The Nachville Banner's paragra jrapher takes comfort in the fact that he has never seen one of them with the sign, "Ye Olde Blynde Pi." The 4-H clubs might add to their Membership by enlisting some of those who hve been sojourning in Hot Happy Hospitable Houston. The Democratic convention's harmony was slightly marred by the four bands playing different tunes at the came time. For the benefit of unmarried la dle, who are prone to proscrastinate, they are reminded that leap year is more than half gone. Hmltd Their Leader as More Than Haman ' Capt John Nicholson, hero of the ! suppression by the British of the Se poy revolt In India, was worshiped as god by the royal sikhs. At his (aide, ready to his hand, hung the Bnest sword In the land, selected by alkn leaders after months of search ing and Inti-lCiite tests. Often a na ,tive, overcome with the conviction that Nicholson was divine, would prostrate himself In adoration, al though the ponalty for this offense ;Wi'4 three d;en lashes. ?' He ruled his troops with an iron band, and once ordered nine conspira tors to be blown from the mouths of cannons into the faces of the men of ;t regiment that had threatened to 'rebel It was said, however, that he would go into his tent and weep fol lowing such measures. Nicholson was mortally wounded ;tt Delhi in the engagement which .led to the capture of that city by the British. Par off In the hills the Nicholson fakirs, a tribe that had j made him their only god, heard of Ms, death. Two chiefs killed them-. : Mires that they mlr-lit serve him in ! another world, while the third led tali tribesmen to the Christian teach iers at Fesh&wur to be baptized. '.Detroit New?. Science Canyt Explain ' I Variations in Brains The brains of the great do not vary :'f0 greatly from those of the common jwlety as was once believed. Post llDortem examination of the brains of ;0. Stanley Hall, eminent psychologist; j81r William Osier, for many years an j outstanding figure in the field of medl- cine, and Edward S. Morse, widely Jomwb naturalist and zoologist, did ! not abow striking variations from the ! normal, Dr. Henry H. Donaldson of the Wlstar Institute of Anatomy and i Biology told members of the National i Academy of Sciences. They were, j however, slightly heavier than the j brain of more nearly average Indi viduals studied for comparison. The 1 variations In the form of the convolu tions," said Doctor Donaldson, "may jmean something hut they do not ex plain that for which explanation Is sought, for In their fundamental ; structure human brains are remark jably alike, and the variations In the convolutions are incidental, as the sev eral measurements show." f - ' ' Unusual Request' ' " j uatou UUJ, UUUUL IMC CU 1 3 . old, approached a man who was stand- ilng at the curb. "Will you watch me cross the street please?" the boy I i asked pleasantly. ' - The man was puzzled for a moment Then he understood. ; "Oh, you want me to see that you ifet across safely. Sure." ! There were no moving vehicles with- 'In two blocks, but the man accora- ;p0Jed the youngster across the "dan- !ger" eone. The opposite curb reached. ;th boy said, "Thank you," and inarched off to grow up, presumably, j lato a man who calls regularly on ; friends of the family and n?l;s plain IglrU to dance.

' Forgetful Auntie Sammy came down for breakfast on morning looking rather scared. He had had a most unpleasant dream, which he began to recount to the family at great length. and his voice had sunk to "n h- . presslve whisper, when he stopped j short and demanded or us aunt: "And what came next, auntie l . The lady looked puttied. "How should I know, Sammyr she asked. "Why," aatd Sammy Indignantly, "you were there, werent your Domain of Certainly The domain of mathematics. Is the sole domain of certainty. There and there alone prevail the standards hy which every hypothesis resjiecting the external universe and all observa tions and all experiments must Anally be Judged.

Talking A lady1 once complained to Joseph Addison, English essayist, that he took but little part in the conversation. Addison repl'ed: "Madam. I l ave but nine-pence In ready money, hut I can draw for a thousand pounds," And so it is that we will find many who are not talkative, who take but little part In the conversation, really have the most to say. They can draw tlmost inexhaustibly on the resources of the mind but it Is not their dis position to show off. Exchange. A Sun Secret A rather dull student found It im possible to believe that the enrtb Is round. In spite of the arguments of an eminent astronomer.. "But look here. Johnson," said the astronomer, "you must see that the earth cannot be anything else but round. Now. tell me, where does the sun rise?" "In the east, of course!" "And where does It set?" "In the west." "Well, then, how does It manage to get ba:k In the east again by the morning?" Johnson thought hard for a minute. Then an intelligent look dawned In his eye. ' "Why, of course," he said at last, "It just slips back in the night!" Twin Coincidence " Mary and Jane, sisters, were mar ried June 12. 1924. to John and Bill, brothers. On Christmas day, December 25, 1927, twins, a boy and a girl, were born to Mary and John. On the same day twins, a boy and a girl, were born to Jane and Bill.

