Good Literature In Demand.

In Harper's Mr.. Alden refutes the
idea that American literature is on the
decline. and that there is no demand
for good books. The fact that so many
books and periodicals are published
which have no relation to anything
which may be properly called litera
ture must not be taken as an indica
ton that all publishing enterprises
have that detachment. and are of a
wholly commercial character" The
author of novel that is real literature
declares Mr.. Alden. gets his share OF
popularity. Continues Mr.. Alden:
We have no such constellation OF
great novel-writers as forty years ago
frightened the English literary heav.
ems. The interval has been made radi
ant by solitary stars. now and then of
great magnitude. We may not soon
see another group as thronged the field
dazzling the view of the last genera
ton; but the skies are nebulously rich
for fresh indications TO satisfy the
eagerly expectant eyes of the English
speaking people. The demand will
surely be met. We are not confessing
to the inferiority of our own present
literature as compared with the past
texcluding from the retrospect single
period, as brief as it was brilliantly
On the contrary, in America. literary
.aste and literary activity are far adj.
vanced since the days of Irving and
Cooper. The quality of our literature
is better than in those days; appre-
citation is quicker and more abundant.

HOW PROVIDENCE WATCHES The PLAY.

Fer thirty years I've studied
Productions grave and gay,
Opera, tragedy. drama.
Comedy. farce and play;
farquet. lobby and foyer,
Balcony box and aisle.
And over the tout ensemble
Mind Providence seems TO smile.
For when did the leading lady
Forget her entrance cue,
II the hero lay bound by the villain,
Where the night express comes through
In thirty years experience
have never seen the day
When the hero instead OF the villain
Was killed at the end OF the play.
When the tenor loves the soprano
Does she sigh FIR the barytone?
Not she. for the dark contralto
Has caught him for her own.
And when did the heroine fall in love
With the comedy. high or low,
Or the whole estate by the long-lost will
To the wicked lawyer go?
Does the husband forgive his erriDg wife
Before 10A5!
Does the villain. instead of the good old man,
Turn up at the last alive?
So. taking 1t all together.
Author and plot and theme,
Opera. farce and drama.
Kind Providence reigns supreme.

Near Perdun. on the south coast of
France, there is submarine hotel
which attracts large numbers of WIS.,
itors every summer. The building is
of steel on concrete foundations. and
has been fitted with large plate-glass
windows. from which the guests may
look upon the beauties of submarine
life at a depth of six fathoms. Elab-
crate machinery at the surface pumps
sea air to those immured below. and
at the same time drives away the
impure air through draught tubes. 1t
was in this hotel that the famous nov
elist. Richeboure. penned some of his
most thrilling romances when taking
his annual fight from the hustle and
noise OF the French capital.

\ Sensible Editor.

The editor of the Elko Free Press
has the following terse item in his
last issue
Because the town of Tonopah hap
pens to be little quiet just at pres
eGt, some of the newspapers seem
inclined To run down the camp.
Notwithstanding all this, we believe
the district has a great future before
it and will prove to be one of the
most wonderful mineral belts ever
discovered If it was located in Mon
tana, Idaho, Colorado or Utah, in
stead of Nevada Tonopah would Ell e
this be a city Of 5000. Every paper
in the State should give the camp a
lift instead of throwing out hints that
it is going to pieces The mines are
there and will be worked in due time.
And it will benefit every section OF
the State.

A Mistake.

A great many people make the
mistake of asking an assayer what
this or that mans ore runs, has he
got anything of value, and other
questions too numerous to mention.
The assayer is duty bound to be
strictly confidential, and must refuse
to answer such questions in order to
protect himself and his patron. II
he fails to do this he soon loses the
confidence of everyone, and ceases to
operate, Tonopah people are not an
exception to the above
