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.'"

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.

"SLANG" ROOT OF LANGUAGE
Idiom of Today In Correct Usage To
morrow, Declares University Pro
fessor of English.
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?' Is condemned because It Is
meaningless, but tho term 'ho bus a
pull Is approved ns It Is tho opposite
of 'push,' a word that has forged
ahead through Its own strength."
