"Tt is a mistake to suppose, as many
do, that Burns was altogether given up
to gallantry and carousal," writes Ar
thur Warren in the Ladies' Home Jour-
nal. HE was not, and he never pre-
tended to be, an exemplary character.
Whatever he did he did with all his en-
ergy. He WAS a creature Of emotions
and strong passions. His nature was
undisciplined. The right influences for
the discipline of such a character as
his were but seldom around him. The
Influences he knew were all too severe
and repressive on the one hand, or all
too lax on the other. He was subject
to moments of fiery enthusiasm, and to
days Of acute remorse. But, for all
that, he worked, and worked hard. He
used to say that he could not conceive
q more mortify1ng picture Of human life
than a man seeking work. Make work,
he would say, and he made it. On
the other hand, Burns WAS honestly
touched by real evidences of devoted
living, and especially among the poor.
The old Scotch habit of family worship
always appealed to him, and he would
suffer on one to make sport of IL. There
were some recollections that were sa-
cred to him through life, and one of
these was Of his father. who, as the
household gathered aSOund the ingle,
would kneel, saying simply, Let US
worship God and then, with patriarch
al grace read from the big haBible.'
And all this was something more than
a memory, for when Robert had won
wide recognition as poet, and all Scot
land was flattering him, he passed the
tedious weeks OF a long illness in a
study of the Scriptures. While in one
of his dark moods, feeling that pov-
erty must always be before him, he
said: 'But l have sturdily withstood
these buffetings many a hard-labored
day, and still my motto is. I Darer
Burns ever contemplated with indigna-
ton the inequality of human condi-
tons, and the contrast between his
own worldly circumstances and his in
tellectual rank. He expressed this
thought q thousand times, In a thou
sand ways"

B.lzac on Color Influence.

Balzac's curious specula tions suggest
The extent to which color influences our
human life. He had noticed that a
woman who had taste for orange or
green gowns was quairelsome; one who
wore a yellow or black apparel, without
apparent cause, was lot to be trusted;
preference for white showed a coQuette
spirit; gentle and thoughtful women
prefer pink, women who regard them.
selvesas being unfortunate prefer pearl
gray; lilac is the shade particularly af.
fected by ''overripe beauties;;" where
fore. the great author held. lilac hats
are mostly worn by mothers on their
daughters marriage day and by women
more than 40 years old when they &c
visiting.
These theories are founded upon the
principles Of color, AS already laid down
namely, that red and yellow excite;
green, tempered by blue, Is bilious;
orange is fiery; gray Is cold and melan-
,hoiy; lilac is a light shade Of purple,
the most retiring color of the scale.-

Digging Up . Dead World.

There ID something of the air o.
the fairy tale about the cableRram
telling OF discoveries at Laurium
'.rivalin0 those of POmpeii," but it
will not do to discredit it too readily
says the St. Louis Republic
The world has lost a good deal by
being incredulOus in such matters
and the surprising discoveries OF the
last fifteen years would not have been
made at all except for such men as
Schliemann, who was enthusiastic
enough to brave r.dicule.
The entire learned world scOffed
when Schliemann calmly announced
that he proposed to dig up the bones
Uf AgamemnOn and Clytemnestra at
Mycen@, the wide-wayed city, rich in
gold, as Homer called it But the
learned word held its breath in en-
vious astonishment when the inds-
fatiHabie amateur dug into the roy al
bs and found the kinHly dead of
those old times lying in state,
crowned with splend. ID diadems; with
golden masks over their foces; with
golden belts studded with jewels:
with thin plates Of gold covering
their dress; with richly lniaid wea-
pous and gold-studded sheaths; the
women with the most splendid neck.
laces, broaches and bracelets and
both kings and queens surrounded
by the gold and silver vessels they
had used during life.
There is nothing in the fairy stories
more astonishing than what Schlie-
mann found at Mycen3 when be un-
dertook to dig up Agamemnon. And
even IL it were not Agamemnon he
did dig up the learned scoffers were
TOO much dumfOunded at his success
to wish to argue the case againS
him.
In these two or three tOmbs the
gold found had an intrinsic value OF
over $40, 900. its value to art being
simply inestimable. But even greater
discoveries we're made in the excava.
tions at Olympia, DOdODa, De:os,
Tanagra, Epidaurus. Eleusis. and
other Greek cities. At Olympia, FOL
instance, was found the statue Of
Mercury described by Pausanias as
ono of the treasures Of the temple. 1t
is certainly the work OF Praxiteles.
and though the right arm is broken
above the elbow and both legs are
gone below the knees it is invaluable
as an illustration Of Greek art
The total result Of all these ex.
ploratiOns In localities from which il
was supposed that all articles OF
value had long ago been removed was
4 splendid addition to the treasures
H.,
schools OF design.
1t is impossible to guess what may
be found at Laurium. but 1t has been
demonstrated that by diligent use o!
the spade we are likely to learn Nore
OF the dead and buried world than
we have ever believed possible.
