Nature la fine, but not na man la fine; Tet man is fine as Nature's para gon; She Is the sea hla spirit floats upon, She is the mother, heartless yet divine; No plummet ever sank below the line Of her unfathomed deeps, nor pierced her dawn, From whence all vital energy Is drawn; Nor from her night has ever dropped a sign. Her secret might, Inscrutable and vast. Propels the world’s and paints the violet, Creates the mind of man and In sect’s wing; With her. as Time, there Is no first or last; The sovereign signet of her seal is set, With equal care on chrysalis and king. To Quit 8anto Domingo. From the Des Moines Capital. Announcement Is made through the American State department that the American marines are to be with drawn from Santo Domingo on July 1. At that time the republic of Santo Domingo will be turned over to rely upon her own strength for existence. The United States has been occupy ing Santo Domingo for a few years In order to stop murder and to en force the laws. The United States has done this with marines. The marlnse as a rule are young men who are quick to think and quick to act. The American marines have worked under strict instructions In regard to their conduot. In one paragraph of General Dee’s Instructions we find these words: "Never start a disturbance with the Dominicans. If you want to fight put on the gloves'and start training for the next boxing meet; you will meet any number of men right here In your own camp who will give a more excit ing scrap than Dominicans will, and you can win a boxing belt Instead of bread and water. Carefully avoid any kind of trouble. Don’t start an argu ment with a Dominican because you don’t like the way he looks at you. Avoid trouble with them." Tenacity of Church Ties. From the Pittsburgh Gazette-Times. In the case of those in many branches of the Protestant Church who are In conflict with the letter of the creeds there appears to be a strange reluctance to depart and seek a communion wherein there would be no question of one's ortho doxy. Those who hold views at vari ance with the historic doctrines of their denominations cling tr> the con nection with astonishing tenacity considering that they are out of har mony with the creeds as ordinarily interpreted. The situation impresses that association and historic names forge bonds which few care to break. They prefer trying to convert the opposition to their views rather than seek association in a more liberal environment wherein such beliefs Os they may hold might be regarded a* conservative. Pullman Car Nama. From the Brooklyn Daily Eagle. The Pioneer was the first. Names of women were used, then flowers, birds, cities, towns, rivers, lakes, soldiers, poets, battlefields and camps. The latest names have been taken from ancient history—Anti phon, Berosus, Hippocrates, Demos thenes, Diogenes, Hesold and Simon ides—and negro port,*"* have no use for them, because they have diffi culty in pronouncing them. For many years it was believed that Miss Florence Pullman, daugh ter of the founder of the Pullman Company, received II, $50 or 1100 for each car she named. One sol emn guese quoted her salary at $30,000 a year, but the truth is she named onlv a few cars and re ceived no compensation. Burled Tin Disintegrates. From tha Ohio State Journal. Historians know that tin was used by those who lived in the old world several centuries ago, yet tin vessels are rarely found in the careful search of the ruins there and the chemists have found that tin does not rust, but when buried it has chemical prop erties that j>-ovide a decay, R change that transfo ms its crystalline struc ture. . . The exact nature cf the change is not clearly understood, but when the change has taken place there remains not tin but a fine gray powder that is lost as the crarchers dig In the ruins, and, strange to the ohemists, the change, onco started, appears to be Infectious bo'ng transmitted from one piece of tin to another until all dis appear. __ Elderly People Need Chaperone.

