The Hwang Ilo or Yollow river, Chinese records show, once flowed through n rich fertile valley, Its tribu tary hills well wooded. Today It Is a broad moving quicksand with n small amount of wuUt most of the year, but when tho Hoods come the whole fnco of the landscape may be changed. In 1880 this river, which Is known ns "China's Sorrow," flooded somo 20,000 square miles of the most densoly popu lated lands, wiped out thousands of villages and towns, and drowned 2, 000,000 people.

''"" Old.Tlme Methods of Persian Bakers. Tho Persian nntlvo bread today Is little different from that used 1,000 years ago. Tho Persian oven Is built of smooth masonry work In tho ground nnd Is usually nbout tho slzo of a bar rel. Jinny ovens have been used for a century. Tho dough Is formed Into tuln sheets about a foot long and two feet wide nnd slapped against the side of the oven. It bakes In a few min utes. To Talk Through Telephone. Scientific tests show that every additional Inch of distance between the lips of the spenker and the mouth piece of the telephone Is equivalent to adding 120 miles of wire to tho line over which one Is talking. Tho proper dlslnnco Is about one Inch; If farther than that, such sounds ns "b, p, d, t, f, z" nre transmitted poorly. If closer than one-half Inch, nasal sounds like "m" and "n" do not enter the transmitter properly. Wood Lighter Than Balsa. The wood of a tree found In Pnna ina, Cavanlllesla platanlfolla, Is even lighter than tho celebrated balsa wood. The tree grows to an Immense size. The branches and leaves are at tho very top and the trunk. Is like a liugo column. The strength of the trunk Is principally In the thick fibrous bark, while the wood Is so fragile thnt It crushes when the tree falls. Modesty in Japan. The Japanese girl carries her head and shoulders slightly forward, and In clines her body forward from the wnlst. She walks with short, quick steps, her toes turned In nnd her feet hardly lifted from the ground. To walk otherwise would be regarded as Immodest. Columbus Dispatch. Independence of Solitude. It Is easy to live in the world after the world's opinion, It Is easy In soli tude to live after your own, but the great man Is he who In the midst of the throng keeps with perfect sweet ness the independence of solitude. Emerson. Highest Moral Courage. When you nre so devoted to doing what Is right thnt you press straight on to that and disregard whnt men are saying about you. there Is tho triumph of moral courage. Phillips Brooks. SI Poison Fish in South Seao. There is u fish which lies burled In the coral sand of tho South sens tho spines of whose dorsal fin are hollow like tho fangs of a 'rattlesnake. When stepped on It ejects a poison which kills or cripples the victim. Principle and Impulse. Impulsiveness would be a greater blessing If only we would use our Itn pulses lnstend of letting them use as. Let good Impulses have their rightful play, but let principle stand squarely behind them. Music's Great Value. JIusle is moral law. It gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to tho Imagination, n charm to sadness, gaiety nnd life to everything. Exchange. Even Tempered. Sho was well advanced In yeare, nnd had always been a fretful soul never happy except when sho had something to worry about. Notwith standing, alio was well liked by all who knew her. -at-:- . rfrjjjf J One day, to a nhce who was a fre quent visitor nt her home, sho said: "Berta, do you kow that I bellovo I am tkte tft ven-tempered woman In tho world." "Why, Aunt Jlanda," said tho nleco In unfeigned surprise, "how you do talkl" "Yes," sikl she, "I believe I am thfl most oven-tempered woman In the world, 'cnuso I'm U3 mad as the dovll all the time."
