The call of the wild" These words have been used to define that primal instinct in man, which has been the and civilization. The ancient Greeks heard this magic call and pushed out from the towns and. cities they had builded to form colonies on hitherto unknown shores. The tradition runs that it drove Eneas and his followers from the ruins of Troy to journey over distant seas to the banks of the Tiber and there foundAthe Roman nation. Later 1t urged on the Romans to the conquest of the wilds of Germany, Britain and Gaul. It was in answer to this call that Columbus made his perilous voyage across the broad At lantic. It led his followers, who col onized these savage shores. to push on over the Western pradries and the Pa cific slope and create an empire des- tined to be the greatest in the world. The tide of empire which has so long been flowing to the Occident is now turning to the Orient. The savage islands of the Pacific and Indian oceans have sent forth this call. and civilized man Is answering it. It has sounded from the jungles of darkest Africa, the ice-bound regions of the Arctic and the unexplored Antarctic, and there will soon be no more wilds. There are al- ways adventurous spirits who feel cab ined, cribbed. confined in the cities civ ilization has builded, who flee from their luxurious life and obey with alacrity this imperative call. They go forth to explore painless forests and untrodden deserts, to scale rugged mountains and blow unnavigated seas in search of new worlds to conquer
 When all these worlds have yielded to human progress, the spirit of conquest will no longer sway the hearts of men, and that ancient prophecy that ''The nations shall learn war no more," will be fulfilled. Then, and then only, will the redeemed and rejuvenated earth become fitting abode for aspiring and enlightened man. Then the triumphs he seeks will be those of art, science and philanthropy, and human life will have a value and contentment never known when the Call of the Wild
 was the impelling motive of mankind.

SNOW STATUES.
eeeeeeeeeseeeeeEeeeeee

An interesting account of the snow statues made by the young art stu dents of Brussels, and exhibited in the Royal Park annually, when the weath- CT conditions are favorable, is given by a writer in the Strand Magazine. An admission of twenty-five centimes is charged, and the money paid by the enormous crowds which visit the ex- hfbition goes toward the support of the school from which the art students come.
 The Pare Royale belongs to the King, but the necessary permission is easily forthcoming, by which the stu dents are allowed to transform the park into an atelier, shutting out for dinarily make the park their pleasure ground. No one, in fact, is allowed inside the gates except the students and their masters. These, during three days, work ceaselessly, prepar- ing the statues for exhibition. On the fourth day the gates are thrown open. and everybody. comes to see.
 The students are allowed to take any subject they like, and all the pro fessors do during the first three days is to walk round, criticize and keep warm. The students carry all the snow Most of it is obtained in the very natural way of starting, a snow- baal; and rolling it until enough is collected. The modelling is the cold est part of the work, but so well Is the snow molded that the figures seem as if they were cut in stone.
 On the last day of the preparation the watering pot Is in great demand. The use of water on the snow gives to the statue glossy, adamant sur face, which goes far toward winning prize and preventing the work of art from melting into nothingness.
 The students make point of model ing near lamp post, because the light gives additional attractiveness to their work when night comes on, and the park is full of visitors.
 Animal subjects are among the most popular, and some of the statues are really ambitious. The artists create new groups, or else copy group by some noted sculptor, like Thorwaldsen. The elephant is the fa- vorite animal, although lions and bears press him very hard.
 Nearly all the benches in the park are utilized by the students for re- cumbent figures or for numerous sub jects. One of the benches, for eX ample, contained an old peasant wom an who had fallen asleep in one cor ner, while a dog crouching at her feet, watched his mistress for signal to leave.
 One winter one of the best pieces of sculpture was the bust of Leopold II, King of the Belgians. The German Emperor has also been seen in the park. at some distance, it is true, from Bismarck, whose magnificent head lent itself finely to the snow sculptor's tools. Humbert of Italy, with his wonderful mustaches, had a place ip one recent exhibition.

GIRLS HARVESTING CROPS.
Mnny of Them Earn Good Wnsea In
 Wheat Fields of Northwesx.


