THE CORN IN GROWING. Corn is a sprinter. The cold, back- ward spring keld the crop back for a spell most iscouragingly, but the July reports from the corn growing states are that stalk is as high as is custom this .time of the year. Some weeks ago there was the wswal anxiety in re pective crop. dlsappeared. produced and Farmers sav 4 3 found the usual height. The Feurth of July Is the test for corn in Towa. It must be knee high at that time.

WHO THE BRIDGE FIEND IS. Society card playing has the imeait of being like all other card playing— where prizes or money are plavel for —only it is given a veneering of re- spectability because it is so oftea in- dulged in by polite society. Many ca:d players never get an inkling of the inside of the game. There iare prc- i | a living out of the business. It wii interest Bulletin readers to read the following statement made by cae of these professional bridge fiends: My reward as a practice pluyer of bridge whist in the summer months is $50 and my board,” said she. “To out- siders T am an invited guest.

The sporting world breeds a col- ored champion and then repudiates its own smart child. It ‘ought to be ashamed of itself! Zelaya is said to have increased Central Americ prejudice against republic.

Keep a song of cheer in your heart and the fog of despair will never envelope it. Get into the habit of paying atten- tion to the here and now and letting the there and then take care of itself. Do not be fretting over the dead past, but be striving in the living present. Why should we think that inanimate things are pursuing us to perm has-beens of life to become & drag upon us? You can't tell and no one else will try. It is so common to let the mind dwell upon the there and then, that old age has been recognized as long in the past—it talks of what was instead of what is. The person who gets most out of life is not counting the vears or even the enjoy- ments of life, but taking in the bless- ings every day just as if they belong- ed to him and the supoly was inex. haustible. Life is what we make it, because it is evolved by the mind ani we are the artists who furnish the palette. There are many toads in the garden this vear and one among them is more " inclined than the others to be social. He doesn’t flee when I come upon him but sits and looks by the balf hour. He is not garbed like the common herd, for the mottied pattern of his skin has underlying it a tawny vellow; and he is lighter colored than the rest; and he has a gold bar just above each eve brightly burnished. He is rather an intelligent looking fnem- ber of the Bufo family—he isn't so logy and doesn’t get too full to hop. In fact, he seems to be a sensible, good-habited, keen-eved helper with more than ordinary powers of obser- vation. Perhaps his opinion of me would be more interesting than my ovinion of him. His Interest in me has increased my interest in him. We may come to know each other better. What first appears like wild propo= sitions finally are shown to be prac- tical sense. In this wonderful age we are not vet wholly out of the dark. It always seems strange to me that the prophets who make the greatest impression on the human mind are those who foretell things dreadful— like the near destruction of the earth. When Nicola Tesla tells us that the age in front of us is to be a imore onderful age than this we laugh. We do not believe that electric energy is going to be transmitted by wire- less, that electric power generated at the falls of Zambesi in Africa may be used to run steamers up the Mississ pi river or to push steamships acre Atlantic Ocean! That houses in New Englang may be heated by electrical energy generated at Niagara Falle or airships be driven by this power. This is no wilder talk than that persons would be able to converse 500 miles apart, or that messages could be sent to ships on the great oceans. It can hardly be comprehended what the fu- ture holds for the comfort of the peo- ple. We poor souls cannot always prove what we know, any more than we can know what our best friend feels. In matters of mind we are isolated—we abide apart. It makes no_ difference whether the mind is dependent or in- dependent, its secrets are unfathom- ajle. Samuel Walter Foss, who is one of the true poets of America, was right when he sung: And the soul of men is a sunward wird With wings that are made for flight, To pierce the front of the shining day, And float thro' the depths of night. And T read these things in that Bible of God Whose leaves are the spreading sky, And the legible face of the dark green sea. With the eve behind the eye— For the Truth is not closed in the lid of a book, For its chainless soul is fre And never a bird In a wire cage, Tola these things to me. The soul should recognize its own revelations and be true to its honest convictions. What it can prove is not the thing, but what it can enjoy. An old robin and three well-fledged young ones come into the garden every day to follow the hoe, and they come very near in their search for worms. The young birds are wary, and good, strong fliers, but they still like to have the mother-bird feed them. They do not appear to have much fear of the cats: perhaps this is because they have confidence in their ability to es- cape should they be menaced. A pair of well-fed cats have neither the ap- petite nor the ag to make them dangerous to birds. Every tree has a catguard upon it, so they cannot climb the trees to worry the birds. The so- cdal nature of the birds surprises me. They seem to recognize their friends and come near in a glad-to-see-you spirit every day. The writer of the quirp that “the hardest thing a woman has to do in this world is to lock as young as she thinks she is,” might have also writ- ten that the mightiest task of man \s to make the world recognize that he is as smart ks he lIs. It is a fact that a duplicate for every weakness in one sex may be found In the other. The Almignty knew that there would be no living with a per- | fect man or woman, so he left that as the ultimate of evolution, and with ten thousand generations to | its credit the race is still far from its grandest achievement. The truth Is the world has no use for a perfect man or woman as yet. A perfect son ©of man is