Literature travels faster than steam
nowadays. And the worst Of il is that we
can't any of us give up reading: it's as in
sidlous as a vice and as tiresome a. a
virtue---The Touchstone.
To some, thinking is a kind of mental
game; they treat their reason as if il we're
a hy-wheel without a connecting strap. and
are guided In their actions by other peo-
ton.

planted seeds and eats all the early peas
and strawberries. She obstinately refuses
to lay eggs when eggs are high-priced. and
insists upon setting when her time could
be much more prohtably employed. After
her chickens are Matched she trails them
through the wet grass when she must
know that the results will be fatal. If an
incubator is substituted for the time-hon-
ored maternal process it must be sat up
with of nights lest the eggs be roasted.
and even that precaution is not sure to
prevent its taking fire and burning up the
barn and house along with itself. Besides.
an incubator costs money n is usually
not counted in the bill of expense by the
numerous persons whose visions of poultry
growing as an easy means of making a
living brighten the dull routine of pro-
fessionai and commercial life. Only the
ness. Ex-President Hayes went into it
and undoubtedly derived pleasure If not
profit from it. Ex-vice President Morton
is also raising chickens for a living. and
sells the spring variety all the year
round, having fifteen incubators constantly
at work. Some highly aristocratic fowls
of pedigree long enough to make them
daughters of the revolution belong to his
hennery. One naughty bird is valued at
no less than $500. Mr.. Morton's hennery,
| dairy and vegetable garden combined bring
him an income of over $4,000 a year. but
with a cow barn costing s250,0W and other
buildings in proportion. together with an
| attendant for every half dozen cows and
| every incubator, the expenses probably ex-
| coed the income. Mr.. Morton has realized
the dream that haunts the man who sits
on an office stool the year round and sees
chickens and their easy profits between
the columns of figures. Being able to af-
ford the luxury, Mr.. Morton presumably
enjoys it. and long may he continue to do
so. The man on the stool with only ST. 50
In his pocket can better enjoy his chicken
farm if he continues to view it in long per-
| spective as one of the things he would like
to have-a point of view where most
coveted things of this world are at their
best,

The eulogies which Senators Fairbanks
and Beverage pronounced yesterday upon
the life and services of Oliver P. Morton,
while unlike. were faithful portrayals of
one of the masterful characters in the
diana of the war stands in history as a
leader very largely because Oliver P. Nor
ton was Governor. The Indiana. of to-day
is to be congratulated because it has as
Morton's successors in the Senate two men
who could so e%loquently speak for her as
did our senator's Yesterday.

A great publishing house has, in a way,
a distinct personality in the educational
and literary world. The Appletons have
been such a strong element in both these
fields that the financial failure of the firm
brings regret TO the minds of many far be-
yond what would be felt in regard to a
like embarrassment in another line of BUSH
ness. TIL Appletons are identified with the
community through a long list of school
books, scientific works, periodicals and
general literature, a book with their i'm
print carrying assurance that it was the
number of foreign writer's to the American
public, but have always been especially
friendly to American authors, and were
quick to recognize the merit Of Westcott's
David Harum," after the story had been
rejected by six other firms. They have
also published a number of famous art
works, the latest of which, a series of
Goupil illustrations of the art treasures in
the Louvre, is probably the greatest and
most sumptuous work ever undertaken. 1t
would be a real misfortune to the public
if this firm were to go out of existence,
but, according to, the figures shown. this
seems unlikely. The collapse is far from
being as extensive as that of the Harpers,
the embarrassment being due to an extern
sive installment system of collections from
its patrons, and the borrowing of money
in anticipation of collections not yet due.
The house will undoubtedly be crippled for
some time. but will probably continue in
business. This failure. that of the Harpers,
the separation of Doubleday G. Mcclure
and the movements of various smaller
houses in New York and Boston show that
a considerable commotion has existed in
publishing circles and that the great flood
of books has not meant "a corresponding
profit.

The great majority of women in the pop
ulation of Massachusetts recently led a
philanthropist among the legislators to
offer an amendment to the marriage laws
of the State providing that mo male citi-
zen of Massachusetts shall be allowed to
go out of the State for a wife until he files
with the secretary of state an affidavit
that he is unable TO procure a wife in this
commonwealth" OF course, other MEM
bers OVERWHELMINGLY cast this proposed
measure into the vast limbo of rejected
laws. not stopping to reflect that by SO
doing they were perpetuating in literature
and out the melancholy spinsters from
whom Miss Wilkins draws her heroines.

The principal of one OF the normal
schools of Maine. a prohibitionist. has de
clared against the scheme of teaching SCI
entific temperance in the public schools.
He gives IL as his Judgment that nothing
can be more absurd than to undertake TO
teach children the physiological effect of
alcohol. or. for that matter. of anything
else, the great argument against the use
of intoxicating drinks being moral. rather
than physiological. Educators in this State
are known to hold the same opinion.

The average of commodity prices has adj
vanced in London from 59.2 in July, 1896. to
75.1 in February of this year, equivalent to
q per cent. which Is not much different

would say that instead of an advance in
the prices of commodities of q per cent.
gold has deprecated to that extent.
