NOTES.

This week witnesses the centennial
birthday anniversary of Ralph Waldo
Emerson, and the literary world to-
gether with cities Of his birth and in
innate associations have joined in cele-
brating the natal anniversary Of the
great essayist,
The attention which is being paid to
Emerson by all sorts and conditions Of
people at Q this time, proves con-
clusiyely that his fame has transcribed
the transcendental blight under which
Il langulshed for a good many years.
Emerson, gifted with an amazingly
receptive and understanding mind, a
learner gifted beyond all other learners
since Goethe began as sort OF sub
limated expression Of all the most
spiritual systems OF thought. The pro-
diglous force OF the accumulated spir-
ituality in and behind him seemed at
first to carry him beyond the reach Of
human sympathy. But man capable
OF learning so much could not help
learning lesson far above the exalted
and rational Purltanism OF which he
had made himself the prophet as well
as the personal exemplar
As men look at him today, Emerson
appears big enough to include every
thing Everything can be proved out
OF him. He himself had no concern for
consistency, and believed that II was
the very last thing that noble mind
should trouble itself about. With
Michelangelo, his motto was to the
last, Il still learn" 1t takes a strong
man to be willing TO let go this year
what he knew last year Emerson
was quite willing to do this; John Jones
or Richard Roe may be willing to do II,
too, but Richard Roe and John Jones
are not likely TO possess the prodgious
enlightenment that Emerson possessed
TO build a new knowledge upon.
At this maximum Emerson was quite
high enough TO be beyond the reach OF
the ordinary citizen. The great Amer
lean world has mostly got him, and
stu gets him, at second hand, filtered
down through the higher minds; and
this not because he was incomprehens-
ble-for no man wrote more luminously
but because he IL morally too lofty
for most men TO care TO measure their
stature against his. The thought of the
whole country has been more or less
Emersonized since the sos. The i'm
press Of his mind has cut deep into
every mind that ever came into con-
tact with t. and the Impress has been
passed on. not much blunted. to those
who have rubbed up against the minds

THE HUMBLE. BEE.

Burly, doing humble-bee,
Where thou art Is cline for me.
Let them sail for Porto Rique,
Far-oR heats through seas to seek;
] will follow thee alone,
Thou animated torrld-zone
Zigzag steerer, desert cheerer,
Let me chase thy waving Ines
Keep me nearer, me thy nearer,
Singing over shrubs and vines,
Insect lover Of the sun,
Joy ~ thy dominion
Sailor Of the atmosphere;
Swimmer through the waves Of air;
Voyyger Of light and moon;
Eplcurean of June;
Wait, | prithee, tn l come
Within earshot Of thy hum
All without is martyrdonl.
When the south wind, in May days,
With a net Of shining haze
sllvers the horizon wall
And with softness touching all,
Tlnts the human cOuntenance
With a color Of romance,
And nfusing subtle heats,
Turns the sod to vlOlets,
Thou, In sunny solitudes,
Rover Of the. underwoods,
The green Silence dost displace
with thy mellow, breezy bass.
Hot mdsummers petted crone,
Sweet 10 me thy drowsy tone
Tells Of countless sunny hours,
Long days, and solid banks Of flowers;
OF CULTS Of sweetness without bound
In Indian wildernesses found,
OF Syrian peace, immortal leisure,
Firmest cheer, and bird-like pleasure.
Aught unsavory or unclean
Hath my insect never seen,
But yiolets and blberry bells,
Maple sap and daffodels,
Grass with green flag half-mast high,
succory to match the sky,
Columblne with horn Of honey
Scented fern and agrimony,
Glover, catchiiy, adders -tongue
And brier-r roses, dwelt among;
All beside was unknown waste,
All was picture as he passed.
Wiser far than human seer
Yellow-breeched philosopher!
Seeing only what Is fair
Slipping only what IL sweet,
Thou dost mock at fate and care,
Leave the chat, and take the wheat.
When the fierce northwestern blast
Cools sea and land so far and fast,
Thou already slumherest deep,
Woe and want thou canst outsleep;
Want and woe. which torture us,
Thy sleep makes ridiculous.

WHAT AN INGENIOUS
WOMAN DID WITH A CAT,

Making her cat act as her plumber
was the ingenious feat that a woman
of Manayunk accomplished the other
day. This woman had noticed that one
of the pipes connected with the wash
stand in her bathroom leaked, and she
wished to locate the leak precisely
without tearing out any more of the
wall than was needful.
Accordingly she shut her cat up in
her parlor-the parlor is directly below
the bathroom-and into the basin of
the defective washstand she poured
a vial of the oil of valerran. Cats
are excessively fond of the odor of
valerian; a cat would rather inhale
this odor than eat fish. The Mana
yunk woman's cat, after 1t had been
in the parlor a few minutes, began
to purr. Purring, 1t crossed the room;
it settled itself on the floor with it's
face to one spot on the wall and here
its mistress found 1t when she came
down stairs, it's nose glued to the spot,
shifting and purring ecstatically.
A The wall was opened at this point,
and here, sure enough, the leak was
found. Here the vaIerian had trickled
through. imparting its Intoxicating
odor to the cat

ut is hypnotism." said the woman
to whom he was speaking nodding
her head sagely. "Of course, no one
can really change herself according to
the fashions, so the only thing to do is
to make people think they have chang
ed. We 'will' you to think we have
the fashionable figure" she added,
laughingly for she was pleasurably
conscious of having reduced her hips a
goodly number of inches, and that she
looked at her tallest in her high
heeled slippers and long, diaphanous
gown that chung to her artistically.
