PopuIaritv of High Glass Authors.

Talking the other day with a bookseller on
the subject of the popularity of the high class
authors. it was learned that Marion Craw-
ford has the largest sales and is bought al
most exclusively by cultivated people. Al.
though his books ara SL5O volume, the
demand for them is just as great. He has
sold about a half milli IN copies all told. But
50 for THE hnmortals" was little more
than people could staId, and that book has
languished in consequence. Henry James
has shrunk to one-third of his former popu-
larity, and Howells has fallen off perceptibly
since the publication of that dreary book,
The Minister'S Charge" Mrs Burnett sells
better than any other Of the women writer's
Craddoch next. Anna Katherine Green sells
fairly "She,n "Called Back,n and "The
Bread Winners are as dead as though they
had never been. Haggard is falling off in
popularity very rapidly. There is little de
mand for ''Mr. Nelson's Will" "The Lamp
lighter and "Uncle Toms Cabin" ''St. Ell
mon and ''The Wide, Wide World" still sell.
They will probably last as long as human na-
ture Harriet Beecher SCowe's books occa-
sionally sell in sets. 1.-The Wister Transla-
tionsn sell and are charged upn as Mrs.

but there is no demand for her books. She

When publishers agents go the rounds,
with their list of new books, the order is
something like this: ten copies of every au-

Barnes of New York bids fair to become a

Tho Lack OF srmnatbv.

We are practical people, and we have
no fiddle faddle sentiment about us. We
have no real friendships nowadays. We
must not get too deeply interested in
anybody, or if anything happens to him
or her we will perhaps suffer little pain,
and what's the good? Selishness is tho
first law of our modern life. Self sacri-
fee may still exist among women, but
women are weak things at best. Charity2
Give him $5; send him something to eat
that is dainty; 60 and knock on the door
and ask how he is, and then go off to your
fun. Affection? Say you arc sorry he
is sick, and forget all about him. Dead?
Poor fellow He was a good fellow and
1 am sorry he's gone. What card was that
you played2"
But perhaps, after all, there are some
eyes that the tears come to; somebody's s
hand grasps the sufferers and sends the
comfort of true sympathy through his
weakening frame; perhaps somebody sits
in a chair by the fire in the lonely room,
and fancies she sees him there, feels his
arms about her, hears his voice and pays
a tribute to him with a throbbing heart
Somewhere or another it may be, some
merry laugh stops half uttered, and some
body rises from the joyous party and
says: Il cannot play tonight; am not
we'll" But it is curious that the larger
the world grows the smaller the sympa-
thetic circle seems to get. THE more
friends man has the less real friendship
To be happy? 1t is to have one woman
who loves you to love, and one man who
trusts you to trust. - San Francisco

An Animal ramer,s cnurnrn.

A tiger named Athir escaped just before
the performance opened, scattering the as
sembled audience in all directions, sending
them in search of refuge to tree tops, house
tops, and into houses not their own. 1t is
one thing to beard tiger in his den, another
to fight him unar1ned in open air. But Bidel
was quite equal to this unexpected call upon
his skill and courage; he experienced "lemO-
tion de ladolescent a son premier duel;" his
only misgiving appears to have been whether
he would prove worthy of himself and those
waiting open mouthed for the coming fray
Presently n timid locker on mustered cour-
age enough to half open a window, and to
announce in whispers the whereabouts Of the
escaped beast The ''tigre royal" was in the
dark recesses of deserted locllsmith's shop.
Into this "gouffre d'ombren Bidel flung him
self; and, having become, as he says, famil-
lar with its obscurity, he espied the crouch
ing Athir in the act of springing, with foam
ing mouth and burning eye. The situation
was what is called critical-it was simply
question of who should spring first, tiger OF
man. Bidel happily took the initiative, and
bounded upon his prey. There was a tremen-
dous tussle-there were foamings, hashings,
howlings-but the dompteur triumphed. BIZ
del seized the tiger by the skin of his back,
and lifting him on his loins, thus bore his
heavy burden in triumph to his cage-n feat,
it must be confessed, not easy to realize,
much less to achieve. saturday Review.

A Warming.

The modes Of deaths approach are various,
and statistics show conclusively that more
persons die from diseases of the throat and
lungs than any other. It is probable that
every one, without exception, receives vast
numbers of Tubercle Germs into the system
and where these germs fall upon suitable
soil they start into life and develop, at first
slowly, and is shown by slight tickling
sensation in the throat and if allowed to con-
tinue their ravages they extend to the lungs
producing consumption, and to the head,
causing catarrh. Now all this is dangerous,
and if allowed to proceed will in time cause
death. At the onset you must act with
promptness, allowing cold to go without
attention is dangerous and may lose you your
life. As soon as you feel that something is
wrong with your throat, lungs or nostrils,
obtain bottle of Bochee's German Syrup.
It will give you immediate relief

it through in such exceptionally good style
that he was moved to make inquiries as to

ONE DAY AT A TIME

One day at q timel That's all it can be;
No faster than that Is the hardest fate,
And days have their limits, however we
Begin them too early and stretch them too late
One day at a time!
It's a wholesome rhyme
A good one to live by,
A day at a time.
One day at a timel Every heart that aches,
Knowing only too well how long they can SEEM
But it's never today which the spirit breaks
It's the darkened future, without a gleam.
One day at a timel What joy is at height
Such joy as the heart can never forget
And pulses are throbbing with wild delight,
How hard to remember that suns must set.
One day at a time But a single day,
Whatever its load whatever its length;
And there's bit of precious scripture to say
That, according to each, shall be our strength
One day at a timel 'Tis the whole of life;
All sorrow, all joy are measured thereini
The bound Of our purpose, our noblest strife,
The one only countersign sure to win
One day at a time
It's a wholesome rhymei
A good one TO live by,
A day at q time.
