How Much Can a Man Readp

The longest single poem, l believe
extant, is an Italian poem, thu
" Adone" of Marini, who lived in tho
time of our James l. 1t contains 49,.
600 lines. As for Spain, one single an.
thor of the seventeenth century, Lone
de Vega, wrote 1880 plays; his works
altogether fill forty-seven quarto vol.
umes. Alfonso Tostado, a Spanish Bisb.
op of the fifteenth century, wrote nearly
forty folios, having covered with print
three times as many leaves as he had
lived days. To come to England. Our
William Prynne wrote 200 different
works. Chalmers collected edition Of
the English poets only comes down to
Cowper, who died in 1900, and it fills
twenty-one volumes, royal Svo, double
columns, small type. The volumes av.
erage 700 pages. This gives a total Of
IA, 700 pages, or 29,4OO columns. Now
ittakes-I have made the experiment.
four minutes to read column with fair
attention. Here is good years work
in reading over, only once, u selection
from the English poets. The amount Of
reading which a student can get though
in given time hardly admits of being
measured by the ell. The rate of read
ing varies with the subject,
he rapid glance with which we skim the
columns of a newspaper being at one
end of the scale, and the slow sap which
is required for a page of, say, Rants
"Critique of Pure Reason" being at the
other. Still, just to get something to-
90 upon, make calculation in this way:
Suppose man to be able to read eight
hours day. No one can really sustain
receptive or critical attention to written
matter for eight hours. But take eight
hours as the outside possibility. Thirty
pages $40 is an average hours read.
taking one book with another. This
would make 24O pages per day, 1850
per week, and 1880 pages in the year.
Taking the average thickness of an Svo
volume as 400 pages only, the quantity
of reading which a diligent student can
get over in year is no more than an
amount equal to about 900 volumes Svo.
OF course this is merely mechanical
computation, by which we can not pre-
tend to gauge mental processes. BUTT
may be worth while knowing that the
merely mechanical limit of study is some
22O volumes Svo per annum.-Fort.

WAR NEWS.

Turkish advices of the 4th were to the
effect that Russian attack on kamasli haa
been repulsed with great loss to the assaii-
ants. The Turks also claimed to nave Sc
cured decided advantages In u fight near
Tirnoya. In which the Russian loss was esti-
mated at 5000. Their own losses were not
stated. This news came from Constantine
pie direct.
Turkish official dispatches OF the 9th
state that Suleiman Pasha has captured
Ilgana, with II guns, 30 ammunition-wagons,
and 800 prisoners.
A Constantinople dispatch OF the 9th
says: One Turkish division has crossed the
LON, taken Popkoi, and is marching in the
direction Of Verboca. Another Turkish Ill
vision is only three hours march from III.
nova. The Russians admit the capture OF
Ilgana, and acknowledge heavy losses, after
stubborn resistance.
Dispatches of the 9th state that Sulel-
man Pasha is making strenuous Efforts 10
relieve Plevna, and hopes to force the with
drawal of enough Russian troops to enable
Osman Pasha to get out. In Asia the turks
have evacuated BatOum, and the iall OF
Erzeroum is daily looked for, as reinforce
ments can not now reach Mukhtar Pasha'
English Intervention in behalf Of Turkey Is
again the current rumor in London.
A brief telegram from Bucharest
10th, announces the fall of Plevna on the
previous day, Sunday. The Turkish garrl-
son, who were dying of hunger and cold,
having abandoned all hope of relief, at
tempted to cut their way out III
the direction of Widdin. They were
surrounded by the victorious enemy, but
fought bravely until their commander, os-
man Pasha, was stricken down wounded,
when he put an end to further slaughter by
surrendering his sword. All accounts award
great bravery to Osman Pasha and his troops.

A National Savings Bond.

The Secretary of the Treasury, in his
annual report, makes the following rec
ommendation:
The attention of Congress is called to the
great value to our felow-citizens OF the Or
ganization of some plan for the collection,
safe keeping, and profitable employment OF
small deposits by the people. How far this
can be done without trenching upon the
proper functions of the State Gov
ernments is question Of difficulty; yet ills
important to secure, if possible, q general
system throughout the United States. This
can hardly be effectedb by the organization ola
multitude of savings banks depending upon
the fidelity, integrity, and skill Of their ON
GERS, but the beneficial object of such banks
might be secured by authorizing the deposit
of small sums with any postal money-order'
office in the United States, and the issue OF
Government certificates, convertible on de-
mand of the holder into 4 per cent. bonds OF
the United States of such character, descrip'
ton, and amount as will enable and induce
prudent persons to convert their earnings
into public security of stable value. The
money thus received could be employed IN
the redemption of outstanding bonds bear
ing higher rate of Interest. by
some such system it is be-
leved that the great body of our public
debt, reduced to its smallest possible bur-
den, could be distributed among our own
people. With a slight modification OF ex'
isting law this beneficial result would be Sc
cured. The deposits now held by savings
banks throughout the country amount 70
SS43, 154 1904, deposited by 2,3OO,OOO per-
sons, and mostly by deserving citizens, VINO
thus wisely seek to preserve small savings
for future need. No object could more
strongly appeal to the considerate judgment
of Congress. The heavy losses that nave
been sustained through savings-banks''
whose funds have been improvidently loan
ed on insufficient security, have inflicted lar'
greater injury upon the depositors than
would a similar loss suffered by persons en-
gagged in banking or commercial pursuits.
The Secretary, therefore, recommends tna'
authority be granted to issue certificates loi
small deposits, convertible into 4 per cent
bonds now authorized by law, the proceeds
to be used solely for the redemption of bonus
bearing higher rate Of interest, and now
redeemable at par.
The Comptroller of the Currency also
discusses the subject, and says:
The French Government issues small cou-
pOn-bonds, or rentes, in denominations ~
low as 100 francs, or about $40, for the con-
venience of those who desire to invest Their
failures Of savings banks throughout tnis
country, having on deposit large amounts Oh
the peoples earnings, has suggested inc
propriety and policy of the issue by .he
Government Of 4 per cent. bonds Of de-
nomination less than so. There i but niue
doubt that the savings Of the people womb
be largely invested in such bonds, proNioeu
they could be readily negotiated by inS
holders, when desired, without mA'er'Ah
los

IT is said that the House Committee
on Elections, as result of their delib-
erations on the Colorado case, at first
agreed, Z to 4, to report in favor of a
new election. Party pressure on both
sides was brought to bear, however,
with the effect of bringing all the DEM
ocrats to agree in favor of Patterson,
and all the Republicans, with one ex-
ception, in favor Of Belford. Gen. Cox,
of Ohio, stood out in favor of a new
election, and so reported.
