Ancient NavIaators.

The origin of the art of navigation is lost in antiquity, but 1t Is known that 1t was practiced with consider able skill by the ancient Egyptians and the Phoeniclans. From the be- ginning of the historic period Tyre was the chief city of the Phoenlclans. and the enterprise of that people was, from their situation, specially direct cd to the sea, and they pushed their commerce on 1t with n spirit and dar- ing which, considering their opportu- mites has never been surpassed. They are the first who are known to have steered by the observation of the stars, and who couldsthus venture out to seu. They ultimately adopted two distinct kinds of vessels the gaulos or merchant vessel, with a deep hold adapted for storage, and the trireme or ship of war.

City LaraeIx Built on PlIes.

A considerable rart of the founda- tions of the city uI Venice rests on piles that were driven ..lto the muddy shallows of the Adrin lc more than 1000 years ago. The tallest structure of the city for many years was the campanile or bell tower of St. Marks cathedral. It was a massive structure of brick which rose to a height of BPS feet, and the piles for its foundation were driven in the year STA. The first campanile was built in 900. In 1929 the foundation was enlarged by driv- ing more piles, and the tower was re- built. In 1512 an earthquake brought 1t tumbling down, but new campanile was immediately erected. This fell July IA, 1902, owing to the gradual failure of the foundation. New piles were then driven and a new campanile was erected in 1905 on a reinforced concrete foundation.

GREAT POET TRUE GENTLEMAN
carIyIe's Pen Portrait Of Schiller Among Finest of the Tributes
 Paid to Him.

In his dress and manner, as in all things, he was plain and unaffected. Among strangers, something shy and retiring might occasionally be ob- served in him: in his own family, or among his select friends, he was kind hearted, free, and gay as a little child. In public, his external appearance had nothing In 1t to strike or attract. Of an unpresuming aspect, wearing plain apparel, his looks as he walked were constantly bent on the ground; so that frequently, as we are told, "he failed to notice the saiutation of a passing acquaintance; but if he heard it, he would catch hastily at his hat and give his cordial 'Guten Tag" Modesty, simplicity, total want of all parade or affectation were conspicuous in him. These are the usual concomi- tants of true greatness, and serve to mitigate its splendor. Common things he did as a common man. His con- duct In such matters was uncalculated, spontaneous; and therefore natural and pleasing-Thomas Carlyle.

Plants That Mimic Stones.

In South Africa plant of the genus Mesembryanthemum, growing on stony ground, so closely resembles a pebble for a stone. Another species of the same plant. growing on the hills around the Karru, produces two leaves about as large as ducks eggs, having a surface resembling weath- cred stone, of d brownish-gray color tinged with green. These plants look like stones, but for q short time they put forth bright yellow flowers. Still another species of the same plant re- sembles the quartz pebbles among which It grows.

QUALITIES THAT WIN SUCCESS
Probably the Greatest Among Them Is That Subtle Something We
 Know as Personality.

It takes more than mental ability to make a man and more than the qualities that are supposed to make for success itself. It is not so much what a man knows, or his ability in applying 1t, as 1t Is in what he is himself.
 There turks in some human beingss in overflowing measure, that subtle something termed personality which is likely to carry them much farther than anything else. Probably charac- ter, courage and dependability are the three great assets. Theodore Roosevelt in his own biography writes of the two kinds of success, the one being the result of natural gifts, the other being acquired slowly, and adds: "I need hardly say that all the successes I have ever won have been of the second type. I never won any thing without hard labor and the ex- ercise of my best judgment and care full planning and working long in ad- vance. I was as young man at first both nervous, and distrustful of my own prowess. I had to train myself painfully and laboriously not merely as regards my body, but as regards my soul and my spirit.

When Kissing Was Illegal.

Laws against kissing still exist in America, which produces most of the films from which the Japanese cen sors last year cut out 10000 feet of kissing scenes, observes London Tit Bits.
 Not many years ago a student of Yale university and his sweetheart were arrested for the crime of kissing In a Boston restaurant. They were sentenced to 15 days Imprisonment, the magistrate relying on one of the 'blue laws" passed in the Seventeenth century, when Massachusetts was a British colony.
 Under these laws many men were fined or put In the stocks for kissing their wives in public, such conduct be- ing penalized as "lewd and unseemly | behavior"
 The only measure of this kind ever enforced in England was of a tenn porary nature. In 1439 an act of par liament was passed prohibiting kiss ing, owing to the pestilence raging over England and France.

White-haired Uncle Peleg Perkins, known as the oldest person in his community, was standing by his gate when a touring car stopped close be- hind him. Several of the ladies in 1t asked numerous patronizing questions concerning the locality. Then one of them remarked:

FEET MOST ABUSED MEMBERS
According to English Writer, Only About one-Third of Humanity
 Walk In Natural Manner.

