Du Mauriers "Trilby'' is so thoroughly
human. so free from morbidness and the
disposition to touch the unclean thing that
il atones for multitude of sins in contem-
poraneous fiction. Not that Trilby and her
artist associates are faultless; far from il.
They love, and hate, and carouse, and quar-
rel, and go wrong ir just the way that real
people in their places would do; but like
real people, too, they pick themselves up,
make up their quarrels, stumble into
straighter paths and go laundering on
through the world-not always happy, but
always with hope in their hearts and
enough of love and friendship for each
other and those around them to keep their
souls alive and make life worth living
They are real people to all intents and
purposes, and because they are and be-
cause their story is told by one who enters
into their life and loves them, and is in
sympathy with them, is ii so charming.

The New York Sun has discovered what
il considers a curious fact. namely, that
in walking the practice OF swinging the
arms is followed much more by men than
by women. The Suns observer has even
pursued the subject so far TO stand on

street and take notes, with the result OF
finding that out of every hundred men
sixty swing their arms, while only twelve
women out of a hundred do so. The Sun

1t is worth while remembering now
that the last stages of the long strug-
gle have been reached that, just as
the Mckinley act has remained in
force nearly two years after the cleo
ton OF President Cleveland, the new
tariff, if passed, will be likely to re-
main in effect at least until 1897. Even
though the Republicans should get
control of both houses of Cong ess
they will be powerless to radically
amend the tariff laws until after tho
expiration OF President Cleveland's
term, and not then unless in the elec-
tion of 1856 they should get entire
control of the Government. The tariff
bill now in conference is therefore to
be regarded not as temporary meas
ure, which the people may overturn
by their votes next November, but as
an economic scheme that is sure to
affect the business of the country for
three or four years, and possibly for a
much longer term. - Public Ledger,
