous
scientific treatises.
Marco Antonio de Dominis, another
Dalmatian Of public note. mingled the
ology and natural philosophy with
serious consequences to himself. he
set forth the first correct explanation
of the rainbow, but his theological
career was less fruitful. AS archbishop
of Spalato he attacked his superlors
in his writings. fled to England, re-
turned to Rome, then did penance by
writing q book refuting his heretlcal
works. He was tried, but died before
the trial ended The trial went on ano
he was sentenced to be dragged
through the streets Of Rome ano
burned publicly. His body was re-
moved from his coffin and the sentence
executed.\
