of a redoubtable line whose battle was
with the passing hour, whose glories
are all in the days TO come.
Since the time Of Scott we have seen
many fashions In fiction come and go;
each generation naturally seeks diff
ferent expression of it's experience and
its ideals, but the author of "Waver-
ley," amidst all vicissitudes of chang
ing modes, has kept his pre-eminence
in two hemispheres as the master of
imaginary narrative. Even those of us
who make no pretensions to the critical
faculty may see the two-fold reason OF
this enduring masterhood. Both mem
tally and morally Scott was one of the
greatest writers who ever lived. His
mere memory, his power of acquiring
and relating serviceable facts, was al
most inconceivable to ordinary men,
and his instructive Imagination was
nothing short Of prodiglous. The lochs
and hills of Scotland swarm with the
imaginary phamtoms with which he
has peopled them for all time; the his
torical personages of past centuries are
jostled in our memories by the charac-
ters he has created, more vivid i'm vital
ity and color than the real souldiers
and lovers with whom he has cast their
lives,

It's probably the morality Of Scott

that appeals more strongly to the many
than even his enormous mental powers.
His ideals are lofty and pure; his her
oes are brave and strong, not exempt
from human infirmities, but always de-
voted to ends more or less noble. His
heroines, whom he frankly asks you to
admire, are beautiful and true. They
walk in womanly dignity through his
pages, whether garbed as peasants or
princesses, with honest brows uplifted
with eyes gentle but fearless, pure in
heart and delicate in speech, valor,
purity and loyalty-these are the es-
sential and undying elements of the
charm which this great magician has
soothed and lulled the WEAKNESS of the
world through three generations. For
this he has received the uncritical, un-
grudging love of grateful millions.
This magic still has power to charm
all wholesome and candid souls. AL
though so many years have passed
since his great heart brokein the valiant
struggle against evil fortune, his poems
and his tales are read with undimin-
ished interest and perennial pleasure.
He loved with a single, straightfor-
ward affection man and nature, his
country and his kind; he has his re-
ward in a fame forever fresh and un-
hackneyed. The poet who was an in
FAINT clapped his hands and cried Bon
ME" to the thunderstorm, and whose
dying senses were delighted by the
farewell whisper of the Tweed ripping
DER its pebbles, is quoted in every as
pect of sun and shadow that varies the
face of Scotland. The man who blew
so clear a clarion of patriotism lives
forever in the speech of those who seek
line to describe the love of country.
The robust, athletic spirit of his tales
of old, the royal quarrels, the instruc-
tive loves, the stanch devotion of the
Incompatible creations of his mex
haustible fancy-all these have their
special message for the minds of our
day, fatigued with problems, with
doubts and futile questionings. His
work is a clear, high voice from a sim
pier age than ours, breathing a song
of lofty and unclouded purpose, of sin
cere and powerful passion, to which
the world. however weary and pre-
occupied, must needs still listen listen
and attend.

ABOUT THE MOSQUITO.
A Few Truths About Our Summer
Visitor from New Jersey.


From the Boston Transcript
There are four truths respecting the
mosquito which modern science has es-
tablshed:
Flrst-A mosquito cannot live in air
free from malarial poison. Untainted
air has the same effect on him as a
healthy community on a doctor. 1t de-
prives him of patients, and he must
go to less favored localities to prac-
tice his profession.
Second-The lymph, which flows
through an automatic valve when it
inserts its proboscis, contains a modi-
fled germ of the malarial fever, and,
according to the well-settled law of
incubation, the introduction of the
weak germ renders harmless a subse-
quent attack by the strong germ.
Third-The mosquito never swallows
human blood. 1t cannot. The fact
that it's body becomes discolored and
swells, while probing, is caused by the
discoloration of the lymph in contact
with the blood and the muscular effort
of inserting the probe.
Fourth-A mosquito will never insert
it's lancet in a person not susceptible to
an attack of malaria. In this respect
it's sense is more accurate than the
most skilled and experienced patholo-
gist. This also proves, not only its un-
erring instinct, but that 1t never wounds
unnecessarily. Its thrusts are those
of skilled and humane surgeon, and
even more unselfish, for hope of a fee
never quickens him, nor does the nrale-
diction of his patient deter him in the
fulfillment of his duty.
Remember, then, that the presence
of a mosquito is an infallible sign that
malaria is in the air, and that you are
exposed to it, and when you hear that
well-known but solemn note of warm
ing, do not treat him as a foe but as a
friend

