"A Notable Silver Annivetxary.


With the close of the present year Mr..
David 9. Cook of Chicago will celebrate
bis first quarter centennial as editor and
publisher of Sunday school literature.
starting twenty-five years ago, without
reputation or assurance Of support, he
has become one Of the most widely and
favorably known publishers In this line.
Beginning in 1875 with two small pub
,lications, his periodicals have grown in
Number and favor until there are few
schools In this country that do not find it
to their interest to use some of his pure
ahd helpful publications. while many in
distant lands pay tribute to their merits.
Inc past Quarter Of a century has wit
messed many chatgts among Sunday
school publishers, and much less time

Cook is preparing to celebrate the be-
ginning Of another quarter century with
ADDITIONAL improvements and new publ

aim, and we are not at all surprised at
its popularity.
The restraining influence Of the Chris

fail to restrain. This paper should be a
most welcome accessory in this work,
and one which all should appreciate.

American Theatrical Taste.

Being much more composite than the
English public, the American public is
also more catholic in it's tastes. 1t has,
moreover, {! curious innocence, or lack
of moral discrimination, which is now
and then very disconcerting. People tell
you and in certain sense it is true
that the stage is dominated by "the matt
ness girl" the half-educated young wom-
an, shop assistant, typewriter, telephone
girl, or what not, who, if she have not
a young man to relieve her of the ex-
pense, devotes considerable portion of
her weekly earnings to theater-going The
tastes Of this fair critic are naturally all
for romance, sentiment and cheap ideal
