Tradition and Good Books.

Good books, like well-built houses,
must have tradition behind them. The
Homers and Shakespeares and Goethes
spring from rich soil left by dead CEN
turies; 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
ize to the latest order, and display
their plot novelties like bargains on an
advertising page-are just as tradl-
tlonal. The only difference is that
their tradition goes back to books in
stead of life. Middle-sized 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 Is what Thackeray did in vanity
Fair" Howells In 1.-THE Rise of Silas
Lapham," and Mrs. Wharton In "The
House of Mirth." But back-to-nature
books-both the sound ones and 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 called the adventures of the Amerl-
can sub-consciOus.

MAN IS TAKEN AT OWN VALUE

ried Too Far.

Humility is called virtue. 1t Is SO
unless carried too far. A man is u.s.
ually taken at his own value. If he
makes too little of himself, he Is like
ly to be thought of little worth. The
unduly humble man will lack the
strength Of character needed for sue
cess. He will have little influence In
society and will not be fitted to hold
responsible position.
While too great opinion Of one
self stands in the way of progress, too
great humility Is worse says the Mil
waukee Journal. Conceit receives
many knocks In life and may be taken
out Of man; too much humility sell
dom receives the needed encourage
ment. Conceit in a child is soon cor
rected when he comes to mingling
with other children in schools. Too
great humility gives his SchoOlmates
a chance to put upon him and treat
him as an inferior-a chance which
will seldom be neglected. A child may
become crippled in spirit for life In
this way. Even teachers sometimes
fail to see what Is the trouble with the
child and to give him the encourage
ment he needs. Beware Of breaking
down child's self-contidence. 1rrepa-
rable injury may thus be done him.
Train him to feel that he Is of value
and is able to do what there Is for
him to do. Think we'll Of yourself If

GENIUS IN GUTTER
Great Artist Made Drawings on
!, Pavement for Pennies.
Many Famous Writers Spent the Later
Years Of Their Life and Died
In AbJect Poverty.

It has sometimes been said that 1t Is
mediocrity that makes money, and
while this may not be true, it Is GER
tain that genius Is not unacquainted
with the gutter, observes writer In
London Tit-Bits. Everybody knows
that Francis Thompson, the poet, sold
matches on Ludgate hill among the
venders of penny toys, and that James
Thompson, the author Of the "City of
Dreadful Night" made his regular dor
mitory the Thames embankment. No
wonder he found so apt title for his
masterpiece!
One of the most tragical instances Of
genius in the gutter Is presented by
Simeon Solomon, the pre-Raphaelite
artist, friend and comrade Of Rosetti,
Burne-Jones and Swinburne, and Of
every artistic and literary notabillty
of his day.
Perhaps he had gypsy blood as well
as Jewish blood In his veins, or inher-
tied some wild strain from nomadic
forbears. Be that as 1t may, he went
exhibited In all the galleries and sa-
Ions became a pavement artist, beg
ging pennies for crude chalk drawings
on the flagstones! And he was fall
ure at 1t. Many man born and bred
to 1t could beat his head off. He died
in the workhouse.
Stephen Phillips, the poet and
dramatist, who wrote "Paolo and Fran
cesco" for Sir George Alexander, who
staged 1t lavishly, and "Herod' for Sir
Herbert Tree, who staged 1t gorgeous
ly, and who was poet of universal re-
nown, died quite lately, leaving only
the sum of f5. He was never actually
in the gutter, but he must have been
occasionally over the poverty line.
Paul Verlaine the Partisan poet,
woke up one night to find couple OF
burglars in his room. Shortly before
he had been driven by poverty to sell
every stick Of furniture, and was re-
duced to sleeping on sack. His WIS.,
itors were so touched by this evidence
Of his dire poverty that they gave him
a franc apiece and took their depart
ure.
Goldsmith lived In slum for years,
and had often not silver to bless
himself with. He would perforce spend
days together in bed, afraid to stir out
on account of the bailiffs.
If st. James square could tell its
story 1t would reveal Samuel Johnson,
the sage of Fleet street, walking round
and round, with the prince of literary
vagabonds, Richard Savage, talking
the night away, because neither of
them could raise the price of nights
lodging! So, though things are in
finitely better than they were, it is
evident that the eighteenth century
had not the only Grub street, and that
1t Is still possible to combine poverty
and genius.

CAN LIVE WITHOUT EATING
AVERAGE Man, If He Has Water to
Drink, Is Able to Exist for About
Thirty Days Without Food.

