The Vague Laureate.

Itwould be pleasant to think of Spen- ser as poet laureate to Queen Elizabeth, and there are those who do so, but strict criticism cannot allow the claim. It is true that Spenser became courier and f1attered the queen in the extraordinari ly exaggerated style of the time, and that when he dedicated the first three books of the "Faerie Queene" to Eliza beth she gave him pension of $50 year. It is true also that Spenser speaks of himself as the wearer of the laurel leaf. In one of the sonnets to the lady who was to become his wife he says:
 The laurel leaf which you this day do wear,
 Gives me great hope of your relenting mind, For, since it is the badge which do bear,
 You, bearing it, do seem to me inclin'd.
 But this is nothing more than the usual formal reference to the laurel as the poets special tree. No such office as that of poet laureate, as it is now under stood, existed in Elizabeth s time, and few poets who have flattered sovereign have had such bitter experience of the ickleness and cruelty of a court as Spenser. Like some of his more formal ly appointed successors, he was indeed buried ill Westminster abbey. Yes, but he had died of starvation. Temple Bar

Losing Sense of Color.

The human eye, though trained to distinguish colors, may by want of use forget how to distinguish them. The unique experience of Dr. R. Harley, F. R. S., related in the London Spectator, establishes the fact that color can be forgotten, as we'll as learned, by human sight.
 Dr. Harley, in order to save the sight of one eye-or perhaps of both-when one was injured, voluntarily immured himself in a room made totally dark for nine months.
 The fortitude which enabled him to adopt this course and the ingenuity by which he preserved his health and fac ulties in this the most mentally and physically depressing of all forms of imprisonment are sufficiently remarks ble, but Dr. Harley also kept an accu- rate record of his impressions when he at last looked again upon the light, after the supreme moment at which he satis- fled himself that he was not blind, but could see.
 He found that in the nine months darkness his eyes had lost all sense of color. The world was black, white and gray. They had also lost the sense of distance. His brain interpreted the pie ture wrongly. His hand did not touch the object meant to be grasped. Prac- tice soon remedied the last induced de- feet of sight. Experiment with skeins of various colored wool, in the presence of one who had normal color vision, re- stored the first

Mary A. Livermore.

Mrs. Mary A. Livermore celebrated her seventy fifth birthday very quietly at Melrose on Dec. 19. She had bad cold and was confined to her room most of the day. She received many congratu- lations by letter and telegraph and many presents. In the evening she made an address in the First Universalist church at Lynn, "A Dream of Tomor- row." At the close of the lecture she held brief reception and received the congratulations of many friends. A formal celebration took place at Salem on Dec. 23, when Mrs. Livermore was the guest at the Thought and Work club. Mrs. Livermore at 70 is fuller of power than any young woman in Massachu- setts. May she see many happy returns of the day l-Boston Woman s Journal.

a lransrormation.

The effect of European clothing upon Japanese women is quite remarkable, for whenever it is adopted modern man. ners and customs usually go with it. The educated Japanese say that when a native woman adopts modern dress she insists upon the same treatment and courtesies that her sisters in Europe re- ceive. It is a curious fact that when a woman is dressed in the Japanese cos tune her husband always precedes her when entering room or in walking the streets and treats her as Japanese hus- bands generally treat their wives-that IS, like servants. But when the same woman puts on modern dress the condi- tions are reversed. Her husband pays her the same deference that European and American husbands show their wives and recognizes her as an equal Therefore dress reform has had a power ful influence in the advancement of Japanese women, and those who have embraced Christianity and are laboring for the emancipation of their sex are all working quietly, zealously and effective ly to promote the reform that is going on in the home and the wardrobe. cagO Record.

Enrene Field.

One of the many stories which are told about the late Eugene Field is of a little joke he had at his wife's expense. They had entered street car, to find all the seats taken, save one at each end of the car, and they seated themselves ac- cordingly. When the conductor collected the fares, MT. Field announced in audi ble tones, as he gave him dime, at the same time pointing to the far end of the car, ''This is to pay the fare of the lady over ttlere-the one wearing the new, beautiful brown silk dress. All eyes were turned to her, and her pretty face took a most becoming rose color, but back of the reproving glance she threw at him was one of mingled indulgence, and mirth at the unexpect- ed and apparently truthful announce ment

Interpreting the Koran.

The Koran is at the same time reli- gious and political code. All Mussul- mans admit it to be so, and it cannot be expected therefore that, since their reli- zion is connected with their national policy, they will not make use of the former to carry out the latter. Their policy may be briefly defned-namely, the maintenance of their faith in its purity by exclusiveness and isolation, the emancipation of the countries which have fallen under Christian rule, the extermination of the infidel nations and races who by refusing to pay tribute for the redemption of their blood are pro- nouced by the prophet to be in a state of open rebellion against the law and consequently deserving of death. En- frightened and tolerant Mohammedans will endeavor to palliate these precepts by quotations from the Koran and Hadis (traditjons), but they are not the less cherished creed, the conscientious belief of upward of 900, 900, 900 Mohamme- dans.

Views of America.

