The disposition to separate the read
ing of the young from the reading of
the mature is of very modern develop
! ment. and it has resulted in the creation
Of distinct order of books, magazines,
and papers. Not only has there been
great industry in authorship, but great
industry also in editorial work. The
classes of literature has been drawn upon
not so much through selection as through
adaptation.
Great works, whose greatness lay
much in their perfection of form. have
been diminished and brought low for
the use of the young. The accumu-
lation of this great body of reading
matter-we can scarcely call it litera-
ture-has been largely in consequence
of the immense addition of the reading
population caused by the extension of
the common-school system. When the
children Of a nation are taken at the age
of 8 or 6 and kept eight or ten years at
school, and this schooling becomes the
great feature of their life, dominating
their activity and determining the char
acter Of their thought, it is natural
that books and reading should be largely
accessory, and that the quality of the
audience should largely affect the kind
of speech which is addressed to it. In
a general way this great horde of young
readers in America has created large
number of special writers for the young,
and both readers and writer's have been
governed by the American life which
they lead.
Now the textbooks in reading which
have prevailed in our schools have come
under this influence an influence per-
suasive and unstudied, rather than acute
and determined. The quantitative and
not the qualitative test has been re-
garded. Byno preconcerted signal, but
in obedience to the law Of their social
and literary life, the makers of reading
books began to disregard English stand
ards and to fill these books with the
commonplace of their own writing and
that of those about them.
They lost their sense of literature as
fine art and looked upon it only as an
exercise in elocution and the vehicle
for knowledge, or, at the highest, for
ethics and patriotic sentiment. They
lost also their apprehension Of the power
of great literature in it's wholes and
made their books collections of frag-
ments. There are two facts which sing
ularly characterize tire condition of tie
popular mind under tfsis regime-first,
that literature is relegated to the higher
grades as something to be studied, and,
secondly, that the newspaper is advo-
Gated as readingbook in schools. So
remote h4s literature como to be in the
popular conception.

GEORGE WILLIAM CURTIS ON BUF-
FdLO BILL.

No one who sees the "Wsld West
Show" can wonder that Buffalo Bill
deeply impressed our English cousins.
The old Viking and Berserker survives
in John Bull. A certain savage strain
fingers in his tastes, which Taine sensi-
lively apprehended. His prize-fghts
and Mohawk rioting, his tiger and ele-
plant hunting, his excursions to shoot
buffalo and grisly bears, are in one view
manly sports, and in another brutal sur
yivals. Then Mayfair in London is
sated. 1t has exhausted every resource
of costly luxury. It is jaded, and the
sudden appearance of living Indians,
and the life of the for West as it is act
ually seen, was an agreeable shock Of
surprise: aud gave it real emotion.
The only serious objection to the ex-
hibition that the Easy Chair has heard
is that which was urged almost with
fearful earnestness by one of the most
reasonable and excellent of women. 1t
is pitiful ana wicked, she said. that just
as hopeful effort is made to interest
the intelligent country i'll the civiliza-
ton of the Indian. his squalid savagery
should be made u circus spectacle to de-
grade him in the minds of the people,
and to stimulate all the worst dime
novel tastes and tendencies among boys.
But the good critic did not speak from
observation or knowledge. Had she
seen the spectacle she would have dis
covered that the Indian was not de-
graded in her mind by showing himself
as he is. Indeed, the performance is
merely like one OF his own games upon
the plains, and he does not lose in
dignity. On the contrary, the spectacle
leaves probably q more accurate i'm
preston of the Indian than can be
gained except by visit to the plains.
| Certainly the effect supposed by the
CRITICS. not produced, and it is not at
all of the kind injurious to the colored
| people which is due to the Ethiopian
MINISTRIES. 1t is. indeed, the raw mate
rial OF the Indian that is seen, and not
! that which has been already influenced
in degree by civilization. But no one
seems to hold sounder or humaner views
of the Indian, or Of the duties that we
owe him, and the manner in which they
should be discharged, than Buffalo Bill.

ANzI-PYR1NE IN sEA-s1CKNEss.


