up my mind as to why the opposition
threw away its support upon Fare. 1t
may have been force of habit that led
the proletariat to think it had to give
leadership to one of the old ar'stocra :
cy. 1t may have been due to knowl-
edge that the pEoletariat could win
that year without the help Of some
of the aristocracy and aNconviction that
such help would not be forthcoming,
which would leave Tillman free to say

LIVE UP TO RESOLUTIONS
Writer Well says That Breaking Them Causes Man to Lose Lose Needed
 Confidence ia Himself.

Be miserly with your good resOlu- tions Make them only after careful deliberation and when you are really determined to live up to them, because every time you break one you weaken your power of self-directiOn. Never again" rolls easily from our lips after some foolish act has proved disastrous, and under the stress of emotion we mean 1t, but through the healing effect of time our resolution grows fainter, and when the circumstances invite once again we succumb to the same temptation. Every time that happens our power of resistance decreases.
 Habit plays an important part in our lives, and with sufficient effort we are able to direct and strengthen our habits of mind. The correct way to overcome one habit is by cultivattng the directly opposite one. If you fall into the way of continually making and breaking resolutions you finally ar- rive at the point where you realize when you make them that you are not really serious about 1t and that you will probably break them later on. You begin to lose confidence in and respect for yourself and the tone of your char acter lowers. You are carelessly In- turing yourself in a most vital way.
 Make up your mind that you will not allow yourself to make resolutions under the stress of emotion. Treat the consideration of them as a serious affair and make no decision except when you are mentally calm. Count every broken one as an important point lost in the game of life.

GREEK ART LONG IN MAKING
Mistaken Idea Too Long Held That 1t Wac a Thing of Spon-
 taneouG Growth.

Every now and then some extreme modernist comes forward with the statement that the Greek inspiration has no place in the art of our time. Yet, from a broad modern standpoint, "classic art'' has so greatly enlarged its scope and Widened its horizon that it seems in no danger of dying out of the present-day world What used to be called "the classic traditions" have long since died out and given place to new conceptions of the origins of Greek art, and the tendency of mod ern criticism is also to revise old ideas of late classic styles. Any and all periods of Hellenic development are accepted-in their relation to our own time, rather than as absolute, cOnserv- ative ideals of beauty.
 Archaeology has, in our day, become one of the most vividly interesting and thoroughly alive of pursuits, continu- ally opening up new avenues of in Quiry, and giving light and inspira- ton to the whole field of art. Arche- OlOgical discoveries of the last 50 years have shown that the golden age of Greek art was more than 2,0OO years in the making. It is strange enough to think that previously 1t was regarded as 8 spontaneous growth, with origins yelled in impenetrable mystery. Now, the adventurer into the great regions Of knowledge, where the story of Greek civilization un- folds itself, may become possessed of at least the main facts of prehistoric epochs long before Greek art became Greek.-"The Field of Art" in Serb. ner's

Narrow Minda

It Is difficult for the good Christian to acknowledge the good Pagan; al- most impossible for the good Orthodox to grasp the hand of the good Uni tartan, leaving to their Creator to settle the matters in dispute; and giving their mutual efforts strongly and trustingly to whatever right thing is too evident to be mistaken. Then again, though the heart be large, yet the mind is often of such moderate dimensions as to be exclusively filled up with one idea. When a good man has long devoted himself to a particu- lar kind of benefcence-to one species of reform-he is apt to become nar- rOwed into the limits of the path wherein he treads, and to fancy there is no other good to be done on earth but that selfsame good to which he has put his hand, and in the very mode that best suits his own concep- tions.-Nathaniel Hawthorne.

HAD CLEAR VISION OF RADIO
imaginative Canadian Writer Looked Into the Future With Sight That
 Was Prophetic.

A remarkable imaginative predic- tion of wireless telephony was made by Grant Balfour c. M. Grant, of Toronto in q triOlogue which appeared in an English magazine in 1889, and was afterward reproduced in 8 pamphlet entitled "Bahrak-KohI, two Hebrew words, meaning the voice of the lightning. The characters of this little treatise were represented as in the neighbOrhood of the Jordan.
 "The prophet now took from his girdle," says the narrative, "a small instrument resembling a trumpet for the deaf. Coming down to MOhammed, he asked him to turn his right side toward the south and to put the broad end of the instrument to his right ear. The prophet then inquired where his home was.
 My home,' replied MOhammed, is in the extreme south of Arabia, l, 400 miles away
 Listen nOw,' said the prophet; dOst thou hear the sound of wavesT
 "I dO,' replied the sheik. Where may they beT
 "'These waves answered the prOph- ct, are the waves of the Indian ocean breaking upon the Arabian shore
 Further describing the instrument, the prophet said: "The thing before thee is but a rude pattern in part of the coning needed device of man. No such device is required by prophet of the Lord to entrust the lightning with a message: The prophet speaks, nay, he needs but to well, and 1t Is dOne."-TOronto Globe

GOT TAPESTRIES AT BARGAIN
Vienna Pawnbroker Would Have Done Good Stroke of Business Had
 Not Police Interfered.

A distracted young widow, reports the Vienna correspondent of the Lon don Daily Mall, took one of three bed to a pawnbroker and obtained a loan of about $15. She was amazed and scared when they told her the tapestry was a Gobeltn worth millions of crowns.
 The Gobelins are the property of Prince CzartOryska, who had given them to the young woman's father to guard. When the man discovered one was missing from the hiding place un- der his mattress he rushed to the po- lice, who tracked down and arrested his daughter.
 The weeping girl told the judge that she was married eighteen months ago and her husband died the day her baby was born. She became homeless who had been in the service of the prince. She meant to redeem the GObelin with the first money she earned.
 The prince said he had suffered no Injury, as the tapestries were undam- aged and the amount the girl had bor- rOwed was no more than he had meant to pay her father for taking care of them.
 When the young mother was ac- quilted her father repeatedly kissed her tear-stained face and led her from the court.

Alderman John COughlin of Chi cagO was cornered the other day by some younger members of the city council who asked him how he had retained his seat in the council for over thirty years.

Camera on Plan of the Eye.

The camera is nothing more or less than a huge model of the eye. Light passing through the lens of the eye is focused on the retina, which cor responds exactly to the ground-glass screen or the plate of the camera Though the retina's chief use is to send an impression in the brain. it is capable of retaining an image for some time. Light has the same effect on it as on a photographic plate. To test the truth of this you have only 10 look for a moment at some brightly illuminated object. and then to cast the eyes up to the white ceiling; you will find that yoI see the image of

PhNsician Uses Airplane.

A doctor in Syria, to keep in touch with his patients among the wandering BedOuin tribes, uses an airplane. From his headquarters in Palmyra he flies over the desert, alighting wherever he finds tribe encamped. His fame as physician has already spread far in to the desert, and whenever his plane lands Bedouin patients flock to con- suit him. Although his practice GOV CTS a wide area and his nomad pa tients are constantly on the move, his task is comparatively easy. The clear air of the desert makes it pos sible for him to see encampments at a great distance. Doctor Martinet has already flown to and treated over 10O serious cases and many minor ones.

Famous Captain Won koepenick" Not the First to Make Fraudulent
 Use of Army Uniform.

The recent death of Voigt, the fa- nous Captain von Koepenick," re- minds Le Petit Parisien that he had precursors of the same rare audacity in Paris.
 In Paris. during the Directory, two men of military aspect presented them selves at the NOuvelle barracks, pro- vided with forged orders of the pO- lice prefect and commandant of the city.
 In virtue of these orders they requi- sitioned two sergeants and some sol diers, and went with them to Rue Richelieu, then the Rue de la Loi where they entered the house occu- pied by young Turkish diplomat.
 Showing their false warrant, they ransacked the rooms and furniture of the young Turk, took his jewels and his gold and threatened to take him to prison; but finally, on his request, left him at home guarded by one of the sergeants and two or three sol diers.
 After which, dismissing the rest of the troops, they departed and have never been seen since.
 The two men were thieves for whom the police of that time were looking in vain.

Stainless Iron Held Great invention.
 Stainless iron, which is already on the market in the form of golf clubs, cutlery, small metal parts, shop ft- tings, sheets for turbine parts, and for other machinery parts specially liable to cOrrosiOn through exposure, is stead fly being made cheaper by the manu- lecturers in Sheffield. Its high cost at present Is the chief obstacle to it's general use. When people recognize it's intrinsic value, stainless iron will be used very extensively, says a steel maker. At present the development is in Its infancy, and the closest investi- gatiOn is necessary before unqualified claims can be made or before the dis cOVery can be fully exploited. Stainless iron was regarded as one of the most im- portant metallurgical developments of 1921. A great future is prOphesied for 1t in engineering construction. It is expected that eventually 1t will re- place copper, brass, and nickel in the manufacture of a wide variety of ar- ticles.

Elephants and apes have often sur prised their keepers by the strength of their memory. It is a saying among trainers that elephants and tigers never forget an injury; that they may retaliate even years afterward.
 That the shark has memory has been proved many times. not only by his detection of the shark hunters schemes, but by.his attention to certain ships from which he has received spe- cial food favors.
