MRORINsON CRUSOR.-

The Realism of "RobInson Crusoe.o
Mrs. N o. w. Oliphsnt, in an article
on Daniel Dsfoe in the September Century,
has this to say of his famous novel: "Rob-
inson Crusoe' lives by his own right. and
will, we may confidently affirm, after the
long trial he has had, never die. We
need not discuss the other works of fic-
tion which are all as Characteristic as die
tant narratives of apparent fact, as care
fully elaborated In every detail; they are
almost all excellent in their beginning,
but, fault which is shared by Crusoe
himself, run into such predigality of de-
tail toward their close, that the absence
of dramatic construction and of any real
inspiration of art becomes painfully (or,
rather, tediouSly, which ia worss) sppn-
rent.
We do not, however, share the opinion
of those critics who disparage Defoe's
tie art he Is truly master of, of forging @
story and imposing 1t on the world fot
truth" Ia an art which he possesses In
common with but very few men who have
ever lived, and even among these few he
has 1t in q very high degree. The gift Ia
peculiar. We are not moved by 1t to pity
or tenderness, and not much to admira
tion, for the hero. The inner circle of our
emotions Is seldom IL ever entered; but on
the other hand there Is nothing in that
island where the ehipwrecked mariner
finds q shelter, and which he makes into
q home, which we do not know and see az
well as " we had dwelt in IL like Robin

| geography of the world Not only would
| no child ever doubt it's existence, but to

nAnIEL WERSCER.

The Oratory OF Daniel Webster.
from "a Glance at Daniel Webster" by Mel
len Chamberlain In the September Century.l
Lord Chatham is accounted the most
consummate of English orators. In my
youth greatly admired that passage In
his speech on the address to the king In
1777, in which, referring to Lord Suffolk
who had defended the employment of the
Indians in the war against the colonies, he
exclaimed, ''From the tapestry that sdorns
these walls, the immortal ancestor of this
noble lord frowns with indignation at the
disgrace of his country" It is a very
striking passage; but once heard Webs-
ter say grsndsr words. 1t was on the 18th
of June, 1S49, when was one of that vast
throng gathered at Bunker Hill, which saw
Webster raise his outstretched arm up to
the newly completed monument, and heard
him say: "It is not from my lips-it
could not be from any human lips-thst
that stream of eloquence is this day to
flow, most competent to move and excite
this vast multitude around me. The pow
erful speaker snds motionless before us. >
felt the thrill which ran through that
vast audience, and l saw their uplifted
eyes and blsnched cheeks, and Joined IN
that responsive shout which told, as nc
words could tell. that We had heard one oi
the most perfect passages in all orstory.
Webster could also be dull-in his lstel
yesrs, very dull. Those who,hesrd him IL
his prime are quite angry when one doub
whether he ever could have been as popu
lar sn orator as Everett or Choate, oil
Phillips. Few now live who heard him In
those early days, when he was at his best
/, who heard him often between 1910 and
1850, never heard him at his best but once
and then only for few minutes. Tne
circumstances were these:
At the festival of the Sons of New
Hampshire, gathered In the hall of the
Fitchburg railroad in 1849, Mr.. Webster
presided with admirable grace, and spok'
of his native state as her SONS would like
to hear her spoken of. His speech
though interesting, WAS not particularly
| striking until, passing from our own af
| fairs to those of Hungary, then in he
struggle for liberty, he said: ''I see tina
| the emperor of Russia demands of Turke,
that the noble Kossuth and his compsn
ions shall be given up to be dealt with a
/ his pleasure. And / see that this demant
is made in derision Of the established Law
| of nations. Gentlemen, there Is some
thing on earth greater than arbitrary O
despotic power. The lightning has 1t
power, and the whirlwind has it's power
and the cart quake has It's power; bu
there is something among men more caps
BILE of shaking despo,ic power than th
lightning, the whirlwind or the earth

indignation of the whole civilized world.

his eyes ts kindle, and his voice zoo

MORE BIG SHOWS.

