A THIRD HAND NEEDED.
How It Would Help in Our Nod
ern Life.

G'rom the Chi,ago -evs.)
When nature gave us two hants she
gave us all hat was wanted at tie time.
but We have moved on and nature has re-
mained stationary. We have the trolley
car to take US downtown. We carry with
US a hat which blows off when there is a
slight breeze and is ruined by a shower OF
rain, an umbrella to protect the hat and
small black bag containing papers. writes
Barry Pain in "Pearson's." On our way back
We have in addition in another bag a piece
of fish which we have purchased in the
market and are taking home to our resi-
denee. Laden With these impediments we
attempt to board car in motion.
At first sight it would appear that one
hand is necessary to catch on to the rail,
another hand to secure the hat. another to
hold the black bag. and another to hold the
fish bag. But this is not so in practice.
One hand can satisfactorily account for
black bag. an umbrella and a fish basket.
The trouble begins when we try to hold on
to the hat with the same hand with which
We are gripping on to the rail And in the
same case of the two handed man this
happens every day. As at present con-
structed we lose our hat or our balance,
or both The third hand would make al,
secure.
Go downtown at midday and enter any
of the popular restaurants and you will
be faced at once with the great luncheon
difficulty. There is a long counter and
number of men seated at it on high stools.
The counter itself is crowded and there are
many waiting for their chance at It and
wasting valuable time. Now there is room
and 10 spare but not against the counter.
The third hand biOts out ali the difficulties
OF the rush luncheon at once. The right
hand would hold the knife and The left the
fork, as now. The counter could be moved
entirely thus giving more space Every
man would be his own counter When the
human race first started with the original
couple there was plenty of room and two
hands suffieed. but in the crowded condi-
tion Of the metropolitan luncheon the third
hand, to hold the place. has become a
necessity. Having acquired the rush
luncheon, We must inevitably acquire the
third hand.

nyson and Browning were writing, to
dominate English thought. Never for
! one moment does either of these great
imaginstions yield to it. Tennyson in
In Memoriam" is fighting hard
against the insidious foe; nobly he
wins the day. AS for Browning, in al
most his every poem the power of his
art is expended in fixing attention,
breathless, on one issue: "Life's bust
ness bei9g just the terrible choice"
shall gwen soul which we are watch
ing at the crisis of its fate rise or fall?
Life is probation, and this earth no
goal, but starting point Of man." Such
is the constant burden of his message.
And the wonderful thing about his
work as about that of Tennyson. is
the constant vista which it opens into
the eternal and unseen. Man. in his
little life of action, Of passion, of de-
sire, is surrounded by spiritual forces.
half guessed. half ignored, making for
redemption or for loss. This is the gist
and upshot of all that lovely series Of
poems in which modern fact is yelled

and the chief consolation granted TO
the sOud. All this is changed in the
Victorian poets. Nature is still loved,
indeed, but she has slipped back into
purely subordinate position, and the
drama of human experience fills the
whole foreground. THE need of a
world Of men," as Browning puts it.,
possesses them.
Become now self-acquainters,
and paint man, man, whatever the is
sue"
is their cry.
The human life on which their gaze
is thus concentrated is life individual,
not general The poets of the revolu-
tiOnary period had chanted their love
Of a collective humanity, and their as
pirations for its freedom. The Vic
torian poets chant not man, but men.
The individual holds them, and so far
as in them lies they pluck out the heart
of his mystery. Look at Tennyson' s
MAUD" or "EnOch Arden" or that most
wonderful searching into the secrets of
a single soul, his "Memoriam." Look
at Brownings array of dramatic mon
olOgues, his Andrea del SartO," his
gram" his Monk of the Spanish Clois-
ter" his "Caliban, his "St. John, .
and say whether any age ever added
more types of temperament and pas
sion to the world of the imagination.

terest centerS in men as spiritual and
moral beings. Their characters are no
prey TO their passions, as in the ia
cobean drama; they move in freedom.

ways was beauty and perfection IN
style His workmanship, whether in
blank verse or in lyric, was unrivaled.
No modern poet has given US SO many
of those
Jewels five words long,
Which on the stretched forefinger Of time
Sparkle forever.
In Browning, on the other hand. the
aim of art had changed. He cared lit
tie for conscious beauty, though al
most incidentally, as it were, he has
given us some work unsurpassed IN
loneliness. What he cared for was sig
nificance. To make his verse full Of
meaning to put as much red hot ex-
perience as possible into the given
line, was his constant effort, and in
this no one has ever succeeded better
than he It is no wonder that people
long thought him obscure, and that
Tennyson laid the SPELL of his most
meiodious numbers upon the public
ear Iong before the potent, penetrating
force Of Browning work made itself
felt
At first sight, indeed, the contrast
between the poetry of Tennyson and
Browning seems striking, absolute and
extreme. And yet the longer one thinks
and the more one eontemplates them
from a distance. with a larger sweep
of wisdom, the more evident it becomes
that the same age gave them BIRTH In
differing ways their work is the ex-

friendship of the queen. No such
shower of prosperity fell to the lot of
Browning. Recognized indeed from the
first by chosen spirit here and there
he remained for many year in obScur-
ity so far as the general public was
concerned; long ignored, and when the
bulk and force of his work fairly
brought him at last before the general
eye still longer the but of unintelligent
rldicule. Only when he was quite an
old man, too old to feel much excite
ment, over human fame. though not too
old TO derive pleasure from it, did the
tide turn. When once it turned, how
ever. it rose with surprising and al
most ludicrous rapidity. Browning the
neglected lived to see societies, scat
tered over the sEnglish-speaking world
gravely devoted to the study of his
works, to win a sort of treatment per-
haps never before afforded to a living
author, to be hailed not only as great
pOeta. but as prophet and spiritual
guiaes He took his hOnors calmly, as
one would expect from the poet Of
The Ring and the Book" And now
that it is all over, that we can look
back and apDraise his work, we can
see that the poetry Of Browning, like
that of TennysOn has become part of
the best heritage of the English race.
has entered into the very blood and
sinew of the public thought and faith
a penetrating, one may almost say a
recreattng, power.
There are many reasons for this diff
ference in the SWiftness with which
the work of the two poets found recog-
milton. Che Of these reasons is patent;
it lies in the contrast of their artistic
method. Tennyson's aim first and al
