Fashions In book collecting.

lLOnuOn Ddlly NeNS.l
No doubt there are fashions in book col
lecting. But the wise collector, especially
the poor man who collects, does not follow
fashions; he sets them. A fashion has been
started again and again by men like Monse-
let, Asselineau, Charles Nodier, and Paul
Lacroix. They were all men Of the pen; I;
they found some literary or artistic period in
the past congenial to them; they collected
its books and engravingS; they wrote about
them, and craze arose for possessing what
these judiciOus persons already possessed.
wild joy in the engraved illustrations of
the French school, from 1740 to 1870, has
long Iaged in France, and has invaded
England. These illustrations were scarcely
mentioned by Brunei in his early editions.
The richest and rarest thing Of Dorat and
Daborde lay neglected on the Quasis.
Lacroix, the Goncourts. and others brought
them into fashion. Asselineau did the same
for novels and poems by the Romantiques,
the writers of 1880. They, too, were outcasts
from the circulating libraries, and were per-
ishing in the four-penny-box. Books of
romance was restored by Scott. In an un-
published work Sir Walter tells odd tales Of
the enormous rise in black-letter romances,
ballads, books OF witheraft, and so forth,
which followed In his own revival of goblin,
ghost, and fairy. Meanwhile he had helped
himself pretty freely to what suited his
taste, while it lay neglected by amateurs of
''incurables" and first editions of the
classics. original quartos of Shakespeare, and
the tiny Molieres, that arose in the critical
taste of modern editors. They collected for
their legitimate literary purposes, and their
enthusiasm set the world Of more wealthy
amateurs on fire. In the early edition Of
Brunei the original separate copies Of
Moliere's comedies, for example, are scarcely
noticed, If they are noticed at all. The
labors of careful editors Of texts required
those books. They hunted for them. and
the rich amateurs followed. baying loudly on
the trail which scholars had opened.

sary Of Hebron Academy commenced on
Sunday last, Rev. ]. H. Parshley. of Damar-
iscotta, preaching the Baccalaureate sermon,
an able and practical discourse.
On Monday evening the class Of 's7 held
their first reunion. Sixteen Of the twenty
four members were present and enjoyed a
good literary programme and a social even
ing together.
The graduating exercises were held Tues
day afternoon at 2 o'clock. Elaborate prep
arations had been made for holding the ex-
ercises on the campus, the church being far
too small to contain the numbers that usual
ly gather. Frequent showers in the fore
noon rendered the grounds unfit for USE The
first half OF the programme was carried out
in the church but the weather appearing
more favorable the exercises were completed
out Of doors. All the parts were of an un-
usually high order and were well presented.
The yaedictory by 0rissa w. Gould, of Free
port, was especially deserving Of praise.
The diplomas were presented by Hon. p.
Bonney, Of Portland, president Of the Board
Of Trustees. After the ode short address
was made by Rev. DIR. Thomas, of Newton
Theological Seminary.
Among the guests were B. f. Sturteyant,

Fuller and family, Of Boston; Rev. DIR.
Thomas. of Newton; Mr.. Mclaughlin, Great
Forks, Dakota; Rev. DIR. Small, former

Red-Headed Girls and White Horses

lAmeflcdn N0teS ana QuerleS.l
The popular jest about the necessary con-
tiguity of red-headed girls and white horses
is by no means modern, though in its recent
revival it has swept over the country as
novelty. Some of us remember that our
grandfathers used jocularly to assert it to
the wondering ears Of youth as a well-attest-
ed fact In all likelihood the saying to ok it
origin in the old English game called some
times the game of the road" but more
often ups and downs" which is still a fav-
men in Great Britain. One party takes the
up side Of the street or road, and the
other down." counting one for every ordi-
nary object and five for white horse Ia pie
bald counting as white) until certain num-
ber agreed upon, carries of the victory, but
red-headed woman or q donkey wins the
game at once.
Another explation refers the phrase to a
North of Ireland Superstition that the sight
of a red-headed girl brings ill-luck to the be-
holder unless he retrace his steps to the
starting point but if he sees white horse
at any point on his backward progress the
spell is ipsO fdcto averted. In,the midlands
counties OF England, on the other hand,
1t is ill-luck to meet a white horse with
out splitting at it. In Wexford an
odd cure for whooping cough Is sug-
gested by current superstition: The pa
tient tiudges along the road until he meets
piebald horse, and shouts out to the rider /:
'Hello, man on the piebald horse, what is
good for the whooping cough?" and no mat
ter how absurd the remedy suggested, he
will certainly be cured. In Scotland to
dream of white horse foretells the coming
of letter.

Absalom and Judas Thus Rosalind (com-

PRACTICE SCHOOL GRADUATES.
Rev. Mr.. panieIs's Address on Teach
Ing and the Teacher.

Ii must have been source Of much plea
sure to the seven young ladies who have fin
ished their work in the practice school to
have the presence of so many friends at their
graduating exercises last evening. The pro-
gramme, too, was decidedly well arranged
and equally well rendered. 1t included some
of the very best of Portland's local talent,
and the numerous encores were proof of its
appreciation. The duets of Mrs. Chase and
Mrs. Farley were sung in meritorious man.

we'll rendered. His voice was in excellent
condition and his numbers revealed all its
richness.
Miss Mary O'Brien's impromptu selections
on the piano were exquisite and argued her
perfect mastery of the keyboard. The whole
musical part of the entertainmentswas some
thing of which the graduating class are
proud, and justly so.
In opening the exercises Rev. Mr.. Dunn
said: at is now ten years since the Portland
Practice School was organized. sugges-
tion having been made in the annual report
that such class would be helpful, in Sep
tember. 1878, the first one was elected by the
school board and placed under the instruc-
tion of Miss Sarah NJ. Taylor and its success
is well known.
Prayer was then offered by Rcv. Mr. Frost,

He spoke as follows:

at Chebeague, but 1t was found that through
some misunderstanding Of the manager Of

shoot took place there. Some excellent shots
were made, the winner Of the first prize,
Corporal Jose, obtaining "a out of possible

the second.
Al the conclusion of the shoot. the Emita

was reached at o'clock. The company
marched to the armory, where they were
dismissed, and the shoot and field day for
