The truth of the matter is, that
neither he who is a fop In the world is
q fit man to be alone, nor he who has
set his heart much upon the world,
though he has never SO much under
standing so that solitude can be well
fitted and sit right but upon a very
few persons. They must have enough
knowledge of the world to see the
vanity Of 1t, and enough virtue to
despise all vanity IL the mind be pos
sessed with any lust or passions, 4
man had better be In a fair han In a
wood alone. They may, like petty
thieves, cheat US perhaps and pick u
pockets In the midst Of company, but
like robbers they use to strip and bind,
or murder US, when they catch us
alone. This is but to retreat from men
to fall into the hands Of devils

STILL LIVE IN "STONE AGE"
Film Party in New Guinea Discovers
People Who Are Interesting Rel
les of the Past.

Adventures In the wilds OF New
Guinea were experienced by a film
party in a small motor launch, the
Waffle. The expedition cruised along
the coast Of New Guinea, three times
grounding on uncharted reefs, and each
time the photographic staff carefully
corrected the charts carried. A week
or so later a storm picked up the Wat
tie and impaled it or a coral spur. AT
ter unwelcome labor In a shade tenn
perature of 104 degrees the launch
was relocated. In one place the visi-
tors found that the people were still
in the Neolithic age, stone axes and
AIDES being In general use. The cam
era expert was interested in the weav-
ing of cloth by the natives. A special
tree was selected and cut down with a
stone adze. The bark was beaten and
loosened, turned inside out and placed
In the sun to dry. Then it was soaked
in water and again dried. Finally 1t
was cut into lengths with a sharpened
fiat stone like a chisel. The journey
up the Ramu river, In New Guinea,
was rendered difficult by the hidden
logs and sometimes only four and one
half miles were covered In the day.
Sixty days were spent In that river,
the Waffle pushing up about Ito
miles.

Albania Defied Sultan.

In the % years hat Amureth II was
Sultan of Turkey, he conquered two
empires, II kingdoms and 500 cities
but there was one little kingdom, ly-
ing at his very door, which for a quar-
ter of a century successfully deled
and resisted Turkish Mohammedism
and ave Amureth II more trou-
BILE than all his other enemies com
bined. The kingdom was Albania.
John Gratiot, leader Of the AL
banians, repealed 20 separate inva-
sions Of the sultan's army. All in all,
nearly 100000 Turkish soldiers were
dispatched to conquer the little coun-
try which was protected at no time
by more than 10000 Albanians. The
Turks suffered frightful losses.
At last after % years of the most
stubborn resistance recorded by his
tory, Albania yielded, but not till Ora
tiot himself had been harvested BY
the inevitable grim reaper.

lncident Cured Him.

I first suffered qualms of the heart
during my grammar-school days. The
cause was q dark-haired miss who sat
about three rows from me. One day,
during recess, when I was all alone In
the room, I, endeavoring to do some
thing to please the maiden, took some
flowers that were on the teachers
table and arranged them In the form
of a large heart on the girls desk. /
still don't know what made me do 1t,
but at any rate the teacher came In
just as / was putting or the finishing
touches. When the rest Of the class
came in she said, 81 want you all to

BOY HAS QUEER AFFLICTION
Case Of Hungarian Youngster Has At
tracted the Attention of Spiritual
lists Everywhere.

Spiritualist circles In Hungary and
elsewhere are reported to be greatly
excited over the mysterious agencies
which are apparently at work on a
thirteen-year-old peasant boy, the son
of a scavenger In the country town of
Kecskemet. Since his earliest youth
his simple family have been frightened
to see the furniture moving when he
was In the room and to hear whispers
from empty corners. Since he passed
his twelfth birthday these uncanny
happenings are said to have taken a
broke out In the house where he lived.
The local authorities, after inveStiga-
lions, put down the cause of these
fires to corporations of naphtha In the
soil. The superstitious villagers. how
ever, were not satisfied, and John and
his mother were obliged to leave the
town and go to Budapest. There
events repeated themselves. At night
flames fickered on the bed where the
boy slept with his cheeks burning in
fever, and singed the pillows. Very
soon no house in Budapest was will
ing to harbor the dangerous tenant,
who seemed unconsciously to bring in
visible and unwelcomed guests. John
Is now in the house of a prominent
Hungarian ~spiritualist, who hopes to
solve the riddle and who claims to
have discovered a new and brilliant
medium for eances.

LOOKING AFTER THE CATTLE
Not Alone In Poorer Districts Of Ire
land Are Animals Sheltered
With the Family.

1t Is well known that the pigs be
longing to the poorer peasants In the
villages of Ireland are practically
members Of the family" The house
is to all intents and purposes their
rightful lodging and eating quarters
Ireland, however, is not the only
country In which one may find live
stock indoors, as in the outlying vii
lagos In the northern part of Russia
the family COW (nearly every house
hold owns one) Is under shelter for
eight months out of every twelve, says
London Answers.
The whole countryside Is a mass Of
snow for months on end, and 40 to so
degrees below zero Is not uncommon /;
so the poor beasts have to be cooped
up. They are fed-or, rather, nearly
starved, on SIENNA grass, collected and
stored by the Russians during the short
summer, and they emerge when the
has disappeared very thin In
deed.
Although living In the same habita-
ton as their owners, they are allotted
a separate apartment. The chickens
are also sheltered In the living and
sleeping rooms and are "hutched' In
the fireplace.
The fire actually is about two and a
half feet above the level of the floor,
and with a few thin pieces Of wood
the aperture underneath is easily con-
verted into a cozy place for the fowls
the winter.
In the village in the Nile district,
where the houses have fiat tops, the
natives make use Of the roofs to
house" their smaller live stock, such
as sheep, goats and poultry.
