Tomorrow will be tho longest day
of the year. After lingering around
for a few hours at tho second turn,
til* earth will then beglu to crawl
back to where It belongs, bringing
spring day i, poets and thoughts of
lore.
Speaking astronomically, the
earth Is uearer the sun iu winter
than lu summer, all on account of
It* egg shape trail around the fiery
plauet, but because that part of it
upon which we have the pleasure of
living is lopped over like a drunken
Sailor, It does not get the full force
of the ultra violet rays and the
e pluribus uuuru energy ; this causes
a deflection of the radiator and a
ricoch-tlng of the spark plug.
After the earth gets around to
this part ot Alaska it begins to
brace up and take on airs of Inde
paudence, looking the sun in the
(ace and denouncing it for its con
servation policy. The sun was the
Urst conservationist; it put all the
coal in these valleys and hills and
the deep b?>wels of the earth, where
it seems destined to remain until
lime shall be no mori
Solar astronomy is a big question,
a burning one as it were. Treating
il in its entirety, with the scientific
accuracy which always characterizes
the writings of this department,
would take too much of our valuable
space, so we will close with the il
luminating observation that spring
U earning hitherward.
The publication of the revised
version of the Bible by the Baptist
publication society, is meeting with
the criticisms that are usually show
ered upon any changes from the
standards laid down by the theolo
gians of tho middle ages. The most
noticeable change is that of the
Lord's Prayer, which seems to five
It clearer comprehenalon than did
the earlier Interpretations. It will
he noticed that the customary clos
ing word "Amen" la omitted. It be
ing clalmcu that It waa never a
part of the prayer, but was frequent
ly introduced by subsequent creed
makers as a sort of ratification of
faith The new tranelatlou reads:
"Our Father, who art lu Heaven,
hallowed bo thy name. Thy king
dom come. Thy will be done, aa In
Heaven so on earth. Olve us this
day our dally bread. And forgive
us our debt as we also have forgiven
our debtors. And bring us not In
to temptation, but deliver us trom
the evil one."
lit a contest In Chicago recently
to determine which 25 word* are
worth being considered the most
beautiful la the English language,
the first prite was won with the
words printed below. From these
the judges struck four ? grace, di
vine, justice and truth, as lacking
m euphony compared to the other
words of the Hat. Theae are the
J5 words selected: Melody, splen
dor, adoration, grace, eloquence, vir
tue, innocence, modesty, faith, peace
nobility, joy, honor, love, divine,
heaven, hope, harmony, happineaa,
purity, justice, liberty, radiance and
sympathy.
Grace and justice were struck out
because of the harshness of the
"g" in grace and the "j" in justice.
The word truth had a metallic sound
so the judges declare, and dlvise,
while beautiful In the sentiment im
plied, licked euphony.
The reason that the Turk Is
designated bs "unspeakable" ia be
cause he can't pronounce aome of
those war correspondent names.

CHE question is constantly asked whether our colleges prepare
their students to be successful in after life. In nine cases
out of ten the man who asks this question MEASURES
SUCCESS IX TERMS OF WEALTH.
HE THINKS OF THE WHOLE WORLD AS PLAYIRQ A GAME
IN WHICH MONEY IS THE PRIZE AND THE MAN WHO MAKES
MOST MONEY IS THE WINNER. IF THIS WERE THE RIGHT WAY
TO LOOK AT LIFE THE INQUIRY WOULD BE AN OVERWHELM
INGLY IMPORTANT ONE.
The true measure of a man's success is the service which he
renders, not the pay which he exacts for it. The TECE MEAS
URE OF A MAN'S ABILITY IS THE POWER TO HELP
OTHERS and to contribute to their advancement. The effqrt to
nake monev is an important incentive to social service and industrial
progress, but the amount of wealth each man acquires is NO AC
CURATE INDICATION of the service he has rendered or the
progress he has made possible.
H any one were to ask whether West Point or Annapolis pre
pared men for success in after life we should see the absurdity. oi the
{Hestion. It is true that many of the graduates of these institutions
ire able engineers or successful men of business. But it is NOT
FOR THE SAKE OF TnESE THINGS THAT WE ESTAB
LISHED OUR MILITARY SCHOOLS and not by their success in
producing engineers and business men that the value of tbesc schools
? measured.
