CTo De Continued,)
Rather a D.l,catc subject.

Plagiarism is rather a delicate sub
ject, and the general public has never
settled it quite satisfactorily 1t is
true, on the one hand, that several
great artists, Shakespeare among them,
have deliberately taken plots and ideas
from older writer's. and it must be adj
mitted, on the other hand, that some
mediocre persons seek to win fame by
the doubtful means of repeating other
peoples's sayings as their own. Gen
. orally speaking, if a man can take an
idea which has already been used and
do a great deal more with it than the
former owner did, the public will be
satisfied.
1t is manifestly impossible for any
writer to be absolutely original. HUI
man nature itself is not. 1t has been
repeating itself since there was a hui
man being on earth. The same old dra-
matte situations present themselves
now as We're common in the days Of
Noah. A writer may appear to plagi-
arize when he has merely hit, uncon-
body else.
The cry of plagiarism is, generally
speaking. the favorite creation of
cheap minds-of people who are anx-
ious to display their knowledge of lit
erature by parading some passage in
the classics as the original of one in a
later publication.-Chicago Journal.

Three Layers of London.

1t has been fairly well proved that
the Roman London lies buried about
eighteen feet below the level of Cheap
side, and deeper even than that is bur-
led the earlier London of the Britons.
In nearly all parts of the city there
have been discovered tesselated pave
ments, Roman tornbs, lamps, vases,
sandals, keys, ornaments, weapons,
coins and statues. When deep cuts
were made for the sewers in Lombard
street the lowest stratum was found to
consist of pavements, and many-coIored
dice We're lying scattered about. Above
that was thick layer of wood ashes
and the debris of wooden buildings In
building the exchange the workmen
came upon a gravel pit full of oyster
shells, cattle, bones, old sandals and
shattered pottery. Two pavements
were dug up under the French church
in Threadneedle street, and other pave
ments have been cut through in vari-
Gus parts of the city. Authorities on
the subject say that the soil seems to
have risen over Roman London at the
rate of nearly a foot in century

Startling Discoveries.

Tn due course I reached Kendall and
Mr.. Travers' house, and found that 1
was expected, for, on giving my name,
I was shown up at once to a charming
bed room, with q natty dressing room
beyond: and when I had made myself
presentable, I rang, and was taken 10
the drawing room, where I found Mr.
,Travers (who had. just come in) and
three pupils, as I supposed them to be
young fellows of about my own age.
The master of the house was of me-
dunn height, and had a handsome face,
albeit "sicklied DER with the pale cast
of thought" and in his eyes. which

''If you are lying to me, God forgive

changing his tone, he went on: But.

imagine, and you wouldn't .. have got

some bitter experiences; and if ever
want advice. go to Mr.. Travers and ask
himtto help you"
His tone was so sympathetic and
friendly that I had to put the utmost
restraint upon myself, and to think of
my fathers words. to prevent me from
disclosing the course of events that had
eliminated in my coming to Kendall;
but got the better of the inclination.
and merely said:..-
yes, you are right; I have had my
share of trouble, and if I want help
shall certainly go to Mr.. Travers;" and
then, having solemnly agreed that no
further reference should be made to the
grave subject we had been discussing,
we set our faces homeward, and
reached Kendall late at night.
