The Divine Sarah" I1nagines HI CT S elf Well - Imagination Stronger than Will -Four Items Print ed Together-Learn to Speak English Why Do Nations Cling to Antiques.

Mime. Sarah Bernhardt is we'll after an attack of heart failure which, the doctors state. would be death, nine times out of ten, to persons half her age.
 When she regained conscious ness she began repeating. ''I am not i'll. I am Just tired. I shall return to the theatre in threo days as soon as I am rested" To her physician she said, You can do nothing for me. My best phy- stctan Is my will power" There may be some error In reporting what the Divine Sarah" says. The force she is relying upon Is not will power, but imagination.
 She imagines that she is merely tired and not i'll. and 1t turns out that she Is well. The system of Coue is founded upon the imag- nation He asserts that when the imagination conflicts with the will theimagination always wins.
 
 The will Is, indeed, a wonder full thing, The imagination is more wonderful. Poe, at the be- ginning of his story 'Lygia," quotes from De G1anviIle some thing after this fashion. Man Both not yield himself unto the angels nor unto death utterly, ex- cept by the exceeding weakness of his feeble will" He might have said instead, that man arrays himself above the animals chiefly by the exceeding greatness of his imagination, from which spring most of those wonderful things which make modern civilization what 1t is. The railroad, the tele- phone. the flying machine and so on, and on, and on. There is whatever good thing a man can imagine. that thing some day the race may do.

 Happiness and misery are not the companions of any particular state of life or social position. Ienine, Russia's mighty head and the humble cashier are miserable The great men of the English speaking race are happy. not happier than the humblest man would be under the same circum- stances.
 
 Conrad Lorenz of Vienna, son of the famous Dr. Lorenz, who came to America to study medi- cine and surgery in Columbia University, leaves because of fail ures to comprehend sufficiently the English language. From this we may learn the importance of English to those persons from abroad who expect to spend the remainder of their days in this country. They should master the tongue. Those who speak the same speech are no longer strang- CTS.

 T,ouis Iossasso, North Bergen. locked in a grocery store which he had attempted to rob, and un- able to escape, killed himself t7 avoid arrest. Why was that? Must be some difference inside the head. How many of the queer things men do, called sinful, may be caused by something in sid. the head; something wrong? What passes for immortality may often be caused by physical defect as real as a blind eye or a lame leg, if the defect were where it could be seen-
 Why do nations cling to their antiques refusing to part with them, even when they are badly in need of money? The French wouldn't sell the Venus of Milo in the Louvre, nor Italy, Michael AuseIo's Moses, the greatest statue ever scuIptured, which Is in the Church of St. Peter in Vincoh.
