enabled me to provide the good things of
life for myself and those dear to me,

She who marries for support alone, oR she
who pursues an art only for the money in 1t,
is unworthy of either happiness or success.
l have recently been asked whether 1t
was necessary to have the same number or
syllables in each rhyming line of poem.
There is no imperative law regarding Or
binary rhythm, save thatssth corresponding
lines il each stanza shall be of correspond
ing length and similar accent.
For instance, take the following stanza:
Keep out of the past; it is lonely
And bleak to the view.
Its fires have grown cold and its stories are old;
Turn, turn to the present-the new.
Now the first line co ntains eight syllables
with a two-syllabled word-''lonely," as the
end-and 1t is accented on the second and
seventh syllables.
The second line contains five syllables ac-
cented on second and fifth.
The third a double rhyme, the fourth
eight syllables.
Now this follows no rule or LAWS
written to please my own fancy, which any
poet has a right to do. But II l write ten
stanzas more-I will be no poet If | do not
carefully adhere to the rules have made
for the first stanZa. Each first line of the
following ten stanZas must contain eight
syllables with the same accent ar the two
syllabled ending. Each second line five,
each third line the double rhyme. There
no rule is observed and where all sorts Of
liberties are taken, but these require mas
ter genius, or else they result in a mere con-
glomeration of words.
The ''born" poet too can make use of GER
tain constructions and extra syllables even,
which do not mar his verse but rather add
| to it like grace notes in some music. Let
! the mechanical poet beware of attempting
it, for though he counts his numbers, and
seems to follow the same rule of mo rule,

AMEL1E R1vEs' NEW NOVEL.
The "white Slave" May Be In It's Way
Book Like Uncle Toms Cabin"
From the Chicago Tribune.

From the Chicago Irt0tne.
Mrs Chanler has become greatly i'm
pressed by the evil of child labor. and ere
many months a novel will come from her
pen which cannot fail to rouse the public.
1t may not exert the vast Influence which
history and tradition ascribe to Mrs.
Stoves "Uncle Toms Cabin. nbut that it
will be work OF remarkable power ia
obvious from what Mrs. Chanler her
self says of it. "In it," she says,
81 am pouring out my heart. l only
hope to be able to do some good When
he learned that was willing to make child
slavery the topic of a novel, Prof. Ely of
Johns Hopkins University kindly sent me
material by the bushel At first he sent
novels and ESSAYS. Il don't want novels,
wrote him, but facts. Send me facts aud
figures He did SO. and oh, if you could
only go through there and read of the
drudgery, the suffering, the blighted lives,
wasted bodies, and worse, you would not
wonder that l feel as deeply in the working
children of our country as | do. The fac
tories, the tenements, the novels, the bru-
tality of oYerseers, and their more terri
bic crimes l have before me. / have
page after page Of facts which burn
their way into the brain and soul like this
ono OF child lying i'll from over wora and
exhaustion in a room wherein the thermom-
eter indicates l15 degrees My book will be
horrible, horrible, but it will surely do some
good think / shall call it The White
slave A Virginia overseer, relic of the
days Of negro slavery, goes to the city to
earn bread for himself and family. He
falls sick, and is compelled to send his little
daughter out to work in a factory. She
becomesa white slave, an industrial slave,
and il is her career and its strange yicisi-
tudes, through childhood aud early woman
hood, shall ask my readers TO follow"
MUcH-ABUsED WOMAN.
Amelie Rives is the best known and worst
abused woman Of the day. Literary critics
and a lot of miscellaneous writers have
treated her with apparent malignity. The
tune has come when one must stop amid all
the outcry against her and inquire If there
is such a thing as fair play in this country.
IL is well here to state Mrs. Chanler herself
does not complain All she will say Isl 80,
well, | am at last accustomed to it, and
though ! suffered grieyousy at first it does
not now worry iue al all" Nor does any
member OF her family complain. Her hus-
band says simply: eve cannot control the
newspapers and do not desire to; but We
can and do refuse 10 read them. News
papers do not come into our house. That is
our only protection" And her mother:
This Is somethi we do not talk Of. For
a time Amelie was s0rely tried, but she had
the consolation Of her religion and the com
fort Of her conscience"
The complaint here made, therefore, Is
not the complaint Of the Rives family, for
they are silent. Nor IS IL impatience Of the
critics who pursue their legitimate calling
and eschew illusions and insnuations. The
great evil is that from the careessness OF
the critics miscellaneous pnd reckless lot
Of gossip writer's have taken their cue.

Monsters in tho Air.

The Washington Star, in a report Of q
lecture by DE-. J. 81. Kidder, says: =
GA number Of micro photographs were
thrown on a screen by means of powerful
lantern, to illustrate DR.. Kidder's expert
ments to Determine the foreign elements in
the am. They were made, he explained. by
allowing moisture N air to dry on exposed
plates of glass and afterward photograph
ing the slides. They looked on the screen
llse pictures Of the moons surface, being
covered with spots and marks and lines,
which, DIR. Kidder said, were the crystals of
various chemical elements. He had recog-
nued them all through certain ear marks
they possessed, and gave their names with
a wonderful familiarity. One, he declared,
showed cholera traces; another hay-fever
germs (Which looked like great mock
oranges); several bacilli, and one held a
picture Of the shell Of sugar mite impris-
oned In wee drop of moisture One form
greatly resembled a cuttle-fsh, but was
merely spDre from red-oak tree. A num-
Der of the sides showed weird forms Of
immense size, which the lecturer said were
fungus growths that had developed from
spores caughtin the moisture. The lantern
suddenly gave sharp pop, caused by the
breaking Of one of the jets, and the lecture
came to an end"
