MUsIc's UNIQUE QUALITY.

Wherein II Differs From Sculpture,
Poetry and Painting.
Music finds its perfection In itself
without relation to other objects. 1t
is what it is in itself alone. It is nom
definitive; it does not use symbols of
something else; it cannot be translated
into other terms.
The poet seeks always a complete
union of the thing said and the method
Of saying it. Flaubert seeks patiently
and persistently for the one word
which shall not only be the exact SYM
Dol of his thought, but which shall At
his euphony. ....-
The painter so draws his objects, so
distributes his colors and so arranges
his composition as to make Of them
plastic mediums for the expression Of
his thought, and the greatness Of his
picture depends first Of all and inevi-
tably on his power Of fusing his SUBJ
jects with his technique.
In sculpture precisely the same pro
cess takes place. Neither Of these arts
actually copies nature. Each ar.
ranges" it for its own purpose.
In music this much sought union Of
matter and manner is complete. The
thing said and the method Of saying II
are one and indivisible. 1t is, as Pater
says, "the ideal of all art whatever,
precisely because in music 1t is i'm
possible to distinguish the form from
the substance or matter. the subject
from the ression."-Atlantic.

Never at any time was there sue-
gestion that a French or an English SOL
der should enter Belgium unless to pre-
vent the abolition of her neutrality which

The Will to War a.3 49,.
IAN efforts to avoid war in 1914 failed
because you cannot have peace without
good will. and because in Germany there
was a will to war and not the will to
peace. But lately the crown prince de-
plored the loss of life caused by this
war. Yes. yes. it was because we knew
what the sufferings of war must be and
how terrible war in, Europe would be
that we tried to avoid it in 1914. That
was the time to be penetrated with a
sense Of what war meant. 1t, was be-
cause we knew what it meant that we
tried to avoid war, and because we have
this experience of what war does mean
that we are determined that the war
shall not end until we can be sure at any
rate that the generations and the nations
In the future shall not be subjected to
such terrible trial again..

Boorisb and UrbanO,

When we speak Of person as 'boor-
ish" we mean that he Is rude, Ill bred
and uncouth. We seldom stop to think
that the word originally meant moth
ing more than rustic" Boor is the
same word as the German bauer"
and the Dutch "boer," signifying -
antry are alluded to in an uncompli-
mentary way by the history Of this
and many other words in the Ian
guage. Heather" and pagan" meant
simply country bred" and "village
bred" once upon time. Culture and
the higher civilized virtues were
thought Of as originating in towns and
making their way slowly, If at all, to
the rural districts. So we have as an
antonym to "boorish" the word ''ur-
bane"-which originally meant city.
fied."-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Thinks Poison
Cause Of Death
Edward {. Swan
County Attorney and Medical
Examiner Begin Investigation
of Mysterious Death of Hollis
Center Mill Operator

Hollis Center, Me-. Oct. 2s.-With the
arrival here today Of County Attorney
Hiram Willard, the investigation In
the death mystery of Edward c. Swan.
the mill operator. whose body was
found in Cooks brook, near the Brad
bury box shop Saturday forenoon, was
commenced. County Attorney Willard
with Medical Examiner Robert L.
Maybury of Saco this afternoon visit
ed the plant where Swan had been ems
ployed and questioned the foreman, F.
w. Trip, who found Swans body in
the brook, as well as several other en-
ployes Of the mill. To a reporter Medi-
cal Examiner Maybury said:
Il am convinced that Swan was
not drowned and am also convinced his
death was not caused by heart failure.
While I have not sent the stomach to
Bowdoin. probably will do SO after
County Attorney Willard and myself
have completed our investigation here
today"
The medical examiner said that
while he could not say for certain un-
til Swans stomach had been analysed,
he was under the impression that the
man had died from arsenic or cyanide
poisoning and he expressed the opin-.
ion that if arsenic had caused his death
the natural thing for him to do would
be to go near the water.
According to relatives and the wife OF
the man whose body was found. no rea-
son can be seen for Swan to take his
own life. Only three weeks ago he had
bought a new house only short dis
tance from the plant where he was en-
ployed, and had already talked over
plans with his wife about having the
house wired for electricity and other
improvements made. When he left his
home Saturday morning to go to work
he seemed in the best of spirits and
made great deal of the children. one
of which is two years old and the other
a babe of only eight months. The men
at the mill say that Swan had COM
planned of not feeling we'll for two or
three days prior to Saturday. 1t was
about 10 o'clock Saturday forenoon when
he told Foreman F. w. Trip that he
was going to the lower part of the mill
to shovel away some of the sawdust
there. A short time later Trip went
to the sawdust pile. but could find no
trace Of Swan.
1t was then he learned that the fire.
man of the factory had seen Swan on
the high embankment overlooking the
brook about so yards from the box
factory. Trip thought at the time
that Swan had become ill and had gone
to his home and so went there to look
for him. but Swan had not arrived
there. He returned to the plant again
and looking down the embankment to
the brook a distance of so feet. he saw
what he believed to be an oil barrel
floating on the surface. With other
men he went to the shore and there
found Swans body lying over a rock
in the stream. There were footprints
on the shore which indicated that the
man had not fallen over the embank-
ment and it Is s. thought he simply
waded into the water and fell over the
rock when he was overcome by what
people here believe to be some sort of
poisoning.

warding of goods coming from the

unloaded in British ports and can be
brought by British traders if forward
