A Readers Complaint.

have never wished that l had been
born in some other century than the
nineteetth. Our age, II not pictur-
esque one--and think il has its pictur-
esque aspec,s--is. without doubt, the
most comfortable to live in, take It on
the whole, the world has vet known. It
seeps to me that persons Of rational
nina and humane disposition cannot be
too thankful to belong TO 1t, for it is
had to see how such persons could ever
have enjoyed life in earlier times as wo
Of ne latest days can. The world has
cerninly gone forward, and the feature
Of lie progress that chiefly rejoice In
is III advance in humanity. The elder
worh--the world but very little elder
than our own--was such terribly cruel
onel The only objection to living in the
present time that know of Is the in-
creased quantity of thing one must
know, Or would like to know. Eigh-
teenth. dntury people didn't have to read
Lecky's history Of their times In four
volumes, or a-hundred thousand other
books it now seems obligatory upon all
cultivated penons to acquaint them
selves with. Nwajays one is required
to read small library every year, II
ono would have even smattering Of
knowledge on th various subjects that
invite an intelligent mans interest. Tha
specialists, in thoabundance of whom we
glory, carry Investigations so far for
ward. each in hi own line, that the gen
eral reader cann6 hope to do more than
accept numbs Of things at second
hand, or be COMMIT to have no under
standing Of thet at all. It Is hard to
resign ones selto ignorance Of so many
interesting matters. and yet that is what
one seems dripn to. One finds that the
first thing ttlearn is ''how much need
not be knowa' which is perhaps sort
Of sour grapi wisdom, but apparently
the only wilson, obtainable. e.--Aflantic.

The Coming American Journal.

The newspaper that fulfills the high.
est functions Of journalism must be
owned by tho men who make it. The
most threatening evil of current Journal.
ism Is the hidden hand Of outside cspi-
talists, laid upon it to shape its opinions
and manipulate its views. II this evil
gains ground, as seems snevitable, in an
age when q rage for money-getting has
taken possession Of the mass OF intelli.
gent minds and obscured higher aims,
the remedy will be found on joarnals OF
opinion. The costly work Of news gath
ing may be left to the papers
which control large capital, while
the public turns for aggressive and can
did views on the events and issues OF the
times to small and cheaply-made sheets
which are under no obligations to stock
holders. In France there Are scores Of
successful journals which make no effort
at cover ing the field of the worlds news.
They are organs Of opinion only. Each
is the production Of q group OF original
minds, and each represents the general
ideas of segment Of French political
or industrial life. There are indications
that such q phase Of journalism is ap-
preaching in this country.-E Y. Small

MFR. OryiS' Views.

''How does this hotel season compare
with last" we inquired of Mr.. Orvis the
proprietor of the Putnam, on yesterday.
Better than last-a great deal better
my books show an excess Of three hun
dred arrivals over last season up to date
and l have no reason to think my
neighbors have Jared any worse"
''Will the season hold longer than usual
this year,
Il think so, you see, the Lenten period
is earlier this year, and a great many
northern people don't cut loose from
home society until Lent is upon them
and then they pack up their trunks anG
seek recreation in travelling"
do you think the season will extend
to May
II think so, the accounts of snow anC
ice up north are not comfortable reading
to people here who are inhaling the per
fume of orange blossoms" Yes, you
may take it for granted, the season will
extend up to May, if not longer.

and hundreds of honorable gentlemen
stand ready to attest the wonderful cura-
