On Reading Aloud.

II is a distinct loss that reading is so
badly taught and that so few people
know anything about the magic of the
poets in their use of sound. We read
almost exclusively with the eye, al
though poetry is primarily intended
for the ear. Shakespear wrote almost
exclusively for the ear, and we remain
unmoved by the wonderful vibration
of his great passages until we hear
them.
Poetry ought always to be heard
first and read afterward If the best
of Browning is alphabetically and In
diligently interpreted by the voice,
the much discussed obscurity is not in
evidence. Many people find, for in
stance, little difficulty in getting the
clear and full significance of 1.-The
Portrait of the Last Duchess" when
they read it for the first time, but ii
fastens itself instantly on the mag
ination if it is well read.
A good deal of time now devoted to
commentaries and text study might
prolitably be given TO reading the text
aloud without note or comment. \
work of art slowly discloses its full
meaning, and familiarity with it is the
first condition of apprehension

Mrs. Gladstone.

We clip the following eulogy OF
good woman from the Baltimore Tele-
gram:
When we contemplate the vast
amount of good which a noble und true
woman may accomplish during her life,
we cannot sufficiently regret the death
of Mrs. Gladstone
From the beginning unto the close,
her career was one OF sweet and gra-
cious helpfulness to others, OF sacrifice
and devotion; and through her loyalty
to her family, the circle, formed by her
worthy actions, widened and widened
until ii touched the world and blessed
1t. Good deeds are as far reaching as
evil ones, and they possess the advan-
tage OF being more potent and durable.
Mrs. Gladstone was was not of the
professional beauty type" although
1T Is said that she was handsome wo-
man in her youth; but her prominence
and popularity were derived from a
more exalted source. She was cele-
brated for the beauty of her character,
victions, her depth of soul, her strong,
sincere nature, and those divine quail
ties which, defying time, become more
glorious with each advancing year. In
life they are the bulwarks Of home,
the anchors Of the hayward ones, and
after death they form the monuments
which we all worship and revere.
There are many, many times in the
lives of women, when, indeed, life
seems cruel and Heaven but a dream,
when the weary spirit shrinks and
trembles before the colossal demands
of daily routine, when death would
appear far sweeter than the continual
Struggle; but with brave souls that is
but "a passing shadow. They turn reso-
lutely from the darkness, tight logged
y on, conquer obstacles and tempta-
tions, and wear the crown at last.
Mrs. Gladstone was one Of those;
she was self-poised, sensible, ambitious
and capable in overcoming; but it must
be remembered that she had an inspir-
alton which was sustaining, that OF
loving and appreciative husband. He
did not hesitate to attribute the great
er part OF his success to his faithful
companion, and every woman fully
realizes that toll is thereby rendered
lighter, and the pathway OF life much
smoother The wife of England's pre-
mier has laid her head beside that of
her dear husband the shadows of death
seemed less shadowy to her, because
he had passed that way, and she left to
all womankind the legacy that to be
upright noble and unselfsh Is the only
road leading toward happiness and
reward.
