Mime. Bernhardt, the French actress,
continues TO ride on a mans wheel in
England. In other words, she plays
Hamlet TO the great delight of the peo-
pie who never knew of what sex Ham
let was. The corporations of the pro-
vincial towns meet her and escort her
into the city with horns. The mayor
makes a speech and everybody feels
that Shakespeare has come to his own.
But the critics continue to wonder how
Shakespeare got along at all with the
drama when there were no women in
the company to interpret the mems
roles

AN EVEN EXCHANGE.
A Case Where One Retort Was As
Good As the Other.

A good Irish story will bear con-
siderable retelling. Such, evidently, is
the view of "Cornhill Magazine" from
which the following example is taken:
Chief Baron O'Grady was once try
ing "a case in an assize town where
the courthouse abutted on the green.
A fair was in progress. and just out
side the court a number of asses were
tethered. AS the counsel was address
ing the court one of these began to
bray.
Instantly the chief baron stopped the
speaker. wait a moment, Mr.. Bushe,"
he said, 81 can't hear two at once"
The court ruared, and the advocate
grew red. But presently, when it
came to summing up, the judge was in
full swing when another ass struck In,
whether by the counseps contrivance
or not, who shall say? Anyhow, up
jumped Mr.. Bushe, with his hand to
his ear, and said:
Would your lordship speak a little
louder? There is such an echo In the
court"

II IL only the same old story,
This life. so the cynics declare:
With Its tales OF adventure and glory
And It's chapters of hoping and care.
But story depends on the telling.
And each must strive on as he may
With his narrative, carefully dwelling
On Its Incidents day after day.
Some toll with an epic completeness;
Some are tragic and stately and slow
And some give a lyrical sweetness
To the hours as they greet us and go.
And the world coldly pauscs TO edit
The efforts brought forth from the
ranks;
And some achieve lucre and credit
And the rest are declined without
thanks.

TRAVELLING LIBRARIES.

1t is not an adverse criticism upon the
effort to establish a travelling library sys-
tenn at public expense to say that it is not
done in response to a popular demand for
reading matter. The proof of this is evil
dent. While there are doubtless a few peo-
pie in every neighborhood who possess
hunger for books which insists upon being
gratified, it is only the few else the want
would have been recognized and supplied
by private enterprise just as any other COM
mercial opportunities are met. In England
there are in operation two vast book-lend-
ing systems conducted by private firms,
subject showing such a widespread desire
for books that the undertaking seemed like
Iy to be profitable. That it has been profit
able is indicated by the extent to which the
business has grown. Doubtless the supply
has had it's part in increasing a demand.
and the opportunity to secure books in this
way has made them a necessity in house
holds which were once content without
them, but the demand must have been suff1-
GENTLY great at the beginning to have made
the investment worth while. The number Of
voIunes in constant circulation by Nudes
agencies is said to be 3.500.O00 over 10000
being distributed throughout the United
Kingdom each week. Smiths agency is
supposed to do an equally extensive bust
ness. and the profits in these days must be
very large. for it is stated the subscription
rates have not been reduced since they were
fixed many years ago. though the cost Of
books has greatly decreased within that
time The annual subscription rate ranges
from one guinea (about five dollars) for one
book to six guineas for dozen books. A
resident of a secluded and distant village
can. by paying one guinea year, have one
book at time and repeat the order as often
as he likes For two guineas he can have

1t is said that Dinah Iulock Craik, the
author of "John Halifax Gentleman" made
habit of leaving at her bank the manu-
script Of each of her stories as soon as it
was completed. 1t would remain there per-
haps six months, and then she would call
for it and see how the story affected her
after that lapse of time. If 1t pleased her
the manuscript was sent to the publisher;
otherwise it was rewritten or thrown away.
John Ruskin's eightieth birthday was OBJ
served very quietly in his home at Brant-

short and poured out a flow of eloquent
speech, as vigorous and beautiful as in his
best days. But the subject passed and
then he fell back into silence. Another
visitor tells how Ruskin would sit for hours

THE INFLUENCE OF RACE.

