Europe’s Art Objects
Really Second Rate?
The treasury of Europe, that vast
litter of the work of their grandfa
thers, which the posters preach, is as
miscellaneous and unequal as a jack
daw’s swag in the hollow tree, and no
one knows the good from the bad, de
clares William Bolitho in Vanity Fair.
“All artistic criticism,” declares this
iconoclast, "is as dead in Europe as
was scientific in the Middle ages. The
same Frenchman who Insists that you
do the dusty journey to wind-swept
Versailles to worship the monstrous
palace, where even the impenetrable
Stolidity of an architect who could
make over three hundred yards of
bays in exact re|>etition cannot dis
guise the ill-judged megalomania of
the monarch who insisted that his fa
ther's hunting box should be built
into the center of the largest palace
in the world, will rush you with a
sickly smile past the magnificent and
serene Eiffel tower.
“The grand staircase of the Chateau
of Blois is stuck on and superfluous;
the greatest German cathedral,
Cologne, is nakedly, appallingly out of
scale, too short for its height, and in
stead of that lovely Gothic sensation
of soaring to the heavens, gives the
spectator a dull pain between the
eyes; detailed mention of all instances
that elutter my memory would not ex
haust the case.” Whether good or
bad, he concludes, anything built be
fore 1840 is reverenced as being ar
tistic.
Pastor Called On to
Have Business Mind?
“The church is caught in the occi
dental, and more particularly Ameri
can, habit of gauging success by the
spectacular. A successful church, like
a successful furniture shop, is the one
which has the biggest establishment,
offers the biggest assortment of wares,
and affords the biggest income. . . .
A considerable part of my work as a
minister is not so different from that
of the executive charged with the re
sponsibility of getting new customers
into a furniture shop," writes a min
ister in Harper’s. “1 must ‘sell’
my institution just as surely and
skillfully as the man hired by the local
chamber of commerce ‘sells’ his or
ganization. The difference is that he
was hired for that express purpose,
and I, tradition says, was hired, or
should have been, for something else.’’
Use of Hooks
Every home owner should invest In
a good assortment of hooks. To hook
back doors while open is a conven
ience, as nothing has to be hunted up
to hold the door from banging shut
when it is wanted open. Book doors
on the inside. Book covers on feed
boxes Instead of having weights on
them. Hook basement storm windows
that have to be opened occasionally.
Hook gates, tool boxes and children’s
playhouse doors. These doors should
never be hooked tightly or the chil
dren will sometime lock themselves
in. If a long staple is used and a good
deal of it left on top the wood, the
hook will hold the door and yet give
it play so they can work it open from
the inside.—Successful Farming Maga
zine.
Wide Awake
It was after dusk and yet the two
young people sitting close together In
the park made no attempt to depart.
Presently a keeper came in sight,
going his rounds before closing the
gates.
“Sorry to disturb ye,” he said to the
idlers, “but it’s too late for ye to be
sitting here."
The youth was apologetic.
“I didn’t realize it was so late,” he
murmured. “We are going to be mar
ried next year.”
“Sure, now,” returned the park
keeper, “do you think I’m fool enough
to suppose you was married last
year ’’—Pittsburgh Sun-Telegraph.
The Crudest Lies
The cruelest lies are often told in
silence. A man may have sat in a
room for hours and not opened his
mouth, and yet come out of that room
a disloyal friend or a vile calumniator.
And how many loves have perished
because, from pride or spite, or diffi
dence, or that unmanly shame which
withholds a man from daring to be
tray emotion, or love, at the critical
point of the relation, he has but hung
his head and held his tongue?—Robert
Louis Stevenson.
Start is Not All
The winner of a long race Is us
ually the one who does not start with
a spurt. Some use up th*lr stock of
enthusiasm In compiling their New
Year resolutions, and have nothing left
for the harder task of living up to
them. The right way to live the year
Is not to start off with flying colors
and then peter out, but to make it pro
gressive, each day better than its
predecessor, each month an Improve
ment on the last.—Exchange.
Brazil Roads
Overabundance of patience, plenty
of pluck, and a large measure of stam
ina are the three essential qualities
that motorists in South America must
possess, particularly when traveling
over Brazilian roads. In southern
Brazil roads are not only almost im
passable most of the time, but are gen
erally hopelessly Impossible from the
standpoint of touring comfort Tra
versing them constitutes one of the
most severe tests to which motor cars
and tires can be subjected.