1t will be long time before there is an
other show as big as that now going on in
Chicago, and the Chicago papers say there
never will be. But there will be some
pretty big "expositions' soon. The
Spanish government opens in April next at
Madrid the Universal Exposition, in the
Palace of Industry, and the managers will
receive exhibits from all parts of the earth.
In May, 1894, at Antwerp, Holland, an
other exposition will be opened under the
patronage of the king, and the main build
ing will cover 120, 900 square feet of ground
and be built of iron and steel and rooted
with zinc. An extraordinary project sug
position is the construction of what is
called an aerial palace. 1t will be struct-
ure SO feet long, supported by captive
balloons, and capable of containing 150
people. 1t will be kept at heights varying
from $50 to 1000 feet, and access to it will
be had by smaller balloons to be 1un
up and down at frequent intervals.
Exhibitions are also to be held at Berne,
Switzerland, at Rome and at Lyons, France.
At Milan great international electrical
exhibition will be opened Puerto Rico, in
November, 1894, will celebrate with fair
the 400th anniver sary of the discovery of
the island; and Hobart. on the Island of
Tasmania, is booked for a great exhibition
| during the summers of 1S94-95.
The exposition business will not end In
this country with the end of the Chicago
fair. In the Golden Gate park at San
Francisco ground has been broken for the
erection of exposition buildings for which
half million dollars has already been
subscribed; and the projectors are hoping
that many of the fine exhibits at Chicago
will be transferred to that city for exhibit
ton. The "World's Fair Prize Winners
Exposition" which is to be held in Feb.
ruary and March in Grand Central Palace
New York, has been for some time an
nounced. Already the main floor has beer
taken by exhibitors from Great Britain
Germany, France, Austria, Belgium, Italy
Russia and Spain, now in Chicago.
So there will still be shows to 20 to
even If there is not another Midway Plais
snce. And those who are "gone" on ths
can perhaps find comfort in the Bowery.

The Soft-ShelI Lobster


''Neyer seed q soft-shelled iobstsri Well,
that's not surprisin'. You see, they
never get to market. They're so good that
they always get ate first"
The grizzled old fisherman wrung the
salt water out of his whiskers as he talked,
having just landed through the surf in his
boat with q fine cargo of fresh, caught
Holsters.

every day, even at this season." he went
on. when catch one my wife cooks 1t
for cur own dinner. Goodl Well, you
can bet. Fried in boiling lard, Just like q
newly shed crab, it's the finest thing on
earth in the way of provender. Some
thing like q crab, you know, but a great
deal more delicious. Delmonico would
give ten dollars a dozen for 'em, only that
they can't be got for any price.
"You see, when the HOLSTERS are shed
ding they hunt for holes among the rocks
70 hide in. Until they get their new coats
they don't usually walk abroad, but stay
quietly in dark orsnnies where no enemy
| is likely to find them. At such times they
are not apt to be looking for food and
they don't get into the pots on that &C
count. There isn't any animal that is
Drawer than a lobster when he Is in fight

that he should take any extra risk. Its

"Suppose you had to take of your skin

Odds and Ends OF the Hat Code.

that have settled into favor for the fall,
rough straw sailor hats with narrow brims
are shown. Tne straw is black and the

white lace that the space between the

back velvet, two ends of which stand up
slantingly. 1t is a very perky little hat,

The Fool and the Little Court Lady.
He was q merry, merry Fool SO gay,
She WAS q little Court Lady;

She sang In the green ways shady.
She sang to the Queen with sad, sad face,
Who sighed, "Ah mel' as she listened,
my crown for q day OF such childhoods graceI'
And tsar In her dark eye glistened.
And the grave King looked at his jester gay,
And sighed as he smiled at the chatting,
My kingdom to be this Fool for day,
Whose life is a time for laughing"
They met when the sun slipped down in the sea

And queer jester he, and n sorry singer she,
As they walked in the green ways shady;
For 81 would were the Kingr this queer Fool

And oh, to be the Queen" cried this weary LII
tie maid,
"And to wear gorgeous robe forever after"'
Then he bobbed little bow, and little curtsey
she,
AS they passed down the green ways shady;
But "Alsck!" quoth the queer little Fool
quoth he;
And "Alas,n sighed the little Court Lady.
