Several years ago I wrota an essay for the Atlantic Monthly on "The Hun dred Worst Books." For a place in the list I selected a book in my li brary entitled Poems on Several Oc casions, published in 1749, by one Jones, a poet whose name was un known to me till I perused his verse. The pages were so fresh that I cher ished the belief that I was the only reader in a century and a half. I had the pride of possession in Jones. It was some time after that I came across, in Walpole's letters, an allusion to my esteemed poet. It seems that Colley Clbber, when he thought he was dying, wrote to the prime minister "recommending the bearer, Mr. Henry Jones, for the vacant laurel. Lord ChesteTfleld will tell you more of him." I was never more astonished in my life than when I visualized the situa tion, and saw my friend Jones "the bearer" of a demand for the reversion to the laureateship. It seemed that Walpolo was equally surprised, and when he next met Lord Chesterfield the eager question was Who is Jones, and why should he be recommended for the position of poet laureate? Lord Chesterfield answered, "A better poet would not take the post and a worse ought not to have It." It appears that Jones was an Irish bricklayer and had made it his custom to work a certain number of hours according to an undevlating rule. He would lay a layer of brick and then compose a line of poetry, arrS so on till his day's task was over. This accounts for the marvelous even ness of his verse. This was but a small discovery but it gave a real pleasure, for should I meet my Lord Chesterfield he and I would at once have a common Interest. We both had discovered Jones, and quite independently. S. M. Crothers, in the Atlantic. CLING TO ANCIENT CUSTOMS Among the Bedouins Marriage Is Cele brated Much as It Was Centuries Age. A Bedouin bridegroom, on his wed ding day, must make his bride a pres ent of a silk handkerchief filled with nuts, sweetmeats, little sugar cakes, and marzipan, also five silver rings for her fingers. An old pair of tellik (Arab shoes) are purposely placed in the room in which the lovers meet. He seizes one shoe, and she the other, and whichever of them can hit the other first will be the ruler of the household after. This is looked upon as an unfailing sign, and there may be something In It. For seven days after the wedding the bridegroom enjoys himself, wan dering through the gardens of the oasis, doing no work, always accom panied by a group of his friends. But on the seventh day he must keep a sharp lookout, for on that day his friends will try suddenly to play a1 trick on him. If ho escapes them, well and good; then he can run to his house and be safe. If not, they snatch his clothes from him and beat him, which seems a poor return for the feasting and entertainment. But it is custom, and that is the law of tho Medes and Persians to these people, who will not omit the smallest cere-l mony handed down to them by their forefathers. Scientific Era of Art. Art has passed through a scientific era, says the International Studio, and the realists and impressionists, having mastered the facts. of light and atmos phere as affecting form and color, have prepared the way for an expressive art which shall also be modern. Mae terlinck in drama, Debussy in music, have proved that an artist may bo spiritual without being mawkish, while Rodin In sculpture has shown that there 1 a symbolism which is not a revival of the past Adding to the technical resources of modern art a power of suggestion peculiarly person al, Mr. Beck's art partakes of the qual ities of these masters in other fields whose work will endure.

SOME FREAKS OF GRATITUDE Woman Found She Had Promised Larger Reward Than She Could Be stow Young Man's Railroad Pass. At a New York subway station re cently a woman ring, which was lost a $500 diamond , duly reatored to her upon the advertised promise to pay the finder a reward of f 200. When tho ring was taken to the owner by the finder she found that she had prom ised more than she could fulfill with cash. So she had to pawn the ring to make good. This is not by any means a solitary case of odd recompensing Incidents. A few months ago a Philadelphia woman lost a pet dog. She advertised for two weeks dally, offering a sum out of all proportion to tho worth of the nnl mal according to current dog rates. Her pet was brought to her door one morning and the reward claimed bo fore delivery. Sho was unable to pay and was In tears when tho finder re fused to accept her promise to pay later as reason enough for leaving the dog. A compromise was reached at last. She signed a paper relinquishing all rights to the dog for a period of six months. The animal's temporary own er entered him In every dog show within a radius of a thousand miles and was reported to have made a tidy sum In prizes. The daughter of a Western railroad president was boating on Lake Michi gan last season, when, In exchanging seats there was an upset, and she was in peril for a time. A young fellow jumped from a nearby launch and res cued her. Her father effusively thanked tho rescuer and asked him i how much cash he might have tho privilege of bestowing upon aueh a . brave man. The young fellow indignantly re-' fused to consider the value of his serv ice in dollars and cents. When pressed to name some other reward he finally made it known that he'd sighed for a I pass on the president's railroad all his young life. He would take an annual pass, but tnat was an. wnen me pres ident explained that it was not lawful to issue hlra one, he Just said: "All right, good-by," and started off. But the president induced him to come back, and found a way out of the diffi culty by giving him a Job on the rail road In order that he might lawfully use a pass. Monument to a Woman. There has just been erected at Blevres, France, a monument com memorative of the patriotic spirit and services of Mile. Dodu, a telegraph op erator, who. after receiving a modeet recompense following the war of 1870, obtained some years later the military medal and afterward the cross of the Legion of Honor. Now 44 years hav ing elapsed since the war, It Is deuled that she was entitled to these honors. One of the alleged services was that to save capture by the Germans she hid the Morse telegraphic apparatus be tween the two mattresses of a bed ridden neighbor, but it Is denied that she was ever taken before a council of war and condemned by a German tri bunal. It Is even said that the whole dramatic story was invented by M. Villemessant, a journalist, on the bor der of Lake Engheln, to which place the young telegraphist had been sent after the war. But Mile. Juliette Dodu, thanks to the journalist, had bud- Rtnntinl rficocrnltlon while llvlnor nnd iiaik 1ia noma fa In lbrira valla? en a monument. Old Scotch Church of Kelwlnlng. One hundred years ago the remark able steeple of Kelwlnlng church, In Scotland, collapsed and fell to the ground, fortunately without Injuring any person. For several centuries the Kelwlnlng church, or abbey, bad been regarded as one of the architectural gems of Scotland and its steeple was remarkable both for Its height and its artistic design. The church dated back to about tho middle of the twelfth century. In 1660 the edifice suffered considerable damage at the hands of zealous reformers, who, tired by the sermons of John Knox, plun dered and laid In ruins many of the abbeys and monasteries throughout Scotland. These acts of van'dallsm formed a part of their campaign to supplant Roman. Catholicism by Protestantism, which they finally suc ceeded In bringing about through an act of parliament passed in 1567. Tuberculosis In Egypt. Modern research has established the fact that tuberculosis, both of lungs and bones, was common in ancient Egypt more than 3,000 years ago. Not even in diseases, apparently, Is there any new thing under the eun. There are grounds for believing that the ancient Pharaohs suffered from malaria, and had appendicitis now and then, and their instruments prove that most ailments of the eye known to the oculists of today devastated the banks of the Nile twenty centuries be fore the birth of Christ. Where the modern world may claim novelty is in the successful treatment of disorders which our ancestors were obliged to endure. The "8lugograph." M.
