GREAT ACTRESS KISSED POET Sarah Bernhardt Made Her Meeting With Longfellow an Event to t Be Remembered. fflitn Sarah Bernhardt came to America in the seventies sculpture was her "side line." As soon us she arrived In Boston she expressed a de sire to do the butt of Longfellow, says thu. Christian Science Monitor. Long fellow, however, though not Insensible of the honor, declined. He said that he was about to leave for Portland, Me., and feared thntiMmo, Bernhardt would have departed before his re turn. Then, to mitigate tho curtness of his refusal, ho asked thu tragedienne to his home, Inviting William Dean Ilowells and Oliver Wendell Holmes to meet her. They became very amiable toward one another, and Longfellow, who spoke excellent French, praised Mmn. llernhurdt's performance of "Phedre," telfng her she surpassed the great lWtiel, whom he had seen CO year career. The actress, not to be out ilone, told the poet how much she en Joyed reading "Hiawatha," which she p'rotjoiwiced Heo-a-vatere.

Popular Science Monthly, ANCIENT RACES PLAYED BALL Tossing the Gpher'e It Supposed to Have Had Deep Symbolic Mean ing Centuries Ago. Although It Is a prown fact that the game now designated Imselinll Is of modern and purely American origin, the use of a ball In ceremonies and games goes back mauy crnluites. Four thousand years ago, In the twelfth Kgyptlan dynasty, a Coptic artist sculptured on the temple Itcnl Hassan, human figures throwing and catching balls. A leather-covered ball used In games played on the Nile over -10 centuries ago, has u place among the many nrchcologlcal specimens In the ISrltlsh museum. It bus a sewed cover and Is In u remcrknble state of preservation. The gumo of ball was prized by the Greeks as giving grace and elasticity to the human figure, und they erected a statue to one Arlstonlcus for his proficiency In It. Ancient medical practitioners were wont to prescribe a course of ball playing, where thu modern doctor would order a diet of pills. It Is supposed that bull tossing had a deep symbolic meunlng when played In the hprlng of tho year; and that the tossing of the hall was Intended first to typify the upsprlnglng of the life of nature after the gloom of win ter. And, whether this was the case among thu people of antiquity or not, It Is n remarkable fact that the ec clesiastics of the early church adopted this symbol and gave It a very special significance by meeting on Faster day and throwing a ball from hand to hand, to typify the Itcsurrectlon. "TOTEM POLES" TELL .STORY Are Historical Records, and Not, ae Many Supposed, Idols to Be Worthlped. An art lti sculpture not resembling any other art In the world, unless pos sibly that of undent Mexico, Is found highly developed among the aboriginal natives of the northwest coast. Their material Is always wood, and Is furnished by huge trees from the forest, which are carved Into the most fautnstlc shapes. In this style are sculptured tin so-called "totem poles," which, often of great size and height, astonish the observer by the Intricacy of their workmanship and the weird Imaginativeness of their complex designs. Karly missionaries In that part of thu world mistook the totem poles for Idols. As n matter of fact, they pos sess no such significance, being merely heraldic columns. Kach tribal clan has Its own traditions and myths, which takes the place of history, and thesu are symbolized by the extraor dinary birds and other animals, some times human faces or figures, carved on the totem poles. Thus the Hour olnn will have Its heraldic column topped by the sculp tured figure of a bear. The raven fchowa tip conspicuously as the totem, or crest, of the Raven clan ; the whale for the Whale clan, and ho on. To the unversed a totem pole would hove no significance beyond Its queer ne.ss, hut It Is lu reality a whole story carved In wood. Power of Poise. Poise Is power. The man who Is not master of himself under all condi tions cannot feel thu assurance, the power, which Is thu right of every hu man being to experience. He Is never sure of himself, and thu man who Is never sure of himself Is never wholly at cum. He Is not even well-tired, .for good breeding Implies self-control un der all circumstances. There Is, perhaps, no other thing which Is so conducive to one's physleul and mental comfort, efllclency, happi ness and success as a calm mind. When thu mind Is unbalanced, by auger, ex citement, worry, fear or nervousness, tit entire body Is thrown out of bur mony. All the functions are deranged ; the man or woman Is not normal, and Is, therefore, whatever the situation, at a complete disadvantage, wholly un able to contend with It. Orison Swett Marden lu thu New Success Magazine, Elevator. Rope In Coal Mines. One of thu most Impressive things about a colliery, to an outsider. Is the mammoth drum which winds the rope which brings coal up from the pit. This monster drum may measure 1.10 feet lu circumference, and weigh about "00 tons, uud It will wind In the rope with Its load at a speed of nearly GO miles nn hour. There are miles of the rope, when the pit Is u deep one, like the Yorkshire Main colliery's, whese ver tical shaft holds the record for depth by going down nearly 1,000 yard, and for long distances horizontally.

