CHILDREN's LITERATURE.

What ''st. Nicholas" Has Done for Boy
| and Girls
| Victor Hugo calls this "the woman'
century," and he might have added
that it is the chi1dren's century a.
well, for never before in the worlds
history has so much thought beer
paid to children-their schools, theil
books, their pictures, and their toys
Childhood, as we understand it, is g
recent discovery.
Up to the time of the issue of the
ST. Nicholas Magazine seventeen years
ago literature and children's maya
zines were almost contradictory terms,
but the new periodical started out
with the idea that nothing was too
good for children; the result has been
a Juvenile magazine genuine with
conscientious purpose,-the greatest
writers contributing to it, with the
best artists and engravers to beautify
it,-and everything turned to the key
note of youth.
1t has been the special aim of st.
Nicholas to supplant unhealthy litera-
ture with stories of a living and
healthful interest. 1t will not do to
take fascinating bad literature out of
boys hands, and give them in its
place Mrs. Barbauld and Peter Farley
or the work of writers who think that
any "good-y" talk will do for children,
but they must have strong, interesting
reading, with the blood and sinew of
real life in threading that will wax
en- them to closer observation of the
best things about them.
In the seventeen years of its life 81.
Nicholas has not only elevated the
the children, but it has also elevated
the tone of contemporary children's
literature as well. Many of its stories,
like Mrs. Burnett's Little Lord Faun-
leroy" have become classic. 1t is
not too much to say that almost every
notable young peoples story now pro-
duced in America first seeks the light
in the pages of that magazine.
The year 1891 will prove once more
that "no household where there are
children is complete without st. Mich
otds." ]. t. Troworiege, Noah Brooks,
Charles Dudley Warner, and many
well-known writer's are to contribute
during this coming year. One cannot
put the spirit of 81. Nicholas into a |
prospectus, but the publishers are
glad to send full announcement of
any person mentioning this notice.
The magazine costs $500 a year. Ad-

OFFICIAL RED TAPE.

1t Cost the Government Fifteen Dollars to
Collect Three Cents.
After two days work by the clerks
Of three or four departments OF the
custom house and some incidental la
Dor on the part of the deputy collector
having charge of dutiablo goods COM
ing into the country through the
mails. Mr.. Henry Zimmern was en-
abled. upon the payment of three cents
duty and penalty of like amount, to
recover an article of personal adorn-
ment that was sent him by friend in
Germany.
That article was brass ring, valued
at twelve cents, and dutiable under
the customs laws for three cents.
Why Mr.. Zimmern wanted a ring Of
this material, or whether it was a
gage of his early love, or possibly an
heirloom in his family, Acting Collect
or McClelland does not know. The
only fact ne takes official cognizance
Of is that the ring came inclosed in q
letter. that it owed a duty of three
cents to the Government and that no
matter what might be the result that
amount must be collected.
The amount OF red tape through
which this innocent brass ring passed
before it reached the owner is hard to
specify. When the deputy collector
at the post-ofice discovered it in an
envelope he and his staff of clerks had
to fill out seizure papers in quadrupli-
cate reporting the fact to the collect
or. One of the clerks of the latter
had to acknowledge the receipt of tho
documents, send copies to the survey
or and naval officer for their informa-
ton and indorse upon the third an
order to the appraiser to make an ex-
animation Of the seized article. The
fourth copy was carefully filed in the
collectors Office for future reference.
This was the work of the collectors
Office, but there was more to be done |
before the Government could get its
three cents. The official in the seizure
room had to be instructed in writing
to turn the ring over 70 the appraiser;
the appraiser had to report the result !
of his examination to the collector.
and the latter had to acknowledge the
receipt of the report, and DO finally |
when the owner called for his proper
~ and planked down his three cents
there had been expended. according to
the opinion OF experts in the custom
house, at least fifteen dollars in clerk
hire, stationery, messengers salary,

30 much for the truth of the matter,
Tor which we are indebted to Mr. Hand,

merits Of the matter iteelf. As an ex-
cuse for paying high priced priso ners'

poor one. Mr.. Herbert had been feed.
ing prisoners for forty cents q day OF q
Time when provisions were m ore than
twice as high - they now are. Wheat
was then more than two dollars q
bushel and meat from 18 to 50 cen ts
per pound.
It ls not q matter Of surprise that
Mr.. Herbert came Into the Levy Court
and asked for an additional allowance
OF five cents day for each prisoner
under hia care. Though wc do not
believe the Democrats who solidly
voted for tho Increase were actuated
by the best OF motives, We fail 10 see
why even all the Republicans could
not have voted for It on the score OF
justice. With 45 cents day at that
time. those who were active In those
days and are still active know full we'll
that there would be more profits In
feeding prisoners now at 20 cents a
day than there was then at As cents.
We are glad that friend Hand has
thrown this light upon the subject,
which places 1t In quite q different
phase before the public from that 10
which the statement Of Mr.. Jordan
