THE NASSAU POST, FREEPORT, N. Y., FRIDAY, JULY 19, 1918 P*«e 8 ART V& BRICKS IN SYDNEY FIRST TEACHERS TO CHINA A Peculiar Controversy In AuetraMa That la Agitating Leber Circlet. H^rn la a nirtona point of law or logic prcacntefl In the Sydney (N. 8. W.) Bulletin. The mnalclann* union of Sydney charge* the Melbourne eight hour*' proceaalon with something like scabbing because It decided that union ists, even If they don't belong to the musicians' organization, may play In Its own ranks on the annual gala day. There are arguments on both sides. It seems hard that a union bricklayer shouldn’t be allowed to blow hla own comet In his own demonstration on a holiday, yet If he found a professional comet-player laying bricks on a Good Friday be might object. Of course the man In the procession Isn't playing for hire, but then It wouldn’t Improve things much If the cornet-player laid brlcka gratia. The bricklayer might argne that there are a certain number of bricks that must he laid, aq the comet- player would be doing another man out of a Job, while there Isn’t any fixed amount of mualc that must be blown, so an amateur might blow a sample or two without depriving any other man of a c r u s t And the brick layer probably aaya that the comet- player couldn’t lay brlcka decently If he tried, to which the comet-player possibly replies th a t the bricklayer can't make music. To some extent It Is a struggle be tween art and materialism. Music properly played la capable of arousing the highest and noblest emotions of which the soul is capable; a brick, even if properly laid, Isn't And soul Isn’t a thing to be lightly despised. But here the tangible bumps against the intangible. Nobody hns seen a soul, while almost everybody has seen a brick. Miasionarlsa Foils «d tbs Close of tye W ar With Great Britain In IMS. The first general attem |^ to Intro- luce Christianity Into Chinn dotes from April 24, 1845, when the Chinese government, following the disastrous War with Great Brltnln, granted per* mission to foreigners to tearh the Christian religion. Mlsslonarlea from many countries began Immediately to flock to China, but In most places the “white devlle\ were received with hos tility. The Emperor Tnou-Kwnng, who In the latter part of his reign favored the Introduction of European arts and religion, died In 1860, and his son, Hleng-Fung, adopted a reac tionary policy. One of the odd results of the Intro duction of Christianity In China was the appearance In 1861 of a rebel lead er who called himself Tlen-teh, and 1 who announced himself aa the restor er of the worship of the true god, Shang-tl, and derived many of his dog m as from the Bible. H e called him self the brother of Jeans, the second son of God and the monarch of all be neath the skies, and demanded uni versal eubmlaslon. Hi# Insurgent fol lowers called themselves Taeplngs, or i \Prince of peace,\ but the title wae utterly belled by their atrocious deeds. TO RECLAIM DISABLED MEN War la Teaching a Great Lesson as to Possibilities in This Impor- v tant Field. The reclamation of the energies of all the disabled of the nation may be taught by the exigencies of war, ac cording to Mnj. Horry E. Mock, M. R. C„ who In addressing the National League of American Pen Women, said: “There are In the United \ States 600,000 persons who have been dis abled In Industries—probably more than the total number of soldiers who will be disabled through this war— yet neither government nor Industry has hitherto made thorough effort to reclaim their energy. That is a great jesson this war has taught us, and when we have won it we shall find that, through deaths, a cessation of Immigration, and • other causes, we shall face a great shortage In the la bor market. We shall then turn our attention to the reclamation of all the disabled and thus our country will profit by the labor of all her sons and daughters.\ SMALL SUM FOR “ CAMILLE” Alexandre Dumae File Received Only |80 for Manuecrlpt of Great Story. In the Hotel Dronot recently, the library of Jules Claretle. the eminent French Journalist, novelist, dramatic author and former director of the Comedle Francalse, who died In 1016, was sold. Among other gems, his col lection of hooks Included the manu script of Alexandre Dumns Fils’ “Tale of a Lottery,\ sixteen pages In all, pub lished In 1851. The manuscript con tained a letter from Dumas to Jules Claretle, Informing the latter that for these sixteen pagvs he was paid the sum of J240. “I was almost »* much ashamed as I waa pleased.” writes Dumas, \to re ceive thi* amount. It was far more than I wns paid for my entire manu script of *La Dame snx Comelllaa,’ which I sold to Michel Levy f o r the sum of *80. This novel, which Michel Levy pur chased for $80, yielded the latter $100,- 080. Long after ne had signed It, Dumas regretted this contract which enriched big publisher at go gllght a profit to hlmgelf. QUAINT LEGEND OF ALSACE Race of Giants Who Sew Importance to Them of the Food Producers. There te n qnnlnt old legend of Al ia ce, recalls the Christian Science Monitor, concerning a family of giants who, once upon a time, lived In a cer tain caatle In the old country. The moral of the story aeems appropriate at a t|m e when the French minister of agriculture Is making special effort to encourage the cultivation of land. The giants lived, says the legend, far from the peasants of the plain, and one day the daughter of the house who, though quite a child, wae already 30 feet high, strolled toward the plain and saw n laborer peacefully plowing his field. She picked up the peasant, the horse nnd the plow, and put them In her pinafore and returned to the caatle to show what she had found to bier father. \What you think la but a toy,\ said the giant. “Is what produces the food which enables us to live. Put back the laborer and his horse where you found them.\ From that time on ward, adds the tale, the peasants were never molested by the giants. Buga In Francs. In the reign of Louis-Phlllppe, a Monsieur Terrat had been charged with the duty of fighting bugs In the barracks of Paris. It must be believed that the result was satisfactory, since by virtue of an order of the general Inspector contracts were made In 1846 with Monsieur Terrat for the destruc tion of these frightful Insects. Mon sieur T e rrat demanded 90 centimes for | tach sleeping room. In case the first fight with the bugs wes not decisive. Snd If he should hsve to begin again after some year*, the second operation should cost only 60 centimes a room. Moreover, In these operation* he de stroyed the Insects In the srms-rsck, guard house, police quarters and prisons. When he became old Mon- aletir Terrat offered to communicate the secret, to the state for an Indem nity. But this offer was not accepted. The serrql died with the proprietor. And that Is why the soldiers of today are yet atruggllng against the bug.— Le Crl de Paris.

One of the queer things about the nutmeg Is the romantic way In which nature thwarted the Dutch attempt to establish a complete monopoly of the spice. They own th e Banda islands, where most of the nutmeg trees grow, and at one time they wanted to pre vent everyone else fropi raising the spice. So to keep up prices and to Induce other planters on omer Islands to cut down their plantations the Dutch at one time burned three piles of nutmegs, each of them said to have been as big as an average church. They induced other planters to join with them and It soon seemed as though they were killing all competi tion. Then nature took a hand In the game. A large pigeon of the Islands, which was extremely fond of mace, carried the seeds to nil the surround ing lands, even to the mainland of Asia. Nutmeg trees began to grow wild in numerous places nnd all danger of a monopoly was removed.—Boston Post, ARTHUR WHITEHOUSE 91 South M a in S treet Freeport, N.
