he writes as follows on Dickens place

"But few writer's are remembered so

scenes, incidental whimsies, and so lit

WHAT THE SCHOLARLY WORLD IS
TALKING ABOUT.

In writing upon "The Mental Char.
acteristics of the japanese" in the Jan
uary edition of Scribner's Magazine,
Professor George +. Ladd, Of Yale, says
this of their attitude toward foreigners ::
"The real and predominating atti-
tude of the popular mind toward the
foreigner is still the same unreasOning
sentiment that it has ever been. A few
and only few, even of the educated
Japanese, have any intelligent and
sympathetic knowledge of that type OF
mental life which has been developed
by Western and Christian civilization.
Among the people of all classes, unn-
formed, unreasOning feeling toward all
foreigners still underlies the crust Of
enforced or selfish and conventional
pOliteness. A well-principled, or even
cosmopolitan, feeling toward all
humankind, an enthusiasm of human
ity,' is rare and difficult thing to find
in Japan. What but the knowledge Of
this mental attitude of his cOuntrymen
could have influenced an Intelligent
native preacher to say, in EXTREMIST
praise of the power of divine grace : 1t
can make you lov' even foreigner" ."

A New Word.

DR.. Parkhurst has coined new
word, and its aptness and clever con-
structiOn are quite likely to make it
famous. The eminent reformer's
word Id "Andromania," and of it he
says:
There is an element in the feminine
word that is suffering from what |
shall venture to call "Audromania." "
The word is not an English one, for the
reason, suppose, that English Ian.
guage makers never supposed that We
should need such a term. 1t is cou-
strncted on the same principle as the
word "AnglOmauia," which means a
passionate aping of everything that is
English. AndrOmania means similarly
a passionate aping of everything that
is mannish."
DIR. Parhurst makes bis new word
serve as the title for his first article in
The Ladies' Home Journal, and uses il
for vigorous treatment of the type of
women for whom he invented it.

TRAVELLING LIBRARIES.

The University of the State Of New
York has recently put into successful
operation new system of lending
books though travelling libraries. The
scheme is explained by William r.
Eastman in the present issue of the
Forum
1--WE may say" he writes, that 25,-
600 books have been read as result of
the travelling libraries. They have
been good books and have left their
marks on multitudes of minds These
libraries have everywhere promoted an
interest in good reading, and have al
ready led to the establishment of some
important libraries. They have been
cordially received, and are more in de-
mand now than ever before. As "a
public investment they haye fully vim
dicated the wisdom of their projectors
and have proved worthy of the con
tinued interest of the State. The sys-
TEN admits, too, of indefinite enlarge
ment. Special-subject libraries may be
multiplied as fast as they are wanted
and the addition of general libraries
can keep pace with the publications ol
good books"
Smyrna times., 1895-01-30

Strange as it may seem, the settle
ment OF the Japanese-Chinese war in
demnity may mean much for this coun.
try. If the indemnity, which ia sure
to be large one, is made payable in
gold, it will cause heavy drain upon
our already depleted treasury, as much
of it would undoubtedly be drawn
from this country. If, on the other
hand. the payment be made in silver
the withdrawal of the white metal from
this country would stimulate the silver
producing States, and cause prosperity
to once more smile upon them. 1t will
be to China's interest to pay it in silver
and to tho interest Of Japan to have it
paid in gold, So that diplomatic battle
will follow the clash of arms, and the
United States will be from purely self
ish motives a very interested observer.

A Study of Incomes.
WEALTH IS MORE DISTRIBUTED IN THIS
COUNTRY THAN IN GREAT BRITAIN.

The following figures, taken from the
last English census, reveal some inter
esting facts concerning the economical
situation of Great Britain.
About 25O,OOO persons in Great
Britain have an annual income of $1,000
and 100000 have an income of $500
Thus it would appear that only one
Englishman out of every five is cap
able of supporting a family 1t is to
be borne in mind that $500 a year
amounts to only 81 81 day, which is
not very much for family of four per.
sons. On the other hand, there are in
the United Kingdom $4,000 families
having ar annual income of about
$4,000, and 5000 families with an in-
come of more than S25,000
In the United States, according to
the statistics complied by r. G. Shear,
man, we have 100000 familiesCor about
two millions Of people, whose annual
income amounts to $4,000, and more
than 10000 families having an income
of more than $25 900.
Taking iuto account the difference
in population between the United states
and Great Britain, it still will be evi
dent that not only can America boast
of greater number of rich people thar
the United Kingdom. but that wealth
is more equally distributed and les,

Mr.. Cleveland.

This is what Mr.. Watterson has to
say To make an issue, and not to fight
it out; to arouse party following and
to disappOint it; to come TO the scratch
when it is too late; in short, ever to
seek both horns of the diemma-to
wish to eat his cake and have it-these
are the features which distinguish
Grover Cleveland from Andrew Jack
son, who never feared to burn his
bridges behind him, and vas always
found at the head of the column, his
sword flashing, its scabbard thrown
away.
Mr. Cleveland is, as we have often
said, a master, not leader. A more
hard-working man does not live. He
feels that he is responsible for every
thing as if the Government were his
private property, the people his chill
dren. In cheese pairing and other small
ways he has saved "a great deal of
money. In reforms of detail, which
will not live after him, ne has elevated
aud strengthened the public service
But he has for the time wrecked a
great party and destroyed great
cause. 1t will be long time before we

THE ONLY SCHOOL OF JOURNALISM.
In the January issue of the Forum

"The country printing office" he
writes, ''is really our only school of

sitiOns on all the metropolitan papers
There is no place where preparatory

Mr.. George Smith, of Tacony, Pa, says

of my joints were twisted out of shape. AT

Munyon's Rheumatism Cure. The action
of this remedy was wonderfully quick, and,

Munyon's Rhuematism Cure is guaran-
teed to cure rheumatism in any part of the
body, Acute or muscular rheumatism

fails to cure sharp, shooting pains in the
arms, legs, sides, back or breast, or soreness
in any part of the body in from one to three
