Jane Austen and Guy de NIaupassant

Jane Austen and Guy de NIaupassant.
Unconsciously Jane Austen was a
forerunner of a group of nOvelists,
represented at present perhaps most
completely by NJ. Guy de Maupassant.
Could she have fOreseen what was
coming there is no reason to suppose
she would have shrunk from the aSsO-
citation as perturbing TO maidenly sus
capabilities; her minute acquaintance
with Richardson, the OutspOken habit
of her time, a hint or two in her let
tiers. show the likelihood that her OBJ
lection to the form taken for the mo-
ment by French fiction would, like
ours, be to some extent offset, could
she read it, by admiration of the skill
of some of the writers-all the more
that she knew French.
She and NJ. Guy de Maupassant are,
indeed, in odd contrast, and yet closely
alike. His range is perhaps as narrow
as hers; he avowedly goes out of his
way in search of the unhackneyed,
whereas she obviously makes her ar
rows of the wood that happens to lie in
her path. Her characters are apt to be
ladies and gentlemen; his are usually,
as Mr. Henry James points out, the re-
verse. Her plots turn on domestic lin
volvements;' by no stretch of language
could his atmosphere be termed do

A Gentle Hint.

Fred's mamma had trained him by
example and precept" to be courteous,
and he seldom forgot the lesson, even
under very trying circumstances
One afternoon maiden aunt, who
was something of trial to Fred, came
to the house while his mamma was
away and insisted on his rehearsing all
the new verses and songs he had learned
at kindergarten since her last visit.
He went through his repertoire pa
tiently until he was quite tired, and
still his aunt demanded another and
another
At last Fred said politely, but with
considerable firmness, "I'Il do just this
one more Aunt Lucretia, and them

Three Mighty Men.

/ recalled the incident a few days
ago, says a writer in the Neao York
World, as l sat in Trinity listening
to Phillips Brooks noontime talks.
1t happened in the spring of 1888.
The four of us had gone to Europe
together-Dr. McVickar of Philadel-
phia, Phillips Brooks. and Mr.. Rob-
inson, the builder of Boston's Trini-
ty church. Robinson stands six feet
two inches in his stockings, Mr.. Nc
Vickar measures six feet four inches,
and DR.. Brooks exceeds six feet in
height. Robinson is sensitive about
his length, and suggested that in or
der to avoid comment the three tall
men avoid being seen together. Ar
irving in England, they went directly
to Leeds, where they learned that a
lecturer would address the working
classes on''America and Americans"
Anxious to hear what Englishmen
thought of the great Republic they
went to the hall. They entered sep
arately, and took seats apart. The
lecturer, after some uninteresting re-
marks, said that Americans were, as
a rule, short, and seldom, if ever,
rose to the height of five feet ten
inches. He did not know to what
cause he could attribute this fact, but
he wished he could present examples
to the audience.
Phillips Brooks rose to his feet and
said 81 am an American, and, as
you see, about six feet in height, and
sincerely hope that if there be any
other representative of my country
present he will rise
After a moment interval Mr.. Rob
inson rose and said, 81 am from
America, in which country my height
six feet two-is the subject of no
remark. If there be any other Amer
lean here | hope that he will rise
The house was in jolly humor.
Waiting until the excitement could
abate in some degree, and the lectur-
er regain control of his shattered
nerves, DR.. McVickar slowly drew
his majestic form to its full height
and exclaimed AZ am" But
he got no further. The audience
roared, and the lecturer said no more
on that subject.

Legal Bulls

Lord Kenyon stands at the head OF
the legal fraternity of bulls. He once
addressed prisoner at the bar who had
been convicted of stealing wine from
his masters cellar in a very bombastic
style, likening his crime TO the most
atrocious man can commit, and CON
Guided by saying that for many years
he had been ''feathering his nest with
his masters bottles
Coleridge, in referring to Lord Ken
yon's incredible ignorance, tells us that
in his address to the jury in trial for
blasphemy, he said, ''Above all, gen
tlernen. need I name you the Emperor
Julian, who was so celebrated for the
practie, Of every Christian virtue that
he was led Julian the Apostle. "

TO THE
Farmers of Vermont.

1t has incidentally come to my
knowledge that you occasionally
make complaints because of the
small sums received for your Dairy
skins. The fault is your own, for
if you would take them off and
properly care for them you would
rarely find skin that would bring
you less than so cents, and a great
many of them would bring you so,
70 and even 80 cents each.
Poor skins, like poor butter, are
poor property and bring a poor
price. 1t will cost you only a
penny for a postal card on which
to send me your address, to secure
full printed directions as to the
proper method of taking off and
caring for your calf skins. | will
very gladly mail these to you free,
postpaid, if you will send me your
name and so request.
In most of the towns of Yer
mont | have buyers, but in lOcali-
ties where [ have none | would
suggest that half dozen farmers
club together and ship their skins
in quantities Of 25 or more. in
which case | will pay all freights
after delivery at R. R. depot. L
cannot allow you wholesale prices
in towns where / have a buyer, but
where | have none | will gladly ar
range with any reliable farmer who
is willing to attend to the matter OF
collecting skins taken off in his Vi
entity, and in such case will OF
course allow the buyers commits

\ bright eyed Brooklyn friend whose
family came from the wilds of Staten
Island told me funny story the other
day. She said: L started out to pay
my devotion at the shrines of my an
cestors, and for that purpose visited
the ancient country churchyard in the
interior of the island where several gen
erations of our family are now buried.
As / wandered among the grass grown
mounds came upon one newly made
tomb in the shadow of the weather
beaten walls of the old church. The
fresh earth showed that it had been
made within a week or two. No stone
or monumental urn yet marked the
resting place of the dead, but in the
middle of the mound was stuck an old
fashioned palm leaf fan of the sort
which you find in the pews of country
churches. The identity of the departed
was not known to me, but 1 thought
the symbolic that was what it was in
tended for-was at least suggestive. 1t
was the grimmest sarcasm l ever en-
countered. Brooklyn Eagle.

A good deal of sarcasm, usually
pointless, is aimed at the Puritan
and Pilgrim settlers of the Eastern
States because of the severity of
their laws. But with all their faults.
which, as the poet says, ever leaned
to virtues side, they left priceless
heritage in their respect for law. 1t
was nothing to them that the law
was something inadequate to meet
the situation. They obeyed the old
and passed new laws to remedy the
defect.
Much is due to that spirit of the
early settlers in the East. 1t has
impressed itself upon the ways and
habits of the people, even with all
the intermingling of strange and
alien sentiment. The absence of a
similar spirit in the South is one of
the menacing signs of the age

A flock of wild geese sailing up
through Ohio toward the North Pole
a few days ago is said to have been
turned back by a government cold
wave emblem flying from a tall flag
pole. The creatures seemed to ac-
cept the display of the flag as a warn
ing that severe weather was coming,
which was pardonable in them, con-
sidering that they were geese.
