BTawn Necessary for Brain. St. Louis Republican.

The Spartan youth were trained from infancy for a soldiers life. Then muscle might was the great power, Nowadays brain power is tho ac- knowledged might. Mind must con- tend with mind. This Is the law in every phase ot life, Why, then, do not people do as much for the mental as tho ancients did for the physical mane" We arc a common. sense peo- pie; yet, with all our common sense, we have let the money fever so bciim our vision that whatever will not im- mediately and actually pan out dimes and dollars is looked on as useless. What athlete would bc SO foolish as to enter Into competition without "training?" Our professional base. ball players, runners, wresslers, etc., devote time to preparing and oon,il- tioning themselves previous to at tempting in public the feats which they make A speciality. Yet parents expect their girls and boys to rise on the ladder of fame, while they con- demn the very things calculated to give them brain strength to do SO.

No Frills for Him.
Northern Budget.

A tall old man, with rather a va. cant look and a hesitating air, ven. tured slowly into the dining hall of s large uptown hotel the other evening in New York. It was the usual din. ner hour, and the long room was filled with guests. The old man paused scrutinized his cuff and his waistcoat and after making what seemed to he a helpless effort to see the back of his neck, he beckoned to the head waiter That functionary hastened up, and the old man said:
 "Waiter, do l look right, tidy, you know?"
 The waiter inspected the venerable guest critically for moment, and then assured him that all was in order.
 "Necktie all right?"
 "Yes, sir"
 "Collar- button show?"
 "Not at all, sir.n
 'No spots on my coat?"
 Not a spot"
 "The general effect is pretty slick, is it?"
 "very, sir"
 "Well, you see, waiter" said the old man, confidentially, "I came down to breakfast one day last week with out any collar, and my son James was very angry 90 yesterday when I came in to lunch with my necktie under my left ear, he said if anything like that happened again he would have my meals served upstairs. Do you know my son James, waiters"
 "Yes, sir"
 "Is he here at dinner now?1
 "No, sir he finished about ten min. utes ago."
 "Are you sure?"
 Perfectly, sir"
 "Weil, then, waiter," said the old man, in relieved tones, "if you are cer- tain of 1t, you tell the man at our table to hustle in some corned beef and cabbage, and not to play any of his French business on me, or IT, break his neck"

Gayety Among the French.
London Trutl

q
 The Irish are the gayest and most underfed people in the world, save the Spaniards, who are happy on a crust of bread, an onion and cup of water. Goldsmith remarked that the gayety of the Frenchman was in an inverse ratio to the weight of his purse. This is true in our time as in his. Nothing is more dull, more formal, more in- hpid, more inane, than social evening gathering of French who usually dine on trente-six plats. They have no life in themselves, and have to get bouffe opera singers to stir them up. And even at laughing at these they are dull. On the other hand there is al- ways fun and go among the poor, hard-worked French. It is this class which furnishes priestesses to the laughter loving goddes, who sweep here the wealth of the world to her altar. Mile Schneider, Jeanne Gra- nier, Leonide Leblanc, Theresa Judic and Milly Meyer rose from poverty to Opulence.

A NEW NOVEL.
Editorial in Louisville Commercial.


