An InterestIna Find.

From the London Daily News.
 A curious example of the discoveries which. even at this time of day, await the antiquary in our old churches is reported to use. In the belfry of the little village church of Heckheld. about nine miles out of Basingstoke, there has been found an old chest which Is undoubtedly one of the thirteenth century crusaders aims chests which Pope Innocent III-the pope who laid England under the interdict and de- posed King John-ordered to be set up in every church in the Catholic world to re- ceive contributions for poor knights who went to the Holy Land to fight in the cru sades. The order was Issued A. D. 1199 These chests were to have three locks. The keys were to be kept respectively by the bishop, the parson and a chosen layman and the funds administered by the Knights Hospitallers and the Knights Templars. On the lid of the chest found at Heckfield there is slit for the reception of coins It has evident traces of three locks, two being hasps with padlocks and the other an ordinary lock. The matrix of the mid dle lock is in the shape of crusaders sword. The dimensions of the chest are Height, including the legs. twenty-one inches length, three feet, one and one-half inches width, seventeen and one-half inches; depth of well, eleven inches. There is narrow inner receptacle extending over the width of the chest with lid, and the hinges are of wood. The chest for many years has been used for storing worn-out service books and the old parish pail.

The Shame of Our Nation.

From the New York Age.
 This is the first instance in American history since the abolition of slavery when the government of the United States has been estopped in its humane desire to ameiorate the condition Of the oppressed peoples of other powers. be- cause 1t was universally infamous in op- pressing citizens of it's own, and without any effort,--if, indeed, it possesses the constitutional power-to punish the le- gal and irresponsible agencies guilty by connivance or actual criminality. of such heinous and inhuman crimes The attitude in which our government Is, therefore, placed in the eyes of the world, is one deeply humiliating to the national pride and vanity and should move Us at once to purge ourselves of the crimson stain by the adoption of a policy which shall shoot the mob spirit to death as often as it shall defy the law and refuses to listen to reason.
 The refusal of the Russian foreign of- flee to receive or consider" the petition closes the incident Automatically, And the Biblical text applies now, with re- doubled force, to the great republic: And why beholdest thou the mote that not the beam that is in thine own eye, when thou. myself. beholdest not the beam that Is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrit cast out first the beam that is in thine own eye. and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that Is in thy brothers eye."-UulSe vi; 1-42)

THE "HERO" IN FICTION.


it is still correct to apply the most tre- mendous title of Sigurd or Achilles.
 It would be interesting to trace, how ever roughly, this degeneration in the use of the word "hero." Primarily, of course, in the great early epics, a hero means hero, a being human indeed, but of so vast and towering a humanity that he Is stronger than the circum- stances which debase or limit human life. The victory of the divine part of man Qor the hero was commonly partly of the blood of the gods) over the mere ly brutal part of the Cosmos is, of course the central conception of all the fairy tales. In them. it is true, the victory is only victory over dragons or ogres, but about the philosophical moral there can be no question: and the great gap in modern literature. gap as wide as bowling desert. is the almost total ab- sence of what may be called a story of heroic psychology. The typical intellec- tual romance of our day rings the changes perpetually upon one mournful
The Birmingham age-herald., 1903-08-02

bell: 1t is always concerned with the illustration or defeat of a human spirit by the savage irony of facts. This will appear to the lover of heroic literature a thing inverted and grotesque It is as if he read string of legends in which the dragon always ate St. George, or a story in which Cinderella's prince mar ried one of the ugly sisters, or a Greek legend in which King Eurystheus had to provide new Hercules for each of the twelve labors. This kind of literature has for its great theme the manner in which man by faith and courage can beat down circumstance: of the victories of the body the ancient literature spoke sublmely; of the similar victories of the soul modern literature scarcely dares to speak at all. But when the work of genius shall come, which shall give us psychological Hercules; which shall show that there is potentially rejection for every temptations; a mastery for every mischance, much as there is a parry for every stroke of the sword, the event will certainly be something more important perhaps than the French rev olution. It will inaugurate a new liter ature and very possibly found new re- ligion.

6. K. Chesterton in the August Critic.
 There are some words which remain m current use like fossils of some prim- wal epoch imbedded in a later deposit. One of these of course, is the word hero" The modern novelist steering a aondescript young man through trivial temptations and dreary endorsements still insists on calling him the hero, the name which rings with the sound of the harp and sword. To young gentle man of bewilderingly feeble character, to a young man who cannot decide which of three ladies he is in love with or which of six friends has really been his moral ruin, who covers trifiing sins with transparent lies. and a coarse vanity with a crude philosophy, who loses his faith in God when he reads half page of German and loses his faith in his wife when he hears half sentence in a club ito this watery Reuben of modernity.
