MEN SET IN "HIGH PLACES"
Those Only Admirable Who Remain
Affabe and Generous to Those
of Lower Levels.

Speaking Of the Mount Everest ex-
petition, Sir Francis Younghusband
says: "At great heights men get very
nervous and irritable. At 10000 feet
they begin to lose patience with one
another, and the higher they climb the
deeper they hate"
There is moral in that for men
seeking high attitudes In our common
human life.
May it never be said of them with
truth: "The higher they climb the
deeper they hate"
1t is a fine thing, to find a man who
goes upward to great heights without
losing his head, his nervous equipoise,
his self-control 1t is an inspiration
to us who plod and drudge along at
the lower levels to find him generous,
amiable, affable, ready to meet all
Corners and faithful to his friends.
On the other hand, 1t is deplorable
TO come upon man who wins his way
to eminence of any Sort and In that
lofty station, instead of looking to
the sky and superior Power, looks
down upon ''the common herd and
thinks-and tells-how great he is in
comparison with them.-Philadelphia

Fight Locusts With Airplanes.

The locust plague in southern France
is being fought with the aid Of air
planes. One hundred thousand acres
of fertile land have been devastated.
The pests are Matching out in isolated
spots on the great Crau plain, and each
new NEST" gives birth to many mil
lions of locusts. 1t is Of vital i'm
portance to destroy the young insects
before they are strong enough to fly
far, and this is where the airplanes
are proving so useful. Pilots now
daily scour the whole Of the Crau
plain, flying extremely low. When
they locate breeding ground or NEST"
of locusts directions are Immediately
telephoned to the anti-locust head
quarters at Miramas. If there is long
grass near, petrol is poured on 1t
and 1t is set aflre. Otherwise the
infested area is strewn with sawdust
soaked in arsenic. This kills the locusts
at once, and also any eggs that are
Unmatched.

Japanese Easy to Learn.

Sir Dennison Ross, director Of the
London school of oriental studies, in
an exhortation to his countrymen to
learn Japanese, says that this is one
of the easiest languages Of the world
to pronounce. "Most of the. words end
In vowels and none Of the consonants
offer any difficulties" The structure
Of japanese is very peculiar and very
strange to the beginner. 1t Is hard to
realize a grammar which recognizes no
persons and genders-but such Is the
case with the Japanese. The language
also has no relative pronouns. How.
ever, there is no reason why people
whose mother tongue is English should
fight shy of the language. For prac-
teal, everyday purposes, six months
study of the spoken tongue will carry
an intelligent man long way provided
he has competent teachers.

poets Tie shop AAd."

A poet in whose breast the cares
Of a collar and tie shop in Asakusa
cannot stifie the Parnassian urge has
written the following sign and placed
1t over his masters shop to cheer the
passerby:
"Those who belong to our company
are always endeavoring to express
their delicate mood and individuality
through the goods they are dealing
in, from the point Of view of making
all existence best and most beautiful
first of all and then let themselves
upward from earth to paradise that is
to say the eternal peace-the Ideal
under the elapse of time"
What 1t means would be difficult to
say. While 1t draws attention to the
admirable qualities of the collars and
ties and garters, it also seems to in
dictate little WEAKNESS with Asakusa
considered as stepping stone towards
"the eternal peace under the elapse of
time."--Japanese Advertiser.

Is there anything else you'll have,

WONDERS FOUND IN NUMBERS
Although Undoubtedly an Exact Sci.
enee, They Are in Many Ways
Full Of Imagination.

All things are full of wonder, but
what is more wonderful than numbers?
Who discovered them, or can they
boast an existence before the world
was, with the Ancient of Days? At
the first awakening Of human knowl-
edge numbers were there, for there can
be no gathering together nor any sepa-
rating, no collection and no distribu-
ton, without numbers. They stand
lowering over all, prototype of eternal
law.
Numbers are said to be an exact sci
ence and to deal with facts which can
not lie; yet how full of imagination
they are, as viewed In the geometrical
exactness of the snowflake, determin-
ing the turn of the tides, the changes
of the moon, the procession of our
days and the return of the seasons in
the vale of the years, May Stranathan
writes in the Pittsburgh Dispatch.
They are the measure of our three d.
mansions and, should time be discov-
cred to be our fourth dimension, as
some prophesy, there numbers are
found also.

in the French artillery during the
war. During one of the heavy bonn.

TO PROTECT SACRED SNUFF
Reason Given for the High Bench Be-
hind Which Supreme Court Judges
Have Their Seats.

The Federal Supreme court Is cele-
bratlng its centenary of "the high
bench" Originally the justices sat
behind long bench on the floor OF the
court--on level with the lawyers
who tried their cases before them.
This straight desk had set into 1t
snuff box opposite each Justices seat.
Henry Clay was arguing case before
the court. During a pause in his argu-
ment one Of the Justices reached for
ward, took pinch Of snuff and settled
back to weigh the more carefully the
reasoning presented. In his next
pause Mr.. Clay reached over and with
a "Thank you" took pinch himself.
The court was indignant. That after
noon they met to decide what could be
done TO preclude the possibility Of a
second breach of the etiquette Of the
court" and decided to have bench
made of such height that no mere
practitioner could reach their pet snuff.
Since then they have sat behind the
high bench that is in use today.--New
York Tribune.
