TransIators and TRANSACTIONS.

The translator is reported to be badly
paid by the publisher, Ind this to the
general reader, naturally suggests in
feriority in the nature of his wares. He
is generally ranked among the unskilled
workmen who hang about the market
place of literature and are glad of odd
jobs.
If this low estimate of the translator
services were confined to the general
reader, it would matter comparatively
little, but it is unfortunately too often
shared by the translator himself. There
are of course conspicuous exceptions, but
for the most part the industrious writers
who "do into English" much of the
continental fiction read in this country
would themselves readily disclaim any
very close resemblance to Goethe's noble
portrait of the interpreter Of the ma
tions" whose office, whatever may be
said of the inadequacy of translation, is
and remains one of the greatest dignity
and importance " With the dignity of
their office they are not concerned. They
are ignorant of its Importance, and the
result is that foreign authors are con-
stantly presented to US in garb so SLOW
emily that no company that was not Sc
renely Indifferent to the quality of liter
airy workmanship would admit them at
all.
Those who have given their attention
to this matter have sometimes wondered
why, in so benevolent world, no one
has yet attempted to organize society
for the prevention of cruelty to foreign
authors. These persons do, not indeed
always belong to the class described by
philanthropists as deserving, yet the
wrongs inflicted ON them and the limo.
cent helplessness of their attitude should
surely appeal to some generous SOUL

Total Loss of Memory.

A very curious instance of those sud
den and total losses of memory which
raise such perplexing and appalling
problems as to the nature of the person.
atty of man is reported this week from
Brighton. While sitting ON the sea front
woman felt something break in her
head. She thereupon became unable to
tell her name, address or anything con-
nected with her past life. She is at pres
ent in the Brighton workhouse, her con-
tinual cry being, "Oh, shall l get my
memory again?" Her clothing does not
contain a single mark or initial whereby
she might be identified. She is a respect
ably dressed woman, apparently fairly
we'll to do. The following is her descrip-
ton: Age about Sc; dressed neatly in
black; appears to be a nurse or compan-
ion; well educated; wears a wedding
ring
We hold, and it seems to us are bound
to hold, that the notion of life beyond
the grave which will not be endowed
with memory of this life is tantamount
b humiliation. But if the state Of this
poor woman is permanent, then she has
already suffered a sort of humiliation,
though of course death may revive her
lost faculty. Still, if she goes on living
she will in effect be another person, and
how are these two personalities to be
linked and reconciled; In truth, the
whole thing is one Of the most soul shak-
ing of mysteries. -LOndon Spectator.

Ailing Heirs to Thrones.

The Czarowitz is in the last stages of
consumption and he is not expected to
leave Copenhagen, where he now is,
alive. Archduke Francis Ferdinand of
Austria is in very critical state from
disease of the lungs. He has been given
unlimited absence from the army and is
under medical treatment in remote
health resort in the Tyrol.
The young crown prince of Italy is
also ailing to such degree as to more
than ever convince people that he will
not live to succeed to his fathers throne.
The heir to the Grand Duke of Baden
is consumptive and has no heir. Prince
Albert of Flanders, unlike his elder
brother, the lamented Prince Baldwin,
who persisted in such mysterious man
ner, is extremely delicate, and so, too,
is the little crown prince of Germany,
whose health is a matter of grave anx-
iety to his parents. In fact, his second
brother, Prince Eitel, his superior in
stature, weight, cleverness and general
health, is almost universally regarded
as the real heir to the throne.
No one would dream of describing
the Prince of Wales as a healthy man,
while his son. the Duke Of York, has
never entirely recovered from the effects
of the typhoid fever with which he was
laid low just about the time of the death
of his elder brother. In one word, one
may look all over Europe without find
ing a single heir to throne in whose
health and physique his future subjects
can place confidence. Chicago Record.

THE ex-OuEEN OF MADAGASCAR.
A Remarkable Woman, Who Goes Bare
footed In Worth Gowns.

