Some Heroes of Peace.

1t is with making hero as it is with
making a cup OF tea: the water has
first got TO come to boil. The job can
not be done with cold materials. be
they ever so proper. At almost every
hero-making some one gets hurt. Often
1t is the hero himself: and If the hurt
is severe enough the job is spoiled, eN-
cept for literary and moral purposes.
But very often the hero gets of all
right. and the other fellows get hurt.
Sometimes-yes. often-the hero shows
his quality in saving life. That happens
constantly at fires, so that &c is a very
common thing TO read in the newspa-
pers about the heroism of firemen. and
especially about small. muscular fire
men, who fetch exceedingly heavy
women out OF burning buildings and
carry them down long ladders. No
fireman minds being a hero. Tor he has
plenty of company. and is not bothered
by overmuch admiration Indeed. in ev-
cry calling where the supply OF danger
is adequate heroes seem TO abound The
New York Fire Department is full OF
heroes, tried and accredited. and IL Is
so with the fire departments of other
large cities. Policemen OF high courage
turn up whenever an occasion offers,
and occasions are not infrequent Loco
motive engineers are brave men, as n
rule. very apt to turn out heroes at
pinch. and to be buried two or three
days later. Ship-masters usually meet
expectations i'm crisis, so that IL is
considered very scandalous when they
DO not. We are used to herolsm in all
the ordinary callings that. although
we admire IL when it turns up, we are
not unduly agitated by IL. Herosm i'm
war stirs our enthusiasm more thor
oughly because we arc less used TO II.
and we are less used TO Il because wars
are comparatively scarce. and the op-
portunities for American fghting-nen
10 make manifest their dispositions are
rare.-Harper's Bazaar.

Hamlet. the character ana the trag-
edy. have always been theme for
acute discussion but We believe that the
discussion has never before developed
the very serious stage which induced
two French gentlemen Of opposing
opinions to fight a duel 1t appears that
a Partisan poet and a critic got TO ar
guing over Hamlet between the acts Of
Sarah Bernhardts production. The
point at issue was as TO whether Ham
let should be most properly presented
as fat or lean. The poet was wounded
and that settled the duel. The issue as
to Hamlet's physical presence is as
wide open as ever.
