CARLYLE ON LUTHER

A rugged honesty, homeliness, simplicity; a rugged sterling sense) and strength. He flashes out Illumination from him; his smiting idiomatic phrases seem to cleave Into the very secret of the matter. : Good humor too, nay tender affection, nobleness and depth; this man could have been a Poet too! He had to work an epic poem, not to write one. I call him a great Thinker; as Indeed his great ness of heart already betokens thatl Never mind Linus Earl will be back soon. " . . '" "

George Lockwood of the Marlon Chronicle says: , Senator Beveridge has some fool friends In Indiana who try to demonstrate their usefulness by discovering a conspiracy against the senior senator very time any Hoosier happens to disagree with them, .on infant, baptism or the best shade of neckties. t Mercy who are the conspirators? George M. Cohan has been giving advice to the dramatic critic; He says: My Dear Mr. Critic: Will you please consider the fact that whether or not you like "Musical Comedy," that the public demands this style of entertainment, and consequently it becomes necessary to produce It Now, so long as things are like this, and so long as tt is impossible to do away with music plays entirely, why not encourage the men who writs these "awful things" to do better work. But Isn't it Just possible that the comic opera librettists get enough encouragement from the box office receipts as long as the "public demands this style of entertain ment?"

SLEEPING OUT Now that spring, has come with warmer nights tilled with the earthy smells, good to the no6e and the temper, it is time for sleeping outTime was when we all closed our windows and -reposed like sardines la a hermetically sealed room tight as a tin can. ; It is true that we arose n the morning with; much, of the same signs of lifer as those same sardines. But we had escaped that dreadful calamity "night air." Now, "night air" Is no longer that bugaboo which has sent hundreds of thousands to a grave of tubercular causes. We now know

that the only night air which is really harmful is the night air which Is shut into bed and living rooms and breathed over and over again into the lungs. Almost everyone can sleep out doors if he really wants ta "Whether it Is on the most luxurious sleeping porch or whether it is on the roof in the tenement district some way can be founi ta get the air. .'- - The summer time is th time to start this once started it will be fcard to go back to the abiding place of tuberculosis. And tuberculosis yon will remember. Is the disease which does the most havoc to us all particularly those who live In the city. DEAD COMETS Newspaper readers most wonder occasionally what becomes of those who ara In tha limelight one day and drop from sight the aaxt Those are the dead comets of tha aewspaper world. tfroaUr tt Is only at death aad some

times not even then, that tha circle of the comet's orbit la completed. To name aa example of those who drop out of .lightwho ever now bears of the dally life of Evelyn Nenbit Thaw? Yet there was once a time when the minutest detail of her comings and goings was recorded with all the trained experience of the best aewspaper writers in the country. Who knows now what Admiral Dewey or General Ftottston Is doing? Once they were popular heroes. Dead comets. And yet it is safe to assume that if they were doing anything worthy of note their exploits would be published along with their previous history. It is commonly said that the retention of facts, deeds, and news in general lasts only about a week. "A seven days' wonder." As a proof of this, the offices or rather the local rooms of newspapers are often plastered with the pictures of the gods of the hour, pasted up in some idle moment For the most part there Is no one in the office who knows who these people of a few years past .are. The little scraps of old newspapers are unwitting monuments to these same comets the offspring of transient notoriety. A newspaper man said the other day that he thought it would be interesting to have an occasional "follow up" on some of these departed meteors. But would it?

SMILE "You shall each have cake of seasame and ten pound." Lucian ; The Fisherman. The value of a smile has not received the full attention it should from those who are so Interested in the Emmanuel Movement and other phases, of psycho-therapy. In this field we are not plagiarising : either EHa Wheeler Wilcox'B-"Smile and the world smiles with you" nor are we wandering over on the preserves of the cheerful occupant of the White House. As far as that is concerned there is no need we hope ' there I is cheerfulness to go around. Rather, we were thinking about the effect it would have on business and pleasure in the city of Richmond if once in a day or so certain prominent individuals would exercise the muscles of their faces and not do it in the privacy of their own homes with the curtains pulled down so no one could see them. ' Do you think it would hurt either business or pleasure? Would there be a real loss of dignity and self esteem if about twenty of the most prominent men in this town would unbend for a few minutes each day? It may be a thought which is entirely too frivolous for Richmond just yet. But " certainly nothing ' calamitous would happen. On the other hand there is one man in this town, who is always the one called in to manage en terprises which are too heavy for other people He smiles his way through difficulties. It is a real commentary on life to see him do business with a knowledge of what he is trying to accomplish. His employes are no better than the ordinary, but they turn out more work for, that man than for any one else, because they feel that he appreciates their work and that he has enough interest in them to stop to say something pleasant or at least to

smile. ' . ' .' How any man can figure out In profit and loss the advantage of appearing, as if he were going into bankruptcy next week and his creditors already on his trail, is a little queer.

There are some people, who for some

strange reason, don't like to do bust ness with men who are not cheerful.