 Mnny of Them Earn Good wnsea in
 Wheat Fields of NOrthwesz.
 The small grain harvest that was recently being finished throughout Southern and Central Nebraska sup plies convincing proof that the women of the West are rapidly crowding the men out of the fields of labor and are candidates for positions in all of the respectable avocations. When the Ne braska small grain harvest opened there was a great shortage of male help. Even S3 day, with board, lodg- ing and washing, did not attract the city man. A large number of college students went to the rescue of the ripening grain, but the supply was far less than the demand. Farmers be- came desperate. The price of wheat kept on soaring and they could not afford to let the grain go back into the ground. Out in Beatrice one day Henry Wilson, farmer living nine miles south of town, needed four men for gathering and shocking wheat. He offered idle park loungers $3.25 8 day. but they declined to go to work. Stop ping at a lunch counter before going home, Mir. Wilson told of his troubles to Miss Jeanette Allison, waitress.
 Why don't you hire girls?" she asked.
 They would nc. go into the harvest field and they would not do the work if they could" responded the farmer.
 Try them" iventured the girl. Give me the same wages as you would man and I will go. Besides, if I do not do the work of a man I will not charge you a cent"
 Not only did Miss Allison ride home with Farmer Wilson that night, but four of her girl friends went along. The next evening Farmer Wilson told his wife that he had never had harvest hands that did better work than the five girls. The second day farmers came from miles about, saw the girls at work, and that night many of them went to Beatrice and other neighbor- ing towns. where they hired fifteen young women to work in the grain fields.
 Word was passed down to Omaha that young women could have employ me1t in the harvest fields of Gage County An employment agency DUO lished this ad:
 'Wanted-One hundred young wom- en to work in the harvest fields. Wages S3 per day. Board and wash ing"
 
 The next day that employment agent did business. He was swamped with applicants, all young women, school teachers, stenographers. college girls and girls who had been working in factories at from s6 to s7 per week. All they wanted was to be given a trial. The farmers gave them the trial, and they made good. They re mained with the farmers until the harvest was finished, and many of them will continue during the stack ing and having, receiving from s1.75 to S2 per day and board.-Omaha (Neb.)

Lombroso Is known chiefly because of his theory that unsocial or anti social men-criminals, for example, are degenerates or reversions to a primitive type, and by his further theory that degeneracy has its phy- sical marks by which 1t can be detect ed. The uniformed ear or nose or hand became with him a synonym for the existence of criminal tendencies, and the conclusion was that the only means of improving society lay in get ting rid of its degenerates. It was beautiful theory, but over and over again Lombroso was tricked in the ap- plication of 1t He would be told, for example. about a particular case of crime, and sent the photograph of some philanthropist along with the de- tails, and he would proceed to point out ell the marks of degeneracy on the philanthropist to it the crime. Or he would be sent unlabeled pho- tographs of William D. Howells and of convicted criminal. and he would pick out Howells for a degenerate of the lowest type, and classify the crim- inal as a good citizen. All of which was very unfortunate for the reputa- ton of his theory. Apart from this. however. the tendency of modern ln- vestigations is distinctly away from the idea that social conditions are due directly to the primary physical char acteristics of individuals. The Galton- Pearson school is, indeed, working along such lines, but 1t Is isolated, and the great mass of evidence Is accumu- lating in a different direction. It is
 more the way in which men are grouped and formed irto social classes, ehe way in which the opportunities

for getting a living" have been seized and modified and appropriated, by which scientists now explain those typical reactions of some individuals against the rest, which are known as criminal. Lombroso was an interest ing man, an active investigator, stim- ulating scientists how ever, mainly as a warning rather than an example. Ills place already Is fixed as in the picturesque outskirts of the scientific country.

Get Out and Dig.

An English specialist in nerve dis eases has been recommending all who suffer from any kind of mind disturb ance to take to- digging. for he says there is something about mother earth that gives steadiness and balance. If every woman who is victim of neu- ralgia, nervous headache or irritahility would take a spade and dig little patch in her garden every morning before breakfast and then interest he-- self in this little patch so far as to see what can be grown in it he is of the opinion that she would soon forget her troubles The remedy is simple one and worthy of trial by those who find it within their reach. It is cheap CT and more agreeable than travelling to a distance for baths and other cures and if used with discretion can do the patient no harm.

Henry Sienkiewicz says that his in- spiration for Quo Vadis" came from the study of three famous master pieces. First of all, in the works of Tacitus, with whom or all the Latin classics l am best acquainted. Then I was deeply influenced by Chateau brsand's Genie du Christianisme,' es- pecially by what he has written about the early Christian martyrs. But owe most of all to the English Car of the Catacombs,' an able and pictur- esque story, which exercised over me powerful fascination from dawning boyhood."
