VITALITY OF BURNS FAME.
II Is One Of the Great Facts Of Our
Literature.

1t Is one OF the Great Facts OF our
Literature.
t'The inquest" on Robert Burns was
concluded long ago, but from time to
time the findings are reviewed by crit
ical writer's, as in recent symposium,
says Golfers A curious result thus
chances. From every such inquisition
the poet emerges the more radiant and
triumphal-the critics are lost in the
splendor they have evoked. 1t is one
thing to make literature; it is another
and quite different thing to write about
literature and the makers thereof. This
is truism, and yet the distinction Is
often confused, especially by the writ
ers of criticism. Burns has survived
several generations of critics, many
of whom made vain bid for remem-
brance by their praise or dispraise of
him The vitality of his fame is one
of the great facts of our literature.

superfluous Boys.

A British parliamentary paper
shows that, as usual, nearly 10000
more boys than girls were born in
the British isles last year. Whence,
then, the "superfuous woman?" The
boys die, during the first weeks and
months Of life, at a far greater rate
than the supposed weaker vessels. :"
In few months they have sunk to an
equality and soon woman takes the
lead, numerically, and keeps it, nu-
merically. The reason Is not uncon-
nected with the larger size of the
baby boys head, for which he either
pays the penalty very early or reaps
the reward-if woman Will forgive
the hint-later.

the state department concerning lhe

adian revenue cutter in Lake Erie.
Several officers of the department
upon reading the press dispatches OF
the occurrence searched for prece-
dents and in such cases none can be
found. The fact that no telegraphic
advices have been received leads to
the belief in the department that the
case is not of such serious conse-
quences as to make it an international
