MADE FAMOUS BY THOREAU
Beautiful Walden Pond Chiefly Noted
AS One-Time Home of the
Noted Philosopher.

For some two years and three
months Thoreau lived beside Walden
pond, and walden" is probably the
best known and characteristic of his
works. At what time did the era of
snObbery in nomenclature begin in
Massachusetts and turn so many good
old ponds into lakes; Walden pond
was duly made Lake" Walden. 1t
is about a mile south of Concord and
must look as Thoreau used to see it,
remarks the New York Times.
The scenery of Walden is on hum
bic scale, and, although very beauti-
full, does not approach to grandeur,
nor can it much concern one who has
not long frequented 1t or lived by it's
shore; yet this pond IS so remarkable
for its depth and purity as to merit a
particular description. 1t is clear
and deep green well. half a mile long
and a mile and three-quarters in cir
cumference, and contains about 61R
acres; perennial spring in the midst
OF pine and oak woods, without any
visible inlet or outlet except by the
clouds and evaporation. The surround
ing hills rise abruptly from the water
to the height Of 40 to 80 feet, though
on the southeast and east they attain
to about $50 feet respectively within
quarter and third Of mile. They
are exclusively woodland.

YOUNG GIRLS DARING CLIMB
Memory Of Heroic Deed Has Been
Treasured for Years in Little
English Village.

A daring climb was accomplished at
Repton, in Lancashire, England, some
years ago, the exploit being kept in
memory by frayed fragment of cord
that used to dangle from the cross
surmounting the lofty spire OF the
village church, and which was known
locally as Little Bessies Rope" Bes-
sic was the daughter of Repton
steeplejack who one day, in a spirit
CT bravado and in order to win bet
OF few shillings, undertook to climb
to the top of the spire and there don
suit of clothes with which he had
been presented.
True to his word, he fixed his lad
ders on the day appointed and
climbed by their aid as far as the
bottom of the big copper ball which
upheld the cross. Over one arm of
the cross he then lassoed a rope,
up which he climbed, and afterward
proceeded to don the clothes. Next
standing upright, he started to throw
into the air, one by one, his old gar
ments. Suddenly, however, there was
cry of alright from above, followed
my great hush below. The foolish
fellow had somehow managed tC
loosen the rope, his sole connecting
| link with terra tirma, and it slipped
down and hung suspended from th'
| topmost ladder, 30 feet below. Two
or three men moved hesitatingly TO
ward the church, but child-womaT
of sixteen, his daughter, was there
first.
Rung by rung she mounted unit
she looked no bigger than doll. Then
after three failures, clingnig mean
while by one hand-and that one the
left-she succeeded in throwing the
noosed cord over the cross once more

FOUNDER OF SUNDAY SCHOOL
Robert Raikes, to Whom Honor Is Gen.
orally Given, Said to Have
Borrowed the Idea.

Robert Raikes of Gloucester is often
set down as the founder of the Sunday
school, writes an English correspond
ent, but nothing is heard of Emmanuel
Twynning, the shepherd of Maggie
Bottom, SheepScombe, Worcestershire.
from whom Raikes got his idea. Mag
pie Bottom is a beautiful crinkle at
the edge of the Sheepscombe, where
the lane departs down the valley, at last
reaching Worcestershire The young
man must have been up here to take
service. AT any rate, as he went
by Maggie Bottom there was Shepherd
Emmanuel Twynning in that thyme
scented little paradise, with ring of
children round him, explaining perhaps
pastoral parallels of the New Testa-
ment. Master Bob Raikes stopped,
perhaps joined in a hymn ana talked
to the shepherd, asking him how he
went on" when the weather was not
so favorable. He was told that on
wet days some handy cottage shell
tered the class, and that, come wet or
fine, there was class every Sunday.
During the walk back to Gloucester
the thought took root and, without
the thyme and the marjoram and the
inconsequent chirruping of grasshop-
pers, Robert took up his shepherdng

'Ts tobacco going to have Its scalp

The writer reaches the conclusion

the subject OF tobacco following the
success of the drive for prohibition
Of liquor the efforts of reformers seek
ing to abolish tobacco have no general
support. This opinion is based on the
results of the questionnaires on the
subject sent out to newspaper editors

Company of New York City.
The questions asked were:
Q) Do you favor the enactment OF
laws prohibiting the personal use Of

When LYING Hurts the Liar.

The most misunderstood form of ~
ing is that known as "mythomania."
In 1t the person who tells the false
hood does so without purpose, and
sometimes with injury to himself. 1t
develops from the fable-making Of
childhood and, unless corrected early,
will work great harm in ones life.
There have been cases Of mytho-
mania In adults that have baffied the
best detectives. The victim has told
things about himself that might be
highly discriminating, and when ques-
toned made use of his quick presence
of mind to strengthen the circum-
stantial evidence against himself.
This mental disease often works
harm upon others who are as innocent
as the mythomaniac himself though
he Is as prone TO tell fiattering lies of
himself-Popular Science Monthly.

Twenty Inches for Food Crop.
"For instance, it takes about twenty
inches of rainfall to grow a food crop
under our general farming methods
which means about $3.50 tons of
water to the acre. That seems a pre-
posterous figure, but the doubter can
easily demonstrate its correctness
Suppose the American farmer had to
haul the water his ground must have
to give him u good crop. and that the
distance and freight rate were the
same as the average railroad haul
and rate in the United States. On that
basis it would cost him more than

But not only would his water bill

sum. It Is estimated that in the proc

From this it will be seen that the