Whether In a letter or face to fuc there Is nothing In the whole big wide world that does so much to make a good Impulsion on cither stranger or acquaintance as simple, elemental, ev eryday courtesy. It Is surprising, with courtesy so valuuble and so absurdly cheap that more of It Isn't used, writes Fred C. Kelly In Leslie's. If I'm on a train, let me Bay, and the man ahead of me nt the Ice water tank Insists on my drinking first, or hands me the little paper drlnklng-cup he wus about to use himself, I thank him. I don't merely grunt my thanks, as if I thought he had given me no more than I had coming to me. I thank him out loud, so that he can hear It. And at the first opportunity I try to get right back at him by do ing some little fnvor for him. If I haven't a cigar to give him, I at least show that my heart Is In thu right place by o (To ring him n nmtcli. If n stranger comes to my office? for a conference, I pull up a chair for hltn with my own fair hands. When he gets ready to go, I accompany him to the door. Thus his last recollectkaj of me Is my courteously bowing lihn out. If you haven't a lot of acquaintances I feel sorry for you. The fault Is probably your own. There must be people all about you who would enjoy knowing you as much as you would enjoy knowing them. As a sporting proposition there Isjnothlng to equnl the fun of seeing how many people you can make? your friends. They're valuable, tangible assets. If I were 'called upon to give good advice In few words, I would say: "Know a lot of folks." CALL FOR UNWRITTEN BOOKS Public Libraries Give List of Works Reading People Would Seem to Appreciate.

New York Evening Post. 4fy Vaudeville. The word vaudeville Is a corruption sof Vaue de Vlre, the nnine of two pic turesque valleys In tho Hocnge of Nor innnily, France. The name was origin ally applied to a song with words re lating to some story of the day. These songs were first composed by Oliver Hasselln, a fuller living in Vlre. They were popular nnd soon spread till over France, and were called by the name of the place where Hasselln composed them, namely Vaux de Vlre. As thu origin of the term wus lost sight of It at last took Its present form, vaude ville. . Vaudeville Is now properly used to signify a play In which dialogue Is In terspersed with songs Incidentally In troduced but funning an important part of thu drama. Deceived by Reflection.

NAPOLEON'S ONE BIG QUALITY Grenl Tronchman's Fascination Lay la His Directness, That's All, Says H. G. Wells. The world has largely recovrred from tie mlscMrf'thot Napolcnti did; perhaps that amount of mischief had to be done by some agency; perhaps his career, or some such career, was a necessary consequence of the world's mental unpreparedness for the crisis of the revolution. Hut that his pe culiar personality should dominate the Imaginations of grent numbers of peo ple, throws n light ujion factors of en during significance In our human problem. Marat wus a far more noble, per sistent, subtle und pathetic figure; Talleyrand a greater stntesman and a much more nmuslng personality; Moreau and Hoch abler leaders of armies; his rival, Czar Alexander, ns egotistical, more successful, more cmo tlonul, (ind with a finer Imagination. Are men dazzled simply by the scale of his flounderlngs, by the mere vnst ness of his notoriety? No doubt senje tins something to do with thu matter; he was u "record," the record ' plunger; but there Is something more In It than that. There Is an appeal In Napoleon to something deeper and more fundamental In hu man nature than mere astonishment at bigness. His very deficiencies bring .out starkly certain qualities that lurk suppressed and hidden In us all. He was unhampered. He had never a gleam of religion, or affection, or tho sense of duty. Directness was his distinctive and Immortalizing quality. He had no brains to wate In secondary consider ations. He flung his armies across Europe straight at their mark, there never were such marches before; he fought to win; when he struck, he struck with all his might. And what he wanted, he wunted slniply and com pletely and got If he could. There lies his fascination. From "The Outline of History," by H. G. Wells. HOTEL MEN NOT ALL BAD Wayne B. Wheeler Tells Goo'd Story to Prove the Truth of Asser tion He Makes. Wayne I). "Wheeler of the Autl-Sa-loon league said In San Francisco: "I think we're unjust to hotel men as a rule. We are too' ready to ac cuse them of robbery. As a mutter of fact they are a very llnu lot. "I once knew nn engineer who was traveling in Nevadir. He had a good deal of money with lilm, and one night lie put up at a very primitive hotel In the wilds. The landlord of this hotel looked like a brigand, and the engineer could hardly slePp for fear. "Nothing, however, happened, uud the next morning he set oft with a re lleed heart. Thu mountain trail wus a lonely one, and on towurd noon. In a wild nail desolate spot, three des peradoes fell on him, emptied his va lise and pockets, and made off. "The engineer wus convinced thut thu landlord was nt the bottom of this holdup. Accordingly he turned back to notify the authorities. Hut he had only none a mile or so when he met 1 a mounted messenger, who handed him a small packet. Pinned to the pneket I w'ns a note from the villainous land lord that said: I " 'I Inclose your pocketbook contain ing $850. which () left under your I pillow last night.

