The last two meetings of Sorosis
have been Of unusual interest.
Although its year is devoted il
the main to German history, it i.
interspersed with some cooking
and systematic study Of the life
Of Christ.
Wednesday, Mrs. T. H. Dwyei
was hostess and Mrs. H. B. John
preceptress.
Mrs. Johnson gave ten questions
pertaining TO the life of Christ and
all were most instructive. Her
paper on "The Ministry Of John
the Baptist was indeed interest
ing
AT this meeting the letter from
Mrs. Conlan, first vice president of
Oklahoma and Indian Territory
Federation Of Clubs, asking that
Sorosis withdraw from the Okla
homa Federation was read. This
club has a reputation Of being
prompt and unhesitating in deciding
questions. In this instance, they
voted unanimously to remain with
the Oklahoma Federation and were
opposed to all efforts to secede.
Wednesday, December 2nd, Mrs.
D. E. Emerson acted as hostess to
Sorosis members.
Mrs. Ben Hampton was precept-
ress and after asking questions on
the Carlovingies and Conrad Of
Franconia, read paper on Com
parison Of Germany and France.
Mrs. j. w. Light read a paper on
the Forests of Germany" which
was also very fine.
After the programme Mrs. EN-
erson asked the ladies to repair to
the dining room where Mrs. T. B.
Beggers gave some practical
demonstr tions in cooking
in an "Alladin Oven. She ex-
toled the virtues of this wonderful
oven, telling how the breakfast
could be put on at night and be all
ready in the morning, of the baked
potatoes, the cereals and other
things that would be nicely cooked.

six FoIIies of Science.

The six follies of science are: 81 The
squaring of the circle, C) perpetual
motion, o. the philosophers stone, a.
the elixir of life. 90 magic and 60 as
trology.
In all ages men of undoubted ability
have toiled early and late to unravel
the mysteries supposed to be connected
with these fascinating problems. 1t is
not always remembered that such in
tellectual giants as Bacon, Sir Robert
Boyle and Sir Isaac Newton sought
the philosophers stone, which, strange
to say, receives some countenance
from the modern theory of allotropy.
In the study of astrology Lilly was for
a time even pensioned by parliament
Most of these "follies" conferred in
direct benefits upon science, for in
seeking one thing their devotees dis
covered many another. The craze for
the secret, or unknown, has still its
hold upon men and is seen in palmistry
and kindred cults.-London Standard.

EMERSON'S PROSE STYLE.
Held to Be Lacking In the Quality
of Writers Called Masters.

What shall be said of Emerson's
prose? Was Matthew Arnold right
when, as an experienced critic calmly
Judging the favOrite author OF his
youth. he denied that the Essays"
the lectures and English Traits form
ed a body of prose of sufficient merit
to entitle Emerson to be ranked as
great man of letters? 1t seems as If
the time had come for EmersOn's coun-
trymen frankly 10 accept this verdict.
Because of deficiencies, both Of style
and of romance. Emerson does not
belong to the small class of the great
masters of prose His style, despite
the fact that Nature" and many OF
the essays contain pages Of eloquent
prose almost equal in power and beau
" to noble poetry, was nearly always
that of the lecturer or preacher rather
than that of the writer. He too fire.
Quently lost the note of distinction and
was content if he satisfied his far from
eXigent audiences. In diction, to be
sure, he was q conscious and consum-
mate master, and it need scarcely be
said that few writer's have surpassed
him in the ability to compose a preg-
nant sentence. But, as is generally adj
mitted and as is shown by his prac-
tice Of piecing his notes together, he
was rarely able to evolve paragraph,
much more whole essay, in a mas
terly or even in a workmanlike fashion
1t may be granted that critics have
overemphasized his lack Of conference,
that there is more logical unity in his
essays than appears on first reading,
that English Traits" and the later
volumes are far from being mere
strings Of "orphic sayings" but the
fact seems to remain that the prose
style of Emerson from first to last
lacks the firmness, the compass, the
precision, the feXibility, the individ-
uality we demand Of the prose writers
whom we denominate masters.-Pro-
fessor Trent in Bookman.

The Simple Coast Folk.

The Newfoundland coast folk are

frequently pays better than his regular