If there were siege, how long do
you think the soldiers and civilians
could live after the food supplies gave
out?
Science tells us that II he can get
drinking water, an ordinary man can
exist for about thirty days without
food. At the end Of that time the
machinery of the body will not be
spoiled, and can be entirely strength
ened back to it's old standard by care
full feeding.
About one-quarter Of our body
weight is fat, and it Is mostly this fat
which is absorbed as food during the
period of starvation.
We can absorb and burn up our
muscles until 60 per cent Of their
weight has gone. We can do the same
with from 30 to 40 per cent Of our
livers and digestive organs, and 20 per
cent of our lungs. Our hearts can lose
10 per cent and our brains and nerv-
Gus systems can lose per cent.
1t will thus be seen that the more
vital organs, brain and heart, yield
least of their valuable substances; fat,
muscles and so on are consumed first.

Locks in Ancient DAYS,

The Greeks used an iron latch to
fasten their doors. This latch was
fastened by u key which was easily ap-
piled from within, but, to reach it from
without, large hole was made In the
door allowing the hand to enter and
reach the lock with the key. The
Lacedaemonian lock, which was Ia
ter invention, did not require hole to
be made In the door, but consisted Of
q bolt placed on that side of the en-
trance door which opened. When a
person outside wished to enter he In
serted key In a little hole and raised
the bolt. In time this kind of fasten-
ing was improved by the insertion OF
the bolt in an iron frame or rim per-
manently attached to the door by q
chain.
Heavy and intricate iron locks dis
covered at Pompeii give evidence OF
the progress made in the art by the
Romans. These locks were much more
efficient than any known to the Greeks,
but inferior in principle to the older
wooden Egyptian locks.

"Well !" exclaimed Dorr Indignantly.
"Have you got me here just to repeat

What do you think I've been doing

thing" answered Colt.
"Well, didn't you expect that? You
didn't suppose that everything was
going to run like creased lightning,
and that everything you said went
without opposition?"
"No, of course not. But / see now
how much Of loss this would be to
the city, and want to propose a diff
ferent route, and different terms for
the appropriation"
Dorr looked away very much as a
cat does when she allows a mouse to
stray few inches from her claws,
then he turned the small cruel eyes
on Colt.
"You've allowed the deal to go on,
as you promised. Things have got
along too far for you to back down

"Now look here, Colt; do you take

Colt evidently did understand that
anything like compromise was hope
less.
"Yes,' he said looking the man
squarely in the eye. II think l do un-
derstand that you mean to put over
about the biggest, most internal grab
from this town that ever happened.

Food Conservation.

She was of the stage. That was
plain. For she had certain curls, GER
tain hues of cheek, and certain looks
of the eye which told this story. Then,
tOo she had dog, which sat behind
her chair, as she ate her meal, brought
from the bread line which passes the
steam tables.
Oscar-why call all dogs Fido?-sat
behind the chair and waited very pa
tiently. He evidently was trained.
Then, suddenly he was waited upon.
There dropped from above, where the
debris had been carefully collected and
placed in a piece of paper, quite a

ously gorged 1t down.
Then, led by his mistress, he left the

usual had happened.

And" he added, II don't think I'm 60
ing to let you do It,"
For one instant DOrr was silent.
Then he looked at Colt with a cool
smile of triumph.
"Oh, yes, you are" he said. "You're
just wasting your breath. I'm going
now. You'd better call me up about
nine tonight at my home, and say it's
all o. X. If you don't your grill will
be red hot tomorrow morning. l can

DOrr left the room, and Colt stood
firm, erect and calm till the door had
closed, and the heavy footsteps echoed
down the hall; then he sank down
with grOan, burying his face in his
hands like one beaten, crushed. After
time he rose and hastened home
knowing he was past the dinner hour
and his wife would be waiting.
Dora met him with the tender sym
pathetic smile that meant so much to
him. But she noticed the more than
usual worn look, his face was pale and
drawn, he seemed to have aged five
years since morning. He scarcely
touched the meal, and as soon as she
had him comfortably bestowed In an
easy chair, she came to him, drew his
head against her breast, as she sat
on the arm of the chair, and said:
"Howard, dear I've never asked ques-
tons, thinking I might only bother
yOu-but tonight 1 can see there's
something worse than usual. l want
to help-I must help you. You must

"Dora ~ he grOaned, "Im fighting an

"Disgrace?" she repeated in dazed
way. Howard! how could it be dis

"You know this traction grab"
"Yes," she broke in. II have won

"Of course-of course. Do you sup

The rites of death and burial are
very curious. When chief or other in
fluental member Of tribe dies his
body Is fastened to stake and ex-
posed to the attacks Of beasts and
birds In the belief that all the evil
parts of his body will be consumed.
After that, what remains Is cremated
and the ashes placed In magic bowls
mixed with charms and portions to be
used as medicines.
The most disreputable quarter Of
Lhasa, the capital Of Tibet, Is occupied
by the famous tribe of Ragyabas, or
beggar scavengers, the men whose re-
pulsive occupation is to break up the
bodies of the dead. A more brutal
lied type Of humanity cannot be imag.

naked, clothed In obscene rags, these
people live in houses unfit to house a
