Aooinst Cheap Books.

Sir Walter Besant is not fond Of cheap
price books. AS he writes books to sell
he realizes what it means to the pocket
book Says he: "I think that 1t is high
time, in the interest of everybody con-
nected with literature, to protest against
the issue of the sixpenny book. 1t floods
the London bookstall; it covers the coun-
ters: it makes books Of a higher price un-
saIable. No one will think of paying more
than sixpence Q2 cents for book If he
can get a readable one for that sum. 1t
is fast leading people to believe that six
pence is the outside price that ought-to
be paid-unless ii is cents-for book
on any subject. 1 find it stated in one
paper that a new field of readers has been
opened up by the sixpenny book. 1 wish
I could think So
For my own part do not want to see
literature too cheap. l want free libra
ries everywhere, which shall encourage
and enlarge the habit of reading and edu-
cate the people in good taste. A public
library ought never to keep, lend, or buy
rubbish. ] like to think that literature is
loved so much that people, to obtain 1t
and possess it, will consent to some thrift,
some kind of self-sacrifice. We all re-
member the mschievous effect in America
of the pirated cheap literature; how 1t
nearly ruined the literary profession, and
how it destroyed the. peoples respect for
literature by giving them the finest works
of genius in vile paper, vile printing and
vile covers If fine work is to be pro-
duced the artist-whether poet, dramatist
novelist or essayist-must be able to live
by his work; to be able to work all day
long if necessary without having to earn
his livelihood first.
"How can a man-how can bookseller
how can a publisher-live by siXpenny
books? Granted that he may get through
100 900 copies. What does it mean to the
author2 About $3.50 to the good. But
more than half these copies are bought in
stead of higher-priced books. This pro-
portion is only approximate, but it serves
to indicate the broad fact. If my conten-
ton is wrong. if the sixpenny books are
bought in addition to instead of in place
of books OF a higher price, then I with
draw my objection: But this cannot be-
lieve in the face of all that 1 told and
all that l observe. If 1 remember Alright,
this attempt to enlarge the field of read
ers by cheap issues has been made two
or three, times already, and has resulted
over and over again in the discovery that
the field is not enlarged but that those
who buy give sixpence instead of the
former high price. The only way, re-
peat, is to enlarge the field gradually by
means of free libraries and education; TO
make literature accessible to all; and to
trust that the desire TO possess will cause
readers TO save up their money in order
to buy"

he would explain why a certain farmer
lived in a ravine instead of on the hills
of his ancestors, he does SO by saying:
LAS the energy of the race lowered
they had come down the hill" In one
short paragraph he has written the
spiritual biography Of many a human
soul. There is something in mans
heart that makes him, when his own
beloved belief has fallen, feel that all
other beliefs are his. He damns all
dreams in the bitterness of his dis
appointment" He shows in the follow
ing description a keen sense Of the
ridiculous and steady pen for char
acter drawing: He was a tall, slim
fair man, with low forehead, mill
tary carriage, a large mustache and
plastered down yellow hair. He wore
an eyeglass, stuck out his chin, talked
in a bark. and clanked his saber and
stared coldly. He would have chucked
a saint under the chin-if she were
pretty-used his old love letters to light
his pipe with and faced a charging

NEW YORK GONE
TUNNEL MAD.

1F New York City Is not tunnel mad
her citizens have certainly developed
something that is closely allied to a
4 mania for underground transit. Years
ago the first tunnel scheme was pro-
jected-so many years ago that the oldest
inhabitants would have difficulty in re-
membering the date-and since that time
there have been dozens Of such projects
launched upon the financial world. Some
of them have existed only upon paper,
while others have progressed to q most
uninteresting condition of incompletion,
but in each case the interest that has been
aroused in the proposed improvement has
been permitted to languish and die, and for
New York have thought less Of the tunnel
schemes than of the possibility Of some
time being able to reach Europe by means
OF aerial navigation.
Suddenly, however, there has come
change In the public pulse. and now moth
ing but tunnels and underground transit
Is being talked Of
During the few weeks that have elapsed
since the revival Of these long buried
projects nearly a score of plans have been
drawn, and all have tended to the same
end. If these are all carried out, the citi-
zen of New York who rides above ground
will be regarded somewhat in the light
Of a relic of old conditions who Is too slow
to keep UP with the times.
Up to the present time the tunnel
schemes Of New York have been chiefly
conspicuous for the ease with. which they
have consumed the capital OF those who
have interested themselves in them. The
old Hudson River tunnel is without
doubt the costliest hole in the ground

the top with water To the eye Of the
casual observer who was not up in tun-
