other Matters Worth Reading.
The literary pitfall, says the New York
Times, is, perhaps, the most amusing of
all the traps into which unwary feet lead
themselves. In the curious sorting up of
sotourning summer households its deVel-
opment is frequent.
At a Maine mountain house, for ex-
ample, are staying a well known New
York man of letters and-other persons.
One of the latter, a woman, is bookish, if
not wise. And the society of authors is
dear to her.
Come here, Mr.. L. she said the other
day, addressing the writer referred to,
and in her calm confidence of literary
comraderie she did not care who heard

1t is most amazing title to begin with.
Why, there isn't a word in it about a ship
or even the slightest reference to the
sea-"
And up in a little New England VILLAGE
there is a circulating library, which
courteously offers its PRIVILEGES to stran-
gers within the gates of the town. One
such strolled into the room on its only
open day of the week lately, admiring the
reading instinct which made the library
possible in so small settlement A
Misunderstanding woman, one of the mag
mates of the village, sat in an arm chair
looking over the catalogue to help a
friends selection.
Here is The Autocrat of the Break
fast Table, by Holmes she commented,
easily. "Ive never read this particular
one of her works, but everything that
Mary j. Holmes writes is good"

clear day, Boston HarbOr can be seen.
The custom of having women pail
bearers at funerals, says the Louisville
Courier-Journal, will probably soon be es-
tablished mere. There have been several
funerals of that kind in the past year
The pail bearers who bore the remains of
Miss Huber to her grave were eight young
girls, dressed from head to foot in white
Miss Huber lived at Preston and Broad
way, and died last Wednesday The
funeral took place Friday afternoon from
the residence. The young ladies wore
white caps, gloves, dresses and Shoes
the emblems of purity. Naturally, they
attracted a good deal of attention, 1t being
so unusual for females TO act in the ca
pacity OF pail bearers; but many were
heard TO commend it as beautiful de-
parture from the old custom, particu-
larly in the case of the death OF young
women.
An item found in an unidentified Eng
lsh clipping gives women smokers the
advantage at least of aristocratic exam
pies. The Empress of Austria smokes
thirty to forty Turkish cigarettes
every day. On her writing table there is
silver box with fine relief work, filled
with cigarettes, and a gold ash tray The
czarina also Yields to the passion for niCo-
tine, but she only smokes in her boUdoir
Her anxiety may plead her excuse; but
queen Marguerite of Italy, whose life is
freer from care, smokes also, and smokes
much, but always in solitude. The Queen
Regent of Spain consumes Egyptian cigar
cites in large quantities; eX-Jueen Nat
allie of Servia has a great store of cigar
cites of every kind the Queen of kou-
mania carries q little golden box filed
with the same means of delight, while

"Snobbishness in education is becom-
ing a very apparent evil in New York, "
said "nobly planned" matron, who, says
the New York Tribune, although a fin
lshed woman of the world, had sufficient
discrimination and SeIf-reSpect TO separate
the char from the wheat; and VINO did
not propose to have the simple. childlike
mind of her young daughter vulgariLed by
this most obnoxious of fashionable vices.
This formation of classes on a social
basis consider most Objectionable" she
went on. Fancy giving the charge Of

ally, to man or woman VINO chooses his
or her classes VIGOROUSLY only from among
the smartest set. No system of teach.
ing, however clever, could reconcile me to
such false basis for education. IL would
be like making ropes of sand. Do / not
believe IN the power of association! As
suredly do; and l am most DESTROYS that
my children should be only with those
whose home culture is of the best. Is this
found only in the smart set, think YOU l
trow not. And 1t is the snobbIshness of
these classes that l object to, the
vulgar, pushing, striving snobOishness of
some of the fashionable teachers Of the
day which must necessarily contaminate
more or less, the children under their
cnarge. And now that private classes
have become a fayorite method of educa-
ton, l think the parents should more
carefully consider this tendency as very
serious objection"
II was my good fortune in 1870, says a
writer in the New York Press, TO make
