WOMAN AND LITERATURE.

There is at least difference of opin- ion in regard to the alleged distaste of women for severe and systematic reading. One critic in The National ure nor on principle do they study books which would cultivate their minds and give them broad and stable views of life Another makes the com forting statement that the good, or. as they are called, the 'solid'' books taken by women from English circulating li- braries are in the proportion of two to five-a very creditable average, M, Ernest Quentin Bauchart has shown us, in Les Femmes Bibliopiles," that many rare and bautiful volumes were for two centuries collected and treas ured by French ladies, from Margaret of Valois to Marie Antoinette. How far the pleasures of a collector merge into the pleasures of a student is al- ways a delicate point to decide but MT Andrew Lang is of the opinion that some of these ladies loved their libra ries, even to the reading point. Books and art", he says with happy tolerance. were probably more to Mime. de Pomp- padour's liking than the diversions by which she beguiled the tedium of Louis XIV; and many a time she would rather have been quiet with her plays and novels than engaged in conscientiously conducted but distasteful revels." La Duchesse de Montpensier--"L Grande Mademoiselle"-like only serious and scholarly books. The frivolous ones, she used to say, wearied and plagued her. La Grande Mademoiselle was by no means the wisest of women; but the choice does credit to her taste for amusement. The romances of her age were a shade less diverting than ma- thematics Agnes Repplier, in Harper's Bazaar.

SEN. BURTON SENTENCED
SIX MONTHS IN PRISON AND
 $a,5OO FINE.
Motion for New Trial Osnisd-Jadss Cali. Attention to ths Lesson Com veyed by the TrInI.

St. Louis. April 6.-Senator J. R. Bur six months imprisonment in jail and to pay a fine of S2.5OO for using his infiu- ence before the postoffice department in behalf of the Rialto Grain and Secur- ities company of St. Louis. and for hav- ing received payment from the com pany for his services.
 When Senator Burton, accompanied by his attorney, came into the United States District court, Judge Adams spoke of the motion that had been filed for new trial and for arrest of judg- ment. The court, after briefly review ing the motions, overruled them both. The court then said to the defendant:
 Have you anything to say as to why sentence should not be passed upon you?"
 Evidently expressing his emotions with strong effort, Senator Burton stood leaning with both hands on a chair back, as he said:
 Your honor will please allow me re- spectfully to decline to say anything .'
 The courtroom was almost empty with the exception of a few persons who had remained out of curiousity, and the silence was oppressive, as Judge Adams, in low tone, began de- livery of the sentence. He said
 After fair and impartial trial by q jury of exceptional intelligence you have been found guilty of the offense charged in the indictment against you. "A motion for new trial in your be- half has afforded me an opportunity to carefully review and consider the evl- dence. As a result of this I aEi satis- fled that the jury reached the Just and true result. The evidence a5undaut.y warranted their verdict, and I find no reason, either in the law governing the case or in the proceedings attending the trial for disturbing it.
 Your conviction necessarily results in your punishment. Its importance in my opinion, is not confined to it's effect upon you. Your exalted station in life and the character of your offense give unusual significance to your conviction. It demonstrates that the law of the land is equal to any emergency and that it can be administered regardless VI SAN P(l 9Oli<lllly diiQ StdLlOll Ol tatE accused. It also demonstrates to all the people that public office cannot be pros tituted to self-serving purposes and that public office Is not sure or safe passport to private thrift.
 ''The humiliation attending your con- viction and the statutory disqualifica- tion resulting therefrom which for ever incapacitates you from holding any of flee of honor, trust. or profit under the government of the United States. are in themselves heavy punishment for your offenses, and leave but little in the way of severity which could be added 1t is neither my pleasure nor purpose to impose any unnecessary punishment l think the majesty of the law will be sufficiently vindicated and the public welfare sufficiently safeguarded by im- posing a single sentence, warranted as it is, on any one of the six counts of the indictment on which you were con- victed- This sentence will be that you be confined in the Iron County jail for a period of six months, and that you pay fine of $2,5OO'
