startllnE


According TO official statistics Just
made public for the last six years. an
average OF 10000 persons have year
ly died In France from consumption.
while In Paris alone the total for that
period has been S3.274 deaths. More
over, a report OF the project OF police
OF Paris shows that In that city. with
It's population Of 2,5i1 .629 inhabitants
there were iG9SS deaths in 1900. out
OF which number i2.3ii were caused
by consumption,
Again. according TO the report OF
the project OF police. all classes have
suffered from the disease, but II has

families, Out OF every 10000 lnhabi-
tans the average number OF deaths
In the richest residential quarters Is
20; In the well-to-do quarters. 30; In
the quarters occupied by the working
classes, 80. while In what may be
called the poor quarters the deaths
from consumption have been as high
as 65 per 10000 inhabitants. To take
the two extremes. the figures show that
In the last year. while consumption

Americans are not the only people
who are ingenious In originating and

comes u most remarkable story OF the

do bananas grow here?" is frequent

kind as they are wiSe-a man who finds
in the worst Geed the bewildered i'm
pulse OF humanity, whose smile never
wounds and whose brows are lifted only
in depreciation, while others frown; who
knows too much to despair, and is yet
himself always learning the lesson he
teaches
My friend, DR.. Divinicus is just such a
man, and his voice is one for which his
people wait as for no other. 1t is al
ways delight to listen to his Sunday
morning discourse. No matter what the
text, he never fails to point out the path
of virtuous and noble life. When you
are well into his discourse it is most
charming in it's helpfulness--smo and
full of goodly prospect and melodious
sounds, while through the open window
there comes, somehow, mingled with the
words of the preacher, an idea Of archaic
blooms-all the delights of an old city
garden. And when the sermon is over
you put on your hat and go out into
a world that seems brighter and better,
purer and more hopeful
His is the wisdom that years alone can
bring, and he ever looks at life serene
ly and kindly, claiming for it's visions
nothing transcendant or supernal. He is
my ideal of preacher.
The field of the true preacher lies not
under the afternoon sun among the
lostos- eaters, but toward the sunrise, the
field of dawn in which all toilers awake,
fresh for the new work of the world.
His appeal is to the Utmost forces Of
manhood at their source, where are the
beginnings of character. He finds for
us courage in the heart and not in out
ward armor. His face is toward the
climbing sun, which, after all, is the true
Atlas, bearing the world. He points to
the lilies which seem to have no toll,
but behind them is the mighty travail
of growth; he leads US to the fountain
of the stream, where it seems the small
est, but it is there it does it's greatest
work and without which it could not have
it's mystic current and beneficent uses
in the plain. He teaches us that at it's
source life touches the infinite, and where
we see only the play the mghtiest work
is wrought.
Our preacher then sees a use deeper
than utilitariansm, and discovers a con-
duct Of life, elastic and flexible, having
a constant reversion to freedom, looking
to it's source even while it looks toward
it's many goals. 1t is this spirit of re-
juvenescence which alone can arrest the
sterilizing influence at work in every
field of our life.

To Build on Moore Knob
(Danbury Reporter.)

Two Danbury young men OF phllosop-
hic if not anarchistic proclivities pro-
pose building habitation on the top OF
Moore's Knob. Here where only the
stified hum of the world will reach them
basking in the lucent sunshine and lull-
ed by the siren voice of the RATHER,
they expect to exc out the remainder OF
their existence. The house will be con-
structed of green pine after the Gothic
style. The appointments will be culled
from the simplicity of the forest. No
luxuries of any kind will be in evidence
except the precepts of Epictetus and ci-
garettes. Nothing will appear to remind
the hermits of civilization or social life,
where they say all is vanity and vexa-
ton of spirit. Nor will any kind of
folks be allowed to come to see them,
creditors being expected to send state
ment via Stamping Ground by rabbit,
as the thoroughfare will be destroyed
stopping all human ingress, egress and
regress.
