Thought for Next Day
Has No Place in Congo

In many parts of the Congo horses
are unknown and the natives are as
terrified at them as at an elephant or
hippo, says Nine. Gabrielle M. Vas
sal in the London Graphic.
Though the food ration of the Congo
natives is most frugal, consisting
chiefly Of manloc, it is at least regu-
lar, and in this starving country is the
chief attraction to them and keeps
them as a whole cheerful and healthy.
The Congo population is always
hungry, if not starving; it is impos-
sible to sound the depths of their lazi-
ness and want of thrift. They never
think of the next day. When they
are paid they buy a white helmet,
tweed cap or knitted tam-o.shanter,
though their thick frizzled hair really
needs no covering. The reason for can
nlbalism in the Congo is hunger more
than anything else, says Nine. Vassal.

Thought He Was Singing

From the well-known big-game hunt
er, +. C. Cornell, comes the story of
how one evening he was returning to
camp in South Africa from prospect
ing expedition, unarmed and alone,
when, TO his horror, he found himself
stalked by three leOpards.
Knowing from experience that
most wild beasts are frightened by
the human voice." says Mr.. Cornell,

self, and repeated the dose every few
yards of the way back, until l was as
hoarse as a crow, and my yells began

Mankind Voinly Seeks
Natures Great Secret

We may be quite certain that Ma
ture holds In reserve causes of resur-
rection, as 1t also holds in its hands
the causes of destruction. For Ma
ture, time Is nothing An action which
requires q hundred thousand years to
accomplish is as clearly determined
and planned as an action which re-
quires only minute. Absolutely
speaking, eternity exists alone, and
time is but q relative form.
AS to our human personalities,
which are part Of this universal
direction, 1t would be of the highest
interest for US to know the essence
Of the soul. Each Of the constituent
atoms of our bodies is indestructible
and necessarily travels from one in
corporation to another.
Logic leads us to think that our vital
force, our psychic monad, our indlvid-
ual self, is equally indestructlble, and
more justly. But in what conditions
does 1t exist? Under what forms is it
relncarnated? What were we before
birth? What shall become Of us after
death?
Astronomy gives us the first reply
worthy Of the majesty of Nature. But
this reply cannot be merely the corol-
larry Of a psychological solution. Let
the philosophers initiate the astrono-
mers. Let them work with facts In
stead of Specializing with words, and
one day the veil of Isis shall be en-
tirely raised for our souls, which so
eagerly long for the truth. Positive
science, science alone, will reply: Life
Is universal and eternal."-Dr. Arthur
Selwyn Brown in the New York Her
aid Tribune.

Danger as Years Pass

AS the years 60 by we are all more
or less subject to two dangers, the
danger of petrlfcation and the danger
Of putrefaction; either that we shall
become hard and callous, crusted over
with customs and convention TIL no
new ray of light or of JOY can reach
us, or that we shall become lax and
disorganized, losing our grip upon the
real and vital sources of happiness
and power, writes John Burroughs.
Now there Is no preservative and an
tiseptic, nothing keeps ones heart
young. like love, like sympathy, like
giving ones self with enthusiasm to
some worthy thing or cause.

Hou Birds Rothe

The most elaborate dressers of the
animal world are the birds, all of
whom take baths whenever possible
Some of them use earth, sand or dust
When these find suitable spot they
scratch up the surface and then shuttle
backward, moving legs and wings and
working the grit right through their
feathers.
Most birds, however, are water
bathers. Some, such as the klngfisher.
plunge right in. This bird usually
dives from n branch, entering the wa
ter with open wings and making n
great splash. In addition to his morn.
ing toilet, the kingfisher has a com
plete bath after eating fish that lie
catches; so that he often takes a
dozen headers during the day.

First Use of Envelopes

Envelopes were not in common use
until about 1920. In 1925 Lamb men
tions the envelope and in Harry Lor-
requer," published by Charles Lever
In 1897, is this quotation: "The waiter
entered with small note in an en-
velope." 1t is claimed that envelopes
were used in France before they were
introduced in England, and there
seems TO be good ground for the claim.
When they first came on the French
market they were very dainty novel
ties and were made from the most ex-
pensive and delicate papers. They
were used only by the wealthy and
were considered a fad. They were
used by the public In England in o
limited way between 1880 and 1S39.-

Throw Hats at Candidates

The word "hetman" is title given
to the commander in chief of the Cos
sacks, annually chosen from among
their number The process Of selection
offers a contrast to the American Gus
tom Of figuratively throwing ones hat
in the ring as sign of willingness 10

the Cossacks 1t was the custom while
in assembly to throw their fur caps at
the candidates for whom they voted,

OId-Time Shoes

Henry VIII suffered from govt and,
Judging by their footwear, so did most
Of his subjects. Shoes became of such
extraordinary width that, owing to the
fact that England is an island and
space limited, law was passed for
bidding any one to wear shoes wider
than six inches across the toe. Eliza
bethan boots were the most ornate.
Worked in gold and silver, they cost
at least $50 pair. In 1888 the pres
ent type of shoe was evolved, and In
1865 buckles came into fashion; but
It was not until the Nineteenth century
that shoes were made specially to fit
the right and left foot.-From T. P.'s
and Cassell's Weekly.