The difference between the pessimistic and the optimistic view points goes farther than this. The pessimist is always thinking of what he might have

done" and bewailing the fact that he did not do it Your optimist on the other hand, is the man who is smiling over his defeats and thinking of what

he can do in the future. This is a very serious matter this smiling. It can even declare dividends, it can pull men through the terrors of spring housecleaning. But seriously speaking, it is the smiling man who is branching out in trade. The man who makes a business of tearing down a competitor instead of thinking up good things to say about bis own business is not apt to get very

far.It has not been so long ago that the people of the town can forget, that a man who tried to pull everybody down the ladder who m as just a little ahead of him succeeded not in palling the people down, but in smashing the rungs out of the ladder. He eventually came down too. ITc was a pessimist, Bui of course, this is a matter only of smiling. The smile is the sesame which opens the doors of difficulties. It is the smile which makes life worth the living anyway..-

LITERARY WORLD

THE SOUL OF MEREDITH. There is a certain grief in things as they ara, in man aa he has coma to be, over and above those griefs of circumstance which are. in a measure removable." There is "a capacity for sorrow in his heart, which grows with all the growth, alike of the Individual and of the race.", So speaks Pater in the loveliest chapter of "Marina the Epicurean." J: But there is an overword back of all these elements of our distress the failure that is the sure comrade of all brave attempts, the Ingratitude that answers back our every true effort of unselfishness, the nobler ambitions that will always overleap accomplishment The hope that we carry is a dark-veiled hope. The message of those that have gone ahead is stoical. Kipling speaks the larger language when he says: "He who hath not endured to the death from his birth, hath never endured." We live in the Valley of the Shadow. And if there is radiance to light it not of the starlight, not of the moonlight is that light for young mariners. Hidden in the unconquerable soul only there is the flame that is steady to the end. Something like this is the valiant spirit that George Meredith has left with us, he who never knew success till the fulness of years made him indifferent and he could only coolly enjoy it till he was solitary and could not personally impart it, till he was known to the wise and did not need it. He was renowned, but never popular. He lived many years after awakening from "that dream of hope" which ' makes youth glorious. To a friend he wrote: "As to us two, we will say ' that the gods may rob us of everything except the heart to endure." Perhaps he speaks a greater word than any swift ripening and resonant early triumph would have brought forth. Editorial in Collier's for June 5.

Experts Are Investigating the Cause of the Beriberi Disease

The Society of Tropical Medicine an J Hygiene, in London, has been discussing recently the cause of beriberi, but as yet has been unable to reach any thoroughly satisfactory conclusion as to Its origin. The matter Is to be taken up again at the society's next meeting. The correspondent of The Medical Record gives the following account of the last meeting: x

"The rice theory, which has been f re- J

quently put forward and rejected, and again revived in Japan and rejected, was once more represented at the society. Dr. L. Braddon. surgeon of Negri Sembilan. in the Malay states, as- . J V jk : s- . i i

by all rice, but only by that prepared in one way, viz.: the white, un cured rice sifted, hulled, screened, and then polished and sized. This, he holds, will in time produce beriberi. "But fresh rice, dried in the sun and stored in dark bins, and then each day's amount taken and hulled by pounding in a wooden mortar before cooking, as is the custom in Malay, does not produce the disease: nor does that cured by the Indiana method, viz.,

soaking for twelve hours, then heated with water on a slow fire till the

grains burst, afterward dried in the sun and winnowed. It is thought the grain is thus sterilized in the husk, and so any organisms thereon destroyed. "The Chinese, who are the chief sufferers, always eat uncured rice. Dr. Braddon cited experiments in institutions by feeding one group on cured and another on uncured rice, and after a year reversing the diets, with results confirming his view. The true cause of beriberi was. he held, feeding on uncured rice which had been husked and stored for some time and on which an epiphyte had developed and was a nerve poison. "Dr. A. R. Wellington of Sarawak

said the disease was unknown among the Dyaks in the interior of Borneo; but when they came to Sarawak they suffered as much as the Chinese. In Simanggang Gaol the disease had been checked by feeding on fresh rice. At Brooketon mines, where it was once rampant it was now absent, though no change had been made in the rice, and in other mines the experience was the same. Examples of infection had been noted, and there were cases which seemed due to place infection. He had investigated the bed-bug theory, but found no evidence that these or other parasites carried the infection. But he added that since bugs had been exterminated in the Kuching hospital there had been no fresh rases. It would seem, therefore, from Dr. Wellington's experience, one can draw no definite conclusions. "Dr. Carnegie Brown said beriberi had been got rid of In the Japanese navy by general sanitary improvements, and the addition of animal food to the diet without any change in the rice ration. A disease which could not be distinguished from beriberi was seen in persons who did not eat rice; on the other hand, rice was the chief food of large communities living in the endemic area but not suffering. But the evidence of asylum neuritis, ship beriberi and similar conditions, was important and it was not answered by denying they were beriberi. In Italian ships rice was largely consumed and beriberi was unknown; in Norwegian ships rice was not eaten and the disease was common. In the districts dealt with by Dr. Braddon thousands of Chinese households lived on rice, and none of the members suffered, but If one of them went to a mine, hospital, asylum, or gaol he was likely to be attacked. Dr. Braddon's feeding experiments were, however, very striking. "Sir Patrick Manson said Dr. Brad-
