PoIiteness

Ruth and Marie were standing on
the front walk together Marie had
a bag Of pretzels, and they were seen
talking earnestly while Marie ate the
pretzels.
Finally Marie's mother called her
over and said In Ruth's hearing.
Don't you know it is not nice to eat
pretzels while Ruth is standing there7
You should offer her some. It is selfish
to eat them all yourself"
''Yes, that is just what I've been
telling her" spoke up Ruth, but she
would not believe me-"

Robert the Bruce

A little more than a century ago
three workmen digging in Dunfermline
abbey, Scotland, came upon a vault
containing a body covered with cloth
Of gold under folds Of sheet lead The
breastbene was found sawn asunder
1t was the body Of King Robert the
Bruce, whose dying request to have his
heart carried to the Holy land had been
obeyed by the Douglas. There are 10
royal graves in Dunfermline abbey,
and but for the murder Of James / at
Perth, which caused the removal Of

Ancients Had More Than
Fair Idea of Surgery

Evidence that skull surgery was sue
cessfully practiced by prehistoric peo-
pie in Michigan has been presented to
the American Association for the Adj
vancement of Science by Prof e. F.
Greenman of the University Of Michi-
gan. Pointing out that Michigan has
been greatly neglected as field for
archaeological investigation, he said:
in Alpena county, Michigan, sew
eral trephined skulls-that is, skulls
into which holes were drilled during
the life of the patient, have been re-
ported. One of them Is In the Univer-
sity of Michigan museum and careful
examination by anatomists of repute
shows that healing had begun after
the operation and therefore the area
of the practice of skull trephining
must be extended far beyond Mexico"

Alsatian Wolf-Dog Is
Terror to EuiIdoers

The dog most prominent in public
interest at the present time is the Al
satan wolf-dog. The Alsatian is pure
bred, being the offspring of the Wur-
temberg sheepdog and the sheepdog of
central Germany. These two breeds
have a particular way of sheepfolding,
and experimenters wondered If they
could blend the best strains of each.
This they did with remarkable success,
and thus appeared the German wolf
dog, which the police of that country
were quick to use as criminal hunter,
says Tit-Bits.
During the war these dogs rendered
valuable service, and after the armis-
tice, when the dog club was formed
by British officers, the name was
changed to Alsatian wolf-dog, a de-
scription which has now been adopted
by nearly all countries.

The cult of Shinto is no exception
to the modernization wave which has

great earthquake of 1928 At recent
meeting of the Shinto shrine recon
struction committee it was decided
that those shrines destroyed by the
earthquake fire should be rebuilt Of
fireproof materials. In Tokyo and VI
cinity, 1913 Shinto shrines were de-
stroyed. The estimated cost of re-
constructing these has been placed at
4 ,562, 1853 yen.

Story of Zoroosfer

Zoroaster was one of the great
teachers of the East and founder of
what may be called the national re-
ligion of the Perso-Iranian people, that
is, speaking generally, the Persians.
When he lived and taught is not exact
ly known, but it is held that it was
between the years 1000 B. c. and 600
B. c. He taught dualism of power,
one good and the other evil. Light
represented the former and darkness
the latter. AS corruption grew up, the
sun became worshiped as the great
source of light and, therefore, of all
good.
