END OF RoussEAU's LIFE sTRUe-
GLE

On the 9Th of April, 1913, Jean
jacques Rousseau, the great French
writer, died. Rousseau was born on
the 18th of June ,1712, the son OF
poor matchmaker.
The Rousseau family found bare
living difficult, and the boy, Jean, as
soon as he was old enough, according
to the standards of the time, and the
needs of the family, was apprenticed
to an engraver. This engrayer, Du-
common, was a man whose harshness
made him a terrible master to the boy.
He threatened Jean in the most brutal
fashion.
The boy had never been over-strong,
and this treatment became so awful
to him that even his nights were filed
with horror and fear of his masters
blows and beatings.
AS long as he could he endured this
trial, but when endurance was no
longer a virtue he ran away from the
shop of Ducommon and became a
homeless outcast. Knowing that he
would not be welcome at home, even
if he had not had the fear that Du-
common would recapture him if he
went there, the boy was utterly at a
loss what to do.
He was penniless. His physical in
frmities were such as to prevent him
from laboring at the ordinary work OF
boy of his age. AS homeless wan
dered he finally drifted to Paris, where
he spent years of suffering. But in
those years he was slowly fitting him.
ripped off nd new one made of linen,
self for the task that was to be his.
He learned that he had something OF
gift for writing, and he set about
cultlvating to the best of his ability.
He was an assiduous reader and a
careful thinker. After years of priva-
ton and poverty he produced writ
ings that made him at once leader
of the philosophic thought of his time

Exit.

London paper wonders why the
English-spealling people use the Latin
word exit for 'sortie," or way out"
and in Boston there has lately been
movement for the use of an Anglo
Saxon word in labels for public places.
But "sortie' is no more English than
exit "way out" is two words, and
out in itself is not clear and vivid
enough in its suggestion In fact,
there is much to be said exit" 1t
has become thoroughly domesticated,
and is intimately associated with the
history of the stage. 1t is short and
clear to the eye, and it means but one
thing and is always used in a very
definite sense. AS a result it has a
suggestive power that makes it very
valuable in directing a crowd. 1t is
sort of verbal policeman, always on
duty. 1t would be rather a pity to
have its place taken by an English
word whose force is dissipated among
fifty meanings.

ROBBINS STREET
John Henderson, After Seeing It,
 Has Something to Say.

When seen by reporter to-day MT Henderson had this to say regarding the Robbins street trolley question: Robbins street is a comparatively
 new street. It was opened to make an
 easier way of getting to the Middle
 bury road than by climbing up West
 Side hill. Travelling over it for the
 first time about two weeks ago, sup
 posed that the shape in which saw
 It was that which had been determined
 upon when it was first opened. /It seems. however, that the ideal way of getting to the Middlebhry road, so much talked about at that time. has not yet become reality. I was in error ill supposing that the question before the aldermen was one concern ing the changing of an established grade at the request of the trolley company.
 Before many years Robbins street will be a very important thoroughfare. No one would advocate making it less than sixty feet wide. Though the work may not be done immediately, the city ought to plan for it on broad lines. The distance of thirty-fiye or forty feet between the abutments of the proposed bridge could not by add ing to it, something that is up in the air, be called d sixty foot street. The proposed inclined plane could never be regarded as a part of the street. it would only be an obstruction to it. The whole matter requires more considera- tion. Why have that inclined plane at all? The residents of this part of the city hope to see that street put ill fine shape as soon as bonds can be issued to pay for the work.'