a son of God. and one such entrusted to the world was put te death. There would be nothing to preach about if the race was not what it is. It is as important that man should be occupied as that he should be perfect. Som. ple appear to think that the chief aim of life is to make a stic in the world. but they do not give the attention they should to the character of their stir-up. Those who believe in making a stir should see that it is for the benefit, not the injury of their fellow-men. Those who are stirring up things from pure selfishness usu- ally make matters worse for others in proportion as they make them better for themselves. The person who as a matter of principle wants to hava the world more enlightened and bet- ter than he found it, has life weil charted and what he does will be for the benefit of others. It is a worthy ambition to make life as pleasant ana profitable for all as possible. The prosperity that increases misery is nol what it seems to be. Have you ever wondered why wa £0 on teaching children that the world # round when every enlightened. and sent them filing out. School was over, forever, and the child was glad. Outside, an organ-grinder was grind— ing his organ and a hapless monkey was dancing for pennies. The child was _in Sue’s care, and Sue led her by the hand. She supposed Sue was lead- ing her home to Grandpa’s, but before they knew what they were doing, they two, with a dozen other girls, had follower the organ-grinder a mile or two down the road, and when e un- expentedly plunged into an obscure street, the monkey on his shoulder. they were sartled to find_themselves a long way from home and in a sec- tion of the city quite strange to them. The father of ome of Sue's school- mates- kept the county jail, and when Sue said she was afraid they were lost, this girl asked all the children to go home with her, the great stone jail being then in sight. The child said nothing. She was tired and home- sick, her eves ached, and she wished she had not come. But she did not know her way back to Grandpa’s, and Sue was dragging her along by the hand. From an ever increasing dis- tance, she could hear the dismal grind of the organ berating the air. “I get lonely here” he said, wvery I'm always glad when my lit- tle warden brings her playmates to daughter. “That's what he calls me” continued the gentle gingerbread—" “Yup, an’ doughnuts put in the girl . “And her friends to see me,” added. Sue now pushed forward to the bars, dragging the child with her. “Are you never going to get out?” she asked, timidly. Bending his gaze upon her and the child, “Take them all away now, little warden,” he ordered. “All but these two little ladies.” Then, to Sue, ‘What was it you asked me, my dear?’ “I—I forget,” faltered Sue. He smiled, a smile that illuminated his face. “Yes ™ he answered. “One day I shall go free.” s “Did you do—something dreadful?” ventured Sue. “They say I did. “But did you?’ she persisted. Then, ‘No, you did not, you could not. I— I don’t believe it.” How his eves brightened! He put out one hand through the bars and stroked Sue’s hair. One human be- ing to believe in me he murmured under his breath. “And the little one,” he asked. “Has she a kind word for me too?” The child burst into sobs. “Oh,” h cried. “I wish I could take vou on my knee and comfort you. Such a little one you are! When you are older, you will learn that the world is full of sorrow_and sin and— and mistakes. But what am I saying? You are a little one, They iould not have brought you here. The others will forget. They will go away and laugh. They laughed when they saw me—a man in a cage. TI will come again, and again tbey will laugh. But the little one is different. This will sink Iinto her heart. She will never forget.” He paused a moment, then went on hurriedly: “Little ladies, let me tell you something. I must speak it out— just once. People believe I did a great wrong. I-—I cannot prove that I did not. Sometimes men do wrong un- wittingly—in a heat, a passion, a frenzy—, even though their hearts aré not bad. My heart is not bad. Give me your hands to hold in mine, both of you. Thank you, thank you, my little ladies. Now I know you believe that my heart is not bad.” 'You make me think of my father,” said the child. “And my father is ‘There was the catch of a sob in his throat. He stooped down and pressel his face to the bars, close to the child's rounded cheek. “Ain’t yer comin’'?” ealled the girl from outside in the passage. “You are sure you are going to get out?’ whisperer Sue.” “Yes,” he answered gravely. “I am an’ apples,” he The jail was a queer old place. The jailor's family lived on the ground floor: overhead were the prison cells. The jailor’s daughter led her school- mates up stairs and showed them one cell after another—all of them empty. Then she led them up a flight of steep, narrow, ladder-like steps and ushered them into a great, bare, garret room, a dark, dusty, ghostly garret under the roof. There was nothing in_the great room, absolutely nothing. Suddenly, with a rough laugh, the girl pushed back a sliding door, laughing _ still louder as Sue screamed and_the child covered. her eyes with her hands. For, back of the sliding door, appeared a cage, a large iron cage, like a lion’s. There was a door in the front of it, big enough for a man to walk through, but this door was locked and barred and bolted. In- side the cage was a cot to sleep om, thinking human being knows that it isn't? It is all based on the fact that that on the ocean line—in the offing miles away, we see the masts before we see the hull of the ship. The law governing water gives it a convex sur- face. The water in a hand-basin or cup is not perfectly level. The ma- terial earth has mountain peaks five miles high an ocean cavities six miles deep. The contour of the globe —so-called—Iis that of a jagged mass; but geographically it Is round, because these peaks will come within an im- aginary circle. If the atmosphere in which we live is considered as a part of the earth, there isn't much doubt that the globe .clothed In it is round. But the fact that the earth is actually round cannot be proven, and this s why at least one intelligent cult hold together, still averring that the earth is flat.

