THE MARROW OF LIFE"

When Pierre Lott was in this coun-

dency to aloofness from the shams
and turmoils Of great cities. the in

of modern ways of living. Since then
we have happened on the words of
New England philosopher and ma
ture worshiper who, long before Lott,
turned his back on towns. Henry ID.
Thoreau wrote:

ed to live deliberately. / wanted to
live deep and suck out all the marrow
Of life. to live so sturdily and Spartan
like as to put to rout all that was

Our life is fritted away by detail.

three. and not hundred or thou

dozen and keep your accounts on

chopping sea of civilized life, such are
the clouds and storms and quicksands

allowed for, that man has to live, II

Thoreau and Lott are little alike,
But they both revolt against the
sQuirrel-cage life which thunders
along so furiously that 1t destroys the
art Of living. The man who really
wishes to get the most out Of life

Breathing Microbes.

some surprising statements concern
ing the quality Of air that Londoners
are compelled to breathe. For every
microbe that you find in mid-ocean
air you find $4,000 in the atmosphere
of The four-mile radius. Among the
mountains, you inhale with every Gu
bic inch of air $1,000 particles; in
London, 1O,000,000.
