One evening in the year 1920, q 70
male, completely enveloped in long,
black mantle, was walking toward the
bridge of the Ratio in Venice. Her
steps were weak and uneven and, at in.
tervals, she looked around with hur-
xied, frightened glance.
She paused on the centre of the bridge,
and looked down with a shudder on the
clear, blue waters of the Adriatic; then
closing her eyes and murmuring family,
"Antoniol my Antonio, adieul" she pre-
pared to throw herself over the parapet
Just as she was falling a man rushed
forward seized her with a powerful grasp,
and, drawing her back, said: "Girll
destroy not the life which God has given
you. IL you are unhappy enter your
church, kneel on its hallowed pavement,
pour out your sorrow, and thank your
maker that you have been preserved
from rushing, uncalled, into his pres.
encep'
The girl impatiently tried to shake of
the strong, kind hand that held her, and
said: "Let me gol / must die in
peacer'
In another moment she tottered and
fell to the ground, where she lay with
out sense or motion. Her preservel
raised her head, and, in order to give
her air, drew back the veil which con-
cealed her features. They were lovely
and the man gazed on her with wonder
and admiration as she was gradually re.
stored.
By degrees she told him who she was,
and where she lived Her history
might be summed up in a few words:
an avaricious father, a poor lover, a
mutual but unhappy love.
Vainly had Maria pleaded with her
father, rich inn-keeping of Venice, the
cause of her lover, Antonio Barbarigo,
the handsomest gondolier plying be-
meath the Bridge of Signs. At length,
this evening, her father, Gianettini, for
cot himself 50 far as to strike his daugh-
Ger with some violence; and she, with q
far more culpable neglect of her duty,
ran wildly from home, and, as we have
zen, was arrested on the verge of sui.
ide.
The person who had saved her led her
gently to her home, and having given
her up to her father, seated himself IN
an obscure corner of the hosiery.
Gianettini received his child with rude
reproaches; and, bidding her retire to her
own apartment and betake herself to her
spinning, he cast suspicious glance at
the person who had brought her home,
whose stout, manly figure and firm
countenance, however, deferred the inn
keeper from addressing him in a hostile
manner.
AS Maria turned to depart, young
eondolier appeared at the door, and
furtively approaching her, said: Dear

Gianettini rushed forward, shouting
"Out of thisl Out of my house, beg

"Have you finished3" he said, in 9

AN EXCELLENT REASON,

With never a word she passed me by.
With never q look or a sign;
She silently went her way, and
As silently went on mine.
No one could have dreamed who saw her face,
As we so coldly met,
That her heart was touched by the faintest trace
Ofmemory or regret.
Nor do l think that one apart,
Who watched my tranquil brow
Would have guessed that the memory stirred my
heart
OF a fsithless, broken vow.
And they needn't have guessed or wondered, you
see,
For this was the reason why
didn't know her and she didn't know me,
And so-she passed me by.

THE ART OF READING.
the Human Figure and Its Fitness
for Expression.
ICON Iecture by Prof. Brown.l

From a lecture 10y Prof. Brown
Man epitomizes two worlds: the world
# matter and the world of mind He is
the apex of organized matter through
his body, and the summit of all earthly
manifestations of spirit through his soul.
In word, he is soul in organic form.
His body il the extreme upward limit of
physical progress upon the earth. His
soul will vet mark the extreme limit of
psychic progress upon the earth. Thus,
through organization, man becomes both
object and subject in art.
Let us examine the human figure and
its fitness for expression. And first
The human form holds itself against the
downward force of gravity with less ex-
penditure of muscular energy than that
of any land mammal For note: The
whole weight of the body stands verti-
cally above the organs of support. This
releases the muscles of the head. torso
and arms from the downward drag OF
gravity. And, further, We find the large
central organs of the chest and pelvis,
balanced along the line of gravity.
Indeed, We may think of the body as
we'll defind halves, each half jealously
guarding the equilibrium of the whole.
The 527 muscles, 257 of them in pairs,
guard the balance. Thus is made posi-
Bile the first condition of dramatic ex-
preston, that of the subjectivity of the
IS H. ,,aoIs Of tho Soul
Thus does the human structure fulfill
what we conceive to be the design of the
creator; namely, to place on earth be-
ing who should hold itself out of the
degradation of gravity; should in its
escape from gravity avoid friction IN
movement; should thus decrease weight
aud friction to the lowest point consist
ent with size and strength.
Thus we may represent all animal life
as included within the two lines that
form a right angle, and we may say
that the horizontal line is the line Of
greatest enthrallment, and the vertical
line, the line of greatest enfranchlse-
meDt.
Now, if there be no escape from this
law governing organism, Delssrte's law
of structure is justified. In animal pro.
portions, horizontal lines predominate
In human proportions, vertical lines pre-
dominate. This is natures general plan
of structure for all land mammals, man
included, and il is upon the revelations
and implications of these two lines that
Delsartic bases his profound law of radi
ations, which we thus state: Animal
radiations are downwards; human radi
atoms are upward and onward. 1t wa:
rare insight in Delsarte that led him To
formulate this complete emancipation OF
man as the three gravitations. Man
gravitates to the earth through his feet
to humanity through the torso: to the
universe through the eye.
Prof Brown next considered at con
siderable length, the body "a an agent oi
expression. He said: We find there j,
a static, or standing side, aud dynamic
or moving side. The static side is com
paratively inexpensive. Thus the from

represents the mind actively and in tn,

expressive foil for the front

When Philip of Macedon wrote to

single but significant word eff" This
is, perhaps. the finest example of lacon-
ic utterance on record, and was n-
deed worthy of the people who gave
not only local habitation but name
to pithy and sen;entious speech. Greek
and Latin. and in less degree their
offspring of the South European group
of languages, are richer in concise
forms of expression than the division
of the Indo-European family of tongues
to which the German and our own be-
long. The Greeks were more remark
able for simplicity in literary style than
the Romans, a result to which they
were helped as much by their natural
love of beauty and sense of proportion
as by the genius of their language. 1t
was, however, the merit of the Roman
writers that they constantly aimed at
rival NC the s implicitly of their Greek
models, and their success in this par
ticular was the measure of their con-
temporary fame. Tacitus and Sallust
