COURAGE FOR CRITICISM
10 Receive Adverse Comment IN
Proper Spirit Opens the Door
20 Better Effort

1t is a rare woman who can dis
tinguish between unfayOrable
criticism Of her work and disap-
prevail of herself. The personal
element, so strong in women aud
so necessary to their fullest use
fulness, intrudes itself between
the judgment and the feeling, and
criticism becomes a torture in
stead of a lesson.
The world has long known how
Mr.. Lewes protected George Eliot
from unfavorable comment on her
work. Not a line did she see which
was not laden with praise. Wig
Orous as was her mind, says
Youths Companion, she lent it to
her own self-deception, and was
content to live in a sort of fools
paradise.
There is one glorious exception
to this lack of courage to endure
criticism. Charlotte BrOnte came
of a brave race. She knew no
pampering. From the wretch
ed hardships at Cowan Bridge
school to the exactions of her
blind and melancholy father, her
life was a stern one.
With what unfaltering spirit
she writes to her publishers as she
sends them a part of the manu-
script of SHIRLEY" 81 shall be
glad of another censor, and if Il
severe one, so much the better,
provided he is also just. l court
the keenest criticism. Far rather
would | never publish more than
publish anything inferior to my
first effort. Be honest, there
fore, all three of you. If you think
this book promises less favOrably
than Jane Eyre say so; it is but
trying again, that is, il life and
health be spared"
Again, after reading a scathing
review, she writes: g" am rather
encouraged than dispirited by the
review. The hard-wrung praise
extOrted reluctantly from afOe is
the most precious praise of all
you are sure that this, at least,
has no admixture of fattery."
Charlotte Bronte weighedevery
comment; she remembered every
well-cOnsidered suggestions; she
talked over with her publishers
and her sisters even the most per
sonal and venomOus attacks, tC
get from them whatever tonic
might be extracted from their bit
terness. She showed during the
all-too-brief years of her work q
spirit so unfaltering that it lives
as a shining example to every
woman who condemns herself t.
die a thousand deaths because sht
lives in fear

Weird Sounds.

Weird sounds of atmospheric
disturbances-unlike the ordi,
nary telegraphic and inductive
disturbanees-have been noticed
by Mr.. j. Il. Taylor. a British cleo,

wireless t%elegraphy. They are
more frequent in summer than in
winter, most in evidence for a few
hours about sunset, and often pre-
cede a storm or gale. They resem.

Central Europe.

A central European economic
union has.been formed at Berlin,
its purpose being to enable the
central European states to
strengthen the industrial political
position of each of them in their
negotiations of commercial treat
les with distant countries and to
obtain better conditions than they
could if standing alone. The aim
of the union will be to make
propaganda with Germany, Aus
tria, Switzerland, Holland, Bel
GUM and France for this desire Of
economical alliance and to effect
harmonious measures of defense
against England, Russia and the
United States.

Fears are expressed in st. Petersbur.
that Kuropatkin has undertaken move
ment too great for his army.
1t is reported that the health and gen
eral condition of the Russian troops al
the front are remarkably good.
Emperor William sent good luck
message to the Russian feet. and it may
cause a protest by Japan.
Gen. Tasagawa will take charge of the
japanese troops in Korea and the Ko-
rean army will be suppressed.
Preparations are being made to es-
tablish semi-underground winter quarters
for the Russians about Mukden.
Activity in China means either danger
to foreigners or preparation to resist Jap
anese aggression after the war.
Russian papers say that Japan must
be crushed so that she will never be
able to renew her operations on the con-
tinent.
Japanese at Yentai retreated before the
Russian advance on Sunday, but were
REINFORCED and drove the enemy back
on Monday.
Kuroki is said to have crossed the
Hun river above Fushun ford and is
marching direct on Tie Pass. The Cir
cum-Baikal railway is open.
More than 100000 men are believed to
have been engaged in the fighting at Yen
tai Another fierce engagement has de-
veloped twenty-seven miles southeast of
Mukden.
st. Petersburg military officials do not
regard the Yentai battle as a general en-
gagement, as Kuropatkin's entire army
has not reached the battle line. The de-
cisive engagement is expected soon.

his Caused by sunlight.


While the rays of the sun possess
stimulating and beneficial effect in
disease and can be used with advan-
tage as a therapeutic agent, yet, ac-
cording to recent Investigations. they
also may act injuriously and cause dis
ease. That there Is difference in
the therapeutic value between the ac-
tinic rays, or those located ut the violet
end Of the spectrum, and the red rays
was appreciated by Finsen, and the
former were used In the treatment OF
such skin diseases as lupus vulgaris,
or tuberculosis of the skin, while the
latter were found effective In cases of
smallpox.
One of the most recent researches
in this department is by Prof. Fermi
and is given in a late number Of the
Archiv fur Hygiene. In these expert
