Old Age Comes When
People Quit CrotUinr

Most people want to grow. They
would like to advance in their work,
earn more, have greater influence, do
bigger things. Yet, strange to say,
the world is full of people who do
not grow up" They have lost the
secret Of their youthful days. They
come to halt In self-development. and
folks say they are getting "old" But
q person Is never old until he quits
growing; and he need not quit grow
ing until the end Of his years. The
most conspicuous fact about. great
men--men who do big things, and
keep doing them-is that they never
cease growing. They are perpetually
young. They have the real thing. Of
which Ponce de Icons Fountain Of
Youth" was only an imitation. If a
man sets his heart upon growing. he
has but three things to do: First, he
must be learner all his life. Then,
he must be thinker-and must think
hard Finally, he must be a doer.
Some people are long on thinking, but
short on doing. They are dreamers.
Success and rewards always come to
the person who continues to grow, but
the greatest reward consists In having
found the secret that makes life con-
tinuously nteresting.-Forbes Maya
zine.

Majors Man Kae.v Ho,o

Major Latiner was probably one If
the world greatest technicians in the
art OF profanity. He tore loose wifh
his entire vocabulary when the virus
of the scorpion made itself felt. Tie.
he concluded he was going to die Is

CARVING dug around till he found

azine. The pain ceased immediately
and the major felt no further discon.
fort Thereafter we knew how to
treat scorpion sting. This may be
old stuff.
Another little. trick of Garvino was
to catch scorpion, hold it by the
head from beneath with thumb and
finger, and with his other hand tear
out the muscle that actuated the scor-
pion's sting. You know the scorpion
must Flip his tail up over his head to

this operation the scorpion was help

Writing on Pinhead
No Longer Nouelt,

Wandering about town one might
get the idea that America had de.
veloped new industry-that of en-
craving the Lords prayer on pinheads
The impression is strengthened if one
takes to visiting the regions in which
sideshows flourish. near town or along
the rustic routes of the travelling
shows.
Considering that the man who en-
graved the prayer on a pin a few
years ago was reported to have gone
bind and insane as a result of his
three years of application, one might
almost pause to ask If all this pin en-
craving were not dangerous. There
is no fear. however; the engraved pin
business has been placed on safe
ana sane basis, remarks the New York
Times.
The original pin was all that has
been said for it. On disk forty
seven one-thousandths of an inch in di-
ameter there were engraved IS words
with 254 letters, and nearly 1900 lines
had to be cut in doing it. The original
might conceiyably have got lost in a
sewing basket and gone the way of
all pins. But a die was made of it
no inconsiderable job In itself-and
the market is now supplied from the
die.

Many Volcanic Craters
in the United States

When we think of volcanoes we gen.
orally associate them with some for
eign country, but here In our own do
main we have within a comparatively
restricted area a group of 63 volcanic
craters This is In Idaho and the place
is called the "Craters Of the Moon"
because the landscape is so cold look
Ing and so barren of vegetation that 1t
resembles the landscape of the moon
as 1t seems to us when viewed through
a telescope While 1t is barren 1t is not
without color, for there is considerable
variation in the tints of the ground
which is covered with the frozen"
lava which flowed from these craters
a few hundred years ago. There Is one
field which is called the Blue Dragon
which is lava Of beautiful aurelean
tint and with polish as IL II had been
vanished There are cracks in the de-
posit at regular intervals and all of
similar shape, which makes the mass
resemble the scales of great dragon
These volcanic mounds are Of various
heights and some of interesting forma-
ton. with considerable variation as to
color. This field Is about three miles
wide and thirty long and has been re-.
Gently dedicated to the purposes Of
public park. While 1t is not exactly
x-cessible. 1t is not a difficult place to
get at and at the present tfns is
little known. It Is located betreen

crowd Has Personality
but Little individuality

1t would have been more to the pur.
pose if the critics had insisted upon
Walt Whitmans position as the poet
Of personality, rather than OF indi-
vlduality. These terms are commonly
confused in the minds Of most people
and even held to be interchangeable
In reality maximum Of individuai-
lty implies a minimum Of personality
and vice versa. The Individual, as
such, is necessarily isolated and there
fore devoid of personal ability to share
In the lives and fortunes of others
the truly strong personality is he VINO
is able most fully to share and under
stand the nature of those with wnom
he Is In contact and who correspond
lngly subordinates his individuality
to theirs And the same is true OF
crowds, as OF individuals. A crowd
has personality; it has little or no
individuality. 1t Is fact that CROWDS
In different countries reveal individ-
aal differences: thus an English CROWD
Is less excitable, restless, noisy, than
an American crowd; and a Chinese
crowd may be even more reserved, Tor
aught / know; yet. despite these acci-
dents, each crowd expresses certain
fundamental reactions, possesses GER
tain elementary desires common to all
humanity. Each crowd is at bottom
a vast reservoir of blind desire, vague
faith, dumb suffering; each crowd Is
composed of units that breathe, hope

ierentiation; each crowd Is at once

Tons of Food Served at
Feosts in Olden Times

Menus OF olden times, when kings
and robber knights served tons of food
and wine to their castle party guests
during feasts which sometimes went
on for weeks. have been appearing re-
Gently in German newspapers. which
marvel at the capacities to eat and
drink of individuals living 800 or 400
years ago.
An example Of feast at the court
of Hanover In the Sixteenth century,
when thirteen different meat dishes
were served, has been published re
Gently. The menu, compiled from old
court records, follows:
First section-Two kinds of wine
soups, baked singing birds, meat pie
venison, mutton breast. wild pork,
veal, roast chicken. boiled beef, two
kinds of fish. vegetables and wine
Second section-Lobster, trout, carp
picked meats, lamb chops, roast deer.
young roast pig, OK feet. artichoke, fig
cake, dessert, wine and brandies. In
those days 1t Is claimed that even In
the homes of persons Of the middle
class the dinner usually consisted of
six courses. each course constituting
seven to nine different dishes-De-

