GIVES NEW TURN TO CHARITY
H-r
Wealthy Australian Left Bequests
' Meant to Encourage the Healthy
and the Young.
A wealthy Australian squatter, refer
Mit,chel of the Upper Murray district,
has left 600,000 pounds for various
public purposes, says thfe Living Age.
Oho third of his estate is to be de
voted to married women not exceeding
tl'ilrty years of age, British subjects
and bona fide residents of the common
wealth of a white race, and not the
offspring of first cousins.
They are to be selected on a basis
of physical excellence, cheerfulness of
disposition, knowledge of the protet
tant Bible and skill In housekeeping
and domestic economy.
The rest of the estate Is devoted
nVntnly to prizes for military and
naval competitions. The donor agrees
thpt gifts for the weak, sick and all
ing are commendable, but believes that
more lasting 'good Is accomplished by
encouraging the healthy and the
strong.

was torn from his breast, leaving his

and
Tour education begins when whnt to
called your education is over when
fou no longer are stringing together
the' pregnant thoughts, the "Jewels
flve-words-long" which great men have
given their lives to cut from thu raw
material, but have begun youiself t I
work upon the raw material for re- '
suits which you do not see, cannot

No roan lias earned the right to In

to lay his course by a star which f
has never seen to dig by the divin

never rencli. In saying this, I point
to that which will make your study
heroic. For I say to you In all Had
ness of conviction that to think great
thoughts you must be heroes as well
as Idealists.
Only when you have worked alone
when you have felt around you a
black gulf of solitude more Isolating
than that which surrounds the dying
tnaii, and in hope and in despair hae
trusted to your own unshaken will
then only will you have achieved.
Thus only can you gain the secret
Isolated Joy of the thinker, who
knows that, a hundred years after
he Is dead and forgotten, men who
never heard of him will be moving
to the measure of his thought the
subtle rapture of a postponed power,
which the word knows not because
It has no external trappings, but
which to his prophetic vision Is more
real than that which commands an
army.
And If this Joy should not be yours
still It Is only thus that you can
know that you hiive done what It

Assertion Made That Anecdotes Com
pose by Far the Greatest Part of
Conversations of Americana.
For hours a group of men will talk,
and all problems fall like ducks on a'
rifle range before their well-aimed
epigrams. It may be n brilliant ses
sion, but we cannot forbear thinking
that not many serious thoughts are
expressed with fervor, that few hon
est emdtlons hnve adequate utterance.
A gathering often is devoted to anec
dotes, quips and the cracking of
Jokes, like the biblical thorns, under
the conversational pot.
Of course, much conversation is nec
essarily anecdotal, but two travelers
who meet In the smoker of a train
crossing our American plains do not
tell anecdotes merely, says the New
York Sun. There the nnecdotas tnke
on more meat and grow in length
they become tales. Again, however
learned we are, we forget our pedan
try when we talk In .a smoker. Yet
over a meal among those we know
and will meet again we slough off
our Impulse to modesty and sincere
self-expr(3slon and launch forth In
all our drab erudition or else we
sparkle In anecdote and say nothing
to the point; forgetting that the best
Jests, aside the point, scem'Tpolnt
less. In short, there Is not nlwnys enough
confessle conversation between
Americans. In France and in 'Latin
America the art of conversation has
become an art of confession of the
confession. Indeed, of one's faiths, foi
bles and fancies. As for us, we feel
that no one Is so sympathetic per
haps, as to merit listening to our
personal histories, or. what is more
to the point, the emotional accom
paniment of these histories.
WRITER'S RIGHT TO BORROW
ORIGIN OF POPULAR SAYINGS
Many That Have In Time Become
Household Words Can Be
Traced to First User.
"A red-letter day" Is an expression
which arose out of the old ecclesias
tical calendar, in which festivals and
high holidays were printed In red ink.
These important days consequently be
came known as "Red-Letter Days"
heuco the term today. "Murder will
out" Is a phrase which Geoffrey Chau
cer originated, although In the first In
stance It was spelt "Mordro wol out"
"Truth is stranger tiiun Action" U a
well-used saying, and perhaps It Is not
generally known that it was originally
employed by Byron In his "Don Juan."
"Escaped with the skin of his teeth,"
It Is Interesting to observe, originates
In the Bible Job, chapter 10, verse 20.
"Field" originally meant land on which
trees had been "felled" or "Held.
"Necessity Is the mother of Invention"
Is well over two and a half centuries
old. These well-known words were
first found In Frunck's "Northern
Memoirs," written In 1058. "Katen her
out of house and home," a phrase, In
view of the present price of food, un
doubtedly repeated by worried house
wives, was originated by Shakespeare
In his "Henry IV." "Anything for a
quiet life" Is an expression which aroo
from a play by Mlddletou, bearing that
title. "Turn over a new leaf," by the
way, waB first used In the same play.

'.An absent-minded man IS reported
from Cape Breton. One day while
hauling atone the noon whistle blew as
he was about to dump his load. How

On another occasion he was mull

he was about 14 miles from his start

his horses and walked back for the
