l wish we had more reading clubs in
this country. The book that is intel,
ligently discussed by people who really
read it is worth a vast deal more than
the book that is read and digested in
solitary selfshness. There is a certain
class of books which the average per-
son can only be induced to read in this
manner, and sad to tell. these are the
books best worth reading. Book re-
views have done harm to one class of
reader. and are great boon to another.
| am tremendous believer in the val
ue, from an educational point of view,
of the university residence. During
study hours, or, rther, lecture, hours,
there is little chance of discussion, and
the assimilation of knowledge is greater
under social than under scholastic con-
ditionS. | have noticed that Il school
girl who was not strong enough to dis
tinguish herself in the classroom has
acquired a perfect fund of knowledge
from the constant association with
those who had physical vigor and the
mental capacity for study. l would
ask for no greater privilege for young
girl than the constant association with
men of learning and refinement. 1t is
extraordinary, the "graciousness' which
can be impaired to knowledge by it's
assimilation rather than acquisition

1t would be Interesting to know how
many copies OF the Pilgrims Progress
are reprinted every year. The number
for 1903 Will not be very largely in
creased by the new edition de luxe"
announced by the Religious Tract So
ciety, because this is limited to $50
copies at two guineas each. The fea-
ture of the edition is it's illustrations by
Mr.. Harold Coping, which, instead of
being reproduced from process blocks,
will be photographed direct upon brom-
ide paper. The text is taken from the
eleventh edition of 1858 the last re-
vised by Bunyan. The London Daily
News recalls some interesting facts
about early editions of this immortal
work. "A first edition of it fetched
e1750, or more than e400 per ounce.
If, them the 1883 reprint is to be found
in any farmhouse library some rustic
has teasure that he knows not of. 1t
is curious to note how Bunyan added to
his story year by year. Worldly Wise
man made his debut in the second edi-
ton; Mr.. By-ends in the third, which

The publishers of Thomas Dixon,
Jr's., latest novel, "The one Woman
undaunted by what they call the storm
of criticism" against it. have issued a
little pamphlet in which they give the
public the benefit of both sides of the
question. mo book" they say, pub
lished in recent times has received such
a torrent of savage abuse from I'M
known critics, and such enthusiastic
praise from the leaders of thought.
This statement is especially remarkable
for the naivete with which it claims
that the savage abuse comes alone
from unknown critics and that the
enthusiastic praise" is given by the
leaders of thought" Among the lead
ers of thought whom they quote are
such famous people as Rev. r. j. Glee-
son. Leon c. Prince, Charles A, Schier-
en-, William E. Walz, and Rev. j. b.
Cranfell. Among the unknown critics
is the well-known literary editor of the
Providence Journal, who sums up the
case of THE One Woman" in a nut
shell. IF the book" he says, took
the course its feeble literary merit sug-
gests. few persons would ever hear of
it. But The One Woman is appar-
emily not destined to the fate of imme-
date oblivion. To call it dime novel
would be an insult to form of litera :
ture that is respectable by comparison.
We have no hesitation in reprinting
this caustic judgment, for the publish
ers of "The One Woman" have them
selves not hesitated to send it out to
the public in their extremely entertain
ing pamphlet.-Boston Transcript.

1t may safely be said that the evil
liam Wetmore Story and His Friends
by Henry James, justifies the highest
expectations. Aside from the skill with
which this biography is written, it con-
tains a wealth of correspondence, and
the selections from Browning's letters
to Story are in themselves of great val
lie.

ton whether the easier money market

The Southern Pacific quarrel weighed on
the market. The developments in this
controversy showed nothing TO affect d.
rectly the value of the securities con-
,cerned, but the bitterness of feeling
shown by the contending parties and the
boldness of their habitual methods n
stock market operations kept alive fear
that a speculative duel might be precipi-
tated in the market itself with probably
disastrous consequences TO many inre-
cent onlookers. Another disturbing factor
was the renewal of liquidation in Penn
sylvania carrying it back to last week S
low level. The selling received a re-
newed impetus from the February state
nent Of net earnings which showed the
expenses increased more than twice as
much as the increase in gross earnings
with a corresponding cut in the net re

are in consequence over 4 million dollars
less than for the same two months last
year Taken in connection with the Feb
ruary Union Pacific statement published
en- Tuesday showing a decrease in net
earnings OF s413,474 there is a disposition
tosurmise that the recent liquidation in
that stock may have been from other
than professional bear sources. The mild
ness of the demand for stocks for short
account and the little help given 10 any

the situation. There was good commits

July advanced gradually. A big export
business together with bullish European
advices reporting drouth In South Russia
and Roumania and the decreased stocks
in the northwest caused the better de-
mand. The report that the Argentine
shipments for the week would be smaller
was also a strens thening influence. After
