It ts the birth of a new day, opening its eyes like a new-born child to • new world. Every atom, every sphere and every cfeature is facing • threshold that has never been crossed. \ The old quiverfuls of arrows have been shot away. Time is handing out another sopply, selecting the sharpest and strongest for the hardy hand of youth, and urging youth to do its best, pointing to the dazzling paths that lead up and up,to Arcadia. 9- • • • Are you, young man "awd -y<mig woman, giving proper heed to Time's friendly admonitions? Do you in the early morning of your life realize the blessed privileges that are yours? Do you comprehend that this is the which yon must begin your liver the hills by every bowery Iward a loftier peak, which in flelightful dreams you are plc- ' of wealth, and power and fame? R-ou do. gird your quiver secure- |ok carefully about you and march the uplands nearer heaven, hold- ' firmly all the while to faith and and honor, as you go. not the lure of the valleys, the lade of the trees nor the purring paters call you back, when the sun iches the meridian, and the day waxes warm and^ drowsy. And at high 'noon, when the inclination comes to seek relaxation, and to side-step into fields of idle amusements. mind that you do not slip and go tumbling down among the failures. * * * If such desire confront you, summon ail your resolution, all the fine virtues that within you lie. and fare the way to Arcadia, though the outlines of the golden domes of the city do not yet appear. At this moment, you are at the turning point, when a single deviation -from high resolve, a step or two from the course you have been so faithfully pursuing, may rain your career and blast your fondest hopes. By passing the noontime of life in safety, you will soon come upon an easier path, and find no difficulty In wending your way homeward, where the ring and the fatted calf will be found welting for you, • witbtt^glad smites of loving friends.

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS :j ^ • ' ' "TAMMANY* WHEN political reports state that such-and-such a person is the "Tammany candidate" or that "the Tammany organization Is back of a certain move," the expression is understood to refer to a prominent organization in New York--but the fact that it receives its name from a noted Indian chief Is overlooked. Tamanend, the chief in Question, was the ancient, wise and friendly head of the Delaware tribe of Indians who, for want of a better candidate, was "canonized" by the soldiers of the American Revolution as the patron saint of the new country. The Tammany organization dates from May 13, 1789, when it was formed for benevolent and social purposes, but eventually became an Important political body, formally chartered In 1805 and opposing the socalled "aristocratic" Society of the Cincinnati. It was essentially anti-federalist or democratic In its character and Its chief founder was William Mooney, an American upholsterer of Irish extraction. The grand sachem and the thirteen sachems typified the president and the governors of the thirteen original colonies. The Tammany Society today ts a charitable and social organization, entirely distinct from the general' committee of the Tammany political body, which cannot use Tammany hall without the consent, of the society.

Cusisnts and Costumes «f thf Past ;^4md Present Mingled in KaMt doscopic Procession. The great highway which runs from the Khyber pass in the far northwest Of India to Calcutta in the Far East is a kaleidoscope of the colors and the customs of the past and present, writes Temple Manning in the Cleveland Plain Dealer. On this great road are to be seen ox teams, caravans and camels from Afghanistan dodging huge, snorting motor trucks and light American and European cars. At a glance one might think It all a circus en route, because even the elephants are there. Parallel to this road is a railway. One of the most Interesting places along the line 1? Lahore, the capital of Punjab. It Is called "The City of the Thirteen Gates." The railway station la Lahore resembles e fort, and so picturesque that one can almost Imagine it being besieged by ancient oriental warriors. On leaving the station one Is struck by the spirit of the place. It Is still the East, even If there are sandwich men advertising American* moving pictures. The bustling city, with Its crowded bazaars and towering mosques,- Is very beautiful. It is surrounded by lovely gardens, which form a green circle around the city, the only break being the-dusty section near the Ravi river. In Lahore is the beautiful palace of mirrors, where thousands of tiny mirrors, set in plaster, form the decorations of the walls and celling. Here a single candle will Illuminate the Interior with myriads of glisten1 ing lights like a many-sided diamond turned inside out. • The streets are crowded with the gayly-dressed inhabitants. AS in most countries, the color is given by the women's dress. The 'average woman of Lahore wears a white waist resembling a Russian blouse, spotless white trousers of the baggy Tjirkish variety, and last but not least, a waistcoat like a man's with checks--great big checks. The belles of Lahore weight down their^hands with rings, and also their noses. Sometimes the nose ring is worn jauntily in one nostril, In the same ^manner that a hat Is put on a rakish angle. Their arms are heavy with bracelets, and Invariably nowadays each girl's arm is adorned with an American wrist watch. The wrist watches are an amusing toueh, and dispel the oriental effect In the mind of the traveler who expects to see only what he has read of In old books. Some of our girls who think they are very devilish and advanced because they roll down their stockings or even wear socks, are behind the times compared with their sisters* of Lahore. For in Lahore the men wear stockings, ana for centuries the girls have worn socks. The Golden Goose. • An American says he is "skinned" and Americans understand him. The French have a corresponding word for robbing somebody outside the law, and this word is "estampage," and the French are becoming wise to the fact that France may be overdoing this tuking of Irregular toll from tourists and visitors. Except for one or two special resorts, touring In France has fallen off this year, and those who are thinking about this enormous source of income to the country are pointing out the evil of the incapacity of some and the rapacity of others. The word "estampage," by the way, is a dictionary word for punching holes in metal, and is commonly understood in France for overcharging. Britain Wants Own Beet Sugar. Before the great war Great Britain paid Germany, even upon a low computation, $35^)00,000 a year for beet .sugar. Great Britain now appears determined not to do it In the future, as there has been recently opened at Newark-on-Trent a beet-sugar factory which opens a new chapter in British farming annals. The factory, covering some forty acres in ay, is the result of co-operation between the government and the Sugar Beet Growers' society and Hoine-Grown Sugar, Limited, and is to be the first of five factories, which in turn may be precursors of the 400 that would be necessary to make England quite self-supporting.

