Napoleon's Last Hope Crushed.


One hundred years ago Napoleon,
surrounded by a few Of his marshals
who still remained faithful, was in bit
ter meditation at Fontainebleau. APP
parently he realized for the first time
that detection and opposition we're
getting too strong for him. When he
learned that the allies had captured
Paris he gave way to the whole fury Of
his Corsican temperament. But his
indomitable spirit was not yet crushed.
Despite the discouraging outlook he
nourished a faint hope that he might
recapture the city and regain his
throne. To gain time to work out his
plans he sent two of his marshals with
an offer to abdicate in favor Of his
son. the young king Of Rome. This
offer was rejected without ceremony
by the allied sovereigns, who had al
ready agreed upon the restoration of
the Bourbons.

Katharine Tynan,s Poems.

All of us were use to KIN all
ways were ~wisely-about the Celtic
rest. The thing is still here, perhaps
all the more really for our silence. and
today Mrs. lyman. with whom Mrs.
Meynell shares ungrudgingly the crown
of womanly greatness in poetry, brings
us a new book, Irish Poems" (Sidg-
wick and jackson. 3s. cd. neto, which
has the very essentials of Irishry In
every line. It could not conceivably
AVE been written by a Saxon. Mrs.
lyman, however, is a modern. and a
nothing to say of the legends beloved
of Mr.. Yeats Of Mr.. Trench. Most OF
her poems are DEVOTIONAL, many are
just exquisite child songs; but over
them all is that strange elusive visit
fulness which we have all agreed to be
the truest note Of the Celt.
There's a mist that's over Ireland when
the blackbird calls,
And when you come it's rtsin', and when
It's made of green and silver and the
rain n dew,
And the fairest sun is over 1t you ever
Och! sure it isn't mist at all. except a
mist of tears.

sweetness of the volume. but 1T sug-

are purely devotional. Why should we
shrink, even In a newspaper. from say
ing that the dominant note of these
poems is their-holiness? To be relig-
ious and unashamed is, 1t seems, pos
sible today only to an Irish poet. 1t is
difficult to quote without spelling some
Of the best poems, but here are the
concluding verses from "The Tree"
God took up a seed Of life,
Planted it in tear-wet earth;
"My poor Adam and his wife

Till its branches fill the air;

This is as certainly Celtic as it is
mystic. One would like to quote the
whole Of 1.-THE Leper," but we can only
extract the significant second verse:
Unclean! Unclean! But Thou canst make
me clean;
Like that one grateful leper Of the ten
Who ran back praising Thee.

LONG HELD IN HONOR
6EAMAN'S MAGAZINE OF AN.
GENT HISTORY.
Claims to Be the Oldest Religious
Publication Of Its Kind In America
Famous for Introduction of
Hymn That Lives.

Oldest Of all religious magazines in
America Is the Sailors Magazine,
published by the American Seamen's
Friend society, New York. Started in
1928, 1t has appeared without Interrupt
ton ever since. It's monthly issue has
been printed by the same family from
father to son for twenty-five or TWEEN
ty-eight years. For go years It's cover
was unaltered.
In this magazine appeared for the
first time the world-famous hymn
Jesus, Saviour, Pilot Me-" 1t was
written by E. Hopper, then pastor Of
the little old Church Of the Sea and
Land, its editice still standing, but al
most unknown to this generation OF
New Workers. Colonel Roosevelt's
nrst speech, made when he was a
boy, Is also recorded here. Romances
r traceable through its pages-true
stories Of adventure, heroism and
tragedy that make up the life Of the
Sea.
One such story is behind the brief
account Of the loan Libraries sent to
e by the doWager duchess of Aber-
deem after her visit to America. The
present earl Of Aberdeen, lord lieuten-
ant Of Ireland, had a brother. This
brother was the real heir to the title,
but long years ago he came to this
country from England, and shipped
from here as a common sailor under
the name Of Gordon. He rose to the
position Of mate, but shortly after
that was drowned at sea. His mother
came here and gave in his memory
the libraries that today are multiplied
and sent over the ocean to as great
a number as the funds of the society
permit.
The magazin incarnates also a his
tory of the change in the usage Of
English. 1t is a most valuable account
Of the moral tone Of the past. One
of the chaplains of the United States
navy says in an article which the
old issues hold, that he wishes they
would fog the men forward, instead
Of aft" for the reason that 1t disturbed
his evening meditations.
Probably the first account Of the
free churches in Sweden was pub
lished in the magazine. These
churches are now grown to be rivals
of the State church there.
It was started, this brave little
herald Of the sailors life, with ESQ
subscribers, all in New York city. At
the end of the first year, 1929, it had
gathered, in Boston, Philadelphia and
Charleston, s. c., 1900. Its oldest sub
scrber today is Asher Sheldon of
New Haven. Conn. who has just cele-
brated his one hundredth birthday. He
has been on the lists Of the Seamen's
society for 40 years.

Shows How careIessness Costs.

In a big store the general manager
recently instituted IA plan tending to
eliminate poor handwriting among the
Company's employees. When errors or
delays occur in getting out orders
through inability to read the order
slips he summons all clerks who have
been careless in hat respect to the
assembly room at the close of the day.
There all incorrectly and poorly writ
ten checks are flashed by a stereop.
ticon pon a large screen, and in each
instance the employees are told how
much the carelessness has cost the
store and what steps had been neces-
gary to rectify the trouble. AS al the
checks are numbered each clerk knows
when his careless work is being made
the subject Of the illustrated criticism,
and as a result few examples of care
lessness and poor writing now are in
evidence and the delivery and filing
Of orders have been greatly facilitated.

however, as to the suitability of his

he would do better next night.

MOST CRUEL or RELIGIONS
That Of the Ancient Me~leans Surely
the Most Infamous Re orded
In History. /.

The temples were called teocalli on
Gods house." and rivaled In size asl
they resembled In form the temples of.
ancient Babylon. They were pyramids
on a square or oblong base, rising in
successive terraces to a small summit
platform. The great teocalli Of HUT
~Eilopochtli in the City Of Mexico stood
in an immense square, whence radi-
ated the four principal thoroughfares,
Its courtyard being inclosed by a
square, Of which the stone wall, called
the c~oatepantli or serpent wall from
Its s~culptured serpents, measured
nearly a quarter OF a mile on each
side. In the center, the oblong pyra-
mid of rubble cased with hewn stone
and Cemented, 375x300 feet at the
base, and rising steeply in five terraces
to the height of Sc feet, showed con-
spicuously to the city the long pro-
cession Of priests and victims wind
ing along the terraces and up to cor
ner flights Of steps. On the paved plat
form were the three-stOry tower tenn
pies on whose ground floor stood the
stone images and affairs, and before
that Of the war god the green stone
of sacrifice, bumped 80 as to bend the
body Of the victim that the priest
might more easily slash open the
breast with his obsidian knife, tear
out the heart and hold it up before
the god, while the captor and his
friends were waiting below for the
carcass to be tumbled down the steps
for them to carry home to be cooked
for the feast Of victory. Before the
shrines reeking with the stencil of
slaughter, the eternal fires were kept
burning, and OF the platform stood the
huge drum, covered with snakes skins,
whose fearful sound was heard fer
miles. From the terrace could be seen
seventy or moro temples within the
Enclosure. with their images and blaz-
ing fires, and the tzompantli or skull
place" where the skulls Of victims by
tens Of thousands were skewered on
cross-stiCks or built into towers
There also might be seen the fat cir
cular temalaCatl or "spindlestone,"
where captives armed with wooden
weapons were allowed the mockery Of
a gladiatorial fight against well-armed
champions.