A DRAWING ROOM TEA.
I had a great treat the other day.
A friend of mine, the wife of an NJ. p.
and a most lovely and lovable woman,
at whose house 1 have often had the
honor of singing, sent me cards to her
Drawing Room Tea" and Miss Rad
ical aud 1 went. She had just come
home from Her Malesty's Drawing
Room, whittier she had gone to pay
her respects, and was in all the glory
of her court gown, veil and feathers
as were also some other ladies there,
who had been to the same function.
These teas are given every Drawing
Room day, by those who attend, so
that their friends can come in and see
their beautiful dresses before they take
them off. 1t was a treat. The gowns,
jewels, delicate Colors and wonderful
bouquets were really indescribably
beautiful, and it has never been vouch-
safed to me to be so near, and to have
such a good, long satisfying look at
really magnificent Paris gowns be-
fore. The materials were simply ex-
quisite. the shades perfect, and the
diamonds ard other jewels with which
these lovely confections were en-
broidered on skirt, bodice and
train, were enough to make one imas;-
inc herself in fairyland, in CONF
pany with Queen Nab and her
attendants. The trains were three
yards long, and lined with the same
costly material as composed the
outside of the gowns, only being of
different color-so that my friend
says she will have no less than three
party and ball dresses out of her court
gown this year, the one being the
original dress itself, the second to be
made out of the outside of the court
train, and the third of it's lining. One
never wears court trains anywhere
but at court so she will never wear it
again, and will use it up in this way.
This was Mrs. P's third or fourth APP
pearance at court, and the gowns each
time cost a small fortune. What a
peace of mind it must be to be rich!
One doesn't need to worry over tiny,
cheap, badlymade dresses then, for
even these gowns are to my friend
more a matter of course than are Or
dinary everyday, workaday dresses to
me. But then that is her workaday
world, while mine is quite different.

FOR SWEARING PURPOSES.
The English Language Is Not Equal
to Some Others.

A pleasing testimonial to the re-
sources of the English language was
given at Manchester. An inquiry was
being held as to a house reputed to be
used for gambling. 1t was frequented
by poor Jews, and they were stated in
a general way to have spoken their
own Yiddish-eXcept when they wished
to swear. Then they used English.
Our oaths appear to be simpler and
stronger than those of any other ton
que. The SDaniards, though il must
be admitted they are coarser are too
elaborate. The same may be said of
ItaHan eXecrations. French are a fail
ure. They beat us in slang, but in
simple Objurgation they are nowhere.
German imprecatious mean a good
deal, but that is just where they fall.
The essence Of a good, round oath
is mystery. And that is why Ameri-
can swearing, though sonorous, misses
it's mark. There is too much thought
in it.-St. James Gazette.

Here Are Some Figures Showing How

From the Philadelphia Record.
In 1891 the official physician of Yale
university reported that in a class Of
l47 students he had found that i'm four
years the n who did not use tobacco
surpassed the 20 who did use IL to the
extent Of 1O.4 per cent in increase in
weight "a per cent in increase of
height and 267 per cent in increase Of
chest girth. 1t was found that the
abstainers from tobacco gained "a
per cent in weight, 81 per cent in height
and AZ per cent in chest girth.
But the most striking revelation
from the statistics was that respecting
lung capacity, the Amherst abstainers
having gained rs per cent over the to-
bacco users, while at Yale the average
gain was IT'S per cent.

