This publisher is very wealthy. His
name is known everywhere. lie Is
famous for his expensive sports. He
has made q business OF publishing
stories, and he hires workers to do his
work as ne wants it done. The man of
the patent medicine can turn out his
emollient or preventive in reasonable
haste by hand, but with success comes
the demand for factories, and with
the factories comes the necessity
for prompt supply Of the requi-
site manufacturing material. Novels
are business, and it is more dangerous
in his case TO have them too good than
too bad. A really good novel would
hurt him more than dozen bad ones.
II his particular public wants thistles,
why give them figs? And l must say
in his behalf, that, as far as know,
there is nothing lasciyious in his books.
That may not be said OF one or two
other famous publishing houses, which
have depended before now on some not
only cheap but immoral periodicals as
the means Of clearing themselves OF
losses on their better literature. The
union OF the strictly popular but harm
| less has been tried in cases which the
reader will recall. 1t has secured two
classes of readers, none OF them
! very strong thinkers, or very
intelligent ones, and the contiguity OF
these two kinds of matter has lifted
many to higher levels. know that In
the long run the best OF any kind OF
popular literature pays best and is a
/ constant qualification to the publisher,
and I have never used any other; but l
! have a sympathy for the publisher who
makes temporary use OF the medium
and the excellent, aud drops the former
when his books show him it is safe TO do
so. For the publisher who prints base
matter, however, there ought to be no
mercy. He is doing more TO distribute
death than any epidemic, and his proper
place Is the penitentiary.

the daily press. Let it not be supposed
that there is one OF them who has not
ambination to get above the daily tread-

the earth was 5000 miles. This sllght
error OF 1000 miles, considering what
disadvantages he had to deal with ana
also that one astronomer as late as the
sixteenth century made an error OF 81
OOO. 900 miles In figuring out the dis
lance OF the earth from the sun, not
even discovering the mistake till years
afterward, when he accidentally paced
off the distance out OF curiosity-l say
an error of 1000 miles, at time when
there were so few barns upon which to
make geometrlcal calculations, Is not
surprising.
Let US now pass on rapidly to speak
of King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella,
viewed in the light OF more careful re-
search by the biogragher OF Columbus.
II is not too bad to learn, after years or
faith and trust in Isabella, that she was
really one Of the coarsest and iayest OF
queens?
Oh, what can be sadder than to catch
a crowned head in a mean act? What
can be more depressing than TO know
that your favorite Monarch Is a chump
or a jay? Oh, it is terrible! / never had
but one such experience myself.
Our house used to be quite rendez-
yous for people OF title when / was a
child. Wealthy mobiles used to come TO
our house and bring their dinners with
them. We were very popular with that
set. When they came l slept with my
parents. So did the other boys. held
these titled people in great esteem, and
gave them my pie. But one day duke
who was at our place shooting grouse,
prairie chickens and cows, sat at table
and combed his red, red whiskers with
his fork. That settled 1t with him. /
could not respect him after that. He
also put his teeth on the table while
speaking OF his ancestors. / hate that.
A man who cannot speak freely Of his
ancestors without removing his teeth at
table is no friend OF mine.
Isabella, il has been said, pawned her
Jewels that Columbus might go to the
west and find new world. The his
torian says she did not do that. So In
the woman's department OF the great
exposition Isabella should not be per-
mitted 10 hold the place which by rights
Oueen Victoria should hold. Victoria
Is very different from Isabella. She is
upright as a monarch, and has never
once stepped aside from the path Of
duty In order to crafty her own selfish
wishes. She has put in her little old
eight hours per day reigning just the
same as she would il God had told her TO
stand behind a counter and rap on q
showcase and call cash" for the same
number Of years.
So the historian says that Queen Isa-
bella, hoping for new realms TO govern
and for several new sealskin sacques on
the return OF Columbus, bade him god
speed and made him sign cast iron
contract 70 turn over all his discoveries
to her and Ferdinand. Then, believing

as the indispensable push. know of
many who have come here to win fame

as his own rotundite.

