Man is not a creator. He cannot bring into existence that which was not. Without something to work with, he is as helpless as a babe. His sole means of achievement is in co-operating with the forces of nature already in existence and with giving new shape to the things which he finds about him. The sailor fashions the lumber from the forest into a ship. He weaves the fibres of the field into sails but lie cannot make the wind to blow.

Does he then sit helpless and hopeless on the

shore? No. He contrives to adjust his sails in

such a way that when the wind comes up it will push him about wherever he wishes to go. An engineer cannot create coal. Neither can he cause water to exist. But he can put the coal under the water and change the water into steam. He can turn the steam into his piston chambers and make it push him across the continent. Man is strong, not because he can bring things into existence, but because he can harness himself to the forces of nature that already exist. His power is in proportion to his ability to co-operate with nature. There are two secrets of human success. One is to understand what the forces of nature are and what they will do under given circumstances. The sailor must understand the nature of wind and how it acts. The engineer must know what water does when it is changed into steam and how to get the stoi'ed up energy out of the coal. The other secret is to know how he may be able to adjust himself to these forces already in existence in such a way as to get them to work for him. The farmer cannot make a seed germinate, but he can contrive to put it in such a position that nature will do it for him. The doctor cannot cure disease, but he can so direct some natural energy that it will restore health. It is in knowing how to make gravitation, heat expansion, gases, chemical energies and all these various natural forces be his slaves and servants that give to him his ability to drive a tunnel through the Alps, to make a canal across Panama and to build a city of six million souls. But how is the young man or woman to gain this difficult knowledge? How is he to learn all about the complexities of the various natural

forces? How can he become skilled in contriving such devices as will enable him to set these forces to work? The race was many hundreds of thousands of years in discovering these difficult things, and if a youth sets out to discover them all over again for himself, he will never be able to get past the ABC's of them. It was just for the purpose of avoiding such wasteful effort and needless experience that books were invented. Just as the vegetable energy of long past ages was stored up in coal, so is the knowledge and experience of centuries of human effort stored up in books. And the young man who is wise and doesn't want to waste his energy in useless efforts will make use of books just as the engineer makes use of coal. He will say to himself, "I am going to study this book and take advantage of the knowledge that my forefathers spent centuries of work and pain in discovering." A city library is therefore a mine of energy and power and the young man or woman with a grain of sense will use it to the limit. He will

be able to put to use the knowledge gained by the human race of what the forces of nature and of human society are. He will there learn how to contrive those devices, either of machinery or of social institutions which can enable him to co-operate with those forces. He will discover it to be a veritable power-house. Young man, if someone gave you a coal mine, you would be digging down after its stored up energy inside of a month. But the city has given you something greater than a coal mine, something greater than all mines put together. It has given you the use of a repository in which the knowledge and inventions of all past ages are stored up. If you are wise, you will not waste a moment in making full use of it.

talk or sing, or preach oar pray to his god, he dances to it. In all of the more elementary forms of religion, the experiences are of such a fervent character the man cannot restrain from

motion. Oftentimes with us, religion moves only the tongue but with our forefather it moved his whole body. Until a comparatively recent date, dancing held an important place in the Christian church ritual. Of this Ellis gives a

number of examples.

Of course, dancing has always been intimately related to love. Social customs over the whole world and throughout all our history show how natural it has always been for love to move people to dance. Even among the animals and birds

we find numerous examples of the love dance. ! Reasoning from the universality of the permanence of the habit of dancing, Ellis believes it to be an instinctive expression in human action of that same habit of rhythm which is found everywhere in nature and the universe. His utterances in this connection recall to mind Herbert Spencer's great chapter on "The Rhythm of

