The Four Greatest Poets.

Who are the four greatest poets of the
world? The question was one, we gather
from Sir Edward Hamilton's mono
graph, which used to exercise Mr.. Glad.
stone. About the first three places in
deed he believed that there could be no
reasonable question. They must be as
signed to Homer, Dante and Shakes
peare. But about the fourth place Mr..
Gladstone found geat difficulty. He
considered that there were four COM
petitors-Eschylus, Virgil, Milton and
Goethe. We wonder how many of our
readers would at a first guess select Mr..
Gladstone's final choice? 1t was Goethe.
Who, in recent days, have been the
greatest masters of English? This was
another question which Mr.. Gladstone
was fond of considering. He decided in
favor of two as greater than all others
Cardinal Newman and Mr.. Ruskin. 1t
is interesting to recall the fact that Mr..
Morley, in lecture, answered the same
question. According to him, the great
masters of English in our generation
have been three-Carlyle, Macaulay
and Mr.. Ruskin. The last named alone
appears, it will be seen, in both lists
London News.

The Ruling Passion.

A celebrated musical critic was re-
Gently married in church, and after the
ceremony, as the wedding procession
marched down the aisle, the organist
played the wedding march from "Lo-
hengrin." When near the door, the
bridegroom stopped in the march and
addressed the wondering assembly thus:
81 know am committing breach
Of etiquette as we'll as propriety in do
ing this, but am not to blame. It is
my mental organization which has be-
come ineffably sensitive by reason of
the critical nature Of my duties"
Then he drew from the pocket Of his
dress coat we'll thumbed copy of tho
score of "Lohengrin. Opening it at
the march, he went over to the organist
and said:
"What offended my eur was the fact
that in tho seventeenth bar Of the da
oapo passage you flatted very badly,
and in the andante movement you
slurred the appoggiatura. Now" put
ting his finger upon the passage, "let
US try that again"
Once more the organ pealed forth,
and this time the player, conscious that
the great critic was listening to him,
accomplished his duty with credit to
himself and to the great satisfaction OF
the critic. Pick Me Up.

Luxury and Extravagance.

In general the destruction Of wealth
is a social as we'll as an individual loss
The wealth that is used up in riotous
living is diverted from better uses. Ex-
travagance is not necessarily luxury.
The mere transfer of wealth from one
hand to another does not involve de-
struotion. Consumption means using
up. When nation spends $3.50, 900 for
a great picture, the wealth is not de-
stroyed; it is simply transferred. When
the jubilee plunger ran through So, 900, =
900 in IL calendar months, the wealth
Of the world was diminished only by
the amount of it he and those who
sponged on him put down their threats
and otherwise wantonly destroyed. In
SO far as it was simply transferred to
others to whom he paid extravaganza
prices, it was not destroyed.
To give high prices for articles which
are rare is not necessarily luxury, for
the price and the rare edition or the old
master both remain. 1t is true that ex-
travagance may mean the transfer Of
