Culture and Suicide.

= .H ri culture anu SulClU0s
Centuries ago the view was held by
people of refined culture that it was
laudable for man or woman to COM
nit self murder rather than face the
loss Of fortune, reputation or health.
There a more reasonableness in this
doctrine than in the notion which ac-
tuated the college professor and his
wife who destroyed themselves recent
~ from u morbid impulse. Death re-
moved an only child, and they could
not brave the future stripped of their
one life incentive. The extreme self
ishness behind this strange tragedy is
unmistakable.
Leaving aside the orthodox teaching
of this era, the whole tendency of our
moral and intellectual culture is i'm
provement of the human type. 1t is
natural, of course, to wish to produce
from ones own loins a high type of
Individual. Parents heroically deny
themselves in order to elevate their
children. But the great end to be
reached lies beyond the scope Of one
Individual life. So long as there are
ideals unattained by the average ome
thing noble remains for the cultured
to live f0. Culture is a heritage, and
every educated person is the steward
of at least II talent, which should be
kept at work. until an accounting is
~imperatively demanded.

First Catch Your Novelist.

Recently Anthony Hope disc6 ;sed
the aver pertinent question of the
making Of a novelist. His remarks
bore directly upon the attempt to es-
tablish classes In fiction writing at the
higher Institutions Of learning. Mr..
Hope makes many good points against
the theory that literature is a profess
sion which can be mastered by routine
application like the law and engineer
ing. While admitting that one novel
list may train another, he insists that
the. teacher must have at the start a
novelist for his pupil or his labor will
b. wasted. He cites the case of the
French master Flaubert teaching the
still greater NRupassant. but says,
"Flaubert had in Maupassant a born
novelist caught young"
Mr.. Hope deprecates classes in ic-
ton. If they are inevitable he sug-
gests that only those candidates who
have natural bent or fancy be ac-
cepted. That should prevent the spoil
L- - - sA.- -.s
ing of many a good clerk or other use
full factor in business to make a poor
novelist. AS for the born novelist, at
school the honest professor would tell
him that he doesn't amount to much
anyway and thus smother the native
fire before it burst into flame. At
best the school taught writer would
be another Anthony Trollope, good for
so many words every day in the year.
1t is said that every life has at least
one romance in it. Now and then a
soul does not rest until the story is
told. If it is a good one the world
cries for more and the novelist comes
to himself.

Humor e'a Philosophy
By DUNCAN N. SMITH
THE YEAR AFTER.

Now man can rustic for himself
II he would win a charlner,
A city girl. q college belle,
The daughter of a farmer.
And little chance he has II he
Is backward or faint hearted.
It's up to him to make the break
Since leap a has departed.
1t isn't like it used to be
When girls could do the choosing,
When he could sit around and wait
And know what they We're losing.
Now IL a wife he wants to win
TITS he must make advances.
PROFOUND the question without aid
And wait and take his chances.
Last year he strutted in the light
And waited to be captured
BY some young lady rich and fair
And by his charms enraptured,
And some were carried off perhaps
BY maidens quite delighted.
But more remained in single bliss,
ones who We're not invited.
If he would be a family man
BY his own fireside doing,
He must prepare/to frame it up
10 do his w proposing.
He canno from the ladies hope
Assistance in his wooing
Since during leap yea he. looked swee
And there was nothing doing.
