Teeth of Elephants
An elephant hns eight teeth, two
above and two below on each side.
They are huge yellow molars as wide
a a man's hand. -Over these their
food Is shifted by the queerest, upllest
ongue In the whole animal kingdom.
Elephants, like human beings, have
wo sets of teeth. The milk teeth,
which are smaller than the permanent
molars, fall out when the animals are
fourteen years old.

Sedentary occupations may be com

require as much food fuel as those en

their diets. -Grit.
Otto H. Kahn, liiterrtiona! bajiktr
of New York, who for more Umn oO
years has operated amor.g the money
king? on Wall Street, in an address
before the Harvard Business Club
School several weeks ago, lelU us how
to be rich and happy. Ten principles
he lays aown may be summed up as
follows :
1. Never do anything perfunctori
ly. Every task is a test. No matter
how trivial, your manner of perform
ing it will testify for or against you.
Mr. Kahn illustrated this point by
telling how he once obtained pro
motion by licking more stamps than
either of the two other stamp lickers
who worked with him for a firm that
sent out hundreds of circulars a day.
2. Remember that the most ' ser
viceable of all assets is reputation. It
works for you twenty-four hours a
day.
3. Think! Exercise the spring-s of
your brain as you exercise the mus
cles of your body.
4. Go for a ride on the horse of
your imagination from time to time.
But remember it is a hiph-stning an
imal and needs keeping under care
ful control.
6. Be ready, be prepared, but
know how to wait. By all means
keep a sharp lookout for opportunities.
6. Consider as one of the essential
requisites of vour diet a supply of the understand and
I milk of human kindness. Be neigh
1 borly, be a good sport.
7. Work hard. Don't spare
self. Don't lose your ideals.

Tested by Difficulties
Difficulties show what men art. II
they do not overcome them they de
monstrate lack of power In one dlree

them, they prove capacity of one kind
or another. Difficulties test man as
nothing else can. Grit

Odd Writing Material
Bladebones of sheep were used by
the Arabs as material on which to
write when paper was unknown and
many famous sayings have been found
on these remarkable "paper substitutes."
