SECRET OF FRENCH CULTURE Vibrating Balance Between Head and Heart at Top Speed, Is Deduction of Magatine Writer. Intensely ulive. Is the chief lmpres- slon one Ims of the Frencli, writes John Galsworthy In the Atlantic. They balance between head and heart ut top speed In u sort of electric mid eternal see-saw. It Is this perpetual quick change which gives them, It seems to me, their s|H*chd grip on actuality; they never Ay Into the cloud regions of theories mill dreams; their bends have not time before their hearts have inter vened, their hearts not time before their heads cry, "Hold!" They appre hend both worlds, but with such rapid alternation that they surrender to neither. The secret of French culture Iles In this vibrating balance; from quick marriage of mind, mid heart, reason and sense, In the French nature, all the clear created forms of French life arise, forms recognized ns forms with definite utility attached, Controlled expression Is tlie result of action mid reaction. Controlled expression Is the essence of culture, because It alone makes a sufficiently clear appeal in n world which Is Itself the result of the Incalculable Interplay of complemen tary or diml laws and forces. French culture Is near to the real heart of tilings, because It has a sort of quick sanity that never loses Its way; or. when it does, very rapidly re covers the middle of the road. The Serious Side. The summer Is past, the harvest nt Its end. What have you to show for your work! The days speed quickly, and "going to do It tomorrow” docs not get deeds done. “Work today," "do It now." nre trite mottoes, but use ful admonition. Cloudy ami chilly days come occa sionally, reminding one that another season Is nt Its close. What have you gained from your summer days! Is your hotly stronger, your mind fuller of stored knowledge, your soul grown to wider appreciation of the true things of lite? Are you more human, more charitable? Have you n better understanding of the rights nml needs of men? What memories hove you stored up for future reflection during the long winter nights? Recreation nml entertainment have their rightful place In life, but serious thought must till the mind or one will not grow. Not to advance means de cay, death.

F„ recently, says n correspondent. The Journey covered about 750 miles over a route never before traveled by white num and was made more difficult by the fact that the five Indians who were taken along ns guides proved to be unfamiliar with the country. Tlie party Included E. B. C. Todd, curator of ornithology In the Carnegie museum; <>. .1. Marie, curator of mam mals in the same Institution, and Al fred Marshall of Chicago. They left Seven Islands bay on the north side of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, about the etui of May and traveled north by canoe and portages, reach ing Fort Chimo. near Urgnva buy, Ali gust 22. In addition to mapping tile country, they studied its natural hls- tory.
