By . Professor.

A mans ideal OF womanhood Is gem
orally worth knowing. and for this
reason the following sentence from an
article In the Humanitarian, written
by Prof Mantegazza, will be read with
Interest: I'm order to approach to the
perfection required in the future, wom-
an should try to improve herDelf phys
ically. morally and intellectually
three adverbs which represent the
great human trinity. three gods In one
god. the god of happiness. who is the
perfect equilibrium OF all our ener-
giles. who is a being who answers to
all our necessities. who is a being who
does not forget the body by giving
everything to the soul. and who does
not reduce man to the level of an an
imal, which eats and drinks and sleeps.
Woman has always been and always
will be, powerful-all powerful-on ac-
count of her beauty, and we poor serv-
ants OF nature can neither dethrone
her nor make her move by unaccus-
toned ways. Only we ought to ex-
tend the physical beauty of a woman
to her heart and thought.

His Hest Idaaa

That the American "man with the
hoe" does not find the life OF the farm
stultifying must surely be inferred
from the words of an old tiller of the
soil. who came across a classical vol
ume and found in Plato a kindred
spirit. Tho good American farmer
called upon doctor. and was ushered
into the library. At once the well-filled
book-shelves drew his attention. Are
you fond of reading?" asked the doc
tor. noting the wandering gaze. We'll.
yes" returned the farmer, modestly.
Il should be pleased to lend you book
to take home with you." said the other.
Just take any one that you think
you'd like to read" "Oh, I'm no good
at selectin'," replied the old man.
you pick one out, DOCTOR" So the
doctor, in a spirit of fun, gave the
farmer a book written by Plato. The
old man went away. and at the end OF
week reappeared with the book un-
der his arm. WELL" queried the doc
tor, did you read the book?" Yes,
did, was the emphatic answer. And
what did you think of it," 1T was
fust-rate," responded the farmer. I've
read 1t through from kiver to kiver. 1
never heard tell of this fellow Plato
before, but all the same I'm glad to
find that the old chap has been writing
up some of my very best Ideas"

FRENCH VITALITY.
Ono of the Wonderful Things About This
Wonderful Nation

one OF the wonderful Things About This
Wonderful Nation
The position of France In the world
is unique. England. Germany, and
America. as great competing industrial
producers, possess nothing which is
unique to the one or the other, says
the Fortnightly Review. But to the
French we owe practically everything
that adorns and graces existence. Their
creative faculty. their inexhaustlble re-
sources in pleasing the eye, the ear, the
taste. and the intelligence. give to life
nearly all the charms II possesses.
Their wonderful metropolis, Instinct
with everything that an artistic i'm
agination has been able to devise in
architecture and in street scenery to
make 1t beautiful; their shops, which
are pleasure and lesson In the fine
arts; their theaters. in which the his
trionic art has reached the highest
point OF development ever attained;
their brilliant schools of painting,
sculpture, music. literature. philosophy,
science, open to all the world. are few
OF the things that make France unique
upon earth as an intellectual recreation
ground for humanity. There are peo-
pie, nevertheless, who call France one
of the decaying nations. Yet what
other country can show a greater ar
ray of more varied talent or more en-
during work In the things of beauty
which are joy forever? France de-
caying nation? France, who after she
was drained. by the revocation of the
edict of Nantes, Of what appeared to be
the flower of her people, produced the
glorious eighteenth century; who. after
the massacres of the terror, burst into
the power and magnificence of the en-
pire; who. after the wars OF Napoleon,
gave us a great literary and scientific
revival; after the revolution of 1913,
the artistic and intellectual brilliance
of the second empire; and who, in spite
of the crushing defeat OF 1870. retained
that pre-eminencei If any nation pos
sesses vitality 1t is surely France, and
the world may thank Providence that,
owing to her. 1t seems likely to escape
from the decadence which usually fol-
lows self-absorbed material prosperity.

winter Ocean ua,b..

The fad of taking a plunge In the
waters of the ocean and bay during
the winter has. II seems. taken a firm
hold on some OF the residents in the
suburban sections OF Brooklyn. espe-
cially those along the shores of
Gravesend Bay, at Bath Beach and
Bensonhurst. These two hamlets now
boast of three residents who never fail
TO take cool dip In the bay every day
in the year. All those who would doubt
II can go down 10 Bensonhurst and
make inquiries for John Richmond, a
good natured Englishman, who owns a
little place on Bath avenue, near Thir-
ty-ffth street. where he conducts
florists business. His wife prides her
self on being the only woman in the
city who takes the Icy plunge. 1t has
been said that mysterious woman did
make her appearance short time ago
at Bath Beach. and. after prouenading
the beach for a time. she plunged into
the water. The woman. however, was
apparently satisfied with that one dip
and has not been seen along the shore
since, while Mrs. Richmond Is there
every day.

