OUR CURIOSITY

THERE are two kinds of curiosity.
morbid and intelligent.
The one is useless-even harmful.
The other is the driving force that is
behind all science and all progress.
A man gets out of an automobile in
q busy street to pump up a tire. A
hundred people gather round TO watch
ain. The same people will stand
around Il man who has fallen and in
Jured himself, gaping at him, and in
terferlng with those who want to aid
him. They gain nothing by bping there.
They have seen hundreds of tires
pumped up-scores of men fall down.
Their curiosity only breeds rudeness
and ldleness.
Intelligent curiosity is born in the
human being. 1t prompts the baby to
pull his rattle to pieces, and later Oh
to punch a hole in his drum TO see
what is inside that makes the noise.
1t finds its fullest development in the
painful Investigations of the scientist.

ductiye of results, except of the kind
that divests us of our sunny DISPOSE
ton. which we stand and deliver with
out a word of protest.
An odd phase of the covetous spirit
is that ii generally sets its affections
on objects of no substantial worth.
The fine, ennobling things which de-
velop strength of character are often
overlooked in the exciting chase for
the ephemeral. which grows hotter as
the pursuit is continued.
Friendship is ruthlessly brushed
aside. Hearts are broken. Reason
loses its balance in an excitation of
feeling. Talents are neglected or
wrapped in a napkin and hidden. As
the tide of years sweeps US on, we
become impelled by a sort of fanati-
cism whose power we are unable to
resist.
Daily we sink a little lower from an
existence of independence 20 a state
of mere servitude. controlled in every
thought and act by the fervent spirit
of -covetousness.
1t Is a natural inclination which
manifests itself when. al children. we
covet the toys of our playmates. But
that is not all. It sometimes conpels
us to appropriate the play;hings and
impudently TO claim them as our own.
Having grown up in such an atmos-
phere we cannot at once escape its
miasmal influence. though the most OF
us finally succeed in doing so.

whose blood the fever never quite sub
