That a noted New York com poser of music was compelled to carry on his work io his bathroom in order to escape the clamor of three pianos, three banjos and a talking machine in an adjoining apartment exemplifies the disadvantages of the collective dwelling where the rules d@®& lax or lenient. One of the highest achievements in the development of character is to reach a point where one is noiseless. It is the apex of culture, a plane little lower than the angels. Not to be loud in voice, in action or in clothing, not to obtrude, that is the glorious ulti- | mate, | If it is a reform, it begins, perhaps. with care in not slamming doors. The slamming door is a bad sign, even though it be those on the corridor of a hotel where one has no social tes and where so many emphasize that fact on leaving their room at an early bour by the semblance of an explosion wak- | ing everyone within one hundred feet. —F.

GET PAPERS TO LONELY MEN How the Crew of the Cross Rip Light- ship in Nantucket Sound Re- ceives Its Mail. - One of the most unusual newspaper deliveries on the Atlantic coast is that by which members of the crew of the Cross Rip lightship in Nantucket sound receive their daily papers. Al- though the lightship Is almost in the center of the sound, a rough piece of water in stormy weather, the men re- ceive their papers nearly every day, says an exchange. The “deep sea” delivery is made by one of the island steamers, usually the Sankaty, which summer visitors to Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket know well. These vessels pass close to the Cross Rip Hghtship on their way across the sound, bound from Oak Bluffs, Martha's Vineyard, to Nan- tucket. The daily papers are delivered on the outward bound trip, which begins at New Bedford. When the island steamer is almost half way across abeam of the small bundles of papers, tying them securely with twine and line them selves ulong the rail. of the steumer brings his vesesl as Ee ete sade eto cte ste neetentectenteetontectenteedeatoedoae orden te stolonosto efecto sloatesloeeocdontonio cients PePoG> | close as possible to the lightshin come- Speaking Directly Into the Transmitter Clearness and distinctness of speech is of course the foundation of a satisfactory tele- phone conversation. The transmitter of the telephone is the result of years of study and experimentation by telephone engineers. It is of delicate adjustment and its fullest effectiveness can only be obtained through proper use. The lips should not be more than an inch from the transmitter, and the voice should be clear, not loud, Speak directly and distinctly into the mouthpiece. This will mean your ¥atisfac- tion and that of the person with whom you are talking. The Pacific Telephone And Telegraph Company The helmsman | | tires within 15 feet, and the news- | paper deliveries let go their volley. | It is a poor day when half a dozen |rolls of paper do not land aboard for ‘the men so far from land and other- | wise newsless. Sometimes the bun- dies drop alongside und are fished up | with long-handled nets. How Airplanes Aid Exploration. Several hitherto unknown lakes and | Fiver valleys have been discovered tn | Jasper park, Canadian | through the use of government air- | planes, says the Montreal Star. This | work was undertaken by the High Riv- er air station, Alberta, and three ex- perimental flights were carried out over the region fer the purpose of ex- ploration and reconnoisance. The Ca- nadian air board report states: “A flight was made on each of three sue- cessive days with gratifying success, and the possibilities of the use of air eraft for exploration in mountain regions, and in the administration and the general maintenance of the park system was proved without a doubt.” Why Egyptians Are Hopeful. Egypt is looking for better times on | the steength of 2 tradition that pros- | perity always comes after seven lean years. She has just gone through the proverbial seven years and a returo of prosperity ts anticipated in a flood of tourists. In these seven years, how- ever, great changes have taken place in the matter of the water supplies of some of the larger cities and also in the matter of transportation. Travel- ers will find it much more comfort- able to get about than heretofore. The motor car has been extensively in- troduced and the marin roads have been improved for them. Why Eat Starchy Foods? Why do we eat starchy foods fried in fat when we know that the fat sur- rounds the sturch grains and prevents | the digestive fluids from reaching them? Starches are carbohydrates. Their digestion I started by diges- tive juices In the mevth. Fats are not | digested until they reach the intes- tines. Hence the layer of fat which surrounds the starch particles In fried foods is not broken down until it is too late to digest the starch, Butter and olive of! are fats which are emulsified in the stomach, and foods fried in them are not considered indigestible.—Popular Science Monthly. Why Auto Driver Speeded. Who wins the world prize for ex- cuses for motor speeding mude to po- ice court judges? Certainly, a man | in El Paso deserves consideration. A | local justice of the pence let him off |on his plea that the speeding took | place on a road past a hog farm. the | odor of which was making him Ill, so he had to hurry. FORCES OF CIVILIZATION A great man has said the forces of elvilization are these: Strong arm of government, ministry of religion and the humanizing work of education. This is all very true, but it does seem that the forces are growing weaker. | The second has not been having the effect it should. It is respected but not followed, and nine-tenths of the woes and sorrows of man can be traced to this fact, says the Ohio State Journal. Religion upholds and strength- ens every good thing. It denounces every bad thing. But its power Is thwarted. For some reason even smart men elude Its influence. This is largely because they think it ts a doctrine or a creed; that some church into their heads. It 1s a false view. Religion is not so constructed. It Is the sunrise, the sky full of stars, the noble aspiration, the kind wish, the helping hand, the courageous duty, the sympathy for misforiune. If any wish to pin all these things onto a doctrine or creed or form of worship, the better to realize them, that is their privilege and duty, but because one does not incline to he has no right to be irre ligious or let on to be. Nearly two million acres of land | during the last four years, The | acreage is equal to that of Middlesex, Hertfordshire, Pedfordshire, Bucking- hamshire. and Berkshire combined. It ils a sign of the times, for the old order of landowner, with vast estates, is rapidly passing away, and instead present. Bat if anything in England | sharpens a man’s perception of the duty he owes to his neighbors it is the privilege of holding a bit of land, and the new owners are likely to find their path less rosy than did their predecessors. The ccy of the taxation of land values is not dead; It is only stifled for awhile. Eighty-seven per cent of the average person's education Is acquired through the eyes. An educational expert telis this to a senate committee, discussing movie censorship. Until recent years knowledge could be transmitted to the brain, through the sense of sight, only by reading printed type, traveling or watching instructive happenings. In possibilities, the movie is scores of times more powerful than any of these. The possibilities so far have | been largely neglected.