Htpe to Find Bones
of Cardinal Wolsey
Leicester abbey, where Cardinal Wol
sey told the abbot he had “come to
lay his bones,” is to undergo trans
formation. For many years the abbey
grounds have been used as a farm, but
now they are to be laid out as gar
dens and for recreation, Pierre Van
Paassen, writing in the Atlantic Con
stitution, tells us. Wolsey’- body was I
laid in an unknown grave, and It Is j
thought that in the excavations neces- !
sary to adapt the grounds to their
new use, some trace of it may be
found, but as there is no record of
any of the cardinal’s possessions be
ing buried with him the search seems
likely to end In failure. One fact
about Wolsey is probably not widely
known. When he was at the height of
his power he employed an Italian
sculptor to make a magnificent sarcoph
agus beneath which he should lie.
Leicester monks laid him to rest In
plain earth and Henry VIII seques
trated the sarcophagus with the rest
of the cardinal’s vast possessions. The
sarcophagus remained government
property and idle until 1806, when It
was used to cover the body of Nel
son after his remains were brought
from Trafalgar. The man who said
that England expected every man to
do his duty, and led them in so doing,
rests under the covering prepared for
the man who was led away and ruined
by overweening ambition.
Didn’t Have Nerve to
Cook the Little Pig
A Cleveland housewife who was en
tertaining some very epeciai friends
from out of the city, wanted to have
a dinner that would linger In their
memory for some time to come. What
could he nicer, she thought, titan a
roast suckling pig?
Accordingly the little pig was sent
home from the butcher’s, unwrapped
and laid on the kitchen table, where
Iter small sort caught sight of it and
burst into tears.
“Don’t cook that dear little piggie I”
tic wailed, disconsolately.
His mother sent him from the kitch
en and picked the pig up to carry It
across the room.
“In that moment.” she reports, “my
courage failed me. There was some
thing so much like a little baby about
that poor little pig that 1 set it down
in a hurry. I realized then and there
that I didn't have the nerve to cook It
Like my son. I wiped the tears out of
my eyes and put the ’dear little piggie
out of my mind forever. We had roast
beef for dinner."

Chinese Telegraphy
The transmission ant) receipt of tel- |
egrams in China is not so easy as Id I
western countries, because the Chi
nese language lacks au alphabet and
expresses ' itself by characters and
signs that represent words, in conse
quence. for purposes of telegraphing
an exact list hac been made of signs j
in quantity sufficient for ordinary cor- !
rt spondence. and to each one of the
signs a different number is given
which is transmitted by the Morse
telegraphic system. The code consists
of 9.800 ciphers, the whole forming a ;
pamphlet of 49 pages, each one of
which contains 10 series of 20 char- j
ueters with its corresponding number.
On receipt of a telegram the operator j
I.«ik8 up in his book the characters j
represented by the numbers transmit ,
ted by the apparatus and transcribes ;
them into legible Chinese.

Modern Sweden Not
Believer in “Souls” ■
The Journalist hunting for the soul
of modern Sweden returns with a ]
yawningly empty bag. Nobody will j
give him the shadow of an encourage
ment to discover great things matur
ing in the bosom of this quiescent j
country, ready to burst forth and as- :
tonish the world.
“No," they say, “here we are poked
away high up in a corner of Europe,
right off all the spiritual and material
highways. As if to enhance our Isola- |
tion. till you great powers go and ■
wage a war of extermination for 8ve
years, so that your new generations
have grown up amid the clash of arms
and the odor of blood, while we were
doing business as us-ual, or, rather, far ;
better than usual—though we man- |
aged to drop most of the proceeds a ;
few years later with the German mark. |
“And now you come and ask us to i
be exciting and Interesting. We are i
not. We are upright, worthy, well !
feil. humane, intellectually adequate
northerners. The soul of Sweden?
Fiddlesticks I We don't believe in
souls.”—Manchester Guardian (Living
Age)
Enjoy Rat Slaughter
London bloods of the early part of
the Nineteenth century had no bull
lights, as did Madrid, so they sub
stituted the rat for the bull and the
dog for the matador. An old scrap
book tells of Billy, a celebrated ratter,
performing the charming and mar
velous feat of killing 100 rats In 8ve
and one-half minutes. This was his
ninth match, so If his quota was the
same each match be had a total
score of 900.
Sports audiences of that time were
not much different from those of to
day Vi'hen the rats failed to show
enough eggressivenes the audience*
would become bored. The squeals ol
the tortured rats were enjoyed much
In the same manner as the “thud" of
a stiff blow Is enjoyed by boxing
spe?tators of today.—Kansas City
Star.
