One of the most conspicuous of New

One Of the most conspicuous Of New
York fnanciers prefaced recent
speech by saying: "A man in my posi-
ton seldom finds anyone to differ with
him." He then pursued his theme Sc
renely unconscious that in a dozen
pregnant words he had portrayed him
self as an autocrat surrounded by boot
nckers and toadies too servile to do
aught but bow down before his oracu-
lar announcements What a confess
sion And what an existence! A
life without natural contacts, devoid
Of the stimulus Of healthful opposi-
ton, seeing wherever it looks only it's
own likeness, hearing whenever it lis
tens only to it's own echoes, says Les
lies Weekly. If gold in accumulat-
ing millions can so insulate it's owner
from the normal currents of human
existence, second and worse curse
of Midas has manifested itself upon
Wall street.

1t would go hard with the birds if
their case were left to be decided upon
argument alone. But robins are their
own best advocates, says the Detroit
Free Press. They come in the spring
-vandals that they are-and start a
deeply planned campaign to cultivate
everybody's friendship. The deep
woods know them not; they never
skulk in the bushes, nor flee the pres
ence of man. Instead they choose the
lawn for a hunting ground, build their
nests even on porches and window
stills, and never let the sun go down
without a song delivered from the
most conspicuous perch on the place.
The robins cheerfulness is irresistible :;
his neighborliness compelling 1t is
absolutely impossible not to like him
when he offers such convincing proofs
every day that he likes men.

THE NOBEL PRIZE

1t would perhaps be wise for Nobel
prize winners of certain countries to
cash in their awards and then hold the
sums for the days Of better exchange.
There is the case of Walter Nernst of
Berlin, for instance. In accordance
with the will Of Alfred Nobel, the prize
money must be paid in Swedish
kroner says the Christian Science
Monitor. Consequently when Herr
Nernst cashed in his kroner, which in
normal times would have amounted to
10000 marks, he received $780, 46
marks! Anatole France received $751;
Ill francs. In Scandinavia the effects
were disturbing. The peace prize, for
instance, was divided between Brant-
ing of Sweden, who received 6O,786
Swedish kroner, and LANCE of Norway,
who received 1OO,473 Norwegian
kroner. The Nobel committee, it is
rumored, is somewhat worried over
these absurd defations and mutations
Of the prizes.

A dispatch states that twenty can
vases by Jean Francois Millet have re-
Gently been discovered in the garnet Of
Cherboprg Town hall, where they have
lain under layers Of dust entirely for
gotten for years. Millet was in his
twenties when he did them. It is a
peculiar fact that there is a vast diff
ference between the early work Of
writer's and painters being discovered.
In the case Of the writer there is al
ways a faction that will loudly pro-
test against the publication of prentice
work, affirming that it gives an unfair
presentation Of the writer and adds
nothing to his fame. Why is this never
the case with painters? Is it an &C.
cepted theory that the prentice work
Of painters Is always Of definite
value?

Prof. Yandell Henderson Of Yale,
who has invented a remarkable in
haletor, for the resuscitation Of persons
overcome by gas, is opposed to the
use Of such appliances in mines and
factories, and even goes so far as to
suggest that instead Of being re-
quired 1t should be forbidden by law.
Their effect, he says, is to prevent
workers in mines and elsewhere from
learning how to revive asphyxiated

lance upon such devices as his own.

STAR AND UNDERsTuDy

& For every star there's an under
study, no matter how high on the lad
der one may be, just below him is ar
other, ready and waiting to- take his
place, says the Sioux City Journal.
Both are stimulated to effort by the
knowledge that one is above, the, other
below. The star must exert himself to
retain his best hold upon his place,
knowing that if he shall slip he is lost.
The understudy must be ready to step
into the stars place at moments no.
dce. It is a case of the survival Of
the fittest. Life is filed with stars
and understudies. A star is no sooner
set than another rises to take it's place.
Always some one is in preparation for
the high places in life, however ex-
allied they may be- No man is so in
dispensable that another equally capa-
BILE cannot be found to fill his place
when he drops out of the play Thus
does the world -revolve in it's orbit,
pursuing it's ordered way, undisturbed
by the constant ebb and flow of hui
man life.

If mans home is his castle, says
the Baltimore Sun, his bathtub should
certainly be considered outside the
sphere of governmental control 1t is
therefore with some suspicion that
one reads the pronouncement of the
federal bureau of education to the
effect that each good American should
battle at least twice a week but,
fortunately there is no intination that
the government will set inspectors on
the track of those who refuse to adopt
this standard of cleanliness. AS it
stands, this official rule is only a
recommendation, and there seems some
chance that Americans Will observe it
in view of the bureaus failure to
specify the temperature of the water
which constitutes the bath. One hears
quite frequently that a daily tub Of
frigid liquid provides a mental and

tanned in any other way, but in spite

plunge still runs I: poor second to the

What has happened in America,
over and over again, according to an
editorial in the Dial, is this: The
potential artist has stopped halfway
because no critic and certainly no pub
lie demanded of him the last item Of
his strength as an artist. The Amer
lean critic has hit soft and the Amer
lean writer has gone soft, and the pub
lie taste which the critic could have
formed has been, for the most part, a
series of sentimental enthusiasms. It
has almost lost the faculty of intel
ligent enjoyment. 1t has asked it's au-
thOrs to repeat, not to create: and has
faithfully stood by them as they grew
progressively worse.
