A Communal Mind

Certain things in animal life lead me to suspect that animals have some means of communication with one an other, especially the gregarious ami malls, that is quite independent of what we mean by language. It is like an interchange or blending of sub conscious states, and may be analo gous to telepathy among human beings Observe what a unit flock of birds becomes when performing their evo lutions in the air. They are not many but one, turning and flashing in the sun with unity and a precision that it would be hard to initiate. One may see a flock of shore birds that behave as one body; now they turn to the sun sheet of silver; then, as their dark backs are presented to the be- holder, they almost disappear against the shore or in the clouds. It would seem as if they all shared in a con- munal mind or spirit, and that what one felt they all felt at the same in- Stant.-JOhn Burroughs.

HAD NO USE FOR FAIR SEX
St. CoIumba, Even in FanaticaI Age, Carried His Aversion to Woman
 kind to Excess

Iona, which is one of the HebrideS group of islands off the coast of Scot land. long ago suffered the distinction of being q land without women. During the middle ages the island was given to St Columba the patron saint of Argyle. by Christian, the king of the northern Scots. The holy man built chapel with his own hands and established a mission station from which to send out missionaries to the heathe Picts. Then, in order to make sure that his island was a holy place, he decreed that no woman should set foot upon it's shores. He carried this prohibition against the weaker sex even to the length of refusing to al- low a COW to be kept on the island.
 A difficulty arose in the fact that many of the converts which he made among the heather had wives and re- fused to be separated from them. To obviate this difficulty another island a couple of miles away was set apart as a home for the wives of the faithful On Iona watch tower was built. from which the island of females was constantly watched to see that no woman left it. Legend says that post of watchman was in great demand among the brothers.
 Later the good saint left Iona, and an abbess and nuns moved in.
 It is curious fact that when. many years after St. Columba had gone to his reward. pilgrimage was made to the island of Iona, about twO-thirds of the 4,0OO pilgrims who went there were of the sex that does not mind being hated or feared, but cannot stand indifference.-Niksah in Chicago Daily News.

The Right Man.

One day as Dan Beard was going up the elevator in the high Flatiron build ing in New York city at the rear Of the car was messenger boy with his arms filled with a score of bundles all of the same size.
 Peering over the top of the ambus- cade, he fixed his eyes steadily upon MT. Beard. The national scout con- missioner of the 100000 and more Boy Scouts of America knew the signs well enough to realize that something was passing through the boys mind. He asked the lad what he was thinking about.
 The boy replied: q was just thinkin' that you look like friend O mine."
 "What's your friends name?" asked the man who is the friend of all boys.
 "Dan Beard" said the messenger.
 q am Dan Beard," replied the com missioner with smile.
 "Gosh'' was the only reply of the astonished boy, who dumped his bun dles under the feet of the amused pas sengers and brought his right hand up to a stiff salute.

Shells Still EIYinQ.

Residents of the devasta ed districts of France are still fleeing from bursts of shell and shrapnel.
 The new menace is caused by the small grass and swamp fires, which frequently set off the shells that have been piled up to be hauled away and exploded in some safe place.
 Maj. H. c. Greene of Boston had a thrilling ride and narrowly escaped a hail of shrapnel on his way from St. Quentin to Laon as result of one of these fires. A French woman work ing in a field near Bouconville was gassed and considerable damage has been done.
 In the vast, desolate fields, thou. sands of unexploded shells have been picked up by German prisoners, and though there are details hauling them away and exploding them in remote valleys every day, there are still long ranks of them everywhere. Sparks from locomotives and from small fires where battlefield rubbish is being burned occasionally set fire to patches of dry weeds, and the accidental bursts are numerous.

