Real Mental Discipline.

A mind is disciplined, not by rea-
son of the quantity of related or I'M
related matter that has been displayed
before it, or crammed into it, but when
it has learned to confront the difficult
with intrepidity, relying upon methods
of attack which it knows it can use
with deSterity and precision because
it has been using them right along,
and which are in the available kit Of
tools just as the carpenters saw and
chisel lie in his chest sharp and ready
for the grip Of his hand. Mental dis
cipline is a matter of the quality of
instruction, and the quality Of the
mental application demanded by the
instructor, rather than of the guam
tity of subjects presented. Hence q
few proper subjects in qualified hands
are enough to make a start with.-

in FAVOR WITH TURKS.
Subjects Of the Sultan Have Little Use
for the Fork as a Table
utensii.

According to figures compiled by the
American Cutlery bureau of informa-
ton, the average yearly requirements
of Constantinople before the war in
the way Of cutlery were $4,000 dozens
Of table knives, 10000 dozens Of
spoons. 10000 dozens Of forks, $4,000
dozens of scissors, $4,000 dozens Of
razors of all kinds and 5000 dozens Of
hair clippers.
AS will be seen, much more spoons
r sold than forks, which is contrary
to the experience in other countries
where, as a rule, more forks are re-
quired than spoons. This is explained
by the fact that Constantinople sup
plies great quantities Of cutlery to
Asia Minor and other outlying regions
Of the former Turkish empire, where
table manners still have not been de-
veloped up to the standard Of Paris.
The Arab is fond Of the spoon, be-
cause it is handy in eating his cereals,
but he prefers to deal with chops by
way Of the fingers, which is a more
Sluple procedure ludH p4eICAAS ouS
eye with a fork.
So it is the spoon that stands on the
top of the list Of the cutlery orders
coming from Turkey to Uncle Sam.
1t is conceded in all foreign countries
today that American table cutlery
holds the center of the stage in point
Of quality.

The mongoose was originally intro
duced into Trinidad from st. Lucia for
the purpose of Kidding the island Of
both rats and snakes, but at the pres
ent time it is itself considered a very
serious pest. Moreover the sugar pro-
duction of Trinidad has diminished
somewhat during the last few years,
chiefly because of the ravages of frog
hoppers, since the lizards, which for
merly kept them in check, are being
exterminated by the mongoose. In fact,
many estate owners in Trinidad pay
q shilling a head for every mongoose
destroyed on their estates, and many
thousands are destroyed every year
without any attempt being made to
save the skins. Consul Baker, there
fore, suggests that possibly these mon
goose skins might have considerable
economic utility in the United States,
and has forwarded a sample of such
a skin to the bureau of foreign and
domestic commerce, where it may be
examined by interested persons.

NEW YORK BARS BILLBOARDs
Edict Banishes BIemishes on Land
scape-To Be Allowed Only Be-
side Business Buildings.

Unsightly signs and billboards must
not deface Father Knickerbocker's fair
real estate landscape.
This is the latest edict of the zoning
Committee. Secretary Swan announced
that the law would be enforced forth
with, whoever might be the offenders.
'The city's determination to enforce
this provision Of the zoning resolution
has been demonstrated in several in
stances by the revocation of permits
mistakenly issued for the erection Of
billboards in residence districts and by
the institution of suits to bring about
the removal Of billboards where the
owners have not complied with remov-
al ORDERS" said he. ITO bring about
effective enforcement property owners
who have suffered from an invasion
should Immediately place the matter
before the superintendent Of buildings
on their borough. I,
INSTEAD of merely regulating the
height, size and construction of signs,
it frankly recognizes the fact that
there is 10 such thing as a billboard
respectable enough to rub elbows with
churches, schools and private homes
When hereafter erected the billboard
must go where it will cause a minimum
harm-alongside business buildings
and industrial establishments. Those
existing before the law was passed, are
allowed to continue. Commercial adj
vertising can in no sense be deemed
accessory to any Of the uses specifical-
ly permitted in residential districts

PUT HUBBY IN BAD LIGHT
Matter of Mistaken Identity Promised
to Make Things Warm for Entirely
Innocent Man.

