DO YOU KNOW YOUftSELF?
Ask a Trua Friend to Picture You ao
You Appear to Him.
Few people—in fact, very few
people indeed—ever realize the
priceless value of the ancient coun
sel, “Know thyself.” It seems so
trite, so ordinary. It seems so easy
to acquire—this knowledge. Does
not every one possess it? Can it ,
not be got by simply sitting down :
in a chair and yielding to a mood ? j
And yet this knowledge is just j
about as difficult to acquire as a j
knowledge of Chinese. Certainly ;
nine hundred and ninety-nine peo- j
pie out of a thousand reach the age
of sixty before getting the rudi
ments of it. The majority of us die
in almost complete ignorance of it.
And none may be said to master it
in all its exciting branches. Why.
you can choose any of your friends
—the wisest of them—and instantly
tell him something glaringly obvi
ous about his own character and
actions and be rewarded for your
trouble by an indignantly sincere
denial! You had noticed it; all his
friends had noticed it. But he had
not noticed it. Far from having
noticed it, he is convinced that it
exists only in your malicious imagi- i
nation. For example, go to a friend j
whose sense of humor is notoriously j
imperfect and say gently to him,
“Your sense of humor is imperfect,
my friend,” and see how he will re
ceive the information. So much for
the rarity of self'knowledge.
Self knowledge is difficult because
it demands intellectual honesty. It
demands that one shall not blink
the facts, that one shall not hide
one’s head in the sand and that one
shall not be afraid of anything that
one may happen to see in looking
around. It is rare because it de
mands that one shall always be able
to distinguish between the man one
thinks one ought to be and the man
one actually is. And it is rare be
cause it demands impartial detach
ment and a certain quality of fine
shamelessness— the shamelessness
which confesses openly to oneself
and finds a legitimate pleasure in
confessing. By way of compensa
tion for its difficulty the pursuit of
self knowledge happens to be one of
the most entrancing of all pursuits,
as those who have seriously practic
1 ed it are well aware. Its interest is
inexhaustible and grows steadily.—
i Arnold Bennett in Metropolitan.

Touching Memories.
“A friend of mine traveling in
! Ireland,” said a federal official,
j “stopped for a drink of milk at a
! white cottage with a thatched roof,
| and as he sipped his refreshment he
i noted on a center table, under a
i glass dome, a brick with a faded
red rose upon the top of it.
' “ ‘Why do you cherish in this
' way,’ my friend said to his host,
I‘that common brick and that dead
1 rose ?’
“‘Share, sir,’ was the reply,
‘there’s certain memories attachin
to them. Do ye see this big dent in
my head? Well, it was made by
that brick.'
“‘But the rose?’ said my friend.
I “llis host smiled quietly,
j “ ‘The rose,’ he explained, ‘is off
the grave of the man that threw
| the brick.”’—New York Tribune.
Languages In the Balkans.
Albania, Bulgaria and Roumania,
although contiguous to one an- j
other, speak three totally different J
languages. The Bulgarian tongue
is that of ancient Russia, and Rou
manian resembles that of ancient
Rome more closely than modern
Italian does. Albanian has no mark
ed affinity with any other language,
though philologists have discovered
in it some slight traces of Basque
and Hungarian influence. Yet,
strangely enough, the three lan
guages have one peculiarity in com
mon—that of putting the article at
the end of the word it qualifies.
Thus the title of the leading finan
cial paper of Bukharest is Curierul
Financial1—the Financial Courier,
“u!” being Roumanian for “the.”
" Heroic Rescue.
Three-yestf-old Montague and
two-year-old Harold were having a
bath together in the big tub.
Mother left them a moment while
she went into the next room. , Sud
denly a succession of agonized
shrieks recalled her. Two drippiug,
terror stricken little figures stood
clasped in each other's arms in the
middle of the bathroom floor.
“Oh. mother.” gasped Montague,
“I got him out! I saved him! The
stopper came out. and we were go
ing down!”
A Substitute Support.
“Out1 honeymoon is over, 1 must
get back to business,” opined the
groom.
“I cannot let vou leave me,” de
clared the bride. “1 must have
something to lean on.”
“Well, my dear, 1 must earn our
living. You’ll have to lean on the
mantelpiece for a few hours every
day.”—Kansas City Journal.
