press a prominent publisher said that
the great mass of English literature
that will remain is the product of men
who had other occupations than that

who held business or official positions
or were engaged in other than literary
work The speaker referred to ''the
melancholy spectacle of young men
and women, ambitious of literary fame,
who are only too ready to throw up
their positions in office or shop to buy
an inkpot and ream of paper and set
out on a literary career The mis-
take of making vocation of work
which may be only profitable as an avo-
cation is to be reckoned among the life
blunders which involve grave losses
and profound regret.

Since the cities of this country have
begun to give attention to the matter
of street cleanliness the resulting ben
movement has received an impetus that
nothing can check. Clean streets mean
low mortality rate, and no other rec
ommendation is of SO great advantage
to city. One of the first requirements
to enable a city to be clean in respect
to it's streets is smooth pavements.
Paris has probably the cleanest streets
of any city in the world, and the rea-
son why it's streets can be kept so
clean is that most of them are smooth
paved.

Japanese immigration is attracting
attention not only in the South Pacific,
where its effects have produced i'm
portant consequences in the relations
between Hawaii and Japan, but also on
the Pacific coast, says Bradstreet's s.
The entrance of Japanese immigrants
into California has attracted consider
able attention there also, though the
number of Japanese who have thus far
arrived to obtain employment in the
beet-felds is small. The men who ar
rived were engaged with great prompt
ness, circumstance which gave rise
to the suspicion that they came to the
United States under contract to labor.
Up to the present, at any rate, the
movement has not been of sufficient
volume to Justify the alarm expressed
over it in some quarters. According to
the best evidence obtainable regard
ing the situation, 1t appears that while
some Japanese are working in the
fields. about 95 per cent of the labor
of raising beets at jacksonville, one
of the centers of the industry, is done
by American laborers, so that unless
there should be a great increase in TN
volume of immigration the fears thai
have been expressed from time to time
regarding the threatening nature OF
Japanese competition on the Pacific
coast would seem to be exaggerated.

BLOOD ON THE KNIFE.
Experts in the Luetgert Trial So
Testify

testify
Chicago, Sept. 11.-There was con-
siderable progress in the Luetgert trial
yesterday, particularly during the af-
ternoon session. The day was devoted
to the hearing Of expert testimony 1t
was shown that the matter collected
in the crevices of the pocket knife
given by the alleged murderer to his
former sweetheart, Mrs. Feldt, on the
evening of his arrest, consisted of
blood and particles of muscle tissue.
One fact the state continuously at
tempted to establish, namely, that the
particles of bone, flesh and organic
matter taken from the vat and con-
meeting sluice, had at one time been
portions of human body, but though
their experts readily assented to the
proposition that the stuff resembled
the flesh and bone of the human ami
mai, they have refused to deny upon
cross-examination that they bore an
equal resemblance to the flesh and
bone OF any other warm blooded ami
NAL who eats similar food.