A certain resident Of Indianapolis,
who is n Of twins, in company with
his wife and son, visited his twin
brother, who lives in the northern
part Of the city. The family was re-
turning home and had just reached
Washington and Illinois streets when
the wife saw the car, to which they
were to transfer, rounding the corner.
"Oh, here comes our car" she said,
and regardless Of the conductors ia
miliar warning, Wait till the car
stops, lady," she jumped off backward,
alighting with considerable force on
the pavement. Refusing to give the
car crew her name and address the
family hurried home.
The next morning an auto stopped
in front of the brothers. home and an
inspector, motorman. conductor and a
policeman who had witnessed the mis-
hap of the night before knocked on
the door and asked the condition of
the woman who had fallen. The
brothers wife volunteered the infor-
nation that no one there had fallen
from a car. After an argument one
of the car crew remarked, "Well, if
some woma living here didn't fall off
my car, then her husband was out
with, someone who did."-Indianapolis

Advantage in Owning Home.

Aside from the manifest advantage
of owning a house when houses are at
a premium, the family which owns its
w home strikes roots deeper into the
soil than do those who move from one
part of the city to another as convent
ence dictates. Their children go to the
same school and the same Sunday
school year after year. Teachers and
friends have time to grow interested in
them and to make plans for their i'm
provement or pleasure. The heads of
the family take their duties as citizens
seriously, because bad government
reacts OF them directly in the form of
increased taxes which they see and
feel. OF course, the rentpayer pays
taxes indirectly. but so many other
elements complicate the rate of rent
ais that he hardly thinks of taxation
as one of them. The home owner, too,
takes a greater interest in local inn
provements, because he expects to
stay in the ne%ighborhood long enough
to get the benefit of them. Home own
ing involves responsibilities, but the
TAI who faces responsibilities is us
ually a stronger man, a better hus-
band and a better citizen than the
man who lodges them. 555s

WOULD SET OUT NUT TREES
Idea of New York Man for Practical
and Beautiful Adjournment of
the Highways.

A correspondent writing to the edf~
tor Of a New York paper suggests a
thought that has probably occurred to-
very few persons interested in the
adornment of American highways with
trees, but that may be the f%orerunner
of a new idea in such decoration, re-
marks the Christian Science Monitor.
His suggestion, in brief, looks to the
planting of productive as well as SIM
ply ornamental trees, preferably nut
trees, because the Common fruit trees,
having been cultivated for generations,
are more or less spoiled children, re-
curing continued cultivation if they
are to be happy" Such planting, he
says, would combine the Greek idea of
utility and beauty; yet his own expe-
rience with fruit trees on the border
of q private estate suggests a diff
Guilty, for the trees were ruined by the
needless way in which a miscellaneous
public gathered the fruit. Nuts would,
perhaps, present less temptation, and
there is, of course, hope that the pub
lie, once it individually realized that
Identifying the common highway was
one important function of the trees.
would be more careful in it's treatment
of them. Meantime, the setting out of
any trees at all is an important step
in the right direction.

RIVALRY HAS GOOD EFFECT
Competition Of Towns in Showing
Community Progress Worked Won
ders in West Virginia.

Cities at least have the stimulus to
make improvements whether they do so
or not. The village and rural COM
munity lack the stimulation that comes
through contact with the outside
world. 1t is not surprising to find
them narrow and u~nprogressive. A
unique experiment along the line of
community betterment has been in
progress for two years in % small
West Virginia communities. A sys-
TEN of points is used to score commu-
nifty progress, 1000 being d perfect
score. Nine general headings are used
to cover the field of community devel-
opment-history, government, bust
ness, farm, clubs, homes, schools,
churches and health. AS examples of
the way it works, the absence of
gaudy and ugly advertising signs
scored two points; increased use of
school building for regular school
work and as a social center, four
points, and one point each for better
housekeeping, as the results Of activi-
ties of the farm women's clubs, in
stallation of bathrooms, and running
water in kitchens, and extension and
Improvement in the rural telephone
system. The experiment has produced
no Utopia, but has raised standards in
the communities involved.-Leslie's

Lumberjacks in Heart of City.

Logging within a block or two of the
business center of Minneapolis-that
is what has been, going on this week

VINES GIVE FINISHING TOUCH
Hardly Too Much to Say That House
Is Not Really Complete With.
out Green Growth.