 Opie r. Read, editor ot THE ARK ANsAw TRAVELLER, has written novel called Len Gansett." As this Is the first book from this widely quoted humorist, the reading public opened 1t, expecting to be greeted by sketches of the "Bill" Wye and Buryiette order, but found, instead, a story of real lite, told realistically and invested with an interest that is never dulled. The scene of the novel is laid in Arkansas, country with which the author Is perfectly familiar. He has made a study of the humble people that live and have their being so naturally in his story. In their homes and by their firesides he has met them. Their It, tie jealousies, their dangerous quar- rels, their rough humor, their log rollings, their sorrows, their simple pleasures, and their vices, arc all pic. tured with absolute fidelity.
 His canvas is broad, his colors strong, his drawing free and correct, his perspective admirable. He Is not literary landscape artist, but mas. ter In figure painting. Len Gaaseft, a manly specimen, makes possible hero that we can love for his integ- rity, his talent and his sense of right. He fairly walks from between the covers ot Mir. Reads book to greet the reader, And after him come Ned Hobdy, the rural angel in frcckles old man Ho6dy, whose dams" are fre- quent and as vigorous as & chronic sufferer from "rheumatiz" can make them; Honeycutt, a villain whom 1t Is pleasure to have about to vent ones anger on; Dockery, editor of The Pickett, subsequently, a member of the legislature and again editor-in- chief of The Edgie 0f Freedom, a good -natured bloviator, whose meek ness in the matrimonial market Is most ludicrously described; Colonel Bentiy, who is above suspicion until his true character Is learned Parso,, Nurrdy, with the wonderful appetite, who stopped at the log rolling be- cause "he must've smelt the pot a. -b'ilin';" Brdiey, the type of char acter in every rural region, who works aot cNcA OHC uut HitiHtlty WtOhe noube is filled with children and whose hec. toring wife makes life a constant misery to him; Mort Hdney, Asa Moore, Andy Tillotson and Rufus Mo lone-all these carefully drawn char acters play their parts with such ease and freedom that one half suspects they are flesh and blood people whom the author has known.
 It is not pretentious story. Tolstoi never told one more simply There Is no attempt at show no stralning after effect, no gaudiness, no prettiness any where. There Is flavor of soil about 1t. The occasional odor of wild flowers blows in the open open door from the forest outside. As one would say of q boldly executed, successful painting there is an atmosphere about it.. There isn't a puppet in the story. Each character has Its own paths. It's own environments. With one 1t is the doggery and the midnight brawl; with another patience, sacrifice, nobility of disposition, devotion to home and duty.

n the way back time a fishing excursion Was set down for a month ahead. and 1t depended on how well we got along with the potatoes and corn. We got our outfit ready fortnight ahead of time. We hunted out the best spots for fish, worms, planned every detail over and over again, and dreamed of creeks and fish and fish, hooks right along every night. The days seemed never-ending, but when we could say "To-morrow!" we dug bait enough to catch every thing in Lake Erie, gave our poles and lines last looking over and went to bed an hour earlier so as to hurry the night along. Hurry? It was the longest night of the yeari We went over the ground a dozen times. planned everything anew, and got up . score of times to see if the weather was likely to change and bring . bad day.

THE OLDEST C
Formations Largely Developed In Northern

. vi 10 AvVu
America and Europe.
Oldest Of all the formations known
TO g~eolO-ist>. and representing perhaps
the earliest rocks produced after our
earth had ceased to he a molten mass.
are the hard. crystalline and much-cOn.
tOrted rocks named by the late Sir W.
E. LOyan Laurentian. and which are
largely developed in the northern parts
Of North America and Europe. and in
many other regions. So and
extensive. indeed, are the exposures Of
these rocks. that We have good reason
to believe that they underlie all the
other formations of our continents. and
are even worldwide in their distribu-
ton. In the lower part Of this great
system Of rocks. which. in some places
at least. is thirty thousand feet in
thickness. we find M traces of the ex-
istence of any living thing on the earth.
But, in the middle portion of the
L%anrentian. rocks are found which in
dictate that there were already land and
water. AID that the waters and possibly
the land were already tenanted by liv-
ing beings. The great beds of lime
stone which exist in this part of the
system furnish one indication of this.
In the later geological formations the
limcs:ones are mostly oryanic-that is.
they consist Of accumulated remains
Of shells. cOrals and other hard parts of
marine animals. which are composed
of calcium carbonate. which the animals
obtain directly from their food. and in.
directly from the calcareOus matter
dissolved in the sea-water. In like
manner great beds Of iron ore exist in
the Lamrentian: but in later formations
the determining cause of the accumula-
tion Of such beds is the partial deOxida-
ton and solution of the peroxide Of
iron by the agency Of organic matter.
Besides this. certain forms known as
Cocoon Canadense have been rccogg-
nized in the Lsurentian limcstOnes.
which indicate the presence ut least Of
~ Of the lower types Of marine AMI
mails. Where animal life is. we may
fairly infer the existence of vegetable
life as well. since the plant Is the only
