afterwards, and to the end of his admin

that end. He would have increased the
value Of money and diminished the
value OF everything else.

thus lacks the beauty of the mother tongue
Many of the most powerfully y-written works of
the age owe their birth to Frenchmen, and be-
cause we chance to get hold of a few of the
lightest yet most popular pamphlets read, en-
Joyed, and condemned, we should not class
them all under the same head. l think that
'Counterparts,' by Elizabeth Shepard, the
author of that exquisite work, Charles Or
CHESTER is by far the most demoralizing book
of it's kind ever published. Anna Karenina,'
by TolstoI, and George Eliot's 'silas Mariner
are two of the most powerfully novels
in the English tongue. TolstoT's works are
remarkably fine as general thing, and his
characters are forciby drawn, but he seems to
take morbid view of many things that nat
urally influence his creations. AS to his
'Kreutzer Sonata, that has attained such wide
spread notice, condemned it to the flames
unread, SO am not capable of forming any
judgment in regard to its merit Judging
from all l hear of the book, should say that
it was the outgrowth of most diseased i'm
agination. There is a morbidness that should
not be encouraged among the young of our
generation.
oUIDA'S NOVELS DANGEROUS.
''All such works as pander to the taste, even
if harmless in other respects, should be
avoided" continued Mrs. Vance. "Young
people cannot easily distinguish between the
true and the false in literature. They are apt to
look no deeper than the surface, yet at the
same time their minds are unconsciously in
huenced by the lax tone of an authors con-
ceptions, Herein lies the danger of Ouida
and other such writers of the age who clothe
their heroes and heroines in the garb of purity,
while their lives are living contradiction of
the fact. Though faulty, Ouida's characters
are never repellant, and the imperceptible
tone of her works is to lower the standard of
morality rather than to elevate. Many of the
old standard novelisrs are far from moral in
some of their works, yet they are constantly
placed without discrimination in the hands of
every growing youth. A careful selection is
necessary from the very purest of our novel
lists, and no one class should be condemned
wholesale. Such an assertion may appear
strange" she added, ''yet all the same the fact
remains true that the present-day writers as
class are far more careful in their choice of
expression than the authors of earlier date,
though the style has certainly not decreased
in realism or Yiyidness of touchn
MRS, FIELD ON RUDYARD KIPLING.

tic of the country, and her judgment is con-
suited upon all matters relating to disputed
questions either of social or literary topics.
81 think that there is too much of our mod
ern literature that relates to subjects with
which we have nothing in common. Many
read book simply because it is the rage,
without feeling the least interest in the work
itself. Take, for instance, the writings of
Rudyard Kipling. There are few of them but
what relate to life in India, and most of those
who read his books know or care nothing
whatever OF the customs or people described.
There is little diversity in the pictures he
draws and were not his writings by chance
'the fashion,, few would take the time to
peruse them. Personally never trouble my
self to wade through novel simply because
Others do the thing l can generally tell
whether will enjoy a book by hasty glance,
and If l find the subject uninteresting throw
it aside without further thought, as l consider
1t sheer waste of valuable time to drudge
through work that gives me neither pleasure
nor profit.
READING FOR GIRLS.
"There is" continued Mrs. Field, ''no doubt
but that there is far too much license allowed
by parents in the matter of their children's
choice of literature, Mothers should carefully
guard their daughters from indulging too
largely in novel reading at all times, and
should personally supervise the choice of
authors. / do not denounce all modern novels
as weak or injurious. On the contrary, | con-
slider that there are very many of our present
day writer's whose works are powerful and
elevating in their tone, but it is unnecessary to
individualize, as / would prefer not to be
drawn into talk on book reviews. Much
depends upon the bent given to the taste in
youth, and if parents neglect so important
duty they realize too late the evil resulting
from their carelessness. In general, believe
that young people read without thought of
the evil hidden beneath the surface, SO palpa-
BILE to the more worldly-wise, and probably
they would unconsciously pass over much that
when brought to their notice would attract
simply from the fact of being forbidden.
Many authors, like Ouida, for instance, attract
with beautiful images and clothe vice in a
garb SO attractive to the outward eye that
much of the impurity is lost sight of To be
sure, it is less harmful to older heads, whose
experience of the world has taught them to
appreciate appearances at their true value,
where a more susceptible mind would be led
astray and fall into the natural error of put
ting faith in the theories evolved by an author
without regard to their correctness" ("

WILD BEASTS FAR-sIGHTED.

Curious Discovery of a French Student of
Eye Affections.
Murray's Magazine.
A curious communication has been made to
the Academic de Medicine by NJ Motais, of
Anglers, whose works on the various diseases
OF the eye are highly esteemed. Hehas closely
examined the effect of captivity on the sight
OF wild beasts, such as lions, tigers, etc., and
asserts that all such animals in savage state
are far-sighted The same remark applies to
man in an uncivilized state, and even to those
who, though civilized, follow avocations
which oblige them to remain constantly in the
open air, such as sailors or farm laborers.
The same faculty subsists in Gagged animals
when they have been taken after the age of
six or eight months, but when born in captiy-
ity, or kept in cages when very young, they
become near-sighted, which NJ. Motais attrib-
utes to the narrow space in which they are
confined, and the training which obliges them
to follow the eye of the keeper or tanner to
obey his will. The nearsightedness of school
children may, in his opinion, be ascribed to
the same cause.-the habit of concentrating the
sight on one point, and the fact that the
power Of the visual organ becomes modified
according to the requirements to which it is
subjected

A PAIR OF SILK HOSE
And How a Well-Known Society Lady
Lost Them.


Lost Them.
lady well known in society tells good
story OF her experience with massage doc
tress. The lady was troubled with neuralgia.
Ihe masseuse came well recommended by an
other lady OF the select circle. For some time
all went well. The lady's fnger-nails were
brushed and polished and busted with rose
powder, and she was regularly put to bed,
rubbed, and gently pinched until every muscle
was soft and flexible and her skin smooth as
satin. But one day while undergoing the usual
treatment by this skilled woman of the mag
netic hand the lady says she was tumbled
about the bed like log and pinched until she
was black and blue. Finally she reyolted and
declared to herself under her breath she could
not and would not stand any more There
fore she paid the doctress and told her she need
not come again until she was sent for. In the
meanwhile the healer was hunting round for
something. On being asked what, she replied,
"My long black silk mitts," which she pres
sently said she had found, and then she rather
sulkily took her leave.
1t took the lady some little time to recover
from the rough massage treatment she had
experienced, AT least she dozed a little be-
fore rising. When she did get up she couldn't
rescue and asked her what she wanted. sMy
black silk stockings, of course" she replied
for the finest and most expensive of silk
hosiery is the lady's ''fad,n and the MISSING

but avery dilapidated pair of long black silk
Jersey mitts were finally raked out from under
the bed.

to be SO absent-minded
'Oh, madame, said the maid, "she wasn't

breath smelled of beer, and that is what made
her so rough on you. She probably did not

Being asked the other evening in Cincinnati
If the New York newspapers were making as
much money as they had been, Mr.. Charles A.
Dana, of the New York Sun, remarked, ''Per-
haps not. The price of advertising has been
gradually cut down during the past two years.
The general tendency of advertising ON week
days is toward reduction in price. The Sun
day newspapers have become the great medium
of advertising, and the advertising, especially
of dry goods and retail articles, in the every
day papers is diminishing. 1t is not now as
large in volume as it was formerly" 1t is pos
tendency toward cutting in many directions,
although the leading papers have maintained
bold front. That the Sunday papers, how
ever have drawn the volume of business there
can be no doubt.
