Nation Without LANGUAGE

One of the strangest things to be
found among the nations of the world
is the fact that Switzerland has no
language OF its own. The official Ian
guages of Switzerland are French, Ital-
ian and German. all three being rec
ognized as the mother tongue" of the
majority of the inhabitants.
A majority Of the people speak Ger
man, while the others use French and
Italian, varying as a rule according to
the proximity of the people to each
country whose tongue they speak.
Public documents and notices are
printed in both the French and Ger
man languages.
In the Swiss national parliament the
members make their speeches either in
French or German, the members being
as familiar with one language as the
other
Statements from the President OF
Switzerland are furnished to the news
papers in both languages.

Rents Hioh in Stone Ane

Southern California had apartment
profteers back In the fourteenth and
fifteenth centuries, according to a
scientific correspondent whose inves-
tigatiOn of the stone age dwellings,
hewn out of solid rock, has convinced
him that keeping up an apartment
never was snap At the entrance
to one Six-apartment cavern he found
hierOglyphics, which he has deciph-
cred to mean the rates for apart
ments as follows:
One abalone, one sun.
Two abalones, two suns.
Three abalones. three suns.
Twelve abaloneS, one moon.
Our correspondent figures that the
home hunters among the Pimugna
Indians had to pay at the rate of one
abalone a sleep, or day, or - abalOnes
per lunar month. The cave was the
largest ON the island and comprised
the apartment house de luxe of that
period. A short distance below the
entrance TO the stone apartment house
the professor found a huge pile of
empty abalone shells, proving that the
landlord did more or less rushing
business.

WRITER MUST HAVE STYLE
He Will Be Unable to Get His
Message Understood.

You cannot have good matter with
bad style. Examine the point more
closely. A man wishes to convey a
fine idea 10 you. He employs a form
of words. That form of words is his
style. Having read, you say: Yes
this idea is fine" The writer has
therefore achieved his end. But in
what imaginable circumstances can
you say. Eyes, this idea is fine but
the style is not finer" The sole me

SNAGS IN LIES CURRENT
Are Something That 1t Is the Part of
Wisdom for All Of Us
to Avoid

A young woman in a rage with her
tiance for some apparently ineXcusabe
oversight, exclaimed: ~ never can for
give him--neverr Her grandmother,
sitting near, looked up from her knit
ting. II felt the same way one day
nearly 80 years ago" she said quietly
To-day | cannot recall what it was
could not forgive, but the emptiness Of
life that resulted is still in my mind.
Don't get hung up on snag in the
stream, my dear. Snags alone are not
so dangerous-it's the debris that
clings to them that makes the trouble.
Pull yourself loose and go on"
In our judgment we must first get
rid of the eternal self; we must learn
to look at the fault wholly in its rela-
ton to the person to whom it belongs
not In its relation TO ourselves. None
of us Is created perfect, and few-if
any-attain perfection. The most we
can attain is a perfect understanding
of this fact and a Self-cOntrol that will
enable us to pull loose from the snag
and go on with the main stream of the
life which in other respects is in har-
mony with ours; not stay hung up, EN-
phasiZing the snag and giving it more
weight than the stream itself. To be
able to ignore is often the most saw
ing Of grace.-Anne Shannon Monroe

HOW To SELECT
THE GOOD LAYERS

In culling the farm flock, the first
point to examine on the hen, is the
head. a good layer will have a full,
bullying eye that looks straight out,
and not across her nose, and a short
curved beak. In the yellow skinned
breeds the beak will be bleached
white after six to eight weeks laying,
depending on the size of the hen; a
big hen bleaching slower than a
small one. Good layers will have
reasonably long wattles of fine tex
ture. The comb will be of fair size
for the breed. as a small comb with
thin points, or a thick beefy comb is
not good sign.
The next point to be examined is
the capacity of the hen. The body
should be long, deepening slightly
toward the rear. A Minorca ac-
quires capacity chiefly through
length of body; Wyandottes chiefly
through depth, and Leghorns by a
combination of length and depth.
The breast bone should be long,
reaching well toward the rear. The
depth of a good layer, in full lay,
among the smaller breeds, will be
four fingers (three inches) or better,
from the end of the breast bone to
the pelvic bones. In the larger
breeds this distance may vary from
two and one-half to four fingers, the
greater distance usually indicating
greater egg production. The pelvic
bones themselves should be reason
ably thin, straight and pliable.
Another test that may be applet
to the yellow skinned breeds is The
color test. Pullets should begin with
yellow beak, yellow vent and yellow
legs, the yellower the better. In five
to eight weeks it will have faded
from the beak, disappearing from the
head toward the end of the beak In
five to seven months of good laying
the color will be faded from the
shanks. If the hen rests the color
will come back in the same order in
which it left. A yellow band around
the beak indicates a rest period and
yellow face or vent indicates that
the hen is not laying.

NATURE FOND OF FREAKS
Coed Old Dame Seems TO Take Pride
In Perpetuatlna Physical oddi-
ties In Mankind.

Occasionally II happens that a boy
or girl is born with wehhed feet
that is to say, with toes united by
fieshy tissues. II is phenomenon
called "syndactyly."
This eccentricity is apt to be hand
ed down from generation to genera
ton in a family, appearing IN some of
its members. but not in others.
The Magazine Of Heredity de-
scribes one such case. In a branch OF
an old New England family. The pa
terna grandfather was web-footed
and bequeathed his peculiar toes to
son, who passed them along to three
of his six children.
If these people were to intermarry
for three or four generations with an
other web-footed family all the chill
iren born would exhibit the peculiar
ity. For nature curiousIy enough.
seems always willing to perpetuate
freaks of any kind
What we call freaks, or sports
in the animal or the vegetable world
are natures little experiments II is
by this means that she creates new
species and varieties. Some anthro-
biologists are of opinion that all hui
man beings were originally black and
that the first white man was a sport
1t might be said that many white
people today respond to that descrip-
ton, though not in the same SENSE

Reason for Sunday.

How did Sunday become the first
day of the week instead Of the seventh?
The Sabbath OF the Jews was the
seventh day of the week, the day of
cessation from work among all He
brews, following six days of labor
aud closing the week. Sunday was
the first day of the week celebrated
IN memory Of the resurrection OF
Christ. 1t is therefore also known as
the Lords day. In the Bible lin Acts
AA., y we are told that the disciples
IN Troas met weekly on the first day
OF the week for eXhortation and the
breaking of bread Justin Martyr said
that Christians gathered then because
II YVES the first day Oh which God made
the world and because Jesus Christ on
the same day arose from the dead.

In slabs Of TriaSSic rock little de-
pressions are often seen that have
been called fossil raiudrops," the idea
being that they were formed by show
ers on muddy sea beaches, and pre-
served 10y being covered with a layer
Of mud at the next high tide.
But lately it has been suggested. in
view of observations on a flood plain
in the Dorm valley that the supposed
impressions Of rain drops may really
be due To pittings formed by bubbles
in film of mud at the bottom of shall
low water. There have been watched
the formation of many pittings, and
It has been found that after the mud
mas dried they exactly resemble "fos-
sill raindrops"

Has Had Ten Capitals.

North Carolina has had at least ten
capitals including Bath, Edenton.
Brunswick, Wilmington, Newberry,
Hiilsboro, Smithfeld. Fayette and
Raleigh. The reason for so many lay
in the custom prior to 1901 of trans.
ferring the seat of government to the
place Of residence of the governor or
The temporary meeting place Cf the
assembly.
In 1871 one square mile Of land
was purchased for the foundation of
Raleigh as the permanent seat of gov
eminent. At present the city covers
four square miles.
