The Ffi~cts Of Novel IteadIng.

The mischief OF voracious novel read.
ing is really much more like the mischins
Of dram drinking than appears at hrst
sight. II tends to make all other literary
nourishmcnt intolerable, just as dram
drinking tends to make all true food In
tolerable. and TO supersede food by drink.
The yOracious novel reader OF today es
we have said rejects Scott, because Scott $
novels contain so much good food that 1t
IL not mere story telling. The genuine
novel reader detests what he calls tame
stories, stories In which the interest Is
not exaggerated and piled up ten times as
high as the interests of ordinary life. lie

citement running through his nerves. al
ways TO be living Ia Imagination through
the concentrated essence OF the perlls OF Q
hundred adventurous lives. instead OF
toiling calmly through the ordinary hopes

No state Of mind can be more unwhole-
some. because none Is more calculated to
divert the energies from the sort Of quiet
tasks TO which they should be habitually
applied and to keep them stretched on
the tenter hooks of expectation, waiting
for a sort Of strain which Is never likely
to occur, and II II did occur, would GER
tainly not find q mans energies any the

An Angry Client.

A lawyer Of some eminence In this

Drew, then sking of Wall street"
figured. Mr.. Drew had been sued by
persons who had been let ont At the small

action. The rugged financier was indig-
nant and vicious when he sought the
aforesaid lawyer and requested him to
take the case. The amount for which
the plaintiffs sued was about 81. 300.
and Drew said that he wanted the case
brought into court so that he might
show up them fellers.
The lawyer made careful investigh-
ton of the facts and found that his client
had scarcely leg 70 stand on in court
He WAS anxious TO win the case. how

with this result he called on Mr.. Drew
