Tho Ideal Academy Votes.

The Journal of Education has been
Collecting votes for the constitution of
the ideal academy of 10 Englishmen
Of letters. The results are somewhat
surprising and can only be accounted
for~on the theory that plebiscites in gen.
eral are mighty uncertain in their oper-
alton. At the head Of the list as made
up by the majority of the votes stands
Mr.. Ruskin, who is already considered
here rs being something more than a
declining influence. But it is more sur
prising still to find Mr.. Lecky and Mr..
Swinburre bracketed as equal seconds
Herbert Spencer appears to be nearly
as popular as Mr.. Meredith and little
more so than Mr.. Morley, while Mr.
Arthur Balfour, on the strength Of his
metaphysical output, finds himself on
the same level as his newly appointed
poet laureate, Alfred Austin. Mr.. Bryce,
whose great book on America one would
have thought might have secured him a
better fate, is on a par with Sir John
Lubbock, and the Duke of Argyll fol-
lows close upon their heels. Anthony
Hope and Dean Farrar are tied up to-
gether, while at the bottom of the list
there struggle il u curious assortment,
including Mrs. Humphry Ward, Mr..
Pincro, the dramatist and Lord kel-
win, of all men i'll the world. 1t is in
teresting to note that 12 years ago the
same journal pursued the same course,
and that half of the 40 of 1883 are al.
ready dead, including nearly all the
great ones, such as Tennyson, Matthew
Arnold, Browning, Froude, Freeman
and Cardinal Newman, while George
Meredith, who today occupies the fourth
place upon the list. was then only sixth
from the bottom of it.-New York Mail

rltation recalls that which appears in

foHEd, as i'll the Chinese primrose, de-
pos';ci between the cellular wall and
the CGt.cie of the terminal ccll.ilc Of the

The Desire to Leave a Name Behind Us.


We have an involuntary reverence
fer all witnesses OF history, be they ami
mate or lnanimatc, men, animals or

hind is in every man and man child,
from the strong leader who plants his
fame in nations glory ard teaches
unborn generations to know him to the
boy who carves his initials upon his
desk at school. Few women have it.
Perhaps the wish to be remembered is
what fills that one ounce or so Of matter
by which modern statisticians asscr:
that the average mans brain is heavier
than the average woman s. The wish
III ourselves makes Us respect the salts
faction of it which the few obtain. Prob
ably few men have not secretly longed
to see their names set up for ages, like

middle Of the portico of St. Peters.
