LITERARY NOTES.
IN rHr WORLD OF ART AND LETTERS.


IN THE WORLD OF ART AND LETTERS.
AS the result Of the development of our
public school system and the cheapening
Of books, there has grown up large class
Of men and women who seek broader edu-
cation, or desire to extend their knowledge
along special lines. Their duties in life, or
lack of means, exclude them from the uni
versities. The Cosmopolitan Magazine
has undertaken the task of bringing liberal
education, in its broadest sense, within the
reach of those who have the aspiration, but
are deprived of the opportunity. Doctor
Andrews, late of Brown University, has
undertaken the Presidency of The CoSmo-
politGn's educational movement. The
work, thus begun, is not intended to take
the place of regular university work, but
to supply gap in existing educational
facilities. Those who are really in search
of knowledge will find direction and aid.
It can do nothing for those who have not
the desire to study. An intending student
sends to The Cosmopolitan, New York, his
name, occupation, previous courses of
study, studies desired to be pursued, objects
and purpose for which course is designed,
and the number of hours. daily or weekly,
study which can be given. No charges Of
any kind will be made to students.

this day. lie is being faced by a
man who has never failed. The
crowd arises TO see il well done, but
they are disappointed, for the horn
of the bull has caught his Bolero
jacket and with n maddened toss,
the man is held high alofti Then
there is excitement. The governor
who has lost none Of his suavity
until now, yells excitedly TO the at
tendants, TO release the man ut peril
Of their own lives. All these seconds
which appear TO be hours to the bull
fighter, the bull is trying to gore the
Espada. The blood flows freely from
the llacerated side OF the man, and
his white shirt is Redeemed with his
own blood. We Americans arc
inwardly happy at the situation, but
think il the better part OF valor to
keep IL to ourselves.
Finally the man is released, and he
hurries behind the barricades while
into the ring comes another Espada.
His face is set and resolved. II is
white and CHASTITY. With sword held
aloft, be walks toward the new stub
born animal, and once more the bat
tie is commenced. The same brave
rush again, with a different ending
this time, for as the bull comes for
ward, the man springs clear over
him, and plunges the sword into the
shoulder blade, which is instant
death in most cases. With n below
OF pain the animal sinks on his
knees, and with the most appealing
look that it was ever our misfortune
to sec, glances around into the faces
OF the spectators, as IL asking:
"Have / not one friend in all this
concourse?" Twas well his was an

royal friends of his there, had he
