Mr.. Hearn's Impressions of
Two Hemispheres.

EXotics and Retrospectives. BY Laf-
cardio Hearn. Little, Brown e Co.,
Boston.
Mr.. Hearn's delicate, glowing, and
wonderfully stimulating literary work
is too well known to readers who care
for that sort of thing to call for analy-
sis or even Characterization at this
time. While Mr.. Hearn writes in col
ors and emotions The firm fibre of
thought, sharp, self-consistent, ingen-
ious, underlies these passionate, palpl-
tating writings of his
"Exotics and Retrospective" makes
charming reading. 1t opens with pic
turesque sketch of the ascent of Luji,
Japan's sacred Mountain The next es-
say is full of curious information of
the "lnsect-Musicans" of Japan. THE
Literature of the Dead describes the
cemetery of an ancient Buddhist tenn
pie and the graVestones, and from that
goes on to discuss the Buddhist liter
AZURE of the dead. Frogs" and Moon
Desire" furnish Mr.. Hearn with con-
genial topics. The Retrospectives'
are not distinctively Japanese, but deal
with experiences in TWO hemispheres.
In them he explores such remote fields
as why red excites and alarms, and the
relation of the color blue to nature, the
arts, and aesthetics The Weirdness of
the composite photographs the sadness
of beauty, the thrill of the human
touch, dreams, the haunting apparition
OF the impossibe-lhese are the deli
cate, mysterious subjects. with which
Mr. Hearn concerns himself.
Under them all few thoughts are
dominant, such as the scope of inheri-
lance and the futility and absurdity
of individuality. To Mr.. Hearn, all our
emotions are inheritances, the phenom-
enon of love at first sight" is but the
sudden awakening Of an inherited COM
posite memory; the ideal of beauty is
but the accumulation of countless inn
pressions received by the race; beauty
is only a composite Of numberless race
memories of individual attraction; the
emotion of music is but the quickening
of the emotional Renaissance of the
race, and personality itself but re-
combination.
But a better sense of the freshness
strangeness, and fascination of this
book may be derived from the following
short essay, which Mr.. Hearn calls

THE DEADLY CIGARETTE.
The Terrible Evil That is Running The
Young of the Land

There is a terrible evil undermining
the health OF the rising generation.
This evil, prolific of direful results,
is the habit OF cigarette smoking. 1t
is impossible to walk very far without
seeing boys OF tender years pulling
away their lives ia nauseatlng smoke.
The army surgeons have rejected
many otherwise desirable young men,
who have, by their persistentuse OF Gig
arettes, contracted ,he'tobacco hearts;
but it is almost useless to try to reform
many OF these juvenile smokers. II
prevented by parents or guardians from
openly indulging in the pernicous
practice, they will frequent out-of-the-
way places to crafty their infatuation
for the deadly thing. Only u few years
ago i nephew of mine learned the habit

suicidal indulgence. used the strong

lived only two years after he began to
smoke. He was by no means weak
or sicklv lad: but rather robust than
otherwise. The baneful smoke poisoned
his lungs so that he soon became a
victim OF consumption. The millions
upon millions OF the small liie.destroy-
ers manufactured is awful to think Of.
No remedy appears in sight, and the
deadly habitsgoes on increasing. Fa-
theirs and mothers have great respon-
sibility in guarding their dear ones
from this indulgence. Must it 60 on
from bad to worse permanently? Let US
hope the youth Of the land will accept
these awful warnings promulgated

thing:forever, Alexander Macaulay in

The passion had died out Of his hag-

hopelessness remained. A strange
apathy was creeping over him. After
all, was 1t worth while chatting against
fate? He had done his best, as he said,
and this was the miserable result. Old
memories crowded upon his mind, and
the present faded and grew indistinct,
