From The Thinker.

From The Thinker.
To the student OF ecclesiastical history the little
island OF St Honorat is one of the most impressive
spots I'm Europe. Almost invisible on the map. It
ut time occupied a most conspicuous position
in the eyes Of the world as one OF its great hiss
torical sites. As centre OF intellectual and moral
influence It had. Montacmbert truly says. Q
greater effect upon the progress OF humanity than
any famous isle OF the Grecian Archipelago. ;.
1t may well be called the Iona OF the South. II 10
n remarkable circumstance that two little insig-
nificant islands one I'm the far north amid the
dark clouds and msts Of the wild Atlantic. and
the other In the far south, under the brilliant blue
sky, and lavcd by the buer waters OF the Mediter-
ranean. should have formed the centres which drew
to them. and from whence were dispersed. all the
spiritual and intellectual forces Of Christendom
during its darkest ages.
Meeting one day one OF those wretched lepers,
who were as common IN Europe In the early
orat took him home TO his own and began
to anoint his terrible sores Suddenly the dreadful
mask Of deformity fell OF. and the SCARED face
transnsured leper he beheld with nexp!essible awe
no other than the Lord Jesus Himself.

not doing so. The student Of the Arnoeba nap
mems 10 be not an Amoeba. but a specimen OF
a highly developed vertebrate, and knows III
least something about the differentiated organs
and functions of his own body" The faliacy Oh
interpreting the mental processes OF the lower
animals by those of the investigator Is wen
known and frequent. Now Hegers method wou'o
guard against this error. He would. had ne peeh
a scientist, seek to eliminate the purely human
from his comparative problem and then MS IN

points out, modern observers too frequently use
Hegers method without its safeguards at the
same time vehemently claiming that tney are

thing in the nature Of anecdotical or pograph-
ical detail. The result Is massive ana yet co"'-
pact discussion Of the progress OF thoueh' iioi''
the earliest Greek enlightenment down 10 the
present day. Professor Falckenberg not Only
deals with modern thought, he also gives soi'e
particulars as TO the thinkers. The TWO his'o-
rans agree pretty closely as TO the s'aru"s
point of the modern period. for Falckenoerg De-
gins his book with Nicolas Of Cusa as lndspeh-

only difference is that Windelband would place

From The London Truth. $50.
Humor was not Tennyson's forte Once upon q
time he wrote poem called The Skipping Rope"
which appears in the second CAloxon's) edition o.
poems by Alfred Tennyson. Thus II runs:
Sure, never yet was antelope
Could skip lightly by.
Stand of, else my skipping rope
VIII hit you in the eye
How lightly whirls the skipping rope
How fary-like you fly
Go, get you gone. you muse and NOPE.

Nay. dearest. teach me how to hope,
Or tell me how TO die.

A EOOK OF TRANSACTIONS

A handsomely made volume of transIatons
from the Italian comes to us from Macmillan C
Co. 1t presents under the title OF italian Lyrists
Of To-Day" collection Of verses by contemporary
poets with biographical notices, and an intro
duction by G. A. Greene. the translator So far
as this scholarly preface and the personal records
give information not otherwise attainabe. con-
corning Italian poets and the present condition Of
Italian poetry the book is valuable; but We cannot
say as much for the transations which are mostly
stiff and unpoetical. 1t Is question whether It
it is ever really worth while to translate a
poem Not often Is the original perfume Of
poetry left In 1.-THE soul OF the poem cannot be
transferred to another mortal frame t,-.-
We give below the four poems which 1t seems
to us Mr.. Greene has been reasonably successful
In translatng. The first Is by Ersllio Blcci, the
second by Augusta Ferrero the third by Giovanni
Pascol, and the last by Annie Vivanti.

To hear the sudden striking Of clock
And Oh the mooness night The darkling night
What chill. what panic did my heart alright.
No voice o. the street, sound Of the oceans

A blind abyss the dark room yawned before
BY the cold horror of the void oerthrown,
Terror OF silence, dread OF the unknown
Fell leaden my SOUL Thereafter drear.

Proclaim the striking OF ny latest hour.

stock seemed to he established and the buying
was admitted to I've almost exclusively for the
short account. During the Jay, indeed. there
was no talk about the worth of the stock as Il
permanent investment. The early trading was
controlled by fear that the stock could not be OBJ
tanned TO protect outstanding contracts, and that
the borrowing rates would be further advanced
