CHOOSING UPWARD.
Consider Woll Before You Open Ono of
These Doors.
“All tbe beauty and wonder of life
lie In the choice we make and all the
tragedy too.”
Every moment of our Uvea some
choice confronts us, and we are called
upon to use our judgment, our experi
ence, our faith, our self confidence, in
making our decision.
Going through life Is like traveling
down a long corridor which constantly
presents closed doors on either side-
alternate doors—one of which we must
open and pass through, irrevocably. We
cannot make use of both doors, nor can
we retrace our steps, nor even recon
sider our choice, once the latch has
been lifted. We must abide by our de
cision. There are no exchanges. We
must do ourconsidering before we
choose, not after. And the choice once
made, whether for good or 111, for bet
ter or worse, we must pay the full
price.
This Is well expressed by an old Per
sian proverb: “Take wbat you will,’
said the gods to mortals, ‘but pay for
it.’ ” This world 1s like a great balance
sheet, and tbe man has not been born
who has found a way to tamper with
the totals or to get around God. Life
holds us inexorably to our accounting
and carries out the final reckoning to
the uttermost farthing.—From the Nau-
tilus.
The Arts of Asia.
It was Asia, through Arabia, which
gave Europe the literature, tbe arts
and the sciences which we have devel
oped and of which we now boast. Gun
powder was probably Invented In
China. It was certainly introduced into
Europe from Arabia. The finely tem
pered steel of Damascus went over
from Arabia at tbe time of tbe Moorish
invasion of Spain, and its manufacture
was continued at Toledo. The copper
smiths of Bagdad supplied the world’s
market with their wonderful produc
tions centuries before there were any
industries In Europe. Weaving of silk
and cotton bad its birth as an industry
In Arabia, and the weaving of wool
was learned by the crusaders In the
same wonderful country. Astronomy,
mathematica, the mariner’s compass—
all came to us from the Arabs.
Bacon and Eggs.
Margaret is a th ree-year-old whose
parents are fond of bacon and eggs,

In tbe country she beard for the first

“Oh. mother." she exclaimed, "wbat
does the hen say?”
“Well,” her mother smiled, “I sup-
pose she says she has laid an egg.”
Margaret did not understand tbe
simile, and after a moment's profound
thought she came back again.
“And what does she say. mother,"
she Inquired more seriously than be-
