The late Nebuchadnezzar, ancient
king of Babylon, who saw the famous
handwriting on the wall, was no modest
violet. A bit of autobiography he
had inscribed on a cylinder 2.500 years
ago and securely sealed in the wall of
an ancient temple for posterity to dig
up and read, now reposes in the Carnegie
museum at Pittsburgh. Several
of the opening paragraphs are gems
of modest praise. He goes on to say:
"I am Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babyion.
the great, the mighty, the favorite
of Mardnk (Babylonian Cod), the
ruler who knows no weariness." Then
he expatiates at great length on what
a builder of temples and walls, "mountain
high." canals and other structures
he is, and adds, "may the wise men
after nte, read of all my works which

Historic Bells
An odd wooden cage for the heavy
peal, of ancient bells belonging to the
church of East Bergholt, near Ispwlch,
England, has often been noticed. This
elaborate oaken cage stands in the
churchyard. It was built originally In
the early years of the Seventeenth century.
and has been restored recently.
The reason for Its construction was
that the projected and half-completed
church tower was never finished.
There Is a similar, but not quite so
large, timber bell-cage in the churchyard
of Wrabhess, between Colchester
and Harwich.
Throughout the ages bells have been
the heralds of tidings, cheerful and
sad. of news good and ill.

Parrots in New Role
To Illustrate his belief In the future
life of animals, Mr. Elliott 0*Donnell
recently told the following stories I
to the London Times:
A lady living. In Hampstead had a
parrot of which she was very fond.
One of her servants In a fit of rage
killed It. The following day the lady
was at a party, and she noticed that
one of the guests, a gentleman and a
stranger to her, was staring at her.
Later on he was Introduced, and he
said to her: "Do you know why I was
staring at you? It was because 1
saw a parrot sitting on the arm of
your chair and after a while vanish."
The gentleman then described the parrot
he had seen, and convinced the
lady that It was the ghost of her
killed pet
Mr. O'Donnell next referred to a
parrot belonging to an undertaker
who had the bird for 28 years. One
day It remarked to. him, "You are go
Ing to die soon," and a few hours af
terward the bird Itself died. Two or
three days later the undertaker died.
At the Inquest held on hlra, reference
was made to this Incident, and the
query was raised. "Do parrots understand
and are they clairvoyant?"
Worms in Soil
The best treatment for the worms li
the soil, which are net likely to be
doing any harm, la watering severe:
times with lime water, as recom
mended recently. Different kinds ol
worms are found In soil In which there
Is decaying vegetable matter, but the\
are harmless. Castor oil la not li>el>

Smaller and Better
"At the risk of Incurring the scorn of
the go-getters, I think that I shall
withdraw my suppfrt from the Diggerand-better
city movement and devote
It to the smaller-and-better city mowement,"
said Mr. Cato Ninetalls. "There
Is nothing reactionary about this;
quite on the contrary. It Is progressive.
The blgger-and-better movement,
If net as old as the hills, Is doubtless
as old as cities. The smaller-and-better
movement Is a reform, a getting
away from old things, a getting away
from old 'slogans,' as they are so Ineptly
called. The blgger-and-better
movement has been In progress for a
long time, and It has achieved remarkable
results in the way of bigness, but
I nothing at all In the way of better

are incompatible."?Indianapolis

American Nation No Higher Morally Than Western
States of Europe
- " u
By DAVID HARRISON, in English Review (London).
. - ?.
It is submitted that on an impartial survey there is not * shred of
evidence to support American claims to superior morality. However
charming, the individual American with w^jopi our leaders come into
contact, and while recognizing the valuable relief .work parried out {J
in Europe by American effort, the fact remains that the United States }
as a nation is no higher morally than the western states of Europe, and
certain disquieting facts suggest a definite inferiority in some respects, j
Ceuainly her foreign policy during and since the war?with its failure J
to discern any moral difference between the belligerents until her own <
interests were directly touched, her desertion of Europe and Armenia I
during the critical years of the "peace" and her treatment of war debts
on a strictly commercial basis, although her states and cities shamelessly
repudiated their debts after the Civil war?suggests a nation acting deliberately
according to self-interest.

There Are Only Five True Tastes: Sour, Alkaline,
Sweet, Bitter, Salt
4 _.
. - CTendon).
By PROF. D. FRASEK hakivio, m wu^uvM. N
We have only the following true tastes: Acid, or sour; alkaline, or
oapy; sweet, bitter and salt. Vinegar is sour, baking powder is soapy,
sugar is sweet, quinine is bitter and salt is saline. Anything in addition
to these that we may perceive in regard to what we take into the mouth
belongs either to the group of the odors, to that of contacts, or to that of
gensations of heat and cold. In other words, nerves of taste, of smell, of
touch, and of heat and cold are all involved in what we call "tasting" !
anything. If you are asked what the taste of an apple is like you would
reply, "Oh, well, just its own taste, the taste of arf apple." But there is
no such taste; an apple must be sweet or sour; what we call the "taste" of
the apple is its flavor or smell, which can be perceived before the fruit ia
taken into the mouth at all.