Sir Walter Besant, in commenting on MT. Hall Caine's views of America and published in The Daily Chronicle, says: "We don't know the American people in this country, and we ought to know them; they come over here by the thou sand, by the hundred thousand, and we do nothing to entertain them or to make their acquaintance, or to show them that we should like to know them. Are we ashamed of ourselves-of our homes of our women, especially-that we do not want to show ourselves to them? We have no reason to be ashamed.
 "The English woman is not so intel lectually cultivated as the American. but she need not fear comparison. As for the people generally, am right glad to see Hall Caine proclaiming the truth about them-that is, that they are al most childlike in their singleness of heart, easily moved by simple things, the youngest minded and the youngest hearted people in the world.
 "As I did not say this myself, I copy it, I steal it, and I adopt it. The ma terial greatness of America takes away ones breath; the kindness of the Amer jeans takes away ones power of criti- cism. One does not go away from de- lightful evening and begin at once to carp and sheer and insinuate suggestions Only, if by any machinery we could do something to make the American visitor feel at home with us, we should be do- ing great thing for ourselves. l don't want him to be introduced to belted earls, but want American men and women of culture to be able easily to meet English men and women of cul-

"Dreamsl Dreams!"

Som after Disrael had quilted the active arena of the house of commons for the "gilded mausoleum of the house of lords he was visited at his house by his fri 3nd, Lord Cover The two men sat by the fire in the grate, and the ex-premier talked of his own polit- ical career. At last he ceased talking, and gazing abstractedly into the burn ing coals muttered, Dreams Dreams l'
 The mournful, half audible exclama- tion is suggestive. Apparently it indi- tated that he who had for long, labori- Ous years devoted himself to his country found in that fact no solid satisfaction. Is that the usual fate of retired states men?
 The incident is quoted by Mir. Tucker man as a thought provoking addition to his account of an interview with Will liam H. Seward, published in Person al Recollections of Notable People. '"
 While Mir. Seward, in 1872, was sui fering from paralysis at his home in Au- burn, N. Y., MT. Tuckerman went out of his way to pay his respects to the vet eran statesman. He found him unable to use his arms and legs, but with his mental faculties unimpaired For the two days the guest enjoyed the states mans hospitality he was entertained with "reminiscences and anecdotes.
 When he was departing, Mr. Seward took him aside and said: ''Now tell me what can do for you. If possess any influence with the present administra- tion. 1 am at your service. |"
 Mir. Tuckerman replied that the only service he could do for him was to get better health at his earliest convenience, and to let the world hear from him oc- casionally.
 Do you mean to say," asked Mir. Seward, "that you came out of your way to visit broken down old man like me without single interested motive beyond that of seeing me:"
 He noticed that his guest was annoyed by the implication, and added, with emotion, "I do not have many such vis- itors nowadays. Youth s Companion.

Athletics at Brvn MaWr.

Bryn Mawr is keeping up with the other women's colleges as far as ath- letics are concerned. The Philadelphia Ledger says that Frederick Law Olm- sted is now at work upon plans for the grounds. These provide for a circular bi- cycle track with four laps to the mile, and within this is large space for ten his, basket ball and other sports. This will be so arranged that in winter time it can be flooded and provide fine skating pond for the students. These grounds are kept in order by an athletic associa- tion of the undergraduates, who manage such affairs in much the same fashion as they are looked after at mems colleges.

Paris Omnibuses.

Complaints that the Omnibus com pany darken their windows with adver- tisements are rife in Paris as in London. In Paris, however, the offending bills are put, not in the windows of the vehi- cles, but in those of the stations, where most people who have had experience of riding in the omnibuses of the French capital have spent many tedious half hour. It is we'll known that French con- ductors can set down passengers, but cannot pick them up. The passengers have to go to the nearest station, as on the railways, there to wait their turn, and there being no competing under ground railways and an insufficient number of omnibuses to meet the re- quirements of the traffic, they often have to wait long time. In these cir cumstances it is felt to be hardship that they cannot see the omnibuses from the inside as they draw up, but have to rush out in the cold or rain every time one comes rumbling up to see whether it is the one they want.

 A man makes fool of himself about once a month durin' his natural life, and yet because his horse balks once a year ne jumps on his hat and wants to shoot somebody or somethin' right off quick.

NapOIeOn's Generosity.

Count de P-- had been raised by Bonaparte to honors and dignities, but for some unaccountable reason he be- trayed the confidence which his patron had reposed in him. When Bonaparte became cog2izant of the mans treach- cry, he ordered him to be arrested. He was to have been tried the following day and in all probability he would have been condemned, as his guilt was fully established. In the meantime Mime. de P-- solicited and obtained an audience of the emperor.
 "I am very sorry for your sake, ma- dame," he said, "that your husband should be mixed up in an affair which places his ingratitude in so glaring light"
 Perhaps he is not so guilty as your majesty supposes, said the countess.
 "Do you know your husbands sigma ture?" inquired the emperor, taking @ letter out of his pocket and handing it to her.
 Mime. de P-- rapidly perused the letter, recognized the handwriting and fell into a swoon. When she came around, Bonaparte put the letter into her hands, saying:
 "Take it. This is the only legal evil dence that exists against your husband There is lighted fire behind you.
 The countess quickly snatched up the important document and threw it into the flames. P-'s life was saved, but as for his honor, not all the influence of a generous emperor could avail to restore it.-Chicago Daily News.

New Point In Court Etiquette.

Miss Mary Philbrook, New Jersey s first woman lawyer, was in the chancery chambers in Jersey City few days ago to make a motion concerning the fore closure of a mortgage. All the other lawyers present had their hats off, and Miss Philbrook was in doubt as to whether she ought to take hers of, too, out of respect to the court.
 To settle the point she walked up close to the bench and asked Chancellor McGill in a stage whisper if she was obliged to remove her hat. The chan cellor looked amused and with smile said:
 "Oh, no, it is not necessary. Proceed with your motion.'
 Miss Philbrook made her motion tersely and with the utmost self posses sion. The chancellor reserved decision.
