Giving Up Fairy Stories.

Do you remember when you had to
give up reading fairy stories? OF
course you didn't have to give 'em
up If you didn't want to, but teacher
and father and mother and all the
rest of the grown folks said you must
read grOwn-up books and so the fair
les were cast aside and
Oh, well, the same tragedy Of youth
is going on every day even now at the
public library, say the attendants In
the children's room.
One of the many duties Of these at
tendants is to lead the children grad
ually away from fairy stories to real
life stories. 1t Is no easy Job because
The children struggle against giving up
their fairies.
Never, 1t is said, has there been
such a run on the fairy tale shelf in
the children's room as there has been
recently.
In time, however, the fairies make
way for Treasure Island" the "Bears
IF Blue River" "Tom Sawyer" or '4it-
tie Women" and then the spell Of
fairyland is more or less broken.
ut would be so much easier to help
he little folks" lamented one of the
attendants, "if we only had more Of
the books that children so quickly
learn to love after they leave their
fairies. "-Exchange.

Uniuue Style Of GREETING.

Sir Auckland Geddes, who is evil
Identity expected to do great deal of
entertaining when he goes to the
United States, is a notable athlete, but
Il may be doubtful whether his physi-
cal endurance will be equal to the
handshaking which will be involved
unless he reforms his methods, re-
marks the Manchester Guardian. 1t
is most interesting If rather exhaust
ing, to watch him receive a number Of
guests as he did recently at Olympia,
for he has an athletic style all his own.
As each guest comes in sight Sir Auck-
land advances one foot, plants 1t firmly
and balances himself as If for trial
of strength. Then his long arm shoots
out to full length, he smiles the
guest straight In the eye like a boxer,
seizes his hand and draws him de-
terminedly around in a semicircle to
greet the hostess.
He will need to develop a less ex.
pensive muscular action for the So
cial tasks before him in America.

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
mails, that Is quite independent Of
what we mean by language. II is like
an interchange or blending of sub
conscious states, and may be analo-
gous to telepathy among human beings.
Observe what unit q 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 a unity and precision that
II would be hard to initiate. One may
see flock Of shore birds that behave
as one body; now they turn to the
sun a sheet of silver; then, as their
dark backs are presented to the be-
holder, they almost disappear against
the shore or I'm the clouds. Ii would
seem as II they all shared In COM
munal mind or spirit, and that what
one felt they all felt at the same In
stant.-John Burroughs.

A SCIENTIST SEES FUTURE
Year 1920 Seem Like q Pre-
historic Age.

Those unimaginative people who be.
lieve the high pitch Of inventive genius
was reached with the advent OF cleo
tricity, talking machines, airplanes and
the x-ray will be interested to know
that civilization on this planet has
really just begun. DR.. A. M. Low, q
London engineer with many inventions
to his credit, says five hundred years
hence our descendants will look back
upon conditions In 1920 with just such
feelings Of amused pity as we show
for the state of the savages Of pre-
historic times.
The scientist predicts among other
things that In 2420 A. D. all public
thoroughfares and parks will be IN
foreground. vehicles will be run by
wireless, telephones will carry an at.
tachment enabling the speakers to see
each other, and all roads will be as
smooth as billiard balls.
DIR. Low, who invented motor
scooter and has produced an apparat,
us for seeing simple objects by wire,
In recent Interview In London said
In part:
"When a man sets out for business
he will not proceed, as he does now,
by tramway car or train; he will pass
along delightful avenues underneath
the surface Of the earth. Parks and
all other places Of public resort and
beauty will be rooted In.
"MOtor cars and all motor vehicles
will proceed by wireless power and not
by the crude method Of using petrol.
They will be fitted up like luxurlously
appointed drawing rooms and will be
driven at rate of one hundred miles
an hour. Wireless telephones will be
installed In the cars, as well as every
kind of appointment making for luxury
and comfort. Many people will own
these cars.
'People will live In a condition of
splendid physical isolation. Televis-
ion-that is, the ability to see your
absent friend over distance Of many
miles-and wireless telephony will lead
to this condition.
"This vision is not extravagant or a
wild set of theories. 1t Is the direction
in which scientific discoveries and eX-
periments tend. Many scientific men
have come face to face with discover
les and inventions which are only sep
arated from actual realization by a
simple little difficulty, which will GER
tainly be overcome in time"

HAD NO USE FOR FAIR SEX
St. COLUMBIA, Even In Fanaticai Age,
Carried His Aversion to Woman
kind to Excess.

Iona, which Is one Of the Hebrldes
group Of islands off the coast of Scot
land. long ago suffered the distinction
Of being land without women.
During the middle ages the island
was given to ST. COLUMBIA, the patron
saint Of Argyle, by Christian, the king
Of the northern Scots. The holy man
built a chapel with his own hands and
established a mission station from
which to send out missionaries to the
heather Picts. Then, in order to make
sure that his island was holy place,
he decreed that no woman should set
foot upon its shores. He carried this
prohibition against the weaker sex
even to the length of refusing to al
low 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
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 1t. Legend says that post
Of Waterman was in great demand
among the brothers.
Later the good saint left Iona, and
an abbess and nuns moved in.
1t is curious fact that when, many
years after st. COLUMBIA had gone to
his reward, a pilgrimage was made
to the island Of Iona, about two-thirds
of the 1000 pilgrims who went there
were Of the sex that does not mind
being hated or feared, but cannot
stand indifference.-Niksah in Chicago

Weavino Mills Of BieIefeId.

In a review of the Bielefeld fax and
linen market the Rheinisch-W estfal-
isch Zeitung says that the weaving
mills cannot undertake operation on a
large scale for lack Of cotton and lin
en- yarns. Cotton I'm particular Is al
most wholly lacking, as it has to be
imported, and revival of the Belle
field industry Is impossible without cot
ton. 1t is impossible to compete in the
world markets with cloth of paper
yarn, which was manufactured during
the latter years of the war, although
It's quality has been improved consid-
erably.

until he reached the boiling point and
was glad when she left. She would
not receive another invitation to look
at his stock, he resolved. Yet his love
did not diminish. In spite of her cruel
treatment. Rather II was intensified
Armen's cogitations were interrupted
by the telephone bell.
'This is Mrs. Turpennlng." said a
wOman's voice on the wire. "I've de-
cided to take the Kermansha. l have
some friends at my home now, and
I'm anxious for them to see 1t. VIII
you have 1t sent right up? She gave
the address.
Armen was glad Of the excuse to get
away from the shop and the vicinity
OF Araxia's home. He rolled the rug
carefully-almost tearfully, for he was
loath to part with it-and went out
to the street.
1t was necessary to go past the AL
toOnjian apartments, on the other side
of the street; and he resolved not to
look In that direction, for fear he might
see his idol in company with Doctor
AZaad. Just as he was uttering q sigh
Of satisfaction because he had got past
without yielding to the desire to look.
he heard cry and automatically
turned to ascertain the cause.
A tall, well-built young Armenian
had stumbled from the stairway of the
Altoonjlan building and was shouting
Help help!" And as Armen watched,
the alarmist went racing up the street
in a 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
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 kitch-
en-, her hands wildly and Intellectually
beating at her burning clothes. The
floor also was blazing near the gas
stove, and it flashed into Armen's 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 Mr.. and
Mrs. Altoonjian, he found Araxia lying
on davenport sobbing Historically,
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 a 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 S25. 1t was SO
badly charred and burned.
