Man's Inner Quality
His Real Character
A man fs not born with some spe-
cial "sense" of honesty or any spe-
cial ''moral sense*' whatsoever. His
Bkills of behavior are all learned. A
man may, therefore, he honest, not
from any fine sensitiveness to human
values, but because he lias learned
that it is the best policy. But he has
not learned even this policy with ref-
erence to the whole round of human
associations. lie has learned merely
a certain set of "safety first" hab
its with reference to particular situ-
ations. And, even if we could add
up all these ways of behaving. one
by one, they would not make the
thing we call character. "A man may
possess all the virtues and not be
virtuous;" he may act virtuously, and
act honestly, and yet !>e a scoundrel,
is the assertion made by Albert E
Wiggam, writing in the World's Work.
For it is not the act in itself that
distinguishes the good man from the
bad, but the inner quality of the man
himself as an organized and socially
functioning individual. We may add
up his charateristics, whether these
he virtues or vices, but the algebrai-
cal sum is not his character. Char-
acter does not consist merely in any
set of acts; it involves, also, the in-
ner attitude of the man toward his
acts and towards others whom he ex-
pects his acts will help or harm.

Crop conditions in this community
have not improved much, as they were
almost ruined by the -hail and exces-
sive rains. I don't believe that they
are over 40 per cent normal for this
time of the year. Farmers are bad-
ly behind with thei work and it seems
as if the ground will never get in con-
dition to cultivate.
There were a few who faced the
weather Sunday and went to New
Hope, but reported no singing.

Making o: an Arizs*
Theodore Thomas had a b<>:::.<i:
contempt for the musicians who v,-c.it
about seeking to advertise their call-
ing in their dress and neckties. Once
a nice young man with luxuriant
locks, a long flowing tie and other in-
signia of the tribe artistic joined the
orchestra. He was entirely ignorant
of Mr. Thomas' pet aversion.
During his first rehearsal Thomas
eyed the hirsute youth with manifest
disfavor, and at the end motioned him
•aside. The famous conductor, with
i. arms , akimboo,' stood and - £4feed
illy at the waving fiel#' of
hair. Then he laid a finger on the
young man's arm and said with no
unkind accent:
"Practice, practice—not pomade—
makes the artist."
The young man went out and asked
the way to a barber's shop.—Kansas
City Times.
I failed to get his name correctly.
Mr. Bryan Ziegler and family of
near Forrest Hill were Sunday go eats
tf relative here.
Red Indians as Swimmers
The bureau of American ethnology
says that the Indians are remarkable
swimmers, and some of the tribes were
in the water as much as were the
primitive Polynesians. They swam
six or seven different ways, including
treading water, and would dive to the
bottom of deep water. A common in-
stitution among the Indians was the
sweat bath. They would sweat in a
specially constructed sweathouse,
which was closed up to keep the heat
in, and when they thought they had
sweated enough would suddenly run
outdoors, giving warwhoops, throw
themselves into the cold water, and,
after a while, re-enter the sweathouse
to dry off, since they had no towels.
Earth's Big Bulge
As the earth's crust is by no means
rigid it rises and falls under the grav-
itational attraction of the moon and
sun in a manner similar to that
of the ocean's tide. Various difficul-
ties have so far prevented exact
measurements.
The pressure exerted on spots of
the earth's crust by the rising tide of
the ocean is another thing that makes
it heave and fall. Atlantic tides have
caused an observed earth bulge eight
hundred miles away, and it is thought
probable that this influence girdles
the world.
Pencil Sharpening
A drawing master states that he is
often able to judge the characteristics
of his pnpils by their manner of
sharpening a pencil. The artistic in-
dividu.'d usually makes a fine tapering
point, the business-like person a snort,
stubby one. Those who sharpen a
pencil towards themselves on a thumb
are often secretive. The untidy per-
son reduces his pencil-end to shape-
less irregularity, while the very hap
py-go-lucky one hacks away In care
less fashion and finishes with about
half the length he started with.
