JADE CARVING. © PRBARHD~ 93 ICouncil in Japan Passes on Form for Carving. When an unusually large plece of jade is found in China, there is called |a council of artists to determine into 'what. shape it had best be carved, as, owing to its extreme hardness, the form selected must follow somewhat the outline indicated by the natural formation’ of the specimen, says the Christian Science Monitor. The artist chosen to perform the delicate task is not altogether to be |envied. It is true that, if he succeeds, he wiil be highly honored and re- warded, but success depends upon his work being approved after it has been subjected to public criticism for a whole year. If, at the end of that time, his work should be condemned, his reputation as an artist is irre- trievably lost. The task -itselt is no 1ight one. With a thin plece of finely tempered brass wire, the artist may work for a week without having anything to show. Twenty vears have not been considered too long for a single piece of carving. : ——————— A government official says that_there are 48,000 rattlesnakes in the Rocky mountains, but it is extremely doubt- ful wheéther any of them will ever learn to .play. & .harmonicay ., SATURDAY, APRIL 28, 1923.

Study the per- sonality of any man you know to be magnetic, in the sense of attracting others and exercising a marked influ- ence over them, and always you will find him _self-confident, ~enthusiastic, vigorous and sympathetic. “It is also through habitually thinking vigorously, ' courageously, cheerfully; through habitually main- taining a manfully erect posture, at once expressive of vigor and creative of it. Such'a posture, I may add, is also expressive and creative of that other prime Ingredient in personal magnetism—self-confidence. “Sympathy is of paramount impor- tance in the developing of personal magnetism. The most confident en- thusiastic and vigorous of men will find his influence over others dimin- ished in proportion as he is deficient in human sympathy. This being so, and sympathy being in itself one of the most precious of personal assets, its acquisition should be sought by all.” CLEARING HOUSE REPORT.
