OF one who had played bat, trap and

corresponded with Tom Moore, de-
bated with Francis Jeffrey, and dined
with Doctor Parr; had visited Mel
rose abbey in the company of Sir Wal

Mrs. Siddons; had conversed with Ma

Homer.

Homer is an epic poet and not a his
torian, so it is quite natural that he
should have exaggerated everything
with poetic license. Moreover, the
events which he describes are so mar
velous that many scholars have long
doubted the very existence Of Troy
and have considered the city to be
mere invention of the poets fancy. /
venture to hope that the civilized
world will not only not be disappoint-
ed that the city Of Priam has shown
itself to be scarcely twentieth part
as large as was to be expected from
the statements, of the Iliad, but that
on the contrary. 1t will accept with de-
light and enthusiasm the certainty
that Ilium did really exist, that
large portion Of it has now been
brought to light and that Homer. even
although he exaggerates, nevertheless
sings of events that actually happened.

Health in Trapshootina.

The great and popular detective Of
fiction, Sherlock Holmes, once admit
ted that mans knees were the seat
of great enlightenment and from this
source. he drew many Of his deduc-
lions. He may, therefore, scrutinize
with interest trapshooter,s knees
while he is in action. Do they wab-
BILE not? He is a seasoned shooter in
good physical condition. Do they wab-
BILE? He is anxious, perhaps a little
new at the game but so happy and
willing to get that next target he cares
little whether the sun shines or the
equinoctial is on.
1t is a fascinating sport without
placing any strain on the nervous sys-
tenn, in fact, trapshooting strengthens
the nerves. 1t combines sport with
fresh air and sunshine and saves many
doctors bills. Physicians and nurses
recommend the sport as health tonic,
and If the patients follow the advice
given there will not be much need for
the physician and the nurse.-Forest

High Heels Lessen Vitality.

High heels prevail in spite of the
promise of something wiser in build
coming into popular favor. Yet, to
quote a well-known doctor: "No wo-
man pretends that she is comfortable
when wearing high heels nor can she
hope to be graceful when wearing
them, for the body is thrown out Of
poise and the action Of the feet is re-
stricted. More serious than her awk-
wardness is the eventual injury to her
health. For in the effort to preserve
her equilibrium the shoulders are
thrown forward. depressing the chest;
breathing is interfered with, and that
means poorer blood and final de-
crease in vitality. This comes grad
ually, but it is Inevitable when a wo-
man persists in wearing very high
heels. Her heels should conform to
the arch If her instsp."-Exchange.

NATIONAL HEROES OF FRANCE
Lazare Hoche and Ferdinand Foch
Are Names to Be Forever Held
In Grateful Memory.

Marshal Foch is taking particular
satisfaction at this time of the con-
summation Of great victory to pay
homage to the fame of Lazare Hoche,
the famous young general who escaped
the Revolutionary guillotine eventual
ly to command that army of the Sam
bre-et-Meuse which, though at first
disorganized, badly fed and badly
equipped, performed the brilliant seven
months campaign which established
the reputation of French arms on both
sides Of the Rhine. To this day at
Weissenthurm stands q monument to
its memory and that of its brilliant
young chief. No wonder Marshal Foch
takes pleasure in recalling Lazare
Hoche to his countrymen. OF Hoche
it is said that he once proudly wrote
to the minister for war of his day,
"Je suis la patrie." The French of
the present century would throw up
their hats at such sentiment as en-
Enthusiastically as the contemporaries of
Hoche and Rouget de Lisle. With the
great mass of them, though they do
not perhaps express it so tersely, Foch
is '1a patrie" in the sense that he GER
tainly stands for them as ia victoire"
personified.

HAVE TO SEARCH FOR POET
Great Mind by No Means Easy to Find,
and Some Can Never Dis
cover Him. ~ '@

There was once small but mighty
nation, now numerous as the sands of
the seashOre. and no longer so inter-
esting. To this nation was born a
poet, and they made him the poet of
all time. They took him and taught
him all they knew-and they had
great things. to teach; and when, at
their command, he made great dramas,
they stood at his elbow; and every
thing they gave him he gave back to
them tenfold.
England was then Shakespeare's
land.
The poet is always amongst us; the
difficulty is how to find him; he is like
the proverbial needle in bundle of
hay.
But one thing is certain-logicians
without love will not find him; they
leave desolation, and call 1t peace
nay, they call 1t culture. Critics of
this sort will allow nothing to exist
except themselves. No; I am wrong.
There is one thing they admire more
even than themselves-the fait ac-
compli mundane success. - John
Butler Yeats.

LIKE THE. BOOK OF GENESIS
Description of Flood of Time of Noah
Found Among Ancient Records
of ChaIdea.

Perhaps the tracing of the story Of
the book. of Genesis is the true fas-
cination that Mesopotamia has for
those who have time to read. The
great boats of the Euphrates have the
Identical lines of the toy ark that can
be bought in London. Where a pent
roof has been added for our purposes
the two are one in shape. A Eu-
pirates 'bellum" arranged as a sick
barge is the toy ark of childhood. Is
that toy ark an authentic tradition in
Its shape? 1t is almost certain to be.
The Euphrates boats are pitched in
side and out with pitch. as was that
ark. In these same bellums, some as
large as 20 tons, we may find British
batteries sailing the Euphrates and a
modified menagerie could easily walk
on board. One more suggestion Of
the toy shop tradition strikes the cas-
ual observer. The tribespeopIe from
the hills who work on the Tigris and
Euphrates wear high black felt hats,
topper without brim. Are Mr..
and Mrs. Noah really correctly
dressed? ~ " 4
Then on top of the discovery of the
ark comes the more serious reading
of parallel version of the Bible
story of the flood found in the cunei-
form in Layard's tablets from the
Royal library of Ashurabanipal at
Nineveh, copied or collected possibly
from Sargon's library at Accade or
Erech, older than Ashurabanipal by
perhaps 1880 years. Were the stories
of Genesis the household stories of
1000 years ago? 1t would
seem so, when from Babylon is I'M
earthed a seal with the representa-
ton of the temptation, Adam and
