pecially in Germany, France, Belgium
and Italy, superficial observers and
shallow thinkers have jumped at the
conclusion that the old faith in creeds
and artificial dogmas has again found
its place. Nothing could be farthe,
from the truth In the minds of those
who have never accepted liberal
Christianity, the immanence of death.
the ravages of war and a general dis
location of social standards naturally
have induced a serious, unusual mood,
and the revival of religious beliefs
which were lying quiescent.
For the time, controversy seems
trifling and puerile. Thoughts of God
and Immortality survive. But the in
telligent and intellectual believer is
where he was before; the emotional
himself is only upon wave that must
subside again.
As an evidence of what is appar-
entity a much-desired wish, writer
cites the vogue of Billy Sunday and
the return" of B. Fay Mills. Now
Billy Sundays usefulness demon:
strates that he is much needed to prod
sleepy churches into life. No wide.
awake, saggressive church needs or
will have him. In extreme cases he
may serve a doubtful good among
class who could be aroused to higher
purpose by the beating of drums, a
uniform, and emotional accessories OF
the sort
And B. Fay Mills is only resting for
while on the route of his weary cir.
Gle. Tossed by the wind and wave of
a restless soul, he left orthodoxy for
theosophy, Buddhism, and other isms;
borrowed some Unitarian doctrine:
waded into half-baked osophies Of
various kinds, and finally organized
an independent church.
He has been shifting like sand,
never in one place long.
When I heard him in Riverside first
he was reviyalist of the old variety
Later in Boston he had discarded the
Bible, was preaching from the popular
novel and had an orchestra on the
platform with him playing secular
pieces. ..-
Ever spectacular and sensational he
never found satisfaction in cold Uni
tarianism."
Now, as the electromagnetic says
he is back to the place of beginning
May he find a peace there he has new.

PER CAPITA STREET
 TAX TO BE FOUGHT
Suit to Enjoin Enforcement of Ordi. nance, Imposing Tax of $3. Will
 Be Instituted.

That suit would be filed this week to enjoin the enforcement of the ordinance imposing a per capita tax of $3, in lieu of three days work on the streets, upon all male residents between the ages of 21 and A years. was the announcement made yester- day. The action, if taken, will be in the name of w. B. Sorrells, former alderman, who is acting as the attor- ney for those opposed to the tax.
 The ordinance was enacted in or der to secure funds for street work. and was said to be necessary in order to offset the loss in revenue due to the prohibition law. One reason for a per capita tax was to put share of the governmental expense upon hun- dreds of persons who pay no other taxes.
 The validity of the ordinance will be attacked upon the ground that it is discriminatory, and not in accord with the state constitution which pro- vides for tax on males of from IS to 4o years of age.

American Literature.

If one were asked what is the dom- inant tone in American literature and life, the answer would be youthful ness;' but this youth has attained all the vices of age, and has conserved a few of the charms proper to it's period. It is very disingenuous youth indeed. This insistence on 'boyish- ness is unhealthy; more, it is de- prayed. These boyish boys and girl ish girls of the writer and the artist are the Indications of a real cancer in American public life. Perhaps in portrayiug them the writers and illus trators are describing something which is as true as it is detestable. The cult of youthfulness in America is a national calamity, far graver than anything for which Europe has to mourn. Youth mas nothing to give life but it's energy; it has even less to give literature, for literature is an expression of the spiritual truth which runs parallel with every mate rial experience. It is not the retail ing of petty gossip about petty peo, pie; and when this youthful energy is divorced from the control of ma turity nobody can benefit from 1t ex' cept the middle-aged woman for whom American literature is now be- ing written. ."-James Stephens in the Century.

Some Anachronisms.

It Is a question, parenthetically, whether it is truly spOrtsmanlike to live in quaint old colonial cottage with furnace and electric lights. have heard amateurs of the colonial declare that they would willingly die before they would live in an electrically lighted colonial cottage. The anach- ronism horrifies them: they would have death or candles. Probably they feel the same way about a furnace and a bathroom. Yet have no doubt that the builders of this colonial cottage would have opened their hearts to all these 1nventions and I am not sure that they would have regarded as anything but funny the idea that their own kitchen paraphernalia would some day be used to decorate my dining room go further Granting that electric light, furnace, and bath room are anachronisms ill this quaint old colonial cottage-what am l but an anaclronism myself? We must stand together, the furnace, the cleo trio meter, the porcelain bathtub, and I, and keep each other in countenance From the Atlantic.

maonesja in Sea sheIis.

