HEINFERNAL WEATHER

IF any one can give information In what
way. near or remote, this sheolic weather Is
a benefit to anybody or anything, let him,
in the language of Spartacus, come
on. Some people, more hopeful than
wise. believe that corn fourishes under
the influence of this sirocco-like spell, but
they are grievously mistaken. Such
weather is good for nothing that grows
neither in the vegetable nor animal
kingdom. Had it been preceded
~ a liberal amount of moisture, its effects
would be favorable; but, coming as it has
in the wake Of long, dry spell, it is burn
ing the very life out of vegetation and
expressing humanity to d degree but little
above the limit of endurance. All late
corn has long since ceased maturing.
Weeks ago the ears stopped growing, and
those fields which have not been cut to
furnish fodder because of deslccated pas
lures, will be prolific as never before IN
that dwarfsh formation colloquially known
as nubbins.
No; such abominsble weather is abso-
lutely good for nothing. Its breath is
blighting, its prevalence ieopardizing to
the soul of all but the philosopher who
can tolerate imposition without profanity.
Even the autumn foliage, that ought now
to be changed to the glorious hues whose
rapturous beauty causes tears of inexpres,

"a ROYAL wedding is the cad like de-
scription Minneapolis paper gives OF the
marriage in that city of two thoroughly
Americanized young people. 1t was a
splendid event, to be sure. The millions
of a Lowry would take care that fair
and worthy daughter of the house should
become bride with all the eclat that riches
can bring. But mere display, elegant and
appropriate as it may be, cannot
render royal an affair in which no kingly
blood is found; and for an American
newspaper to adopt such a snobbish and
serrile style is beneath the dignity which
should characterize a press representing

TASTE FOR POETRY.
Andrew Long Tells of His Early Favorites
Among the Poets.

1t would be interesting, were it possible,
to know what proportion Of people really
care for poetry, and how the love of poetry
came to them, and grew in them--and
where and when it stopped. Modern
poets whom one meets are apt to say that
poetry is not read at ali. Byron's Muir
ray ceased to publish poetry in 1910, just
when Tennyson and Browning were
striking their preludes.. Probably Mr.
Murray was wise in his generation. But
it is also likely that many persons, even
now. are attached to poetry, though they
certainly do not buy contemporary verse.
How did the passion come to them? How
long did it stay? When did the muse say
good-by? To myself, as have remarked,
poetry came with Sir Walter Scott, for one
read Shakespeare as clild, rather in a
kind of dream of fairyland AMI enchanted
isles, than with any distinct consciousness
that one was occupied with poetry Next
to Scott, with me, came Longfellow, who
yleased one as more reflective and ten
derry sentimental, while the reflections
were not so deep as to lie pulling.

One did not then know that the same

But, at that time, one had no conscious
pleasure in poetic style, except in such
ringing verses as SCOTS, and Campbell's
in this patriotic style, except in such ring
ingverse as SCOTS, and Campbell's in his
patriotic pieces The pleasure and en-
chantment of style first appealed to me, at
