A NEW READING PUBLIC.

As a result of the rapid development of wealth and general but scanty educa- tioi. an immense reading public has sprung into being. They are not the least bit literary; they want to reda be- cause they know how, have found it a way of escape from being alone and dull, because they have the time to read and the money to buy reading matter. AS to the kind of reading, they don't anxiously consult the experts on that point. They read what appeals to them what they can grasp without labori- ous effort, what amuses, takes them out of the ruts of daily life, or makes that life more interesting. Men like to learn useful facts, to hear what is going on in the world, what has to do with their neighbors' business, to get in a nutshell in easy readable form, the result of scientific research, travel, and explora- tion, and to knw something of pop ular interest about famous people in various lines. Some women like these things, too, but more prefer to be ushered into a world where faculties in themselves to which their prosy lives give little play, may get sort of exer- else; their hunger for the romantic, the sentimental, and thrilling feeds upon novels and romances beyond number The Atlantic Monthly for March

IBsEN,s APPRENTICESHIP

If the French are determined to claim some share in the making of Ib- sen, they must shift their ground lit tie. He did not get his ideas from George Sand, but he got good deal of his stagescraft from Eugene Scribe, and the play-wrights of his school. Ideas he could not possibly get from Scribe, for the best of all reasons, but he can be proved to have been familiar at the outset of his career with the works of that great inventor and manipulator of situations, from whom, there can be little doubt, he acquired the rudiments of dramatic construction. He ultimate ly outgrew his teachers, even in tech- nical skill, and his later plays, from Ghosts" onward, show the influence of Scribe mainly in the careful avoidance of his methods Nevertheless, it was in the Scribe gymnasium, so to speak, that he trained himself for his subse- quent feats as a technician.-Wi William Archer, in The Fortnightly.

WINTER IN NEW ZEALAND.

|. The winters were short and delicious, except for an occasional week of wet weather which, however were always regarded by the sheep farmer as excel lent for filling up the creeks, making the grass grow and being everything that was natural and desirable. When it did not rain, the winter weather was simply enchanting, although one had to be prepared for it's sudden caprices, for weather is weather, even at the antipodes, and consequently unreliable.
 Sometimes we started on an ideally exquisite morning for a long ride on some station business. The. air would be still and delicious, fresh and ex- hilarating to degree hardly to be un- derstood the sun brilliant and just sufficiently warming. All would go we'll for four or five hours, until, per- haps, we had crossed a low saddle in the mountains and were coming home by the gorge of a river. In ten min utes everything might have changed. A sou 'wester would have sprung up as though let out of a bag, heavy drops of rain would be succeeded by snow furry, in which it was not always easy to find ones way home across swamps and over creeks, and the riders who
 set forth so gayly at 10 of the clock that some morning would return iii the fast gathering darkness wet to the skin, or, rather, frozen to the bone.

 not, an open air life The little wealth

 Wheat and corn were firmer with the general opinion favoring higher prices.
 Cotton after reacting 20 points rallied again and closed at about last nights closing figures. The bulls talk as con fidently as ever and predict for the summer months higher prices than we have yet seen. There is no doubt that all the lights before us tend to confirm their small crop estimates.
 We are gratif1ed to see the way the market has acted on the Northern Se- curities decision; we cannot, however, see anything in the immediate situation to make any permanent improvement in values and rather incline to sales or strong places. Total sales 476, 400 PRINCE & WHITELY. March IS.

ONE OF THE FEATURES
Of the Coming Concert by the Bosto
 Svmni1onv Orchestra.

 of the Coming Concert by the Boston
 Symphony Orchestra.
 One of the very interesting numbers on the programme that will be played by the Boston Symphony orchestra next Tuesday evening in Woolsey hall is the beautiful Von Weber overture to Der Freischutz" by Carl Maria von Weber, one of the great German composers who lived in the last part of the eighteenth century and the first part of the nine teenth century. The opera Der Frei- schutz," of the romantic type, was per formed first at Berlin, June IS, 1921. Weber write in his diary that 4'it was received by the public with incredible enthusiasm. fourteen out of the seven teen music pieces being stormily ap- plauded." The overture was played in concerts before the performance of the opera and everywhere received the warmest approval. The opera had an immediate success and was sung in all the capitals of Europe. At it's perform ance in London some years afterward a noted musical critic write: '"rhe music Of this opera is such a continued dis play of science, taste and melody as to justify any praises that may be be- slowed upon it." The overture embraces most of the subjects of the airs in the opera, ingeniously interwoven with each other and in a very original manner. The grandeur of some passages and the finely entrusted simplicity of others produce an irresistible effect. It has been aDtly said that the overture is a kaleidoscope series of tunes, 219 out of the 342 measures being taken from the opera itself Yet there is no apparent patchwork, so skillful is the blending.