OUR FAVORITE AUTHOR,

Through all these important forma-
tive days of the Republic, Scott was
the favorite author of Americans, and,
while his writings may not be said
to have had any special weight in our
national and political development,
yet their influence was enormous upon
the taste and sentiment of a people
peculiarly sensitive to such influences
from the very circumstances of their
environment. The romances OF courts
and castles were specially appreciated
In the woods and plains of the frontier,
where a pure democracy reigned. The
poems and novels of Scott, saturated
with the glamor of legend and tradf-
tion, were greediy devoured by a
people without perspective, conscious
that they themselves were ancestors

JOHN HAYS
SPEECH ON SCOTT
At the dwelling of the Bust
of Sir Walter in Westminster
Abbey.

Col. John Hay has begun we'll in that
service of public speaking which, since
Mr.. Lowell's time, has become so great
a part of the work of the representa-
tive of the United States at the court
of st. James. His talk on Sir Walter
Scott on the occasion of unveiling a
memorial bust of the Wizard of the
North in Westminster abbey was ex-
cellent and from the full text as given
in the New York Tribune we quote in
part as follows:
In the most significant and interest
ing ceremony / should have no excuse
for appearing except as representing
for the time being a large section of
Walter Scott's immense constituency.
1 doubt If anywhere his writings have
had more loving welcome than in
America. The books a boy reads are
the most ardently admired and the
longest remembered; and Americans
revelled in Scott when the country was
young. 1 have heard from my faith
er, pioneer of Kentucky, that in the
early days of this century men would
saddle their horses and ride from all
the neighboring counties to the prin-
cfpal post-towns of the region when
a new novel by the author of "WaVer-
ley" was expected.
All over our struggling states and
territories-in the East, where a civ
ilization of slender resources but
boundless hopes was building; in the
West, where the stern conflict was GO
ing on of the pioneer subduing the con-
tinent-the books most read We're those
poems of magic and of sentiment,
those tales of bygone chivalry. and ro-
nance, which Walter Scott was pour
ing forth upon the world with a rich
facility, a sort of joyous fecundity like
that of mature in her most genial
moods. He had no clique Of readers,
no Illuminated sect of admirers, to be-
wilder criticism by excess Of its own
subtlety. In a community engaged in
the strenuous struggle for empire,
whose dreams of the past were turned
in the clear, broad light of nations
morning to a future of unlimited
grandeur and power, there was none
too sophisticated to appreciate, none
too lowly to enjoy those marvellous
pictures of times gone forever by,
though the times themselves We're un-
lamented by people and an age whose
faces were set toward a far-distant
future.

IN SILVER'S CAUSE.
Bryan Is Distributing Royalties
from His Book.

LINCOLN, Neb., Meh. 22.-Hon. W.
J. Bryan will give one-half the royal
ties received from the sale of his
book, 'The First Battle" to the
cause of bimetalism, and has ap-
pointed committee whose duty will
be to properly expend the fund
for that purpose. The committee il
composed of Senator James K. Jones
of Arkansas, Senator Henry NJ. Tel.
ler of Colorado, Sentor William V.
Allen of Nebraska, and Hon. A. j.
Warner, president Of the National
Bi-metallic Union.
Mr.. Bryan at once instructed his
publishers to forward out of royalty
due him, $4, 500 to Mr.. Jones, $1,50(
to Mr.. Warner, $500 to Mr. Allen
and $500 to Mr.. Teller, and certified
checks for these amount were sent
o-day.
Mr.. Jones is to spend his portion iI
promoting the cause of bimetallisn
through the Democratic party; Mr.
Warner through channels afforded
by the National Bimetallic Union
Mr.. Teller through the silver Repub
licans, and Mr.. Allen through the
Populist party.

THE friends of silver should keep
up their organization in the interest
OF the cause they adovate. This fall
they will have the opportunity to
send to the United State Senate a
man who will represent them and
their cause if they unite in compact
organization for that purpose. The
result of the local elections this
spring, while they may not directly
enter into that issue, will have an en-
couraging effect on the campaign that
is to follow this fall. For that..reason
all the people who believe that the re-
storation of silver to its old place in
our money system will help to bring
about a better condition in our busi-
ness affairs, should stand together
at the election on the 5th Of April.
