Actors Identity.

There is good deal of folly talked about actors sinking themselves in their
 parts. "TIe is always MT. - himself"
 has been said of more than one dis tinguished actor of our time. Now, it is only the undistinctive, the common place man who can always cover up his artistic identity; he has nothing to cov- CT. But the artist who has a person. ality can deceive the eye only when the dress, the disguise, the makeup in it. self--as, say, in 'King Lear"--is itself disguise. But in part like Hamlet, or Malvolio, or Benedick, who can achieve personal extinction save the col orless fellow? Each notable actor rep resents character through the expres- sion of his own physical machine and artistic temperament, and the part he plays is always colored by that Were ever two great Othellos alike? Two great Hamlets? Two great Lears '? Two great Macbeths? Let us leave to the actor the accent of his personality on the part he plays; 1t will be there whether we do so or not. say these  urged against MT. Tree, as against MT. Irving, that he has mannerisms-th i've always know it's Tree" They want him to do the superhuman thing, in playing his exquisite Beau Austin or his touching fanciful Gringoire to be as little palpable in his personality as in playing the strong, wierd, but not nota- ble Issachar, or Falstaff, where he is stuffed out of all semblance, and natur- ally adds to the "stufflng'' by the force of his imagination and certain physical tricks in the game of acting. I say tricks as l would speak of an artist us- ing a certain feint of color to produce an illusion-a really difficult and meri- torious thing.-Gilbert Parker in Lip pincott's.

Dlokens, pInce in Literaturc.


 The glory of Charles Dickens will all ways be in his "Pickwick," his first, his best, his inimitable triumph. It is true that it is a novel without a plot. without beginning, middle, or end, with much moro caricature than of charac- ter, with some extravagant tomfoolery, and plenty of vulgarity. But It's orig inality, it's irrepressble drolleries, its substantial human nature and its in- tense vitality place it quite in class by itself. We can no more group it, or test it by any canon of criticism, than we could "Pantagruel' or Faust" There are some works of genius which seem to transcend all criticism, of which the very eXtravagances and incoherenc- es increase the. charm. And Pickwick ought to live with Gil Bias and Tristram Shandy. In deeper vein, the tragic scenes of oliver Twist and in Bar naby Rudge" must long hold their ground. for they can be read and re- read in youth, in manhood, in old age The story of Dotheboys hall, the Tar mouth memories of Copperfield, little Nell, Mrs. Camp, Micawber Toots, Captain Cutie, Pecksniff, and many more will long continue to delight the youth of the English-speaking races. But few writers are remembered so keenly by certain characters, certain scenes, incidental whimsies, and so lit tie for entire novels treated strictly as works of art. There is no reason what ever for pretending that all these scores of tales are at all to be com pared with the best of them, or that the invention of some ini1nitable scenes and characters is enough to make q supreme and faultless artist The young and uncritical make too much of Charles Dickens when they fail to dis tinguish between his best and his worst. Their fastidious seniors make too little of him when they note his many short comings and fail to see that in certain elements of humor he has no equal and no rival, If we mean Charles Dickens to live we must fix our eye on these su- preme gifts alone.-Frederic Harrison in the Forum.

at the further end of the room hold the library, which grows steadily, if slowly, by contributions from different sources. Some girls are looking over the bulletin board, which contains notices of church services and summer sketching classes, addresses of doctors, dentists, French teachers, boarding houses, and an nouncements of the sale of students furniture.
 Last December the second annual ex- hibition of the woman artists of Paris was held at the club. The evening of the opening reception the guests, in pas sing through the rambling corridors, had an opportunity of seeing many of the students rooms. These range in price from $5 to $14 per month. All are furnished plainly but comfortably, and arranged to appear as much as possible like sitting rooms. One feature is the absence oe the cumbersome English bed Tn its place is a low, rather mar row, French sommier and mattress which, with a cover and several pill lows, is used as a divan in the day time.
 A newcomers room may be distin- guished by its competitive plainness, but it will not be long before she will have about her all manner of artistic trlhes. Even those obliged to economize most closely soon pick up nice bits of draperies, old brass, and pottery dur ing the rag fair at Christmas, the ham fair before Easter, and from the old temple. The room of a student who has been over some time shows the result of many such expeditions. A gray green ishnet makes misty shadows as 1t hangs in graceful curves from the ceiling. Photographs and summer sketches are pinned up on the walls. a great Dutch milk can by the window is filled with holly, a by stands pair of Breton sabots. On a charming writ ing desk, improvised from an orange box, is quaintly carved old hour glass; a Batticelli bas-relief and a graceful Tanagra figure catch the light from side window; brass kettle is singing on tiny three-legged stove, and a huge ladle of Spanish copper gleams like coal from @ dusky corner.
 In the garden is St. Luke's chapel, given by Dr. Morgan, rector of Holy Trinity. The Rev. Samuel P Kelly is the successor of the late Mr. Newell, whose best monument is the work he did among the students of the Latin quarter. Characteristic of his unselflsh thoughtfulness for others was his plan for relieving and cheering the lives of those studying abroad, which, aided by timely generosity, has developed into the American Girls club.

There Was Quite a Lively Selling, Movement
 on the Exchange.
 New York, Jan. 3.-There was quite a lively selling movement at the stock exchange this morning, and the feeling was more bearish than for long time. Prices broke from E to 3A per cent, the latter in New Jersey Central, which fell to S51a. Certificates in the names of old time holders made their appearance in the street, and it was ar gued from this that a change in the dividend rate was imminent.
 The grangers were decidedly heavy, St. Paul falling to 55 Northwest to 94B, Rock Island to 6015 and Burlington and Quincy to 691s, decline of 4 to 1 per cent. The poor showing made by the St. Paul for the fourth week and month of December and that of the Rock Is- land for December created a very bear ish feeling on these issues. Besides of- ficials of the Rock Island and St. Paul were out with gloomy interviews re- garding the outlook for the coming six months, and this helped along the de- cline
 Chicago Gas was another weak spot and fell to 711a on the revival of the talk of cutting the dividend. The di-

Those who think of him as solemn pundit of aesthetics may be amazed to know that he delighted in very simple and farcical spectacles and in the broadest of humor His favorite among modern playwrights was MT. Plnero, and shall never forget going with him to see "The Magistrate" when that piece was originally pro duced. Not a schoolboy in the house was more convulsed with laughter, more enchanted at the romping "busi- ness" of the play, than the author of "Marius." He had the gift, when I knew him first. of inventing little far
 cical dialogues, into which he intro duced his contemporaries; in these the rector of Lincoln generally figured, and Pater had rare art of initiating Pat tison's speech and peevish intonation.
 One playful fancy, persisted in so long that even close and old friends were deceived by 1t, was the figment of a group of relations-Uncle Capsicum and Uncle Guava, Aunt Fancy, (who tainted when the word ''leg' was men tioned,) and Aunt Tart for whom no acceptable present could ever be found.) These shadowy personages had. been talked about for so many years that at last, l verify believe, Pa ter had almost persuaded himself of their existence Perhaps these little touches will be thought too trifiing to be mentioned, but I hold that they were all part and parcel of his com plex and shrouded intellectual life, and therefore not to be rgotten.-Edmund Gosse in the Contemporary Review.
