IMPOSSIBLE CLASSIC HEROES.
Tne Characters Drawn by Old Writsrs
Not at al True tn Iifo

Not at al True tn Life
Some of tie older novelists in DEALING
with old Rome, the feudal DAYS in
France, Germany or England, or with
pioneer life. make their characters be-
long simply to another time Il the new
world, instead Of to another race and
world OF their own, says writer in tho
New England Magazine. in endeavor.
ing to reproduce scepes and social con-
dItI0ns which have passed away. many
historical novelists confuse the condi-
tons and perennial human nature.
They label their characters according
to their social station and confuse these
social distinctions with the qualities Of
the spirit. They give US men and
women whom God would fail to recog-
nize, but whom the critics, more acute,
readily hail as models and types for all
other students of human nature Their
characters are nearly all mounted on
stills; they are animated by motives
and considerations which are quite i'm
possible, and they talk as human be-
Sgs never talked in this world. They
deal not with the exceptional, which is
possible and artistic, but with the i'm
possible, which is caricature.
Their old Romans and barons and
h1ghwaymen, etc, stalk through the
scene mouthing platitudes and "senti-
ments," whereas we may be quite GER
tain that they occupied themselves
chiefly with cheating, lying, cringing,
stealing, scheming dining, drinking,
dissipating, working, gossiping. gam.
Ing and talking slang, just as men are
doing in the streets, marts, public Of
hces, theaters, etc, of Paris, London
and New York to-day. And beneath all
this action there was always q crude
philosophy, classifying and analysing
both motives and actions. One would
Imagine from the romantic representa-
lions of these phases of life that this
reflective habit of mankind was an in.
vention of yesterday, and did not really
date beyond the decline of the Roman
empire to the philosophy and civiliza-
ton OF Greece. These same virtues and
vices exist to-day, and never will be en-
tirely eradicated, no matter how high
the title of civilization rises; but, ex-
cept in the very lowest plane of human
life, where the relation to humanity is
scarcely more than that of the human
form, men in all ages have sought for a
solution of the riddle of existence. and
hence have, in a more or less crude fash
ION, reflected upon action.

Fish nets are made from some very
strange materials. The Esquimaux
manufacture them from strips of seal
hide. and frop thin slices of whale
bones. BY the Fijians they are con-
structed of human hair. Savages in
various parts of the world plat the in

North America use for the same pur-
pose seaweed--a sort of kelp which is

COMPETITION AVOIDED,
Shops In France Not Allowed to Crowd
Each Other.

Each Other.
In France two shops selling the same
thing are not allowed to exist within q
certain area. In provisions this absence
OF competition materially increases the
price, but. says woman who has
large experie nee In housekeeping in
France, your taxes are less, and you
have in return clean streets, good gas,
constant water supply and perfect
sewerage. In addition, by virtue of
state supervision, you never receive
short weight or inferior goods. There
is no quantity SO small that the grocer
will not sell it. And in doing this and
in delivering it he is as scrupulously
polite and careful as in buying larger
amounts. The butcher is the cooks
friend and will trim the meat and take
out the bones with loving care. Meat
is dear. Good beefsteak costs from
thirty-seven cents to fifty cents q
pound. Fish is very expensive, but
poultry is reasonable and good and
comparatively cheap. A good deal of
cooking in small households is done
with gas. and gas stoves are loaned by
the gas companies for this purpose.
Sugar, matches and all imported arti-
cles are dear, owing to the high tariff.
The lowest price for servants is ten
dollars month. Charwomen ask six
cents by the hour. Enslishwomen say
that life on the continent is much
more agreeable for Americans than
for themselves, owing to the fact that
in each consular town the consul and
his family make a nucleus for COLONY.