The enthusiastic ovation which was given
Mr.. Maurice Thompson last Tuesday even
ing by the Loyal Legion and its guests
proves, if proof were required, that on the
part of the Union veterans of Indiana and
their sons there is no longer a trace of
bitterness in the memory of the war for the
Union. Mr. Thompson made no apology for
having been a Confederate soldier, and none
of his audience desired it. There was no
protest because he claimed for the Con-
federates who fell at Gettysburg that
Abraham Lincoln had them in mind, as we'll
as those who fought for the Union, when
in his oration he spoke Of the brave men
whose struggle consecrated that bloody
field. 1t would have been otherwise ten
years ago. but as the years increase since
the war period thoughtful men review
the war, its causes and it's results with
clearer vision and calmer judgment. The
few in the North who will not forgive,
if they had been in the South during the
war would be those who now rail at the
North The mass of the people on both
sides believed that they were right. It was
1.-The amazing sincerity of the race of
which Mr.. Thompson speaks, and its tenac-
ity of opinion, which made the struggle so
terrible and so protracted. Each side felt
that its case, so to speak, had been appealed
to the court of last resort, the battlefield,
and that the decision would be irrevocable
With other peoples than Anglo-Americans
it would have been different because their
protest is revolution and insurrection, which
settle nothing. When the war ended every
Confederate knew that his cause was lost
and lost forever, because he was of a race
which settles great issues once for all.
Even if in the first months and years of
the bitterness of defeat he refused to take
up the duties of citizenship, he recognized
that the Union had been restored once for
all and that the government at Washing
ton was the only one that could exist in
the country in which he lived. 1t was pre-
dicted that large standing army would
be required to keep the vanquished South
in subjection, but those who made it had in
mind the history of other races than that
which is the controlling element in this
country. The surrenders during April, 1866,
were a part of Mr.. Thompson's amazing
sincerity" The defeated might hold aloof,
but they would never protest against the
supremacy of the government at Washing
ton with arms. They might resist policies
and measures, but the integrity and sturdi-
ness of the race kept the people of the
South from armed insurrection or guerrilla
warfare. We might not have recognized the
fact at that time, but now, in the light
OF history. the American people North and
South are a mingling of the races which
possess the qualities essential to power and
permanence.
Those who are fearful that the American
Nation viii 6eteriorate and lose power at
home by participation in Worldwide affairs
and hold up to us the decline and fall of
the Roman empire as a warning should find
consolation in the fact that the civilization
which fell with Rome was barbarism COM
pared with the civilization which has been
developed and extended by the AngIo-saxon

three books at time. He pays the cost of
transportation in addition, but England has
avery low rate of book postage. There are
many local libraries in England. Of course,
especially IN the larger towns: but this
lending system. perhaps because novels and
other light literature are most easily OBJ
tanned through it, seems to meet the popu-
lar taste.
The formation of public libraries in towns
of any size and the low price of paper-cov-
cred novels which may be found in the stock
of every crossroads general store''-the
original department store-together with
high express and postage rates, have prob
ably prevented any attempt to initiate the
Nude system in this country, but when
the residents of villages and country dis
tricts want access to the best and the new
est books, and realize what it is that stands
in the way of their having them they will
make their wants known. Subscription book
agencies will then be established and post
age rates reduced

When, seeking for the vagrant of his flock
That from the known familiar plain haG
strayed,
The earliest shepherd, from a towering rock,
The fallow world surveyed,
He saw land no eye had seen before,
Beheld fair meadows threaded by bright
streams,
Then never again beside his rude tent-door
He dreamed his simple dreams.
For in his eyes the light of conquest shone,
The thought of empire flashed across his brain
He saw his tribe nation, he alone
Ruler of all the plain.
And since he gazed there tireless man has drawr
tightening line along the globes broad girth
Mastered and peoped it, until the dawn
Circles a conquered earth.
Fearless adventurers' eyes with strangest goals
Fer all is won, save where the curious beat
The ice-gates of the Poles.
But steadily partitioning the world.
Nations have set their chosen plots apart,
Marking, where e'er their banners have unfurled
New lines upon the chart.
And whether along some Asian ridge remote
Or with the Danubes a boundary runs,
On either side the warning colors float
Above expectant guns.
The bugle, that across our continent
Led the strong, dauntless builders of the West
Sounds blithe note Of new and broad intent,
To the wide world addressed.
And we who held in check the eagles fight
For long, within coasts OF mighty seas,
Behold in far-strewn isles the wings of light
Bearing destinies
That change vexed Europe's latest reckonings,
And stir with anxious fear her kings and czars,
While restless Progress unto strange airs filings
The fair flag of the stars.
