Cohen, . capitalist, resided. Kassky
kept . little stuly shop ct S96 Sixth

calling he took . turn in the fresh air
and gathered up old garments to be

Realism in Fiction.

at requires q great deal more imag-
ination to write a realistic novel than
to write q fairy-talc; because the OBJ
ject of a realistic story is not to repeat
common things, but to interest people
in common things. not to create UNI
common things, but to show people
that common things are not by any
means SO embarrassing as they seem
at first sight. The realistic writer
must see, not new things, but new
qualities in things; and to do that. he
must have plentyof Imagination. Those
whom you call sold-fashioned writer's
imagined that they must describe the
thoughts and looks and clothes and
actions of q princess, or some creature
out of the range Of everyday life: but
the realistic writers have discovered
that the thoughts and clothes and
looks and actions Of a little beggar-girl
can be made just as interesting to peo-
pie, IL you can sec sUhdt is unseen about
them with your minds eye. Now,
which would you say had really the
nobler Imagination man who went
into his library and wrote q remark
able poem about the golden apples Of
the Hesperides, that were pure crea-
tions of his fancy, or Sir Isaac Newton
when he went and sat down under q
common apple-trec, and set his imagt.
nation to work to find ont what mads
the apple fall to the ground! The
realistic writer is satisfied with the
everyday applc-tree-that is quite Ger
tain; but here is your mistake about
him, he isn't satisfied with telling you
that the apples fell; he shows You how
they fell, and what q great, beautiful.
wonderful law of the universe caused
them to fall; and he makes you feel
that the law was all the more beautiful
and wonderful for not applying mere
ly to one particular apple, Or wen to
the whole class of apple-trecs, but to
everything.
IA little while ago you spoke Of one
Of Mr.. Howclls's heroines who tried to
do something and couldn't. 1 suppose
you mean the poor rich girl who lost
all her money, and found that all her
fine education did not help her a bit
when it came to earning her living.
Now if Mr.. Howells had merely meant
by that to show girls how absurd il
was for them to try to do anything, il
would have been q very cruel story;
but I think he merely meant to show
the parents what scrappy sort of edu.
cation they were giving their dauga
tiers, with all the money they wGrt
spending for it."-Alice Welingto.

1.-TWO months ago there arrived at
the mansion an old gentleman bearing
letters from my master in London, the
purport Of which was to obey his every
wish and to keep his presence q secret
to all except those to whom he saw ct
to reveal himself. Within q week per.
sons began to arrive at the house in

from the way I talked that I knew all,
that my suspicious were verified, only
my informant said Brigham Young

~ reason for telling these facts is thatI

The old man told the story with q
sincerity that warranted further inves-
tigation, and a merchant who formerly
did business in Salt Lake City drove
out to the mansion this afternoon and.

OF the two great bronze statues in
Japan the largest is near the ancient
City of Nara, near the beautiful Lake
Biwa, a port Of Japan that compare
lively few travellers visit. 1t is inside
Of a temple 1856 feet high, 290 feet
long, and 40 feet wide, and was cast
in the year 749, after eight unsuccess-
full attempts. The figure is that of
Buddha, and is seated c~ross-lcgged, as
he is always shown, SO that were tho
figure standing it would be very near
ly twice as high. Seated in this posi-
ton, with the right hand uplifted, the
palm outward, and the finger tips on q
line with the shoulders, this quaint
bronze is fifty-threc feet in hight above
its rather Low and unimportant pedcs-
tai. The figure has seen many acci-
dents, such as fires and earthquakes.
and has lost its head ON two occasions
from the former cause, the present n
being very ugly on account of the dark
color of the bronze, the broad nostrils,
and the swollen look that the designer
has given the cheeks. 1t is supposed
to be Buddha in attitude of deep con-
temptation, a very favorite one for
showing him in. The plates of bronze
are from six to ten inches thick, and
after being soldered together have been
chiseled smooth. The face is sixteen
feet long, nine and q half feet wide,
and the width of the shoulders is twen-
ty-nine feet. There are 966 curls on
the head, and behinditis a huge wood
en- halo heavily gilded and nearly
eighty feet in diameter. This image
weighs 45O tons, and the records show
that 500 pounds of gold and nearly
1900 pounds Of mercury were used
with the tin and copper which make
the bronze of which it is constructed.
Second in Importance, SO far as size
goes, but really much better known
figure, and in most ways more import
ant than that Mt Nara, is the great
Buddah at Kamakura, about fifteen
miles from Yokohama. 1t is seated in
the open air near q small and prettily-
situated temple, and its huge head can
be seen for some time through the
tree-tops as one approaches. The atti-
tude is more graceful and comfortable
than that of tho figure at Nara, and
the face wears a very gentle and placid
expression, the idea Of deep thought
being remarkably we'll attained. This
figure is forty-nine feet even inches
high, has a circumference Of over
ninety-seven feet Mt the base, the face
is eight feet five inches long, the nose
three feet nine inches, and each thumb
is three feet around. In the center Of
the forehead is a bump Of wisdom ten
inches high. The eyes are Of pure
gold, and it is said that the records
show that 1900 pounds Of that precious
metal were contributed to the smelling
pots while it was being cast. At pres
emit a beautiful temple, to cost about
$4,000, is being built over the figure
There is also q bronze Buddha in one
of the parks at Toxic, the japanese
Capital, which is twenty-one feet 81,
inches in hight-Paladelphio Times
