WORDS FROM
THE LIPS OF
WISE MEN

w tomorrow.
Great minds are the lighthouses
Of humanity.
The greatest of faults is to be
conscious of none.
Be less eager to pass others
than to surpass yourself.
None are so fond Of secrets as
those who do not mean to keep
them.
Many, wanting wit, affect grav-
ity and go by the name Of solid
men.
Thrift is a rich contribution to
the building up Of character.
Silent contempt is often the
sharpest reproof.
The penalty Of selfishness is
to be left solitary.
Grumbling at your lot merely
makes you a lot worse.
It's sound policy to keep your
balance-personally and finan-
cially.
If you have done all you posi-
bly, can, you have done all you
ought.
There Is no purpose served in
knowing more Of good conduct
than we practise.
The bold pursue their game
with more passion, endeavor and
application. and therefore they
often succeed.

0NE of the bravest battalions
that fought in Mesopotamia

0NE of the bravest battalions
that fought in Mesopotamia
" during the recent great war
was the Kachin battalion.
The Kachins come from Burma,
which is under the rule of Great
Britain.
1t is thought that the Kachins
are of Monaghan origin, and that
undoubtedly thousands of years
ago they came from the northern
plateaus of Central Asia.
% Although short in stature-the
average height being a trifle
over five feet - the average Ka-
chin is powerfully built, and has
great physical endurance.
When the traveller in Burma
sees one of this race, he is i'm
mediately reminded the Ameri-
can Indian. For the Kachins are
of the same coloring and have
the same high cheek bones.
Among the Kachins class dis
tinction is visible in their faces.
The aristocrats have by far the
finest features.
Some of the girls Of better
class are very attractive. And
the surprised traveller, gazing at
their hair dresses, wonders at the
fleetness with which fashions
tour the world.
For the Kachin girls wear their
hair in the latest style. Invari-
able the younger girls have
bobbed hair. And what is more
surprising, they are 30 up to the
minute that they wear bangs!
But on inquiring, one finds that
this style of hair dressing is not
a result of Western influence.
The Kachins have worn their hair
in this manner for centuries.
In this part of Burma, where
the Kachins live, woman's state
is indicated by her headdress.
The married woman wears
large turban on her head, and
what a proud day for the Kachin
girl is the day she first has the
right to bind her hair in a high
impressive turban - and can al
low her hair to grow.
Because before that she could
neither wear the turban nor wear
long hair.
Here in this far Eastern coun-
try girls who are unmarried wear
their hair bobbed. When you
meet a Kachin girl with the lat
est bob you know she is a miss"

and Authorit ON subiects of SCIENTIFIC Interest.

ANEW WORKERS are accus-
toned to the innumerable
- attentions that their great
city receives from visitors, but
here is something of that kind quite
unique in it's way, and calculated
to suggest a new direction for
civic pride:
Some weeks ago some of us
had occasion to visit the city of
New York, and among the Won
ders that impressed us was the
closeness of the rock to the sur
face. in certain sections of the
great city.
Now we are having somewhat
OF a warm discussion over the mat
ter. Some Of us claim that the
composition of most of the rock
that we saw was limestone: others
claim that it was sandstone. Re-
garding the position of the rock
around Central Park, especially
south, where it appears to be rest
ing edgeways, some of us believe
that 1t was caused at some time in
the distant past by volcanic dis
turbance. Can you help us by
writing an article on the geology
of New York city, or Manhattan
Island?-Thomas Price, Clinton,
Indiana"
Now, to be specific, the rocks so
much admired by these visitors
were neither limestone nor sand
stone-unless they happened to
come upon boulders and small
rocky masses brought to Manhattan
Island by the glaciers in the ice
age.
The native rock Of Manhattan
consists most largely of gneiss,
which differs from granite by pos
sessing more mica, by being gener-
ally more friable, and by it's foil

fication. 1t occurs in beds, and is

COTTON NERVOUS, BUT DECLINE ENDS IN STEADY RALLY

NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-The cotton market showed rather nervous and irregular fluctuations today, but an early decline was followed by rallies and the close was steady at a net advance Of 22 to fl points. After selling off to 2765 at the opening, October rallied to 2S.0S, broke again to 27.S3, then advanced to 2S.30, and closed at 2S.17.
 The market opened barely steady at a decline of Il to IS points under continuation of the selling which had developed following the big jump in prices yesterday morning. Reaction ary sentiment was encouraged by the rather easier showing of the early cables and expectations that con tinuance of the present favorable weather in the south would mean rapid increase in the new crop move ment. It seemed that the decline below the 2S-cent level brought in considerable buying, however, and as. soon as the early offerings had been absorbed, prices turned upward on covering. There was another spurt of realizing around the 2S-cent level for October and after advancing from 27.35 to 27.S0 for December, the mar ket eased again under liquidation ana selling for a reaction. The demand for contracts on the QecilHe- SSeHISu sufficient to start another covering movement during the early afternoon when buying was probably promoted by the talk of better prospects Tor an agreement between France ana Germany and unconfirmed rumors of a tropical storm. December sold up to 2S.11, making net advances of 4p to 5S points on the more active months, but private advices reaching here from New Orleans said there was no storm in sight and the mar ket eased off from the best in the late trading Reports of light rams in west Texas were a sustaining rae tor late in the afternoon, but gener- ally speaking, the weather news was considered favorable. Private ad- vices received here from Texas re- ported buying by southern mills ana there were rumors that a good many contracts in the market here had passed into the hands of the trade on the decline of yesterday after- noon and this morning.

STOCK PRICES ON CURB FIRM, WITH MODERATE GAINS.

NEW YORK. Sept 1t.-Stock prices were firm in today's more active curb market. Gains. while general throughout the list, were only moder- ate.
