ARTISTIC TABLE WARE,
What an Englishman Saw In a Corner
of the Paris Exhibition.
From the London Telegraph.

From the London Telegraph.
The cases around it contain, among other
''things of beauty" some fifty enamel paint
ings, executed on vases, plaques and dessert
plates, displaying figure subjects executed on
bleu de roi ground, many of them perfect mas
terpieces of drawing and color. The enameling
process is here worked in oils, instead of in
water color, and has at least one advantage
over the pate sur pate method-to wit, that it
cannot even be scraped.. The shadow effects
are given by the blue fond showing through
the enamel, deeper or fainter in proportion to
the thickness Of the white surface; peculiar
softness of tone and delicacy of nuances
are thus obtained. Several of these
beautiful paintings are the creations
of Mr.. Bolts geuius. Among the fanci-
full subjects treated by that accomplished
artist are winter" might" 'Leda and the
representing the lovely kelpie perched upon q
golden rock; Sleeping Bachantes," with an
extraordinarily fine group; Love the Pilot

From the Chicago Tribune.
N. Liegeosis, professor Of Law q Nancy,
has made . special study Of hypnotic sug-
gestion in the relation to civil and
criminal law, and has published his re-
suits in Q recent memoir. He has made
a large number Of experiments to establish the
possibility Of suggesting crimss, which the sub
jsct Of such suggestions may carry out while
ignorant of the motive power that guides their
hands. The following was one of his expert
ments: Aiming himself with revolver he took
subject at random from among the ave
or six somnsmbulists with him q n.
Liebaults. To remove any possible idea
OF play he loaded the revolver and hred
one shot In the garden. Then he went into the
house and showed to one Of the subjects q card

The Whistler.
From the Chicogo Inter-Ocean.


"a good whistler is, as a rule, the best Of
good fellows" said the colonel. 1--WE had one
fellow in our regiment who could whistle any,
thing and who generally used to whistle his
best when the rest of us were feeling our worst
The ugliness in soldier nature was pretty sure
to come out at the tail end of the long, muddy
march, and the swearing at such times was
very distressing to q man who had faith in
human nature. At such times our gay.whistler
would strike up some favorite tune. The
swearing would cease, the boys would catch
the step, and they would go merrily along to
the whistled melody After q battle when
the men were respondent and discouraged. the
whistler Of the regiment would whistle tender,
plaintive terms by the hour, and know that
he gave great comfort.
AFTER the battle of Lookout mountain he
was one of the guards detailed to escort the
prisoners taken in the mountain nght down to
Bridgeport, where they were to take the train
for the north. There we're several hundred of
them and the march down from Chattanooga
to Bridgeport was tedious one; but the slow
progress brought about a close acquaintance
between the guards and the prisoners, and on
several occasions during the march the cheer
ing whistle Of the gay-hearted man in blue
cheered the heavy-hearted men In gray and
they were wont to call for the music when the
circumstances of the march were more than
usually distressing.
GAS they started across the pontoon bridge Al
Bridgeport, two lines Of gray in the center and
. thin line Of blue on each outer edge, the
whistler, In accordance with Q very general
call started melody suited TO the occasion.
The men caught step, and rsb and yank went
swinging across the bridge, ignoring the COM
mand Of the officers TO change step. Az the
column nsared the center The march had
become sort Of iolli6catiou, and iust a the
jollity was at its height the bridec parted in
the middle and in an instant scores Of men
were struggling in the water.
There IVES, Of course, great confusion, but
In good time Ill the men except three or four
were rescued Among those lost were one Ohio
boy and two Of the prisoners. The survivors
we're Immediately loaded into the train wait
ing. Every one was greatly detected Just be-
fore the train started there came from the
whistler, Who, in his wet clothes, was The very
image Of discomfort, . soft, tender melody. Il

CURRENT LITERATURE oFTo-DAY
An Assertion that IL Is Absolutely De-
void of Originality.

From the Edinburgh Review.
If we had to speak at large of the current
literature Of the age we should be Obliged 20
confess that there has not been for many
years a period more absolutely devoid
Of originality and u'1s. The fire which
burned with such -Itensity in the earlier
half of the present century is in its ashes.
That astonishing array of writers of the
first rank in poetry, in fiction, in history, in
philosophy-writers so eminent and so original
that their fame went forth into all lands and
secured them q place in the records Of all
time-is extinct. Perhaps in science and in his
tory some exceptions may still be found, but
even in these branches the most eminent
names belong rather 10 the past than to the
present. In the myriad Of books which are
poured forth in eyer-incressing num-
with one which will outIive the year or
which deserves longer life. The
reason is plain: Such books are not created by
the energy Of the mind, but are manufactured
from old materials. There is no greater proof
of the extremely superficial character of mod
ern education than the superficial abaracter Of
the current literature. In place of grasping
the substance of the great men and the great
writers Of old, people content themselves with
their shadows on the wall. Biography, which
is at this moment the most popular form Of
est possible compass the heroes and sages
Of the past, and in initiating the posthumous
reputation of the men OF yesterday by ransAck-
ing their desks and publishing their private
letters. Indeed. il is a curious characteristics
of the literature Of the day that biography pre-
ponderates to an enormous extent over every
other branch Of composition. II would seem
as il the present generation had nothing bet
ter to write about than the personal lives Of
their predecessors, and even Of their contem-
poraries. That additional terror OF death"
which Lord Campbell was said TO have invented
when he wrote his Lives of the
Chaneellors" has become 90 inevitable ~ what
10 called the "debt Of nature" No man can be
sure that he will escape the insatisble bio
grapher who haunts the eraveyards. Ancient
and modern, old and young, in books for the
library, in books for the railway STALL in re-
views and magazines, even in our pages and
in those Of our most distinguished contain
porary, biography claims FIRST place and rsigns
supreme. II Is q proof that the public care
more for persons than for things. more for the
details Of daily life than for originality Of
thought.

we followed him through the grass. After a
hundred yards his growls brought rs up short
the sight Of his head. So I beckoned him
down, climbed up myself, pulled up the rife

Another feature in the tennis play of Eng
lishmen is the popularity of the double game.
The entries for doubles in the tournaments this
year have been unusually large. Authorities
here say that the double game gives scope for
greater delicacy Of play and q larger amount of
strategy than the single game. Another i'm
portant feature in the double game (Which is
undoubtedly advansageous) is the manner in
which partners arrange themselves on the
court. The prehistoric (here) method
was with one man at the back Of the court and
the other volleyng. This style of play has en-
tirely passed away among the leading
players and is only to be found in suburban,
courts. Every one has adopted the system of
the Renshaw brothers and plays in the service
Line or whereabouts, that 10, one partner stands
little nearer TO, and the other little farther
from, the net than the service line, 90 a. not TO
last with each other. With pair 90 placed, il
often seems a. Il there was
no spot In the court unprotected and
''lobbyingDwas the only remedy but under ordi-
nary circumstances they play down the middle
Of the court here, or lay between the player.
It ID strange how often this method 70 success
full. Either both men try for the stroke, and
then even II it is returned, they are out of posi-
ton and the ball may be passed down the side
lines, or else they may think il is the others
stroke and the ball sails on untouched
II II an undoubted fact, however, that the
standard Of the double play is inferior to the
standard Of the single game, and this ID equally
true in every variety Of double game, especially
mixed doubles. The latter games are growing
in favor and this year formed q prominent
feature in all the leading tournaments
