Who is a mans best biographer? Mr.. Gosse is
very strong in the conviction that of all incom-
petent candidates for the work the mans widow
is the worst. She is the triumph OF the un-
fttest.' he says in THE Anglo-Saxon Review"
Others have little art, little experience little
sense OF proportion; but she exceeds them, for
she has none at all. Her object is to present to
the world image of the deceased which shall
De deliberately, though unconsciously, false.
The had his humor, his eccentricities; he
had a rough side to his tongue; he had frailties;
he was a picturesque and human being. 1t is
the determination of the widow TO hide all
this 1t is to the widow that we owe the
fact that a very large section of recent biogra-
ply might pass for annex TO Nine. Tussauds
gallery For it must be remarked, the widow
does not always boldly appear on the title page;
she often turks behind the apparently unpreJu-
diced name of some doce author. Her Junction.
however always is to stultify and misrepresent
the life and character of the deceased, and the
more devotion she thinks she Is paying to ms
memory the more completely she carries this

A half humorous. half touching. story is told
of a collector who, falling into poverty, per-
haps from inordinate indulgence in collecting
had perforce to turn bookseller. with his own
library for stock. One day a customer came in
and demanded "tarnished volume, worth its
weight in gold" that appeared in corner of an
old catalogue The old painfully climbed
ND a ladder took out the volume from its place
high and aloof," and began to turn It
When ten minutes had elapsed without his de-
scending, the customer ventured to repeat his
request do you imagine for one moment. sir
said the bookseller from his ladder, that any
consideration of mere lucre could persuade me
TO part with this most interesting book, of whose
existence you have just reminded me?"

John Wesley. The London Morning Post" re-
minds us. recorded many things in his journals
which do not appear in the printed editions,
which would have been painful reading to some
people had they been published at the time
when they were written down. 1t was, more
over strictly laid down that they should never.
at any time, be printed. But the art OF photog-
raphy had not been invented when this intunc-
ton was made and understand that the
manuscripts are being photographed and that
the facsimiles thus obtained will appear in one
of the weekly religious journals.

OF the late Charlotte Yonge, The London
Daily News" says that the real end which she
served was to provide certain order of minds
with food as strong they capable of di-
gesting Her books imposed strain upon the
intellect, and yet it could not be denied that
reading them was intellectual process Her
own mind sober and methodical absorbed
in her profession and in the ordinary details of
life. She once wrote four pages to a distin-
guished woman of letters who had paid her
visit, the express and sole purpose of the letter
being inquire whether the visitor had dropped
button from her glove. Her shrewdness and
moderation laid hold upon intellects to which
the literature of the parish library does not
usually appeal. DR.. WheweI, for instance the
famous Master Of Trinity, who was supposed
by his friends TO know everything, and admitted
by his enemies TO know a good DEAL described
the Clever Woman of the Family as the best
novel in the English language. The praise was
extravagant. and would have shocked Miss
Yonge's sober taste. unless her mental balance
had for once been upset by flattery.
It is well known that Friedrich Nietzsche had
a very poor opinion of the German language

correspondence with him published recently

ries Of financial straits are being told
by shareholders in the now insolyent
Anglo American Savings and Loan AS.
ISOLATION, which incidentally throw
some light on the associations meth
ods.
In 1S95 q resident Of Washington
borrowed S250e from the ASSOCIATION,
buying at the same time $500 of its
stock. On his loan he paid five pei
cent. interest, and in addition five per
cent. of what the company called pre-
miums" He also paid ON the install
ment plan for his stock. Altogether
these payments amounted to about
$3.50 q year Up to this time the man
mas paid in $270O. yet he still owes the
entire S2500 that he borrowed. and has
paid for only $11OO Of his stock. This
shareholder complains further that
though he was told he would receive
ten per cent. interest on his stock, ht
never received 4 dollar of it.
The Secretary of q Morarian church
in Pennsylvania recently wrote to the
receivers here. and asked that all com.
munications relating to the shares held
by his father or his sister should be
sent to him. He asked this. he eX'
plained. because he had kept his fam
lily in ignorance of the calamity to the
association. and had paid their Interest
out of his own pocket rather than risk
the shock to his father. who was blind
and an invalid. and had Invested all
his savings in the association.
