Good Hard Sense in Old Bantu's Comment Natives of the jungles of Africa ure likely to be of u philosophical turn of mind, us is Illustrated by the story of no old Bantu negro told by Dun Crawford, who spent most of his life us a missionary In the wilds of the Dark continent. "1 have lived so long in the long gmss that I think like the I'larks, and | nevi'C talk of Western civilization." Crawford told Seton I "inpson, the naturalist and writer. But Just when I was coming home and wax thinking perhaps tenderly of old scenes and faces, I did one night swank a bit about clvlllzatlor to an old Bantu, who was sitting with me in my hut. I told him i was going to my own country, where they hud ships Unit went under the water, ships that went on the water, and still more ships Hint Hew over the wateft I told hliq lout In English houses you turn a tap und the water Hows, touched a button and the room was Hooded with lightin fact 1 gave him n good glowing description of all the alleged triumphs of civilization. When I had catalogued a much as I could remember I .‘ topped and waited for the old negro to show his surprise. But he Just said: '“ls that all. Mr. Crawford?’ " 'Yes, I think It Is,’ I replied. "Then very slowly and gravely the old Bantu said: ‘“Well, Mr. Crawford, to be better oft Is not always to be better.’ "—Detroit News. Signatures of Great Artists Not Genuine The average old painting has a more colorful past than lias been supposed, Judging by X-ray studies reported from the Roentgen experiment station at the Vienna Central Institute for .Radiology. Three-fourths of the pictures that have the reputation of being painted between the Fifteenth and Eighteenth centuries are not what their proud possessors think they are, (t is estimated. Some of the "old masters" are really not so old, the X-ray reveals. Some are as old as they seem, but the name of a great artist has been forged over the signature of the real painter, a lesser light of the same period. A few paintings wear false color, at a disadvantage. These canvases were originally painted by men of the first rank, and later were stupidly covered by entirely new pfetures, much less beautiful.

Among the Ancients It has been pointed out that the statues and plaques carved in stone and wood to be seen In the Gizeh museum prove that the priest tnummltiers of Memphia 6,000 jrtsiirs ago possessed a profound knowledge of anatomy. Science, therefore, as some one has remarked, is ns old as art, and they have advanced together. Another remarkable fact in this connection Is that excavations In Italy have brought to light scores of finely (pushed suraical instruments for certain operaiions, which are almost In every particular of form like those reinvented in modern times and used by the most advanced surgeons of today. Towns With Odd Names Many are the towns in Georgia with queer names. There is Agnes, Lula and Helen; there is a Stop, a Linger and a Cumslo; and Jimps, Poor Robin. Canoe, Cash. Kuyk, Dot, Ty Ty Joy, Nlcktjnck, Shin Bone and Asbestos, and many more, but the prize for brevity belongs to a little settlement In Gilmer county, which was a long time ago named Al, says tiie Boston Globe. Whether It is a typographical error tor Al or whether the residents ever heard of the common and convenient little cross-word puzzle definition for a three-toed sloth, the record does not say. Beavers Cleanly Animals Beavers are wonderful housekeepers, clean ami orderly. Their beds, which are on the floor a few inches above the water level, are usually strewn with bits of bark, grass or roots left from their food, and while they are always damp, they are clean and well drained. There is no unpleasant, murky odor to their beds. Fresh food is constantly being brought in and eaten and the refuse carried out. The lied of the newly-born beaver differs from that of the adult in that it is softer, being made of grass, leaves, twigs and rootlets that serve as food when it is old enough to eat. Where?

A colored mammy was accustomed to come every Monday to do the family washing. One day the family heard the following conversation take place between mammy and her little son who was tugging at her skirt: "Ma," »• 'dned the youngster, "where does the fire go when it goes out?’ "Husji, child," she replied. “You'd Just as well ask me where your father goes when he goes out.” Painless Parasitic growths of a high-pow-ered civilization, one cynic has declined, regarding the surplus Income of Inflated travelers painlessly but with unerring skill.—Woman's Home Companion. Accomodating Conscience The feminine conscience is seen by at least one. modern woman hater, writing in the American Magazine, M a very accomodating monitor.

COURT HOUSE Wife Seeks Divorce A suit for divorce was filed in circuit court today by Emma Hel/ ’b against Purman Hebble. The cor.pl' l were married May 7. 1914 and separated on June 5, 1926. The plaintiff alleges that the -defendant abandoned her on June 5, 1926 and has failed to provide for her since that time. Mrs. Hebble asks for a divorce and the custody of their minor child. Attorney Nathan Nelson, of Geneva, is counsel for the plaintiff. o Strength of Animals It is Impossible to name the strong est animal it the world, since some of the smallest Insects have more strength In proportion to their weight than some of the largest animals. An ant, for Instance, may carry a load fifteen or twenty times its own weight, while an elephant could scarcely drag twice Its own weight 0 - Defenses of Nevi Orleans The famous trench fortification at New Orleans was originally a canal.
