One very pretty buckle intended for

by enameled leaves, so that they looked
like tiny dewdrops that had escaped the

A specially handsome belt buckle was
shown in old gold Romanesque design, with
one immense topaz surrounded by smaller
stones OF the same kind. The dull color OF
the gold and the amber light Of the gems
made one think of the dark beauties of
the east. Such buckles as that ought to
become family heirIooms. Other buckles
which are exceedingly artistic are Of Rus
sian enamel and silver.
The buckles and clasp for mun ribbons
add a pretty touch to girlish toilets. These
come in silver and gold, and may be either
plain or engraved The idea Of having the
monogram either on the small buckles
which are worn on the ribbon, as to
come just below the shoulder, or on the
clasp is popular.

quoises, with diamonds or pearls for heads,

BOOKS IN ENGLAND.
The Great Bulk of BritOns Do Not

From the Forum.
The great bulk of the English read moth
ing. literally nothing. and ne who knows
something of rural England will agree to
this. The casual and occasional reader
reads fiction. biography, history, travels,
and no small amount OF theology in a d.
luted form. The great middle class read
ard trust. their periodical literature and
their newspape the students, the real
readers, who feed their minds as other men
their bodies, read with more thoroushness
and patience than our students. The en-
trance examination for any college at Ok
ford, Cambridge, Edinburgh or Dublin is
trifilng as compared with the entrance eX-
animation for Harvard University, but on
the other hand, both the classical and
mathematical men who take the highest
rank here go through an amount of reading
that our men hardly dream Of
England has nothing like the number of
average well-read NEIL tx one finds in
America, but America has nothing like the
number of thoroughly well-read, widely
Travelled, hiShly-trained men in politics, and
in all the professions that one finds here.
In America there is widespread education
of the hare; in England there is, confined to
narrow limits, the education of the tortoise,
and there is fable that the world is
poised upon the back of a tortoiSei At any
rate England carries a very heavy prcpor-
tionate rate of the worlds responsibility.
and England and America together would
seem to have little to fear from the future,
for, after all, what men read l.; not a
crucial test of their capacity. Who has not
known men with enough university Sheep
skin to make wardrobe of who were vacil-
lating incompetents?
Who forgets how small were the libraries
and the opportunities of Washington. Lin
coin and Grant? The English people are
slow-in the main, dull and they care little
for distractions in print; but if Mr.. Benja-
min Kidds view of social evolution be cor
rect. and the consensus of the competent
apparently favors it, then the prosperity
of a nation is not dependent primarily upon
it's intellectual alertness. and John Bull has
little to fear from his lack of book learnin g
and his love of the open air.
