Socrates and Beauty.

All visitors to the museums OF
Rome become familiar with the busts
of Socrates. Whe does not recognize
at first glance the almost comic face
with it's turn-up nose and utter alb
sence of the slightest claim to good
looks? We cannot help smiling at il
and yet when we think of the man
the ugliness of his face becomes pa
thetic. He worshiped beauty, his life
was devoted to teaching how life could
be made harmonious in every way and
such nose must, in spite of his philo
sophy, have been a constant trial to
him. His prayer was: Grant me tC
be beautiful in the inner man and all
l have of outward things to be al
peace with those within. May 1 count
the wise man only rich; and may my
store of gold be such. as none but the
good can bear"
He counted material wealth without
wealth of spirit mockery and to have
outward beauty without inward beauty
was to be an imposter. All the same
to have ones inward beauty so denied
by ones face must have been very an
noying and our smile at Socrates may
well be mixed with little sympathy

and an electric bulb glowed to shed
light for the locksmith The two al
dermen puffed their cigars in silence,
save for an occasional whisper, one
with another. Father Daugherty's
gaunt form leaned against the dusty
bar, strangely out of keeping with
such scene, though the saloons in
his parish knew him. especially on
Saturday nights, when he conducted
little raids of his own, and turned his
prisoners over to their wives. Now
his weary visage was relaxed in pa
tient waiting. At last the locksmith
dropped his tools, and said:
"There,:'
The thick steel doors swung out on
their noiseless hinges. The two alder.
men sprang to the side of the safe.
The priest drew near slowly, but his
little eyes were turned on the alder
men, and they fell back pace. Then
the priests long figure sank to a
kneeling posture, and he peered into
the safe. There was nothing in view
1t was strangely empty, for a safe of
its monstrous size and mystery, and
the tenacity Of its combination. He
thrust in his hand and fumbled

he laughed, little laugh. There

'He kept no accounts, your river

TT was just like him." said Father
Daugherty. But he kept on with his
search. And, when he opened the lit
tie drawer of maplewood, he found a
parcel, done snugly up In thick brown
paper. He tore it open, and there
swelled into his sight packages of
bank notes almost bursting in their
yellow paper straps. The bills were
new, and as freshly green as the
spring itself; more tempting thus,
some way, to the reluctant con-
science. The two aldermen bent over

priest, their eyes fixed on the money

Daugherty looked at them, and a. lit

The two aldermen hastily raised

STRONG, BUT OLD IN YEARS
History RepIete With Records of Men
Who Have Done Great Things Be-
yond Their Allotted Space.

There are some old men who are
not to be despised. Some are apt to
think that none but young men can
do much. Some, indeed, shoot up like
a rocket, and go out like one. Others
rise slowly, like fixed stars, and as
they are slow to rise they are slow to
set.
Cromwell was only captain when
he was forty-one, and his greatest
deeds were performed between forty
eight and fifty-six, when he died
Young was an old man when he
wrote some of his best poetry, and he
was sixty when he began his Might
much at seventy as at any period OF
his life.
Talleyrand at the age of eighty
stood at the head of affairs in France
under Napoleon, and then under the
Bourbons.
When the Russians were deter
mined to make stand and fight the
French before the walls of Moscow,
they put old Kutsof at the head of
the army in place of Barclay de Tolly.
General Blucher was seventy when
he was defeated at Ligny and fell
under his horse, and the French cav
airy rode over him; yet a day or two
after he led on his Prussians against
Napoleon at Waterloo. After many
years of warfare, those old men, Well,
ington and Soult, stood at the head
of their respective cabinets, one in
England and the other in France, pre-.
serving by their talents the peace Of
Europe and the world.

TO THE ADVANCEMENT OF ART
Economic Inquiry, Conducted Along
Scientific Lines. Means Much to
the Human Race.

Notwithstanding the growth in re-
cent years of the work of the geologl-
cal survey along practical economic
lines, scientific work has not been
neglected, according to the annual re-
port of the director for last year. In
fact, in the survey the scientific inves-
legations are inseparable from the
economic work, though the one or the
other may predominant in purpose ac-
cording to the needs of the particular
research in hand. In any field econo-
mic work of the highest rank is i'm
possible without full knowledge of the
scientific laws and principles pertain
ing to the subject of the work, but as
there is no application Of geology
which does not involve unSolved PROB
lens, some of them of the highest i'm
portance, the best knowledge available
is nevertheless relative. 1t thus fol-
lows that the broad and searching
observations which should accompany
every piece of good economic work
comprehend data that are eventually
combined in the construction of new
scientific hypothesis, some of which
as more observations accumulate.
grow into established laws or princi-
pies that are in turn of the greatest
practical consequence. Thus the de-
tailed studies of the metalliferous de-
posits in one region or another bring
to light evidence from which to deter
mine the genesis of the ores and the
modes or conditions by their occur
renee, and the economic inquiry be-
comes more intelligent and successful
when once this new principle regard
ing the mode of an ore occurrence is
understood