HIS UNSEEN GUEST
Waitress Tells of Experience in
 Serving Ghost.
Old Gentleman May Have Been a Lit tic "off," but Her Notion Is That He Had Recently Lost
 Loved GrandchiId,

Jane, who has worked in one partic-
 ular section of the lunch counter of one of the great New York hotels since the day 1t was opened, is the best waitress that ever set down a dish without a spill or a clatter-so say the discriminating. Her deftness, her quiet manners, her promptness-above all her unfailing politeness-stamp her as one apart from the sisterhood. She dealt with one of those peckish, snap py men who had dropped in under the impression that because one sits on a stool in this excellent place it is cheap. It isn't. He was a little ashamed to russ about the prices, so he fussed about everything else. But at last he departed, and serene Jane permitted herself weary smile.
 You have to get along with all kinds, don't you" remarked patron. Indeed, yes" said Jane. q served ghost yesterday morning."
 "An old gentleman came in quite early, for breakfast. He was beauti- fully dressed; I think he was one of the hotel guests; at least he came in that entrance. He chose a stool and when somebody tried to sit beside him, he said, Pardon me, but can't you see that seat is taken?' He ordered toast, soft boiled eggs and coffee Then he turned to the vacant stool and asked, What would you like, my dearT
 "He paused as if for an answer. Ap- parently he heard one, for he said to me with smile, as if amused at the notion, A piece of pie and a cup of weak coffee with milk and some rolls
 "There wasn't any pie at that hour and so he ordered sliced peaches. brought all the things and arranged them as if for two. By that time peo- pie were moving away from him. He buttered the rolls at the vacant place before he ate a bite himself. Then he made his own breakfast I thought there might be a scene about the two checks, but no. He added them up aloud and correctly; counted out the change in his hand; left tip in front of each plate and then asked for a paper sack. In 1t he put an unbroken roll. Then he paid the cashier and went out They found the paper bag with the roll in it outside on the steps,"
 Gould you make out whether he thought he was talking to a man or wOman?" asked the patron
 "I thought it was a little child," said Jane softly. "He always looked down when he spoke to it, and he buttered the rolls, and the pie order for break fast was childish, tool thought" and Jane's eyes seemed a little misty. q thought maybe he had lost a favorite grandchild"

Brazilian Church 100 Years Old.

Christ church of Rio de Janeiro, which soon will celebrate it's cente- nary, is said to have been the first America.
 It was erected to provide a place of worship for the English community. Two restrictions were placed on the church. the exterior was to resemble a dwelling house and not temple, and no bells were allowed. Out of this concession grew the religious liberty which now exists in Brazil.
 Today there are two Anglican dio- ceses and 40 churches in South Amer ica.

It's folly to build with neutral ma terials. Character demands touch with God and cooperation with ones fellows. There may be some with de sire to be considered clever who dare to assume positions that throw them into the limelight and the ridiculous. Th-S may conjure up cute-sounding phrases trimmed to capture itching ears without giving thought to what real meaning they may convey. It's dangerous to vent wholesale disaster upon those of other faiths. If men be given to folly it's your part to lead them to the truth.-Grit.

Paws to Remove Gaso,ne.

From it's investigation of the effects of removing gasoline from natural gas, the United States bureau of mines has concluded that the gas is not only not made poorer but that it's consumer is actually profted by the process. gallon of gasoline burned in the gas IS worth about 1A cents, but the con- densation of the light oil in pipe lines causes large leakages and lowering Of pressure-troubles that are mostly eliminated when the gasoline is re- moved.

A tall, well-buflt young Armenian had stumbled from the stairway of the A.toonj.an building and was shouting Help helpp' And as Armen watched, the alarmist went racing up the street in panic, while series of screams sounded from the rooms of the ba- zaar. &
 Some one else started to run. It was Armen Doomborijian, and his course lay across the street. Lugging the heavy rug, he hustled into the stairway and up the flight.
 Into the Altoonjian living room Ar men staggered, weak from the quick climb, burdened as he was with the rug. There was no one in sight, but a scream from the kitchen lured him in that direction. He burst through the doorway to be greeted by horrifying sight.
 Araxia was running from the kftch- en, her hands wildly and Intellectually beating at her burning clothes. The floor also was blazing near the gas stove, and it flashed into Armens mind that the girls dress must have become ignited while she was trying to ex- tinguish the other flame. A pepper containing some popped corn showed what she had been doing.
 When Doctor Azaad returned from his quest for help, bringing several startled persons, including MT. and Mrs. AltoOnjian, he found Araxia lying on a davenport sobbing hysterically, her arms about the neck of Armen Doomborijian, rug merchant.
 With one hand Armen patted her head, trying to sOOthe her, while the other held an object at which he now and then cast rueful glance out of the corners of his eyes.
 The object in question had once been a Kermansha rug valued at 5000, but now 1t would not bring $25, 1t was so badly charred and burned.