Hide for Bat Dram Steer or cow hides are used In the manufacture of the larger size bass- i drum heads, calf on the smaller. A large manufacturer of drums says: "We had occasion to make an excep tionally large drum In fact, the larg est which was ever constructed some few years ago for the University of Chicago. This drum measured eight feet and some Inches, and the skin which was used for the head of this drum measured, when trimmed ready for mounting, 102 Inches. Our order for this drum CRlJed for as large a bass drum as possible, and, of course the size of the drum was determined by the size of hide which was avail able at that time. Our purchasing department mads a trip to the Cni.w stock yards of Chicago; spent three days at the stock yards looking over the cattle for these hides, and as the bass drum had two heads It was neces sary to find two Just nlike. The actual cost of this Instrument to us In other words, our factory cost was $1,100, which cost Included special tools re quired In the manufacture of this In strument" Positive Proof Mrs. Jones was one day accosted by a beggar whose healthy appearance startled even her Into doubt of the need of charity in this case. "Whyl" she exclaimed, "you look well able to work." "Yes," replied the beggar, "but I have been deaf and dumb for seven years." "Poor man! What an affliction," said Mrs, Jones, as she handed him a dime. On returning home she related the Instance, and remarked: "What a dreadful thing It is to be" deprived of such faculties 1" "But how," asked her daughter, "did you know the man was deaf and dumb?" "Why?" replied Mrs. Jones inno cently, he told me so 1" . V- A On a Diet "Yes, I'm dieting," said the woman who was growing quite plump. "You see I made a mistake In my Hp-reading at the Speech Readers' club the other day. The Instructor said (for us to read her Hps). "All those who would like to be fatter please raise their hands,' My lip-reading powers were poor thut day and I thought she suld, 'All these' who would like to go to France raise their hands,' so I put mine way up.

A route Is set apart leading from the church to the spot on the quay that has been selected for the ceremony, a carpet f straw being: laid down. In geneial. the day of the cereuiony is a bitterly cold one, but this circumstance docs not deter the populace from attend ing en masse. They arrive ou foot nud tu sledges and are attired In na tional dress. All horses are gayly caparisoned with worsted favors and tassels and niohur cars are similarly decked out. On the quay a layman Is actively en gaged In stirring a barrel of water to keep It from freezing. At ten o'clock, heralded by the blare of many brass Instruments, the ' priests leave the church, preceded by a troop of cav alry. With them are borne number of religious emblems and banners. The priests chant as they march to the quay, where they go through the spe cial form of blessing the waters of the country. Water so blessed ts then distributed among-the people and each recipient treasures the few drops that fall to his share. In Millionaire Class at Least for Minute Perhaps the Judge who . declared that there must he something wrong with people who write fiction, had Colonel Dey, creator of Nick Carter, the dime-novel character. In mind when he made the remark. Colonel Dey, according to those who knew him well, had not the slightest rgurd for the value of money. One day he wouldn't have a dime and the next, he would be comparatively rich, but neither state seemed to Influence him In the least It Is related how, on one occasion, he had two hundred dollars, all at one time. Did he save It? He did not Learning that a palatial yacht was for gnle at the cost of many thousands, he paid the two hundred as the Initial payment for It, knowing that it would also be his last. .With .that one magnificent gesture, he was a millionaire for about one minute. Oglethorpe' Forethought Ogletho.'pe was eager that his ex pedition to found a colony In Georgia should be completely successful, and when In November, 1732, his history making voyage was about to begin, he cast his eye over the supplies that had been taken aboard the good ship Anne. Ills orders had been Implicitly obeyed. Not only had ample food supplies been put lu the bold, but there were also agricultural Implements, household utensils, tools, weapons, inanitions and stores of all kinds that the col onists might need upon the rrrlval. Yet he was not satisfied, it would ,1 seem, for he Inquired how many fam ilies were sailing, end upon being told their number was thirty-five, he re marked that they were likely to need some mild liquid refreshment and or dered "ten tons of Alderman Parson's best beer" stowed below.

