X ek$"e"0fca Henry Slcnklc wlcz, so frreat a name In Poland that he has boon coupled with Co pernicus and Ko8 cluszko as the tliroo Poles to whom Americans are most Indebted, was born In Oprc yn In Russian Po land In 1S4G. Ho studied philosophy nt Warsaw uni versity and soon afterwards. In company with Helen Modjeska and other radical Poles, established a socialistic com munity In Cali fornia. It was somewhat like tho earlier Brook Farm experiment made by Hawthorne and his friends. It wus no moro successful and Slcnklowlcz re turned to Poland where he wrote a series of articles for a "Warsaw news paper about his American experiences. Then he turned to novel wrltlnp. Ho wroto brilliantly and rapidly, turning with the utmost easo from realistic pictures of contemporary life to stories of romance and to historical novels. "Chlldron of the Soil," which he called his best book, o a. simple story of Polish life which won moro favor with his own countrymen than It did nbroad.l in the 80s he completed his tremeh dous trilogy, "With Fire and Sword," "Tho Deluse" nnd "Pan Michael." There was nn epic quality about these historical novels that mnde many peo ple In many lands hall him as a new Scott or n. now Dumas. Ills International reputation, how ever, came with "Quo Vadls." his mas terpiece of ancient Roman Ufo. It was "iickly translated Into KnKllsh and In to nearly every tongue. Thon It passed to the stage, not only In America nnd England, but also In France nnd Ger many. Since that success Slenklf-wlcz had traveled widely, visiting England, France, Italy, Spain, Greece. Africa nnd the Far East. Ho received tho Nobel prize for literature In 1905. From the outbreak of the war to his death In November, 191C, ho devoted himself to the relief of Polish war victims. TT DO not know of a cer 1 tninty her name oven Lygia - "or Cnllinu? They1 call her Lygia In the house, for feho comes of the Ly'Rinn nation; but she lias her own barbarian name Callina. It Is a wonderful house that of those Plau tluses. There aro many peoplo In It: but it Is as quiet there as in the groves of Subincuni. For a number of dnys I did not know that a divinity dwelt In the house. Once about daybreak I saw her bathing in the garden foun tain; and I swenr to thee by that foam from which Aphrodite rose, that the rays of dawn passed right through her body. I thought that when the sun rose she would vanish before me in the light, as the twilight of morning does. Since then I have seen her twice; and Since then, too, I know not what rest Is, I know not what .other desires are, I have no wish to know whnt tho city can give me. I want not women, nor gold, nor Corinthian bronze, nor nmber, nor pearls, nor wine, nor feasts ; I want only Lygia.' " Thus did Vinlclus, young Roman patrician of the time of Nero, an nounce his love for Lygia, daughter of n king, beautiful hostage fmm'her nation, forgotten in the turmoil of the world empire and brought up as a Roman girl. Vinlclus wns speaking to his uncle Pctronius, known to his own time as Arbiter Elegnntlnrum, trained lu all tho art and beauty of Greece, wise, witty, and lenrned, gayly staking his life Jn his dally battle of wits with Tigelllnus, who provided for tho gross er desires of the tyrant Nero us Pc tronius did for his finer und moro artistic ones. It was n time when the conflicting tides of a pagan age, sadly degenerate from the sturdy days of pristine Itomnn virtues, mingled with those of h new era in the world, only recently herald ed from Judea. In the complicated threads of the picture of Rome, cni ital of the world, appear the figures of Peter and Paul on their mission of spreading the new religion of Christ; Poppneu, wife of Nero, beautiful as a dream, but wicked as a nightmare; Eunice, tho charming slave of IVtro nlus; Chllo.'wlly Greek who can be Christian or pagan as profit leads him; Ursus, prodigious in his strength, sim ple us a child In his faith in Christ nnd his devotion to Lygia (from whom G. B. S. may havo drawn a sugges tion In "Androcles nnd the Lion"), and many minor folk who help to mnko tho story stand out us unusually human among the numerous tales of Greco Ilomrui times. When Vinlclus told his undo Pctro nius of his passion for Lygln, the lat ter thought nothing wns easier than to provide his nephew with what ho regarded as a new plaything; a word to Nero, who as emperor had all hos tages In his care summon the maiden to the palace, bund her over to tho young patrician at her guardian what more could bo needed to satisfy any one's desires, especially as tho maiden manlfebtly was pleased with Vinlclus? But Petronlus nnd his nephew reck oned without a new force thut had en lercii Ir.io thU I'coau world. They could not understand n girl who lied from Nero's court and nil Its mngnlfl cence, lied even from the lover whom she loved. Hut "Anally he understood this, which he and Petronlus had not understood, that tho new religion, en grafted into the soul something un known to that world In which he lived, nnd that Lygia, even If she loved him, would not sacrifice any of her Chris tian truths for his sake, nnd that, If pleasure existed for her, It wns n pleasure different altogether from that which he nnd Petronlus nnd Caesar's court, nnd all Rome were pursuing. Every