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,

Ancient Wooden Locks
Burden for Strong Man
The most common lock now in use
on exterior doors of bulldings is the
cylinder lock developed by Linus Yale,
Jdr., and this leads us back into his-
tory. 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. Such hu

Peculiar Form of Oath
Taken by Manx Official
Manxmen mind their deemsters,
Obsolete except on Great Britain's
minute Isle of Man, deemsters are
medieval Judgesof-all-work. 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.
