Animal Life on EUsrest

Animal life, it appears, is to be
found on high mountains far beyond
plant growth. The highest growing
plant that the Mount Everest expe-
dition of 1924 observed was the blue
vetch, at $4,000 feet, but animals live
at as great a height as $4,000 feet.
"A minute and inconspicuous black
spider" says member Of the expedi-
ton, hops about on rocky cliffs and
hides beneath stones In those bare
places that happen to be swept clear
of snow by the wind. cannot think
on what 1t lives at such a height. In
these attitudes there is no other llv-
ing thing-nothlng but rock and ice"
This little spider is worthy of note
as being the highest permanent in
habitant of the earth.

Abbotsford was the name given by
Sir Walter Scott to his residence ON
the banks of the Tweed, from a tradi-
ton that the abbots Of Melrose forded
the river there In times past. The
house was begun In 1917 and cOmplet-
ed In 1924. II is chiefly interesting as
the home of the poet and novelist, and
contains several valuable relics. Sir
Walter had lived at Abbotsford about
year when financial reverses over
took him through the failure of his
publisher. Although liable for about
100000, the author asked only for
time; and in Gve years realized for his
creditors the sum Of nearly 100000.
TO accomplish this he labored from
len TO fourteen hours day at his writ.
ing. Scott died at Abbotsford in 1882.

ReassurinR "Miss yones"

AS they boarded the train they had
every look of being a bridal couple.
The young man carefully escorted the
young woman to seat, while the in
terested passengers smiled lndulgently.
Then, extending his hand to the sup
posed bride. he said, In a very loud
voice, well, Miss Jones, the train is
about to pull out. l wish you q very
pleasant journey" and doffing his hat,
he hurried off the train,
But the young woman seemed nerv-
Gus. By and by she called the porter,
and in a whisper gave him some mys-
FERROUS message. He came back in a
moment and said In a voice audible to
every one: "Yo' all right, ma'am.

EnRIand's Area Lncreasina

A continual war with the sea Is be-
ing waged around the British coast,
the contour of which Is continually
changing. A start was recently made
In Wingland, looking toward the rec
lamation of 500 acres from the Wash.
This was the district where King
John made his tragic journey across
the sand. At that time the sea, though
hemmed somewhat by the Romans,
came down to Wlsbech; but 1t has
been gradually beaten back. 1t is es-
timated that since the Norman con-
quest some 100000 acres in Lincoln
shire have been reclaimed from the
sea, or from the waters Of the fen.
On no part of the English coast is &C
erection so predominant as In Lincoln
shire. Though erosion caused loss
Of 400 acres between 1S89-1o05, in the
same period there was a gain of e,10o
acres, now the richest soil In the coun-

due to time spent in developing his
legs, as some sharp critics have
said, but the Illinois university foot

Of reports that he has received some
very fabulous offers from men who
want to capitalize his name.

He shows himself possessed of
a view Of life that few young men,
suddenly become famous, would be
expected to have. It's natural for
youth to accept the plaudits of the
crowd, unfearful Of the future
with no knowledge of the response

years.
Fame is as eXacting as it is tickle

A LITTLE TALK ON THRIFT
BY S. w. Straus, President
American Society for Thrift.

At this time of the year much at
tention, and rightly so, is being given
to the subject of charity in our
various cities and towns. Campaigns
and drives are everywhere in pro-
gress for those who are in distress.
In this commercial age, it is we'll
that these softening and mellowing
factors are brought into our daily
life. In the rush of business and
other activities it is natural to grow
thoughtless of those who are in need
of help and no community ever will
go amiss in giving attention to
philanthropic activities.
1t is not out of keeping with the
occasion, however, to bear in mind
that much of the poverty and want
in the world is due to lack of thrift,
and that the spending of time and
money on thrift education is an
excellent way of preventing human
suffering.
An ancient savant, discoursing on
the subject of philanthropy, wrote
that by aiding a man $50 that he may
earn an honest livelihood and not be
forced to the dreadful alternative of
holding out his hand for charity
this is the highest step and the sum-
nit of charity's golden ladder"
Encouragement in the practices of
thrift is the best way to anticipate
charity by preventing poverty"
There always will be those who
through accident, illness or some
other misfortune or through their
own folly are dependent upon the
aims of others. But, just as large
percentage of fires, illness and ac-
cidents can be prevented, so a very
large part of dependency on charity
is preventable.
To alleviate suffering and penury
is an act worthy of the highest COM
mendation. The quality of mercy
is not strand, it droppeth as the
gentle rain from heaven upon the
rlace beneath"
But to forestall poverty by inspir-
ing thrift is even more praise
worthy. II is better to prevent
suffering than merely to alleviate it.
