AMERICAN POETS AND
 ENGLISH READERS.

What American poets are read by young Englishmen of the present gen eration2 Thomas Wentworth Higgin- son, in his recent life of Longfeliow, has shown that the singer of Gam bridge is extraordinarily popular in England, and recent British maga- zine has set forth the reasons for LOW elps popularity among The noncon- forInists.
 New light on this matter Is shed by the returns Of piebiscite recently taken by William J. Dawson who has analysed 131 communications out of 15O received from readers of his de- partment in all English journal made especially for young men. He has been agreeably surprised to find a ma jority of his correspondents express, ing their devotion to poetry as such, and their habit of reading it. Some of the most striking illustrations of the range of reading MT Dawson received from busy business men, This corre- spondence shows that Tennyson is holding his own, having ninety out of one hundred and twenty-five read- CTS, Shakespeare following with sew enty-6ye. Longfallow with sixty-five. Burns and Scott with f0rty-one each, and Browning with thirty-five.
 Of the American poets. Whittier and Lowell rank next to IsongfelloW. with thirty-one and twenty-three votes respectively, while Emerson and Whitman have only five votes and Oliver Wendell Holmes but one vote.
 The small votes for Morris, Rossetti. Swinbrrne and others of the pre- raphaelite school Is surprising: Kip ling, also, has few readers.

LINCOLN RELICS
Notable Collection at Washington to
 be Bought by the Government

The Oldroyd collection of relics of Abraham Lincoln, which is to be bought by the United States government, and which is eventually to form the nucleus of great Lincoln memorial and mu- scum to be established in Washington, may be exhibited at the Worlds Fair.
 When Governor Savers, of Texas, was a member of Congress he pushed bill through that body appropriating $25,OOO for the purchase of the house ill which Lincoln died. He was pre- pairing to introduce second bill pur- coin souvenirs for $25, ,O00 when he was elected governor of Texas. .,-t
 MT. Oldroyd has refused several of fers of $25,OOQ from individuals for the collection, feeling that the govern ment should own these invaluable rel les. Three influential members of Congress have recently revived the matter of buying the relics and it is expected that the proposition will be advanced by the time the Worlds Fair opens that they may be display ed to all visitors.
 Among the thousands of interesting articles in the collection are books and miscellaneous articles once the prop erty of MT Lincoln; autograph letters, documents and pictures, illustrating his .Journey from Springfield to be iIl- augtrated president in 1861: pictures Illustrating tne assassination and fu- neral of the president. The collection contains photographs and authentic relies of Booth, the presidents assas- sin. There is q black-locust rail split by Lincoln in 1890: the chair used by him in his law office at Springfield, and ln which he sat when he formed his first cabinet and drafted his first inaugural address before he left for Washington
 The collection is now stored in the old house at 516 Tenth street, in Washington, opposite the building that was Ford's theater. In q small room at the end of the hall in this old house, Abraham Lincoln braathed his last on the night of April 14, 1865. Photographic views of the house, and of the room in which the president died, will be comprised in the collec- -tion.

 There has been q surprisingly good demand for bonds, and many of the recent new issues have been readily taken, says Henry Glews in his last letter. Our railroads, show q, dispo- sition to go slow in theiE move dents, owing chiefly to the unsettled condi- ton of the iron and steel markets. AS steel comes down. however, to a more normal level orders are likely to in crease and the railroads will no doubt continue their outlays. At a later period, therefore, it wolId cause no surprise if their demafads tEoon the money market were to expand. The effect of war would unquestionably be temporarily. because of the strain which any new war loans would i'm pose upon the international money markets. Ametiaan,. shares 9n com. mon with others would be sold7to pro- vide funds. The decline, however, would not be serious, and might as us- uaI be discounted in advance. Just now the presidential campaign does not cut much of a figure. .A This is probably explained by the belief that a revival of the issues Of the last two campaigns is impossible, and that in comparison with them it will be a quiet affair. ,s. .re -4

Mr. Yerkes's First Deal i'm Soap

Charles T. Yerkes, who is now busy supplying London with an adequate rapid-transit system began his bust- ness career with successful specula- ton that did not involve the outlay of 8 dollar. It was Saturday afternoon and he was strolling along q wharf in Philadelphia, when he came to a store where an auction sale was in progress.
 How much am I offered for lnis box of soapT asked the auctioneer.
 The 13-year-old boy looked at the brand and saw that if was the same soap as that used in his home. He knew what his mother paid for it at retail, and so he made a bid. The que tioneer smiled at him cried the bid once, and said: "Sold to-what's your name, bub?"
 Charley Yerkes.'s ,-sassstts,-- "
 Sold to Charley Yerkeso for ar-4.' E-1
 Then another box was put np and bid in by the boy, and this continued until fifty boxes had been struck off to him. He. had q deposit of $5 in a savings bank, which had been there for some months. He showed the auc- tioneer his certificate of deposit. and said he would soon return and pay for the soap. ss- ssaaa =: sss., ...,ss.
 He went to the grocer with whom hiS family traded, and asked nm II he wanted to buy some soap The grocer asked how much he had and what it was worth. The lad replied that he had fifty boxes, and that he would sell the lot for q certain sum, naming an amount double that which the soap cost him a | tstheqauetlon house. The deal was closed, and then the storekeeper asked the lad how he had come by it. When young Yerkes told him the man opened his eyes and said: T had intended to go to that auction, but forgot it." Ihe boy did not draw his 8 from the bank. and thereafter it was his great pride to add to it, lit Is surprising" said he. not long ago, ill telling the story of his first money making effort.

