We SHOULD READ POETRY.
The Need to Keep Alive Faith n
Spiritual Literature.

Analysis is encouraged by our evil
cation more than the sense Of beauty
1t is scientific age, and we are all IN
danger to some extent Of that atropbJ
of the imagination Of which Darwin is !
the most famous case. Poetry Is In
literature that branch which appeals
primarily to the imagination and helps
to keep it alive, as exercise helps til
preserve the body. AS we do not pro !
duce much poetry or other imaginative
art we are thrown back upon the past
and this increases the necessity of edu-1
cation in poetry, for forms Of exprcs 4
sion which are not contemporary are
seldom entirely appreciated with oDsI
training Often people Of the best nat {
ties than others less naturally appres
ciative, but with more mental and aes-i
thetic exercise in youth. The most
sincere minds reject most emphaticat-f
ly any pretense Of caring for what they
really do not enjoy. Thus among the
truest natures Of our acquaintance onei
sees nothing in carly painting. another
in poetry and q third in the higher mu-i
sic, all from lack rather Of training
than Of eye, ear or fancy. In the GIRL
cumstances Of our day it is more ins-
portant in a child's education that he,
should be prepared to like and under
stand Spenser and Wordsworth, Mil-3
ton, Burns and Shelley than that he
should early acquire realistic modef

TAFFY CANDY.
Why 1t Becomes White Through
Pulling and Working,

You have often wondered and have
even gone SO far perhaps as to ask
your scientifically inclined friend why
candy OF taffy made from brown sugar
or even molasses becomes white by
pulling and working. The question is
not a hard one to find an answer for,
provided you look in the right place.
but it is ten chances to one that you
have never seen solution of the eng
ma in print
First, the exposure to the air and the
friction evaporate the sirup, which
contains most of the coloring matter,
and facilitate the civilization of the
carbon in the sugar. which is always
white. Sugar contains eleven atoms
Of oxygen to twelve Of carbon and
eleven Of hydrogen. The strip drained
from this same sugar in the refining
process not only contains more or less
Of coloring matter, but has smaller
proportion Of oxygen to the amount Of
carbon.
Still another reason why taffy is
whitened by the pulling process is be-
cause 1t is in effect similar to crush
ing. Pure, clear rock candy, when
crushed, has it's powers Of absorbing
light destroyed or greatly impaired. the
pulverized portions rejecting all the
elementary colors in each ray, which,
Of course, results in the eye receiving
the impression Of white light.

the queer contradictions about this con-

houses are usually surrounded by a
fringe Of dirt and although they don't
take to modern sanitation a bit, they
are very clearly in their personal
habits.

He completes his toilet by polishing
his long nails. and every day or so he
visits the barber, who shaves not only
the scanty hair on his face, but also
his head and the inside of his ears
If he can afford it. the Chinaman puts
on clean blouse every day or two. 1t

The Word "Gent."
At one time the word gent" was q
reputable term for general USE A re-
spectacle writer In 1864 tells Of "a
supper to divers gentlemen Of the
Gray's inne for the great amitie be-
tween them and the Middle Temple
gents" The diarist Evelyn speaks Of
the noise and tumult occasioned by
three or four wild gents in drink"
Soon after Queen Victoria's accession

speaks Of it in 1912 as an "affectionate
diminutive at present much in use

WITH THE IMMoRTALs.
Creatures That Seem Never to Dls
From Old Age.


Wandering unconcernedly In the field
of view of any high power microscope
there may be seen an animal which
has probably been living continuously
ever since life first appeared on the
earth and which has certainly never
lost an ancestor by death. The creature
Is transparent and resembles drop Of
slightly more viscid fluid in the thin
film Of water in which it is confined.
AmOeba is the name by which it is
known to science. Splash a drop Of
ink on paper, and you will have an
Idea Of its form at any one moment,
but It's form is never the same. Even
as you watch it its shape, which had a
resemblance to Ireland as it appears
on the map, changes. The headlands
at the southwest corner are becoming
more and more prominent till now they
are like the fingers of an outstretched
hand Of which the palm Is rapidly
shrinking. The whole creature is fow-
ing rather than creeping toward a
small chain Of bacteria. which present
~ it devours. There is no mouth
through which they pass. They are
simply engulfed as small drops Of wa
ter may be merged into a larger. In
an hour or two they will have been
digested-burned off as fuel to supply
the activities of their destroyer.
Occasionally amid it's ceaseless
changes of form amoeba may be seen
to be developing waist" which
grows smaller and narrower until it
snaps. and instead Of one large animal
we have two small ones, which, with
out even momentary pause, continue
the search for food TILL in a few hours,
each is full sized and ready to divide
again.
But what has become Of the original
amoeDa? In the absence of anything
which could be called his corpse we
cannot declare him dead. 1t must be
said that he is still living as the two
new amoebae. Now, this splitting into
two being the only mode of reproduc-
ton Of the race, it follows that all the
previous parent amoebae from which
our present two are descended are still
living. OF course thousands Of the
animalculae are destroyed every day
by natural foes, but it must be re-
membered that these unfortunates
cannot by the nature of things leave
any children and SC will never be an
cestors. and that SO long as any one
amoeba is living none of his direct an
cestry is dead.
The conclusion has forced itself up
on biologists that death is no part Of
the life scheme of these humble crea-
lures They are not like us-machines,
preordained to run down in more or
less certain period Of years-but they
live on Indefinitely till some chance ac-
cident cuts short their career. Youth.
or, rather, immaturty, they experience
from time to time, but old age never!-
