The Reader Who Skips.

A good work of fiction. whether in prose or in verse-we are here speak, ing only of good works-ts a work Of art and can be rightly enjoyed only by entering into sympathy with the art ist's mind and accepting his work ac- cording to his intention. In perfect poem the place of every word, in per feet novel the place, if not of every word. of every episode and of every paragraph. is important, and the reader who skips throws away the pleasure he has meant to derive from the har- mony of composition, in which very possibly the beauty of the whole may chiefly consist. and despises the best part of the artists labor. He might as we'll go to see good play and then willfully miss every alternate scene.- EXch0nQe

A Literary Curiosity.

Some years ago T Paris newspfre. ordered a story of adventure from q we'll known novelist. The price agreed upon was 1 franc q line. The novelist straightway hunted up an old man of letters-the unknown coliabOrator of many more famous authors who agreed to write the story for 2J cen times line When the work had reached its second part in the course of publication the novelist learned that his old client Was seriously ill Hasten- ing to his bedside. he found him dFilIG. In agony for the fate of his story. tie novelist rushed to the office of the newspaper, got hold of some bacl, numbers in order to pick up thn threads of the romance and brought it to speedy end in few brief chapters. Then he went to the office with the manuscript.
 "What's tlrt?" asked the editor.
 ''Why, the continuation and end Of my story"
 "Oh, then, you want to change it. suppose, because, you know, you seI!t in the last chapters three days ago"
 Admirable self possession on tb. part of the novelist prevented disaster and he finally found this explanation The old man, whose price was p cen times line had himself sublet his task to q third writer at 10 centia4eS and thus the work had been finished in Safety

Atmosphsrio Temperature.

The temperature of the atmosphere cools on an average about degree for every 300 feet that we ascend or warns at the same rate as we descend. The mean temperature at the north pole is 0 and at the equator between 90 and 90 degrees. We can, therefore, get into a temperature degree colder for every seventy or eighty miles that we travel north and in a temperature 1 degree warmer for every seventy or eighty miles that we travel south.

WOMAN SLAIN BY A ROBBER.
Chicago kindergarten Principal Found
Clicked to Death.

Chicago, Sept. 21.-Mrs. Lillian
White Grant, 40 years old, a widow,
well known in Hyde Park and princi-
pal of a kindergarten, conducted in
the building of the University Congre-
gational church, was found murdered
in her room at $500 Madison avenue.
Friday.
Every article of jewelry owned by
Mrs. Grant was missing and it is
believed robbery was the object of
the murderer. Her body was found ly-
ing across the bed dressed only in
night clothing. One of her own gar
ments was twisted tightly about her
neck and knotted under her left ear.
Death had been caused by strangula-
ton or a broken neck.
The imprints of the fingers of the
woman's assailant were found on her
neck, which was broken by the muir
derer. A colored man who had been
assisting Mrs. Grant in preparing to
move is being sought by the police.

How determined the world is becom.
Ing to put an end to food adulteration
is shown in many ways. The passage
of the pure food bill by the British
house of commons is especially sig
nificant. England is a conservative
country, and it takes a long time to
stir up the people to the point where
they demand action looking to inter
ference with old established cdstoms.
But food adulteration is so prevalent
and affects directly or indirectly so
many subjects of the king that the
necessity of putting an end to it is
impressed on the popular mind. Par
lament, responding to this sentiment,
has passed an act which recalls the
legislation in this country on the same
subject. The fight against that form
OF rascality which consists of fraud
in food goes merrily on and should re.
suit in great reform.

Courage.


One Of the most unhappy, but at the
ZANE time impressive, sights ever
witnessed at the headquarters of the
New York police department took
place there recently, when patrol
man was discharged from the service
because of cowardice. In the pres
ence of his brother officers his badge
was unpinned from his breast and the
buttons cut from his uniform. No
such thing had happened before for
more than 80 years. 1t is curious
trait in human nature that physical
courage, the virtue which Is most
cherished and most extolled, should
be at the same time perhaps the COM
monest. The great popularity of the
soldier and the military hero is due
almost entirely to the fact that origin
ally it was the soldier especially who
was obliged to exercise physical cour.
age. 1t is not improbable that the
lessening tendency to make heroes of
ooiOiSAo uClSly USCduSS luSy dIS SUI
diers is due to a growing perception
that many other occupations call for
and produce men who do quite as
daring deeds in circumstances far less
favorable to gallantry. 1t would be
an exceedingly interesting thing II
one could trace the influence of news
papers and other periodicals on the
prevalence of physical courage. There
can be no doubt, says Youths Com
panion, that the influence is consider
able. Nothing is seized more eagerly
by the reporters than stories of "hero-
dsm," and not much is read with great.
er interest by the people. In days,
then, when every man is a hero who
stops runaway horse or pulls little
boy out of brook, it must be that
the popular imagination is very con-
siderably stimulated and the mind
stirred to emulation by the newspaper
reports.

HostiIities at an End-Features of the
Agreement Made Between Gen.
Drude and Nineteen Caids of the
Morocco Natives.

Paris, Sept 24.-Peace has been de-
clared in Morocco. The delegates of
three important tribes have accepted
the French peace overtures and will
see that the terms of the agreement
are carried out. Hostilities are now
at an end
The government Monday evening
received with great satisfaction dis
patch from Rear Admiral Philibert,
commander of the French naval forces
in Moroccan waters, saying that as a
result of the conference Monday at
Gen. Drude's headquarters, between
the French naval and military COM
manders and 10 caids, representing
the Ouleseeyan, Zenata and Zyaida
tribes, the three tribes have accepted
Internationally the peace terms Of
fered by France.
Terms That Are Accepted.
These terms are as follows: Hos
tilities shall cease at once; Gen.
Drude may make military reconnais-
sances throughout the territory of the
three tribes to satisfy himself that the
pacification is complete; the tribes
engage themselves to dispense and
chastise all armed bodies that may
assemble in their territory with hos
tile intent; every native found in the
possession of arms or munitions of
shall be handed over to the sheridan
authorities, condemned to imprison-
ment and fined 5000; the tribes shall
be held responsible for the carrying
out of the previous stipulation; every
native detected in smuggling or using
arms shall be punished; the delegates
of the tribes undertake to surrender
the authors of the outrages upon,
Europeans Of July 80 and, pending
judgment, their goods shall be seized
and sold irrespective of the indemnity
which is to be paid, the amount Of
which be fixed by the Moroccan gov
eminent; the Casablanca tribes shall
pay large indemnity, the part of
each tribe to be apportioned according
to the length of time 1t resisted the
French. In addition, the Chaoula
tribes shall pay contribution toward
the harbor works at Casablanca.
To secure the carrying out of this
convention, two notables of each tribe
shall be given up as hostages. The
delegates of the Ouleseeyan, Zenata
and Zyiada tribes Immediately named
their hostages and signed the capitu-
lation.
Credit Mainly Due to France.
The campaign which France has
Just brought to a successful close in
Morocco was started early in August
under the mandate given to both
France and Spain by the Algeciras
agreement to maintain proper police
regulations in the sea ports of Mo-
rocco. The direct cause of the move
ment was the murder July 80 Of seven
Europeans at Casablanca. France and
Spain acted with the consent of the
powers, and no power interfered with
their operations, although at one time
Germany gave evidence that she
viewed the landing of a numerous
French force in Morocco with appre-
hension, not to say, distrust.
Spain took but minor part in the
campaign. but the major share of the
credit for putting down the turbulent
Arab tribesmen undoubtedly is
Frances.