other womnn whom he knew might become his mistress, but that Christian would only become his vic tim. And when he thought of this, he felt anger nnd burning pnln, for he felt that his anger was powerless. To carry off Lygia seemed to him possi ble; he wns even sure that he could do so, but he was equally suro that, in view of her religion, he himself, with his bravery, was nothing, that his pow er was nothing, and that through it he could effect nothing. That Roman military tribune, convinced that the power of the sword and tho list, which had conquered the world, would com mand It forever, snld for the Arst time In his life that beyond that power there. might be something else; hence he asked himself with amazement what It was." It Is n definite and concrete way that the author has chosen to show tho power of tho new religion over human lives. Struggle as ho would, backed by birth, by wealth and all the beauty, chnrm nnd allurements that wealth could bring, by the Ingenuity nnd wit of Petronlus, by tho strong-arm meth ods of Croton, champion bruiser of his time, even by the force of tho known world In Nero's sway, Vinlclus could accomplish nothing If all he could win to himself wns a mere un willing body, while soul nnd spirit were beyond his grasp. And the mad dening part to him was that he owed all his troubles to tho teachings of a pnrcel of Jewish fishermen or their likes, or slaves or humble folk who had never before entered Into serious consideration In tho thoughts of a pa trician like himself. It wns n .long struggle with him, and as tho reader follows the various peoplo of the story through their part In the action, he gets nn admirable picture of Rome Nero, tyrant, actor and nrtlst, with all his magnificence and all IiIr debauch eries; the poor and humble In their crowded quarters o the great city; the delight of nil the svnses In tho life led by Petronlus; the lawless streets of Rome by night; tho pursuit of Lygia by Vinlclus and his hirelings, result ing In tho deuth of his professional bruiser Croton at the hands of the faithful Ursus, and the disaster to Vinlclus which led to his nursing back to health by the Christians ; his meet ing with Peter and Paul; the gradual opening of his eyes, physlcnl and spir itual; his discovery of Christians everywhere, among the people, among his own slaves, among soldiers and otll cers, even In the very court of Nero. And the growing worry and astonish ment of Petronlus: "Vinlclus, thou art losing sense, Judgment, moderation,' exclaimed Pe tronlus. '"I love only her In tho world,' re sponded Vinlclus. " 'What of that?' , "'This, that I wish no other love. I have no wish for your life, your feasts, your shamelessness, your crimes.' " 'What Is taking place In thee? Art thou a Christian?' " And then the great Aro of; Rome, set by Tigelllnus that Nero might not lack the experience of Priam, who had seen Troy burn; of rescuing Lygia from the fiames ; the persecution of tho Chrlstluns with the thought of throw ing on them tho rage of tho peoplo at tho burning of the city; the singling out of Lygln by the hate of Poppaca because Vinlclus hud spurned the ampress proffered charms; the Anal rescue by a miracle of strength on the part of the ever-faithful Ursus, and tho words of Vinlclus to Peter: " 'What thou commandest I will do.' '"Love men as thy own brothers,' nnswered the apostle, 'for only with love mayest thou serve mm.'" Copyright, 1919, by tho Post Publishing Co.

BROOMS FROM PINE NEEDLES Said to Be an Excellent Substitute for the Bristles Now Used, and Will Last Longer. One of tho latest discoveries Is a new use for pine needles. It has been found that tho needles of the pine make a fair substitute for bristles In brushes und brooms. They aro found lu great quantities on the ground In fir forests, and, owing to tho large amount of silica In them, they aro hurd, and do not decay rapidly. Tho pine needles are dealt with In two ways. Where they are long they uro simply hunched together and Ucd firmly, and u stick Is pushed down the center us a bundle. The other plnn 1b to Insert clusters of smaller needles In holes In n thick IhIi piece of wood. Theso holes aro Ailed with hot pitch, and when this material has sot-hard nnd dry the pine needles aro held firmly lu place. Elaborate tests have shown Hint pine needles wear well. They are not more easily broken than much of tho material which has been commonly ued lu broom-making, nnd, owing to their hardness, they can withstand h great deal of friction.

Tlmt the slang and Idioms of today Will be correct English tomorrow Is the opinion of Prof II. GHcksuinn of tho Kngllsh department. University of Wisconsin. "Our langiiago Is made up of what was once slang, Idiom, colloquialism, and jargon," ho said lately, and warned that the most deplorable fea ture about slang was Its tendency to produce mentnl slovenliness. Professor Gllcksman then referred to tho word "mob" as slang of 200 years ago and as such denounced In the Spectntor by Addison. "It Is nn abbreviation of the word 'mobile.' Even .so tho word 'pep Is vital and vlrllo and will survive with tho word 'snappy.' But to gain recog nition slnng must bo free from vul garity nnd cheapness," snld Professor Gllcksman. "Tho term 'Uow do you got that way?'
