Teach With Rubber Stamps.

"Stick the stamp on the upper right
hand side of the envelope" says the
French government to the people by
way of the rubber stamp that cancels
the postage Since it seems to be
rather a late date to be teaching the
public elementary rules in the use of
the mail, one decides that there must
be a new class writing letters. Can 1t
be composed entirely of friends of
the expeditionary forces-American
Australian, British, Italian and In
dian?
The use of the stamp in this fashion
exemplifies how Enthusiastically ev-
cry nation develops available oppor-
tunities. Germany, before the war,
would have used it for a verboten sign.
Americans turn it into a money-mak-
ing scheme, for Bureson, yielding to
the advice of publicity experts, allow
ed the cancellation stamp to carry adj
vertisements of Liberty loans, the near
East relief and many other patriotic
and philanthropic causes. And now
the French write a message in accord
ance with the purest bureaucratic
tradition.-Indianapo News.

aisle of Artists"

An island in Lake Como is to be
known as the isle of Artists" And
thereby hangs a tale. The owner of
the island. Sig Caprini, was great adj
mirer of King Albert of Belgium, and
in his will he left it to him with the
wish that it might serve some noble
purpose which Italy could share. King
Albert, through his minister of arts
and sciences, has handed over the
property to the Italian government
with the object of making the spot
restful retreat and center of activity
for those who have devoted their lives
to art. Under the Academy of Milan
villas are to be built for artists and
the place will be transformed into a
little capital for promoting the fine and

Mans Network of Brains Never

Every Action Of the Body Controlled

quate Conception.

II is only within recent times that
the brain has been recognized as a
thinking organ, the ancients having To-
Gated the thinker in theD liver.
But even in the good old days there
were Psychologists who regarded the
kidneys as the real seat of the mind.
Even nowadays we speak of person
as being "of the same kidney" as
ourselves.
we speak of coward as a white
livered' individual An il-tempered
person we call "splenetic,' because in
earlier days the emotion of anger was
supposed to be engendered in the
spleen, indeed, the word spleen is in
our language synonym for angry IT.
ritability.
1t was formerly imagined that the
gentle emotions were engendered in the
heart, an idea that even now holds its
grip to a considerable extent Thus
we speak Of "kind-hearted" person
or of flowing heart" The lover
calls his lady fair his sweetheart"
To refer to the hearts that decorate
every valentine seems superfuous.
AS a matter of fact, the heart is in
certain sense an emotional center.
Joy makes it fiutter; fright will cause
1t for a moment or two to stop beat
ing.
This is because there is In the heart
a considerable assemblage of the
"ganglia," which are in effect tiny
brains, being mainly composed of the
same sort of gray matter that goes to
make up the cerebral cortex. Acting
as a group, 1t is their business to
control the rhythmic pulsations of the
heart.
These little brains, strung like beads
along the sympathetic nerve, are dis
tributed through the body. One finds
the biggest bunch of them in a COM
pick Unemployment of nerves behind
the stomach. This is the "solar pick
us" we have heard so much about.
1t Is, of course, highly sensitive piece
of apparatus, so much so that
hard blow in the stomach may kill
man.
You have probably noticed that keen
anxiety will give you an uncomfort-
able and even sickish feeling in the
region of the stomach. The solar
plexus is responsible.
1t is perfectly true that some of
your thinking is done for you by your
liver, your heart, your kidneys and
other parts of our body. Ninety-nine
per cent of the things you do are done
automatically and without conscious
effort of the mind. The thousands
of little brains distributed throughout
your body are at work helping. They
know their business better than you
know it. Try to fix your mind on the
tying of your four-in-hand scarf and
you are likely to find yourself doing
1t much more clumsily than if you
'let the thing do itself"

Why Ship Is Feminine.

A ship is invariably spoken of as
of the feminine gender; this is traced
to the ancient Greeks, who called all
ships feminine names out of respect
to Athene, goddess of the sea. Friday
is believed to be an unlucky day by
those who are superstitious. 1t is de-
rived from the fact 1t was the day of
Christ's crucifxion, as well as the one
on which Adam and Eve ate the for

This is believed to remind people of

ENGAGED IN SPLENDID WORK
of Making CrippIes and Unfortu-
mates Self-Supporting.

From his association with the late
Rev. H. Boswell Bates. founder Of the
Neighborhood house, George A. Mer-
rift learned how little was being done
TO make cripples self-supporting and
how common, almost universal, was
the belief that owing to various afflic-
lions these unhappy ones must always
he @ burden on others. This was not
his belief, and so strong did he hold
an opposite conviction that, with the
he inspired with it, he founded the
Path school at 60 West Twenty-Fifth
street, New York, in order to teach
'rjnples commercial and railroad teleg-
raphy and thus give to them that
greatest boon, a means of livelihood.
This school is still young, but 1t has
already proved itself many times over.
1t trains legless, armless, and de-
formed persons, but especially the
young who are thus afflicted, either in
the course laid out by the school or in
some other line most suitable to indi-
vidual cases. 1t is free to all, non-sec-
tartan, and 1t has already in its short
life lifted nearly so poor creatures
from a state of dependence, or even
penury, to positions where by honest
labor they earn from S12 to SIS per
week and have the joy that comes
from self-support.

A huge volcanic mountain with its
base almost on the equator and its
summit high in the regions of snow
is giving its name to the new British
colony which has hitherto been pro-
tectorate, under the title of British
East Africa.
The new name assigned to the for
mer German East Africa is also taken
from the chief natural feature of the
country. the great lake which was the
goal of the ancient Arab highway
from the coast. and which is now
reached by the central railway and
is known as Tanganyika Territory
from the lake of that name. 1t is

is comprised in these three countries.
