When in doubt as to selection, abstain from food for a day and still your hunger with such salad vegetables which you as a rule care least for.

Spend your afternoons, your vesper prayer, out in the open, at some secluded spot. Take with you wholesome food, but try and make a salad from what nature offers you. Whichever place you go, even tho it be a place of rocks, you will find some wholesome blade or leaf to help you dispel the grief of imperfections.

INGERSOLL'S VISION OF THE FUTURE

A vision of the future arises. I see a world where thrones have crumbled and where kings are dust. The aristocracy of idleness has perished from the earth. I see a world without a slave. Man at last is free. Nature's forces have by science been enslaved. Lightning and light, wind and wave, frost and flame, and all the secret subtle powers of the earth and air are the tireless toilers for the human race. I see a world at peace, adorned with every form of art, with music's myriad voices thrilled, while lips are rich with words of love and truth; a world in which no exile sighs, no prisoner mourns; a world on which the gibbet's shadow does not fall; a world where labor reaps its full reward, where work and worth go hand in hand; where the poor girl, trying to win bread with a needle -the needle that has been called "the asp for the breast of the poor"-is not driven to the desperate choice of crime or death, of suicide or shame. I see a world without the beggar's outstretched palm, the miser's heartless, stony stare, the piteous tale of want, the livid lips of lies, the cruel eyes of scorn. I

see a race without disease of flesh or brain— shapely and fair, married harmony of form and function, and as I look, life lengthens, joy deepens, love canopies the earth; and over all the great dome shines the eternal star of human hope.

SPONTANEOUS THOT WAVES

Realization is a state where "we have nothing more to ask for," but become resigned.

Moral and Manners are the gemini in society, and no man can afford to be without their chaperonacy.

Certain manners or customs of others may not appeal to us at first, not until we have learned more about cause and motive.

The Supreme Council and the Council of the League of Nations may not fill the bill of expectations entirely; nevertheless, any active engagement in sessions and considering of problems of world-wide importance suffice to prognosticate some influence upon future moves.

SHARP HAD ENUF.

John Sharp Williams is through. He quits in disgust. Although he could remain in the United States Senate as long as he wished, he is determined to junk his toga. He declares that the Senate is the most notorious gabfest in the world. In an address before the Mississippi Legislature the Senator declared that the long-winded arguments over the peace covenant were like unto the fiddling of a Nero while Rome burned. The Senators wrangled like old women while the world was in chaos. The Mississippi stateman added: ' "I would rather be a dog and bay at the moon than to spend one minute in the Senate after the expiration of my term of office." There is no difficulty whatever in keeping the United States Senate up to its full membership. The office is very attractive to politicians, but it doesn't seem to offer opportunity for constructive statecraft."-L. A. Times.

Environment is a state that determines much in the daily walks of life among individuals.

CHIPS AND SHAVINGS

Now that the phenomena of radio-active substances and their radiations, or the riddle of transmutation of matter, is solved, it should be no longer so difficult a difficult a matter for alchemists to make gold out of the golden sunbeams.

According to a decision of an Illinois Supreme Judge, "a man's home is still his castle, even though it be amid the ruins of a brewery, and no reckless prohibition officer can invade the family ice box merely to satisfy his itch for spoil."

The discovery of America through Columbus cost Isabella seven thousand dollars, out of which three thousand were applied to the three caravels and the remainder for salaries, ship supplies, food and other incidentals connected with a great mission. Columbus himself received three hundred dollars per annum, while two of his captains drew a yearly salary of two hundred dollars each. "What fools these mortals be," some of us may say, but it is just such "fools" that make the world go around.
