Tradition and Good Books.

Good books. like weil-buiit houses,
must have tradition behind them. The
Homers and Shakespeares and Goethes
spring from rich soil left by dead Gem
turtes: they are like native trees that
grow so well nowhere else, says Henry
Seidel Candy In the Yale Review. The
little writers-hacks who sentimental
lie to the latest order, and display
their plot novelties like bargains on an
advertising page-are Just as tradI-
tional. The only difference Is that
their tradition goes back to books In
etead Of life. Middle-siEed authors
the very good and the probably endur-
ing-are successful largely because
they have gripped tradition and fol-
lowed 1t through to contemporary life.
This Ia what Thackeray did in vanity
Fair" Howells In 1.-THE Rise Of Silas
lapham." and Mrs Wharton tn The
House Of Mirth." But back-to-nature
books-both the sound ones ana those
shameless exposures Of the private
emotions Of groundhogs and turtles
that call themselves nature books
are the most traditional Of all, for
they plunge directly into what might
be cattst rhe adventures Of the Ameri-
can sub-conscious.

How to light fire without matches
Is an important part Of the training
given to United States Marines at
Port Royal, s. G. The primitive flint
and steel, used long ago by our fore
cc.....zssfx, and the old wooden frfc-
ton" method borrowed from the In
dams have been revived. so that the
sea soldiers may dispense with
matches when dampness renders them
useless.
! United States Marines In the tropics
can start FIRE almost instantly by
using a hollow piece Of bamboo. This
rs done by Sitting the bamboo, stuff
Ing It with dry moss, and drawing a
stick to and fro across 1t as vioiinist

boo in France.

Burne-Jones and Sw1nburne, and OF
every artistic and literary notability
of his day.
Perhaps he had gypsy blood as well

forbears. Be that as 1t may, he went

Ions became a pavement artist, beg
