STUDY OF A GREAT POET
SECOND PAPER ON LORD BYRON
Dr.. kingsbury on Byron's Letters. His Intense Per-
sonality, Unrivalled Vitality, Honleric
Vigor, Marvellous Genius,

highest expressions OF contempt, objur-
CATION, onslaught and Infurlated dislike
that belong to English literature. The
revilment and hootings be received from
home but aroused his anger, and set
in furious motion his flood Of tempestL-
Gus ridicule and avalanches OF sarcasm
and disgust.
l referred to the marvellous power and
popularity he had IN Europe. To the read
ers OF this time this fact Is not well
known. 1t IS certainly true that his IN
tense personality, his unrIyalled vitality,
his Homeric vigor, his marvellous genius
had affected European writers oil parts a.
no other modern had affected them. Mr..
Henley sees this with MS obscryant, APP
prehensive eye, and writes that Byron's
voice and genius had been recognized as
the most human and the least lnsular
raised on English ground since Shakes
peare's." He says: In Russia he had
created Pushkin and Lermonto1; IN
Germany he had awakened Heinc, inspired
~Schumann, and been saluted as an equal
by the poet OF Faust (GoetheD himself
in Spain he had a share IN moulding the
noisy and unequal talent of Espronceda;
in Italy he had helped to develop and 10
shape the melancholy and daring genius
of Leopard; and in France he had been
one Of the presiding forces OF Il great
aesthetic revolution. To the men of 1880,
he was a special and peculiar hero" 1t
appears that most Of the greater writers
Of France shared in the Byronic taste and
irfuence-Hugo, Musset, Berlioz, Della
croi1, and possibly others, were fascinated,
and injected with the Byronic enthusiasm
and life and strength. His great lntlu-
encc is recognized by Tame and AiaZzInI.
The latter cauteTized the English Tor their
neglect of their great poet, and wrote OF
their "scandalous forgetfulneas OF the i'm
mense work lone by him IN giving a
European role to English Etera-
ture and awakening all over the CONT
nent so much appreciation and sympathy
for England'.' l quote from Henley. 1t
is really curious that SWinburne, who so
scorned and derided Byron, should have
admitted later that in him after all there
is Enthusiastically a splendid and imperish-
able excellence Of sincerity and strength"
Matthew Arnold, a superior poet and a
critic Of the highest rank In English lit
tcrature, possibly only second to Saintc
Rcauve in his day, the unrivalcd French
critic, was a steadfast, most earnest adj
mirer of Wordsworth. After Dantes,
Shakespeare. Moliere. Milton and Goethe,
Arnold declared he did not know where
else, among the moderns, we are TO find
his supcriors.' Without stopping TO cx-
press wonder at the great company, the
larger and more splendid luminaries III

THE Alaskan boundary commission
has reached an agreement and America
has won in all the essential points. The
Americans agreed to start their boun-
Diary line from the head of the Portland
canal, thus giving the Canadians that
channel and some small islands. Brit
ish schemes do not work in this coun-
try. 1t has been its custom from time
immemorial, when rich minerals have
been found ON land close to the bound
aries of any Of their possessions, to at
once take possession, on some pretext,
and if there was any opposition to use
force. With the United States this kind
of bluff will be called every time, and
they know it. There was absolutely no
reason for the present controversy. 1t
was only fight, put up by the British
with everything to gain and nothing to
lose.

Doctors nnd Rearhs.

Doctors have very much less latitude
In the matter of facial decoration than
men Of any other profession because it
seems to be taken as a settled fact that
they must wear only boards.
81 happen to have a great many doc
tors under my care" said the barber
whose name is known to more New
Workers than any other, land ali of
them excepting two wear boards. These
two are both over 80. and they allow
themselves the luxury of gray mus
taches. Most of the others are men
between 80 and 40, and l don't believe
there is one of them who wears beard
from choice. Some of them would very
much like to be smooth faced, while
others look with envy at the men able
say that professional reasons compel
them to wear boards.
"Youthfulness in a doctor seems to
be more of a disadvantage than in any
other profession. One hears a great
deal of gray haired men having to dye
their hair and mustache if they want
to find work, but it is just as true that
men are compelled to adopt some de-
vice to make them look older when
youthfulness is a disadvantage. For
that reason all my doctor clients have
to wear boards whether these are be-
coming to them or not."-New York
Sun.

