DEGREES and Rank.

The two degrees, D. D., and Ii. D.,
are quite different. The first is doc
tor Of divinity, that is, person
learned in those subjects that form
the education Of O divine or theolo-
gian. The second, LID, is doctor of
laws, the two LIS being the plural
form where initials are used. This
degree is, or should be conferred upon
those deeply learned in the subjects
that make up higher education and
culture-in languages, literature, sci
ence and philosophy. The former de-
gree is only conferred upon ministers
of religion, the latter upon both min
listers and laymen. The ranks in the
British peerage, ascending, are: Baron,
viscount, earl, marquis, duke. Ex-
officio. a Latin term, from office, that
is by virtue Of his Office, means that
by reason of a person holding GER
tain office he also holds certain other
Offices or performs certain other func-
tions. For example, the rector of a
parish is ex-officio, that is because he
is rector, chairman of a meeting Of
the yestry, or congregation.-Montreal

People of the World.

The total population of the earth
is .e99,0OO,000, according to the latest
edition of the Gotha Hofkalender. The
1919 estimate was 1,646,0O0,000. The
eastern hemisphere, including Europe,
Africa, Asia and Australia, has 1,494,-
100000 people, while the Western hem
isphere-the Americas-has a popu-
larion of 205,000,000.
The average density of population
Of the earth is 2S.5 per square mile.
while Australia is most sparsely set
tled-245 people per square mile. In
North America the average population
per square mile is 15.
The greatest uncertainty exists as
to the population Of Persia, Abyssinia
and the Congo, estimates differing from
100000 to 100000, 100000 to 12,-
100000 and from 100000 to 10000
900 respectively, so that the total diff
ference between the lowest and high
est estimates is 100000. That diff
ference is insignificant compared with
a total population Of nearly 100000
900.

Pointer for the Housewife.

The woman who reduces herself to
a frazzle and her family to nervous
wrecks does it by trying to do each
separate piece Of work to perfection.
We all like a perfectly appointed
household, but it is vastly more impor-
tant that a home should be comfort
able, where the family likes to gather,
than that no grain Of dust should ever
be seen. Housework, done right, is
more healthful than almost any other
work. Making beds is an excellent eX-
ercise for sluggish liver, but don't
forget that a tired housewife may be
rested and refreshed by a brisk walk
in the fresh air. Fatigue is often
caused from bad air, and with the
lungs filled with pure air the body is
able to throw off the poisons.
Pick out the important things to be
done daily and do them, reserving
time and strength for these things.
The important thing is meals. They
mean more to the family than any
thing else, as they are the fuel which
keeps you going.-Exchange.

CRUSHED BY TURKS
Invaders. Heel Trod Heavily on
Town of Aintab.
Americans Are BusiIy at Work Help
ing to Rebuild Once Prosperous
Little City in Eastern Syria.

Clustering red-tiled roofs, white stuc-
coed walls, the fresh green of grace
full poplars, and minarets rising here
and there in slender beanty-this is
the picture greeting the visitor ap-
preaching through the mountains rim
ming 1t about, the once important town
of Aintab, which nestles at the foot
of Mount Taurus on the eastern coast
of Syria, says the Christian Science
Monitor.
Aintab was not only beautiful, but
prosperous in those days before the
Turk invaded the land, swept it bare
Of it's industry, scattered its people to
the four corners Of the earth, and de-
ported them inland to the desert or
outward to the fringe of seacoast.
Today, however, as one approaches
more closely to the town, one sees that
there are gaps in the rows of white
succeed houses, that many Of those
picturesque red-tiled roofs are falling
In, that many of the houses are empty
and decaying, and that the town which
looked so beautiful from afar is really
a shell, an echo of that once busy,
flourishing Aintab which with its 49,
600 inhabitants, formed an important
link in the caravan route from Con-
stantinople, and was known far anC
wide for its trade in fooled leather
and its great cattle market.
When the first party of Americans
from the Near East relief reached Aim
tab after the Turkish military had
swept on its devastating course, the
wanderers, hearing that help was to
be had, began to come struggling back.
They must be fed and housed, their
homes remade, schools rebuilt for their
children, and places must be provided
for the little ones left homeless.
Promptly the work was begun and
took on at once twofold significance;
not only did it furnish employment
for the workmen, but also shelter for
their families. The women found en-
ployment in weaving, and turned the
weol, which is plentiful in Syria, into
fabrics much needed by those who
had lost all their possessions, includ-
ing clothing. Some of them woye rugs,
and a ready market was found for
them, often among the American relief
workers.
Slowly but surely Aintab is coming
into her own once more. New Armen~
ian houses are beginning to rise from
the ashes of the old; refugees are
pouring back from desert and noun
tains and the shore of the sea. And
once more the cries of merchants re-
sound as they call their wares, their
rags and scraps of household COM
modities, in the bazaar in the center
of the town.

MIR. Williams of Public Wei
fare Board Visits Institution
For Blind.

