There are innumerable rules for pre-.

mon sense. Muscle and health are
not the same thing. Some Of the most
athletic men I have known worried
most about their health.
Hardly anything is worse for health
than fussing about 1t. Probably just
fusslng-pointless fretting, stewing
and boiling over-makes as much
trouble In the world as anything else
Particularly, I should say, fussIng
about ones nelghbors; raging and
fretting because other persons will
not do what you believe they ought to
do, or think or vote as you would
have them. 1t is worth while to grow
old II only to learn the peace that
passeth understanding which comes
merely from a willingness to let other
persons alone.
Perhaps only experienced age can
concede, with a free and unfretfu
heart, that its nelghbors have a per

clothes and hang them over the front
porch railing to dry If they wish to.
Having achieved that state of mind,

1t was over at last. Keith took her
home in taxi-accompanied by
Mary. What would they say and do
when she was no longer with themf
She had never dreamed that she had
such n rampant Imagination.
She cried ON her pillow like a little
girl. For she knew now that she
loved Keith. How else could she feel
than the way she did?
1t was terrible next day. They
were nearly through dinner when her
father remarked casually:
Keith said he was coming up this
evening"
That was all, but the world whlrled
in rosy waves.
Mother was kind.
IF you want to fix up a little, dear,
I'll do the dishes. There aren't many.
Mrs. Dix cleared everything up be-
fore she went home"
Nobly, however, Angela did her
share. Then she flew to her room.
She did her hair over and stuck a
comb In 1t, she freshened up her face.
she put on her newest and bluest
frock. And then she looked at her
self, long and critically, In the glass.

She felt his eyes appraise, realized
that the mere fact that she had
adorned herself for him meant some
thing new and delightful to him
Never before had she paid him the
compliment Of such attention.
He rose from the davenport, smiled

Wonderful Organ

The monster organ at the British
Empire exhibition is one Of the most
amazing instruments in existence It
contains 5000 pipes, ranging from
81 feet In height to 8 feet 8 inches. II
has FIVE manuals with 70 stops, and
more than SO miles of electric wire
have been used in connection with Its
pneumatic action.
It can be heard perfectly all over
the stadium, even in Its quietest mo.
ments, and its tonal effects are ex.
cellent. The reed stops, trumpets and
tubas are on very heavy wind pres.
sure, 80 that It will be possible to pro.
duce a special fineness of tone and
quality.
For its size II ia a very sensitive
instrument. An organlst will be able
to get out Of It remarkable varieties

Great Not All From

Who would have expected that Coll

the quiet pastures? Genius matches
her offspring In strange places" Very
humble homes are the blrthplaces of
mighty emancipations, once said the
late Doctor Jowett.
There was little farm at st. Ives,
and the farmer lived a quiet and un-
sensational life. But the affairs of
the nation became more and more
confused and threatening. Monarchl'
cal power despoiled the peoples lib.
critics, and tyranny became rampant.
And out from the little farm strobe
Oliver Cromwell, the ordained Of God,
to emancipate his country.
There was an obscure rectory at Ep-
worth. The dolngs In the little rec
tory were just the quiet practices Of
simple homes In countless parts Of
England. And England was becom.

life was demorallzed. The church

rectory strobe John Wesley, the ap.