Motion." The philosopher-scientist there calls our attention to the fact that motion in its very nature is rhythmical. The taut cord in the wind vibrates; leaves on a tree pulsate back and forth like the movement of a pennant ; dry corn-stalks before a wind move up and down in regular measure; the stream that flows breaks into ripples ; the grass blades in its current wave to and fro ; the stick drawn suddenly through the water curves as it moves; the cannon-ball never flies in a straight line, but ricochets from side to side; the heaviest steam engine falls into a rhythmic throb under its flying wheels. Light, heat, color and sound are caused by the impact on our nerves of vibrations in the ether. The waves on the sea move rhythmically; the tides advance and retreat in a kind of hesitation

waltz; the earth courtesies and bows to its partner the sun as it whirls 'round its orbit; the seasons dance in and out from spring to winter. All life falls into the rhythm of birth and death and of waking and sleeping. Sorrow follows upon joy and restlessness upon rest. Even the blood does not flow in steady streams, but pulsates like the tides. Rhythm is built into the brain. Note how a speaker falls into a sing-song when he loses control of himself. Music itself is nothing but a dance of sound. Even the evolution of life, science is beginning to show to us, does not advance soberly and

steadily in a line, but rather goes forward in a spiral of gains and losses, of retreats and advances. Life itself is a rhythmic thing and dances into the world, and the more alive it is, the more rhythmic. "The significance of dancing," says Ellis, "in the wide sense, to us lies in the fact

that it is simply an intimate concrete appeal of that general rhythm which marks all the physical and spiritual manifestations of life." One of the most interesting parts of his study is that in which he speaks of the place the dance has held in the evolution of human society. It has undoubtedly been one of the chief methods through which man has learned to co-operate with man and to subordinate his own impulses to the movements of his fellows. Among the Greeks of the classic period it was held in highest esteem. "A good education," says Plato in his last book, "consists in knowing how to sing

well and dance well." While Stanley Hall, a modern authority on education declares that a rebirth of the dance is imperatively needed if our education is to include the whole of man's life. Of course, like all instinctive acts of human nature, the dance is frequently perverted and debased. Just as the stage which is used tonight to exhibit "The Servant in the House" may tomorrow night produce a vile burlesque, just as a singer may in one hour appeal to our souls with "The Holy City" and in the next shock us with

some salacious street song, so also does the dance sometimes become the agency of evil. But those who seek to abolish it do not understand the instinctive and necessary place it plays and has always played in human experience. The destruction of dancing "has never proved in the end a matter for rejoicing even to morality while an art which has been so intimately mixed with all the finest and deepest springs of life has always asserted itself afresh." And if it perishes in one form today, "dancing as an art, you may be sure, cannot die out but will always be undergoing a re-birth."

THE BEST COUGH MEDICINE "We have been using Chamberlain's Cough Remedy for the past month and consider it an indispensable. Its effect is almost instantaneous, and there is no use talking, it is a dead shot on a cough or cold. We do not say this

berlain's Cough Remedy the best made, and want the people to know it and use it." Columbus Safeguard, Columbus Junction, Iowa. The above ediitorial appeared in the Columbus Safeguard almost forty years ago. At that time the sale and use of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy was confined to a few counties In Iowa. It now enjoys a world wide reputation and many thousands have testified to its excellence. For sale by all dealers. Advertisement

Manhattan Island was laid out as a

Napoleon did the same thing for Paris and made the French Capital the place of beauty that it is today, but it cost a great fortune- to do it. Australia is using better Judgment.

FACTS AND FANCIES

Dancing Havelock Ellis, the well known English scientist, publishes an essay on dancing in the current issue of the Atlantic Monthly magazine. Few authorities living are able to combine in so great degree precision of scientific truth with beauty of poetic expression. Even those who

cannot accept his conclusions can't help but ad

mire the man for the sweetness and light which he pours into every paragraph. There are two classes of art, he says. One expresses itself apart from the human personality; the other expresses itself by means of the human personality. Of the former class architecture was the original type ; of the latter class, dancing was the tap root out of which all other forms have 'grown. As Rachel Vernhogen says,

In the west end of London there are scores of head waiters whose incomes range from $2,000 to $3,000 a year from tips alone.
