ignorance of the Bible as Literature.

A boy OF seventeen should intimately
know the English Bible. He should
know it as literature quite aside from it's
religious teaching. He should know it
from having had it read to him rom his
earliest years, and from reading and
studying it tor himself A bov who

loss OF which nothing can compensate,
and which nothing can replace. 1t is
needless to speak OF the strength of the
lai guage, the beauty OF the poetry, and
the interest OF the narratives OF this won
deriul book, but necessary merely to
emphasize concerning it what was said
OF the myths ard legends-that, without
knowing it well, it is impossible to really
understand or appreciate the great mass
OF our best literature. Experience shows
that unless a boy acquires this knowl-
edge before he is seventeen he rarely gets
1t later. The lamentable ignorance that
exists in regard to the Bible was shown
by test OF college students as to their
knowledge OF bib ical illusions in the

A Swinburne Story.

Algernon Charles Swinburne, the
poet, tells how when a schoolboy at
Elton he found himself once in the same
railway carriage with the head master,
DR.. Goodford, who was grimly reading
newspaper. Mr.. Swinburnes father,
who did not know the peculiar shrink
Ing of august head masters from
strsnge parents, interfered with the
reading by asking DR.. Goodfords opin-
ion of Algernon Charles. "Now," con-
tinues Mr.. Swinburne, "as matter of
fact DR.. Geodford had never set eyes
on me and probably did not even know
OF my existence; but, enraged, / sup
pose, at my fathers rather unconven-
t1onal interruption, which he no doubt
considered a slight on his dignity, he
glanced down at me with scarlet face
and said deliberately Your boy. sir
your boy is one of the very worst in
SCHOOL, and then intrenched himself
once more behind his newspaper" 1t
was no use for Algernon Charles to pro-
test that DR.. Goodford did not even
know him by sight. do you think"

Carloads of Christmas Trees.

The Passumpsic division of the Boston

business ever known and nearly rs CARS
OF trees have been shipped along the line
OF the two roads, St. Johnsbury furnish

hauling them TO the cars. In some cases
contracts are made direct with the farm.

Most OF the trees were consigned to
Philadelphia where they are wholesaed
and where tree brings from SO cents to

one. The branches of the spruces are
tied down so that about 500 can be put
on car. The load is not heavy but as
lar as bulk goes this is all car will com.

coal cars with low sides. An element of
risk also enters into the matter Tor the
wholesalers. A few years ago one firm

which they were obliged to cart into the
country outside of Philadelphia and
dump.

"Anent your allusion to the color of
ParnelPs eyes" writes a lady CORE
spondent, ''niany years ago a young
girl passed man on the staircase OF
the Railway hotel, Westport, Ireland
There was tragedy written all over
him. So uncommon were the mans
eyes that they made clear to the girl a
phrase in Shakespeare she had never
before understood, Eyes like carbun-
cles.' The girl joined her friends and
said, I have seen a man with eyes
the color of solid mounted carbuncle.'
The late Captain Boycott, who was, one
of the party, said, Then you have seen
Parnell, for he is the only man know
with eyes that answer to that and it is
not likely to be he. for If he were in
this neighborhood he would be at New
port House. The party Travelled to
Dublin by the evenings mail train.
At Mullingar Parnell got into the same
carriage and sat opposite the writer,
who wrote on the margin of the paper
she was reading, The man I saw in
the hotel and passed it to Captain
Boycott, who returned it with the add
ed words, 1t is Parnell. London M.

A Little Brother to the Bear. By DR..
William ]. Long. Square 12mo. cloth,
PIP 400 Published BY CHM & Company,
Boston, at ST. SO net.
DR.. Long has already proved himself a
versatile and prolific writer, but new
story. or best of all new book, is al
ways welcome news to nature lovers as
he hunts without gun and his point of
view opens up fascinating study as to
the thoughts and purposes of fish, flesh
and fowl" And thefact that his obser-
vations have been verified over and over
again by naturalists and guides dsarms
the captous critics who try to discount
his conclusions. The book gets its title
from the amusing antics OF coon, who
is the Little Brother to the Bear, and
IN its 400 pages are observations made
by DR.. Long during the 80 years he has
been pupil i'll the school of the woods.
The highest point in literary skill and in
interest OF su jet matter has been reach
ed in the new volume and the clever illus,
trations by Charles Copeland add much
toits value and attractiveness. The story
is well told of the porcupine that rolled
down hill just tor iun, of the fox that
played possun 10 a'coop. OF king6shers
that stocked pool with minnows tor
their little ones to catch, and the patient
toad, D'dunk the Fat One," that learn
ed to sit on cows hoof until milking
time to catch the fl es that gathered
then. The queSr names are those given
by the Miicete Indians, and except when
otherwise STATE d thu incidents are taken
from DIR. Longs personal experiences.
Besides being notable contribution to
the growing nature library, it answers
the question so frequently ask,d at this
time, what book shall get for Christ
mas" The child who fluids "a Little
Brother to the Bear i'll bis stocking, or
the adult who gets it Christmas morn
ing will have book that will be his Joy
and delight tor many day.

Senator Hoar's Reproof.

The Washington correspondent of tn,

following incident, which will recall tt
many Vermonter the snub Mr.. Blaine
gave Gov. Horace Fairbanks when he
was presented to the Maine statesman
by Senator Edmunds:
Senator Hoar met Editor Harvey w.
Scott of the Portland Oregonian Wed.
Desday in one the capitol elevators under
circumstances which neither will soon
forget. Mr.. Scott, one of the most re-
spected citizens OF the Pacific coast and
as venerable IN his appearance as the
Massachusetts senator was accompanied
by Mr.. Mitchell, the senior senator from
his state. AS Mr.. Hoar came on the ele-
vator Mr.. Mitchell introduced him to
Mr.. Scott, who two years ago virtually
declined an election as United States SEN
ator. Mr. Scott rendered bis hand cor.
daily but quickly withdrew it as Senator
Hoar declined to grasp his hand
Il should tell you why | will not shake
hands with you, said Mr.. Hoar. There
once appeared in your paper a para
graph rejecting upon my friend. the late
Senator Morrill,, OF Vermont. 1t said he
was living along several years to save
funeral expenses
Il am not aware that such a para
graph was ever printed in my paper" re-
piled Mr.. Scott with some warmth as
well as surprise. 81 once had Vermont
man on the editorial staff who might
have written such a thing but cannot
say that it did or did not appear. l never
saw it,"
You are responsible for what appears
IN the Oregonian," interposed MIR. Hoar.
Il am, sir" said Mr.. Scott.
Then hold you responsible for the
paragraph"
Every well, sir, l will turn my back
upon you, rejoined the venerable editor
who was as good as his word. Mr..
Hoar did likewise and the two parted
company in silence.