The Columbia Association for the
Blind, which maintains home and
workshop for the blind at the cor
ner of. Calhoun and Bull streets, was
visited recently by G. Croft Will
liams, secretary of the state board of
public welfare. Mr.. Williams points
out some dire needs of this institu-
tion, chief among them being the
fact that the building occupied by the
association is not suited to the needs
of the blind folk.
"The Association for the Blind
seeks to teach the adult blind how
to make fibre furniture, baskets and
ornaments with the purpose of CIV
ing these handicapped folk trade
and also of furnishing them remun-
erative employment. The organiza-
ton is under the control of eight dl-
rectors, of whom Christopher Atkin-
son is chairman. The staff is COM
posed of one superintendent, one ma
tron, one secretary, one helper and
one financial agent, all of whom are
blind, with the exception of the fl
nancial agent and helper" says the
report.
"This institution was opened Sep
tember 27, 1920, and now has 12 in
mates, nine of whom live at the
home. All Of them are totally blind.
The building occupied is an old resi-
dence, not at all suited to the needs
of this work. In the basement there
are four rooms in which the industry
is carried on. The basement is damp
and has poor ventilation. Beside
there is not sufficient sunlight, and
blind people need sunlight as well as
any others. The first floor contains
the office, dining room, the kitchen,
the bath room, the superintendent's

Oil Prospects in Australia.

Analyses of petroleum gas at Roma,
Queensland, have been made which
show it to be considerably richer than
the gas from most petroleum wells.
Using American standards of pressure
and temperature in absorption tests,
it is estimated that the Roma gas
will yield pints of petrol per 1000
cubic feet. The mines department
has decided to continue boring below
the gas strata, in the belief that oil
will be found. Difficulty in obtaining
casing is delaying further boring at
Marburg. Queensland. The bore is
now over 400 feet down, penetrating
sandstones and shales which contain
productive coal measures, while tests
Of a sample of the sludge from the
bottom of the bore reveal small per,
centage of oil.

bed room and parlor. These rooms
all appear to be fairly well kept, con-
sidering the fact that only blind per-
sons have to care for them. The sec
retary of the state board of public
welfare found that dining table set
for supper and it was clean and ade-
quately furnished with table ware.
"The second floor contains three
bed rooms, two of which are for wo-
men inmates and the third for a man
and his wife, who are blind and who
are employed in the institution.
These rooms are adequately furnish
ed with beds and are we'll ventilated
and receive the sunlight.
"The back yard was unkept and ex-
tremely unsightly. Then toe, water
had settled under the back porch,
which smelled mouldy. This back
yard is unsanitary and will be men
ace to health unless it is cleaned up.
The toilet and bathing facilities of
the house are inadequate, there being
onlv one bath room and toilet. The
stairs are irregular and dangerous.
"The institution receives blind per-
sons who are unskilled in weaving
and teaches them how to make fur
niture. It is remarkable how rapidly
they attain proficiency in this trade.
After six months an ordinary work
er should make about S12 a week, an
especially deft person can make
about SIT. AS the board at the home
is inexpensive, blind person can
make living at this institution.
sThe inmates seem very happy,
both in their employment and in
keeping one another's company. The
institution is worthy of public sup
port and to receive the assistance OF
all who desire to make happy, helpful
citizens of persons whom nature has
bereft of sight" THE State.

Love.


A Philadelphia editor was talking
about Anatole France, the famous
French novelist whose serious illness
is reported.
"Anatole France" he said, sis
cynic, a graceful and profound Gym
ic. I once heard him make cynical
speech about love.
Love" he said, encountered
Wisdom on the high road.
"'The girl is beautiful today said
Wisdom, but she will be the image Of
her mother when she gets to be her
mothers age. You, though, of course,
are blind
"Love laughed carelessly.
"oh, no. he said, I simply shan't
be there to see.'"

School for Customers.

attend this school, which is conducted
by experienced statesmen who talk on
a variety Of subjects interesting to

ods of testing different kinds of ma.

MUCH is TOLD BY PROVERBS
Household Sayings Throw Light on
Characteristics of Social Groups
Whence They Emanate.

It is a commonplace to say that
nations moral code is revealed in its
proberbs; but it is less widely recog-
nized that proverbial sayings throw
light also upon the long-standing
economic structure of social group.
A proverb is not an individual obser-
walton; it condenses the experience
of a class, a sex, q caste. A large
number record the accumulated ex-
perience of the small peasant propri-
etor, his. ceaseless labor and petty
saving and screwing. "While the
sheep blates he loses mouthful."
The economics of married life are
often tersely laid bare. "a wooden
mother is better than a golden father"
(Shropshir } must be taken from the
outlook OF a wife who would be
summed up in a national census as
''home worker"
ga rolling stone gathers no moss"
says the wisdom of the staid British
countryman, diligently making the
best of his land by ,long and careful
husbandry. "By going and coming
the bird builds its nest" is the oppo-
site point of view held by Negro
trader travelling backward and for
ward through the African forest.
Bawbees are round and rim away.
A grip O. the grund is guide to hae.
expresses the land-hunger of Scots
man of the old school, mistrusting
"investments" which he cannot see
and handle.
Here is trio from Norway: "a
large stock needs much pasture" "a
cow will not hear that the hay is
dwindling away" "You cannot climb
a mountain by level road" Do they
not sum up certain aspects of the
little farm perched up amid scanty
mountain pastures?
Factory life, a modern growth
everywhere, has not yet left It's mark
upon the proverbial lore Of any coun-
try because it has not yet been fully
assimilated as mode of self-expres-
sion. The proverb is everywhere a
spontaneous growth, for 'shoes alone
know If 'tocking hab hole" as they
say in Jamaica.
