We are told that second edition OF David Ha-
rum has been called for in London and that the Brit
ish public after couple Of months Of supreme ndlf-
ference has length awakened TO an appreciation OF
the book The evolution Of this appreciation has been
a very curious study. The early reviews dismissed
the novel with few words which tended toward dis
passionate depreciation by announcing that the novel
was having large sale in America where it was con-
sidered truthful portrayal of a certain type. Now
quite serious consideration is being given the book by
the London reviewers, and to make up for what they
evidently deem their former oversight they dip into
dgnifed congratulations that nothing If not drol
The most curious eXpOsitOns however those that
attempt to account for the lack Of popularity OF the
book in Englandit is not always admitted that pop
ularity is being Says The Academy at the close
of painfully serious review that extends nearly
through three columns: " Had Moves Westcott been
fortunately discovered in the right quarters had his
book been nicely heralded had it been backed by
sufficient moral force had fifty little things happened
then the fame of David Harum might have filled
the country" Just now Londoners are seriously dis
clssing the question whether the book owes its
popularity to its norsetrade stories or TO Its religious
import" Mr. w p. James i'm crticisng the work in
an article in the St James, Gazette says that the novel
is being read because of its religious interest while
The Academy reterates its former dictum that the
books fascination lay largely in its pictures of horse
dealing and faceously adds that the report comes
from a large circulating library that more than one
request has been made in the past few days for Davd
Harem"

MICRoBE OF RUM.
Only BactIli That Can Live in Nine
ty Proof OF Alcohol.

Only BactIli That Can Live In Nine
ty Proof of Alcohol
Cincinnati Enquirer.
A new bacillus has just been discovered
by a noted German scientist and his wife.
1t Is called eoleothrfx methystes. and was
found by Prof. and Mrs. Veley in rum ex-
ported from British Guiana. 1t ruined the
rum, and the most interesting feature of
the discovery is that this is the first bacil-
lus found that can live in a fluid of 70
per cent alcohol. 1t is also peculiar in
fiourishing best in the sunshine, which Is
death to most bacteria.
Darkness stops the growth of this spe-
cies, and 80 per cent of alcohol Is needed
to kill 1t. Even drying does not kill it, so
this Is one of the most dangerous of the
bacilli
1t is supposed that it was due either to
the uncleanliness of the bottles into which
the rum was put or to the caramel sugar
used in coloring the rum. The spelling of
the rum is only one of the effects of this
little creature, for 1t causes severe intes-
final troubles in those who happen to par
take of the liquor in which 1t has found 4
home. The antI-toXin for the coleothrix
methystes is yet to be discovered, but the
finding Of the bacillus is the first step to-
ward overcoming it.

THE SCHOOL QUESTION.

Citizens. the great school question
Brings to me but one suggestion.
Our SANITY" city has prominence won
BY the doleful way its schools are run
Someone's doing business in a way that Is
funny
Ct mean the man that holds the money!.
He thinks upon a different plan
Than does the average working man.
Our instructors hear daily only this song
(Which. indeed, Is very wrong):
IF forty you get, why twenty will do,
IF eighty you get, just split 1t In two"
Education Is surely very fine thing,
But teachers can't live on that till spring
Do you think our teachers are willing to
stay
And work ten, months for eight months
pay.
No. 1t would be a disgrace to st. Paul,
Which now is the laughingstoc of all.
Well. what then are you going to do?
(Citizens this alludes to you.)
Are you going to stand with eyes closed
up.
And see your public schools shut up.
No. Just vote at the next election
For a charter to settle this thing to per-
lection.

The Octopus as Food.

The octopus now finds a place on the
fish stalls in Jersey, where it is eaten
either dried or fresh. The local estimate
of it is that 1t makes very good eating,
but the local taste also tnclines to other
things which do not find favor with alien
palates. Octopus fishing parties have
been very popular in the Channel islands
of late, not. however because the I'M
couth creature Is desired for food. but on
account of the destruction it works
among the Holsters.

LIferarY Notes.

Unusual interest attaches to the
Thanksgiving (Novem ber) number of
the Pail Mall Magazine for its large
and increasing circle of American
readers. One of the contributors,
William Archer. who has shown deep
interest in American subjects, nice
appreciation of American character
and peculiarities, amiable criticism of
our foibles and a grasp of his subject
at once pleasing and convincing, in
Novem Der begins a series of articles
which will be read with deep interest,
for, under the title of The Amer
lean Stage, he writes pleasingly
of US. The publishers are
preparing to meet large demand for
the mum bers containing his forthcom-
ing articles. The frontispiece of the
November number will be The Holy
Family, after picture by Botticelli, in
the Louvre. ami will be more than
ever desira BILE for preservation. Mr.
Parker writes entertainiDgly of The
Eve OF the Needle, and Mrs. Steel's
charming Indian story. The Hosts of
the Lord, will be continued. Other
contributions are equally attractive,
and the illustrations and mechanical
execution more than ever Justify the
name so appropriately given to the
Pail Mall by it's readers-The Maya
zine de Luxe.

COMPELLED by the force of public
opinion to yield to the patriotic i'm
pulse of duty. Gov. Leslie NJ. Shaw,
of Iowa, has reluctantly given up his
campaign long enough to 90 to San
Francisco to receive the returning
Iowa soldiers from the Philippines.
The Iowa executive had fully deter
mined not to make the sacrifice of
leaving the stump in his canvass for
reelection for such purpose and had
sent others of the state officers TO San
Francisco 10 represent him, but the
feeling of Indignation that swept over
the state was too strong 10 be ignored.
But the development that finally moved
the governor was that the returning
soldiers would probably be mustered
out of the service of the government
in time To vote this fail.
