J. D. BARRY READ.
Miss NJ. E. Ford began a series OF literary con-
ferences at the Waldorf Saturday morning.
1t Is the purpose Of these conferences to present
studies Of life In literature In most informal
manner after which few present by invitation,
will take part in brief discussion.
The subject Of the first lecture was Literature
In Its Bearings on Everyday Life" The lecturer
believes literature has remade history: instead Of
dry annals, we find the new history as charming
as a romance
The gospel Of literature Is atru!sn In life OF SER
vice, of doing good. The nineteenth century devo-
ton 10 indvidualism is due largely to GOethes in
fIence. the speaker said. and Herbert Spencer also
defends egoism while Drummond defines altrusm
as the female element and egosm as the male
principle. perhaps because the maternal element Is
considered the germ OF all altruism.
In the present effect OF literature on our lives
Miss Ford believes the myth poems have played an
important part, as they originated in the dawn OF
time. when man walked nearer to God. and the
poems the whisperings OF the Infinite. The
Oldest themes are the best sources of inspiration
to-day, because they touch our common life at
nearly every point.
Illustrations were drawn from the music dramas
Of Wagner founded the oldest myths-"Pro-
metheus Bound" which symbolizes the evolution
from animal TO human life; the Atheists Of Eurpi'
des, which touches domestic life and generous
sacrifices; and the Holy Grail myth. which teaches
spiritual knighthood The underlying thought OF
this myth was traced to Tennysons and Lowell's
poems on this subject. and the practical applica-
ton.
The bearing OF literature on conventional life was
apty Illustrated by selections from Browning. Mrs
Sarah Cowe;l lie Moyne read from THE Last
Duchess" the concluding ftysix lines Of this being
said to contain more real poetry than any other
equal number In the world.
J. ID. Barry, the novelist, spoke on realistic lit
erature saying 1t began with Jane Austen. and
ends with Howels. and that all the literature OF
fiction must have its roots in real life. but he en-
phasiZed the importance OF selection In this mes
sage TO humanity.
Mr. Kavanagh being introduced INDUCED In many
pleasantries about Mr. Barrys realism. but thought
little of this characteristic The speaker was quite
sure the public did not want Photographic litera-
ture but desired that the artist should have This
pencil tipped with Imagination.
Miss Ford added that realism and idealism were
two sides OF circle round which went the circuit
OF thought genuine interest In these confer
ences IL apparent by tho responsive audience pres
ent. Miss Ford said she had been asked 10 post
pone the meetings till Lent when people had more
time but she had not thought best to consider her
lectures penance.

AT the Central Indiana Hospital for the
Insane at indianapolis the equipment Of
the laundry with electrically heated sad
Irons has reduced the number OF employees
at the ironing tables nearly one-half. fht
reasons why such results are possible are
that the electric irons are constantly SUP
piled with a uniform amount of heat
nearly all of which is absorbed by the
work, and by reason of the constant sup
ply every rub is equally efficient There
being no appreciable heat radated from
