AT his best, Keats is probably the
greatest poet, in perfection OF expression
magic of style, and ineffable distinction
of thought. since Shakespeare. His verse
has the classic quality. and he who had
no Greek, in his "Odes to the Nightin-
gale" and to Autumn" is as Greek as
Sophocles. We cannot trace the mode
of his inspiration; we cannot derive IL
from Milton. Spenser. or the Italians
Like the minstrel of Odysseus. ne Is

Thanyr:s. "reft him of sight. but gave
him song divine" so they gave 10 Keats
brief life. but all their charm. He Is not
a poet of ideas, of movements. or re-
volt. like Byron and Shelley, but a poet
OF life. and of It's mystery and beauty.
In him, at his best, Is nothing temporary

more than Spenser. he Is. or should De.

John w. Byron, the celebrated bac-

originated during his experiments with
tubercle bacilli, recalls again the
strange fatality which overtakes SO
many medical specialists. The list is
a long one Of all those who have sue
cumbed as victims to their special dis.
eases. DR.. Byron has died a martyr
to science, but he lived a hero of medi-
cine. He was known as the hero of
Swinburne Island, On which he spent
one whole month among the cholera
infected immigrants During his
brief but Morld-famous career he
braved death many times over in its
most hideous shapes. He defied tho
yellow fever plaques of Peru, the NAL
arial fever epidemics of Cuba, and the
cholera plaques Of both the Old and
the New World. He leaves. too. as
valuable legacy much new information

Whittier and Old Butler.

When John G. Whittier was child his
father had pair Of oxen named Buck
and Old Butler. They were treated al
most as family pets, and as they lay on
the hillside, chewing their cuds, the two
boys, Greenleaf and Matthew, used them
as armchairs, sitting upon their fore
heads and leaning against their horns.
Old Butler once saved the future poets
life in a way that entities him to evertast-
;rg remembrance. The story is told in
MIR. Pickard's biography. The boy went
to the pasture with bag Of salt for the
cattle. Old Butler, from the hilltop, saw
h.m coming and hurried down to meet
him. 1t happened that the slope was
pretty steep, and the heavy OK acquired
such momentum that he found himself
unable to stop.
A moment more and the boy would
have been crushed. But the OK pulled
himself together, leaped straight out into
the air, cleared the boy 'lead, and came
to the ground far below with tremendous
force, but happily without harm.-The
Youths Companion.

Revare OF the Wheel.

A French doctors conclusion is that no
one should ride bicycle who has ten
dency to excessive tension OF the arterial
system, for this tendency Is great
cause of heart disease. Therefore no
one should take up the use OF the wheel
without the express authorization Of a
physician: and the doctor should make
an examination not only before the pa
tient begins to use the wheel. but after
he has ridden 1t for time. Moreover, the
amateur should never ride at a high
speed. II ones riding Is regular and
daily, one may go faster and further
with safety, but II riding Is interrupted
even for few days. one must take 1t up
again with caution and delibsration. The
temptation to 20 fast should be steadily
resisted.

The popular round waists, full
sleeves and faring skirts will continue
with Us this autumn.
The renewal of Marie Antoinette
styles. has affected some of the latest
designs in silken goods.
Skirts of immense weight will not be
carried around as heretofore.
The most fashionable skirt is inter-
lined to the knee only.
Belts, collars, and cuffs have all
taken a change and by their effects
change the old gown into a very at
tractive new enc.
Two novelties in sleeves have quite
hidden the leg of mutton design.
Velvet, silk. or satin will be worn
with wooden goods.
Plaid silk sleeves, crush belt and
collar will prettily remodel many last
year gowns.
Plaid that are French, rather than
Scotch in design are worn, and are
considered stylish,
A new idea is a genuine stock of
satin cut bias eight iches wide, hem
med, the ends pointed and passed
from the front to The back OF the neck
and then brought to the front again,
where they are tied in a smart little
bow.
Three godet plaits at the back and
two on each side form stylish shirt.
For a stout figure narrow front is
10 hoc
apparently Tapped over to the front and
held down by three clusters OF three
large buttons.
1t is quite stylish to line the godet
skirts with morreen and no other lin
ing, binding every seem.
Skirts should clear the ground and
not drop at the centre in the back.
The short corsage pointed front and
back, is worn by stout figures.
Short revers are worn also large
sailor collars of silk or velvet that end
in two points at the belt.
Button trim the centre box plait, also
fasten belts and are put near the
shoulders and belt of ribbon braces
that end in a fluffy bow on the
shoulders.
let buttons edged with rhine stones
are worn on black gowns for ornaments
as they are no longer an article of gen.
eral utility.
In lining a circular skirt, cut the lin
ing straight on the sides where the
round curve comes, this presents sag
ging TO a great degree, except for
crepon which ought not to be cut in
this style.
Henrietta cloth is never out of style
for children dresses and ladies tea
gowns.
Princess gowns and effects are worn
fastened in the back by young ladies,
others have them hooked up on the
left side.
Crushed belts are only three inches
wide and are of bias cut silk, satin, OF
velvet tied on the left side.
Velvet ribbon are given a special
vogue this winter, from No. 9 up to
almost like sash ribbon.
Whether the collar is to be turn over
one or folded one, it must be very
high and have the air of perfection.
Soft wooden suitings in the blue and
green plaids, make very smart looking
street dresses, provided the wearer has
tall slender figure.
Light weight cloth with a smooth
surface bid fair to be popular, and as
they drape easily, are very pretty.
CreponS will be worn all during the
season, but have not the very heavy
curve, fancied in the past.
