You will find that most builders, constructors, managers and others | whose duties require great activities are of the motive temperament. Sometimes mechanics have an attrac- tion for him, and If he has talent it may lead him into the inventive field. The active, practical individual who finds pleasure in strenuous work is of the motive temperament. He may be either a blond or brunette, short or tall, but he will not be fat nor will he be thin. He has wiry muscles, large bones and a strong constitution. The motive man {s sometimes stubborn and is ruthless in attaining his desires, whether in business, love or sport.

Over the country bowlders, an¢ ...‘i the old stone walls of Georgetown, the | lichens scrawl their runes. Year in and year out they are there; some times It seems as though they were eternal. Generations of men and women come and go, people who can remember where a big lichen has lived since their childhood, and always the lichen outlives the longest recollection. Yet it is only In Winter that we notice lichens, for in the green seasons thelr dull xage green tints are ob scured. John Burroughs once sald that the real wildness of nature comes out in Winter. Some of the more humble plantg, too, are able to attract atten- tion to themselves, when tree and bush stand leafless The lichen is a lesson for quarrel some humanity, for it is not one plant hut a strange alliance of two. In part it is composed of green algae, those tiny primitive plants that form the green scum of stagnant waters or the faint, damp. green tracery on the north sides of tree trunks. And in part it is a fungus, the strands of which intertwine with the algae. It seems that the fungi are parasitic on the algae, and vet the algae do not really suifer. Probably they really bhenefit, 100, in some way not clearly understood, perhaps as orchids benefit by the fungi which are parasitic on the orchid roots, yet assist the orchid 10 obtain its food.
