Though infinitely prettier when spelled
Jeanne, it is apparently thought to sa-
vOr too much Of the GalIiC for English
ears. 1t Is one of the simplest of
feminine names-its equivalent Jane
being the sole example Of an appelIa-

Jean means grace of the Lord" It's
earliest predecessor was Joanna, wife
of RerOd's steward The Roman calen.

G he Friendly Path

Hopkins recognizes and suggests n
curb on Il dangerous tendency which
has been developing, lnimlcal to the
public welfare.
II is doubtful if men in any voca-
tion have been as poorly paid for their
services 10 humanity as physicians
and surgeons have been. But those
who enter these important professions
would be unfit to engage in these
noble fields of labor if they were at
tracted to them by the possible money
returns rather than by the opportu-
mites to lessen suffering and to save
human life
Knowing of the great earnings a
few specialists have received has in
iluenced young men in many instances
to become surgeons and specialists
when unified to specialize
In measure this has been respon-
Sible for the decrease in the number
Of country practitioners so that resi-
dents Of rural communities often suf-
fer because of inability to procure
services on urgent calls.
The country doctor who saves life
for few dollars In dingy farm
houses, performs a service which
saves lives that are just as valuable
as those saved by great surgeons for
which big fees nave been paid. II
should not be questioned how much
n surgeon or physician should charge,
but whether the motive back of the
service is gold or the relieving of suf.
fering and saving of human lives.

South African Youth Burned to
Death to Appease Wrath OF
Great Spirit.

ClncinnatI-SIr Clarkson Tredgold,
the senior judge OF southern Rhodesia,
and Il jury were engaged for two days
Investigating the circumstances in
which MnnduZa. the second surviving
son of Chief ChiGango. of section OF
the Mtnwara tribe, was offered up as
4 sacrifice to appease the wrath of the
Nwuri (the Great Spirit.
Those charged with the crime OF
murder included Chigango. the father
Of the victim; Chiswiti. the paramount
chief Of the district. whose only proved
share of the proceedings was the pro-
vision OF an escort to carry out the
orders OF Chigango; Chlrlseri. "A head
man of neighboring kraal. and four
police boys" or priests. who. acting
on orders. carried out the ceremony.
The paramount chief was found not
guilty and discharged; the others were
found guilty and sentenced TO death.
In passing sentence the Judge an
nOunccd that he would support the
strong recommendation to mercy with
which the jury has coupled their ver-
dict, says Henri PlCkard in the Gin
cinnati Enquirer.
Crops Burned by Sun.
In January last the Mtawara tribe
in common with Others saw their crops
beng destroyed by a scOrChing sun
and starvation staring them In the
face. Suspicion fell on Manduza-
that he had angered the Great Spirit
and his father ordered that he
should be put to death with all the
customary ceremony. 1t came out in
evidence that Chigango could not trust
his own people to execute this decree,
and obtained an escort of about sew
enty from Chiswiti, so that the victim
should not allow his courage to fall
and seek safety in flight.
Manduza was conveyed in the night
TO Chiswiti's sitting place" Instruc-
tons came from Chigango that his son
should be sacrificed. An eyewitness
of the scene described how Manduza's S
hands were bound with limbo, spe-
cinlly kept for such occasions. and
was then carried by the police boys''
TO Il place where a wood fire had been
prepared. The man was laid on the
pyre and further timber placed over
him. 1t did not transpire that he of.
fered any resistance. By daybreak
nothing remained but n pile of ashes
hnd human bones, from which the
flesh had been burned.

YOUR WORD

XEyIIEN you say you will do ii
w thing, do your friends believe
you?
If you make a practice of keeping
your word, if you have established
reputation for truthfulness, then
your word really is worth something.
In every social set there are GER
tain persons whose word is taken as
lightly as the wind, while there are
others who can be relied on implc-
lily. There is the woman who says
"Oh, give me 20 tickets for the char
ity supper. l know | can sell them"
and you mentally note that she will
possibly dispose Of five tickets, surely
no more. Then there are other wom-
en- in the same community who If
they said they would sell 20 tickets
would never dream Of returning any
but would pay for them all themselves