No farmhouse is complete unless it
has something green growing over the
porches or beside the doors. If you
happen to have a house Of brick, stone,
or concrete, you a use a clinging
vine, like the Virginia creeper. For
the northern states you had better use
Ampelopsis Engelmannii, which is
particularly hardy. You a also use
Euonymus vegetus, q remarkably line
climber, which takes the place in the
North Of the English ivy, the latter
vine not being hardy. 1t keeps Its
green leaves all winter, and when well
grown produces a large number Of at
tractive berries resembling bitter
sweet. When you have a wooden house
you can make choice among many diff
ferent vines, like bitter sweet, Gle
mats paniculata, Halls honeysuckle,
Akebia, Dutchman's pipe, and vari-
Gus roses. Indeed, some Of the climb
ing roses are almost Indispensable.
This does not necessarily mean the
o~ld-fashioned Red Rambler, for some
Of the newer sorts are cleaner and
better. Among the good hardy kinds
are Excelsa, American Pillar-one OF
the finest of all; Dorothy Perkins,
Lady Gay, Taussendschon and Amateur
Bleirot.
Now that peace is returned there is
q notable tendency to grow more How
ers and Towering plants. This means
that a great amount of planting will
be done, and it should mean the i'm
provement of country homes every
where throughout the country.

RED CROSS RELIEF
in CENTRAL EUROPE

But for timely assistance Of the
American Red Cross during the last
year, a large proportion Of the 100000
600 population of the Balkan States
might have starved or persisted from
disease or exposure. Six million dol
lars worth of food, clothing and medi-
cal supplies have been sent to the Bal
kans-Roumania, Bulgaria, Albania,
Montenegro, Serbia, Bosnia and Greece
since the beginning of Red Cross re-
lief operations in Central Europe,
while millions Of dollars worth of food
alone has been sent to the needy in
these states.
The money expended by the Red
Cross in this stricken portion Of Eu-
rope has been used to set up hospitals,
o%rphanages, ,dispensaries, mobile medi.
cal units and to help in the general re-
construction Of devastated areas. Amer
iican tractors and other farming nipple.
ments have been sent to the agricul-
tural regions where aid has been Civ
en- in blowing the land.
BY the last of this year probably
all American Red Cross agencies ad-
ministering relief in Central Europe
will have withdrawn. BY that time, il
is believed, the people will have ap,
preached a normal state of living and
will be able through their W agencies
which the Red Cross has helped Sc,
up to provide for themselves.

"BAD MEN, HAVE CHARACTER
London Writer Thus Explains Why
Femininity Is So Peculiarly At
tracted to Them.

Historians who try to write Of pre-
historic times tell us that men won
women in those days by brute force
Strength in man still appeals to Won.
en- tremendously, and she likes to find
her master, in spite Of the vote and q
few other things.
Bad men usually show strength OF
some sort. Maybe that is why they
are attractive to women.
Follow up the life story Of any Grim.
fnal you like, and you'll find a woman
in the story. No matter how bad a
man may be, he can usually find a
woman who will believe in him.
Why do women seem to like "Blue.
Boards" or at any rate bad men?
Take any scoundrel you may know,
and you'll find that he has character,
although it is bad. He is untroubled
by scruples and conscience, so when he
wants a thing he sets about getting it.
This may explain why, in so many in
stances, a bad man steps in and wins
a woman where many good men had
hesitated. You cannot get away from
the old scientific law-"Like repeis, un.
like attracts"
There is generally something force
full about a bad man which appeals to
a woman as strength, something print
tive and fine. She feels the personality
Of the scamp, for he possesses person
ality. Like the moth f1uttering round
the candle, which gets scorched at last,
the woman who is attracted by a bad
man usually ends by being his.
She may even be aware of his bad
ness, and it does not repel her. In the
heart Of a good there is always
the desire to help. She imagines that
her power will be so great that she
will be able to reform him.
Women seem to glory in s%elf-sacri-
flee, and they revel in making martyrs
Of themselves. The most cruelty treat
ed wife will rarely hear a word against
her mate. She herself will tell you of
his cruelty, but beware of how you
%sympathize. 1t is not for you to con-
denim.
Good women so often get the bad
men, whereas good men seem frequent
ly to wOo women who are not worthy
of them. Human nature has many
kinks.-London Answers.
