MEN OF THE HOUR.
CHARLES READE,


Charles Reade, the late eminent
English novelist, was born in 1914,
at Ipsden House, Oxtordshire En-
gland. His father was an eminent
scholar, and his mother lady OF I'M
usual intellectual strength. He was
educated at Magdalen College, Ok
ford. After graduation he read law,
gained a Vinerian fellowship at the
University of Oxford, in 1912, and
was called to the bar the year after.
He never practiced law, but adopted
a literary life, occupying it's earlier
years in writing for newspapers and
magazines. His first novel was
peg Wellington" published in 1858.
Christie Johnstone," issued the
same year, was well received. at is
Never Too Late to Mend" produced
in 1856, dealt severely with certain
abuses of prison discipline, and Great
ed great excitement. Henceforward
every work from Mr.. Reade' pen was
welcomed eagerly. The list of his
works includes, in addition to those
already mentioned, "The Course OF
True Love-" "Jack of All Trades"

Griffith Gaunt," "Put Yourself in
His Place. and "a Terrible Tempta-
ton" His pen has proved inexcep-
tionaIly powerful, dealing incidently
with social wrongs, and severely con-
demning their perpetrators.
Few writer's, if any, have covered q
wider range than helm the variety of
fiction originating in the view of mo-
tives and impulses arising from other
passions than that of love.
Charles Reade was asuccessful dra-
matist. He published "Gold' in
1913, the first of the plays. "Masks
and Faces, "''TWo Lovers and a Life, :"
and 1.-THE Kings Rival" followed at
intervals. Several ofhis stories have
been dramatized, notably Griffith
Gaunt," by Augustin Daily. Ameri-
canreaders will remember Mr.. Reade's
suit against the New York Times be-
cause it had characterized "Grittith
Gaunt" as an immoral production.
Six cents damages were awarded the
irate novelist by the jury sitting on
the case The deceased writer was q
man of great force and originality OF
character. He loved and hated with
Vehemence. His pen was far from
being squeamish, for it wrote the
truth, and he was unquestionably a
great master of the knowledge of hui
man nature.

Cloth Made Of Glass.

Ever since it's invention glass has
been found to be available for hume
rous purposes as a decorative mate
rial, but it was reversed for modern
ingenuity to conceive and carry out
the idea of weaving it into cloth.
Not long since a Frenchman of an
inventive turn of mind discovered
that it was possible to make q kind
of cloth from glass, or rather from
glass and silk, the latter forming
the warp and the former the wool.
The process of weaving is very slow,
and of course the product is expen-
sive, but not more so than other fan
cies in decorative novelties in which
wealthy people indulge themselves.
AS the pattern of the material is
worked in the glass, which may be
of any color or variety of colors de-
sired, its brilliancy may readily be
imagined.-New York Telegram.

Lords of Creation.

Grant Allen propounds, in the
Forum, a new view of "woman's
place in nature" "The males" he
says, "are the race; the females are
merely the sex told off to recruit and
produce it. All that is distinctively
human is mantle field, the ship, the
mine, the workshop. All that is
truly woman is merely reproductive
the home, the nursery, the school
room. The very necessity for telling
off at least a considerable number Of
the women for the arduOus duties of
human maternity prevents the pos
sibility of women, as such ever being
really, in any deep sense, the race. 1t
is human to till, to build, to navigate,
and these are the functions that fall
upon man, The males have built up
human civilization and have made
the great functionally acquired gains
in human faculty, while the females
have acted as mere passive trans
mitters of these male acquisitions. I"

The Ounce OF Prevention.

Under the above heading the New
York World of Feb 10th, contains an
editorial, OF which the following are
a few extracts:
physicians and unprofessional
men OF sense agree that if people
would take little of the pains to
prevent disease that they do to have
it cured that the civilized world would
be much less like vast hospital than
it is now. But the idea
of a regular and stated physical ex-
animation, even of persons who are
apparently well, is an excellent one.
The approaches of pulmonary COM
plants, kidney troubles, and many
of the other ills that flesh is heir to
are SO insidious as not to be appar-
ent to their victim. In
nothing is it truer than in disease
that IAN ounce ofprevention is worth
a pound of cure"
There is q great deal of wisdom in
what the World remarks. Individu-
ais, as rule, do not give physical
attention, and it is only when alarm
ed by the presence of disease itself
the consciousness of failing strength
that attention is given to such
matters
Much has been said and written in
recent years concerning the extreme
and oftentimes fatal danger which re-
suits from delay in the treatment of
kidney diseases.
Physicians admit that they can
not control advanced disease of
those organs, and it is doubtful
whether they can control it in any
stage without the assistance of War
ner's Safe Cure, which is established
ds the only known means which will
reliably prevent and cure this class
Of disease.
Besides, it has been definitely as
certained that kidney disease is the
real cause OF i'll health in most cases
where consumption, heart, brain or
nervous disorders are supposed to
exist, and in consequence OF such be-
lief many fatal mistakes have been
| committed by our best physicians in
treating such disorders, which are
but the symptoms of the disease,
whilst they have allowed the real dis
ease-disease of the kidneys to escape
their notice until too late.
There is no safer or surer way
by which health can be preserved
and disease averted than the
occasional use of Warmers
Safe Cure, which will benefit the
"engines of life, the kidneys, even
if they are i'll a normally healthy
state; while the good that will result in
case disease is threatened, or is al
ready present, cannot be overesti-
mated.
The most careful examination made
by skillful physician sometimes is
unreliable, since this class of disease
is extremely deceptive, and seldom
openly manifests itself until the I'M
suspecting sufferer is beyond assist
ance.

FAIR PLAY.

The English as a nation pride
themselves on their devotion to fair
play. They Drag a good deal about
it but seldom indulge in it. The
meeting between Smith, the cham
pion pugilist OF England and jack
son the colored champion, was a
notable instance. Everything was
done to favor the Englishman and
when he saw that he could not win
he deliberately iouled his man.
Jackson's demeanor in the ring
showed that he really understood
what fair play meant. He acted IN
\ style that made even Smiths
hackers ashamed OF themselves.

Farmers and Fairs.

The Stockton Mail gives a very
good Illustration of how the
farmers Qor whose benefit the fairs
are supposed to be gotten up) are
lett out i'm the cold when the time
comes.
1t says: The farmer pays his
dollar to get in at the gate, while
the gambler stalks by the ticket
window with free pass tied 10 his
coat button. The farmer may win
q five dollar prize for exhibiting a
horse or cow that costs him $40 to
transport to and from the fair
grounds, but 4 couple of thieving
jockies can always induce the
Directors to give two or three hun
dred dollars for them to canter
their "plugs" around the course,
with the added chance to make a
cleanup in the pool box. The
livery sta BILE keepers who handle a
few trotters and the jockeys get
nearly all the State money that the
farmers pay to see the show.
All this is because the farmers
take very little interest in the fairs
while the turf men do.
