way they have their coffee is to parch

burn it just as black as can be, then
the coffee is black and as bitter as

along all right, as he spent some time
in Mexico.
When the volantc came for us next

seven feet high, with shafts eighteen
feet long. the body nice covered

close to the pNlcs. 1t is hung by
heavy leather straps. One horse
travels between the shafts near the

There were bananas as far as our

There were also several other kinds

Later we hired boat and went
across on the west shore. We found
a good many nice shells and sea pans.

forts that are distasteful to the lazy,
while they ill the eager and active
with joy and pride, like manly sports.
1t simply produces the ethical pleasure
you feel when you see repeated in an
artistic manner performances already
known and often seen. The fundamental
element Of talent is limitations. Now al
most every man, who is not suffering
from a morbid cessation OF development,
is more or less capable Of this, as Is
even our pre-and-sub human cousin, the
monkey. Imitation demands a model and
tries to resemble II, consequently prac-
tice and study. In brief, the talent may
be taught and to a certain point every
normal human being is able to develop
into talent. One may even without any
risk go still further and say: Talent is
culture In its theoretically active form.
But, as culture is nowadays so widespread
so is also talent. Talents are as numerous
as ants, every second man being q tai
ent. Just as we speak OF a proletariate
OF the liberal professions. We may talk
OF a proletariate Of talents. The student
is no longer sure that his diploma Is a
sure guarantee that he will be able 20
make a living and this fact places the
highly civilized people face TO face with
very painful social economic question.
