LIVES AND WRITINGS UNLIKE
Men Of Letters Often Have Described
Best That Which They Never
Have Experienced.

Finally, a man of genius, when he
writes book. and '.all the good
comes rushing into his SOUL" is in an
abnormal state. and hence. the lives OF
men of letters have often been in glar
Ing contrast to their writings Mon
taigne tells US that he always OBJ
served super-celestial opinions to be
accompanied with subterranean NOR
ais; on the other hand, the most lati-
tudinarian professors Of epicureanism
have often lived like anchorites or
trappists. Some of the best sea songs
have been written by men who never
snuffed salt water breeze; stirring
war songs have been written by timid
men and women who would have
shrieked at the sight of mouse; and
hymns STEPPED in the very spirit OF
devotion have been written by men or
doubtful morality. who were never
less at home than in a Christian
church. Charles LIANT was ready to
wager that Millions morning hymn In
Paradise was penned at midnight; and
we know positively that Thompson,
who sang the praises OF early rising
in the Seasons" used % lie abed TIL
noon. Sir Richard Steele could dis
course eloquently on temperance
when he was not drunk; Woodwork.
In his "Old Oaken Bucket" sang the
praise of cold water under the inspira,
ton of brandy. Doctor Johnson. who
wrote SO well on politeness, interrupt,
ed his opponents with You lie, sir!'
You are vile Wing, sir!' Burns
was compound of dirt and deity;
Rousseau. who was always filing peo-
pies eyes with tears, betrayed and
slandered his benefactors in turn. and
sent his children to the foundl!ngs
hospital. When Moore proposed to
Scott to go and see Melrose Abbey, as
Sir Walter had described il, by moon
light. Pooh, pooh" said Scott you

NEW USE FOR THE SCHOOLS
Plan Is Put Forward to Utilize Some
of the Sixty Per Cent.
Waste Time.

The American school plant is valued
at more than $1,000, 100000. and as
used for school purposes alone utilities
but thirty-nine per cent. OF the time
which could be given to the needs OF
the community. This, according to the
National Magazine, represents total
loss of school plants to the country
of more than $30000,000 every year.
An active movement is now taking
place to turn school property during
the summer months into children's
Fairgrounds and places Of amusement
and to make them the center of recre-
alton. of political and social life. the
same as in country places. where they
serve many purposes. oftentimes even
for church services.
Evening schools, free lectures. in
door sports. folk dances. civic and ed.
ucational meetings and gymnastic ex-
ercises are among the things men
toned for which school plants should
be utilized. 1t is proposed by some
to have the schoolhouses opened
every day Of the week. Sundays In
cluded. so that the community may
get the greatest possible benefit from
them.
II this movement grows pupils will
no longer find after vacation a musty
smelling deserted building. but rather
one which has been in use every day
in the year by those who love to give
the public every possible advantage Of
the buildings provided for public pur.
poses.

The assembly of the notables at Yer sailles, Nov. 5, 1TSS. will ever stand as one of the great landmarks in hu- man progress. not on account of itself. but in conseuence of what it led to Louis XVI. being in great financial straits, had already called together the big men of his realm. but it is with this second meeting of the great ones that history will ever be the most pro f0undly concerned. The ''notables," |" made up of the nobility and aristoc- racy of the realm, listened to their own voices and displayed their gold lace and vanity for something over a month and adjourned without doing anything either for the king or the peo- pie. Disgusted with the stupidity and indifference of the notables. Louis con- voked the states general, which was composed of representatives of the no bilfty, clergy and third estate, or plain people. Maddened by the contemptu- ous treatment they received at the hands of nobless. the delegates of the third estate organized themselves into the national assembly. which in turn organized the revolution.-New York American.