At late meeting of the doctors of
France at Marseilles, part Of the pro-
gram was an excursion 20 Algiers;
and before they ssiled, one among them
announced the preventive virtues of
anti-pyrine in sea-sickness., sNow,"
said he, there is an opportulity to test
its value in way rarely occurring.
Here are hundred and fifty doctors of
us gong to sea, not one Of whom is a
sailor. Let lis all take the drug, sail
across the middle sea. like veterans, and
enjoy oesr little trip like old SALTS
Adopted. So every doctor armed
himself with capsules Of anti-pyrine. and

and in half an hour afterwards that So
ciety, without exception, was laits out.
They stuck manfully to the remedy, de-
tel7nined to give it fair play but when
they landed IN the morning, dragged
out, dilapidated-looking. set, the vote
that; anti-pyrine was miserable de-
lhsion in se1s-sickness, passed by Large
vote-a strictly unanimous one.
AS temporary relief for sick Head
ache, it has considerable valve; but it is
as cliIoral, ard even more seductive.
ALI these drugs have about the same
biography. They come with Trumpet
blasts and Eaat of drum, heraldaal rs

it that their mind which comes to the

.AS TO H.4ND-NH LYING,

The Baltimore Ne,rs is disposed to
look upon the custom of Misunderstanding,
especially in the case of public men, as
an unmitigated nuisance and imposition
practiced upon prominent citizens by
the public.
This is sentiment to which the
American people are by no means ready
to subscribe. No man gets anything
for nothing if he lives honestly in this
world; and the penalty of having his
hand half shaken off by his admiring
countrymen is a part of the return made
by the public man as the price of his
fame.
The practice of hand shaking is par
ticularly appropriate in this country. 1t
is the pledge of fraternity, equality,
friendship. 1t has knightly origin
and is full Of significance.
Viewed in the right light, moreover,
hand-shaking is really an aid to it's sup
posed victim the man in public life
lake public reception, for instance,
where it is necessary for one dis
tinguished man to greet from one to two
thousand people-by no means an I'M
common occurrence. There is no other
way in which that number of people can
be personally greeted as through the
medium Of the hand-shake. It is neither
necessary nor customary to converse
with the successive individuals in the
crowd as they file past. Simply grasp
OF the hand and friendly glance to one
and all. What could replace this Gus
tom? A mere inclination of the head
as each individual passed would grow
ridiculously monotonous and would
cause the distinguished citizen to re-
semble iointed doll, much to the peril
of his dignity.
Suppose the arm of the public SER
want does ache once in while. If it
did not pay him to allow the people to
put it in that condition he would not
continue the practice.
The people continue the habit be-
cause unconsciously they recognize in it
type Of the fraternity, independence
and self-respect which leads the ave.age
citizen to hold himself, at heart, not be-
meath the most distinguished man ex-
taalt.-At6day Empress.

THEeafExI0iaY COURT-YARD.


When one hearssef houses built around
court they involi1ntarily think of some
thing Oriental; and magnificent, with
cool areades, palm trees and splashing
fountains. But as: matter of fact these
Mexican houses, though frequently pic
turesqne, are anything but pleasant. The
arcadss are Impressive and pretty
enough by moonlight, but the fountain.
except in rare instances, doesn't plasA,
it only creaks and gloans, because it is
not a fountain at all, but we'll, with

REro1gTION IN VENEZUELA.

\ nv OAtC AAOV IN YEN EZCELA
Over the whole of Venezuela hangs
an impending cloud of revolution and
anarshy, casting far in advance shadows
of financial and personal uneasiness~
Guzn,an Blanco is away in France, but
his spirit is stal feared and the coming
presidential election is regarded as g.
sure signal for disturbance.
AS leading merchant said to me to-.
day: ct is not possible to have matters
worse-any change will be welcome. ;"
Perhaps ;.but to an American, change
involving bloodshed, general anarchy,
and years of national retrogression,
would be worth avoiding at any sacrifice.
What 1 said in these columns last year
has come true, ani'it is sad thing for
Venezuela that GuEman Blanco's tired
hands have laid down the rsins of State.
Government House, the official resi-
dence of the President, faces q little
square; a eommodious' building of white
stone, where was, presented to His
Excellency, President Jose M. Ernaza-
bel, who rules the great State of Boil

courteous gentleman Of liberal educa-