Heavy Drinking Marked
Festivities of Greeks

The festival of Dionysus had an i'm
portant- influence on the life of an
cient Greece, as well as on its litera-
ture and art There were four of
these every year, the Detroit News
notes. One was celebrated when the
new wine was tasted for the first
time and plentiful drinking was char
acteristic of this festival A great
banquet accompanied the festivities. A
feature of another festival, also in
honor of the wine god, was drink
ing contest. AT signal given by
trumpet, all who took part in it set
their pitchers to their mouths and the
judges allotted the victory to him who
first emptied his. The prize consist
ed of a skin of wine, cakes or some
thing Of that sort. Besides the public
banquet there were also private hos
pitalities provided for those who pre-
ferred to celebrate the day by them
selves in the circle Of few intimate
friends and at these also much drink
ing went on.

The midget Rubaiyat is only three
eighths of an inch wide and one-eighth
of an Inch thick. Letters in the book,
even on the title page, are so small
that they can be read only with the
aid of a powerful magnifying glass.

fireproof curtains.
In It's natural state the glass sponge
Is covered with these long silky hbers
which are used in the arts referred to.
A small tuft of these fibers covers the
base. The specimens are raked up
from the ocean bed. and the frame
work, which cannot be separated into
fiber for weaving, is employed in the
covering of steampipes and in cold

found equal to asbestos. Certain speci-

Proof Mark Placed on
Weapons Made in Europe

Spanish and German firearms usual
ly have, instead of the makers name,
a seal, frequently Of gold, depicting
characters-an animals and letters-from
which, If possessed of list Of such
seals, one might determine the manu-
facture of the weapon, and hence its
approximate date English and French
gunmakers, however, if marking the
arm at all, did so by placing theiI
name and that of their town on the
lock-plate or barrel or on both.
The marks known as proof marks"
were stamped on, usually by govern
ment Official, after he had tried out
and proven" the arm to be all right.
i i rule the method of proving was
% load the piece with several times
IS normal amount of powder and shot,
Il then discharge. the same. If it sur
siyed the test it was considered
proven" satisfactorily.
Thus, as different marks were not
adopted until certain date, one may
ordinarily be assured that an arm bear
ing them was not manufactured before
that date.-Detroit News.

Earliest Patriotic Song

The earliest patriotic song In Amer
lea which L. @. Elson has been able
to unearth Is liberty song adver-
tised in the Boston Chronicle Of Oc-
tober 16, 1893. Mrs. Marcy Warren
wife Of Gen. James Warren of Ply
mouth, Mass, wrote the words. The
tune was Boyces Hearts Of Oak"
Mrs. Warren began the old American
custom of setting patriotic verses to
an English melody. Yankee Doodle
antedated this song, but, says Mr..
Elson, not as an American patriotic
work. for originally 1t was a song in
derision of the Americans. The
Americans admired the tune, even
though it was used against them.
Early In our national career Ameri-
cans appropriated the tune of God
Save the King" AS early as 1T79 the
melody was adapted TO American use
sah Of patriotic verses having been
written to it and published in the
pennsylvania Pack" An "Ode for
the Fourth of July was written to
the same tune. and became very pop
ular. During the last quarter Of the
Eighteenth century "washington's
March" was the leading instrumental
work Of the American repertoire.

Psriis q ths Horss
Told BY Risk Company

Mark Twain once called attersiun to
the peril which surrounds bed since
SO many people die there. According
10 an insurance company, home is not
an entirely safe place either. This
concern learns from an examination
of its records that out of every 5S
accidental deaths nine take place In
the home.
Thus nearly one-sixth of the fatal
accidents occur in an environment In
which one might reasonably expect to
be protected from danger of injury.
Age, however, has bearing on the
situation. Children are in greater
peril than when they develop into
youth. and the danger increases as one
passes from middle age. Burns, falls
and inhaling poisonous gases are the
chief causes of fatal accidents In the
home
We are accustomed to consider the
peril which attends traffic in the street
and employment in many lines of in
dustry. The fact that it is impressed
on us may make us more cautious.
Thus many accidents may be avoided
which would otherwise happen were
we regardless of the danger. Because
we feel safe when within the walls we
call home, may in some measure be
responsible for the accidents which
occur there. Our surroundings being
so familiar the sense of lurking daa-
ger in an open fire, or loose board
on step, does not suggest itself.
After the damage is done we may per
ceive wherein we erred, but it is too
late to remedy the harm done. We
are never entirely free from peri;
whether at home or abroad, but we
are likely to have keener apprecia-
ton of it when away from home and
the opposite may be ones undoing at
home.-Pittsburgh Telegraph.