HOW CRIMINALS AN
 DUMPED IN THE U. $.

Now, ali of this goes to prove one of the most important facts in connec- tion with Italian einigration: that the question of each district is slow. ly and effectually clearing the district of its criminal class by dumping the lot into North and South America, the most dangerous coming to the United States as the best field for their fl- ture operations. 5''
 Here is the syliogism
 Since the American police records and prison statistics. especially those of the United statas secret service, show large and increasing numbers of Italian criminals in this country:
 ApI since the mass of these can enter only by immigration:
 And since the emigrant must have . passport from the chief of the local police district:
 And since every criminal record is kept in the district in which he was born and he must go there to get the birth certificate on which he gets his passport: " '1' e A N.-~ " -- -a1 11<- 7 ~---
 Then these thousands Of passports issued annually to criminals are given by chiefs of police who know the records of the men who are receiving them and are thus deliberately ridding their districts of them to save them selves trouble and increase their rep utation for efficiency.
 N That those secret instructions which are issued from Rome to the chief of each district advise any such proceed 1lre I do not believe. They do advise, so I have been reliably informed, that passports be not issued to prostitutes easy of detection or to persons over Al not accompanied by sons, inasnanen as both classes are very nearly sure to be turned back and to become q matter of expense to the government, That is the bugaboo of Italian states men. expense.-Leslie's Monthly.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 5. 1904.

. The case of Policeman Sullivan, who has been dismissed from the Wa terbury force for defective eyesight, Is exciting sympathy for him in the community. He has family of ten children. his wife has been ill for some time past and it was only a short time ago that he put what mon- ey he had saved into house--Hart- ford Times. .g
 And not word of complaint has ever been made against him, or if there has the public has not been made aware of it. It looks as though Officer Sullivan has been unjustly discriminated against, but by whom or for what purpose seems to be shroudsd in mystery just at present.

Where Good Breeding is Shown

Every daughter Of Eve-or at least every one who belongs to that branch of her family that eventually became Ame1ican---is fond of pretty clothes, as an adjunct ill the furtherance of the natural desire to please, an iu- stinct implanted by beneficent erea- tor--but not every girl knows that hes breeding is shown in her clothes, and that fine ones do not make a lady nor impose upon anyone by making her appear to be one.
 Cheap finery not only berrays pov- erty, which it is unnecessary to con- fida to the world at large, which re- gards it most Unsympathetically, and not only proclaims ignorance of good taste, but also lays girl open to misconception and possible identifica- tion with .ue least worthy of her sex. We are not all amenable to sugges- tions for our good; and, when our de- sires clash with our sense of ought ness" it depends upon the quality Of our makeup which shall prevail. An other evidence of gentle breeding is q well modulated voice. Thomas Went worth IIigginson said: Shut me up in dark room with mixed multitude and I can pick out tue gentlefolk by their Voices.''
 In the compass of every voice there are three Peglsters--the middle or throat, the lower or chest, and the upper. or head register. Tho use or the middle pitch for talking Is very desirable, but the voice should De trained to slide tp and down, varying with the emotions; low. when the mind inclines toward seriousness, and higher when it becames tinged with excitement. An interesting speaker constantly changes his pitch, not ab- ruptIy, but with ease and skill, and the greater range one has the more certain he is to, get and retain the pleased attention of listeners. Our hlgh- h-pitched, strident voices are sharp ly criticised. and it is quite within our power to change them.
 confess to liking q bit of slang now and then from a young mans mouth. It sounds racv. adds snap and spice if used judiciously, and a few Of its terms are pithy and expressive, but when girl uses slang 1t only sounds common What is becoming to one sex Is not necessarily 50 to the other.
 When We see woman who laughs and talks loudly in public places, we put a severe strain upon our charity and tudsment not to think her vrl- gar. When to the conventions "MOw do you do?'' she replies, "Finel'' we know on just what rung of the social ladder to put her.--Mrs Burton Kim hau In Success ~s-,.

If any reader is conscious Of sui" fering now from the strain of his work and would like to get relief, the first thing to do Is to notice that it is less the work that tires him than his way of doing it, and the attitude of his mind toward it, says a magazine writer. Beginning with that conyic- tion. there comes first an interest in the process of dropping strain and then new interest in the work itself, and healthy concentration in doing the merest drudgery as well AS it can be done, makes the drudgery attrac tive and relieves one from the oppres- sive fatigueof uninteresting monotony. If you have to move your whole body in your daily work, the first care should be to move the feet and legs weighed ton, and each hand also; and while you work take long, quiet breaths-breaths such as you see a man taking when he is very quietly and soundly sleepdngS If the work is sede1ltary, it Is a help before start ing in the morning to drop your head forward very loosely. slowly and heavily, and raise 1t very slowly, then take long, quiet breath, Repeat this several times until ,yeu begin to feel 6 sense of weight in your head. If there is not time in the morning, do it at night ana recall the feeling while you are dressing or while you are going to work. and then, during your work, stop occasionally just to feel your head heavy and then go on. Very soon you become sensitive to the tension in the back of your neck and drop it without stopping work at all. Long, quiet breaths while you work are always helpful. If you are working in bad air, and cannot change the air. it is better to try to have the breatts only quiet and gentle, and take, long full breaths whenever you arc out of doors and before going to sleep at night
