Days of Life Should
Not Be All Routine

Life consists Of days, not years.
Days are all that we're sure Of Too
many OF us drift along and forget the
approach OF that final event called
Death. Time Is everlasting but you
and have only tiny bit Of 1t, Her
bert n. Casson-writes, In Forbes Mag
azine. What we would do, we must
Go quickly. Time Is the stuff that Life
Is made Of. There Is nothing In the
world SO precious and so scarce as
time We have no days to waste. We
need every one Of them to build our
lives with. No one, ever, has too many
days whenshe comes to the end of his
life. That is why we should not allow
day to be all routine That Is why
we should always put to good use the
two or three hours before bedtime
That Is why we should end every day
with a little friendship, or music, or
study, or fun. or family sentiment.
Never day without a laugh, except
when sorrow comes. Never day with
out book Never a day without
friend. That is the way to be sure,
every evening, that you have come to
the end of perfect day.

NelU Ideas in Mental
Tests for Children

In some of the elementary English
schools, today, mental tests are made,
and gauged by the quickness shown in
solving certain problems presented pic
torially. One test, known as the Por-
teus maze, measures temperament as
well as mind. Eleven mazes graded
progressively in difficulty, are printed
on separate sheets, and the pupil Is
told that they show the paths in a
garden surrounded by walls He must
find his way out by the quickest route
The showing made depends on the
pupils ability to work under pressure
and to withstand distraction by unes-
sentials In the material or by noises In
the room. A cube imitation test in
wolves the touching Of four numbered
cubes In certain sequence as indi-
Gated by the teacher, the combinations
of numbers being made more and more
difficult Each test gives a certain
score, and by combining the scores the
mental age Of the pupil Is arrived at
Single tests are of no value. The tests
Of London boys and girls between the
ages of eight and thirteen showed some
interesting sex differences The girls
excelled in memory tests and the boys
In reasoning.

Centuries Haze Seen
No Change in Hanme,

Recently an old hammer was found
embedded In mass Of concrete to
which was attached a piece of Roman
tile. From the broken crockery found
with 1t, there is no doubt that ii
must have been Roman hammer dat
ing from the Second or Third cen
tury. The fortunate discoverer of this
interesting relic was carrying 1t off
in triumph to his Office when he hap
pened to pass workman mailing a
carpet with what Is known as an up
holsterer's hammer This, on inspec-
tiOn turned out to be an exact rep
lica Of the Roman instrument, ex-
cept that 1t was very slightly smaller.
The bevel on the inside Of the claws
of the nall wrench was the same. The
same number Of rivets was used to
attach the head to the wooden handle,
and these rivets were fxed In exactly
the same positions. AS 20. W." writ
ing Of the incident in one Of the
papers, remarked: $50 with all our
vaunted progress, there seem to be
some things which, having once been
designed to meet a special need. can
not be improved upon so long as the
need remains the same"

Light on Biblical Authorship

An Egyptian tomb in western
Thebes, 1t is said, has furnished eyi-
dence that the writer of the Book of
Proverbs is indebted for some Of his
passages to an Egyptian named Amen
emopel, who, according to records,
lived hundreds of years earlier than
the Bible author A comparison Of
the two passages referred to follows
that of Proverbs L: Incline thy ears
and hear the words Of wisdom and
apply thy breast to my knowledge
For 1t is pleasant If thou keep them in
thy breast; If they are ready, all Of
them on thy tongue" incline thy
ears and hear my words and apply thy
heart thereto to understand them
Good Is it If thou dost set them in thy
heart, but woe to him who trans
crosses them. Let them rest In thy
breast that they may be key to thy
heart. So may they be the key to thy
tongue. Family Herald.

MORE PRODUCED
By Labor But Bosses Not
Yet Satisfied, Declares
Textile Workers Head

New York -'The vast quantity of
propaganda paid by textile manufac-
turers who recently reduced wages is
false and malicious" said Thomas F.
Mcmahon, president of the United
Textile Workers.
THE consuming public is told that
New England mill workers must dou-
bic their production if the industry
is to remain in this section of our
country None know better than
those making these statements that
the per capita production of the tex
tile operative today is twice, and in
many cases three and four times,
what it was one year ago, without a
corresponding wage increase.
Today the weaver is forced to pro-
duce from 300 to 400 per cent more
work than 20 years ago, with an in
crease of 100 per cent in the cost of
living during that period. 1t is ap-
parent that all machinery improve
ment is TO enhance the capital invest
ed and not for fair division among
those who make increased production
possible. The human element is dis
regarded.
when we consider the difference
in the product of New England mills
with 20 years ago-not only in the
grade and style of fabric, but in the
enormous difference in value-we are
astounded at the continuous howl of
wolf by capitalistic textile barons.
If dividends and the cost of man
agement were maintained at the same
relative cost that labor was main
tanned during the last 20 years the
financial condition of our mills would
be much better than at the present
time"

