EMERSON'S PROSE STYLE.
Held to BE Lacking In the Quality
of Writers Called Masters.

What shall be said of Emerson's
prose? Was Matthew Arnold right
when. as an experienced critic calmly
Judging the favorite author of his
youth. he denied that the Essays"
the lectures and English Traits" form
ed a body of prose of sufficient merit
to entitle Emerson to be ranked as a
great man of letters? 1t seems as if
the time had come for Emerson's coun-
trymen frankly to accept this verdict.
Because of deficiencies, both of style
n of romance. Emerson does not
belong to the small class of the great
the fact that Nature and many Of
the essays contain pages of eloquent
prose almost equal in power and beau
ty to noble poetry, was nearly always
that of the lecturer or preacher rather
than that of the writer. He too fire.
Quently lost the note of distinction and
was content if he satisfied his far from
eXigent audiences. In diction. to be
sure. he vas Il conscious and consum-
mate master. and it need scarcely be
said that few writer's have surpassed
him in the ability to compose Il preg-
nant sentence. But. as is generally ad.
United and as is sllov / by his prac-
tice of piecing his notes together, he
was rarely able to evolve Il paragraph.
much more a whole essay, in a mas
terly or even in a workmanlike fashion.
1t may be granted that critics have
overemphasized his lack of conference.
that there is more logical unity in his
essays than appears on first reading,
that English Traits" and the later
volumes are far from being mere
strings of '.orphic sayings but the
fact seems to remain that the prose
style of Emerson from first to last
lacks the tirmness. the compass. the
precision, the feXibility. the individ-
uality we demand Of the prose writer's
whom we denominate masters.-Pro-
fessor Trent in Bookman.

OF BIRDS.
They Are the Result of Contact with |
Civili.ation.

Probably in a state of wild nature
birds never make mistakes. but where
they come in contact with our c~iviliza-
ton and are confronted by new condi
tons they very naturally make mis-.
takes FOr instance. their cunning il
nest building sometimes deserts them.
The art of the bird is to conceal its
nest both as to position and us to ma
terial. but now and then it is betrayed
into weaving into its structure SNOWY
and bizarre bits of this or that. which
give its secret away and which seem
to violate all the traditions of its kind.
l have the picture of a robins nest he
fore me upon the outside of which are
stuck Il small muslin flower. Il Leaf
from Il small calendar and a photo
graph of a local celebrity. A moro
homogeneous use of material in bird
architecture it would be hard to find.
| have been told of another robins nest
upon the outside of which the bird had
fastened a wooden label from Il near
by flower bed marked Wake Robin"
Still! another nest | Save seer built
upon a large. snowy foundation of the
paperlike flowers of antennaria. or ev-
erlasting. The wood thrush frequently
weaves a fragment of newspaper or Il
white rag into the foundation Of It's
nest. Evil communications corrupt
good manners" The newspaper and
the rag bag unsettle the wits of the
birds.
The phoebe bird is capable of this
kind of mistake or indiscretion. All the
past generations of her tribe have built
upon natural and therefore neutral
sites. usually under shelving and over
hanging rocks, and the art of adapting
the nest to its surroundings. blending
1t with them. has been highly devel
Oped. But phube now frequently
builds under our sheds and porches.
where, SO far as concealment is con
cerned, a change of material, say from
moss to dry grass or shreds of bark.
would be an advantage to her. But she
departs not a mite from the family ira
ditiOnS: she uses the same woody
mOsses which in some cases. especially
when the nest is placed upou unevenly
sawed timber. makes her secret an
open n to all e~yes.-John Burroughs

A Henpecked A.troloxer.

Lilly. the astrologer and alchemist,
could not see for himself sufficiently
far into that future which he professed
to be able to scan so clearly for others
to guard him against making a fool Of
himself by marrying. He caught q
vixen, 'of the temper Of Mars" to use
his own words, and the fact hat she
brought him $500 as dowry did not
count for much in the way of COM

relations cost him f1,OOO."

MIGHTY TREES OF SIERRA.
They are the Greatest in Size of All Tree
Creations of the Living World.

all the creations of the living world
none is sc great in size. so majestic in
presence. as the mighty trees Of the
Sierra and the Cascades. For here the
air is always fertile with moisture,
clouds blown in from the Pacific ocean
rest among the mountain SUBMITS. even

and clapping his hand thereto seized
the wrist of the thief. He drew forth
the erring member. and, looking at it
with supreme disgust. he released 1t,
saying with a grimace Of disgust. For
heavens sake. my good man. 60 and
wash your hands before you put them
in a gentleman's pocket again."-Lon-
