KNOWLEDGE IL Not All,

The man of great ideas has peculiar
qualities of leadership. His influence
is often almost illimitable He has a
large following. He knows. He
knows that he knows. Others know
that ne knows. knowledge Is often
moral dynamite. 1t is the keynote Of
progress. 1t Is one Of the worlds
greatest thrones. There Is premium
on brainy gray-matter. But when the
possibilities of knowledge are enum.
Grated. its limitations must also be
conceded. ! The world never had SO
much knowledge as it has today. 1t
was never so we'll educated. But
knowledge may be curse, for mere
intellectual leadership can be devoid
of moral ideals.-Exchange.

Mistletoe Customs.

Mistletoe, when not suspended In the
air, is regarded by the superstitious
as a harbinger Of bad luck. There is
an old reason for hanging bunch
Of mistletoe in the center Of the room,
a custom which had nothing frivolous
about it in the first place. Balder,
in Scandinavian mythology, was killed
by an arrow of mistletoe. On his be-
ing restored to life it was promised
that the plant never again would pGr-
petuate. evil unless 1t touched the
earth.

Electricity on Rattleship.

Chemistry and physics contribute In
a great measure to the complete bat
t!eship, the branch of optics alone
having given many advantages. In
the matter of electrical science, the
scope to which 1t is used on battle
ship may be appreciated by the fact
that the average large warship can
generate 10000 horse power Of cleo
trical energy, which is equivalent to
the amount used for fairly large