In fact, in ancient times certain soothsayers protossed to be able to read a person's entire past, present and future from a study of the linger nails. If%jttie nails are short, bread rather than long, and the skin grows far ap on thein, you may read In them a. strong personality, but with a tendency toward too much criticism of others. The possessor will seek to itominate and control in circumstances affecting himself and his surroundings. He will be, often, a person hard to get along with. The type has its good points, of course; among them are order and regiUarity. If the nails described occur on spatulate fingers-- that Is, fingers which broaden at the end or tip--and the thumb is short, .the owner, man or woman, will have a passion for tidying up, arranging and rearranging his or her surroundings, seeking always to nttatn the per fectlng of orderliness. -Wj."'• 1 (Copyright.) „ .

He says : "One of the most amusing experiences I had at this time occurred a few days later. One afternoon they sent me another telephone and after thinking where I would put It, decided to place it in the Revere bank. After banking hours were over and nearly every one had left the bank, I took a man with me and we went over and connected up. Our burglar alarm department carried keys to all of our banks. Until this time every one had been greatly pleased to be selected as a telephone station, but the following morning a messenger from the Severe bank brought word that the president would like to see me, "I listened down there expecting *© receive the thanks of the president; instead. In a much Injured tone, he said: " 'Mr. Kolraee, what is that play toy you have taken the liberty of putting op put there in my banking room?' "'•That, Mr. Walley, Is what they are going to call a telephone,' I said. "'What's a telephone?' he replied. " "Well, Mr. Walley, you can ring the bell In my office giving a certain signal, and throw a switch and you can say to my office that you would like to talk with Mr. Ripley at the Hide & Leather, or Mr. Beyon at the Exchange bank, and We will quickly signal them and tell them that Mr. Walley would like to talk with them ; and you will Immediately be able to talk with them.' * "Mr. Walley simply gave a grunt and quickly said: "•Mr. Holmes,*yon take that plaything out of my bank and don't ever take such liberties again.' "The plaything was quickly removed and the Revere bank went on record as the first telephone disconnection." How They Feel. Tall men are constantly questioned by other persons as to "how it feels to be so tall." The correct answers came out recently in a conversation between men of various statures. They were foregathered to partake of the sirenlcal subtleties of tobacco, but before many clouds of smoke and words had penetrated space the inevitable .query was spoken by a Llliputian: "Say, how does It feel to be so tall?" Two of the giants smiled and the third was about to commit such a stereotyped reply as "It's convenient at parades. I can see over the heads of the people In front of me." But he didn't. "Although Fm six feet three Inches in height I never feel any taller than the people I am with," he said. "This probably seems strange to you, and it does to me, for I never thought of It before. I am conscious of being a giant only frhen I am among giants, and not always then unless somebody calls my attention to it. When I am among people about 5% feet tall that's how high, or rather low, I feel." The other giants agreed with the interpretation. . Turns of Fortune's Whisi. ,/ The other afternoon, says ParlB Figaro, a Russian admiral saw in a taxicab a gallant general of the heroic hours of the war, and on the open boulevard embraced him and gave him the kiss of petype. Another even more touching scene occurred in a modest restaurant of the left shore 'where the "students who study" meet. At a table three Polish women students' were installed. A waitress of rather advanced age drew near; despite h€f humble dress she had a lofty air. The students looked at her attentively, and suddenly one of them rose, knelt down and kissed the edge of her apron. This servant had formerly been a lady of honor at a court that .was wrecked In the most awful drama of contemporary history. Motorcars for the Desert. A proposal to link up southern Algeria with the Niger by motorcars suited to desert traveling is on foot. CaterpUlar-wheeled cars which can travel with equal ease across loose sand, snowfields, and over unequal ground will be used. It Is Intended to link up Touggourt, a terminus of the Algerian railway, with Bourem, on the Niger, about 155 miles to the east of Timbuctoo. The distance between these two places is about 1,800 miles through the desert. It is believed tliat the journey can be i~ade in a fortnight, at the rate of 125 miles a day. One of the tests applied to a car was In a hotel, where, carrying five passengers, the car climbed the stairs, turned round at the top, tuuL ,then came down again.

John Bunyan is the first recorded opponent of the kiss. Here Is what the famous Puritan wrote tauny moons ago: "The common salutation of women I abhor. It is odious to me in whomever I see it. When I have seen good men salute those women whom they have visited and that have visited them, I have made my objections against it, and they have answered me it was but a piece of civility.