It Is as much n physiological . . fact as scarlet fever. Nature piakes It wort I Idle to be alive simply through euphoria. The joy of mukltig a good tennis stroke, the delight that a woodsman gets In the open air, the artist's rhapsody nil are due to euphoria. Why do we drink alcohol when we cun get it or smoke tobacco? To effect euphoria. When a lunatic thinks that he Is Napoleon and demands the homage due an emperor, he has euphoria in Its worst form. 'loo little Is known about euphoria.

TOP OF SN0WD0N IS SOLD Ground on Britain's Loftiest Mountain Has Recently Been Purchased by Farmer. Freak purchases arc heard Cf from time to time, but It Is not often that the sale of n mountain Is announced. For this reason alone the transfer of the summit of Snowdon, Including sev eral hundreds of acres of the slope which Is grazing ground, and the ground on which Is built the Summit hotel, by Lleut.-Col. Worsley-Tnylor, to a fanner, Is of more than ordlnnry In terest, remarks the Christian Science Monitor. Mount Snowden In Curnarvon Is the most famous peak lu the southern part of Hrltuin; Is well known to all holiday makers, and Is of a bold and rugged outline and forms, with Its subsidiary peaks, an Impressive rnnge. The ascent presents no special features of difficulty If one of the Ave well de fined pnthways Is used, but should the climber be bent on "pioneering," nnd leave the beaten track, he should he prepared for anything lu thu way of mountaineering problems. The view from summit of Snowdon on a fine day makes the climb worth while, for spread below Is Anglesey, the Menal straits, and n grent curve of ocean from the fnr-off extremity of Cardigan bay to Rhyl. In the fore ground nre to be seen the well deflnrd 4caks of the sister mountains. Alto pother the climb Is a most exhilarat ing form of exercise, nnd nlthough the boast of having gained the 'top does not carry much weight, there is n cer tain satisfaction in having reached one's objective. Gladstone, twenty- eight years ago, after having performed the climb, addressed u political meet ing of 3,000 people on the summit of Snowdon. . UNIQUE IN ANIMAL WORLD Elephant Hat Survived Because He Has Been Able to Adapt Him self 'to Conditions. These Is nothing else like the ele phant. He has come down to us through the ages, surviving the con ditions which killed off his earlier con temporaries, and he now adapts him self perfectly to more different con ditions than any other nnlmnl In Af rica, Carl Akeley of the American Mu seum of Natural History writes in the World's Work. He can. cat anything that Is green or oven bus been green, Just so long as there Is enough of It. He can get his water from the aloe plnnts on the arid plains or dig a well In the sand of a dry river with his trunk nnd fore feet, and drink there, or he Is equnlly at home living half In the swamps of better watered regions. He is at home on the low, hot plains of the seacoast nt the equator or on the cool slopes of Kenla and Elgon. So far as I know he suffers from no con tagious diseases and has no enemies except ninu. There nre elephants on Kenla that have never lain down for a hundred years. Some of the plains elephnnts do rest lying down, but no one ever saw a Kenla elephant lying down or any evidence that they do He down at rest. The elephant Is n good traveler. On good ground a good horse can outrun him, but on bad ground the horse would have no chance and there nre few unlmnls that can cover more ground In n day thnn an elephnnt. And In spite of his appearance he can turn with sur prising nglllty nnd move through the forest us quietly ns a rabbit. Results of Hybrid Mating. Here Is a strange set of fatw, prov en by three different Investigators In three different parts of the world at three dlffereut times. In matlngs of so-called "pure" races, that Is to say, Englishman with Eng lish woman, Frenchman with French woman, German with Germun woman, etc., 104.04 more males are horn than females. In hybrid matlngs, that is to sny, of different nationalities there Is a more significant excess of mnle over female births. In matlngs of United States whites the ratio Is about the same as that of European hybrids. In mntlngs of United States colored folks there Is a significant excess of females over the ratio of British West Indian colored who nre relatively pure bred. Slept Thlrty.Two Years. Surely a subject for the speculative psychologist is the record sleep In dulged In by Curollne Ohlson, n Swedish girl. In 1875, when only a child of fourteen years, she fell Into a long trance In the Island of Okuko, lu the ISaltlc, nnd remained unconscious for 32 years. Food was administered to her, although she seemed quite un concerned. Xor did she respond to any Inquiry during that long time.

Though In popular lunguage the earth Is said to be round, like a ball, It Is really an Irregulur sphere, slightly tiuttened at the poles. The slight departure frolu rotundity is accounted for by the tupld motion of the earth while la a more plastic state. , T.-ROAL NOTICES First Pub. Mnrch 31, 1021 3v. rsonci:. Hint led J. D.
