NOT GOOD JUDGE OF POETRY
One Explanation for Napoleon's Pecu.
liar Worship at Shrine Of Second
Rate Writer of Verse.

The curious Partially which Napo-
leon showed for the poems Of Ossian,
particularly "Tem0ra," puzzled his
contemporaries, as it since has his bi.
osraphers, says the Christian Science
Monitor. 1t is related that he carried
beautifully bound copy Of Ossian
with him to Egypt. and that on being
read passages OF the Odyssey by the
poet Arnault, while on board ship, he
contemptuously exclaimed: You call
that sublime. What a difference be-
tween your Homer and my Ossian,"
and, reading some passages from "Te.
mora he said, This is grand and
sentimental and sublime! Ossian Is n
poet Homer mere drivel." NapoIeon's
preference for the works Of the mys-
terry poet of the North continued
throughout his life. He was reading
Ossian in 1897. and well-thumbed
copy was among his books ut st. He
lena. There have been many expana.
tons given for 50 strange n literary
preference. The Countess de Montho.
Ion unkindly remarks that Napoleon
was VIGOROUSLY deficient in his sense
'f rhythm and that therefore poetry
which was not poetry at all as far as
form went, for he read Ossian ia
French prose, suited him very nicely.

GREAT MASTER OF THOUGHT
influence Of Aristotle on the Minds Of
Men Has Been for Two Thousand
Years Supreme.

Aristotle was the most famous and
influential of the Greek philosophers.
He was born 3S4 Il. c. and died in 322
Il. {. In the history of western civill-
zatlon there is no example of any 9th
or philosopher having eXerted SO great
and 50 permanent an influence on the
nindSsof men as Aristotle. For nearly
1000 years his authority was not only
predominant, but almost despotic, In
all countries where the light of learn
Ing had penetrated. During the dark
ages when little attention was paid
to learning, even in the most favored
portions Of Christian Europe, the
philosophy Of Aristotle was encourag-
ed and his works diligently studied in
the Moslem capitals of Bagdad and
Cord0va. On the revival of letters in
Italy and other parts Of Europe, Arts
totle reigned for II time in the schools
Without rival.
After the reformation his influence
A~'''"S'"' anu loi heuilH -Vo Sedi
after the time of Bacon the works of
Aristotle were almost universally neg
leeted among the learned in Europe.
Toward the close of the last century
however, attention was again directed
TO them. His true position in the realm
| OF intellect IS admitted to be fully
equal, If not superior, to that Of any
| other of the great masters of thought
| that the world has ever seen.