counts meanwhile, and 1t could not
long pretend to have forgotten mate
rial things. It would present its bills,
and they must be paid. Annie would
have hardly cent to meet them with.
And Father Daugherty knew, even If
Annie did not know, what the world
would do then.
Yet he smiled, though he shook his
head, as ne thought OF the free-hand-
ed, discriminating generosity that
had been akin to the improvidence of
.Jimmy's nature. And now he had but
one more duty to perform; the safe
in Jimmy's saloon had not been open
ed. No one, not even the bartender,
knew the combination, and Father
Daugherty had locksmith to drill the
lock. The gang had attended jim
my's funeral in black neckties, and
had mourned him sincerely, but, now
that he was buried, their attitude be-
came the common worldly attitude.
with perhaps a little more than the
usual aggressiveness in it. They were
in a quandary as to the bundle in the
new gas franchise, and many confer
epces with Baldwin had nerved them
to desperate expedients. So it was on
Baldwin's advice that they determined
to be represented at the opening of
the safe. Two of the number were de-
tailed to this duty, McQuirk of the
Ninth, and Bretzenger or the Twenty
fourth. When they made their de-
mand on Father Daugherty, explaining
that they came Ii. their capacity as
Jimmy's nearest friends, he assented
with a readiness that relieved them
both, and delighted Bretzenger.
though McQuirk, who knew Father
Daugherty better than his colleague
did, was fearful and suspicious.
Father Daugherty said that he had
thought of having witnesses, and they
would serve as well as any. 1t was
very kind Of them.
The priest and the two aldermen
waited in the saloon for two hours
while the locksmith drilled away ST.
lently. The street door was closed;
the Grape still hung from the handle
that had never gone unlatched so long
at time before, the curtains were
drawn, and outside the crowds forever
shuffled by on the sidewalk, all obliv-
ious to the little drama of hopes and
fears that was unfolding its cross-pur
poses within. The saloon was dark,

passed out of his hands, and he
sometimes questioned whether It
would ever do good in any ones
hands. But he had sense of humor,
too, a grim sense in this instance,
when he thought of certain political
and financial circles, even II he did
dust his thin hands carefully with his
spotless handkerchief when he laid
the money down.
Annie's eyes had filled with the
ready tears that welled to their sweep
ing, black lashes, and trembled there
as she raised her eyes to him.
"Ah, father" she said, che was so,
so good to me, always-and so kind!
And see how thoughtful he was-to
leave me all this! Oh, Jimmy, my
poor Jimmy!"
And she rocked forward. like an old
woman, and wept.

Have Analysed Gases.

By the use of a new German instru-
ment, which takes the index of refrac-
ton of mixed gases, Haber and Lowe
are able to find the amount of carbon
dioXide and methane contained in
mine gases. The method is also use
full in many other cases, such as for
benzol vapors in the gas distilled by
gas or coke plants, also sulphurous
anhydride in the gases coming from
pyrites roasting, as we'll as percent
ages of ozone in the air. They are
also able to check the purity of hydro
gen made by the electrolytic process,
observe the gases in human breath
and carry out other very useful tests.

Riuht-Handed Plants,

That there are right-handed plants
and left-handed plants has been re-
ported to the Cambridge (EnglanO
Philosophical society by R. f. Comp
ton. In an examination of eight va
rieties of two-rowed barley the first
leaf was found to twist to the left in
5S per cent of more than 10000 seed
lings, and an excess of left-handed
growth was found also in pillet and in
oats. In corn there seemed to be no
marked tendency either way. No evil
dence of hereditary popularity ap-
pears to have been obtained and no
special significance of the results is

left to face life alone. She could not
adjust herself to the change, and fear
and despair added their blackness to
her grief. Father Daugherty knew
how great a blow Jimmy's death
would be to her, and, though he gave
what comfort he could, he left her
grief to time. He did not belong to
the preaching orders. But, as he pom
dered in his wise old head, he shrewd-
ly guessed that the careless Jimmy
would hardly have made provision
against anything SO far from his
thoughts as death, and he perceived
that if Annie were to be protected
from a future with which she, alone
and unaided, would hardly have the
capacity to deal. some one must act.
Long ago might Father Daugherty
have celebrated his silver jubilee as
pastor of ST. Patrick's, but he was not
the man for celebrations. The parish
was one big family to him, and he
knew the joys and sorrows, the little
one in it. The sorrows of his chill
dren he bore in his own heart; they
had wrought their complex and tragic
tale in his face. The joys he left
them to taste alone; but he found too
much sorrow to have time for joy.
During all those years he had given
himself unsparingly;s if it was all he
had to give, lit was the most precior5
thing he could have given-a daily
sacrifice that exhausted a tempera-
ment keenly sensitive and sympa-
thetic. So he had grown old and
white before his time. Many a man
had he kept straight when times were
hard and the right to work denied
him; many a widow had he saved
from the wiles of the claim-agent The
corporations and the lawyers hated
him.
And so, on Monday morning, the
clerks of the probate court had
scarcely had time to yawn reluctant
ly before beginning new weeks
work, when Father Daugherty appear
ed to file Annie's waiver of her own
right to be appointed Administrative of

my had left no estate, no insurance,
nothing but the saloon. And that,
with Jimmy dead, was nothing, for its
value lay all in Jimmy's personality
and the Importance of his position in
politics. The fixtures would hardly
pay for the burying of him. When
the debts the law prefers had been
paid, Annie would have scarce a pen
ny. The world might preserve a re-
spectful and sympathetic attitude dur
ing the few exciting days when it was
paying it's last conventional tributes to
the dead man, but it kept itemized ac-
