he soul is a lonely thing at best whence
it came, 1t knows not at all; whittier 1t
goes, it knows as little: what it is doing
here, and how, it knows least of any. To
expand in a little kindness and be CRATE
full, to communicate a little strer> or
cheer and be content-that Is all it looks
for. Without the love of our fellows we
are leafiess stocks, numbering the ground
we are waterless wells, hooking our own
need. For all that is given we may give
again in thankfulness and devotion; but
only as seed is sown can earth bear fruit,
only as we are loved can we love again.
Let no man think he can give and not
receive. AS soon could hollows in desert
sand turn to green pools grit about with
whispering reeds and Towering rushes.
Surely as the babe smiles up because the
mother smiled, so do we give all because
to us, desertless all has been given. Let
a man count for one day the services, the
firendliness, the trivial kindly deeds, the
pleasant tones, the smiles, merely that
have fallen like dew upon him. He will
never again reckon himself Independent

dear he leans for sympathy for compre-
hension. for courage. His very virtues
are fed from without. How mitch do we

The Tombs of Egypt's Kings

From Harpers Weekly.
In some of the tombs the sarcophag i
were still in pIace-all empty, except one.
This was the splendid tomb of Amenophis
II Of the eighteenth dynasty. who lived
in the glory of Egypt 1900 B. Ca warrior
who slew seven Syrian chiefs with his
own hand. Gaddis had not told US what
to expect in that tomb, and when we had
followed through the long declining way
and reached the royal chamber and be-
held there not an empty sarcophagus,
but a king asleep. we were struck to ST.
lence with that $500 years of visible rest.
The top of the sarcophagus is removed,
and is replaced by heavy plate glass.
Just over the sleepers face there is a
tiny electric globe, and I believe one
could never tire of standing there and
looking at that quiet visage, darkened by
age but beautiful in it's dignity unmoved
undisturbed by the storm and stress OF
the fretful years.

The ACKNOWLEDGMENT of Torture

From Harpers Weekly
1t was once the duty of the constable
who arrested man for murder to warn
him that anything he said TO his own
detriment would be used against him in
court, and then he was left to the advice
of his counsel. This seems to be still
the duty of the constable in Englang
but apparently it is no longer the duty
of constables in these states, or, if it is
their duty, they ignore it, and openly
violate it. In the successive editions
of the papers relating the history of
the affair, we learn that the accused
has perhaps been forced to look on the
body of his victim, and the head inquis-
1tor has shaken his fist in his face and
shouted at him, 'sYou killed this mani
Tor more probably woman) and group
of detectives and reporters has noted the
psychological effect. From time to time
It is proclaimed that the accused is
''breaking down. that his mind is Civ
ing away under the stress put upon
him, and that the police will have his
confession by morning"
All this goes on as If the accused were
being lawfully tried by that high court
Of detectives, and his conviction and
punishment would logically follow in a
very little time; it is only a question Of
time. Yet the fact is he has not been in
dicted; the grand jury has not been
called upon to pass on the question
whether there is sufficient evidence
against him to justify his being held in
arrest; he has not been arraigned in any
court, or confronted with the states
trial, or protected by the counsel who
are to defend him; no petit jury has
been chosen to hear the proofs and the
pleas for or against him. no judge has
presided at the hearing and instructed
the jurymen in the law by which he
shall live or die. 1t has not yet gone
90 far that the lords of the third degree
can condemn him and relax him to the
secular arm for execution but, if this
sort of thing is to continue we may
perhaps arrive at some such speedy
form of jurisdiction in cases where the
guilt of the accused is patent to the de-
tectives and the reporters