Mixtures we all are of weakness and strength. Which shall we emphasize in one another and ourselves? Run over the list of persons whom vou know fairly well and concerning each, you can probably talk in either onz of two veins—you can say if you wish: “Jones is a fairly good man, but he doesn't stick to a thing until it is finished. He lacks tact. A hasty- tempered fellow he is.” And so on and s0 on. Or you can expatiate on him thus wise: “Jones is a fairly good and effective man. If you want somebody to start a new movement, he is just the kind of fellow for the job. He is full of original ideas and his enthus- iasm is always on tap. His hopeful- ness ls contagious and a mighty kind- hearted fellow Jones is, too. e goes out of his way many a time to lend a hand to somebody in mneed.” A new play by Thomas Dixon, call- ed “The Sins of the Father,” will be produced by Thomas H. Brennan next season. There you have your two contrasting character studies.” One is probably as_correct as the other, but what a difference in the mentai picture and how different would be the impressions conveyed to a man who did not know Jones at all, But are we not in duty bound to seize upon and “play up” the com- mendable quallties in our fellowmen rather than their weak points? Tha latter are perhaps more easily dis- cerned, but what's the use of dwelling on them? From the president of the United States down to the humblest day laborer each man has hie vulner- able points. Even men engaged in re- ligious work are about as human as the rest of mankind. Pastors, Y. M. C. A. workers, secretaries of bene- volant societies, Sunday school super- intendents and teachers—what a job lot they are when the missiles of criti- cism are hurled at them. “There is none righteous, no, not one. Granted, but suppose wa try the other tack. Let us take men as they are, not blame them for not being what they are not and kindly but firmly hold them to the performance of the duties in which they are effective and ‘to_the display of the good qualities which they manifestly posses: ‘Would that we were frank enough with one an- | other so that I, for example. could go to Jones and say, “Now, Jones, you are not cut out for a poet, and if I were you, I would not wastz much time on courting the muses, but, Jones, vou are one of the best house painters T know, !and I am recommending you to all my acquaintances. ‘Willette Kershaw has been engaged by Henry B.