A Remarkable Woman, Who Goes Bare
footed In Worth Gowns.
The defeated queen of Madagascar,
the third largest island in the world, is,
according to the London Woman, one of
the most interesting women of the mo-
ment 1t is true that she has lately been
in trouble, but it seems now that the
chivalrous French government will
leave her almost as we'll off as ever. Her
majesty's great charm lies in the orig
Of life. She wears So, 900 Worth dresses,
and goes about in them barefooted. She
chews tobacco and drinks champagne all
day long. She imports perfumes from
Paris, but uses palm oil ON her hair.
Many similar illustrations of her origi-
nality might be given. Her great passion,
however, was the acquisition of Worth
dresses. She wore them everywhere, no
matter how injurious to them the occu-
patton she was engaged in might be.
Visitors saw her majesty sitting ON the
floor of her palace busily transferring a
meal Of rice, oil and chicken to her
mouth with her fingers, and incidental
" spelling magnificent Worth creation
of silk, velvet and lace. The revenues
she derived from her unfortunate peo-
pie were sufficient to purchase her all
the dresses she needed. M
She scarcely approved of all the vexa-
tious details of civilized feminine DRESS
For instance, corsets, stockings and
shoes formed no part Of her wardrobe.
When her majesty crossed the street on
wet day, the foreign residents of her
capital were treated to spectacle which
amused them, but which the natives
gazed at with awe and reverence. I'm
der these circumstances it may be imag
ined that her majesty was very much
panied when she had to go to war with
the French, the source Of all her finery.
But they proposed to annex her country,
and she had to make a stand. She ha-
rangued her people in the streets Of her
capital, Antananarivo, and told them it
was holy war, and made them swear
to follow to the death. At the first en-
counter with the French they showed
themselves useless.
Now, after a march into the interior
of Madagascar, during which they suf
fered terribly from disease and other
hardships, the French have arrived at
Antananarivo, the capital. At first the
queen fled to the forest. Her supply Of
Worth dresses had been getting low, and
she was in rags. On this account, proba-
bly,, she has come to terms with the
French. 1t is announced that she will
be permitted to reign as queen under
French protection, but that her husband,
who is likely to be more dangerous to
their interests, will be banished from
the island The queen will have money
enough to buy reasonable number of
dresses. She is good looking, having
regular features, without negro charac-
teristics, and light brown complexion.

IN HUB MARKETS.
Prices For Butter Have Risen
Still Higher.

Advance Has No Effect Upon Cheese.
Slight Advance In Eggs-No Important
Changes In Vegetables.
BOSTON. Dec 11.-Still higher prices are
quoted for butter this week. The Elgin
market has advanced 2 cents, and New
York is also up about 2 cents on finest
fresh creamery. AS usual, Boston moves
up slowly but the full advance will have
to be paid in order to get a share of the
fresh make.
Some persons assert that prices will go
up2 or cents more before the top Is
reached, while Others are of the opinion
that the market is now at its highest
point But all this is guess work.
The state laws against the sale OF oleo-
margarine are being strictly enforced and
there Is no doubt that this has materially
increased the consumption of butter. In
order to offset this, there should have been
larger make of winter butter; but, from
all accounts, the tendency is the other
way in the west.
There is no export demand to speak
of. A few hundred tubs were taken last
week, but all of low grade. Current
prices are too high for the English mar
ket, and great change must take place
there before any export movement can be
expected.
The advance in butter has no influence
on cheese, and the market Is rs tame as
ever The finest twins cannot be sold at
over II to 11H cents, and in lots as wanted
by the trade. Large singles rule at 10 to
10H cents, and hard to sell at over 10 cents
in large lots. EARLY made cheese is quiet
at to cents.
The demand for cheese is not likely to
improve until after the turn of the year,
will want more supplies. At present they
are kept pretty full by the through ship
ments from Canada.
.. Other Produce.
There has been good demand for fresh
eggs and prices have advanced little
Best western sold at 23 to "a cents, and
fancy Michigan at 25 cents. Eastern fresh
"a to % cents, with small supply. Fancy
new laid 80 cents and upward. Refriger-
ator stock II to IS cents. The cold storage
stock was reduced 369S cases last week.
No change of Importance in beans, po-
tatoes, or any kind of vegetables The
potato market is very much depressed,
and dealers say the best eastern hebrons
are hard to sell at over SO cents bushel,
in carloads. Apples are steady and in
moderate demand
The poultry market is over-supplied
with chickens, and the best are slow at ~
to IA cents. Western 9 to ID cents
Northern turkeys are in light receipt, but
there are plenty of western at 10 to ID
