ONE WAY TO BE INTEREST ING. : WILLIAM E. TOWNE, ■/ In the Nautilus. 1 just noticed a sentence of •'ev en words in a magazine short tory which gives a complete, per fected method for making one’s elf liked, for developing that at tractiveness in social intercourse -which so many desire and so com paratively few attain. Here is the sentence: “To be interested i s to Ik* interesting. Do not pass this hastily by, but consider w hat it really implies. ■When persons are intensely inter ested in a subject, they are apt to know a great deal about it that is interesting to others. I hey are able to talk about it in a way that will hold the attention of others. The least iteresting people in a social way are those who are al ways worrying over the idea that they are not popular and liked. If they have any real interests, they are always afraid to express them. They are so self-centered and self conscious that they think only about themselves and hence never allow their conversation to he con* cent rated upon ihose subjects with which they are familiar and which might furnish a common meeting ground for conversation. If you are more interested in yourself and your own unpleas ant feelings that you are in out side matters, you will not find peo ple flocking about you to seek your society. Forget yourself and become in terested in something that others are also interested in. Concentrate your attention upon this outside matter and you will soon forget your unpleasant feling of not be ing popular. All lack of popularity is due to some form of self-centered selfish ness. some mental inhibition upon normal self-expression. Conversation between two per sons ought to mean an advance ment in mutual understanding of each other. It should mean the conversion of one's thoughts and ideas into such form ,1s to render them comprehensible to the other. Asa matter of fact, most con versation is simply thinking out loud, and the talker is too self eentered to consider whether or not he is presenting his thoughts iu a way to reach the understand ing and interest of the other party.

(Christian Science Monitor.) . Although it detracts nothing from present perplexities, it is in teresting to know, on the woid of a decipherer of ancient records, that in the year 309 B. <\ there was a strike of the musicians’ un ion in Home. The officials of Rome it appears, thought that the musi cians should play without pay at a forthcoming festival in honor of Jupiter. The musicians thought otherwise, and although Rome, then engaged in one of the Sam nite wars, had little money to spend for music, decided not to “do their bit” by performing without pay. Apparently the ar gument that they were really play ing for dupitor himself was tried without effect. So the city oificials decided on an appeal to public opinion; they evolved a stratagem be which they decoyed the strik ing musicians to the scene of the festival, and. with all Rome look ing expectantly at them, the musi cians changed their minds and there was “music as usual.” OUR WAY TO SILENCE WIVES Niro Ament an soldiers have married at Archatn’ l who do not uudefst.ind a word to Russian.

NATIONAL REPENTANCE—By THE REV CHARLES STELZLE .lesiis disciples had vainly tried to relieve a poor sufferer from Ihe torments of an evil spirit. Then they called Jesus to help them, who quickly worked a mira cle of healing. And the disciples wondered why they had not succeeded, and Jesus said in reply to their query: “This kind goeth not out but hv prayer and fasting.” The disciples hadn’t taken their task seriously enough. They had been eager to help, bib power does not come through eagerness alone. An evil spirit is in the world to day. It has shown itself in war and pestilence, in labor conflicts and in personal controversies, which have torn men apart and made them hitter enemies. And men in certain groups have gotten together to talk about how Ihey might rid the world of this demon of hate and destruction. They have appropriated cam paign funds of millions of dollars and adopted resolutions and form ed organizations to sweep out of our country every element which deprives us of peace and happi ness. Hut—“lbis kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.” The evil is too deep-rooted and stronglv-entrenehed. II lias been feeding too long on the life-blood of the nation. It has sapped its strength until in some of its parts the nation has become weak and almost helpless. It has stirred the passions of men. driv ing them madly over precipices and through livers in their ha treds and their animosties. ‘‘This kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.” Think not that a hastily-called convention or a carelessly signed petition or a flippantly expressed conviction will lid us of “radi cals” and “Bolsheviki” and mobs and strikes and wars. Our nation needs to get down upon its knees and cry out: “God be merciful to me—a sin ner!” We have too long been indiffe rent to the sufferings of our fel low's. We have been too negligent of the condition of the poverty stricken. We have been deaf to the bitter cry of little children. And now that we’ve been re lieved from the strain ol’ war, and our eyes have been even half opened to the horror of what we’ve passed through, we’ve be come almost hysterical as the fruits of men’s passions and self ishness pass before us as a hor i ble nightmare. “This kind goetli not out but by prayer and fasting.” It is no time for a cheap “pat riotism” that neglects the great fact of national sin. It is foolish to indulge in childish patter about ‘‘democracy” that ignores the very elements of brotherhood and justice. It is utile to cry out I*’ Peace, pence.” when there is no peace. n s NEW KULTUR IN BERLIN.

CARDINAL A BIOGRAPHER. At his country seat at Rietie. (’ardinat Merry del Val is writing the biographyh of Pope Pius X. The hood reveals many interest ing characteristics of the late pope The cardinal notes that when Pius X. held his left hand at his side with the fist clenched, it was never wise to approach him with a re- quest. His holiness used prerogatives which had not been exervised since the time the medieval popes were as powerful as kings. He once ordered from his presence the Russian minister who had dared contradict him. When an important decision had to he taken Pius X. would of ten arise at the dead of night and. led by wo Swiss guards with flam ing torches, would descend the “stairs of death” and through the long corridors of the Vatican till he arrived at the tomb of St. Peter in the cathedral. There he would kneel and pray. The following morning the Pope's decision would begiven. AUSTRIAN CROWN JEWELS ARE REPORTED MISSING.
