William Draper Lewis, former
candidate for Governor and promi-
nent lawyer, was here yesterday on
business at the Capitol, being en-
gagged in some litigation with the
Fhiladelphia Electric Company,
which appears to be one of his di,
versions. The doctor was asked DIR
ing some very dull testimony to vary
conditions by his views on state poli-
ties. His reply was that he could
not discern much politics in the wav
some things were going.

Literary Towns.

Ontario has had. the good sense to
call one of it's towns or cities Shake
speare, and the suggestion has more
than once been made that the new fed
eral capital of the Commonwealth Of
Australia should receive the same fine
and illustrious name.
Bacon figures twice in town nomen-
clature in America, but whether it was
in compliment to the great Elizabethan,
or to the product of Chicago there is
nothing to show. In the same great
country which called its capital after
it's greatest man, Washington, there
are a large number of Millions. and al
most as many Byrons, and at least a
dozen Burnses, probably the last being
the abode of canny Scots or their de-
scendants.
There are only two Tennysons, how
ever, and the same number of Shelleys
and Keatses and Ruskins and BalZacs.
Thackeray has one town named after
him, whereas his rival and cOntem-
porary Dickens, scores three tines

Looks for World Famine.

Mr.. Egan, United States minister to
Denmark, says if the war lasts two
years longer tie whole world will be
on the verge of starvation. That is
possible. With 100000 men in arms,
Consuming and not producing, the
time is coming and is not far off when
there will be no food left. A foodless
world will be a strange experience
There have been famines but for the
people to have nothing to eat any,
where is a situation that has never
been anticipated heretofore. There is
some qualification in thinking that the
Hun will be getting hungrier than we
are and will be turning to US to bor-
row a little flour and bacon, which we
will be sure to lend him on condition
that he promises to behave himself
and let up on his kultur.-Ohio State

DIFFERING IDEAS Of GENIUS
World Has Never Thoroughly Reeoe-
nized Any One Definition Of High
Iy Priced Quality.

Carlyle was much laughed at Ios
saying that genius was an fnhnlte ca
pacity for taking pains. That does
not sound like genius; one imaglnes
genius as raveling it's hair, whatever
raveling may be, and producing the I'M
mortal Word to the accompaniment OF
epileptic fits; absinthe also goes with
genius very well. But in reality genus
I suspect, is a tanner affair and arises
easily enough in men like Rembrandt
who painted pictures because he liked
doing it and because the sitters paid
him for their portraits. Much more
satisfactorily to Carlyle it arises in
men like Flaubert, who revealed much
of his attitude in one phrase of his cor
resnondence. "Today 1 have worked
sixteen hours and have at last finished
nv page" Therein lies the difference
between Flaubert and De Maupassant;
1t NAV be, too, that Boileau was right
in advising the poet a hundred times
to replace his work upon the bench,
endlessly polish it and polish 1t again.
but many instances of almost sponta-
neous creation confronts US. 1t is
enough to quote that in six years, be-
tween 1902 and 1905 Shakespeare ap-
pears to have written eleven plays,
among them Julius Caesar" "Ham-
let" "Othello," Macbeth" and king
Lear
What shall we say, then, of the
vague thing, genius, which is to man.
kind what the thing we call soul is to
man? For my part, l believe it to be
volcanic rather than Sedimentary. 1t
is as if the spirit Of the race accumu-
lated in a creature, the spirit of life
claiming to be born. Genius will out,
but it is most frequent in certain pc
RODS of human history, such as the
Elizabethan or Medicean, in certain
places, such as France, Italy and the
low countries, under certain influences,
such as oppression, war, revolution or
social decay.
That is an interesting catalogue, and,
If history repeats itself, the future for
genius, as evidenced particularly in
art would be black, for there have been
few periods where comfort, ease and
security bred genius. 1t is as if the
plant needed something to push
against. Everyday life becomes more
secure, justice more certain, property
more assured; humanity grows fat. and
the grease of it's comfort collects round
it's heart. 1t is difficult to imagine ge-
MUS flourishing in a world perfectly
administered by city councils.-Har-
per's Magazine.

Keep Bees and Need No Sugar

The United States department Of
agriculture has started campaign to
stimulate bee-keeping, this as real
war economy measure, for honey can
take the place of sugar, and there are
absolutely unlimited supplies of honey
in the flowers that grow wild all over
the land.
Bookkeeping is very easy, and any
man who goes about it carefully and
with such elementary instructions as
he can get from the department OF
agriculture can have good crop OF
honey the first year and be able to
laugh at the scarcity of sugar, besides
making profit by the sale Of the
product of his bees.
