Only belief In the law of reincarnation
can make one resigned to th tragedies of
human life.
Here la on of th leaser tragedies yet j

Marled at 33. th
longing for a good
h-me and greater
advantages waa In
a measure gratl
fted. But now. at
40, the woman's heart la atlll craving for
more knowledge, for the power of higher
development. But she finds her brain
forces limited, ner memovy . poor. She
reads everything worth while, but is un
able to recall it afterward; she attends
lecture and enjoys them, but cannot re
late to any one an hour afterward what
she has heard.
"Is there any place 1 could g6 that I
could be among people that would enable
me to learn learn anything? I cannot
learn from books; 1 hnva tried too long.
I would like to learn to talk, to converse
with people, to have the power to speak
without . trembling at the sound of my
own voice. Oh, 1 want to be like other
people. I cannot begin again and go to
school wjih young girls. I tried In Phila
delphia, yean ago, going to Temple col
lege, but I was too dull. Even the pro
fessors give the attention to the bright
young scholars, and I waa young; and neat
then, hut my brain was asleep and has
never worked. I could not stand the
aliehtlnar now: it was hard then.
"I wanted so badly to learn. From ob
servation with an Instructor to ImnrnM
like childrcln. who 'learu by doing,' I
might learn. I must have a stunted
brain. Every ether way I am perfectly
normal and good to look upon. Pure
vlsir.n, pure motives, but ever wanting
Intellectual things which no one has had
the patience to give me.
"What would you do? Where -would
you go to learn to be natural? I feel lika
uprooting mysolf and beginning again
among people we read about with Jane
Addams In Hull House."
This pathetic letter- proceeds to relate
other misfortunes connected with her sit
uation. The Intellectual acquaintances
sfie makes she can not, hold, .because she
has no conversational powers and no way
of Interesting them. She haa taken life
so seriously that she has never developed
a sensa of humor, and she saya "I never
remember laughing like other, people."
One feels that she would be far happier
had she been satisfied with the com
moner and '.csv Jnlaltectunl .alde-of life,
fhe is like one whose ambition haa. led,
him to climb to heights where he Is ln
cnpable of breathing the.' rarefied air.
There are plants that thrive'' In sandy
soil, but' which droop and fado whea

A voman who finds herself at ) with
out conversational powers would do well
to realise the great need In the world of
good listeners. It would be Impossible to
t acquire a brilliant conversational accom
' pllshment at that age, and with such
mental handicaps; but to learn the great
f3t would be long step toward the win- :
nlng and retaining of intellectual friends.
Very many more people are talking In
the world than are llHterrfng. The most
entertaining talkers have many com
petitors, but there are few to rival one
who sets out to be a good listener. To
listen and to read and to think should
make life brighter than it seems to be for
this longing soul.
She needs to forget about herself for a
teason and roust rest satisfied with the
thought that every aspiration of every
living creature is certain to be realised
In lives to come. This woman will pass
one of this earth body Intd-realms where
lie ,wlll experience mucU for which she
las longed on earth, ano after periods
of time, in which she will accumulate new
powers and new understanding she will
be sent back to earth to occupy a new
body; and in that body Bho will be given
a life In full accord with her longings
and aspirations here and now.
Whatever effort she haa made in this
life to grow and enlarge hor horison will
take effect In that life to be.' Nothing
is lost; nothing Is wasted In this world.
Love, friendship, aspiration, - study, en
deavor, however thay may seem to be
wasted here, they are shaping results
In the life which follows directly after
this, and they are making environments
for the next incarnation, Lonely hearts

that she should pay more attention to
this young man than the other young
men there? Is it right, after a young
couple have been for a side, to stand and
talk at the gate, or should they go to
the house? Is It proper for two girls
to drive quite a way to town alone? It

Infinite space means extension without
limitation lo all directions. Therefor It
can have o end. The extent or magni
tude of such apac Is conceived to be
greater than any sslgnable or fixable
extent or magnitude. The Instant you
try to set a limit spec shoots over your
imagined boundary, as unconflned as be
fore, and you feel that you could never
"corral" It.
Our mind are confronted by a double
dimculty-we ean neither limit space ner
comorehend Its illimltabillty, for human
Intelligence la unable to grasp Infinity,
either of apace or of time.
People sometimes think of space as
being inflnltesmallty, which la th oppo
site of Infinity.
People sometimes think of apses as
being globular la form. Then they say:
"We can, In a manner, conceive of the
surface of the globe of space as extending
away and Away, getting larger and
larger, wider and wider, without limit
but surely tbsr must b an end In th
other direction, for at the center la ap
proached spaoe becomes smaller and
mailer, and at last et the very center,
It must reach degree of imallneaa
which cannot be exceeded. There Is then
an Imaginable limit to the Infinitesimal If
not to tb Infinite.
But mathematically,' the Infinitesimal
la quantity or magnitude smaller than
any assignable quantity or magnitude,
and Its limit can no more be approached,
or fixed, than can that of the infinite.
The geometrical analogy of the globe, as
defining the form of space, is misleading.
We cannot assign a shape to infinite
space, since we cannot assign a limit
to it.
It Is a pur Idea, flitting perpetually
through th mind, giving us a certain
sensa of reality, and yet as ungraspable
as a spirit.
Many think of th universe as filling
all space, the meaning of '"the universe"
being the aggregate collection of stars,
with their attendant bodies, auch as plan
ets, comets, meteors, etc., whose existence
la revealed to ua by our eyes and our
telescopes. Byt all the evidence so far
assembled by astronomical observation
goes to ahow that there are boundaries
to the starry universe' on all side. Its
heights and depths have been approxi
mately sounded, and we can say that Its
most distant stars are probably not more
than 10.000 or ,000 light years away, a
light year being nearly 600,000.000 miles.
This Is, of course, an enormous dis
tance, but It Is nothing In comparison
with Infinity. Considered In a bread
sense, the starry universe I ony an atom
In spec. Th question then arise whether
It la the only "atom" of th kind In x
Istenc. We have no direct knowledge
of other systems of star outside our
own. but to me It seems Inevitable that
there must be others, which lie beyond
our mean of detection. - .
It Is possible that these "outside uni
verses" are net within th limits of the
mysterious medium that we call ether,
which affords th only means of trans
mitting light from on part of our uni
verse to another. Just as no sound can
be made to paee beyond the limits of th
earth's atmospher. because the air Is
necessary for the transmission of sound
waves, so no light may be able to pas
outside the boundaries ef the ether, or to
enter them across, the empty spec
around. .
According to, this view, aach starry
system, or Independent universe,1 may
have its own bubble ef enveloping ether,
within which light plays In all directions,
but outside of which no ray can pene
trate, for lack of a medium capable of
carrying th luminous waves.
But. however, we might multiply tb
supposable number of universes, we could
never ill Infinite space with them, un
less we Imagined thalr number to be
Infinite also.

fe sadly a bind of mental Intoxication,
aad yet It ha an Inspiring effect, and
tenda to expand the mind. Bemctimea we
think we have It and then we find that
it baa flitted away from us, but always,
by our efforts, we widen the field of
thought If we are chasing a rainbow, at
