WELL TO HEED INNER LIGHT |
Vcst of Those Disappointed in Life
Have Had False Aims, John
Burroughs Thought.
I have done what I have most want-
ed to do in the world, what I was prob-
ably best fitted to do, not as the result
of deliberate planning or calculation,
hut by simply going with the current,
that is, following my natural bent, and
reftising to run after false gods.
Riches and fame and power, when di-
rectly pursued, are false gods. If a
man deliberately says to himself, “I
will win these things,” he has likely
reckoned without his host. His host
is the nature within and without him,
and that may have something to say
on the subject. But if he says, “I will
do the worthy work that comes to my
hand, the work that my character and
my talent bring me, and I will do it
the best I can,” he will not reap a
barren harvest.
So many persons are disappointed
in life! They have had false aims.
They have wanted something for noth-
ing. They have listened to the call otf
ambition and have not heeded the in-
ner light. They have tried short cuts
to fame and fortune, and have not
been willing to pay the price in self-
denial that all worthy success de-
mands. We find our position in life
according to the specific gravity of |
our moral and intellectual natures.—
From “The Last Harvest,” by John
Burroughs.
NICKNAME GIVEN IN DERISION
Various Explanations of Origin of
Term “Shinplaster,” Applied to
Fractional Paper Currency.
The word “shinplaster” is just a
slang expression which had its origin
in the United States. The original
“shinplaster” (for shins), as defined in
Funk & Wagnall’s New Standard dic-
tionary, is a colloquial name for “a
curative plaster made of brown paper
smeared with tar, vinegar, or the like,
for application to a sore shin.” The
dictionary says that “shinplaster”
meant. “1—Originally, any paper
money, said to have been applied first
to the depreciated Continental curren-
cy after the War of the Revolution.
2—A small note for a fractional part
of a dollar, issued by private bankers
and companies for circulation as
money, especially during the financial
stress beginning with 1837. 3—The
fractional or postal currency issued
by the United States government dur-
ing the Civil war to serve as small
change during suspension of specie
payments.” The expression was ap-
plied to the money because of its re-
semblance to the curative plaster. By
some it is supposed that this slang |
term arose “from an old soldier of the
Revolutionary périod having tsed a
quantity of worthless paper money as
plasters for a wounded leg.”
Only Yourself to Blame.
Whoever starts off in life with the
idea, “I shall succeed,” always does
succeed, because he does what is neces-
sary to bring about this result. If only
one opportunity presents itself to him,
and if this opportunity has, as it were, '
only one hair on its head, he seizes it |
Further, he often
by that one hair.
brings about, unconsciously or not,
propitious circumstances.
He who, on the contrary, always
doubts himself, never succeeds in do-
ing anything. He might find himself
in the midst of an army of opportuni-
ties, with heads of hair like Absalom,
and yet he would not see them and
could not seize a single one, even if he
had only to stretch out his hand to do
so. And if he brings about circum-
stances, they are generally unfavora-
ble ones.
Do not then blame fate—you have
only yourself to blame.—From “Self-
Mastery Through Conscious Autosug-
gestion,” by Emile Coue (American
Library Service, New York).
One Wanting.
A Scottish shepherd had a very
clever collie dog, who could fetch the
sheep from the hills after they had
been wandering for some days.
When the collie arrived with the
missing flock, his master looked the
sheep over and counted them. If any
were lacking, the man would look at
the dog and say, “There’s three want-
ing,” or “there’s two wanting,” and
the dog would understand, and go off
again and search till the missing sheep
were found.
At last this good dog died, and the
shepherd put these words over his
grave: “There's one wanting.”
Milestone’s Lament.
Two men were walking along a coun-
try road. They had never left their
village home before, but times were bad
and getting worse, so they had packed
their kits and started upon “the road.”
Presently they came to a milestone,
on which was written: 108 miles from
London.
“What's that?” asked Ned.
“That's a gravestone,” answered
John. “Can’t you read it? Here lies
a man, 108 years old. His name was
Miles, and he came from London.”
“Tread light, John,” said Ned, and
they passed on their way.
Weather in the Moon.
Some interesting experiments have
been made with reference to the heat
and cold of the moon. It is found that
its rocks, except near the poles, must
glow in the sunshine with a tempera-
ture above that of boiling water, while
during the lunar night the tempera-
ture sinks almost to the level of ah-
solute zero—a burning and a freezing
desert every fortnight alternately.

GRAIN “THRASHED” BY YAKS
Methods in Tibet Remain as Primitive
as They Have Been Through
the Centuries.
