IS POOR BARGAIN
Foolish Indeed for Man to Sell
Himself to Evil.
Many Have Done Il uneenscieusly,
and Their Reward Has Always
Been Exceedingly Small.

More than one writer has been fas-
cinated by the idea Of selling ones
soul to the devil. Indeed, that thought
has served as the basis Of many
poem and plot.
The idea Is that Of man bargaining
his soul to Satan for all eternity on
condition that for q limited period he
may enjoy all possible pleasure. The
thought is most familiar. perhaps. In
The tragedy Of Faust: but that was
neither the beginning nor the end Of 1t.
You may find the idea In the Ara
bian Nights" and no one knows how
old those roots Of the literature may be.
Balzac. In 1.-THE Magic Skim portrayed

All these authors were honest
enough to show that. In the end, the

much less than the devil is supposed
to offer In any Of these works Of dc-

you are curious, when the bargain with
the devil was made and in what sort
the devil paid.
For the devil pays. Judas got his
80 pieces of silver; Faust had Mar
guerite.
But the devil Is even more prompt
In his collections.
If you do not believe 1t, read the
Bible or the daily papers.
The reward Of sin is death. The
devil gets his due.
But how little does the man get who
sells his soul to the devil DIR. VIII

New Years
in Egypt

MF A group of people were ship
~ wrecked or otherwise cast upon
their own resources and were to lose
track Of the date they would have no
easy means Of finding it again. Our
year is an artificial one. and so must
be made by careful study in well
equipped Observatories. Without pre-.
else instruments 1t would be difiicult
to fix the day when the new year be,
gins.
The ancient Egyptians experienced
no such difficulty. Their year, from
which ours Is derived, had perfectly
natural beginning. 1t always COM
menced on the day when Sirius and
the sun rose together.
The temples Of Egypt were really
observatories, built to face this or that
star as 1t rose. They were more or
less elaborate. but all had as their
fundamental plan q long narrow pas
sage down which the stars rays came.
and a dark chamber at the far end
where the priest made the obserya-
ton and where the image was kept.
The beginning Of the new year was
an important event. We can picture
the scene asSthe priests. followed by
the scrlbes, lawyers, merchants, and
the curious crowd. wind their way up
to the temple in the first streaks of
dawn, and take their appointed places.
AS daylight comes on the interest Of
everyone Is centered on two groups.
The priests on the roof are strain
ing their eyes for the first glimpse Of
the coming sun. while those down In
the dark chamber are watching for
Sirius. Soldiers are stationed around
and to prevent stragglers from cross
ing the path Of the stars rays In front
Of the temple door at the critical
moment.
A shout bursts from those ON the
roof as the sun tops the horizon. The
observers below watch their water
clocks carefully now as the minutes
are told OF. and strain their eyes at
the narrow opening where Sirius Is to
shine. In few moments Sirius itself
flashes into view. and the new year
has begun.
The Egyptians discovered that the
year has an extra quarter Of day in
1t. They did 1t by noting that on some
years Sirius and the sun rose almost
together. while on others there was an
appreciable difference In time. and that
these changes repeated themselves
every Ave years. They found the
length Of the year to within II minutes
Of its true value. which was a remark
able thing to do with the primitive APP
pliances they had at hand.

Restoring Black Walnut

In an effort to restore the black wal
nut $50 bushels Of seed have recently
been planted at Mont Alto. Pa. and
next spring it Is expected that fully
100000 seedlings win be available for
replanting In groves In various parts
of the state.
It is not difficult to start a walnut
plantation. says the American For
estry Magazine, and It cites the case
of an Indian farmer In the Far West.
who. few years ago, after an excep-
tionally heavy seed year. drove his
wagon down to the Wabash bottoms
and shoyeled 1t full Of nuts and litter.
Then going up to his field he spread
the nuts from the tail Of the cart on
the frozen ground In the same way
manure Is spread. In the spring when
the frost was coming out Of the
ground and the soil was soft he had
his boys take wooden mallets and go
out and pound into the soil every nut
they could see. 1t Is reported that he
has an excellent young grove at the
present time.

But it is the actual accomplishment
of American workers of the Near

NEW TERRITORY IS

elk THOUSAND ACRES IN THRAcE
ARE RENTED BY NEAR
EAST RELIEF

Six thousand acres of the richest
farming land in the historic region of
Thrace has been rented from the
Greek Government by the Near East
Relief, Americas official organization,
chartered by Congress, for carrying
ON relief work in the Near East, as a
homeland for one thousand destitute
Armenian refugees, dependent on the
resources of the American charity.
American money has provided the
land, the American flag flies over it
and American machinery is to till 1t
And this last means the economic re.
generation Of the people and the
country.

ing, carpentering, tailoring, dress

The same plan is said by these
workers to have been followed with
considerable success in the admin
istering of general relief. Because
it was found that the indiscrimin-
ate distributions of money and food
tended to make permanent beggars
of those that received this form of
relief. industrial shops have opened
where employment is given to those
In need. The products of these
shops are either sold or used in
caring for the orphans and adult
refugees.
Though such methods cannot be
adopted in relieving such, wide
spread suffering as now exists in
Armenia and elsewhere in the Cau-
casus, where famine conditions and
accompanying disease are reported
to be causing the death of thous-
ands, they have been found to be
practicable in regions where the
suffering is not so acute or wide
spread and have resulted in the
saving of a large amount of money,
which it has been possible to apply
to an extension of necessary relief
activities.
