JuhiIant Jubilee.

"Some years ago" says an Ameri-
can who used to live in London,
before Queen Victorias death and,
about the time the queens jubilee
was to be celebrated, there was over
heard this conversation between two
old Scotchwomen on a street corner
Can We tell me, wumman, what is
it they call jubilee?
'Weel. it's this said the other.
When folk has been married twenty
FIVE years, that's silver wuddin' ;
and when they have been married
fifty years, that's a golden wuddin'
But if the mons dead then it's a
Jubilee. "

ANCIENT MARVEL OF EGYPT
Labyrinth Constructed Some $500
Years Ago Was a Structure
of Colossal Size.

King Minos, with his labyrinth On
she island of Crete, is generally SUP
posed to have been the originator Of
the maze idea; but Egypt has a laby.
rinth. too. and Egypt manages to hold
the record for antiquity in almost ev-
erything labyrinths included.
This Egyptian labyrinth is $500
years old. 1t is merely chaotic mass
of rocks piled up in We desert a few
miles out of Medinet. The outlines Of
the walls merge dimly here and there
from the ruins, and from these out
lines, and the carvings on the stones,
Egyptologists deduee that the laby
rinth was built by a certain King
Labarys, who was more popularity
known as Amenemhat III.
The structure was 500 by 600 feet.
1t contained 5000 rooms, half above
ground, half below. Remember that
he largest hotel in our present day
world boasts about that number Of

coming interested in the Muscle
Shoals project. He is negotiating
with the government with the
view of taking it over and COM
pleting it. An ideal site for an

haustable water power and coal

could maintain a line of barges

We are all ignorant, high and
low, great and little, wise and
foolish, educated and umeducated.
Some may know a trifie more than
others; but as compared with the
vast possibilities of knowledge the
difference between ignorances is
too insignificant to be of much
account. Since that is so, it might
be supposed that we should all be
ready to admit our deficiencies, to
acknowledge at once how little we
know and to be only concerned
humbly and patiently to supply
the gaps in our information with
such makeshifts as we may. On
the contrary, it is amazing how
most of us toll and struggle to
conceal our ignorance. No device
seems too petty, nor pretense too
mean, if only we can cover up
from others the fact that we do not
know any more than they do.
Sometimes life appears to be spun
over with a web of artificial cult
ure that has mo solidity and no
permanece.
People seem to think that it in
Jures their authority and stand
ing to admit frankly that they have
made a mistake, that their infor-
nation was incomplete and that
their calculations were incorrect.
Teachers are possessed with this
delusion. Ministers are led es-
tray by it. Statesmen suffer from
it. Parents constantly find that it
vitiates their simple and natural
relations with their children.
They go miles around, evade,
elude, palter and prevaricate, rath-
er than say sight out that they
were wrong. They do not realize
that what Injuries our characters
and our usefulness more than amy
thing else is to make a pretense of
omniscience and have it exposed
as only pretense.
The truth is that nothing Sc
cures the confidence of all mem so
much as the humble, frank, free,
straightforward admission of ig-
norance. The guide we trust is
he who admits that our difficulties
are his difficulties and that, if he
can see just a trifle further, it is
only because he has toiled more
arduously and has not obscured
his vision by any undue assurance
of more ample view. There is moth
ing that we admire more than such
humility in others; nothing that
we are more reluctant to practice
ourselves.
If the majority of us gave half
the effort to remedying our ignor-
ance that we give to concealing it,
we should think more of ourselves,
others would thing more of us, and
the world would be a more prac-
ticable place to live in.-Youth's
Companion.

JURIES COURTS AND JUDGES

Men are losing respect for the
law. Juries have become chicken
hearted, and convictions, where
the facts justify it, are becoming
rare. If a man is so unfortunate
as to get his just deserts in courts
he can take a few hundred dol
lars along with him, and extricate
himself from almost any penal
mess in which he may find him
self. Retribution no longer fol
lows crime. We build up an in
tricate legal system, and tax our
people to run the machinery of
our courts, but justice is not me-
ted out.
The Editor of the Democrat
said something to this effect at the
Deemer picnic ON the Fourth. He
thought the statement strong, and
that his hearers would not sanct-
ion it. To his surprise wave of
response swept over the audience
There were mods Of approval and
words Of encouragement whisper
ed 1t is well that we think over
this serious question. If the pur-
poses Of our courts miscarry and
our laws are wantonly broken or
evaded we shall come to a serious
pass. Men will continue to have
less respect for the law until our
courts become as useless and as
obsolete as some Of the old Latin
pbeadings with which our ancient
practice was encountered.
We have become ali too handy
with our guns. We are more and
more taking the law into our own
hands. Men avenge their wrongs
in person, and lynchings are all
too common. Why? Because men
are losing confidence in the courts
Unless juries do their duty, and
the other officers Of our courts See
that the machinery Of our courts
run smoothly and effectively, and
the abuse of our pardoning board
is not checked, life will be about
the cheapest thing we have in an
other generation. Philadelp