Thrashing is a “simple” process In
Tibet. Yaks are employed in doing
this hard work, and all that these “live
thrashing machines” need to inspire
them is plenty of noise and music. The
yak is a large heavy animal, a cross
between the bison and the ox. It has
long hair, which fringes down over its
shoulders, sides and tail in a great
ASS.
Before the thrashing begins the bar-
ley is cut and strewn in an inclosure
of hard-beaten earth. The grain is
stacked several inches deep in this in-
closure, which is usually about half an
acre in size. After the barley is in
place, about forty or fifty vaks are
driven into the space.
The farmers, their wives and chil
dren all gather at the house where the
thrashing is to be done. They bring
with them all of the old drums, rattles,
bells, empty kerosene cans, pans and
other implements from which a noise
can be extracted. Soon the yaks, fright-
ened and angry, rush through the bar-
ley with their huge fringed tails high
in the air. Back and forth they run,
trampling the barley with their huge
feet, and the barley is thrashed out in
clean grains at the bottom of the in
closure.
“LIFE” IN INANIMATE THINGS
Metals, for Instance, Easily Proved to.
Be Sensitive to Degrees of
Heat and Cold.
Scientists tell us that life may exist
in objects previously considered inani-
mate, such as stone or iron. It is now
known that metals are sensitive not
only to heat and cold, but also to nar-
cotics and stimulants. Strange as it
may seem, you can poison a piece of
steel. Take two steel bars. Heat
them red-hot and allow one to cool in
the air and the other in hydrogen. The
latter will be found to be poisoned. It
will be brittle and unfit for use as tool
steel. Metals, again, suffer from over-
fatigue. The most common example is
when your razor-edge becomes dull and
the most careful stropping fails to re-
store its edge. But if you rest the ra-
zor for a week or two the steel regains
its temper. When stone goes sick it
is very difficult to cure. Paints have
been used, but witheut much effect. In
these days the architect kas at his
command certain mysterious liquids
which can be squirted onto decaying
stone, and which, sinking in, make the
surface hard and weather-proof. But
the process is apt to spoil the appear- |
ance of the stone.
First “America’s Cup” Race.
The first international yacht race to:
establish title to the America’s cup
was held over the New York Yacht
club's course, and resulted in a vic
tory for the American cutter Magic,
97 tons, over the ¥English schooner
Cambria, 227 tons. The trophy was
offered by the British Yacht squadron,
when the schooner America visited
England in 1851, and came to be called
“America’s cup” by reason of the vic-
tory of the Yankee craft over all the
! pleasure boats of England in a race
around the Isle of Wight. The Amer-
ica was built in Boston and was of
170 tons. By deed of gift of the own- |
ers of the winner, the trophy was pre- |
sented tec the New York Yacht club
and constituted a challenge cup for
the yachts of all nations.—Chicago
Journal.
Penn State Takes Part in Internation-
al Show.
_ The last of the eighty-six head of
livestock that The Pennsylvania State
College will show in the classes at the
International live stock exposition, in
Chicago, December 2 to 9, were ship-
ped from the college last week. The
entire college exhibit includes 13 head
of cattle, 42 sheep and 31 hogs. The
herd of show cattle competed in the
Canadian Royal exposition at Toron-
to early in the week, going from there
to the International. All of the Penn
State stock, with the exception of one
Angus heifer, will compete for hon-
ors in the fat stock classes, and some
have been entered in the hog, sheep
and cattle carcass contests.
Members of the State College facul-
ty, whose interest lies in livestock
work, will attend the show and repre-
sent the college in the meetings of the
American Society of Animal Produc-
tion and the national research coun-
cil. W. H. Tomhave, head of the de-
partment of animal husbandry at the
college, brings national distinction to
Pennsylvania as one of the three
members of the committee that judges
Hereford cattle in the show.
Pennsylvania will be well repre-
sented around the show ring at the
International, a show that is known
far and wide as the court in which the
kings of the animal domain are given
their final rating. In addition to the
college representatives, many Penn-
sylvania breeders and followers of the
cow, sheep, hog and horse will be
found watching the various events.
Pennsylvanians in increasing numbers
are looking upon the International as
an educational exhibit that they can-
not afford to miss.
— Let us hope that plenty and
prosperity will be the lot of our own
nation and of the rest of the world
during the coming year.

How can the Farmer
be Helped?
IN TWO WAYS:
By higher prices for what he produces.
By decreasing the cost of what he buys.
The first is difficult for he competes with the
world.
The second is possible for it is a question of
production.
When will our Workingmen see that they, as
well as the Farmer, suffer from low output.
Loafing on the job, doing as little as possible in-
stead of as much for a given wage, increases the
cost of living all around.
The man who does only half as much as he
can do, is cheating himself. He is paying a part
of his own wages by increasing the cost of every-
thing he buys.
