perfectly happy man. The court and

such man could be found. At last a

happy, but, alas! the remedy was as

He Was Examined,

Francois Arago, the great French scien-
tist, was precocious youth. He was pre-.
pared for the rigid examinations of the
Ecole Polytechnique before he was II years
old NJ De MiTeoourt tells a Gharacters-
tic anecdote concerning Arago's examina-
ton.
The examiner was almost brutal in his
manner toward the young candidates. A
favorite companion of Arago was badly
frightened at his severe questions and fail
ed to pass the examination. At length
.Arago's turn came.
"YOung man, said the examiner stern
ly, you are probably as ignorant as your
companion. / advise you to go and COM
plete your studies before you risk this ex-
animation"
Monsieur" replied the boy, "timidity
was all that prevented my companion
from passing. He knew much more than
he seemed to know.
"Timidityv" exclaimed the examiner.
"The excuse of foolsl Perhaps you are
timid Also"
Far from it, returned Arago shortly.
Take care. 1t would be wise to spare
yourself the disgrace of being rejectedr'
1.-The disgrace for me would lie in not
being examined said the young candi-
date proudly.
Arago's solution Of the problems set be-
| fore him was so accurate and so brilliant
that ut last his examiner sprang from his
chair and, throwing his arms about the
boy S neck in delight, exclaimed:
"Bravol If you are not received into
the Ecole Polyteohnique, no one will be
admitted. -
And hethen began career which added
greatly to the stock of human knowledge.

Address to the Society by Miss Heloise
Hersey.

There was large and interested audi
ence yesterday afternoon assembled in
Pine street church to listen to lecture
on "The Modern Woman in relation to
the Modern Novel; by Miss Heloise Her
sey of Boston, given under the auspices
of the Woman's Literary Union.
Miss Hersey's reputation as teacher is
enviable indeed, but she has the added
ability of being charming, easy speaker,
and thoroughly delighted her hearers
with both the manner and matter of her
address.
Miss Hersey prefaoed fher lecture in re-
Spouse to Mrs. Clarke's cordial introduce
ton, by saying that she owed debt Of
gratitude to the city Of Portland, which
she felt it would be almost impossible for
her to pay back, for the many happy
hours she had spent here in Twombly's
piano rooms, where she learned to reverence
and love the old masters under Mr. Kotz
SEMINARS teaching. "But, we will turn, ~
said the speaker, sfrom one artistic sub
iect to another and consider the modern
novel the novel since the day OF George
Eliot, with the exception of two different
now little streams, those Of the Scotch
school and the Romantic
Miss Hersey said that the novel paid
very important part in our life these days
far more so than that in the days Of our
mothers, and she even said that she felt
the young woman Of today averaged at
least, giving An hour day to this much
talked of novel. From this she explained
that the function of the novelist and the
dramatist was to hold the mirror up to
nature and therefore they put in their
work what they got from society. The
school novel ought to express profound
Lifs Truths, Pure Emotions, and Noble
Intentions, which unfortunately it does
not always do. Some of the superficial
characteristics of these novels serve to en-
phasize character rather than plot, to
carry the form to the last degree of per-
fiction, as exemplitied by the several
stories carried along in the different
magazines, which always leave each sec
tion at a place, where we wonder whether
we can live till the next month; the ever
present social problem and another
characteristic, the most pernioious, that
Miss Hersey called 'subtile emotion
alism.
1t is this over balance of emotionalism,
without the guiding power of will, which
SO depresses us, and on account of this
vitiating tendency SO apparent in much
of our fiction, the reading public was all
ready to appreciate the books OF Nc
Laren, Crockett and Barrie, for their very
Righteousness, and for the same quality
in the romantic stories of Canon Doyle,
and Anthony Hope, were their books well
com ed.
The speaker in closing very happily
made her little bit of sermon, the con-
nection of the modern woman with the
modern novel, to realize her opportunity
to make over society by being true to her
idea, SO that the standard would be ever
higher and higher, and the mirror held
up would not show these disagreeable re-
Elections. At the close the lecture many
of the ladies came forward to meet Miss
Hersey and thank her for the pleasure she
had given them.
