A japanese Shrine.

A romantic custom Of the Japanese
is described in the "Kokoro" Of Lafcadio
Hearn. 1t is narrated that those who
are anxious for the safety Of absent
ones repair to the mountain Of Dake-
yama to perform a singular rite. There
is shrine at the summit to commence
rate princess Of antiquity who daily
watched hopelessly until she pinned and
died, when her body was changed into
stone. One who looks with the eyes
Of believer still sees the princess on
Mount Dakeyama in the shape of a
perpendicular rock. Before her shrine
are heaps Of pebbles, and those who
ascend to pray for the safe home COM
ing Of one they love take pebble
away with them as a talisman. And
when at last reunited with the beloved,
another pilgrimage is made to the
shrine on Dakeyama to replace the
pebble, with handful of others, in de-
vOtiOnal gratitude.

SEQUELS TO STORIES.
AS q Rule They Are Not as Good as
the Earlier Books.


The question of sequels was under dis
cussion in literary gathering the 9TH
er day, and the consensus of opinion
was decidedly against them. 1t was
even roundly maintained that no Sc
quel had ever been a success from the
literary point Of view. Some one de-
INJURED and suggested Paradise Re-
gained but that suggestion, greeted
with a burst Of laughter, practically
determined the argument. Paradise
Regained" was a distinct falling off
from Paradise Lost" It might even
be declared dignifed, dismal failure
No; Millions sequel was no exception
to the rule
1t there be a rule, are there any ex-
ceptions that prove it? Stevenson's
"Catriona" was not up to the level Of
kidnapped" Mr.. Anthony Hope wrote
better book in ''The Prisoner of Zen
ola" than he did in Rupert of Hent-
zau." Wise authors never undertake
sequels. Once upon a time Mr.. Rider
Haggard was tempted to adventure a
sequel to "She," but repented at dis
erection. 1t is altogether a different
matter when successive books include
the same character. Thackeray used
that trick in "Pendenr.is" and "The
Newcomes," but in no sense is the lat
ter a sequel to the former. In a way
Thackeray's novels may be said to
constitute chain right down from
"Esmond." The links subsist, but
there is no continuity Of narrative
which defines sequel proper.
He who will may compare the re-
spective merits Of Zolas "L'Assom-
moir" and "Nana." There does not ap-
pear to be much to choose between
them, but undoubtedly the earlier book
has been more popular. Zola's habit,
as is we'll known, was to keep the same
families In his various treatises, for to
him they were specimens Of natural
history and nightly portentous. Con-
trast with lola our immortal Fielding,
who began one Of his novels by way Of
a parody Of Richardson. It would be
interesting to collect into one volume
the stories Of the masterpieces. In
what circumstances were the great
books Of the world written? Think of
Dumas pere and his firm Of assistants!

out his translation of Homer. That

Carlyle's View of MacauIay.

In one Of his letters Carlyle says of
Macaulay, the historian: 1--WE have had
Macaulay for two days. He was a
real acquisition while he lasted and
gave rise to much good talk, besides an
immense quantity of Indifferent, which
he himself executed-a man Of truly
wonderful historical memory, which he
has tried in really extensive reading
and has always lying ready, with this
or the other fact, date or anecdote on
demand; in other respects constantly
definable as the sublime Of common
place, not one Of whose ideas has the
least tincture of greatness or original
ity or any kind Of superior merit ex-
cept neatness of expression"

GIVES vIGoR TO THE SOIL.
Fertiiizing Germ Conveyed to the
Earth by the FaIIiru Leaves.

FertiIizing Germ Conveyed to the
Earth by the Falling Leaves.
Recent investigations indicate that
the chief source of the enrichment of
the soil, noted particularly in wooded
lands, is not altogether due to cor
servation of the moisture and the adj
dition to the soil of needed elements
by the decomposition of the fallen
leaves. Of probably greater import
ance is the fixation of atmospheric
nitrogen by dead forest leaves when
these rest on a moist substratum of
soil. In effect this phenomenon is
similar to that which is produced by
the tubercle growths on the roots of
legumes and allied plant families.
A similar observation has been
made in regard to the mountain pine,
which, if verified, will account for the
hardness of this tree and the ease
with which it maintains itself in soils
that contain comparatively few nutri-
ents. 1t has been found by the Da-
nish Heather Improvement Society,
which is interested in planting trees
on barren sandy stretches on the
western coast of Jutland, that spruce
and mountain pine, when planted to-
gether in pairs, mutually help each
other to thrive, the valuable nitrogen
fixing functions of the pine serving to
provide nourishment for both trees.
1t has been repeatedly observed that
where such trees are planted in prox-
unity on barren lands if the pine is
cut down while the spruce is still
young the latter will die or else make
sickly growth. On the contrary
curiously enough, if the pine is not
cut down until after the spruce gets
a good start, the latter will make bet
ter progress than if the pine had been
allowed to live.

Two Kinds of Justice.

In New Jersey last week three men,
guilty Of an atrocious crime, were
sentenced judiciaUy and landed in
prison with a dispatch that has
aroused general admiration through
out the country. Mob violence was
thereby prevented, and an outraged
community Gained and protected.
In Chicago last winter a whole
theater full Of people persisted on ac-
count of criminal negligence.
The protective laws of the city had
been violated. The facts have long
been generally known Yet no one
has been punished for the crime.
Several months ago in New York
building in process of construc-
ton collapsed. and number Of lives
were lost. There was criminal negli-
gence definitely placed. Yet no one
has been punished for that crime. An
inspector condemned by the coroner's
jury is still at work.
In New York only a few weeks ago
one thousand lives were sacrificed on
the steamer General SIocum to greed
and incompetency. There have been
various legal things done since then.
Criminal negligence has been shown
ia various particulars. Yet no one
has been punished for the crime. The
law hesitates in its action. The men
threatened by the law are merely
agents and not principals.
Is it worse that three negroes
should assault a woman than that a
group Of men united IN a company
should destroy one thousand lives?
New York and Chicago have some
thing to learn from New Jersey. In
sistent public sentiment caused quick
action in New Jersey, II can do the
same in New York and in Chicago if
and potently applied.

A Mosquito Plague.

Brooklyn is infested by mosquitoes.
and if anybody hears Of murders and
suicides in that peaceful burg before
frost time there viii be no cause for
surprise. The reason is said to be DO
litical Heretofore a vigorous war on
mosquitoes has been waged by Off
Gals of the Health Department. but
on account of a political grudge the
bills providing for this were this year
pigeOnhOled by Tammany influence.
and one mournful health official as
seTts that this lapse from vigilance
will undo the work of years.
If this is true. it is no joking mat
ter. There is reason to believe that
Americans as a people are waking I'D
TO the absurdity and evil Of placing
the population of a whole city at the
mercy Of a clique of politicians, not
only as regards matters that affect
their convenience and their pockets.
but in the far weightier affairs which
affect health and safety. When. as in
Philadelphia, political Wrangles pre-
vent the securing of pure water, for
want Of which the typhoid cases ap-
pear at the rate Of four hundred a
week; when life is made a burden by
swarms Of mosquitoes, which not
only irritate the temper but carry
disease, simply because Of political
