class malter at the post office atCuin

3, 1579.
Too Modest to Speak,
In times of trouble, personal
jealousies, animosity and misun
derstandings between people or
nations are lost in the common
desire of humanity to help those
in trouble.
The latest illustration of this
universal feeling is now witness
ed in the desire to help Japan.
During the San Francisco earth
quake, Japan contributed over
half the money subscribed by
foreign nations which totaled
nearly $500,000.
This action on her part was all
the more notable and extraordi
nary due to the fact that she was
at that time poor and exhausted
by her foreign wars.
In the present great emergen
cy the story of her wonderful
response in behalf of the San
Francisco sufferers, giving as
she did more than all the rest of
the world put togetner, outside
of the United States, cannot be
too highly praised.
The Japanese themselves are
too modble to speak of it and for
some reason the story of her won
derful liberality is almost never
mentioned.
Asa powerful and wealthy na
tion we can return her generous
assistance many fold and never
notice it.
As her affliction is many times
worse than the San Francisco
disaster, generous action upon
our part is essential to express
our gratitude.
A teacher was hearinginga
class in geography and finally
asked the following question:
(Name the principal zones.)
One bright little fellow ans
wered: [The two principal zones
are the masculine and the fern,
inine.the masculine is the tem
perate and the intemporate, the
the feminine is the frigid and the
horriu.
Root Caue of Nearly Every War.
During the World war a well-known
French publicist was Invited to ad
dress a large audience of children from
the elementary schools of an Amerlcun
city. Walking quickly onto the stage,
he commenced speaking In his own
tongue, and then smiling at the bewil
dered children, he said, In perfect Eng
lish: "You do not understand me, do
you? There, my dear children, you
have the root cause of this and nearly
every other war. Only through a lack
of proper understanding of the point
of view of other nations are wars pos
sible.” —Christian Science Monitor.
• “Santos" Coffee From Sao Paulo.
■ jt is against the law now to label
ns “Java" coffee that does not coine
from Java or Sumatra. Heal Mocha Is
grown In Arabia, and after pie coffee
became well known and very popular
some unscrupulous dealers applied this
name to coffee from other countries.
Coffees frequently take their names
from the ports from which they are
shipped. The most widely used vari
ety in this country Is called “Santos,”
after a port of Sao l’auio, the greut
coffee-producing state of Brazil.
Volcanoes In United States.
While there are no active volcanoes
In this country, there are a number of
extinct or dormant volcanoes In the
West. These Include the Sun Fran
cisco mountains of Arizona, Mt. Tay
lor In New Mexico, Mt. Shasta In
California and the following peaks In
the Cascade mountains: I’ltt, Mazana,
Union, Scott, Three Sisters, Jefferson,
Hood, Adams, St. He,lens, Rainier and
Baker. The Spanish peaks of Colo
rado are also the remains of ancient
volcanoes. Most of these mountains
have visible craters on their summits
or on their sides.
Origin of the Dollar.
The dollar was Introduced Into
America by the West India trude be
fore the Revolution. The coinage net
of the 2nd of April, 1792, legalized It
and established It as a unit of Amer
ican currency. The Inconvenience of
the English system of money led con
gress in 1781 to Instruct Robert Mor
ris to devise a system of national
coinage. His suggestions were not
adopted, but those proposed by Jeffer
son were approved. He proposed the
dollar as a unit to be equivalent to
one hundred cents.

Pantomime 22 Centuries Old.
The word “pantomime” Is about
twenty-two centuries old, says the
Cleveland Plain Denier. It originally
meant un actor and not the act. Lit
erally. the word means the “mime" or
Imitator of everything, and Imitate
everything the old Greek and Homan
actors could and did. Their plays were
usually In dumb show, and movements
and gesticulations formed the actor’s
chief art.
Later, the pantomime—which now
has come to mean the act —was con
tinued into the Middle Ages In the
form of the play of Pantaloon, Col
umbine and Harlequin-—Clown was a
later addition—who are supposed .by
some scholars to represent the ancient
deities of the orlglual pantomime. A
little later still, pantomime had turned
Into a ballet, still without words and
still centering round Harlequin and the
rest.