Wd3uC0u0 0SN S'S'~'
 Chemical analysis of starfishes, sea urchins and crinoids, collected from all parts of the world, show that the skeletons of these animals contain much magnesia. The amount present Is found to vary with the temperature of the water in which the creatures lived. The percentage of magnesia IS highest in those specimens that lived In tropical waters and lowest in forms from the icy seas af Greenland and the Antarctic, with regular grada' ton between which even shows the local effect of cold ocean currents upon life at the sea bottom. The in vestigations suggest that the skeie tons of these animals have the compo sition of the manganese limestone, or dolomite, and it is possible that they furnish clues not only as to the climatic conditions under which limestones are now formed, but also as to the temperatures of the oceans in different regions of the earth where. during different periods of geologic history, great deposits of magnetism limestone were formed.

Why ,Joseph Was Sad.

Forlorn little Joseph had called upon me with crumpled note which he re- luctantly dragged from pocket It was from the admitting agent of an orphan age. explaining that Joseph could not be taken into the institution until his head was "cured;" and it gave some details regarding the family, the worthiness of the mother, and her ex- ceeding poverty. The agent hoped that I might relieve her by expediting Joseph's admission. I tried to make the child's daily visit to me interest ing. The treatment was not painful, but the end of each visit-he came with patient regularity every day left me as dolorous as himself. One day I tried by promise of a present or any treat he fancied, to bring out some expression of youthful spirit all unavailingly. "But you must wish for something" I urged; "I never knew boy who didn't. For the first time the silent little lad showed en- thusiasm. 'I wish you wouldn't cure my head, so I needn't go to the orphan asylum" Lillian w. Wald, in the At lantic.-

TEUTONS TO WARSAW,
Taking Two Mere Przemys. Forts,
 Start to Polish Capital.

London, June 1.-Two more of the northern Notifications of Przemysl nave fallen into the hands of the Austro-G Germans, and new drive on Warsaw has begun.
 Dispatches, both official and pri- vate, fro mBerlin and Vienna, report the capture of the additional fortifi- cations on the northern front of the fortress. The battle, not only on this sector, but all around the strong hold. continues with tremendous fury

 Renewed German attacks on the BZura Rawka front, heralded by the locslng of cloud of poisonous gases such as never before were witnessed, are believed to be the prelude of a new drive on Warsaw.
 The Germans have been taking things practically into their OWL hands along the entire eastern front, unofficial dispatches say, and it is believed that large numbers of Aus trian troops are to be released to prosecute the war against Italy.
 The German activity before War saw was first mentioned in the Pet rograd statement issued today This stated that the gas fumes literally obscured the Russian front for mlles the odor being perc9 ptible 20 miles from the front. A heavy cannonade and infantry attacks were made simultaneously, but the Russians claim the Germans failed to gain.
 A dispatch from Warsaw today states that a German aeroplane drop ped bombs there, one of which fell through the roof of moving picture theatre, killing six and wounded 9 others.
 Berlin reports further successes on the Baltic and in the far north Minor Russian divisions, the German war office states, were defeated at Neuhausen, about 30 miles northeast Of Libau, and at Shidiki, about 40 miles southeast of that city.
 Berlin also reports successes along the Dubissa

Opportunities. s.

n our indiyidual life there come opportunities, which we may miss be- cause>sNe have such false standards by which we judge things. We wait for the great event and for the great oc- casion, and We call that great which makes big splash in the world. Or, when the trial comes we shrink from it through false modesty, saying to ourselves that some other more worthy instrument should be chosen. If our general attitude were right, we would see the meaning of,all that is called opportunity. We are not alive tc ths gracious possibilities of the unregard. ed chances of every day. We need a more solemn sense of responsibility, a more serious view of the ever-con- stant iunctures that occur.-Hugh Black.
