A rr arg GIVING ADVICE AND TAKING IT By THOMAS ARKLE CLARK Emeritus Dean of Men, University of Illinois. ; Parson Adams was giving very sage and perhaps sensible advice to Joseph Andrews, Joseph was In love as young men are wont to be even today and like most men in this condition was Im- patient for the marriage cere mony. The good parson was urg- ing restraint of desire and emo- tions, and laying down the prinel- ple that one should never be so infat- uated with anything human that he could not easily bring himself without too much disturbing his mental and emotional equilibrium to give up. Jo- seph did not fall for the principle. “You are too much inclined to pas. sion, child,” the parson advised, “and have set your affections so absolutely on this young woman, that if God re. quired her at your hands I fear that you would reluctantly part with her. Now believe me, no Christian ought #0 to set his heart on any person or thing In this world but that whenever it shall be required or taken from him in any manner by Divine providence, he may be able, quietly, and content. edly to resign it.” The theory sounded all right, but the preacher had scarcely uttered his advice until a messenger brought him the sad and startling news that his youngest child had just been drowned, The news was too much for him and he burst into an agony of grief and lamentation. Joseph tried in vain to comfort him with his own philosophy, but to no avail, “Child, child” he said, about Im Had other of my children, 1 borne it with patience.” “do not go it been any could have possibilities, Very likely, but it is usually a good deal easier to give some one else a dose of bitter medicine than It Is to take it oneself. “If I had infected tells me, “I'd have away" I wonder if he would!

Primitive prototypes of Yale's Invention were In use in Mesopotamia and Egypt as early as 2000 B. C. These were huge wooden affairs re- quiring cumbersome keys, ag we may gather from the Biblican passage (Isaiah 22:22) “And the key to the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder.” iis key, or muftah as it was and still Is called in the East, is a stick of wood from 15 to 30 inches long, 2 to 4 inches broad and 1 to 2 inches thick, Into the face of one end are set a number of wooden or iron pegs about an Inch long. These pegs correspond with as many holes in the wooden bar or bolt which locks the door and can only be lifted when these pegs enter the holes and lift a corre sponding series of pins which drop home by force of gravity and keep the bar locked until pressed yup by the key with its pegs.

They hear actions and criminal cases of every sort and preside over Manx grand juries, Manxmen gathered recently to hear the swearing-in of Deemster Steven son More. A great and respected veteran of the Manx bench, Mr, More has been in retirement for ten years. He has now been installed as sole deemster of one-half of the Isle of Man, upon taking the feliowing mouth-filling Manx oath: “By the wonderful works that God miraculously wrought in between heaven above and the earth beneath in six days and seven nights, I swear to execute the laws of the isle justly between our sovereign lord the king and his subjects as indifferently as the herring’s backbone doth lle in the midst of the fish.” A Manx elder explained: “Ths backbone of a herring lies ‘indiffer- ently'—that Is without any ‘differ. ence’ or deviation to the right or the left—in the fish, Our ancient deem- ster’s oath is a constant reminder that herring was once almost the only food of Manxmen. "Time Magazine. Landed Nine-Foot Shark A nine-foot shark weighing several hundred pounds was harpooned at Ocracoke, N. C., by David Gaskill, Ocracoke, and Carl Jacobson, Wash- ington, N. C. When the shark came within five feet of the boat, Gaskell threw the harpoon. It struck the shark in the back. The little boat was pulled several hundred yards down the channel. The shark was finally brought to the shore and landed with block and tackle.
