Ian Maclaren. on Scott.

"Scott was all gold, and even the
nuggets are not enough; the gravel
ought to be sifted and the gold dust
gathered in, for Scott had such an affiu.
ence Of knowledge, legend and poetry
that he did not write by measure, but
put his hand into his pocket and threw
out money that any might pick it up.
What one is afraid of is that Scott is
being raised to the elevation of a classic,
and that is the same thing as taking a
man out Of the house of commons, where
he is an active figure, and placing him
in the stately seclusion of the house of
lords. do not know single page of
Scott that is not readable, and do not
know single page that would shake a
mans faith or bring a blush to wom-
ans cheek. Why do not people read
Scott as they ought to? Some say that he
is not interesting, and others object to
his style. Why, Carlyle himself brought
the charge against Scott that he was
amusing. Amusing! One of the grand
est functions of fiction is to be amusing
in the right sense-that of lifting up
the weight and care of daily life from
mems minds by leading them into re-
gions Of sentiment and romance.

Of the owners do not as a rule allow
such trifies as repairs to reduce the

1t does not pay to be always repairing
such broken down property, though of
course repairs are always being asked
for, and some people have decidedly
unpleasant manner Of trying to impress
on me the necessity for such.
"They are continually alluring me
into all sorts of undesirable traps. I
nearly broke my neck once by walking
up a dark staircase in which few
boards were broken and loose, and the
woman who had asked me to walk up

other preparations for bestowing similar

come and look at the awful state of re-
pair of one of her rooms. She took me
to large cupboard and opened it and
the corpse of man tumbled into the
room. 1t was only her poor, dear hus-
band, she said, whom she had slowed
there for convenience till the coffin ar
rived. OF course she had put him there
only to give me a pleasant little sur
prise, and she was so successful that

the same to me if the window was not
soon mended.

A Horses Strategy.

The superiority of mind over matter was
demonstrated by horse In franklin
street yesterday. 1t was noon, and the oats
bag hung from the horses head The rope
OF the bag had not been drawn tightly
enough to bring the oats within reach.
Every little while the horse tossed up its
head in an endeavor to get mouthful of
oats, but the only result was a shower of
oats over the horses neck and back. The
horse then tried to rest the bag on the
ground, but was prevented from reaching
down by the harness. After long pause,
as IL for thought, the horse finally lifted
one of its fore legs and let tho bag rest on
1t. 1t then took a mouthful of oats, put
Its leg down and munched contentedly.
Each time the horse wanted mouthful Of
oats after that 1t lifted its leg and let the
bag rest on it.-New York Sun.

said that the guardians of Miss Ban
croft's poorest pupil pay tuition fee OF
no less than 81, 900 per annum.
Miss Bancroft in the beginning en-
dured almost every encouragement be-
longing to reform-debt, disappoint-
ment, misfortune, lack of sympathy
and cooperation. She found friends,
however. Physicians were interested in
her work, and Mr. George W. Childs
gave prominent space in the Philadel-
phia Ledger to an article treating Of her
methods of teaching. The first year she
had only two pupils. The third year
showed an advance in number. In 1888
the school had grown to such an extent
that Miss Bancroft was advised to find
an assistant. She was then fortunate
enough to secure the services of Miss
Jean w. Cox, lady experienced in
kindergarten work and learned in the
art of ministering to diseased minds and
bodies. And now these two ladies are
earnest and able partners in their kin.

was changed many times to secure
larger and better quarters. In 1892 its
home was entirely destroyed by fire.
The two brave women who had it in
charge were left resourceless as to the
means of procuring another. In 4S
hours, however, their little family was
established at Atlantic City, and Miss
Bancroft was looking about her for other
quarters. Mr.. Charles Lippincott of
Philadelphia, having heard of her work,
offered to buy The Lindens, in Haddon-
field, as home for the school in return
for the life care of his afflicted daughter.
His offer was gladly accepted, and this

the medical officers of the American In
stitution For the Feeble Minded and
sends to them each year paper on her
work. Though her pupils will perhaps
never need calling, having for the
most part rich parents or guardians, yet
they are trained to be self helpful.
Their studies embrace all the ordinary