Mony ard Varied Are
Forms of Solutdtio1

We say, How do you do" when we
meet an acquaintance. The Egyptian
says, How do you persplre?" A Chi
naman's first concern is for his
friends stomach. and be asks II he has
eaten his rice, In like fashion other
races and peoples have their own pc
cuiar, and to us quite remarkable,
forms Of sulutation
On the islands near the Philippines
natives seize the foot of persons they
wish to greet and with It gently rub
the face. The Moors kiss each others
shoulders South Sea islanders and
Esklmos rub noses and exchange gifts.
In Dahomey the, inhabitants salute ac-
quaintances by twisting the knuckles
of the fingers until they give forth a
loud resoundlng snap.
In ancient Rome where every man
was warrior, "How Is your
strengthT was the customary form Of
salutation.
There Is Mohammedan precept-
Koran, chapter Iv-that says, when
you are saluted with salutatIon, sa-
lutte the person with better saluta-
ton, or at least return the same, for
God taketh account of all things"
II would be difficult to improve on
the Frenchman's greeting: II am
charmed. and enchanted to meet mon
sieur!"
In Spain friends greet each other
with the words, "Gentle sir, you are
welcome" When parting they say,
"God remain with you !" or "The bles.
sed angels bear you company
The Germans ask, "How do you find
yourselfw When guest arises from
the table they express the hope that
he has had hearty meal and that
he will find himself the better for the
cheer of the repast.
The Italians have three different
forms Of salutatIon: For the morning,
"God give you good day" For the
afternoon, God give you health y
For the evening, II it's late, God give
you the goodness of the nlghtW
In England, up until the Seventeenth
century, the kiss was the common
form of greeting to acquaintance AMI
strangers alike. Shaking the hand
was a mark of very close intimacy or
high favor.

British Museum Mail
Yields Rare Articles

The mail man with the most inter-
esting route in the world is the one
who drops his bag at the British mu-
scum each morning. And the con-
tents of that bag make far and away
the most extraordinary postal delivery
received by anyone in England.
Each delivery is a veritable grabbing
In curios. Gems, stones, arrowheads,
old books, rubbish, shells, bits Of
leather, fossils, postage stamps, live
animals, stomachs picked In alcohol.
coins, butterflies, weapons, bones
this is the sort Of ragbag collection
which the museum officials discover
with almost grotesque excitement
upon opening the mail In the morning.
Though there Ia seldom anything OF
decided value, the mass Of stuff Is
always sorted out and weeded care
fully for any rare and valuable curio.
Most Of the senders expect no ac-
acknowledgement or reward--in fact,
there is no return address on many
Of the parcels. Evidently they do II
for fun. But Is It? Ask the postman.

The Jaundiced View

Richard lie Gallienne, the poet and
essaylst, said at dinner in New
York:
"our young novelists are not Ms
good as the old ones we're. Our young
novelists-their books don't sell, by
the way-thlnk that all you need to
do to be great is to take a pesslmlstic,
almost obscene view OF life. They
take this view the more easily be-
cause their books always fail.
"These young men are worse than
the millionaire whose daughter said
to him:
"'Oh, father, what a generous block
Of oil stock you are giving me for my
twenty-flrst birthdayP
Eyes said the old man. Tt will
buy you a husband, a divorce and
gun, and after you kill him and the
other woman It will pay for your
trial and acqulttal.'"

Height of Children

American boys are taller by at
least two inches than we're young
sters Of the same age fifty years ago,
according to DIR. Horace Gray Of the
Institute for Juvenile Research In
Chicago, who has measured more than
one thousand boys Of American-born
parents, between six and eighteen
years OF age, and compared their
heights with those Of boys measured
In 1877 by another scientist. The ap.
parent increase In height is attributed
chiefly to the newly acquired knowl
edge concerning the control OF dis
ease. Infantlle affections, which FIRE.
quently impair growth, are said to
be more amenable to treatment now
than they were in the past

Hard won. but shortly worn, were
the laurels of him who brought fame
to Chicago by the prowess Of his
mighty Jaws-jaws which set worlds
record for chewing gum by masticat-
ing forty-four sticks at one time.
Henry Williams, nineteen years old,
Of Baltimore, Nd, read about that
and surmised that he might do better.
He did by pushing In forty-slx sticks
before he had a mouthful. The chewed
gum was examined to see that no I'M

It, and 1t was found to be all that
could be desired. The forty-slx were
reduced to one mass Of Elasticity,

Unfortunate Letter

In English the letter "e" occurs most
frequently, says Frank II. Vlzetelly,
the dictionary sharp. But It Is the
most unfortunate character in the
alphabet because It is always out OF
cash, forever In debt, never out Of dan.
ger and In hell all the time. It has
Its bright side, too, for 1t is never In
war and always In peace. II Is the
beginning of existence, the commence.
ment of ease and the end of troubled
without 1t there would be no meat,
no life and no heaven. It is the
center of honesty, makes love perfect,
and without It there would be no edl.

pressed in the lines, however, Is much
older, and may be found in the early
