DEAD BOOKS OF THIS DECADE.
Where Are The Heavenly Twins, TIL
Prisoner of Zenda and Trilby?

Prisoner of Zenda and Trilby?
The decade which is now nearing
its end will be found, think, when
looked at retrospectively, to have been
the most sterile decade of the whole
century whose close its marks writes
Harry Thurston Peck, in Ainslee's.
1T is a decade in which some eminent
authors have finished their careers,
and in which other eminent authors
have deteriorated and sunk to the
level Of the commonplace, but in which
scarcely one author has arisen to do
original and splendid work imbued
with vitality that is sure to make
it live throughout the years that are
to come.
Take fiction, for example. Robert
Louis Stevenson's career laps over so
as to include the first four years of our
decade, yet in those four years he
wrote nothing that can be ranked
with is best work; for one cannot con-
slider David Balfour to deserve place
beside Kidnapped of which it is a
sequel. Henry James is still among
our living authors, and is still indus
triously writing; yet of him 1t also
may be said that his most character
istic and most enduring work was
written more than ten years ago.
Since 1890, though he still shows us
his continued possession of the quail
ties that have made him so exquisite
master of social psychology, he
never reaches now the level of The
American The Europeans, and The
Point of View, while in criticism and
miscellaneous writing he has of late
done practically nothing. In fiction
by Americans there is also nothing
which both belongs to this decade and
at the same time to the permanent
records of literature. Mr.. HOwells,
like his literary congener, Mr..
James, is still producing novels; but
they are novels written rather for en-
tertainment than for fame, and the
two books of his which best deserve to
live-A Modern Instance and The Rise
of Silas Lapham-belong to an earlier
period of his career. In order to see
1OW OuSuly al IAC LSIAOi
of the past ten years has been, it is
necessary only to call to mind a few
of the books that enjoyed at the time
of their publication tremendous
vogue. There are, for example, The
Heavenly Twins, Ben Hur, The Red
Badge of Courage, The Prisoner Of
Zenda, Trilby, Beside the Bonnie Brier
Bush, Quo Vadis, and more recently
King Noanett and Hugh Wynne. Any
one of these at the time when it first
appeared would have been described
by thousands of readers as genuine
addition to the literature that will
last. But who thinks Of any of them
in that way now? They entertained
or they amused; they served their pur
pose; they have already ceased to be
sold; and to all intents and pur-
poses, they are forgotten

THE SMALL BOYS CONSCIENCE.

| have heard it denied that small
New England children have the New
England conscience, but some things
| have seen and heard incline me to
think that they often have it. A story
that was told me the other day points
that way. One day the mother Of
ten-year-old boy gave him two slices
of buttered bread, telling him to give
one of them to his little sister. He
carried out the order That night
when he went to bed he was evident
ly disturbed in his mind and remorse-
full about something, and his mother
questioned him in way to bring out
the truth 'I-I wasn't nice to Peggy
about that bread and butter" he
owned. Why" asked his mother,
"did you take the bigger piece
NO" he answered, "hers was little
bigger than my piece, but mine was a
good deal utterer!"-Boston Tran

AMERICAN DENTISTS THE BEST

American dentists are acknowledged
to be the most skil.ful in the world.
Many of them are practicing with
great success in Europe. IN Germany
they are subject to considerable an
noyance. Their American diplomas
are not respected. They cannot buy
anything at drug store except on a
prescription signed by a German ply
sician.

AN IMPRESSIVE FUNERAL.
Burial OF the Victims of the Maine
Explosion in the National
Cemetery.

On one of the short days of the Old
year, the last sad rites over the mer
who met death in Havana harbor by
the explosion of the Maine were per.
formed in the Arlington National
cemetery. This celebrated soldiers
battle-ground occupies an extensive
and elevated tract on the Virgins
side Of the Potomac river, directly
across from the national capital
The scene at the burial of the Maine
victims was notable one. There were
present the president and his cab.
met, Gen. Miles and his staff, Admiral
Dewey, Capt. Sigsbee, who commanded
the Maine at the time of the explosion,
and several troops of cavalry, besides
hundreds of spectators. The ground
had light covering of snow, and the
day was chilly and dark.
The Marine band played a dirge. aft
er which Chaplain Clark, of the Naval
academy, read the burial service of the
Episcopal church. He was followed by
Father Chadwick, the chaplain of the
Maine, who read the services of the
Roman Catholic church, blessed the
ground, and prayed for the repose OF
the souls of the departed. A detach-
ment of marines then fired three vol.
leys over the dead, and a bugle sound
ed the soldiers and sailors last good
night.
While this ends, in one sense, the
story Of the Maine disaster, in another
sense that book is still open. Who
blew up the Maine? is a question that
has never been authoritatively an.
swered. 1t remains one of the mys-
teries of history. Perhaps those who
now sleep on the Arlington hillside
may understand it all, but their as
sociates who survived the shock have
never fathomed it.-Youth's Compan-

POPE PLAYED pAssATELIA
Became Marderous over
the GaAe.