A INNOCENT MEAL.
Prince aud Princess of Wales Dine Mt
tho Peoples Restaurant.

Prince aud Princess OF Wales Dine at
tho Peoples Restaurant.
A touching Incident. simple In Its
character. but invested with almost
historical interest, marked the opening
a couple OF weeks ago OF the first OF the
poor mems restaurants which the Prin-
cess OF Wales has succeeded in estab-
fishing In London. No formal cere-
mony inaugurated the opening days
business at the establishment founded
by the Alexandra Trust in the City
road. London. Something much more
telling than prosaic speeches, more
impressive than votes of thanks, oc-
Cured to draw attention to the cooked
meals which are served at a cost be-
low anything previously attempted In
London. One day the Prince and Prin-
cess OF Wales. accompanied by the
Hon. Sydney Greville. drove down to
the City-road on aurprise visit to the
Alexandra restaurant Luncheon tick
cts were bought In the ordinary way at
4hd. % cents) each. Whilst thou
sands OF toIlers, workmen, factory
girls. shop boys and needy clerks were
consuming the luncheon provided In
the big dining halls, the royal visitors
sat down to a similar meal In an ad-
Joining room. There were six In the
royal luncheon party. Three courses
were served. The bill for the whole
party came to Is 3D. (54 cents). Need
less to say. the presence OF the heir
apparent and the princess in the res
taurant was the occasion OF singular
ly interesting demonstration on the
part of the people.

ra,.or r,,,a !, on tho Irl.hman.

The editor is fond of joke and has
the good sense to appreciate one at
his own expense. A few weeks ago he
was walking with friend, and at the
corner of busy thoroughfare he saw
dilapidated-looking Hibernian,
standing at the opposite corner. gaz-
ing listlessly into vacancy. Watch
me surprise this old fellow" said he
to his friend. Look right into his
face and see II 1t won't be a study"
A second later they were abreast OF
the son of Erin, and the editor pulled
out a silver coin, and said, as he thrust
IL into the mans hand, Here's that
half crown | owe you; now, don't go
round any more telling people that l
don't pay my debts" For second the
mans face was a study. He was
amazed at the unlooked-for kindness.
and then, as its piirport dawned on
him. he raised his hat and said, "Heav-
en- bless yer 'onneri I'll never say an
other word agin ye. But" and his
eyes twinkled merrily. ARE ye sure It
wasn't a crown yez owed me? The
friend roared: "Oh, pay the man In
full; don't try to beat him out OF
paltry half crown" The Irishman got
his crown, but the editor no longer
pays his debts at sight now.

TALKS OF the AmaigamAtion of Tar,

Tacoma Cwash.) Special New York
Times; Some of the leaders OF reli-
gious thought In Japan are endeavor-
lng to choose between Buddhism,
shintoism and Christianity as the fu-
ture religion OF the empire. Others
would amalgamate the best features OF
the several religions. One OF these Is
Count Okuma, one Of the heads OF the
Japanese government. In an inter
view reported In Japanese newspaper
he says; ''The fundamental idea Of
Confucinnism Is bonevolsnee, that OF
Buddhism Is compassion or mercy and
that OF Christianity love. These feel
ings form the basis OF all religion.
The founders of the different religions
knew their own people and their own
part OF the world only, and hence could
not devise any system Of teaching that
should suit all countries alike. but
they did an immense deal in the way
of drawing attention to the impor-
tance OF certain principles. For the
multiplication of sects their disciples
are responsible. Their Interpretation
OF the meaning of the words said to
be used by the founders differed wide
ly, and each variation was perpetuated
by special forms and ceremonies What
is most desirable now IL to get rid Of
the superstTuoture and lay bare the
foundation. Benevolence. compassion
and lovel Cannot Buddhists. Chris
tians and Confucianists come together
on these principles and work In ha.-

messed in my time, but 1t will come
some day" Some OF the Christian
churches In Japan are taking steps to
open new divinity school to take the
place of the Doshisha Divinity hall,
which has been closed owing to dis
agreement with the American Mis-
sionary board In New York, which sup
ported 1t. Hitherto the American
Board of Foreign Missions and the
Japanese churches have been acting
separately. but since the object is the
same, efforts will be made to unite the
two classes OF workers.
