The Village That Is Planned.

From the New York Tribune.
Americans are not supposed to ike
their villages planned. The idea saVors

Learn to Swim.
n the New York Times.


"I was very glad that took swimming
lessons at Havergal." said little Helen
o.Hara. Well she might be. for other
wise she would not have survived the
sinking of the Empress Of Ireland. When
the little girls Of eight and ten years
survive where strong men drown the
moral is not to be escaped. 1t Is art. not
strength which conquers the treacherous
element. Giant muscles beat themselves
ont idly in the water unless there is
.>nowledge of how to make the water a
servant.
No swimmer rears himself above the
waves in the impossible manner attempt
ed by the ignorant person in the water
whose impulse Is to lift himself above
the level Of the waves as though he were
pulling himself over a fence. The swim
mer knows when 1t is safe to open ms
mouth. and that he must not breathe II
his nostrils are full Of water. Panic
strangling and heart failure cause many
deaths in the water. The swimmer has
a chance for his life because his accom-
plishment enables him to keep his wits
as well as his wind and strength. He
knows better than anybody that he can
not swim ashore. but he knows also that
he can get to deck chair or a plank or
a lifeboat. If 1t is within reasonable dis
lance. The swimmer knows that he can
help others to help him, and 1t Is no
little thing to be of help to rescuer at
a time when economy of times means
saving others n'es ds wen as your own.
Now is just the time to make this les

Mood of Disillusionment.

II is not easy for US to feel the quiver-
Ing mystery. the immanent spirit Of the
world in nature. as Wordsworth felt it.
The whole of nineteenth century science
lies between his day and ours; and
though We have rejected the easy soiu-
to analyze than to worship. We know
far more of the force which built his
mountains. dug his lakes and made his
cowslip. We know too much for easy
wonder. We know too little to pass easily
beyond the consciousness of mechanism
in the waterfall. Of chemistry in the
plant. and slavish reaction In the ami
NAL. to a contemplation of the mys-
the symbolic beauty Of the result. For
ests where Wordsworth found the mood
In which the burthen Of the mystery:
In which the heavy and the weary weight
nf all this unintelligble world,
Is lightened-
where he felt
sense sublime
or something far more deeply interfused
Whose dwelling is the light of setting suns,
And the round ocean and the living air,
And the blue sky, and in the mind of man
such forests must first appear to US as
mere coteries of cell-forms each follow
ing inevitable laws of growth, inevitably
conditioned by heredity and environment.
And by the time we have traced out the
natural causes which make one cliff
vertical and another sloping, or which
determine the location of pine and cedar,
cactus and wild rose. the mind is weary
and the mood of wonder and spiritual
refreshment may escape.
