Maurice Maeterlinck, the B.dginn
poet aud writer, is no enemy to pir-
ituaitam. iKelarin^ thai he hail "an
open mind." h • said he was giving
it uiudi thought and thought well of
it.
"In my lectures." |>e snid. "I will
give lo the American people the llrsl
scientific proofs of the* exist'lice of
an immortal soul."
He gave as one "proof" the fact
thai .Vi years ago two l.erwian pro-
fessors dia<o\ered a find in 'lie hu-
man laxly "which could be guarded
in a bottle after death and which did
not die." He also expressed the be-
lief that thought is antecedent U tin-
brain and creates brain, drawing
from this the conclusion that thought
cannot die, even should the brain
perish.
"Th • common belief that thought
is only a secretion of the brain is
false," said (he philosopher, who
gave as still further reason for his
belief in an undying soul examples
to prove the endless existence of a
subconscious mind.
Maeterlinck has the greatest ad-
miration for Sir Oliver Ixalge, who,
since the death of his iton, has be-
come a stanch believer in spiritual-
ism. "I accept generally his theo-
ries," he said, "but I reserve to my-
self the right to study these things
further."

USE OIL AFTER SHAVING.
The editor of this paj>er adopted
the suggestions contained in an arti-
cle published here a few weeka ago
about oiling the face after shaving,
and begs to report the results:
If two or three drops of olive oil
be rubbed into the face after shav-
ing, there will be no danger of in-
growing hairs, rough skin or tender-
ness going out into the cold. And
the next day the beard will be softer
and more easy to shave close without
cutting or scratching the skiu.
Two or three drops are enough,
and the smell of the oil may be dis-
guised by mixing a few drops of
good perfume with the oil in a bottle.

PARIS NO LONGER SUPREME.
One of the interesting and very
worthwhile developments brought
about by the war is the progress that
American designers in women's ap-
parel have made. It is believed that
in the years to come American and
foreign designers will merely ex-
change ideas, each contributing
about an equal share, and that day
is pretty well past with Paris as the
iupreme dictator and America mere-
ly as copyist, or at best able to re-
adapt.
CHINA RAISES COTTON.
The government of China has
been encouraging the cultivation of
cotton and, notwithstanding the ad-
verse weather conditions of the past
year, the yield amounted to nearly
70,000,000 pounds, while in 1913
the crop was but half this amount.
