THE DRAMA AND LITERATURE.
Difference Between Spoken and
Written Literature.


The painters have long protested
against any judgment Of their work in
accordance with the principles of an
other art, and at last they have succeed
ed in convincing the more open-minded
If us that what is of prime Importance
in picture is the way in which il is
painted, and that its merely literary
merit is quite secondary. They are not
unreasonable when they insist that the
chief duty of picture is to represent a
visible world, and not to point moral
or adorn a tale, and that In the appre-
citation of picture we must first weigh
all Of its pictorial beauty. Nor are the
sculptors asking TOO much when in a
statue they want us to consider chiefly
its plastic beauty.
Now, the orator and the dramatist
ask for themselves what has been grant
ed the painter and the sculptor-they
request that an Grafton or drama
shall be judged not as literature only,
but in accordance with the principles
of its own art. And here the literary
critic is even less willing 10 yield. He
may acknowledge his own ignorance
of perspective and of pigments, of com
position and of modelling; he may con-
TESS that here the painter and the
sculptor have him at disadvantag
but he is not ready to admit that he
is not to apply his own standards to the
works of the orator and of the dra-
matist. On the contrary, he maintains
that the speech and the play, if they be-
long to literature at all, are by that very
fact, absolutely within the province Of
the literary critic. He cannot see why
that which the orator and dramatist
may write is not to be read and criti-
cised exactly as that which is written
by the novelist and the essayist and the
poet. Indeed, it is almost a misrepre-
sentation Of the literary critics atti-
tudc to- suggest, that he has need to
maintain this position, for it is rarely
even limited to him that he is not fully
justified in employing the same tests in
every department of literature.
Yet nothing ought to be clearer than
the distinction between the written
word and the spoken between the
literature which is addressed to the
eye alone and that which is intended
primarily for the ear, and only second
arily for the eye. 1t is the difference
between words written once for all and
words first spoken and then written
or at least written so that they may be
spoken. When this distinction is seized
it follows that oral discourse is not
necessarily to be measured on the same
scale as written discourse. 1t follows
also that the speech and the play may
be very good, indeed, each in its kind,
although they may fail TO attain the
standard Of strictly literary merit
which we should demand in an essay,
story or a poem.-Prof. Brander Mat
thews, in Forum.

Three hundred bales Of horses names

from horses used by the Cossacks after
the animals have outlived their useful.

after having seen better days their
names and tails are the only things left
Of commercial value. Very often these
hirsute appendages are taken from
sound animals and the beasts left ia
their fate. Here the upholsterers use
the hair for stufIing chair backs and
other articles OF furniture. and the ma
terial from Russia brings the best price

He moved to another town and on his first

spoke as soothingly as possible, but her
words produced no effect. :.

his next visit to his native town the old
Quakeress was again favored with call:
