Never Too Old to Dance.

Staid old London is becoming too
giddy for words, what with grandpa
taking up the new dances.
1t is fact, dancing masters of the
fashionable west end say, that the Eng
lish dance craze has reached such a
height that septuagenarians are among
their most enthusiastic pupils.
"And they do very well, too" one of
these toddling tutors declares. "Some
of them come for the sake of exercise,
not with the idea of cavorting in the
ball room. But they insist, invariably,
ON being taught the latest thing, even
though they claim to view the dancing
class as a sort of modern gymnasium.
'sWhen they take to the cafes or ball
rooms, however, they strengthen their
domestic ties, for mother, whatever her
age, is becoming keener than ever on
dancing.
"The modern husband. whatever his
age. doesn't murmur when he has to
take up dancing That is the only way
ne can keep an eye on his wife"

Regarding Old Landmarks.

This stern age smiles indulgently at
loves foibles, but it is quick to de-
mand obedience to sane conduct and
diligence to business. It's ready to
enjoy the poetry of life, but insists
that the poet meet the obligations of
life as he writes.
Timid souls cling to the parental
hearth and decree by the old land
marks. We need these custodians of
what has been. They help hold steady
the restless youth who chafe under the
restraint of the commonplace. They
contribute to the world who strive to
hold it true to the old landmarks.
The calls of genius and inspiration
uniformly disregard the old landmarks.
In following the CLEAN of things to
be they pass over the things that
have been. In sober meditation they
often tarry at the shrine of the past
When the spirit moves they pass over
every bound In the wild dash for
great attainment.-Grit.

Viruin Land in the North.

For 1872 years white men have been
travelling the Mackenzie river route to
the Arctic, yet that stream flows
through a land the possibilities Of
which are as yet unrealized. Vast
stretches of forest reach away to ev-
cry horizon. Great lakes and rivers
swarm with fish. Untapped mineral
wealth abounds. Yet In more than q
million square miles of vast possibili-
ties are to be found not more than
5000 people. and of that 5000 perhaps
$50 are white.
Here to the north lies vast. unde-
veloped expanse of untold resources.
1t is the least developed land Of North
America, furnishing now only few
bales of fur each year. Iron. gold, and
copper abound. OH may be there in
quantity. Great veins Of coal are often
visible along the river banks, where
some of them have been burning since
before Mackenzie first traversed the
river that bears his name.
Development of this land must come
How long will 1t be before cities stand
where now are trading posts? How
long before railroads make mere mem
cries of the steam packets Of the
Mackenzie ?-Hawthorne Daniel In the

Relics Of Sir Walter Scott.

BY the earnings of his pen Sir Wal
ter Scott built his country home, Abb
botsford, called "a romance in stone
and line" 1t is pleasure to linger in
his study at that place. Here he
wrote many of his books surrounded
by library of some 1000 volumes.
Here is the portrait of his pretty
French wife, the crucifix held in the
pale hands of Mary Queen OF Scots
until the ak fell, the keys that were
found in the old moat at Lochleven
castle and various other articles of
interest. In a case in the great hall
may be seen the black and white suit
last worn by Sir Walter with the queer
old bell-crOwned tall hat. All around
are memories of this man whose
stories were clean, who never dipped
his pen in the mud that depicts the
lowest passions of humanity.-Chicago

FEW MAPS ARE TRUTHFUL
In Fact, Only Those on Globes Are
Able Accurately to Portray Ex-
tensive Areas.

= Do you know what map is? 1t
sounds like a foolish question. You
will probably contend that every
schoolboy knows. If pressed for a
definition you will probably say "a
map is drawing which exactly rep
resents a portion of the earth's sur
face, the distances between the points
upon the map being proportionate to
distance between the points upon the
earth represented" or some similar ex-
PLANTATION.
But this is only partly true, writes
c. III. Claudy in the Scientific Ameri-
can. There is only one kind of map
In existence which will truthfuiiy fit
such a definition, and that is map
made upon a globe. No fiat map. large
or small, exactly represents" any
portion of the earth's surface, and only
on a globe are the distances between
all points truly proportional to dis
tances between points on the earth rep
resented.
In other words all fiat maps are dis
torted. All fiat maps tell only part
Of the truth. All fiat maps to some
extent misrepresent the facts.
This is not due to any lack of moral
sense on the part of the map makers.
They can't help it. The nature of a
globe is such that there is no process
by which it's surface can be fiattened
out without tearing, stretching, cutting
or COMPRISING. And the earth is a
globe (slightly fiattened at the poles).

PRODUCT OF MANY BRAINS
Great Musical Instrument, the Organ,
Had Its Inception Over Two
Thousand Years Ago.


More than two thousand years ago
a barber in Alexandria discovered
that in moving his mirror air was
forced through the tubes which were
common in mirrors at that time. This
caused curious musical sound to be
emitted.
So struck was he by this popularity
that he set about making an instru-
ment which was the foundation of the
modern organ.
(, After several experiments he made
a water-fute, in which air was forced
by bellows through an inverted cone
which led TO flutes controlled by key
board, the pressure being kept uni
form by water.
After a thousand years rival in
strument made its appearance. This
was similar pattern, but, instead of
water, weights regulated the pressure
In 951 an organ was erected at Win
chester, England. 1t had twentyssix
bellows and ten pipes to each key. The
two men who sat at the keyboard
s'hlew and Sweated enormously"
Later, a firm of organ makers In
Germany succeeded in erecting the
first really big instrument. The prim-
airy stops did not differ very much
from those of today, although various
novelties were introduced.
Among the innovations were the
nightingale and cuckoo stops, while
others represented cock-crowing and
goat-bleating. Though these novelties
have now fallen into disuse, an organ
with one of these nightingale stops is
still to be seen in Rome.
1t was not until the Nineteenth cen
fury that the problem of the regula-
ton of air pressures was solved by
the introduction of the hydraulic
blower.

NO LONGER WEAPON or WAR
The Mace Today Is, However, in All
Countries Recognized Symbol
of Authority.

In the days of old armory the mace
was a military implement used for
dealing heavy blows. 1t was frequent
ly carried by horse-soldiers at the
saddle bow, where 1T was suspended
by thong which passed through the
upper part of the handle; this thong
was wound around the wrist to pre-
vent its loss by the force of a blow
II could be conveniently welded with
one hand and had many forms. The
head was of ten spikes, and some
times consisted of six, eight or more
radiating blades, grouped around
central spike, all Of steel. In England
during the time of the Plantagenets
the mace was used in battles and
tournaments, and was superseded by
the pistol In the time of Elizabeth.
The ornamental maces OF parliament
the universities, and the city corpora.
tons may be traced to the Twelfth
and Thirteenth centuries. The house
of commons has possessed no less than
three Maces, and that of the lord may
or of London dates from 1875. In
the congress of the United States the
sergeant-at-arms has a small silver
mace.
At the present day the mace is re-
garded as scepter or staff of office.
Maces are borne before or by officials
of various ranks in many countries,
as a symbol of authority, or badge of
office, and the mace on the table of the
British house of lords or of commons
ranresenfS the authority of the house.

The annual statement of The Northwestern
Mutual Life Insurance Company shows
how its policyholders feel about the mat
ter. because of all the insurance issued by
it in 1921, more than 45qo was issued
upon applications of men already insured
in the Northwestern. That is pretty good
evidence that policyholders consider the
Company fair and square,, and when
a company forms the habit it will con-
tinue to be fair and square" after its
policies mature.
A policy natures" when it becomes pay
able to the insured or to the beneficiary or
benehciaries named therein. 1t is OF the
utmost importance that company always
have sufficient funds with which to pay
claims promptly when called upon to do so.
The law requires all life insurance compa-
MES constantly to maintain sinking fund
for that purpose and prescribes the method
of computing the fund, which is called the
reserve. On January l, 1922 the law
required the Northwestern to have re-
serve" amounting to over 456 million dol
lars, and on that day it had assets to the
amount of 507 million dollars. If these as
sets were good, then the reserve was safe.
Just exactly how good these assets ere
may be judged from the fact that 224 mil
lion dollars of them are in first lien, real
estate mortgages (155 million in farm and
50 million in city loans) on property val
ued at 724 million; $50 million in United
States and other high-grade bonds, and
70 million in advances made to policy
holders upon the security Of the cash
value of their own policies.
The statement shows that the Northwest
ern had reserve for contingencies" over
all liabilities amounting to some "a million
dollars.
The Northwestern did not break any rec
ords in writing new policies in 1921, but it
progressed and prospered. thad the big
gest and best financial year in its history,
permitting it to continue its established
dividend scale" throughout 1922. This
