WORLDS LOST
LIBRARY

THERE is one book collection
l. that is beyond the reach of
even the most liberal handed Of
our multimillionaires.
1t would have two divisions:
First, the works which were writ
ten. which once existed, and
which are now lost-the missing
books Of Livy, and the plays Of
Menander and Philemon: and
second. the works which were
never written-Moliere's "Homme
de Cour,' Richard Brinsley Sheri-
dams "Affectation. and Victor
Hugo's long announced romance.
La QuinQuengrogne."
And there might be third di-
vision containing the books which
were actually begun. which were
never finished, and which we
know only as fragments-Haw-
thorne's "Dolliver Romance"
Thackeray's Denis Duval" Dick
ems Mystery of Edwin Brood"
StevensOn's Saint I've" and THE
Hanging Judge"
In all these cases our loss is
irreparable. We may believe that
perhaps the ashes of Pompeii will
give up the books of Livy and
that the dust of the Egyptian
tombs will surrender the comedies
of Menander and Philemon; but
what never existed we can never
hope to recoVer.-Internatio nal

to give a cut of the whip to the

Death is divided with reference
to its causes into two categorieS

death. The latter includes every
form Of death from disease or
violence: the former only death re-

what may surprise many readers,
that in nature natural death Is
rare. This is because of the
struggle for existence among the
innumerable species of living or

In human societies the dead

the remains of any. In nature
natural death is quite rare, for
there Is vital competition.
Very captivating are some OF

grade-Floyd and his sister, two
brothers and the widowed mother
SO when Floyd got his first job
he thought he ought to go on

he insured his life in her favor
for $4,000.
-Four years passed. The sisters

Lady Luck was smiling on the
Evans family. Then Della came
into his life and Floyd was the
happiest man in town.
For the first eight months Of
their marriage all was 1907 Joy.
But one day. quite casually Della
happened to mention insurance

There was queer little silence.