Booze Poor Insurance Risks From the Christian Science Monitor. Dr. Eugene Lyman Fisk, medical director of the Life Ex tension Institute of New York, added a contribution of no little value to the cause of prohibition by his address in Toronto before the fifty-first annual Conference of Social Work. This is particu larly the case because the phase of the situation which he represent ed, the relation of alcohol to life insurance, has been the subject of considerable controversy, apparently authoritative opinions being available which claim that moderate drinkers of alcoholic beverag es live longer than' total abstainers. This notion, Dr. Fisk declar ed unequivocally, “is not borne out by the weight of scientific evi dence," and he amplified this statement by asserting, “There is a higher death rate among drinkers, and the mortality rate increases with the rate of consumption of alcohol." Regarding the recent widely circulated reports along this line, moreover, Dr. Fisk vouchsafed the illuminating explanation that they are based upon an imposing mass of statistical formulae ap plied to meager and extremely questionable data. “The entire group study," he urged, “comprised about 2000, among which were 217 male total abstainers and 26 female heavy drinkers," and he added: “There was no warrant for constructing life tables out of such heterogenous death records and comparing them with the comprehensive records of life insurance companies concerning peo ple who had been medically examined as to their original condi tion of health." Dr. Fisk also called favorable attention to the investigation re cently conducted by Dr. Walter R. Miles at the Carnegie Institute of Washington into the alleged innocuousness of light wines and beer. This investigation, he showed, proves all such statements to be “misleading," and demonstrates beyond question that there is no longer room for doubt in reference to the toxie action of alcoholic bevsrages as weak as 2.75 per cent by weight. The specific results, in the direction under discussion, which Dr. Fisk told the delegates had been established by one of the most re cent studies of life insurance risks, covering 286,000 lives, are the following: Increased death rate amon| moderate, occasional users of alcohol, It per cent. Increased mortality among dally users of beer, St per cent. Increased mortality among dally users of spirits, 66 per cent. These percentages represent the excess mortality as compared to that among total abstainers. In summing up his arguments, Dr. Fisk, simply stated that there is no reason to doubt the teMimony of the laboratory and life insurance experience that the so-called moderate use of alcohol shorten human life. TO QET OUT OF DEBT Elizabeth Town*. The only way to get out of debt U to quit making debts. Live any old way, but don’t make another debt. In no time you will find yourself not only living on a cash basis, but you will find money beginning to pile up with which you can gradually reduce the old debts. But the only way to begin It Is to immediately be gin to live on a cash basis—pay cash for everything or go without. Of course, that does not mean ac tual cash—If you order a new suit, you naturally do not pay for the new suit until the bill comes In. But your cash must be paid when the bill comes In. Not a minute later. Legends in the Making. From the Philadelphia Bulletin. Myths and legends which may be come popular beliefs in time are born from such reports as the one sent from a town called Cellompton. In Devonshire, England. A man of the place is said to have a mummified Egyptian hawk of some Incredible age, which bleeds when war Is about to break out and ceases to bleed when the war draws to an end. On the face of It the yarn is*pf> posterous. There may be a man of the name given In the Devonshire I town, and ha may posses a mummi fied hawk. That Is all there can be to the tale. But If told often enough, the ridiculous yarn would come to be bellved by many people, and the believers would not all be stupid or Ignorant. The genesis of the bleeding hawk buncombe could probably be traced to some spoofing person who had It suggested to him by the current Interest In things Egyptian. Devon Is the home of one of England's most cherished superstitions. Thousands ef people In England probably truly believe in Drake's drum. The drum Is said to have been the war drum of that fine old sailor and buccaneer, Sir Francis Drake. The legend Is that when England Is threatened by sea, the drum of Sir Francis beats the call to arms. No one would object to a plctur espue superstition If it did not often cause uneasiness In the minds ol many persons who take Its prophetic utterances literally. The so-called prophecy of Mother Shipton Is a case In point. This prophecy Is in rhyme, and was supposed to have been written some three hundred years ago, when no living person could possibly have even Imagined some of the things which the rhyme said would come to pass. A legend v7ry often Is only a yarn dignified by years. Famous Beauty to Wed Again? i \ ^ ' Mrs. Lydia Codman, Boston society divorcee and beauty.

A prominent New York lawyer waa putting a witness through a hard cros. examination when the subject of ab sentmindedness arose. “What do you think Is absentmlnded ness?'* asked the lawyer. “Well,’’ replied the witness in a slow, deliberate tone, "If a man who thought he had left his watch at home, to.>k it out of his pocket to see If he had time to go back and get It, I would call him t little absentmlnded.''

"The polar-bear hug," the "walrus slide,” “the seal flap,” "the Ice-floe shimmy” are offered as latest names for the Alaska offerings along this line. PROFESSIONAL NURSE SAYS TANLAC HAS NO EQUAL By reason of the fact that she speaks from her long experience as a professional nurse, the statement of Mrs. J. Clark of 415 Walsworth ave nue, Oakland, Calif., will be of in terest to all who are In need of an Upbuilding tonic. “In all my fifteen years’ experience as a trained nurse,” says Mrs. Clark’s statement, “I never found the equal of Tanlac as a stomach medicine and tonic.
