The manner In which the United States avoids giving help to the Rus sian people Is unfailingly adroit. What has become of (he fellow who used to carry three silver dollars In his pocket just to bear them jingle? There are two types of schoolgirls nowadays, those who wear line clothes and those who are good In tlielr studies. Hlslng to one's feet when the na tional nnthem Is played Is rapidly be coming the first law of self-preservn-tlon. It Is no longer dollars to dough nuts, as the old saying had it, but dol lars for doughnuts, and plenty of them, at that. Marc Antony thought he was doing a great stnnt to make the stones of Rome rise and mutiny. But there are others.

PHILOSOPHER'S VIEW CF LIFE Lithuania claims to be the oldest nallon In Kurope and doubtless It would testify that never before with in Its memory has there been so much excitement. The Moy record on 320,000 troops moved to the United States Is all right, but at that none of the soldiers report Injured feelings because they were rushed home.

"Time 1 luive not accumulated n for tune, but 1 have bad work to do and I have earned a living. I Might say a comfortable living; and I have been blessed vvilli good health. And so for meall nature smiles and men are friendly and the world is a pleasant place to live In ; I talte a cheerful view :is a rule. "Hut 1 will admit that I do have spells, not of sheer despimdeucy 1 would not say that, but times when I am depressed, when things go wrong, when adverse happenings have all but discouraged me; times when I totally forget what we should In such days always remember, nf.mely. that there never yet was n storm but cleared off some time, to leave everything bright and sunshiny ns before; there nre times, I say. when even I, usually so cheerful, am downcast. y "When thus oppressed I flnd-great help En funeral processions, "As the silenin cortege passes I can not but reflect that 1 still have the one great priceless gift and blessing life, with all Its hopes and opportuni ties; and so, with all respect and sor row for the dad, In this presence my own petty troubles vanish, the clouds roll back and the sun comes out clear and strong again. New Tork Sun. STORK'S VISIT TO SCOTLAND Ussvd of Bird's Appearance In 1416 II y Be Found In Chronicles of the Country. 'riie white stork of the continent of Viirope, which Is encouraged In mort, and even protected In some, of Ihe countries to which It resorts to breed, and round which much story and leg end have gathered, has been known for centuries to be nn occasional vis itor to the British Isles, chiefly to Nor folk, hut very rarely to Scotland, though it has never been known to nest or even attempt to do so In Brit ain. However, a record of Its having nested In Scotland appears In 'lood ull's edition of the "Scliotchclionlcon." This work was begun by John For dun, who died about 1884, mill was continued by Walter Bower, the abbot of Inclicolm, It Is In Bower's chron icles for 1418 that the story appears. The translation runs thus: "In the year of our Lord, four teen hundred and sixteen, there died on the morrow of the birth of St. John the Baptist, Master Jumes Hiset, prior of St. Andrew's. In tills same year, n pair of storks came to Scotland and nested on top of the Church of St. (Hies of Edinburgh nnd dwelt there throughout a season of the year; but to what place they Hew away thereaf ter no ope knows." Commenting on this, Lord Lngle Clarke says: "The church of St. Giles, on which the storks nested, was a new stone "edifice commenced In 1387, to re place a former church destroyed In 1385, nnd some of It doubtless forms part of the cathedral of today."

In which the former discoursed on the conscience. The story Is told by Kip ling. He report's Twain ns saying: "A conscience Is like a child. If you pet It and piny with It and let It have everything that It wants It becomes spoiled and Intrudes on nil your amuse ments and most of your griefs. Treat your conscience ns you would treat anything else. When It rebels spunk It be severe with It, prevent Its com ing lo play with you at all hours, and you will secure a good conscience; that Is to say, a properly trained one. A spoiled one simply destroys the pleasures of life. 1 think that I have reduced mine to order. At least I have not heard from It for some time. Per haps I have killed It from severity. It's wrong to kill a child, but In spite of nil I have said a conscience differs from a child In many ways. Perhaps It's best when It ie dead."
