RIGHT EDUCATION.

This is truly the day OF education
and poorindeed is the chance OF any
boy or girl who comes to manhood
or womanhood without an education,
an insight into the laws OF nature
of morality and right and jIdicious
living that will broaden their spheres
and enhance the work Of their re-
spective domains.
Every son, whatever may be ms
expections as to fortune AMI future,
ought to be 50 educated that he can
superintend some part Of the COM
pIicated machinery Of social life,
Every daughter should be SO drilled
in logic and lore that she can answer
the claims of humanity, whether
those claims demand the work Of
the hand, of the head or Of the
heart

Champions the lIomeIy Man.

Do homely men make best hus-
bands?
The merits of the hOmely husband
were upheld by Judge Theodore J.
Richter, who has tied and united hun
dreds of matrimonial knots.
The handsome man is more likely
to become litigant in divorce pro
ceedings, not because his good looks
make him worse, but because they are
likely to make his wife jealous, he
said. Her jealousy leads to mistrust
"The handsome man who is con-
stantly nagged by jealous wife finally
gets tired of protesting his innocence.
He may think that as long as his tidel-
ity is questioned he might as well go
aStray.
Judge Richter said that handsome
ness in a man is often a handicap.
Good looks make him conceited and
cause him to attach too much impOr-
lance to the incidentals of his person
atty rather than upon actual accom-
plishment.-Detroit News.

Ants Divided Into Castles.

Every colony of ants is divided into
sharply defined castles. The largest,
as rule, are the workers, which are
nearly the size of the queen ant, but
which lack the wings. The largest ants
commonly act as policemen or de-
tenders of the colony, and in some
species their jaws are sufficiently pow
erful to crush seeds and the hard
parts of insects. In some colonies
where the workers are not needed or
are found to he too expensive to rear
and maintain on account of their size
and appetites, they have been elm
mated, and the worker caste is repre-
scented by the tiniest of the colony.
The queen ant may live from y to
II years, and may produce offspring
UP to the time of her death. Unlike
the queen bee, she is not hostile to
her offspring, and in some species the
queen daughters return to the ma
ternal colony after their marriage
fight and take an active part in in
creasing its population. When col
ony grows too large it may separate
into several, the queens emigrating
singly and taking with them a small
company of workers whO form the
nucleus Of the new nest.

Lost and Found.

Umbrellas are lost and found fire.
ouently enough but seldom is one the
means of helping one person to lind

curious horn handle studded with
roundheaded tacks.
He promptly lost his way, and an
hour later my friend, Mr. HUT who
was hurrying along the crowded
Strand, saw Il man apparently looking
for some one or something and car

Turks Know Nothing Of Modern
Business Hustle"
Coffee "as is" Coffee Central Feature
Of Hospitality-Greetinos Marked
by Much Ceremony.

In the Levant coffee Is the central
feature of hospitality the binding So
clal link, writes correspondent IRON
Constantinople in the London Daily
Express. Its consumption partakes OF
religious ceremony and the ritual Is
strictly laid down.
When YOU call on a Turkish official,
or, indeed, on any Turk you advance
toward him With a sweeping movement
of the right hand, touching your heart
lips and brow, which he returns. lie
then takes you by the right hand ana
ushers YOU to the best armchair on
his right where you settle for nail

half rise: and repeat the salute, in
Guiding in il all the other occupants OF
the room. Again Il short pause, ana
he asks after the state of your re-
spected health praise be to God,
YOU reply piously (neanng that you
are quite we'll thank you). "And your
high excellency's health| GOD be
praised" he returns, and when you
have exhausted one another's families
there ensues another and longer pause.
He comes out of a profound medl-
tation. as if blindingly original idea
had attacked him. your high per-
sonality drinks coffee?" he inquiries,
his hand lowering over the little bell
inseparable from Turkish Office
table You assent, and the bell Is
struck. A servant enters, buttoning
ND his coat in token Of respect and
folding his hands over his stomach.
Every Turkish office, from the prime
minister's to the mudir's in an outly-
ing village, has an authorized coffee
maker attached to it, His function
IS to tighten the dull round of daily
toll by mfnistering to very cultivated
palates.
Before he touches the coffee it has
been slowly roasted in an inclined re-
volving cylinder over an ash or char-
coal fire. and then ground to hne
nowder: TO insure absolute smoothness
this powder IS hammered on an anvil,
most tuneful proceeding. This flnal
rerfect quintessence OF coffee is mixed
with the accurate quantity of sugar
specified, and the water added I'D the
"ibrik" or jczve," which are two
names for the same little saucepan
The iezve is pushed reverently among
the ashes. which are then famed TO
the required temperature, and the COT
fee is three times brought to the Doil
and three times cooled by the addition
of a few drops of water. Then once
more for luck, and it is poured into
little cups without handles, like the
slop-basln of dolls tea set placed
on brass tray and offered to the
guest.
After all this you may get on with
your business if you haven't forgot
