life, but hardly even a clergyman could
come so near my ideal OF the perfect
existence-'He went about doing good. "
Julius, the Poet.
''Oh, quite a sermon" said Lefty. and
really don't deserve It I am sure it is
time made up my mind to marry soPe-
body-or my good looks will be all gone
before I get a husband"
What nonsense!"
NO; it is sense"
There they GOMEZ cried Edna, and
Lefty, sprinEing from her sofa, the sis
tiers hidden behind the curtain, saw DR..
Stedman wheeling his invalid brother in
a bath-chair through the garden gate.
The doctor was a tall, strong, manly
man, with a look of resolution on his
face; hk clothes were rather shabby.
The brother-Julius was his name
seemed of much less strenuous character.
He had the face Of poet, or, rather, a
face such as poets are supposed to have
and never have had since Byron, Shelley,
and Keats.
Julius Stedman was recovering from an
attack of rheumatic fever, which had left
his heart weak and his brother had
brought him to the Isle OF Wight for a
change Of air.

course, to the sick man; I'VE ought not

Lefty.
And his brother, the doctor" con-
tinued Edna, how bad he must feel"
Lefty. laughed. well, he is a doctor
and used to sickness He ought to cure
him.
In time, Of course, and not such a very
long time, the Stedmans and the Ken
derdine sisters became acquainted-in
fact friends.
The ice of conventionality was broken
in this way. One day. when the doctor
was out, Julius had a fainting fit. The
landlady raised a hullabaloo. and Edna,
always practical and ready with assist
ance, ran into the Stedman apartments
and revived the invalid with spirits Of
ammonia and brandy.
When she came back to her own rooms
Lefty told her that she had acted in a
highly improper manner.
few days after they met the doctor
wheeling his brother in through the gar
den gate. and the doctor thanked Edna
for what she had done for his brother.
AFTER tnat they met on the Dedcn anu
strolled about together. Julius always in
his wheel chair.
The Artistic Temperament.
He was an artist by profession, an as
piring artist, and good judges said he
had a future before him. But, like too
many other artists Of merit who never
arrive" he had in his nature that COM
pound of helplessness, femininity and
nonsense which is nowadays called, by
euphemism, the artistic temperament"
Every one who has associated at all
with artists must have met men Of the
Julius type. What Is to be done with
them-how are they to be treated so
that their weaknesses shall be replaced
by at least a modicum Of strength; their
erraticism converted into sanity without
quenching the divine afflatus which, in
such natures, consumes where II should
illuminate?
That Is a question not answered yet;
certainly it could not be answered by

UNOBTRUSIVE WEALTH.

That it is only in elemental society
that people wear their claims to- con-
sideration.'' is a saying of Clara E
Laughlin's. This desire to carry ones
property or the signs of it about on
ones back is left over from nomad
days. when no one had any home OF
background of established repute
Later people began to stay in one
place, to make homes and to gather
the evidence of wealth in houses an6
other possessions. The higher the
sense of what is worth possessing the
further does one get from desiring
to exhibit ones possessions in dress
and the less obtrusive all tokens o,
wealth become. The most beautiful
homes show regard for comfort and
beauty; but they do not speak OF
wealth. Their first impression is al.
ways beauty, and the uninitiated
might never suspect the wealth tina,
many simple and perfect home
setting really represents.

AMERICAS RADIUM POSSIBLE
TIES.

The public has been interested in
the announcement that the pitch
blende deposits in Colorado. whence
radium is derived, have been purchas-
ed by Alfred I. du Pont to insure
home supply Of that metal. A far
more important source Of radium
however. says the Independent. Is
the mineral carnotite (named in 1889
after the late president of France.
which occurs scantily in Turkestan
and in Australia, but far more abund-
antly in the United States. 1t is
now obtained in southwestern Colo
rado and in eastern Utah. most pro-
fusely in the canyon walls OF Para
dox valley. The American mining
congress at its recent meeting In Phil
adelphia ws told by Charles Parsons,
chemist OF the United States bureau
Of mines. that this was the richest
radium producing region in the world;
and that at least four times as much
radium was produced from American
carnotite in 1912 alone as from all
the Colorado pitchblende yet treated
Virtually all Of 1t, however. was sent
to Europe, and very inadequately
| paid for; but the miners have learned
better now. and are also saving much
waste in the reducing process, so
that better returns are being receiv-
ed.
