MUCH DIFFERENCE
' IN MORAL ATTITUDE
French and English Do Not
See Eyo to Eye.
The Kngllih language and the Anglo
- ' Saxon temper distinguish sharply be
tween manners and moral*. Maimer*
are desirable things, excellent things;
they should be taught early and con
stantly maintained; but they are su
' perflclal, secondary; and the possessor
of commendable morals may be some
times excused If his manners are In
adequate. Indeed, there Is often a feel
ing that manners are not only superfi
cial, but artificial; that an excess of
them Indicates insincerity and hypoc
risy; and that a finely finished bear
ing suggests an Insufficient moral
basis, says a writer In the Youth's
Companion.
The French attitude Is qiflte differ
ent In fact, the French have the
same word for manners and for mor
al®, and there is, If not a confusion,
at least a constant interplay between
the two. In French a moralist Is not
a person who passionately preaches
improvement of the spiritual nature,
but a student of human life and char
acter and motive. Indeed, the identity
of thought goes back beyond the
French language to the Latin, in which
the word mores, the direct original of
our morals, means primarily manners
and customs.
The Anglo-Saxon is naturally scorn-,
ful of the Latin attitude, assuming,
that it Implies mistaking mere cour
tesy for solid virtue. At the same
time it is by no means certain that
there is not a deeper truth In the
French view of the matter. Morals
deal with our relations to others. Mat
thew Arnold said that conduct was
three-fourths of human life. Arnold's
mathematics may be disputable, but
■t any rate conduct Is a very great
part of life and conduct Is morals and
morals is that part of life which Is
concerned with our dealings with other
lives. Now, if we reflect a moment,
we shall see that all that is really
beautiful and valuable in- manners is
-■ also a matter of our relations to oth
ers. True politeness, true courtesy,
art not based on display or effect, but
wholly on kindness; on a quick and
sure apprehension of what will help
others, will soothe them, will make
them feel at their ease. The essaence
at all good manners Is to cultivate
and to strengthen the habit and the
power of putting yourself In another's
place. And thus manners and morals
are not so far apart after aIL

Hoar of Death
For some time there baa been a
prevalent Idea that more people die at
midnight than at any other hour. This
has led to an Investigation of the 24,-
742 natural deaths that occurred 1b the
borough of Manhattan, New York,
during 1023. Jt was found that fewer
people died at midnight than at any
other hour of the day. The heaviest
mortality took place between the hours
of 1 and 8 l il, those small hours
of the moraine hi which doctors have
long declared that vitally Is at its low
est The number of deaths were low
est from eight o'clock to midnight
For the 24 hours of the day deaths
occurred as follows: 1 a. m., 1.254;

Ancient French Title
The title "dauphin" waa borne by
the hdraapparent to the crown of
France, under the Valola and Bourbon
dynastlea. la 1346. Humbert 11, the
last of the princes of Dauphlne, hav
ing no lasoe, left his domains to Philip
of Valola, klngot France, on condition
that the king's sldeat son be called the
dauphin.
The first dauphin waa Jean, after
wards John the flood, and the last the
Due (TAngooleme, son of Oharles X,
who renounced the title in 1830. It
la said that Guy vm, an anceqgor of
Hnmbert H, waa surnamed Le Dau
phin, because he wore a dolphin as an
emblem on his helmet or shield. This
surname remained to his descendants,
who were styled Dauphins, and the
country they governed was called Dau
phlne. The wife of the danphln waa
called the dauphin*.—Kansas City Star.

Go Up Into These Mines
One usually thinks of mines as deep
and far below the surface of the earth.
But In Bouth America many of the
moat famous mines are not only deep
but also high In the air, being situated
la the lofty ranges of the mighty-
Andes. At this place, where one of
the largest and richest copper mines
In the world Is being worked by an
American copper corpora tlotov the mine
is 1,000 feet deep and more than 14,000
feat above aea-lev*l. To reach It from
Lima dfae crosses a mountain paas by
railroad at an elevation of more than
15,300 feet above sea levaL One of the
newest Parari*n copper mines Is en
tered at tfet jwttom, the miners work
ing upward inside the mountain toward
veins which rise vertically.
Disposel of "Dead Jitters"
Letters and other mall matter which
cannot for any reason be delivered are
sent to the dead letter office. Where
poaribie the dead letter office returns
this mall to the senders. Otherwise
the letters are destroyed. Valuable ar
ticles are kept for a certain length of
time la the office. Some time ago the
Post Office department sold at public
auction a large number of such ob
jects. Inquiries respecting lost msil
should agive the dste when It wss

Cat Has Gained Fame
as Weather Prophet
Rver since the total szllpee of the
ran sclent lata, storekeepera and post
boy* In Mlddletown, Oenn., have had a
wholesome respect for Weathervana,
the meteorological cat of Kast Hamp
ton, which haa been offered to Presi
dent Coolldge by Ita owner, Louis
James, the Boston Transcript says.
The cat predicted fair weather for
the eclipse when all the as'tronomers
who came to Mlddletown to set up
their instruments to view the eclipse
j were getting cold feet and taking out
! ra'n Insurance to protect their expedl
j tlons from loss If the rain should come
:on that day. The success of Weather*
I vnne's prediction on that occaaion won
I him name and fame as surely as did
I the prediction of the 1888 billiard for
| the late Horace Johnson of Middle
Haddam.
Weathervane was a foundling and
was picked up by Kills Hughes of Eakt
- Hampton and taken to a warehouse in
j that village. Mr. Hughes told Richard
Gillon, an employee, to give the cat a
j bed of blankets and to allow It the run
*j of the warehouse. Mr. Hughes now
I claims he showed the cat a thermom
j eter, and declared that la what stirred
, the meteorological Instincts of the ani
mal.
Later Louis James took the cat
| home to his wife, who gave It some
j catnip and three meals a day. The
| cat thrived under this treatment and
soon began to predict the weather with
| a success that bade fair to rival tbat
of the United Statea weather bureau.

Radium in Trash Heap
A needle containing 11,000 worth
of radium waa lost four daya from the
, operating room of St Michael's hospi
tal in Newark, N. J. It waa missed
after an operation, and doctora took
X-ray photographs of the patient un
der the belief that the needle, which i*
no longer than a very small sewing
needle, might *have remained In the
wound. After further aearch a radium
company of Orange, volunteered uae
of a detecting device. When the In
i atrument, which has a dial on which
i a hand awlnga when radium ia near,
was first tried In the operating room,
the hand did not move. Then someone
i suggested that the incinerator, where
I trash is burned be Inspected. As soon
as the device was brought close to
the Incinerator, the hand awuag around,
i Police and boapltal attaches sifted tha
aabea and found the needle.
Not Entirely Impeccable
Among recent episcopal stories Is one
of a dinner party given by the bishop
of London. According ta Mrs. Stirling,
author of "Life's Llttie Day":
"Dean Inge was dining with the bish
op of London, and among others pres
ent wss the bishop of Winchester.
Wines and liquors were handed round,
and bot'i London and Winchester
waved them away. The dean took
champagne, port and liquor. Then ci
gars were banded round. 'No, thank
you,' said London. 'Not for me,' aald
Winchester. The dean helped himself
