When they come to distribute medals for bravery, the assistant janitor of one of the New York public schools should not be overlooked. A little boy playing near an open manhole fell Into the sewer and was carried some forty feet by the current, which finally wedged him into corner. Robert Cook, assistant janitor of public school No. 1S6, went down in the manhole, crawled through the sewer and res- cued the boy. That act took far more real courage than did hundreds of the more theatrical but less trying life saving ventures for which medals have been awarded.

English Is the international language The negotiations between the Russians and Japanese for the surrender or Port Arthur were conducted, not in French, but in English. The Japanese generals who took part and their associates talk English, and one of them Russian. On the Russian side they brought young midshipman who had to act as inter- preter, because the English of the off, cers was imperfect. In. Russia and Turkey the officials still prefer to use French, but the rest of the world, in the east as well as the west, turns to English.

and also hurroo! the world has a new cure-all, and we are to live a thou sand years and then some. That Is what fad amounts to. A woman in New York consumed large quantities of water and lost flesh. She had 1t to lose. Now New York women are drinking their little two quarts of Gro ton per diem-some to get thin, others for the complexion, and still others because 1t is fashionable. When they meet they discuss water, and 1t Is to be believed that their dreams are soothed by the sounds of ripping brooks. In Pittsburg the ladies of fashion have taken to cold water in quantities for the purpose of taking on flesh l. Is a sure thing. You drink water, lots of 1t, and scrawny figure, dependent on the ladies tailor for any thing like presentability, becomes Is graceful as a sylph-whatever sylph Is. Like all fads, it will pass on. It can never be popular with the rich, as 1t costs nothing. Think of curing ones self without being able to boast of the tremendous cost. Some day the world and that includes the fashionable worlds going to learn that plain living, cold water when you are thirs ty, and just average saneness in the daily life will furnish all the health, beauty and years of life that humanity needs or is entitled to. When that time comes there will be no fads.

EDGAR ALLEN POE
AND THE SHORT STORY

Although it is perhaps a bit Of over-exuberant pat
riotism to call Poe the inventor of the short story, writes
Robert Morss Lovett in The Reader Magazine for August,
yet surely he first recognized the form as having an in
dependent existence, and as possessing certain adyan-
tages which the novel has not, notably that Of totally. "
Mr.. Lovett distinguishes between the short story and
the story that is merely short. The short story proper,
he tells us. begins its true history in recent times, and
may be regarded as the original and characteristic literary
form Of the nineteenth century, at least in America,
much as the Addisonian essay and the novel were origin
al and characteristic types of English literature in the
century before. q"
The vital difference between the true short story
and the tale, says Mr.. Lovett, appears in any study of
American literature in the early years of the nineteenth
century. In America, as in England and in Europe gen
orally, the cardinal fact to be reckoned with is the so
called romantic movement" Mr.. Lovett suggests that it
was the essential romanticism of Poe and Hawthorne
that resulted in that complete and organic union be
tween substance and form, that unity and totahty of eff
feet which. we have seen, constitute the peculiar art OF
the short story. He then proceeds to contrast the intlu-
ences exercised upon succeeding fiction by those two
early opponents of the short story. We read:
Poe had undoubtedly a large influence on succeed
ing story writer's, American, English and French. His
influence has been the wider because his tales Of clever
ness really belong to no country or race. As in the case
of Scribe. the international French dramatist, what was
significant in his work, his technique, could be transport
ed anywhere, would pass current among all nations, and
could he counterfeited by any man or industry. OF things
more difficult of transmission and assimilation-Of ma
tional or local realism. of criticism of lfe-he has moth
ing. His characters are automata; his stories take place
nowhere or anywhere; he has no ethical outlook. He is
thus significant as an international writer more than as
founder of the American school of fiction. That school,
for its distinctive qualities. looks back to Hawthorne as
its originator. = After all, however, Hawthornes
greatness is not a matter of mechanical skill, but Of tenn
permanent. His quality is to be tested by its elusiveness
under analysis of imitation. Any man of second rate in
t~eliigence can initiate Poe, but Hawthorne is inimita-

pany Of New York, was host yesterday
afternoon at a delightful banquet to
the agents of the company, who spent
last week in the city to attend the an
nual convention of the Mutual Life

