To subdue fear, desire, and jealousy, is the aristocrat’s personal affair, it is his ritual and discipline, like a knight watching his arms; but the destruction of division and prejudice and all their forms and is his real task, that is the common work of knighthood. It is a task to be done in a thousand ways; one man working by persuasion, another by example, this one overthrowing some crippling restraint upon the freedom of speech and the spread of knowledge and that preparing himself for a war that will shatter a tyrannous presumption. Most imaginative literature, all scien* tific investigation, all sound criticism, all good building, all good manufac ture, all sound politics, every honesty and every reasoned kindliness contrib ute to this release of men from the heat and confusions of our present world. —H. G. Wells. Powerful Effects of Music. Experiments on dogs showed that music was capable of increasing the elimination of carbonic acid and of in creasing the consumption of oxygen. It was also found that music increased the functional activity of the skin. In view of these powerful effects of musical vibrations upon the nervous system, it is easy to understand how savages and animals, with their habit of quick response to external stimuli, are acted upon by certain kinds of mu sic. If the savage hears a joyful sort of harmony, the vibrations of the music start tingling the particular set of nerves that produce good feeling, and the agreeable sensations felt by his nervous system have a very soothing effect Perfumery From France. France exported to this country last year more than $3,000,000 worth of perfumery and soap. This was nearly double the amount bought during the previous year. MOTE WATTS UNDERTAKER LICENSED EMBALMER Phones Day 61 Night 149 ANTS PUT ANOTHER TO DEATH Insect Imbibed Too Freely of Alcohol and Is Drowned by “Commit tee" of His Fellows. National prohibition is in force among the ants. The insects are so firmly set against intoxication among their fellows that the punishment of death is not too severe for one who oversteps the bounds. This was brought out in a lecture by Dr. S. C. Schmucher, vice president of the Uni versity of Notre Dame, at the St. Jas per county (Ind.) teachers’ institute. Doctor Schmucher told the story as an experience of Sir John Lovett, an authority on ants. A quantity of alco hol was placed on a piece of sugar, and one ant that imbibed too freely was put to death by a “committee” of four of his fellow ants. The one ant ate the sugar and alcohol until it became so intoxicated it could not move. One of the ants discovered the intoxicated one. and went back to the ant hill. Three others returned with it, and the four finally dragged the intoxicated ant to a tiny stream of water and drowned it.—lndianapolis News.
