Importing Sernaphores

CLARENCE BURLINGTON KELLAND
does not devote all his time to lit
erature. In his spare moments he is
president of a company which manu-
features wooden articles-a business
which requires good deal of moving,
for the factories must follow the re-
ceding forests, and, more often than
not, are set up in some backwoods
hamlet. Mr.. Kelland tells of one New
England settlement of about 400 in
habitants which the coming of one of
his plants impressed with q rather
exaggerated idea Of its own impor-
lance. So much so, in fact, that the
town councillors decided to send man
to New York to find out what other
big centers Of trade were doing in the
way of municipal Improvement. This
investigator was much impressed by
the traffic semaphores, with the "Stop'
and Go" signs used on Fifth Avenue.
He secured one, and on his return rec
commended that it be set up at the
village crossroads. This was done and
the proud inhabitants voted a special
assessment to provide uniform for
its discoverer, who was thereupon as
signed the duty Of directing theft traf-
fic. All went we'll until a farmer from
an outlying district mistook the symbol
Of civic progress for a newfangled
hitching post and was chased out of
town by the outraged inhabitants.

lenges, which the Harpers published
recently, has gone into another large
edition.

cially as compared with the standards
which prevailed among the European
peasants at that time. A large class
Of independent farmers, the yeomanry,
came into existence. Many of the
serfs and 'tantndsmen transformed them
selves into tenants. The life Of the
people was enlivened by plays, sports
and dances and by the celebration of
the many medieval church festivals.
A change for the worse in the con-
dition Of the villagers is visible i'm
mediately after the Black Death, the
terrible plague which swept away half
the population of England in the four
teenth century. The shortage of labor
and the consequent high wages caused
the government to enact drastic legis-
lation, imposing compulsory labor at
fixed wage scales. 1rritated by these
laws and by the exactions of the tax

has grown with their years to
endow such men with new energy, and
once more make them fit for produc-
tive labor, is to accomplish work of
social usefulness, to contribute to the
worlds progress.
Those who have seen in the graft
ing of the sex gland-which restores
all energies-no more than the renewal
of the source of those pleasures for
which age has set a term have onlv
grasped small side of the problem.
The question concerns a higher and
more universal domain. The graft Of
this gland will not merely contribute
to the conservation and MULTIPLICATION
OF the human race, and of those ami
mails whose life we are interested in
intensifying, but also to the duration
of our intellectual powers and our abil-
ity to work.
"The ideal toward which our efforts
tend is to preserve life in the plenti
tude of its diverse and multiple mani
festations, to force death to retreat to
it's farthest limits"
While Dr.. Voronoff has replaced ths
glands of men with success, he does not
advise the operation for women.
I'm the meanwhile l can offer this
consolation" he writes. "The mortal
lty statistics of every land prove that
women live much longer than men.
Hence, they have the advantage of US.
and consequently may still wait few
more years before the experiments id

remedy which is to intensity and pro.

thusiastic personal following of Roose-
welt and Gladstone, because he lacked

tours personality was appreciated only
by small, discriminating circle.
In matters affecting the welfare and
security of the British Empire Balfour

OLD VILLAGE LIFE. By p. II. Ditchneid.

0NHE development Of the English


Published by b. p. Dutton q Co.
ME development Of the English
village from the timc Of the Ro-
mans to the present day presents
many interesting features. The life of
the common people is interpreted much
more effectively in an account Of vii
lage customs than in the old-fashioned
history which concerned itself chiefly
with the doings of kings and lords.
Mr.. Ditchfield, country rector and
an antiquarian scholar, gives rapid,
bird's-eye survey Of English country life
in it's unbroken continuity throughout
the ages. He starts out with q brief
comment on prehistoric peoples, who
go by such formidable scientific names
as colithic, paleolithic, dolichoceph-
alic, brachycephalic and neolithic.
Emerging from the dim atmosphere
of remote antiquity, he describes
Britain under Roman rule. In many
respects the Romans were more ad-
vanced than their Saxon and Norman
successors. Under their administration
life and property were well protected;
excellent roads and bridges were built;
trade and commerce fourished, and
many foreign luxuries were intro
duced. Many characteristics of Roman
civilization are indicated in the au-
thor's description of Roman villa:
A Roman Villa
"The buildings were ranged around
an open court, sometimes on three
sides, or occasionally on four, forming
a quadrangle like an Oxford college
Round the square ran a covered colon
naded walk or corridor which gave &C.
cess to the numerous rooms. The roof
of the corridor was supported by pillars.
The foundations of the house were
laid with stone or brick and the walls
were made by timber framing, the in
terstices being filled with waffle and
daub,' similar to the construction of
many old cottages, farmhouses and the
'magpies' of Cheshire. 1t is thought
that most of these houses were only of
one story, but at Silchester some
traces of stairs were discovered. The
rooms were numerous, but small.
There were winter and summer quar-
tiers, the former being heated by
hypocausts. Perhaps it is hardly
necessary in these enlightened days
to describe a hypocaust, but for the
benefit of the uninitiated I may say
that it consisted of heated chamber
beneath the floor of the room, which
was supported by little pillars of brick
or masonry and consisted of cement.
A furnace projected outside into yard
or shed, and generated hot air which

