NO ACCOUNTING. FOR TASTE.

Walter Mason in Nebra ska State Journal.
dispatch from London. which reached
these shores the other day chronicled the
death Of Henry Seton Merriman, wh5 has
written many tiresome books, each one
say seem unkind to say things about Mr..
Merriman's work, now that he has gone
to sleep with his fathers. but. after all,
he Is a stranger to us. and it is not prob :
able that his weeping relatives will ever
see these lines. We have never been able
to understand the apparent popularity of
this writer. His stories have been in &C.
mand by the magazines and have been is
sued in book form by the best publishers,
and have evidently enjoyed a large sale.
We have never yet encountered anybody
who admired his work, tho we have DIS
cussed it with many. There is something
vastly disappointing in all his stories; they
start as tho they were going to be good.
and you are always expecting something
tremendous to happen, and nothing ha p
pens. All his characters speak in cpl
grams: the women are just like the men:
there is always somebody with ihscrutable
eyes, who wears a garment Of mystery.
and who is tired and blase, and all that
sort of thing. The dialogues are wea1-
some to the last degree; one Of the char
acters speaks, and then the author takes
the floor with string of reflections. when
another character fires dizzy epigram
and the author takes the floor again. and
so on. Peace to the ashes of Mr. Merri-
man, if he is really and truly dead; we
only hope that no poStumous novels from
his pen will be published,

Changes in New England.

In no part of the United States has
there been such a sweeping change in
the racial elements of the population
as in New England. The old stock,
thru immigration and low birth rate,
is yearly diminishing, tho the popula-
ton as a whole is growing quite rapid
ly, having increased from 3,6O0,OOO to
100000 in thirty years. The last
census showed that Massachusetts
was the only New England state that
was gaining in population by an ex-
cess of births over deaths among the
native born. In q recent report the
Connecticut board of health reports
that in forty-one country towns of that
state the births among the natives ex-
ceeded the deaths by $40 last year.
Governor f. w. Rollins of New
Hampshire says in an article in the
Boston Globe that whereas thirty
years ago nine-tentl1s of the New Eng
land farmers were descendants of the
original settlers the old stock is now
rapidly disappearing and that within
twenty-five years there will be scarce
~ oily IGSSllLtllSSS VI 1t lSlC on the
old farms. The problem is to get the
right class of farmers to succeed those
who have gone, never to return. The
French Canadians prefer the towns to
the farms, so that the great influx Of
that people does not help the country
much. A great many of the old farms
are becoming the country homes of
rich people from other states, but
there is need of a sturdy farming class
which shall live on the land. Cover
nor Rollins thinks the Swedish i'm
migrants are ideal material for the
old farms, and he is making an effort
to attract them to New Hampshire.
In some respects the new popula-
ton of New England may be inferior
to the old, but thrifty as the Yankee