The banquet was given at Zelger,s
cafe. The menu was extensive and
very fine and the decorations of the
private dining room in which the ban
quet was given, were very artistic.
After the banquet at the cafe Mrs.

the handsome Day residence on West
Railroad avenue, where the evening
was passed with music and playing
cards.
Those who attended were: NJ. c.

NEW ~ANAESTHETIC

Word comes from Philadelphia that Dr. Oryile Hor-
witt, the leading surgeon connected with St Agnes hospi-
tai, is making a series of tests and experiments with
Scopolamine. a new anaesthetic which promises to dis
place ether. chloroform and all other anaesthetics in gen
eral use by surgeons all over the world. Scopolamine Is
a comparatively new drug, although it has been used IN
Germany for some time in internal medicines. 1t is an
alcaloid and possesses qualities which make it an ideal
medium for producing general or local anaesthesia. Only
onethirty-second of a grain is required to produce com
plete anaesthesia in the whole body.
At first it was feared that the drug would not be eff
fective enough to stand the test of exceedingly painful
operations. but at a recent tumor operation, in which DR..
Horwith used Scopolamine as an anaesthetic, because
the patient would not have survived the application OF
ether or chloroform. the drug stood the severe test of an
operation with the electric knife, one of the most painful
operations known to surgery. During the entire opera
ton the patient aid not show the slightest twitch, al
though the white hot knife cut into his tissues.
One hour after the operation he awoke perfectly
fresh and without the least indication Of nausea or any
of the unpleasant after effects which make ether and
chloroform so Objectionable in many cases. Since then
DIR. Horwitz has used the wonderful drug in a nmber Of
other operations and in every case the success was be-
yond all expectation. He will continue the tests for some
time before he shall report The result OF his investigations
to the medical profession in general. The new anaesthet-
ic is dissolved and Administered by hypoderm!c iG!eo-
ton.

TFEE TRULY GREAr

Massachusetts people propose to erect a monument
10 the memory of Ephraim Bull, of Concord. Years ago.
finding a wild grapevine in the woods, he transplanted it
to his yard. Careful attention resulted in delicious grapes.
The original vine is still growing and is the father of the
Concord grapes today grown all over the world.
A humble man was Ephraim Bull. Probably nothing
was further from his dreams than immortal fame. He
was not conscious that he possessed the elements of
greatness, but meekly did the little duty that lay next to
his hand, did it well, enjoyed doing it, got his rich re-
ward in the grapes he grew, and lived and died content.
His comings and COINS were attended by no brass bands;
he excited no cheers, and no press agents glowingly de-
picted him in print. And yet this Ephraim Bull was one
OF the greatest, because one of the most useful, men that
the world has known.
Compared with him the noisily-adored heroes OF
war and statecraft are but giistening tinsel beside the
dull, true gold. The statesman may devote his life to a
principle which before his generation passes proves to
be false. The resplendent hero of historic battle may
contrive the killing of thousands to fix upon the necks of
the people of a nation oppression for centuries. But the
humble toiler, at work in his little garden, training a
wild vine to the production of luscious fruit that will
gladden. the hearts of the millions for all times to come,
is worth more to the world that them all.
Such men as Ephraim Bull, Luther Burbank and 9th
ers of that kind deserve to live forever in the hearts of
a grateful posterity.

Certainly Model Town.

We have often called attention to the moral force
operative in Pennington. That, with the splendid civic
pride exhibited by a large per cent of her population is
the cause of much of her favorable reputation abroad.
But the first has been so wonderfully eXemplified in the

In the four years that Harrington has been incorpor-