artist who decorated the walls copied
nature as he saw it around him. In
stead of the vine with clusters of
grapes which adorns the walls of Italian
villas, he used to copy the ears of corn
growing in our British fields. Shrines
and frescoes and statues decorated the
interior; a fountain splashed water in
the courtyard, wherein bright flowers
grew, and all the floors of the house
had tesselated pavements, dearly loved
by every Roman.
Little communities, made up of freed
men, slaves and independent farmers,
grew up about the country villas. Some
what the same arrangement persisted
after the Saxon and Norman conquests
Villages inhabited by serfs, retainers
and tenants naturally formed them
selves about the castle of the Saxon
thane or the Norman lord. There was
certain amount Of democracy and good
feeling in the relations between the
Saxon nobility and peasantry; the Nor
mans, on the other hand, introduced all
the harsher and more oppressive feat
ures of feudalism with the arrogance of
foreign conquerors. English life be-
fore the coming of William the Con-
queror is depicted in this sketch Of the
tVnical SqxOn vil1aro.
A Saxon Village
"The. village consisted of number of
families. usually about thirty, and the
land was divided regularly into three
portions. There was the village itself,
in which the people lived in rude houses
built of wood or rough stone work.
Around the village were few small
enclosures, or grass yards, for rearing
calves and batting farm stock; this was
the common farmstead Around this
was the arabic land, where the villagers
grew their corn, wheat, oats and rye,
! beans and barley, and around this the
common meadows, or pasture land, held

subject to the regulations of an officer
elected by the people, whose duty it
was to see that no one trespassed on
the rights Of his neighbors or turned too
many cattle into this common pasture.
Around the whole colony lay the woods
and uncultivated land, which was left
in its natural state, where the people
cut their fuel, and pastured their pigs
in the glades of the forest"
Illustrating his narrative with many
quaint pictures of medieval farmers
and villagers at work, Mr.. Ditchfeld
traces the varied fortunes of the viii
lage and its inhabitants throughout
the Middle Ages. On the whole, con-
ditions Of life were not so bad, espe-

Brown & Co.
THE personality of Arthur James
Balfour, as analysed with notable
skill and perception by Mr.. Ray
mond, is essentially dominated by the
eighteenth century spirit of aristo.
cratic skepticism. Mr. Balfour's chief
characteristic is dislike Of enthusiasm
He has little belief in anything, least of
all in unbelief. He is a conservative in
thought and in politics; but his con-
servatism is untinged with fanaticism.
AS George Wyndham once said of
him: "He knows there was once an
ice age, and that there will some day be
an ice age again!"
The influence of Mr.. Balfours mental
attitude upon his political career is
quite obvious. Few English statesmen
of the last fifty years have rivaled him
in sheer intellectual subtlety and fine
ness, in analytical grasp Of admins
trative problems. He has always been a
master at confounding opponents with
we'll pointed satire. At times, especially
in his Irish Secretaryship, he has shown
a capacity for ruthless energy, and he
is never swerved from his purpose by
such a sentimental consideration as hu-
manity.
But mere artistocratic detachment.
untempered by broad sympathy and un-
derstanding, has it's limitations and dis
advantages. Mr.. Raymond points out
one of Balfour's striking deficiencies in
the following passage:
ut never seems to have occurred to
him that vulgar people, too, have their
own imponderables. Thus he appears
never to have seen anything in a strike
but wrong-headedness and bad bust
ness; the loyalty of workman to work.
man, often as noble as that of soldier
to soldier, was to him not merely in
comprehensive but invisible. SINH
larly he could not understand the ir-
affection of common men for
the land of their birth. He himsel
might love Whittinghame, with its
bleakness and winter SHOWS, better
than the fairest pleasance in Italy,
but then he was Balfour of Whiting
hame and entitled to be above reason
when he chose. But as to the High
land crofters, for example, why should
they cling to land which condemned
them to contend with inclement skies.
with stormy seas and barren soil'
when emigration offered an easy So
luton of their problem %
In his estrangement from the masses
and their interests, in his fastidious
aversion to any display of passion or
however generous or justi-
fed, lie the secrets Of Balfour's in
ability to become great political lead
sr. He headed the Conservative party
for number of years with ability,
