Spotlight of World
Turned on Minister

The minister Is looked upon as the
leader of the community. He stands
on high pedestal. The church atmos-
phere, the organ, the painted windows,
the silence, the solemnity, set him off
and apart from his fellows. There Is
something of enchantment and mys-
terry about him. Wisdom must flow
from the fountain head, and what the
poor OvertaXed man can give is mere
words, and sometimes dull ones at
that
He must stand little straighter,
keep himself alOof. talk dogmatically,
and be just a little above his fellows
That makes the minister a rather lone
some man, spiritually.
He cannot share himself with his
fellow. He must share the pretended,
artificial self with them. He does that
uncOnscIously, OF course. but that only
makes him a more unfortunate person
still He gradually Identifies himself
with the thing people think he is. and
his real If goes withering away, and
his real rrsonallty loses Its force and
character and signlficance.-A Minis
ter's Son, in Century Magazine

Bark "Wrapping Paper"

The ChOpi Tibetans retain their IN
dividuallty partly because they inhabit
inaccessible mountains. At their cap
ital, Choni, on the Tao river, lives the
hereditary Chinese ruler of 4S tribes
Of this people. He can levy taxes,
quell rehelliOns and administer punish
ment, but the Chinese say of him. "He
has the pigs head, bat cannot find the
door of the temple" They imply that
he is willing TO give bribes to keep
his position, but too many officials eX-
pect them, and he cannot tell which
deserve the largest. A recent study
of the province includes extensive
botanical and geological observations.
One tree, known locally as the "red
birch" is a boon to traders. 1t has a
shining, brown, papery bark, which
peels off in large, thin sheets. which
are used by Tibetans and Chinese for
wrapping butter and other food ar

Art and the Hoddock

On one of the piers in Portland an
old fishmonger told the legend of the
queer markings on the haddOck. Just
abaft the lish's gills are two dark
blotches, like bruises, one on each
side. And from each Of these marks
runs n straight dark line back toward
the tail. The haddock, said this fish
erman, was the fish with which Christ
fed the multitude Though that sounds
unlikely. This so annoyed the devil
that he tried to ayenge himself on the
species. He seized one, holding it
tightly (hence the bruise mark), but
it slipped away. The devils finger nails
made the long scratches on each side;
since when all haddocks carry that
pattern. And beauty, in any art, Is
just as elusive as that haddock. 1t

Excellent Idea Is
Umbrella "ExchGnge~'

Brussels appears to be the only city
which has a well-Organized umbrella
borrowing bureau. The annual sub
scription is low, but if every umbrella
user were to join such a society, its
income would be enormous.
The idea is rather similar to that
in force at the British museum, Ma
tiOnal gallery and other public insti-
tutions, where you are required to de
posit your CAMP before being al
lowed to go round the galleries. You
get ticket of metal, or a bone disk,
which will redeem your umbrella at
any time; only, in the case of the UNI
brella exchange, the umbrella is not
your own, but the property of the so
ciety.
Each member, on paying his sub
scripti0n, receives a token, usually of
metal stamped with an index number,
which he carries in his pocket instead
Of an umbrella in his hand When
caught by the rain, all he has to do
Is to go to one of the sOciety's agen-
cies. which are tobacco shops, restaur-
ants and big stores, and hand over the
token, to be Immediately provided
with an umbrella.
