CHAPTER XII.

The second year of a new order brings fewer radical changes than the first. Samson's work began to forge out of the ranks of the ordinary and to show symptoms of quality which would some day give it distinction. Heretofore his instructors had held him rigidly to the limitations of black and white but now they took off the bonds and permitted him the colorfu delight of attempting to express him self from the palette. It was like per hitting a natural poet to leave prose and play with prosody.
 One day Adrienne looked up from a sheaf of his very creditable landscape studies to inquire suddenly:
 Samson, are you rich man or a poor one?"
 He laughed. "So rich," he told her. that unless can turn some of this stuff into money within year or two I shali have to go back to hoeing corn"
 She nodded gravely.
 Hasn't it occurred to you," she demanded, that in a way you are wasting your gifts? They were talk ing about you the other evening-sev- eral painters. They all said that you should be doing portraits"
 The Kentuekian smiled His mas. ters had been telling him the same thing. He had fallen in love with art through the appaa, of the skies and hills. He had followed It's ca1 at the proselyting of George Lescott, who painted only landscape. Portraiture seemed less artistic form of expres- sion. He said so.
 That may all be very true," she conceded. but you can go on with your landscapes and let your DOT traits pay the way. And" she added, since I am very vain and moderately rich, I hereby commission you to paint me, just as soon as you learn how"
 Farbish had simply dropped out. Bit by bit the truth of the conspiracy had leaked, and he knew that his useful

Ianan First with Japansss.

Every Japanese is a japanese first,
whatever else he may be second. In
this unified patriotism they are incom-
parable. 1t extends even to the minor
affairs Of life. There is no japanese,
Of high or low degree, who will admit
any fault OF his country to a.fOreigner,
however strict his censure may be
when talking to his friends. If there
are faults the japanese conceal them
They never volunteer any information
as to drawbacks, and they always have
an excuse for failures No condition
can arise in Japan whereby a foreigner
can learn from a japanese Of anything
to the detriment Of the country. The
statesmen will not tell you anything.
The coolies will not tell you anything.
They are units Of concealment They
put the good face on everything. 1t Is
Japan first with them. Japan first al
ways, and always a super-Japan.-Sam-

1t is difficult to realize the caIlous-

the peninsula. One evening at dinner

away a large number Of sick soldiers

Carr Of the Mouth.

The use OF a tooth wash does not
approach the conditions OF a laboratory
test. though there can be little doubt
thata good deal Of germicidal work In
the mouth is done by the vigorous ap-
plIcation OF the toothbrush, and IT may
be pointed out that the tongue may
well be included In the process. To be
effective, however. the action OF all an
tiseptics takes time. according to the
vitality OF the organisms they encOunt-
er, and usually the tooth brushing
process does not occupy many seconds.
This question OF time exposure Is i'm
portant, but 1t is very generally over
looked and consequently the antiseptic
treatment OF the teeth falls short Of
that effectiveness which Is shown to
be the case In laboratory experiments.
The tooth washing process should be
more prolonged and the antiseptic wash
allowed to remain in contact with the
teeth and gums for some minutes In
stead Of seconds before finally washing
the mouth clear OF antiseptic with
plain water.-London lancet

Tn. Darkness Before Dawn.

1t is proverbial that ''the darkest
hour precedes the dawn" W. F. Den
ming. the English authority on me-
teors, has recently called attention to
the literal accuracy Of this proyerb, as
established by his own observations
on thousands OF nights. he says:
Before dawn greater darkness
seems to drop down like mantle upon
the immediate surroundings. Objects
which were plainly observable during
the previous hours OF the night are
blotted out. and a nervous feeling Is
sometimes induced by the dense opac-
fly OF the air"
he claims to have noticed this
phenomenon when the subject was far
from his thoughts. so that it could not
have been purely subjective. He Is
unable to state the exact interval be
fore sunrise when the remarkable dark
ness comes on nor whether It is COM
mon TO each season and sky conditions.

Many persons are under the impress

tive plants worthy Of cultivation in the
home garden They have been accus-
toned to look upon them as weeds and
wild things, and so unfamiliar are they
with native flowers that they fail to
recognize them when they meet them
outside their native haunts. A writer
tells how he transplanted a stalk OF
goldenrod from a fence corner In the
pasture to a place in his garden. 1t
fourished luxuriantly and sent up
many stalks as high as a mans head,
each crowned with great plume Of
brilliant flowers. A neighbOr was at
tracted by the beauty Of the plant and
declared 1t must have cost its owner
some dollars. When told, however,
that numbers Of the same plant were
fiourishing behind his barn he exclaim-
ed: "Whatl You mean to tell me it's

In his biography OF Tagore:
Mr.. Montague. the undersecretary
Of state for India. was on one occasion
riding through an Indian forest at
night when be came upon a clearing
where two or three men sat around the
fire. Not being certain Of the road,
says Mr.. Rhys, he was glad to dis
mount and rest his tired horse. Shortly
after he had joined the group a poor
looking. I'll clothed lad came out Of the
forest and sat down also at the fire.
First enc OF the men sang a song and
then another. The boys turn came.
and he sang a song more beautiful both
in words and music than the rest.
When asked who had made the song
he said that he did not know. they
were singing these songs everywhere
Awhile after Mr.. Montague heard the
words that he had used again. this
time In a very different place, and
when he asked for the name Of the
maker Of the song he heard for the
first time the name OF Rabindranath