When good government is provided for the Chinese people there will be ho objection on the part of the powers to the removal of those “limitations of sovereignty” which may offend the amour propre of the Chinese politi- cian, but are at the present time ob- viously necessary for the safety and protection of the foreigners who dwell in China, says the Hong Kong Press, and it may be added that these limita- tions of China’s sovereignty have been found to afford for thousands of Chin- ese, including the present prime min- ister himself, a safe and peaceful har- bor of refuge in times of trouble. Professor Nieotal, who fled from Germany during the war, has just been fined 200 marks for trying to in- cite an insurrection in the kaiser's army. The full measure of Germany's resentment for this treasonable act can only be appreciated when the present value of a German mark is considered. Those fellows with chemical extin- guishers who put out flames that were enveloping a truck loaded with sev- eral hundred gallons of gasoline did something as brave as capturing a machine gun nest, though it is pot likely they thought of anything beyond mere duty. Just 48,000 American soldiers were killed on the battlefields in France during the war, and during the sume period 91,000 were killed by motors ip the United States. Moloch ts more spectacular in his operations, but Jug- gerpaut outwinds and outbutchers him. It seems to have got to the point | or however limited his fleld of action, can make a public statement without being “mindful” or “unmindful” about something—the contagious effect, no doubt, of eminent example. “Made in Germany” may not pro- | duce any great impression among our tradesmen, but the “maid in Germany” is impressing our soldiers at Coblenz right along. Cuba wanted $50,000,000 and got $5,000,000. The smaller loan has one advantage; it will be easier to pay, and there will not be as much Interest. DOES AWAY WITH NUISANCE New Style of Scissors Built So That Blade Can Be Renewed When Dulled. Sharpening tools or getting them | sharpened, is a great nuisance to the average mortal, and we are led to suspect that one reason for the suc- cess of the safety razor is the pos- sibility which it introducés of dis- carding the old blade in preference of getting it in order again. And just as this is the first real improve- ment in razors since old King Louis the IXth—or was it the XIth?— where no statesman, however broad | What Do Repairs Cost?

The thin razor-like blade which screws on to the backing provided by the heavier part is the sole business member of the scissors under the new dispensation. The advantage is even more pronounced, we should think, than in the case of the razor; for one can sharpen a razor blade ac- ceptably, if one is put to it, but we have never yet seen a scissors prop- erly sharpened by an amateur.

RAINBOW SHOES The latest fashionable shoes in London and Paris are of all the colors of the rainbow, most striking to the eye. Bright blue and red, sometimes with uppers of contrast- ing hues, are favored for street wear. One shoe manufacturer of- fers boots with fur-trimmed tops for women, Another, Russian “gaunt- let footgear,” with red silk tops aud laced with red ribbons. An- other, red boots with crisscross straps finished with paste-diamond but- tons. A fourth, patent-leather shoes ornate with red and green de- signs. Shoe heels of imitation tor- toise shell, or set with amber or mother-of-pearl, are novelties. Some of the women’s boots have hand- | painted toes.—Pittsburgh Dispatch. | Guest at Country Hotel—Where‘ is the chicken I ordered for my din- ner half an hour ago?
