Naive and girEis,h simplicity is
Calves particular forte. She is in her
element when she visits a girls school,
as she often does in Paris, and she
plays the role of ingenue with deli
cate art that makes the scene Joy to
the beholder. The girls may be young,
but she is younger. They may be inno-
cent, but she is absolutely guileless.
She is in the world, but not of it. There
is only one thing more entertaining

is to hear her tell about the experience
afterward among congenial friends.
Even among her most intimate friends,
however, Calve never relaxes in her at

While with thoughts ot them your hearts are al

OF the man who does the stoking down below.
For his home is in the hell.
Down below.
And he doesn't hear the yell,
Down below.
That goes up when t.ing's done,
When the ship he's with has won
He must keep a-shoyeling on,
Down below.
Though his name is never mentioned
Though or know him not,
Though his deeds may never bring him worldly
He's man above the Others
And the brayest OF the lot
And the hero OF the battle Just the same.
He's the man who does the work,
Down below.
From the labor does not shiTk.
Down below.
He is shoyeling day and night,
Feeding flames blazing bright,
Keeping up killing fight,
Down below.
In the awful heat and torture
OF the fires that leap and dance
In and out the furnace doors that never clo-e,
On in silence ne must work,
For WIN MN tiitEt : nt SE a GlaflES

For they locked him in a room,
Down below
In q burning. blazing tomb,

Where he cannot the SKY,
Cannot learn. in time TO hy,
When destruction stalketh nigh,
Down below.
While the fighting fierce is waging,
And the cannon overhead
With their sizzling shells the enemy surround,
To the stoker down below,
Not word is ever said,
To his is borne echo Of the sound.
When they open wide his door,
Down below.
And they cry, Your work is Ger,
Down belowi'
There they find him weakly lying
On pile of coal and crying
Out in madness for he's dying

There is not time enough to love you here-
Only few quick years 10 hold you fast.
Days burn away: Love brings the so nearl
And nights but breathe their blessings, and

And season melts in season Oh. my dear,
And must we part at last?
Yet, search mine eyes, and tell me il my youth
Laughs out to you as when you called il first
Nay, / know it must, for /, in soOth,
Was older then than now. Twas you who
nursed
Ny soul from sickly doubt TO faith and truth
When life az its worst.
And, looking back within your eyes, / find
smile that oyercomes the fear OF age;
brave smile, telling how the joys behind
We're not more sure than those that gid page
OF life as yet unread-deliGhts designed
Fer our joint heritage
And is there something further distant still
Somewhere without the world-for you and me-
When have stepped the quiet rilI
That would magnify with mystery
What can We say, O heart, OF what may be?
Love hopeth all things let Us hope until
God smiles and bids see.

'The Final War is a somewhat curious
novel by Louis Tracy, published In Eng
lish and American editions by, G. p. Put
MANS Sons, New York. Mr.. Tracy's pref
ace is one of the most amusing things
in the book. He says that he feels that
he ought to offer an apology for the ap-
pearance of his story, because he has TAX
en- the whole world asl his theme, and
his characters are its chief citizens. He
adds that he hopes that he has given no

he could extract from nature scared
by Journalism, while the people who get
killed are wholly fictitious" This is
naive and interesting, and as one goes
on TO read the book, it becomes
evident that Mr.. Tracy has, as he says,
written the book for his own amuse-
ment, and enjoyed writing it. 1t re-
minds one of the yarns spun by old SAIL
ors, who thoroughly enjoy seeing their
hearers mouths and eyes expand with
the thrilling interest of the tale.

MIR. hangs, Ghosts.

It is time that somebody suggested TO
that amateur spiritualist, John kendrick
Bangs. that, while a slight acquaintance
with the unseen world is piquant and
interesting, the man who sees too many
ghosts in the course of one life is liable
to trouble. Mr.. Bangs "Houseboat on
the Styx" was very clever and original
in conception and tolerably so in mate
rialization. When, however he followed
this up with THE Pursuit of the House
boat" the public irreverently wondered
If ne had the jim-jams or was an opium
fend, and now that he has labeled still
another book Ghosts Have Met he has
reached the point at which someone real
ly ought TO wait on him with temper
ance tract and a blue ribbon. Too many
ghosts are as bad for the human constitu-
tion as too many cocktails, and, like the
cocktails, they are likely to make the
victim wearisOme TO other people
The latest book of this series is a coll
lection of rather vapid and unmeaning
tales about spirits. The author some
times takes an idea which possibly is
worth a paragraph of good, straightfor-
ward rhetoric and spins il out into
chapter. Sometimes he has not even the
idea. But that does not trouble him; he
writes his chapter without It. For in
stance. the alleged fact that a horsehair
sofa turned white in a single night is
rather an amusing variation on the ordl-
nary ghost marvel, but when that idea
is made TO serve, all by itself, for the
foundation of a whole story. 1t is some
what like the legendary oyster which is
cast away in the church stew-it looks
lonely, and seems not to know why 1t
was put there. Then there is the story
of a friendly ghost who kept Mr. Bangs
shivering with terror all night. every
night through an unusually warm Sum-
mer-a tantalizing thing to read about.

The March of the Dead Brigade.

No sound disturbs the drowsy dawn.
As forms the dead brigade;
Its silent ranks, in serried lines,
Glide onward toward the springing lines,
All phantoms in parade.
Their steps bend not the dropping corn,
These warriors all are ghosts
In rank and file, with solemn tread,
Their captains marching at the head,
Move on these silent hosts.
From out the tented camp of death,
Their flag of peace displayed,
With football soft as dew at morn,
These cohorts sweep the bending corn.
Where battle once was laid
The mark of Gods eternal peace
Their couaserances bear;
And freed from all unholy hate,
They shine with that exalted state
Which heavens angels share

Professor schen.,s Theory.

More or less advertising was given to
Professor Schenk's work, Ion the De-
termination of Sex owing TO experiments
made by him in that line during the
past Winter. His book. which has been
translated and published in English and
American editions, is detailed account of
his theory and experiments and an ex-
PLANTATION of other theories on the same
subject He says with justice that sub
jects of this sort have been treated by
the inexperienced and lazy with assur-
ance equaled only by their ignorance,
but that, as observation becomes more
accurate and scientific interests more pro-
found, the processes of nature may be in
fiuenced, If not controlled.
The language Of the book IS extremely
technical here and there, and the average
reader would not be able to peruse 1t for
single chapter without a dictionary ar
his elbow. In fact, il is not a book in
which the average reader will be much
interested. Newspaper paragraphers here
and there have hinted that it was the sort
of book which Anthony Comstock would

vances in support of his theory might be
considered another scientists argument
reversed. 1t has been proved by statis-
tics that more boys than girls are born
in years when the harvest is poor, and
some have argued from this that a scanty
diet is favorable to sthe birth of boys
Professor Schenk, however takes the
view that In such years the people sub
sist on flesh rather than vegetables. the
cattle being killed for food, and women
are thus fed on a nitrogenous diet. His

drates as far as possible from the diet
