The Art Of Handling Men

Sometimes we talk as If getting on
the good side of people was rather
q selfish operation. Unpopular young
folks are very likely to turn up their
noses and speak CONTEMPORARY Of
those who have the faculty of making
a pleasant impression on strangers.
But the art is not necessarily a self
ish one, even though self interest
urges us to master it. One must be
rarely endowed indeed to make a sue
cess if he has not learned the primary
art of understanding men and the
ability to persuade them to look at
things from his standpoint. But that
is not all of it, by any means. A good
example loses much Of its force unless
it is linked to an engaging PERSONAL
ty. Good counsel is not likely to be
taken, If offered by those we dislike
In order to help those about you, it is
necessary that y on should know some
thing Of human nature and the causes
which produce the effect you are af-
ter. To be good physician, good
teacher, a good business man, or a
successful philanthropist, you must
be something of an adept in the art OF
handling men.

snake Killing Birds

A number of birds throughout the
world are known to be enemies OF rep
tiles, and several varieties make a reg
ular search for snakes and other creep
ing things.
In South Africa is to be found the
champion snake killer of the bird
family. 1t is known as the secretary
bird.
The name seems an odd ont" but the
bird received its name from crest OF
tuft of plumage rising from the back
OF its head, which reminds one OF a
secretary or bookkeeper with a bunch
If quilts stuck behind his ear
The bird has ashen gray plumage,
aad it's tail feathers are ccfften two fee.
In length. The male bird stands as
much as four feet in height, but a
great portion Of this is neck and legs.
IT'S wings are long when outstretched,
and it is strongly built and is adapted
for the peculiar work Of destroying
large reptiles.
AS a rule it attacks smaller snakes
IL preference to the very powerful
ones, and in doing so uses every pre-
caution against contact with the pois
onous fangs or strong coils. It does not
nftack its prey suddenly. but after
walking around the spot occupied by
reptile suddenly spreads its wings and
gives the reptile a sudden but sharp
blow on the head with its very hard
and sharp ta1ons. This is done SO
quickly that the reptile has no chance

old-Ttrne shoestring.

In TIE oldsaays we made strings Of
calf-skin- Every farmer was an ex-
pert
We should cut a disc Of leather
three or four inches in diameter,
stick the point of sharp knifebiade
IN board. place the thumb nail the
thickness Of a match from it, and
quickly draw the string through the
opening. the perimeter being reduced
chs thickness Of a match at every
measure of the circumference. Pretty
work. Then the square string was
rolled between the sole of the shoe
and the door till perfectly round,
utter which 1t was creased with tall

Such lace would last for months,
but their shine soon wears of, CIV

NOSES IN JAPAN

The nose plays a very important
part in Japan, owing, probably that a
difference in noses constitutes bout
the only distinction between one Japa-
nese and another. The nose is the. only
feature which attracts attention. AS
there are very few large noses to be
found in Japan, lady with large
nose is regarded as one specially gift
Cd by nature. She is invariably o
reigning beauty and the envy of her
less favored sisters. In all Japanese
pictures in which ladies are portrayed
the artists are particularly careful to
make the nose of liberal dimensions.