The human foot is one of the most beautiful and useful instruments ever conceived, but, unfortunately, 1t Is not what a motorist calls "foolproof."
 There Is a great deal of misunder- standing about our feet We treat them outrageously, as either custom or fash ion may dictate. AS a result about one-third of the population is splay- footed, another third walks like a hen on hot cinders, and the remaining third may be said to walk fairly nat ural.
 The foot has a graceful arch rum ming fore and aft. We take this longi- tudinal arch, turn the toes outward so that the heels meet at an angle Of 45 degrees, and then put all our pres sure in a skew direction across the arch. No railway engineer would dream of building a straight arch bridge to carry loads neither across nor along the arch, but irregularly askew over It.
 We ought to walk with our great toe pointed straight in the direction of progress, as Indian runners do, and ''spring from the great toe" Instead, most of us take ofr' in a numbering sort of way from the ball of the great toe.
 The arch of the foot is supported largely by the tendon which runs un- der the foot to the great toe Itself, and this neglect of use renders thls ten- don weak and lax and causes depres- sion of the arch. The best care for weak arch is the practice of raising ones self upon the great toe, that is, doing as a penalty exercise what you should have done all along naturally. If you will try when walking to keep the feet straight and 10 end each stride with a little spring" ofr each big toe alternately, you will be re- warded by finding that progress seems easier, quicker and more buoyant.- London Daily News.

TRULY OPTIMISM HAS LIMIT
Josh SmiIer Met Days Many Adversl- ties With a Smile, but There Are
 Some Things!

"Ha, Ina, hal" laughed Joshua Smil- CT. "It's Friday, the thirteenth. Good job I'm not superstitious, otherwise l should be miserable all day todayw
 Smiling happily, Josh dropped his collar stud. Nevertheless, after half an hours search he found 1t again, and continued dressing.
 "Oh, Josh," said Mrs. Smiler at breakfast, "the pedal broke off my sew ing machine yesterdayI"
 That's unfortunate" said Smiler. "But never mind, dear, I'll bring you back a motor this evening, and you'll be able to run the machine on that"
 It started to rain just as Smiler pre- pared to leave the house.
 My umbrella, dear?" he said to his wife.
 "Oh, Josh," she cried, q forgot to tell you, some one stole your umbrella from the hall yesterdayW
 "Oh, well," answered Smiler, "It had a hole in 1t, anyway" And he stepped out briskly through the shower.
 Other little things, which many men would foolishly have allowed to dis turb them, did happen to Smiler that day, but he did not grumble until re- turning home In the train he pulled out his fountain pen to jot down a brilliant idea that had occurred to him.

ALBERT C. RICHIE,
Autos Kill More Than Railroads.

Automobile accidents in the United
States claimed i474 more victims in 1919
than were killed in accidents on American
railways, according to comparative figures
compiled by the Southern Railway system
from official reports.
Death from automobile accidents showed
a total of 1859. an increase Of 444 over
1918. representing an area about 80 per
cent of the country's total population.
Sixty-six Of the large cities had 3.S08
deaths from automobile accidents.
In railway accidents the report of the
Interstate Commerce Commission shows
that CABS persons were killed. this figure
being lower than for any previous year
since 1898. when the number Of persons
using the railways and employed on them
was much smaller than in 1919. In the
total for 1919 are included 2,553 trespass-
ers and 1882 other persons, Of whom
large percentage were the victims Of coils
ions between automobiles and railway
trains.
These figures show that the persistent
effort of the railways TO eliminate acct
dents has been productive Of splendid re-
suits 10 decreased casualties.

LOWER OPERATING COSTS

The big problem confronting the bust
ness farmer today is How can lower my
operating costs ?"
To this there is only one answer Power
Farming. You or your father answered
1t the same way when the scythe was dis
carded for the mower and reaper.
Two years ago you did not have to an
swer this question because you could make
money no matter how expensive the old
methods. But next years crop costs will
have to be figured on an efficient production
basis, the same as any other manufac-
turer. Samson power points the way out.
The Samson Model IN" tractor, by dis
placing horses, saving feed and other ex-
penses. as well as hired belt work for silo
filling, threshing, etc., will pay for itself
the first year. Ii will give you not only q
better and easier means Of doing your
work but it will cut down your cost of pro.
duction the same as it has that of YOU

Nearly two hundred thousand farmers
have purchased tractors during the past
year and through use of this power, which
is less costly than horse power, have saveC
money. time and labor. The tractor will
do for you what ii has done for them.
Your business rests with you. 1t is a
question Of profit or loss. You, as a bust
ness farmer. can not afford to operate a

A great increase in the value of farm
property in Maryland during the past 10
years is shown by figures made public
last Saturday by the Bureau of the Census.

as $463,69S.120. In 1910 this value was
only $286.167.028.
The velue of Maryland farm lands last
year was $3.50. ,047, compared with
a land value of $163.451,614 in 1910.

The census shows that the white farm
ers far outnumber the colored in the State.
Last year 1889 white farmers reported
to the census as against 5000 colored
farmers Nearly one-third of the total
number Of farms. it is also shown. are of
20 acres or less. although the State has
SO farms, operated by white owners, that