Wrong Beliefs About
Exercise and Heart
The old belief that the heart in
creased in size according to the in
creased amount of work it Is called
upon to perform is a myth. Dr. Ma
thias J. Seifert, Chicago, says in a
study of the effect of exercise upon the
heart, prepared for the Gorgas Memo
rial institute at Kansas City.
If an athlete’s heart increases in
size it is not because of the exercise
he has performed, but because there
was something fundamentally wrong
with it to begin with Doctor Seifert
declares.
“It is now found,” he says, "that
the predisposition of the heart to en
largement is the result of Infectious
diseases, such as scarlet fever, pneu
monia, rheumatism and too strenuous
exercise in youth, as well as to physic
traumas.
“Exercise for pleasure causes no
enlargement of the heart, but on the
contrary produces a strengthening of
the whole body and. normally, even a
smaller heart.”

Cubans Cling to Old
Instrument of Death
The one machine that the Spaniards
are credited with having imported into '
Cuba 134 years ago is still in use.
It is the “garrote.” instrument of
death, which greatly resembles an old
picture of an Inquisition machine of
torture. Eor many years the garrote
served the Spaniards, dealing death to
Cuban rebels. Since the expulsion of '
the Old world rulers it has been used
at the Havana penitentiary as the of
ticlal instrument of execution.
No place but in Cuba is the garrote
used officially in executions. A pris
oner operates the beheading device
and gets money and a time decrease
in compensation for his services.
The Havana garrote is said to have
taken 184 lives since it has been In
Cuban use. Before that it was used
In executing Spaniards accused of
high treason.—Kansas City Star.
On Molding Character
Sow, it is better than nothing for a
bad man to have one virtuous Im
pulse; it is helter than nothing for a
man in a rocky field to find one place
where there is soil and where a hand
fill of corn will grow and wave like
the trees of Lebanon; it Is a glorious
thing for a man to know that there
is something in the world besides
himself, and that he is not omnipo
tent. omniscient, or omnipresent; it
is a good thing for a man once In his
life to feel little, and to know himself
as he is; but how much better It
would he if he could fix the vision and
turn it into character!—IJenry Ward
Beecher.
Too Rough
She didn't understand football.
“Why did they knock that man down
ns soon as he touched the bail?” she
asked.
"Because he was trying to get a
goal." her brother explained.
“But isn’t the object of the game
to get goals?”
“Yes; hut he was—you see, he’s on
the other side. He wras going the
wrong way—that Is. toward the wrong
goal.”
' Well. 1 don’t see why they shoulo
knock him down to tell him that.
Kveryhody makes mistakes.”—Mon
treat Star.
Rejecting a Compliment
A well-known member of the stock
exchange, who Is now giving up the
close of a strenuous life to philan
thropic efforts, was In his hey-daj a
tremendous gambler in stocks, and. In
cidentally, he and his partner were |
rather expert In the gentle art of mak
ing enemies, one of these accosted i
him with the pleasant remark : "Look <
here, you are the biggest thief on the
stock exchange." "Ah,” was the an ;
swer, “it Is evident you do not know |
my partner.”—-London Tit-Kits.
Jail Bird
Tt was one of those little parties at !
which an out-of-town girl was a gues'
of honor. In the course of the evp- j
riing she was Introduced to a young
man from the prep school. After the
introduction, she avoided him with the
most deliberate Intent. When her
nostess asked for an explanation, the
young visitor replied that he was from
the prep school. The hostess looked
perplexed.
"But Isn't it a son of a penlten
tiury''” the girl ventured.
Engliah Tongue in France
English In eleven lessons so equipped
twenty Baris policemen that they an
swered 350 questions In the new Ian
guage. This encouraging result caused
the prefect, Jean Chiappe, to order
250 more of the force to go to the
school. Frenchmen who have adven
tured abroad suggest that a notebook
and pencil will help out the officers,
for they have found it simpler In Eng
land and America to write their qeus
tlons rather than wrestle with the
foreign accent.
Snow Storm Formation
Potentially enow storms form in
general region of warmth, strange as
It may seem. The area of low baro
metric pressure, or storm sea, comes
whirling eastward across the Gull
states and then generally takes a
twist northward along the Atlantic
seaboard. When sufficiently far north
these warm air currents are chilled
and the moisture becomes snow, very
often being borne to the earth by the
back draft of east wind.
