Brsnn has written an article in his
"vindv" way, on the clasic subjec,
of "IIoop Skirts 1t is known he
wrote 1t, it has some Of his ear
marks, but, strange as 1t may appeal
it is almost half column loog, and
it does cot contain a single allu,ion to
the classic heroes who Fl ured coDspic
uously in the seige Ct Troy, nor q
single hint Of any Of the countless
gods before whom, in the olden time
the learned Greeks, or the naughty
Romans bowed with proper alteration.
Still, Brann wrote it, for he wanted
the "hewgag' sounded and the tom
tom" beaten. The chaste beauty and
mo dest imagery of classic Greek no
longer suits him the apt smile or
glowing metaphor Of more modern
Rome fails to meet the requirements
Of his mental palate-he is reaching
for the gorgeousIess OF the Orient.
The "hoop skirt" article is his first
G fort IL his new style. He will i'm.
prove as he gets better.

A Margin for Thought.

"And friend. when does ,hee think"
questioned the Quaker Of the agile youth
who was glibly recountins how many
hours he gave 10 exercise, amusement
social life. or study. when does thee
Think" The question is one of practical
suggestion 10 most Of us. There is great
zeal in the pursuit Of knowledge, but
knowledge is not wisdom any more than
facts are truth. 1t is one OF the ingredi-
ents-perhaps the chief ingredient-out Of
which wisdom is made. but 1t is not wis
dom Of itself. And while facts lie at the
basis OF truth, they are not in themselves
truth. A man may have a very active in
tellect, he may be eager and energetic
in the pursuit OF information, he may
store 1t away In memory, and after all
derive from II far less actual benefit
than many whose mental stores are less.
Until knowledge is distilled into wisdom
in the crucible of thought it is the mere
raw material and of no special worth.
This is not to say that all ones intellect
ual possessions must be tested by mere
unitarian value. He who does not pos
sess reserved resources is poor indeed.
nut the over-possession Of mere data Is
like the stove choked by fuel, or the
sleighing blocked and stopped by snow
drifts. or the deluge that washes away
all vestige OF the plant. rather than the
rain which stimulates Its growth.
1t is more than an open question
whether the rush and breathless greed OF
requirement in modern life is altogether
conducive TO wisdom; whether those who
dwell a little far from the busy centres
of social activities, and have the advan-
tage of perspective, do not gain more ac-
tual value from the panorama? 1t IS
question whether a day passed beginning
with being present at public reading
at IL; a ladies' LUNCH at Il half dozen
teas and receptions or club meetings
before dinner; dining ont or entertaining
guests at home and assisting In the even
ing at play or party, concert or lecture
n Is a question whether such round as
| ,hIs-busy and brilliant as IL Isis alto
eether conducive TO the truer growth OF
life, TO the higher capitalization OF
thought.
For II is thinking that is the real work
Of life. No study. no reading. no CONVEX
sation. no hearing OF lecture or music
no attendance on drama. is Of much use
until the mind has assimiiated IL ana

Mr. Francis Darwin says concerning
his fathers method OF work: 1T was
his habit to work more or less snulta-
neously at several subjects. Experimental
work vas often carried on as g refresh
ment or variety, while books involving
reasoning and the marshalling OF large
bodies OF facts were being written"
Canon Farrar has been quoted recently
as saving that, IL all the books III The
world were in a blazs those that he would
hasten to snatch from the flames would
be the Bible. the Imitation of Christ

Hunt TO the Holy Land to paint 4 picture

painter shortly after,vard.. he plaintively
raid: Il wanted a nice religious picture.

Once while canvassing his State during
a political season. John Quincy Adams

family when you were boy, and often
combed your hair" Well" said Mr..
Adams, sharply: Il suppose she combs
