ONE'S “CONSCIENCE'’ A GU:
Should Be Inner Knowledge 1 i. .t
Toll* Him How to Live to
the Best Purpose.
The word “conscience'’ is d< \
allied, in origin as well as ultima!!'
meaning with the word “conscious
ness.” Both trace their roots to
the Latin words “Con” (with, or
within one’s self) and “Scio” (1
know.)
The person who is conscious,
therefore, knows that In* is aliv*
or at least that he exists. It.u t1
person who has conscience know
more than that. His eonseh nee, m
inner knowledge, tells -or on?*.hi i<
tell—him how to live to (!:■ he ;
purpose, and what is the right thin;.' i
to do under given circumstances.
The common origin of the two
words shows how closely intertwined
arc their meanings* and of the near
relation between “conscience” and
“consciousness.”
The person who has lost “con
sciousness” is either dead or else is
in a condition of physical helpless
ness and uselessness resembling
death. The person who has no con
science or has lost it might as well j
be dead—so far as any value he i
might possess to himself or the com- '
munity is concerned.—Milwaukee]

JUST ONE NIGHT'S DANCING.
Many persons, not only of the so
called weaker but of the presuma
bly stronger sex, think that walking
a half-dozen blocks on some practi
cal errand is entirely too great a
physical effort, but think nothing at
all of dancing a good portion of the
night It is interesting to see just
what dancing amounts to in the
way of exercise.
The average waltz requires a
dancer to travel over 1,300 yards,
and other dances average around
950 yards. Dancing from 9 o’clock
into the following morning necessi
tates taking 28,000 steps, or a total
distance of over 11 miles. Fancy
the feelings of a girl if invited to
take an 11-mile walk, even if it wore
proposed that she be accompanied
by a band of music!
NECESSITIES OF THE RICH.
Young Mr. Leeds, son of an
American mother and one of the
world’s wealthiest widows until she
became the wife of Prince Chris
topher of Greece, recently spent a
morning in Paris buying 64 silk
ahirts, two black velvet morning
coats and a few other little necessi
ties. The young man comes by it
naturally, for his mother at the time
of her wedding a year ago is said to
have had slippers made of humming
birds’ wine's, a stomacher of robins’
breasts and furs and other fixing
costing so much money that the
itemized bill was telegraphed all
round the world for newspapers to
print and high-cost-of-living corn
plainers to marvel at, remarks Cap
per’s Weekly.
hair nets in demand.
Hair nets to the value of $8,000,
000 were imported last year, where
as a few years ago it was only a
few thousands. Most of the hair
nets are manufactured in China of
human hair. The better grade nets
are made from American-prepared
hair, shipped to China, where it is
fashioned into the nets and returned
to this country. The lower grades
are made of Chinese hair, bleached
and then dried, after which opera
tion they lose a great deal of their
natural lifelike luster. They are
all manufactured fat hand on form*.

ONLY CHANGE IS IN METHOD
Human Race as “Pugnacious” Today
as It Was in the Times of
the Old Romans.
The word “pugnacity” is a pat
reminder of the short and simple
way of doing things. When an old
Roman was disposed to be quarrel
some he went at it by the direct
method of using his fist, or “pug
nus.” Hence “pugno”—I fight.
It will be seen that the word
“pugnacious” is closely allied to our
modern phrase of the boxing ring
or the alley: “Handy with his
fists.”
The next time you are disposed
to be quarrelsome in the modem
way of being argumentative, remem
ber the origin of the word “pug
nacious.” The method of being
pugnacious has varied somewhat un
der the influence of police regula
tions and the higher conception of
individual rights. Host of the time
we substitute bitter words for hard
fists. But the principle is the same,
and it is a savage desire to knock
the other fellow down.—Chicago
Journal.
UNEXPECTED RIDE.
Ton years ago we attended the
Indian “com dance,” on the Rose
bud reservation. The festivities
were held inside the race course and
the Indians were decked out in gav
blankets, paint and feathers galore.
When my husband went to get me
a drink of water, a gorgeous young
chief stepped up, looked our auto
over and, without a word, hopped
in beside me and proceeded to race
our machine around the race course,
his blanket and feathers streaming
on the breeze while I held on to the
seat, shrieking madly. Round and
round the course we whizzed until
the gas was exhausted. Then say
ing, “Heap ride,” he stalked ma
jestically away.—Chicago Journal.

SYMPATHY THAT WAS REAL
Youngster, Himself Often in Trouble,
Had a Fellow-Feeling for Prin
cipal in "Hot Water.”
The principal of the school had
said some things which angered
some of the board members, so he
was accordingly summoned before
tliat body. And of course word
went around the building from
teacher to teacher and pupil to pu
pil that the principal was to be
called "on the green carpet.”
Accordingly, the teachers and
the most favored pupils began to
express their indignation of the af
fair, and sympathy for the princi
pal, when along came the "black
sheep” of the building—the boy
who was weekly, and sometimes dai
ly, sent to the principal for his mis
demeanors. He gave the principal
the sort of look one pal in distress
gives to another, and said: “I sure
do feel sorry for you, and I want to
help you all I can. Now, whenever
I know I’ve got to go on the green
carpet I just go and eat a square
meal, and it makes ale so satisfied
with the world and myself that no
one could hurt my feelings. If I
were you now I’d do exactly that
same thing.”—Indianapolis News.

ONCE REGIMENTAL MASCOT.
Cornelius D. Vargas was nomi
nated by President Harding, and
confirmed by the senate to be post
master at Guayama, Porto Itico,
and incidentally there came to light
a bit of romance that harks back
to the days of the Spanish-Ameri
can war. At that time the Fourth
Ohio infantry was stationed in Por
to Itico. Vargas was adopted as a
mascot and when the troops re
turned he was taken to Ohio. While
a member of the Ohio state senate,
President Harding introduced a
resolution by which state funds
were appropriated for his education.
When this was completed Vargas
obtained a position in the Columbus
postoffice. Through the years Var
gas had an ambition to go hack to
his home town as postmaster.
Knowing that, President Harding

“HEALTH TRAINS."
In the interests* of child welfare
it is expected that “health trains-’
will he introduced in Canada this
summer. Such a train will consist
of two cars which will be fitted as
a traveling clinic with a statF of
nurses and a physician in charge.
The cars will carry special “frealth
movies,” a series of charts will be
exhibited and talks on food and
care of their children will be given
to the mothers in every hamlet on
the route. The cars will be backed
on to a siding in the towns where it
is planned to make a stop. The
idea is not a new one, but has been
successfully carried out in New
York state.
