The Older Authors,

The greater part of our modern Ut
erature bears evident marks Of the
haste which characterizes all the move
ments Of this age; but in reading these
older authors we, are impressed with
the idea that they enjoyed the most
comfortable leisure. Many books we
Gun read in railroad car and feel q
harmony between the rushing OF the
train and the haste of the author but
to enjoy the older authors we need the
quiet of winter evening-an easy
chair before a cheerful fire, and all the
equanimity we can command. linen
the genial good nature, the rich fuil-
ness, the persuasive eloquence of those
old masters will fall upon US like the
warm, glad sunshine. The pages OF
friendly old Goldsmith come to us like
a golden autumn day, when every oD-
ject which meets the eye bears all the
impress of the completed year and the
beauties Of an autumnal forest

Beautiful Niuht Flower,

The most glorious of all the night
blooming flowers common to the gar
den is the moonfower, a climber The
blossoms, each like mammoth saucer,
are produced in great numbers and un-
fold their tightly twisted petals in late
afternoon, even before darkness falls:
1t is a delightful experience to watch
them open, for the transformation is
effected so rapidly that change from
tight bud to full bloom flower takes
place in a few moments. AS the petals
open, the sweetness Of the flavor is
thrown upon the air and attracts even
from a long distance night-fying
moth, the only creature which is able
to reach the bottom of the deep cup
wherein the nectar is secreted. This
moth has tongue which rolls up like q
spring, and when it is uncoiled meas
ures six inches. Other insects may
search for the sweets which the flower
contains, but this one alone is provid-
ed with a tongue which can find it,

Baltic ReveI.

In the Baltic countries the Eve OF
st. John is festival that goes back
further into time than the celebration
of the day in honor of the saint whose
name it bears, for st. Johns day is
also Midsummer day, and on that
night over wide stretches of country
1t is the immemorial custom of peas
ants, gathering together in little com.
panies, to light beacons ON the hilltops
and to celebrate far into the morning
With feasting and dancing. In Livonia
there is but little night in midsum
.fner, and here the peasants hold theil
revel at midnight, lighting great fires
on hilltops that fare their signal tt
Others lighted on hill crests for miles
about. Under the glare the peasants
gather. They challenge one another
to sing. With torches they light the
topmost branches of birch trees tha
set up higher beacons than any in the
countryside. When the dancing is
over great feasts are held, and wher
rmorning comes the crowds go singin.

Iife,s Various Windows.

Through one Of life's windows we
view the broad fields Of literature. Its
various forms and multitudinous con-
tent present a surging mass hard to
interpret. But once learn to follow
with the mental eye the threads woven
into life's intricate web and new
worlds come within the range Of vision
Like stages peopled with actors litera
ture reveals the hopes and disappoint
ments,. the inspirations and the de
spairs of myriad lives. And when W.
see through the window we wonder
how it is so few learn to enjoy th'
varied scenes constantly passing an(
piping for eyes to see. AS we see tn

of nations to undertake to set up sim
liar machinery to perform tasks al
ready being performed by the League
of Nations seems unnecessarily to du-
plicate effort and to open the way to
friction and delay.
The present arms conference may
determine the fate of Mr.. Harding's
projected association. If the confer
ence fail there can be no hope for the
Association, since it would be but a
continuance of the conference plan
and principle. If the conference sue
ceed, as is hoped, Mr.. Harding's plan
will have basis from which to start.
In any event, the international con-
sciousness, set afame by Mr.. Wilson's
vision and labor, is here to stay.
Whether we shall directly satisfy it or
blunder iabout in the dark until we
strike the only forward path is point
to be determined by our national in
telligence and by the action of our
statesman either in expressing that
intelligence or thwarting it.

There was something almost uncan-
ny about Sir Walter Scott's power to
attract and hold in friendship both man
and beast. Lockhart, in his biography

had taken "a most sentimental attach
ment to Scott and was constantly urg'

on the part of an affectionate hen.'
And he goes on to tell of couple O
donkeys which left pastures to la!
their noses over the paling whenever
the lord approached.

Daysnan.


Daysman is an old and peculiar term
for an umpire, one empowered by mu.
tual consent to argue and decide q
cause between two parties. 1t mas
been suggested that one was called a
daysman because his presence was re.
quired in court at the day appointed
Edmund Spenser, who lived in the
reign Of Queen Elizabeth, uses the
word in the sense Of umpire or arbitra'
tor, but he spells it dayesman. The
translators of Jour authorized version
Of the Bible use the word in this sense
in job 8 :33s3 :33 "Neither Is. there any
daysman between us, that might lay
his hand upon US both"

Shoes Worn BY Chinese Women.

Many young Chinese women have
adopted western shoes, but those who
grew up in the days before foot bind
ing was forbidden still wear the tiny,
resplendently embroidered shoes that
have no counterpart in all the world
Roughly, these shoes are of two types
one, which has a fair-sized heel made
on the shoe for outdoor wear; and an
other, which has no heel, for indoor
use. The latter, however, may be
fitted with loose heel held in posi-
ton by tapes If the lady wishes to
walk abroad.

The Monkey Gland.
F. p. HILBURN.

A farmer had an old gray mare
That would not stretch her traces,
A surgeon and monkey gland,
And now she's in the races.
His COW would have pint. of milk
In her old fiabby udder,
But since he used the monkey gland
She makes nine pounds of butter.
He used to have TO feed his hogs
For every pound of bacon,
But since he's using monkey glands,
They climb the trees for acorns.
The story I must now relate,
Beats the tale of Jonah's gourd;
His son went out one morning,
And put one in his Ford.
And when the farmer went to town,
He almost lost command,
His fliver skipped and whirled arount
And bucked to beat the band!
And he had to keep the brake on,
And shut OH all the power,
Aud the trip that used to take day
He made in half an hour.
And why the son kept laughing
He could not understand,
Until the son removed the hood
And showed the monkey gland.
Now since wrote, you understand,
That farmer came to town,
And l have this at first hand,
And am free to write it down.
s'For," holding up his horny hand,
He said, "you may tell the world
ssIf she had another monkey gland
-"That fliver would catch squirrell
And since I've written all this stuff,
I think-in fact, know it,
IT'D have had monkey gland,
I might have been a poet.

head and their feet, natural eyapora'
