WORDS FROM
THE LIPS OF
WISE MEN

THE greatest object in the
universe. says a certain
- philosopher. Is q good man
struggling with adversely. Yet
there is a still greater, which is
the good man who comes to re-
neve it.
Who loves his work and knows
to spare,
May live and flourish anywhere.
Learning makes a man q fit
companion for himself.
The seeds Of knowledge may
be planted In solitude, but must
be cultivated in public.
II happiness have not her seat
and center in the breast, we may
be wise, or rich, or great, but
never can be blest.
Difficulty and strength are
bosom friends.
A grain of prudence is worth a
pound Of craft.
Every day is a little life, and
our whole life is but day
repeated.
Regrets are weakness, folly,
grief-spunge all regrets away.
Where two discourse, II the ones
anger rise.
The man who let's the contest
. fall is wise. -Plutarch.
A friend that you buy with
presents will be bought from you.
Never nurse regrets;
For sins, repent, forsake; for
chances lost, forget them;
Take thy cup as. it is mixed; &C
cept thy lot with patience,
-Tupper.
It is the customary fate Of new
truths to begin as heresies and
to end as suncI stitions.
Instinct preceded wisdom even
in the wisest men, and may
sometimes be much the better
guide.

BETROTHALS
IN ALBANIA
UNIQUE

A LBANIA is one of the coun-
AZ tries in Europe through
4 - which there is little travel.
And yet it is one of the most In
teresting and picturesque spots OF
the western world.
Within the natural strongholds
among the rugged hills Of this
mountainous country, the Alban.
ians have lived in tribes and
have preserved their traditions
without change as the centuries
rolled by. Albania presents a per-
feet glimpse Of what the Middle
Ages meant in great many
ways.
AS a rule, marriages are very
successful In Albania and almost
universally the couples live in
complete harmony, working to-
gether for the betterment Of the
children. For in Albania not
only is the clan feeling strong,
but the love of family as well as
the pride Of race Is a great
power.
This surprises the foreigner
when he discovers the manner in
which marriages are arranged
and carried out. For the bride
and groom have nothing to do
with choosing each other.
An Albanian man never mar
ries one of his own tribe. His
bride is selected from another
tribe. The day of the marriage
is the first time the couple meet
and in many instances it Is me
first time they have ever seen
each other.
But the advisahility of the
union has been well considered
and thought out long before the
festal day. when the bride is car
ried in a state of rebellion by her
father and brothers to the home
of her future husband.
According to the Albanian Gus.
tom this is the correct way for a
man or women to start on their
married life together-simply to
have been selected as two proper
individuals to marry on account
of the relations existing between
their families.
Individuality and affection play
no part in the matter OF marriage.
Indeed, although the clergy have
been working for years to pre-
vent the custom which has eX-
listed for centuries, many AlI'an-
ian babies are betrothed before
they are born.

TT SEEMS to me that ever more
important than beginning
n your big work" and then
sticking to 1t till it's finished. is
the job of finding out what that
work is going to be.
A certain novelist gives his
opinion this way:
I'VE spend our. time dreaming
about 1t and never actually doing
1t. We find plenty Of excuses for
not doing it. Something's always
happens to throw US off the
track"
OF course he Is right, especially
when he states that anything
amounts to anything Is done not
because Of heroic resolves, but be-
cause one wants to do 1t.
Yet It seems to me that there
are thousands Of misfits in this
world who are doing something
exactly as the novelist describes
because they want to do 1t.
And they have made only super
ficial progress and stand no
chance of reaching success--as
everyone but themselves can see
because what they are doing 10
not their work at all-but what
they wanted to do!
Certain of us are fitted by
physical and mental tendencies to
follow specific lines. And when,
through ambition or perhaps pride
we choose something different
we're going against our best in
terests and nothing further can
be said for US!
