Whatever the hand of man calls into
being the mind of man will regulate.
A man is ever bigger than his busi-
ness. Let him be one of an army at
work with cars and cranes, let him
be a tiny mite amid the toil of mills
where thousands are, and still the
tiler is greater than the toil and
greater than the tools or the fruits of
labor. The thing that leaves the hand
is soulless, but the soul went into the
hand when It was made. The man
himself is the greatest engine ever
set in motion in this world, and the
work of his hands shall never control
his immortal spirit.
Our Best.
As I travel along pathwaY,
Treading awhile each day,
The older I grow the less I know
Of what others should do and say.
'Tis enough to be careful and listen
To that conscience speaking within,
The little voice which tries so hard
To keep away from ein,
The voice of Our Father in heaven
above
Speaking to us in tones 01 1070,
Telling us He is always there,
Ready to help ue our burdens share.
Canada's Far North has 120,000,000
acres of agricultural land, per esti-
mate of J. K. Cornwall,
stars come twinkling out;
While all the little, silent sounds of
nighttime chirped about.
We always figure on the wear or
things we buy and sell;
We ought to figure how they'll last in
memories as well.
For many roofs may shelter us as life
is passing by,
But only in our memories we live until
we die.
So choose your house of dreams, my
dears, and choose it as you
please -
But there is nothing like a kitchen
porch for shelling peas.
Song of the League of
Nations.
I come to a sad, weary world,
It from the scourge of war to free;
Upon my argent flag unfurl'd
There shines the legend, Liberty.
Come, gather, 0 earth's nations all,
Your squabbling and your hating
cease!
01, gather round me, great and small,
For I am come to safeguard Peace.
I come to teach a nobler thought,
To light man's path with brighter
ray,
And help him love as love he ought,
The harbinger of a new day.
Ah, end, ye peoples, end your strife
And into plowshares your swords
bet;
Come, greet, ye of a larger life
And Peace in brotherhood's name

To take risks is to sow the true

risks in his games and sports, he not

ent, but he evill not have the satis-
faction of feeling that he has "greatly
dared and greatly won."
The best athletes are those who are
cool and calculating, yet who are
willing, if need be, to put the game to
the hazard of a single brilliant -stroke.
The consistent policy .of playing safe
never advances a boy beyond medi-
ocrity in any branch of sport. Every
boy who is a real boy longs to ad-
vance beyond mediocrity and is im-
patient of victories over adversaries
who are merely second-rate. The
growth of the habit of playing safe
belongs to later years, when the man
in order to maintain himself again -et
a livelier opponent has to adopt de-
fensive rather than aggressive .bactics.
Even then it is the bold chance suc-
cessfully taken rather than the victory
achieved by careful method and cun-
ning that lingers most pleasantly iu
the sportsman's memory.

Island.
The Island of Ascension in the, At-
lantic, belonging to Great Britain, is
of volcano formation, eight miles by
six ;in size, and has a population of
about 450. It was uninhabited nail
the confinement of Napoleon at St
Helena, when it was occupied by a
small British force, It is 250 miles
north of St, Helena. Vast numbers
of turtles are found on the shores and
it serves as a depot and watering
place for ships.
Ascension is governed by a captain
appointed by the British admiralty.
There is to private property in land,
no rents, no taxes and. no use for
money. The flocks and herds are pub-
lic property and the moat is issued as
rations. So are the vegetables grown
on the farms, When an island fisher-
man makes a catch he brings it to
tho guard room, where it is issued by
the sergeant major. Practically the
entire population are sailors- and they
work at most of the common tratioa.
The muleteer is a jack tar; so are the
gardener, the grooms, the masons,
earpenters and plumbers. Even the
island trapper, who gets rewards for
the tails of rats is a sailor.
The climate is well-nigh perfect and
anything can he grown.

The platinum psieers yield quite

which the Russians have developed in

Nuggets of platinum are rare. One

is in the Dresden Museum.
Wise Men Say -
That it you would earn more you
must learn more.
That to go far, it will help to start
early each morning.
That 001110 men never recognize an
opportunity unless it is labelled.
That wise men are usually like
sponges: they seek to absorb all they
can.
That poverty is no disgrace, but
there is precious little else that can
be said for it.
That the man who quarrels with his
bread and butter Is likely to dine on
eiT'alt.Past' trying to do business without
advertising is like a man winking at a
girl in the dark,
That yesterday is dead -forget it;
to -morrow does not exist -don't wor-
ry; to -day is here -use it!
That in the assurance of strength
there is strength, and they are the
weakest, however strong, who have no
faith in themselves or their powers..
That not one really great man has
achieved greatness except by coming
over the path ot theme, hardships, dis-
appointments, and heartaches.
That most of our failures are due to
neglect of simple principles, We per-
sist in the desire to get something for
nothing, to make progress without
paying in effort.
