THE SOUTHERN GIRL.

In concluding an editorial inspired by
Southern girls regret that she can
not go To college, Edward Box. in April
Ladies's Home Journal. has this TO say
OF the girls OF the Southland: THE
Southern girl is surrounded by a life
far truer and more conducive to self
development than girls living in other
sections. because social conditions are
more pormal. Her life is healthier be-
cause IL is saner, and her mind, by
reason OF IL. is clearer and some con-
stantly at rest. The rush OF life OF
the North and West is not SO stimulat-
ing as many Southern girls suppose.
On the contrary, IL wears women out
us often as it develops them. In no
younger at maturity than in the South.

the Northern girl must get out of books

history as Is the literature OF Spain.

age Her parents are. and her ances-

manhood. She hears but one language

PRIDE AND GENIUS.

a modern scientist assures us that
men Of real genius are always proud,
and he gives the following examples
as proofs of the truth Of this state
ment When Mirabeau was dying he
said To his servant Prop up my head
carefully. for il is the most remarkable
head in all France"
Michael Angelo wrote, in 1852: "All
the differences btween me and Pope Ju-
Illus arose from the fact that Raphael
and Bramante were jealous of me and
tried 10 overthrow me. Yet everything
that Raphael knows about art he
learned from me-
Rossini addressed some Of his letters
To his mother as follows: ITO Mrs. Ros-
sini, the mother OF the distinguished
master
Finally Schopcnhauer, when he was
asked where he would like to be buried,
replied The place does not matter,
as posterity will know well enough
where To find me"
These are certainly striking exam
pies i'm some respects. but it would not
be difficult 20 find others quite as strik-
ing of real men OF genius who were
noted for their modesty. After all, the
entire matter evidently hinges on the
crucial question. What is real genius,
and how can it be unerringly distin-
guished from pretent ious talent?-New
