Chivalry Toward Mate
Evinced by Male Rat
We have been libeling the rat.
When we called a man a rat we
felt that he was given the lowest
designation possible. But we were
wrong, says a writer in the New
York Herald Tribune. We have the
word of a scientist for this fact,
Dr. A. M. Hain of the Institute of
Animal Genetics, Edinburgh. Gal¬
lantry is almost invariably manifest¬
ed in the male rat, he states.
It Is not infrequent, he stated, for
rats to show incompatability in their
cages, but he described an unusual
case of an attack by a female on a
male that was placed in her cage.
She forced the male to the corner of
the cage on his hind legs. She at¬
tacked him if he tried to let his fore¬
paws down. She then carried hay to
that corner and filled it to the full
height of the cage, completely inclos¬
ing the male rat and shutting him
from her sight. The situation con¬
tinued for about six or seven hours
when a truce was apparently ar¬
ranged. “The male made no pro¬
test, manifesting a gallantry which
is Invariable In the male rat,” stated
Doctor Hain.

South Sea Natives Go
Back to the Primitive
One of the most favored of the
glamorous South Sea Islands, Puka
Puka, an atoll with a lagoon and
sandy beaches fringed with palms,
was picked as a paradise by white
settlers who established a trading
post and coconut estates there. But
since the depression the white set¬
tlers have abandoned their enter¬
prises and left for home. The re¬
sult is that the natives are revert
ing to their former style of living.
The grass skirt and the loin cloth
are taking the place of the calico
motherhubbard and the denim troiis
ers, the coconut oil lamp is sup
planting that which burned kerosene
and rhe natives are using shell hooks
for fishing Instead of steel ones. Tea.
bread and canned meat are being
discarded for native food.—Brook

This Is for city people, people who
think the country is a series of hay
fields, and that Its
The Big Inhabitants are a
Show bunch of “hicks.”
It will do you town
folks a bit of good to get out Into the
country about this time of year and
take a look at It.
You will discover that your bread
does not get its start at the baker’s,
or even at some Hour mill in Minne¬
sota, but In the ground, the red or
black ground that you have looked at
while passing in a train and thought
was just so much mud.
Go see the farms and get acquainted
with the farmers.
Find out something of their prob¬
lems.
You may think that they are yokels
—until you talk to them, then you will
discover that they read the newspapers
and the magazines, and probably are
better read and better informed than
you are.
While you are out there in the coun¬
try, hop over a fence and lie down In
the sun, If the grass Is dry enough.
* * * * * * *
Find one of those singing little
brooks that are bubbling everywhere
at this time of year.
Get an earful of their music. Let
it lull you to sleep, if you have time,
and the contact with the soil will not
hurt you.
Find out what a silo is far, and why
one kind of a cow is better to have
around than another kind of a cow.
Find out why certain grain is plant¬
ed In a certain kind of a field, and how
when the ground gets tired of every¬
thing going out and nothing coming
in and refuses to produce it helps the
soil go back to work if another kind of
crop is put on it.
Also, while you are there, look
around at the birds.
Most of them have songs to sing;
all of them are decorative.
They are much more fun to watch
than a canary in a cage, or even an
ungainly ostrich at the zoo.
* * * * * * «
When country people come to the
city, they enjoy themselves.
They see all the sights they can af¬
ford, and go back home filled with won¬
der and admiration.
They do not think there is anything
wrong with you just because you live
in the qity. It might be better for
them if they were not so trustful.
If you will only act on this suggestion
of mine you will learn a great deal about
the people upon whom you absolutely
depend for your daily bread, and have
a good time into the bargain.
Moreover, if you can, spend a couple
of weeks in the country.
* * * » * * *
Most minds like to play hookey.
Keeping them on the job is Iiasd wot-k.
But if you expect to
Make Your get any real perform
Mind Behave ance out of them,
you have to make
them toe the mark.
You hear a great deal about great
dreamers, but the place to dream is
in bed.
Give your mind a chance and it will
dream and dream about this and that.
Meanwhile you won’t be getting any¬
where.
The hardest thing to do in this world
is to concentrate.
Once learn to put that mind of yours
on some problem and keep it there,
and it will produce results.
But let it wander all over the lot,
touching at every interesting place
along the way, and you might as well
not have a brain, as far as getting any¬
where is concerned.

Most people have the experience,
when reading, of following with the
eye every line of type, turning every
page, and all the while thinking about
something that has nothing whatever
to do with what they are reading.
If the thing that you are reading
had any value, it is lost. The eyes
have-done their job, but.the w’its have
been wool gathering.
Teach that mind to work, and to
work hard.
Make it stick to the subject, and
stow away the information you hoped
to get when you started reading.
If you find that it hasn’t been func¬
tioning, go back to tlie beginning and
force it to attend to its job.
* * * * * - *
I am told that rapid readers remem¬
ber more of what they read than slow
ones.
That is probably because they work
so rapidly and keenly that their minds
don’t have a chance to go off the job.
Anyway, if you can’t control that
mind, keep It receptive and interested,
you are not going to get very far with
any study and you will never attain
that “broad and useful education” you
hoped to have some day.
When you begin to read, say to your
mind: “Attention, please.”
Then read a few pages and stop.
If you can’t remember what you have
just read, go back over it—twice or three
times if need be.
By and by you will get the habit.
What you garner from the pages will
be remembered.
Thereafter you will be astonished at
the progress you have made, and how
much more you have learned in one
short evening of concentration than
you once learned In a week of mere
page turning.
More than 150 years ago James
iVatt built a steam engine for a
)lant at Broseley, in Shropshire. It
mist have been about 1775.
Watt has been dead for many
/ears, but the engine is still work¬
ing, probably the oldest operating
steam engine In the world, says a
London correspondent of the Detroit
News.
Tlie engine was originally used to
sink the shaft of what are known
as “Tlie Deep Pits” at Broseley, and
it has driven the pit cage ever since.
Apart from the fact that it was
made at the Broseley foundry, no
one knows much about tlie engine.
But It is known that the stationary
engines designed by James Watt
were being made at Broseley years
before tlie first locomotive was built
and this is believed to be tlie last
working survivor of these engines.
Every part of It is cast iron; cast
And smelted from iron ore that was
mined in the locality. There was a

WOUR kidneys are constantly filter*

stream. But kidneys sometimes lag in
their work—do not act as nature in¬
tended—fail to remove impurities that
poison the system when retained.
Then you may suffer nagging back¬

urination, getting up at night, swollen
limbs; feel nervous, miserable
all upset.
