Proof of Convexity,

The proofs of the ~convexity of the
earth's surface are numerous and
some of them exceedingly simple. If,
standing on the seashore, in a clear
day, we view a ship leaving the coast
in any direction, the hull or body Of
the vessel first disappears; after
wards the rigging. and lastly the top
of the highest mast vanishes from
sight. Navigators have sailed around
the earth. Among the earliest of
these was the famous English sailor,
Sir Francis Drake, who sailed from
Plymouth, England, on December 10,
1877, and arrived at the same place
on September %, 1880. Many other
early n~avigators, by sailing in a west
erly direction, arrived at the country
they sailed from. The form of the
earth's shadow, as seen upon the moon
in an eclipse. indicates the globular
figure of the earth, and the conse-
quent convexity of it's surface.

MORE THAN GREAT PAINTER
Gustave Dore Is Declared to Have
Been an Accomplished Player
on the Violin.

Gustave Dore (the painter) was said
to be famous on the violin. and his
claims to consideration were far from
inconsiderable. He had acquired a va&-
liable instrument, on which he used to
play Berlioz's concertos with a really
extraordinary facility and spirit. These
superficial works were enough for his
musical powers. The surprising thing
about his execution "a that he never
worked at it. If he could not get a
thing at once, he gave it up for good
and all.
We lived in the same quarter and
visited each other frequently. AS we
almost never were of the same opinion
about anything, we had in~terninable
arguments. entirely free from rancor,
which we thoroughly enjoyed. l have
seen him painting away on thirty can
vases at the same time in his immense
studio. Three seriously studied pic
lures would have been worth more.
At heart this great, ~Overgrown. jovial
boy was melancholy and sensitive. He
died young Of heart disease, aggra-
waited by grief over the death of mis-
mother, from whom he had never been
separated. / dedicated a slight piece

LEAVE WORRIES AT OFFICE
Men Who Deal Successfully With Big
Problems Know When to Forget
All About Them.

"When I leave my office at night"
said a man who has made a reputa-
ton for dealing successfully with big
problems, according to the New Sue
cess, 81 take no business worries with
me, because I want to come back in
the morning at the top of my condi-
ton, capable Of doing the biggest days
work that is possible for me.
eff l were to worry over things at
night, if l didn't get recreation and
rest, l couldn't do a mans work /
couldn't tackle big propositions.
ne man can take his troubles to
bed with him and lie awake thinking
of them when he should be getting
refreshing sleep to reinforce him to
handle big things the mex day. Buoy
ancy, enthusiasm, mental harmony, are
the very essence of efficiency, of crea-
tive ability; and worry destroys all
Of these, so 7 absolutely refuse to
worry in any circumstances.
81 won't waste my energy and my
creative power lying awake nights wOr-
rying over things. l know that l can
deal efficiently with them mex day, and
not till then. Now this is what all men
of large vision and practical horse
sense do. They don't drag harassing
problems home with them after the
days work is done; they loci them
in their place of business. Over the
door of their home is written in men,
tai characters:
"'No worrying here. This is my re-
freshing station, my repair shop. This
is where I equip myself for the next
days run. This is where l renew my
spirit, my enthusiasm, my Zest. Here
is where I brace up my sagging ambi-
ton and get ready for tomorrow's
rum"

AS TO ORIGIN OF WOMAN
After the Biblical Story, Belief Held
by Persians Is Easily the Most
Poetical.

A magazine writer consumes con-
siderable space in trying TO prove that
it is wron. to teach that woman was
made FROM Adams rib. He says the
proposition is ridiculous. and while it
may have been well enough to teach
it in the dim and distant past, we
ought TO be ashamed of ourselves for
sticking to the superstition"
If our own idea or belief of the orr
gin of woma is a superstition. then
1t is quite as good a superstition as
other people have, says the Columbus
Dispatch. For ours is not the only
theory of the origin of woman. Many
other people have many other theories
or Superstitions.
The Australian natives believe that
woman was once a toad-and that
isn't very nice. If it is true, however,
it shows what a wonderful creature
he cad was transformed into and
we can rejoice thereat. Then the
Laplanders believe hat was
once a rabbit, and since a rabbit is
more likable than a toad we prefer
the Lapland superstition to the Aus
tralian.
The Japanese believe hat woman
grew upon a tree-and that is getting
along still better. The feathery bios
SONS of the trees, with their color
n their perfume, seem more nearly
approaching the realm OF womanhOOd
than do rabbits or toads.
But if ever we are compelled to give
up our idea thai m was made
from the rib of man, we are going to
accept the Persian theory. That is
by all odds the prettiest one, and the
one we could more easily believe than
any other. The PerSians assert thai
woman fell from heaven.

Grand Pre-.

The Evangeline district of Nova
Scotia is best seen by driving out
from the town of Wolfville, which
stands on the southern shores Of
Minas Basin. A drive of from ten to
twelve miles will give the visitor a
fair idea of the whole countryside.
Passing over a ridge ear the town,
the visitor comes 20 the GaSpereau
valley and the lake that gives the val
ley its name. Gaspereaux is the
French name of alewives, a kind of
herring which abound in these wa
ters. On all sides are orchards and
off to the left at the foot of a small
ridge is the hamlet of Grand Pre-. The
site Of the old French village, close
to the railway station, is marked by
a clump of willows, an Die we'll, and
the cellars of a few cottages. From
this point the visitor nay drive to
the north. across the expanse of fer
tile-dyked meadow that gave name to
the village.

Wisdom in Old Sayino.

The ancient proverb, shoemaker
stick to thy last" is said to have orig
mated in ancient Greece. The artist
Apelles painted his pictures and placed
them by the wayside to hear the com
ments Of passers-by. On one occasion
he heard a shoemaker criticise a shoe in
his picture as faulty, and he corrected
the error. But when the shoemaker
noting that his advice had been &C
cepted, criticised the drawing of the
leg, Apelles was forced to cry out
"Shoemaker, stick by thy last" that
is, you nay criticise in your own de
partment, but not otherwise.

A Scriptural Bull.

Even the Bible is not free from
bulls. In chapter thirty-seven of the
book Of Isaiah appears the following
confusion of ideas: "Then the angel
of the Lord went forth. and smote in
the camp of the Assyrians. a hundred
and foul score and five thousand; anC
when they arose early in the morning
behold. they We're all dead corpses."