Origin of the Polka A Hungarian dancing master on a walking tour In the 1830s stopped at a small village In Poland where he saw a peasant girl dancing a folk dance that particularly pleased him He brought back the new steps to Prague, where the dance Immediately won great popularity, and named It polka for the land of Its origin. The polka was Introduced to Amer ica about a decade later, when James K. Polk was a Presidential candidate. Because of the similarity of names the polka became a campaign dance. Articles of various kinds were named for the dance polka scarfs, polka gloves and finally the polka dot Nice Men I greatly admire a nice man. He needn't have a great amount of money, or wit, or wisdom, or ability; If he Is agreeable, and fair, and po lite, and honest, and treats me decent ly, I admire him, he Is so unusual. I know such a man In Miami, Fla., and often go. Into Ids little store to admire him. He is not great, but 'he Is not a task to anyone. On the other hand, I often see a lot of poor kin hanging around he Is useful to. And he floes his share In community prog ress; neglects none of the simple duties a good dtizen should respect E. W. Howe's Monthly. Men's Inner Quality His Real Character A man I not born with some spe cial "sense" of honesty or any spe cial "moral sense" whatsoever. His skills of behavior are ull learned. A man may, therefore, be honast, not from any fine sensitiveness to human values, but became he has learned that it Is the best policy, But he has not learned even this policy with ref erence to the whole round of human associations. He has learned merely a certain set of . "safety first" hab its with reference to particular situ ations. And, even If we could add up all . these ways fif braving, one by one, they would &of makp f!)? prj-rss til the virtues alt' j uot be virtuous;" he may act vlrruUJ,V Bnj act honestly, aud yet b scoundrel. Is the assertion made, by Albert R Wtgsam, writing in tb World's Work. lor It Is not tho rx in Itself that dUtluKuishea the god man from the bud. but the Inner quality of the man himself as an o-.anlied and socially functioning ludhldual We may add up his ctiaraterlstlea, whether these be virtues or vices, but the algebrai cal sum Is not his character. Char acter doe not ctnslst merely In any set of actsi It involves, also, the In ner attitude of the man toward his acts and towards other whom be ex pects his acts will help or barm. Milton's Great Work . "Clattered Up Shop' Little Britain, near Snilthfleld, Lon don, own Its name to the fact that the duke of Bretagne, the province of France we now call Brittany, bad there a magnificent palace. In Stuart times It waa famous for Its second hand bookshops, aud It was while browsing amongst them that the carl of Dorset lighted upon several copies of au unknown work entitled "Paradise Lost," which the bookseller Implored him to help dispose of, "as there was no sale for them, and they cluttered up his shop." The earl bought a copy and was so struck with some of the passages that he sent It to Dryden, who returned It with the memorable opinion: "This man Milton cuts us all out, and the ancients, too," Making of an Artist Theodore Thomas had a boundless contempt tor the musicians who went about seeking to advertise their call ing In their dress and neckties. Once a nice young man with luxuriant locks, a long (lowing tie and other In signia of the tribe artistic Joined the orchestra. He was entirely Ignorant of Mr. Thomas' pet aversion. During his first rehearsal Thomas eyed the hirsute youth with manifest disfavor, and at the end motioned him aside. The famous conductor, with his arms akimboo, rtood and gated sardonically at the waving field ot hair. Then he laid a finger on the young man's arm and said with Do wiklnd accent: "Practice, practice not poraae'e makes the artist" The young man went out and asked the way to a barber's shop. Kansas City Times. Red Indian a Swimmer The bureau ot American ethnology says that the Indians are remarkable swimmers, and some of the tribes were In the water as much as were the primitive Polynesians. They swam six or seven different ways. Including treading water, and would dive to the bottom of deep water. A common In stitution among the Indians was the sweat bath. They would sweat In a specially constructed sweathouse, which was closed up to keep the heat In, and when they thought they had sweated enough would suddenly run outdoors, giving wsrwhoops, "throw themselves Into the cold water, and, after a while, re-enter the sweathouse to dry off, since they had no towels. Earth's Big Bulge As the earth's cnist Is by no means rigid It rises and falls under the grav Itatlonal attraction of the moon and sun In a manner similar to that of the ocean's tide. Various difficul ties hove bo far prevented exact measurements. The pressure exerted on spots of the earth's crust by the rising tide of the ocean Is another thing that makes It heave and fail. Atlantic tides have caused un observed earth bulge eight hundred miles away, and It Is thought probable that this Influence girdles the world. Pencil Sharpening A drawing master states that he Is often able to Judge the characteristics of his pupils hy their manner of sharpening a pencil. The artistic In dividual usually mnkes a fine tapering point, the buslneA-IIke person a short stubby one. Those who sharpen a pencil towards themselves on n thumb are often secretive. The untidy per son reduces his pencil-end to shape less Irregularity, while the very happy-go-lucky one hacks away In care less fashion and flnluheg with about half the length he started with. Great Novel Writers "Dubs" in Limericks A glimpse of that great old novel Ist.'and poet, George. Meredith, amus ing himself at the end of his days and cheating Infirmities by composing "limericks" In the vain hope of win ning one of the prizes offered by vend ors of commodities for the best "lim ericks" advertising their goods, Is giv en by Anthony .Hope, In his book, "Memoirs and Notes." Hope, Israel Zangwlll and . Herbert Trench were appointed a deputation representing the Society of Authors to go down to Box 11111 and congratu late Meredith, president of the society, on his eightieth birthday n 10Q8. The then "limerick" craze was mentioned during the conversation, and Hope confessed that he had tried bis hand at writing them without success. "I've sent In some, too," said Mere dith, unexpectedly.
