Lesson of Forgiveness

with Leonardo da Vinci's great picture,
1.-The Last Supper" His biOgrapher.
tells us that while at work on his great
masterpiece the artist quarreled with
a man and vowed to take vengeance
upon him. While in this vengeful
mood he sketched the face of Judas,
but when he started to paint the face
of the Master he found he could not
give it the expression he so desired
until he had gone to the man against
whom he had vowed vengeance and
sought his forgiveness. When this had
been done, he was able to finish the
picture.

Easily Satisfied

Thomas did not like mathematics.
He had been absent when long division
in algebra had been developed. and on
his return to school. had been unable
to grasp the subject.
The day for the test came, and sure
enough, there was problem in long
division. Thomas copied it, studied it
thoughtfully for few minutes and
without the least attempt to solve it,
wrote underneath it the following
note: Dear Teacher-If you will give
me five on this problem I'll be salts
fed. Thomas"

Spiders Loue Music?

Do spiders enjoy music? A London
organist has noticed that every time
he starts to play the organ a spider
swings down over the keyboard by a
single thread of its web.
AS soon as the music stops he dis
appears. Either very soft or very loud
music also causes the spider to dis
appear.
During concert at Leipzig, a
spider seemed to like violin music.
During two violin solos, he dropped
down from chandelier by its wei,
but went back up again when the vio-
lin music stopped.

in the New York papers g. years ago.
The critics disagreed as to the mer-
it's of the drama. which had been seen
at Niblo's garden the night before,

come the most popular play of the
century. Since then thousands Of

Value Of Courtesy

Courtesy is the one medium Of ex-
change that is always accepted at par
by the people of every country on the
globe. Courtesy radiates spirit of
good feeling and suggests that we are
not working entirely for the material
returns of work, but for the friendly
human associations as well. Life is
not too short, and we are never too
busy to be courteous.
Courtesy is the outward expression
and an inward consideration for 9TH
ers is always an effective lubricant
that smOothes business and social re-
lationships, eliminating friction.-Phil-
adelphia Public Ledger.

Brain Work and Sugar

Brain workers lose more sugar from
the blood during their toll than do
manual workers, according to recent
experiments In Czechoslovakia. 1t is
not known just why this happens. but
1t Is thought 1t may be through some
process in the liver. Brain workers
are particularly liable to colds. and
the Czechoslovakian physicians suspect
this may be due 10 the reduction Of
their blood sugar.

Mrs. Nagger had married wealthy

She was bored with life
Sometimes she said one after
noon to Mrs. Holland. who had
dropped in for tea, sometimes l feel

Mrs. Holland shook her head sadly,
then suddenly frightened.
"Well, there's spite, my dear, there's
spite"

Candlestick Symbol

Albert Churchward, in his "Signs

"The seven candlesticks with lighted
candles, we have no doubt, were intro
duced by Moses as representative
type Of the Seven Glorious Ones-that
Is, the seven stars of the Little Bear
originally in Stellar Mythos. We have
at the present time the same In use
