FROM the Memphis News Scimetar.
In the book of worldly fame it is writ
ten that the great soldier with his trusty
sword hewed down the foes that encom-
passed him. and moved the way for his
army's victory and his nations glory. 1t
Is written that score of swords were
broken against his own that great day
Heroic. indeed. were his courage strength
and purpose. Honors are justly his
But in more enduring book, little read
or needed on earth. is written the record
Of the humble blacksmith who made that
sword SO keen and strong that it would
not dent or break But for the skill and
honesty of the unsung sword-maker the
praised hero would have been nothing
The many who do not appear in his
tory at ALL but whose lives are taken up
with commonplace tasks, are, neverthe-
less. soldiers and sword-makers. Each
man is both soldier and sword-maker and
his achievement in the battle of life de-
ponds as much upon the quality Of the
sword he fashions for himself as upon the
courage and energy with which he
wields it.
High purpose and perseverance are to
the man what the threads of silver are to
Damascus steel-welded into the whole,
that the blade, though 1t may be bent

Changing Paris.

From lie Cri de Paris.
The Paris of other days is gone. Our
contemporaries are enemies of the Old
stones. Frishtful AMI colossal buildings
are everywhere replacing the lovely
houses of the older time. There are only
two or three Parisians who remember and
regret. Rodin. the sculptor. in his Hotel
Biron. grumbles without ceasing at mod
ern architects. He puts them in the same
class with surgeons and gardeners He
formulates upon these three kinds of
people this judgment:
Put a gardener before a beautiful nat
ural tree and he fells it to the ground:
a. surgeon before a beautiful young
woman and he will cut into her and kin
her: an architect before a marvellous old
building and he will raze 1t to the earth"
Anatole France also deplOres the dis
appearance of Paris of the past centuries
''All the modern houses" he saws. how
ever costly they may be- appear poor be-
cause they are too high. A great height
given to the houses is a sign that they
are economizing ground space. This idea
of economy darkens the beauty of con-
struction. Beautiful architecture has al
ways. been more extended than elevated.
The lower houses of old Paris had an air
of freedom: those of today express kind
of rapacity."
He talked in this way one Sunday morn
ing with his friend the wood engrayer.
Alfred Prunafre. who will illustrate Ge-
rard de Nerval's Les Petits Chateaux
de Boheme' c'The Little Chateaus of Ro-
hemia'), which will recall the Paris of
1910. the Paris of romance.

Concerning Long Ears.
the Philadelphia Telegraph.

From the Philadelphia Telegraph
Science has made herself invaluable
to mankind as compounder of Gle
ments for the benefit of mankind
Science has also made herself ridicu-
lous as braggart and prophet about
the wonders she was about to per-
form. Prof. Schaefer lauds himself in
England for having made little crys-
tails increase and multiply. The pro-
fessor's parents produced a human be-
ing OF normal proportions and have
never been heard to flatter themselves
for having worked miracle thereby.
Nature evolved an intricate process for
the reproduction of life If man should
ever accomplish laboratory imitation
of the act he will still owe the credit
to the creator Of his own intellig ence-
nature. Hens come from eggs laid by
hens: the first egg or first hen is still
unexplained.
An American scientist now declares
(again) that long ears are a sign of
criminal degeneracy. To learn how
much truth lay behind this and other
theories, a London insti-
tute examined the physical traits of
10000 convicted lawbreakers It, then
did the same with 10000 respectable
and respected persons. And the "scien-
tiffc' result Is that today Grimm ologists
are unable to tell a convict from a
bishop by referring to the catalogued
Science is capital as servant of
man, but absurd in the role Of god.

A State Police Force.

From the Chicago Record Herald.
One of the questions being discussed
in New York city as result of the
police gambling scandal is whether. the
public would be better served by a police
force under state instead of city control.
The almost universal practice in the
United States is to leave police matters
to local governing bodies. In European
countries state police the rule.
In Pennsylvania there has existed for
several years state police force for
which a high degree of efficiency is claim

is wealthy Philadelphia, John 9.

National Guard matters al is said to
have brought the state police to "A high

and freedom from political control.
Superintendent Groome SAYS state

and villages the same protection against
crime that a city police force gives. lie
asserts that there were made by his force

Of which not mere than two would have

MONEY FOR WEDDING GIFTS.
It Is Good Form Now and Has An.
prevail of Royalty.
rom the Philadelphia Inquirer.

r rom the fnuaueiphia inquirer.
The wedding present of money has re-
ceived the stamp Of approval, and here
after 1t will be perfectly proper for any
one desiring to get rid OF the burden OF
buying a wedding present to send a check.
A few years ago no one would have
thought of giving a sum Of money to a
bride. but it's convenience and practica-
bility were at once manifest, and it was
permitted when coming from near rela-
tive. But 1t was not until a couple of
years ago that il received the necessary
hallmark Of royal approval to make it
generally acceptable to society
The approval came from no less a per-
sonage than Queen Alexandra. who sent
to friend check for 500. Her majesty
probably did 1t because she was in deep
mourning. and could not do any personal
shopping. and so. to avoid sending gift
that might be duplicated. she forwar ded a
check. Since then brides and bridegrooms
have had reason to rejoice, and at every
big wedding nowadays the item check
figures very frequently In lists Of wedding
presents.
