EMOTIONALISM IN ART
Impossible for Artists or Writers
Adequately to Depict What
They Cannot Feel.
Superficial sentiment is with
out vital influence. The secret
of power lies in the intensity of
emotion; but especially so in
poetry, art and literature. By
no hocus-pocus can artists and
writers adequately depict, what
they do not feel. There should
he a thermometer of tempera
ment as well as for tempera
ture; feeling and emotion have
their degrees. We are serene
when our feedings are in the
temperate zone, indignant when
we pass Sff, furious when we
reach blood heat, mad at boiling
point. When feeling falls below
50 we become indifferent, and
when it reaches freezing point
we are heartless. An emotion
that does not attain the seventy
sixth degree is hardly worth re
cording. At summer heat the
rarest flowers begin to bloom,
and nature becomes poetic.
While the temperate is the
proper sphere for pure reason
and scientific observation, it is
rarely, if ever, proper for the
highest achievement in any art.
In the world of art, imagination
and feeling are not content with
a serenity that touches the hol
ders of indifference. The crea
tive instinct is never effective
unless at a certain pitch of en
thusiasm. It is the sharp, clear,
brilliant current of thought that
electrifies the brain. But an
idea is worthless unless we can
find a form to hold if. In the
best work idea, form and feeling
appear to the beholder as one.
An electric bolt seems a cold
thing, yet a stroke of lightning
will consume more at one flash

SILVER SACCHARINE BOXES.
<r\Vo don’t consume half the
sugar we used to." said a writer in
a city restaurant. ‘‘Everybody is
using saccharine.
“Saccharine, you see. lias none of j
the injurious effects of sugar. The
diabetic, the rheumatic, the alcohol
ic—all those whom sugar harms—■
can take saccharine with impunity.
“Hence by many of our most ex
tra vajjant feeders the sugar bowl is
never tackled. They take from
their pockets a tiny silver box and
drop into their codec a pellet of
saccharine no bigger than a pin
head. That doe- the business, you
know. Saccharine is nearly a hun
dred times sweeter than sugar.
“'Phe fashionable jewelers are
sidling little flat hovs like match
safes—silver saccharine boxes for
those who can’t take sugar.”

LINK WITH THE PAST.
Mrs. Julia Goodman, a portrait!
painter of note, died recently at
Brighton, England. Mrs. Goodman
was in her ninety-fifth year, and, j
among' other distinctions, had paint
ed the portrait of the eleventh earl
of Westmoreland, who had sat both ;
to Reynolds and Romney. Another
link in the past that Mrs. Goodman
recalled with interest was that as a ,
girl she was taken to see the re- ;
markable woman-warrior, Phoebe
Ilessel. then reported to he in her
one hundred and eighth year. A
year or two ago the London county
council rcnanml a street Ilessel
street in her honor. Mrs. Goodman
had seen Phoebe Ilessel, who fought
as a soldier at the battle of Fonte
noy in 1145, and who was reputed
1o have been born seven years be
fore (Juocn Anne died. Such an
arch of association is seldom formed
by two lives. She used to say—this
old Brighton apple woman—“Otln r
people die. and I cannot." But
whcmoer her recollections were
stirred up by inquiries she kindled,
and liked to tell how she kept the
secret ol her sex in the army. "L
told it to the ground. I dug a hole
that would hold a gallon, and whis
pered it there.' George l\. called
her a "jolly good fellow.”
PIE, PROGRESS AND PROMOTION,
Wither the sociologist nor the
politician will dismiss as unworthy
of earnest thought and subtle specu
lation the announcement that Sec
retary Cortelyou snatches a hasty
luncheon of pie and half-and-half
at a restaurant across the street
from the treasury building. In
the most plastic period of character
formation he attended the Massa
chusetts normal school at Westfield,
and applied himself diligently to
books that must have reminded him
that the pie eaters of New England
wrought mightily in the field and
followed the strenuous life. He
cannot have failed to be impressed
with the facts that a regiment of
.Marbleheaders covered the retreat
from Long Island and led the cross
ing of the Delaware. In Marble
head they are said to eat clam pie
for breakfast. Washington knew
what lie was about when he put a
regiment of pie'eaters in the van of
his advance and in the rear guard
in a retreat. 1 ’it*, progress and pro
motion all begin with P.
BRAVE GIRL!
The ship was sinking.
“A rocket !" bellowed the captain.
“My kingdom for a rocket!”
But the wild waves answered not.
Suddenly Nettie, the candy mill
girl, rushed forward.
“Here, captain/’ she said, dra
matically. “take my hairpin.”
“Your hairpin, little girl? What
use could I make of your hairpin?”
"It is celluloid. Light it and it
will prove to he a beacon.”
And the brave captain lit the
hairpin and saved the ship.