Her AMiction

Little Millie had achieved great sue
cess at her school, and was being
moved to higher grade. Needless to
say, her parents were pleased with
her and anxious to hear how she
would get on In the new class.
When she returned home at lunch
time the first question her mother
asked was this:
swell, darling" she said, "how did
you like your new teacher?"
"She seems very nice" replied NIL
lie, "but can't understand all she
says"
How Is that?" asked her mother
Does she talk too quietly?
"Oh, no, mummy" returned Mile,
"but"-with the air Of one who knows
II think she's got a predicament In
her speech"

Old Age ReUerenced
Among Eskimo Tribes

Old people are held In great respect
among the Eskimos, and their counsel
Is always considered They help as
far as they are able in the household
work, the old men repairing weapons,
harness, etc, and the old women In
sewing and tending the lamps.
In times of scarcity, as In winter,
meat and oil are always shared
around. Directly a seal or deer is
brought in 1t is cut up and sent to
each needy family In times Of plen-
ty each family is supposed to provide
for itself, but old people, widows and
orphans have always the first claim
upon those who have the means
Among these people mutual kind
ness Is general obligation. A wild
ow or orphan child is never left
alone, but taken into the house and
family circle Of the nearest relative.
The widow gives her services in re-
turn for food and lodging and cloth
ing, and the child is cared for exactly
as the mans own offspring.

British Bird Sancfuariss

Farne islands, off the Northumbrian
(England) coast, have been handed
over to the national trust for preser-
yatiOn as bird sanctuary. The Is
lands number Is, and have an area Of
80 acres. The regular breeding pop
ulatiOn includes gulls Of three spe-
cies. terms Of four, auks Of three.
cormOrants Of two, waders Of two,
and one species of duck. The islands
form one Of the most southerly sta
tions In the breeding range of the
elder duck. The most interesting
species, perhaps, is that Of the ro-
seate tern, now found only In few
British localities. AS breeding place
for sea fowl the Farne islands have
no equal around the British coasts,
and even the great bird stations
among the Scottish isles lack one or
two Of the species represented here.

Sand Feet for Clovns

Stills usually employed by circus
clowns to give them gigantic stature
during their antics In the rings have
feet OF sand to aid the performer in
walking and to maintain his balance.
The poles are Of stout hickory fiat
tened and widened at the tops to At
the wearer's thighs and fitted with
straps to hold them In position.
Toward the bottom the props are
rounded and tapered, ending in soft
shoes filed with coarse sand which
are fastened on the sticks so that the
heels support the points. Wide trou-
sers or other apparel cover the stills
for their full length, and the clowns
appear to walk on their heels.-Pop-

Rritain'a Constifufion

The constitution of Great Britain
many Of whose principles form the
foundations OF about every free con-
stitution in the world, is an accumula
ton Of statutes, customs and decisions
The Magma Charta. granted in 1915
by King John, may be regarded as a
starting point. Other salient features
are the petition Of rights and the dec
laration of rights, the habeas corpus
act, the act of settlement. the fran
chise laws and the practices and GUS
toms respecting the responsibility Of
government. The sovereign would ac-
cept or decline gifts Of small value or
Of no political significance, according
to his own wish or judgment. but a
gift Of very considerable value would
not be accepted without the advice
and consent Of the ministry.

Monk Man of Learning

The epithet Admirable Doctor" was
bestowed upon Roger Bacon (1214-
1922, an English monk of the Fran
ciscan order. He was without doubt
the greatest philosopher of his time.
His great work, the Opus Majus, was
written about 1885. and first printed In
1888. 1t treats of nearly all the
sciences. He was accused of practic-
ing black magic; and in 1878 council

committed him to prison in Paris,

IS 1T MOVES?

A RECENT authority on surnames
= tells us that Noyes Is one Of the
names derived from the Old Testa-
ment, and that no less a character
than Noah Is sponsor of this name.
The popular form of the name was
Noy, from which 1t is easy to derive
Noyes and Noyce.
Some members OF the Noyes family,
however, have different theory as to
the origin of their name. They trace
It to Meyers, a place in France. say
ing that old forms of the name were
Noiers de Noies and de Nouiers.
The first of the name In this coun.
try were two brothers, Rev. James
Noyes. who was born in England in
1902 and his brother Nicholas. They
came TO this country in 1884 In the
Mary and John and the next year
settled in Newbury, Mass. Rev. James
Noyes was minister there for 20 years
He enjoyed quite reputation for
learning, being something of Greek
scholar, and he wrote a catechism
that was widely used in his days.
He is spoken of in old records as
'one of the greatest worthless of his
age" The house in which Rev.
James Noyes lived has often been
spoken of as the oldest house in
Massachusetts.
Among the descendants of Rev
James Noyes are a goodly number of
clergymen and scholars, but 1t is for
Its able bankers that the Noyes fam
uy is chiefly distinguished
Rev. James Noyes and his brother,
Nicholas, were sons of Rev. William
Noyes, rector in Wiltshire, England
1t is said that he traced his descent
to Normandy and that his name was
originally Noye.

numerous surnames derived from

shop had its sign by which 1t and it's
