Errors In Illustrations.

There sometimes seems reason for q
FOmpiai1t common among authors that
artists Go not read the text they are to
illustrate In one of the leading maya
zines recently the writer mentioned the
fact that her heroine was entirely bald
"a circumstance, indeed, that might
have been deduced from the fact that
she was nearly 100 years old.
Picture tho authors disgust when the
old woman was represented with q head
OF hair that might have served for the
advertisement of some wonderful 're-
storatiye."
Even worse seems the fate of an IN
happy writer who wrote a story about
boy named Patsy. The artist meta
mCrphosed hn into girl.
The readers of recent novel were
puzzled by statement which it seemed
impossible to reconcile with facts. The
text represented u devoted band Of sol
diers scaling well nigh perpendicular
cliffs, urging their jaded horses for
ward. The explanation was that the
artist had represented the gallant band
as mounted. The author had depicted
them ON foot. When attention was
called to this discrepancy, the easiest
way out of the difficulty appeared to be
TO insert the few words as above, which
was accordingly done without heed to
the context.
Mr.. James Payn relates a similar
story of his tale, "A Perfect Treasure.
The plot was taken from the story of
the Nancy diamond. The jewel was in
trusted after the battle to faithful
servant, who fell among thieves and to
secure its safety swallowed it. 1t is
probable that no family retainer has
ever been regarded with such solicitude
for the quarter Of century as he was.
The work was brought out with
picture by Sir John Millais, the wood
cut Of which happened to be in the pub
lisher's possession and which seemed TO
him to illustrate the subject, "A Per-

is THE DEVIL DEAD?

In very serious vein, though
with commendable desire for futh-
er knowledge, an exchange asks the
world at at large if the Devil is
dead? Regardless ofthe teachings
of advanced (?) theology, a brother
editor without hesitation commits
himself upon the question as fol
lows: "The Devil is not dead. If
indications count for anything, he
is more active and energetic today
than any time in the course of two
centuries. He seems to be stand
ing astride the country, a very
colossus Of evil. In fact, he is in
evidence everywhere and at all
times. Liars abound, greed is up.
permost, and lechery is defended in
the mouth of respectable people.
Corruption and bribery in official
places is the rule; demagogues are
exalted by the people, aud the
greatest of sins are tolerated on
the extremely broad, liberal and
advanced ground we have occupied.
Viciousness is in our books, filth in
our play houses, scandle and rotten
ness in our newspapers, To the OBJ
servant man, the stage of pubic
morality in this country seems new
er to have been so low. In the best
theatre in st. Louis only recently
the house was packed to the roof
to witness a play whose only dttrac-
ton was its filth, men, women and
children deserting elevating and re-
fined productions to see a nasty
French farce, in which a woman
disrobed aud went to bed in plain
view Of the audience. Newspdpelsare
supposed to be, in measure, regu-
ators Of public morals but in this
instance the greatest newspaper in
st. Louis went no further in con
demnation than a little facetious
comment, The same play ran 200
nights in New York. These are
dangerous symptoms indeed, 1t is
degeneracy or the turning loose Of
all restraint in the name of iudIvd-
ual liberty. Better few of the
very bluest of the blue laws than a
license, immortality may not be
eradicated but can be restrained
Looking the whole field over, we
are constrained to remark thai the
Devil is not dead, Mark of the
cloven hoof confronts us wherever
we may turn He must indeed be

destruction, and every man Of us