Finally Columbus got to lying again.
He gave offices 10 his relatives, not only
to his wife's family, but at last he got
reckless and began TO hand out offices TO
his numerous children. IL was then
time TO call halt, as the Aoeai Genoa
papers so truly said, and when he onered
To open up slave trade between spain
and the Bananas people lost faith In
him.
1t Is pretty we'll settled that Columbus
drew the prize for first seeing land,
when as a matter OF fact one OF his men
was first to see it, and that he put the
money into a watch with peach stone
charm on the chain.
Columbus had been dead 230 years be-
fore he learned that bis discovery was
not part Of Asia. We can imagine
him now, as be rode along the Jersey
coast, inQuiring for the All kohond OF
Swat, to whom he had a letter from
Ferdinand. can see him now at the
Potter building or the Mills building
asking for the khan OF Tartary, or try
ing TO find his telephone number on a
pink pamphlet at the ferry.
Yet we might as well give TO Column
bus the glory Of this great discovery,
whether he did II accidentally or from a
mercenary point OF view purely. We
will let that go.
The time is ripe for celebration. Let
US celebrate. When Columbus came
here Patrick Henry had not even been
surmised; Henry Clay had not been
thought OF.
The application OF electricity had not
been dreamed Of, and the pink tea was
yet unborn. Oh, what strides have been
made even in one country and In 400
years the change has been most marvel
Gus. The use OF ensilage at the time OF
the discovery OF America was yet In its
infancy. Lots OF people did not know
what It was. 1t Is so even now.
Religion was at that time In a rudi-
mentary state. Now 1t Is perfected and
painless In its operations. Then religion
was a calamity; now IL is blessing,
and is rarely as fatal as 1t used TO be.
Cooking has advanced with giant
strides. Pie, both plain and engraved,
has been introduced. The brevetted pie
with MONOGRAM has taken the place OF
the early tart, which was not durable,
and which yielded readily TO the action
OF the stomach.
Statesmanship as means OF obtaining
a livelihood has come TO stay. The study
OF government is beginning to interest
the scholarly, while those who are not
scholarly continue to scoop In the votes
and do the growing.
Whether Columbus discovered this
country on purpose or not, the writer OF
these lines is much obliged TO him.
Whether he did IT for revenues only or
for the advancement OF civilization, his
courage is worthy our respect and es-
TEEN, and IL 10 my own earnest wish
that his little episode in honor OF his
four hundredth anniversary may score a
success. as the dramatic critics some
times say.

The German Bill Before the Prussisn Diet
Able Arguments on Both sides.
BERLIN, January 29.-The sectarian
educational bill is under discussion In
the lower house OF the Prussian Diet
and mastery arguments for and against
the measure are expected. Though the
bill Is Of course a government measure,
it does not meet with unqualified sup
port from all the members Of the Min
istry.
So opposed was Herr Miguel, the
PruSsian Minister OF Finance, to the
adoption OF the bill without what he
insisted were vital notifications, that
he rendered his resignation to the En-
King. The latter. however, did
not accept it and prevailed on Herr
MIGUEL to remain in office, until the bill
was debated by committee.
Chancellor Won Caprivi to-day made a
speech in favor Of the bill and took &C.
casion to denounce the attitude Of the
National Liberals on the question.

Twas seated next to Rouget de l'Isle at a
dinner party in Paris. We had never met
before, and as you may easily imagine
was rather interested in the gentleman,
whom, with many others at the same
board, complimented on his production,
only confined myself to complimenting
him on his poem. "You don't say a word
about the music" he replied, land vet, be-
ing celebrated musician, that ought to
interest you. Do you not like its" Very
much, indeed" l said in somewhat sig
nificant tone. Well, let me be frank
with you. The music is not mine. 1t was
that of a march which came, heaven knows
whence, and which they kept on playing
at Marseilles during the Terror. when I
was prisoner at the Fortress of St. Jean.
made few alterations necessitated by
the words, and there it is"
Thereupon, to his great surprise, I hum
med the march as had originally written
it. "Wonderfulp' he exclaimed. "How
did you come by it's" When told him he
threw himself round my neck. But the
next moment he said, II am very sorry
my dear Boucher, but I am afraid you will
be despoiled forever, do what you will: for
your music and my words go so well to-
gether that they seem to have sprung
simultaneously from the same brain, and
the world, even if proclaimed my indebt-
edness to you, would never believe it. ~
Keep the loan" l said, moved in spite of
myself by his candor Without your
genius my march would be forgotten by
now. You have given it a patent of nobil-
ity. 1t is yours forever The English