The National Theater Owners’ asso- ciation has announced that Will S.

The New York Review states that Ruth St. De ‘has returned to America and is spending her summer at Delaware Gap, where she is at work on two new dances which she intend: to add to her repertoire. One of these is a Japanese dance, based on the Jap- anese conception of the creation of man. By reason of the locals and at- mosphere, splendid opportunity is of- fered for a scenic display. Miss St. Denis’ other new dance is ancient Egyptian in character. Per contra, said Jones would wun- doubtadly do me a great kindness if he would come boldly to me and say, “Now, Mr. Parson, you preach a tole: ably good sermon now and then, but you would better let somebody else run the music in your church and the finances, too.” And why should we not also study ourselves sufficiently to discover our own strong and weak points, and then fortify the latter if we can be certain- 1y develop the former to their utmost capacity. When the Pharisees sent to John the Baptist, asking him who he woas and | ting that he might be Elijah or some other prophet, he frank- Iy told them what he was, not as well as what he was. It is a rare achieve- wrznt when a man has disoovered not only his limitations, but his peculiar gifts and adaptations. Every man has them. They constitute hig individual- ity. They make his personality dis. tinct from that of the other billion of inhabitants of the globe. The world needs just what he and he alone has to give It. Let us be willing then to give what we have, what we are, and not mourn because Wwe cannot give something else. THE PARSON.

Fishers Island, July 7, 1910. KNEW VALUE OF GOOD WATER. Sterilize Fluid. The ancient Greeks already recom- mended the use of sterilized water. Rufus of Ephesus in the first century of this era taught that “all water from rivers and ponds is bad, except that from the Nile. Water from rivers which flow through unhealthy sofl, stagnant water and that which flows mear public bathing places is harmful. The best water is that which has been boiled in baked earthenware vessels, cooled and then heated a second time before drinking. Phis hygienic prescription was in- tended both for healthy and sick peo- ple, since it was applied to the armies. “During marches and in the camps pits must be dug successively from the highest point to the lowest level of the place. These holes should be lined with clay such as is used for making pottery and the water should be made to percolate through it. The water will leave all its impurities in these pits. It may be Inquired how the ancient Greeks, knowing the processes of ste: ilization and filtration of water which they applied to that of the most limpid waters, should have drunk with- out precautions the water of the Nile, which our microscopes allow us to declare “sound,” but which is in ap- pearance the most worthy of suspi- cion of all, and is so muddy, so yed low, that it resembles wine. WIDOWS MORE THAN HOLD OWN, Have No Trouble in Maintaining Ad. vantage In Matrimony. Sam Weller's immortal advice to his son still seems to hold good. Widows are still hard to beat in the matri- monial stakes. During the last year the spinsters have practically had it all their own way between the ag ©f 20 and 40, but after 40 it has been the widow who has scored all along the line, says the Philadelphia Record. They would seem to acquire, after their fourth decade has been reached, & way of dealing with man that prove: irresistible. The spinster apparently gives up to readily, takes too modest & view of her seductive charms whereas the widow, having a better knowledge of the frailty of the other sex, goes in and wins a second time. e Proving It. ‘When the earth com&s between the sun and the moon it always casts a round shadow. A place chosen for an experiment to prove the roundness of the earth “was near Bedford, Eng- land, where there is a straight six- mile stretch of water. At both ends and in the middle of this stretch of ‘water posts were erected, each of the same definite height above the water level. Upon looking with a telescope along the tops of these three posts it was clearly seen that the center one overtopped the other by about six feet, thus marking the curvature of the earth’ jurface.” This experiment has been repeated, and with every latest appliance brought to bear to effect absolute accuracy. The state- ment as to hew a ship at sea shows the tops of her masts first and then gradually parts below that, but above the water, is a familiar one, and satis- fles most mind The Cosmopolite.
