FRENCH TO READ BROWNING
At Least, Works of the English Poet
Are to Be Translated Into
That Language.

"Robert Browning in French" does
not sound an altogether promising
proposition. Indeed, of all the modern
poets of England one would imagine
that he would be the most difficult to
interpret to a foreigner. In spite Of
all drawbacks, however, an interesting
selection of Browning's poems has
been made by two translators, Paul
Alfassa and Gilbert De Voisins, who
have grappled by no means unsuccess-
fully with the acknowledged difficult
ties of the "enigmatic" poet. Mary
Duclaux writes a foreword which is to
all intents and purposes a careful
study carried out in a fashion which
must be undoubtedly agreeable to
French readers. Nine DuclauX is not
afraid of graphing with problems
either of Interpretation or translation,
and the little book published by the
Librairie Graset is an admirable ex
ample of that difficult art of transla-
ton Of which the late Mr.. TeiXeria De
Mattos was an acknowledged master.

At Lufield abbey, close to Bucking-

in the unique position of being his own
overseer and rate collector; and the
Buckingham board of guardians just
carried out their annual task of re-
electing him Luffield abbey's Overseer.
This farmer is probably the only man
in England who makes his own rate
for himself, levies it, on himself, and
collects it from himself. Then he
signs his own parish books. His farm
constitutes the parish.

KANSAS IS HEALTHY STATE
Typhoid Death Rate Is Cut While TB
Rate Is Lowest i'm L. ).

Lawrence, Kan. Dec. THE death
rate in Kansas from typhoid fever has
been reduced % per cent, while the
rate from tuberculosis is the lowest in
the United States. according to the
records OF the state water and sewer
laboratory in Snow hall at the Uni
versity of Kansas
The work of the water and sewer
laboratory at the university is said to
rank among that of the eight best
laboratories in the entire country. The
great decrease in percentage of deaths
is due in great degree to the work
of the Kansas laboratory in ferretinS
out the causes and checking them.
Cities which have installed these
plants under the plan adopted by the
Kansas university laboratory are
Marion, Topeka, SaIina and Manhat-
tan
Besides the installation OF water
plants, the department inspeets all
bottled water used in the state, and
il also examines and tests all of the
