Physical side of Literature.

Apropos of the sadly early death OF
M. CASTOR Larroumet, a French con-
temporary raises the question whether
there is anything in the nature of liter
airy pursuits that makes against long
evity. The answer is, Of course, that
essentially there is nothing, but that
accidentally there may be a great deal.
That the actual worry of composition
wears out the frame prematurely is
more than the facts warrant anyone
In saying. In every age and in every
country literature has been well rep
resented by hale and hearty veterans
Legouve, Mommsen, Tolstoi, Tenny-
son, Whittier, Oliver Wendell Holmes
and George Meredith are the most OBJ
vious names on list that every read
er will be able to supplement. So
long as 1t is possible to compile such
list without even stopping to think
the most bitter enemies of literature
can hardly class 1t with unhealthy
trades. Poets. dramatists and novel
lists seem on the average to live longer
than millionaires. and insurance
Offices have no reason to refuse their
