Study of "Instinct"
It Is a inatter of some dispute ftist to what extent the acUons of ani¬ mals are detenulned by pure unreason- log tDsUncL It bas been stated that a frog wUl snap at any small mov- log object regardless of Its char¬ acter, and of hunger or satiety. Soma BOQerlmeats seem to indicate tbat ttae frog Is capable of_ greater dtscrlm- loatlons than bas 'been credited to bim. Thus, for example, a frog was leered baiiy caterpillars, which It promptly seized, and with equal promptness spit out again. But after about four to seven such Injudicious attempts tbe frog had learned bis les¬ son, and thereafter refused similar (are. In another experiment earth- irorms were so ccmnected with a source of electricity that the frog re- eelved a shock oii' touching the worm. Tha frog duly devoured the-prey, and sbo'wed no sign of discomfort. How- BTer, be refused for seven days to touch another earthworm. Similar¬ ly, the frog would b« taught to avoid ll^orms in which oU of cloves had been spread, although such "doctored" prey Mras not spit out, but only digested.
Lost Llv«« Tnrc .^ Mr«td. To delve Into anclei^jlalea of search- log for gold, it Is remed that when Oortez arrived ou the ct ust uf Mexico early in the Sixteenth century t>e sent greetings to the Aztec king. In re-, plying Montezuma made one fatal blunder. He recommended Cortes to return whence he came, but at tbe same time sent himamimg otber pres¬ ents a "huge gold plate, lartce as a carriage wheel, representing the Im¬ ages of the sun and the moon, and en¬ graved with figures of animals." ,C3or^ tes accepted tbe presents, tfut the gold plate, valued at $2S,000, to Spain, destroyed his ship to prevent disafTec- tl<m among his followers, und set out to conquer Mexico. He and his men overreached themselves. When they were compelled to flee, after having confiscated royal treasure valued at |7.ti0U,00U, Cortes opened tlie treas¬ ures and told bis men to help them¬ selves, but to remember that gold Is heavy. In tlie flghting that followed maity of his warriors lost their lives because tbeir pockets w«re too heayy with gold.

"Short Cuts" Seldom Sajk When you get on the wrong path the only safe thing is to work your way back to the main road. Wisdom wnrns against the short cuts. Thoy might be ull right, but frequently shey are not. It may seem like a great waste of time to retrace your steps, but often that Is the only way you can muke sure of getting bock where you started from. You can't be too careful in the paths of life. A thpu- sand bypaths lend off from life's great purposes and any one of them leads to loss of power and eflSclency. Soma may lead to sudden fame and wealth, but such advantages are few. It's safer far to keep on the beaten path and seek to excel In it Only the strong natnres can resist the perils of the unbeaten ways, or by Intuition de¬ termine the ways that lead to the proper goal. Your task is to make sure of what meets your purposes and then keep to the path until you attain the goal.—Exchange.

Maintain Your Beat Pace. You are unfair to yoursplf when you limit your posslbilitleB to the other fellow's pace. You are not botmd to wear bis handicap. It may be the courteous thing to go as slowly as he does, but that's merely a matter ot condescension and doesn't represent your capacity. Let your own inner urge be ttae compelling force that keeps you to your best pace. You won't be happy dragging along when you should be speeding. Besides this, doing things at slow gait demands more energy than should be used for the operation. To do the work right you should be immersed in It so tbat you give your wbole thought to the thing you do. The fact that every turn is a new challenge keeps you up to your best and assures your best effort To see things being done tbat reflect skUl and ability is the caU that Is answered by still better effort- Grit

Just In Time. While driving through Yellowstoce park wo came to some muddy, clay¬ like ground. Father happened to see a sui'all shack in from the road and decided to go over to see Who lived there. When he was nbout half woy across the field ho noticed a slight movement In the ground. Going over ho found n hole about six Inches wide. Thinking it was an animal, hole he got down on his knees to peer In. We saw a man coiiic running from tlie kut, wnviug hi.s arras excitedly. Fa¬ ther did not hear him because, as he said afterward, he heard a low growl¬ ing in the hole. Then the "animal" came out. "It" Jumped up Ave feet In the air. Father's animal was a the tips of the younger ! ™"<1 Sfyaer, nnd It covered him from The fruit, which ripens In '. *ifad *» f^^ct with yellow mud. The ; mnn, when bo reached father, pointed i smilingly to a sign which read: "Gey¬ ser No. 127. Spurts every 35 min¬ utes." We have nevCT ceased to tease i fattier about his animal.—Chicago Tribune.