Italians in Rome have a delightful
little game, which is called the Pas
satella." 1t is played mostly nowadays
in low drink shops, and, as it leads FREE
quently to murder, the police are anx-
ious to stop it.
Round table some men are smoking.
AT the head sits man with flask of
wine and glass before him. He il
the president of the party. All the
company, including the president, have
paid for that flask of wine, but not one
of them can drink drop of it unless
the president gives permission. He,
however. may drink as often as he
likes. When he passes the g;ass to an
other that other may drink until the
president cries "Stop!" and the glass
is passed on to the next. Sometimes
the "Stop!" comes before single drop
is drunk. This is the fun for the others
who are allowed to drink.
A good-natured president rarely re-
peats this joke, but it sometimes hap
pens that he has grudge against one
of the men, and then the unfortunate
victim sits the whole evening, smoking
and frowning, while he sees all the
others drink but himself This is MAX
ing an "Olmo" of him! And woe to
a president who would make an "Olmo"
OF the same man twice, for he would
soon have knife run across his throat.
1t is the frequency Of such tragic
end that causes the police to try to pre-
vent the game when possible. Re-
Gently man was killed by an infuri-
ated "Olmo."
One of the popes, hearing Of the
murders committed at this game, want
ed to know what this Passatella was
like, and asked his cardinals to play
it with him. They did so. The presi-
dent and vice president were cardi-
nails and the pope was made the "Olmo."
When the game was over the pope
struck his fist on the table, saying:
per Dio! l know now why they kill
each other at this gamen" He never
played it again.
The Passatella is essentially Roman
game. and is unknown to other parts
of Italy. Like all other popular Roman
customs, the Passatella is of pagan
origin. 1t is remnant of a custom OBJ
served in the banquets of ancient Rome,
when rex vini'' was elected to direct
the number of times and quantity each
guest was 10 drink.-N. Y. Sun,

How to Cook Turntps.

In this case it is first catch your
turnip;" that is, find that sweet, little
white turnip which is fat, with purple
top (not big, round, with blue or pink
top), fine of flavor raw, and delicious
when cooked. Peel, quarter and boil
in salted water to which little sugar
has been added. Boiled quickly they
are much better than when boiled SLOW
ly, so hasten the process, being sure to
cook long enough to be thoroughly
done. Drain when done, and slice, re-
turning to the stove to dry off extra
moisture. Dress with butter, pepper
and salt only; serve in a hot, covered
dish. 1t is quite as well to cut the quar-
tered turnips into slices before cooking
They must never be mashed in any case,
mashing develops a bitterness in tur-
nips.-Ella Morris Kretschmar, in

TRIAL BY FARCE.
rus Case Find . Parallel in "Al-
Toe in Wonderland"

There is delicious bit of court non
sense in "Alice in Wonderland" that
bears striking similarity to the Sc
rious but almost as peculiar trial of
Dreyfus. A Secent writer has made the
clever parallel:
''There's more evidence to come yet,
please your majesty" said the White
Rabbit, jumping up in great hurry.
This paper has just been picked up"
what is it?" said the queen.
II haven't opened it yet" said the
White Rabbit, "but it seems to be a
letter written by the prisoner to-to
somebody"
who is it directed to?" said one of
the jurymen.
ut isn't directed at ALL" said the
White Rabbit. in fact, there's moth
ing written on the outside" He un-
folded the paper as he spoke, and add
ed: 1T isn't a letter, after all; it's a
set of verses"
Are they in the prisoners hand
writing?" asked another of the jury
men.
NO, they're not" said the White Rab-
bit, "and that's the queerest thing
about it"
(The jury all looked puzzled.)
HE must have initiated somebody
else's hand" said the king.
(The jury all frightened up again.)
"Please, your majesty" said the
knave, II didn't write it, and they can't
prove I did; there's no name signed at
the end"
IF you didn't sign it" said the king,
that only makes the matter worse.
You must have meant some mischief, or
else you'd have signed your name like
an honest man."
"Let the jury consider their verdict"
the king said, Dor about the twentieth
time that day.