Bits of Philosophy Cleaned From
PHILOSOPHERS.


Outward stimulus is all in vain with
out the inward energy that reacts and
receives and assimilates.n
THE pupil may present himself to
the professor like block of marble to
be chiseled into form, or he may be like
q tree which pruning and culture shall
quicken into healthier and more Wig
orous growth"
Teachers, like rescuers of the freez-
ing, must force their pupils into self
exertion if they would save them.'
Some teachers have marvellous fac
ulty otrepressing rather than educating
the power of their pupils"
"Some men have all the form, but
none of the power, of well trained men.
They are made men, who have been
spoiled in the making"
'Docility is prime quality in every
good student, but docility and passivity
are not identical. Reeeptivity with pow
er to assimilate what is required, and
multiply it, is far better"
THE road of the nobodies is already
entered upon when student will let
other people do his hard work for
him."

sharp sentinel. ON Deck.

A wise man will take the weapon at
his hand even if it is not the conyen-
tional one. So thought Captain Slo-
cum, who, on his sloop, the Spray,
made voyage alone around the world
and met many good friends and singu-
lar enemies. This is mis- description of
one comic happening which might have
ended in tragedy. He says:
discovered, as she sailed along
through labyrinth of islands, that she
was in the Cockburn channel, which
leads into the strait of Magellan at a
point opposite Cape Froward, and that
she was passing Thieves bay, sug-
gestively named. That night she lay
at anchor in snug cove at the Turn.
l now became jaded and worn from
my previous battling with danger and
rough weather, and as drowsiness
came on | sprinkled the deck with
tacks, for it is well known that one
cannot step on a tack without saying
something about it. A pretty good
Christian will whistle when he meets
the commercial end of a carpet tack;
savage will howl and Cav the air.
That was just what happened that
night at II o'clock when the savages
thought they had me, sloop and all,
until they stepped on deck. Then they
learned that l had them.
They howled like a pack of hounds
and jumped pellmell, some into their
canoes, others into the sea to cool off.
| fired several guns when | came on
deck to let the rascals know that /
was at home, and then l turned in
again, feeling sure should not be dis
turbed by people who left in so great
4 hurry.
The Fuegians, being cruel, are natu.
rally towards and regard a rife with
superstitious fear. The only danger
from their quarter would be in allow
ing them to surround one within bow
shot or to anchor within range, where
they might lie in ambush.

less absolutely necessary, and that
should be only because of sickness.

CHAMBERLAIN'S COUGH

No one who is acquainted with its
good qualities can be surprised at the
great popularity of Cham erlain's
Cough Remedy. 1t not only cures colds
and grip effectually and permanently
but prevents these diseases frol result
ing in pneumonia 1t is also a certain
cure for Group. Whooping cough is
not dangerous when this remedy is
given. 1t contains no opium or other
harmful substance and may be given as
confidently to baby as to an adult.

INDIAN SUM M Err

People often express curiosity regard
ing the name by which the sunny days
of November are known. Why should
Indian be used as a qualifying word ?
Parenthetically, it may be said that
what is called Indian summer is not
the season. 1t is not the dreamy days
of September or October, nor has it
calendar limitation. 1t is that portion
OF the fall when pleasant sunshiny days
follow cold and stormy period which
is reminder of winter. 1t may come
in October, most likely in November
sometimes in December, and may not
come at all.
1t derives its name from lndiar sioth
1t is well known that the Indians indus
try comes from necessity. He does not
hunt until hunger prompts him, and
never does today what can be put off
until tomorrow. So it was in gathering
his corn While the weather remained
pleasant he postponed the work. When
he had reminder of winter in a few
stormy and disagreeable days, he utilized
the warm sunshiny days which gen.
orally follow, in gathering his harvest
The white settlers named the period the
Indians summer. 1t would more ap-
propriately be named the Indians
harvest.-John Nagle's Philosophy.
