DAUDETS CAREER

Ire Provencal origin, his struggle for
ad when boy in the great city Of
Paris, his faithful and patient work and
his final recognition as told in lie Petit
Chose all these things have invested
his life with an uncommon interest
have shown the pathetic, human side of
q great character. The eight MASTER
pieces he has left-to say nothing of
such works as ''Tartarin de Tarascin," >"
and host of others, are as follows, in
the order of publications. "Froment
Jeune ct Risler Aine," GS7D; Jack"

Exil," QS70; "Numan Roumestan," {"
QSSO; "L' L'Evangeliste," QSS3); 'Sapho,"
QSSD; and "L'Immortel," QSSS).
These are all remarkable productions.
and it may be doubted if any one French
novelist has excelled them in numbers
and real excellence
In/an account that Daudet has given

A little book which bore the curious
title of 'Jekl," that appeared year OF
two ago, will be recalled by story readers
because it gave an interesting picture of
life in the Jewish quarter of New York
city. The author, Mr.. Abraham Cahan,
who has so diligently cultivated this
field, and by his picturesque and ac-
curate writing made himself master of
it, contributes to the February number
of the Atlantic Monthly an interesting
story of life in the New York Ghetto.
In this little piece of fiction that whole
strange world moves before the reader,
and makes an impression that will not
soon be forgotten.

A ToPSY-TURVY LAND

The Chinese surname comes first in
stead of last
The Chinese begin dinner with des-
Sert and end with soup and fish.
The Chinese shake their own hands
instead of the hands of those they greet.
The spoken language of China is not
written and the written language Is not
spoken.
The Chinese launch their vessels side
wise and mount their horses from the
off side.
The Chinese do everything backward.
They exactly reverse the usual order of
civilization.
Books are read backward. and what
we call footnotes are inserted at the top
of the page.
The Chinese dress in white at funerals
and in mourning at weddings. while old
women always serve as bridesmaids.
Note, first, that the Chinese compass
points to the south instead of to the
north. The men carry on dressmakine
and the women carry burdens.

A CURIOUS PROPOSITION

The bill before congress to compel the
furnishing of the libraries of the land
with two copies each of every book pub
lished is very remarkable one. Upon
what basis it rests no one has so far been
able to discover. So far as valuable books
are concerned. it is robbery, pure and
simple; and as to the worthless and
licked ones it is worse still, for it is
holly wasteful and mischievous. One

esented in the senate, which is, in

.rA1ru AND SIGHT

FAITH AND SIGHT
Unchanging law binds all,
And Nature all we see.
Thou art a star, far off. too far,
Too far to follow thee!
All, sense-bound heart and blindi
Is naught but what we see?
Can time undo what once was truef
Can we not follow thee?
Is what we trace of law
The whole of Gods decree?
Does our brief span grasp Natures plan,
And bid not follow Thee?
The first poem published by Thomas
Hood appeared in The Dundee Maga-
zine in June, 1915. 1t was called Sabbath
Morning." and is said never to have been
included in any edition of Hoods works
The lines are as follows:
How few of all this hurrying crowd
Who press to reach the house of prayer,
Who seek the temple of their God,
Seek Him whose spirit hovers there!
See yon demure and pious maid,
She surely shows devotion truej
In robes of purity arrayed.
Her bonnet, not her heart, Is newi
To yonder heaving bosom turn,
Which swells with silent rapture high;
With sacred zeal her heart must burnt
Ali trace the coquette's glancing eye!
That grave and stately sage, indeed,
Els thoughts must be on Heav'n intent;
But Heav'n, perhaps, in him may read
A pondering wish for cent per cent.
With nimble steps and eager haste
That pious youth with pleasure view,
Who fears single moments waste
His footsteps yonder fair pursue.
Yet who shall dare presume to raise
A din of censure, better grudgd;
Take, then, the moral of my lays
And judge not that ye be not judgd.
Critics to plays for the same ends resort
That surgeons wait on trials in court:
For innocence condemned they've no re-
spect,
Provided they've q body to dissect.
