Franklin's paper the statesman., 1908-03-20

Some French writers have under
taken unitedly to show to the world
that their national literature is not
truly represented by the coarse and
indecent novels that are supposed by
many persons to be the most charac-
teristic production Of literary France.
Not only is it not true, remarks the
Youths Companion, but the picture Of
French life drawn from these novels
is grossly unjust. There are hundreds
of French novels written every year
that are as sweet and wholesome as
anything England or America can
show; and anyone who desires true
representation of French family life
may find it in Prof Barrett Wendell's
recent book. Moreover, the study OF
art, history, science and many other
branches is pursued in France by COM
petent and painstaking writer's. 1t is
proposed to establish agencies in Eng
lish and American cities for the sale
Of the best French books.

Your Duty to Others.

We must all realize that this life h
full of sorrow, and II you personally
have had the good luck to escape your
share of 1t you are very fortunate
person. But do not, on that account,
allow yourself to grow cold-hearted
and unsympathetic to others. Those
poor others! Their lot is often so hard
so lonely-so full of misery. We
are here to heal the wounds and
bind the broken-heart;" and the only
way we can do this is by being kind,
loving and sympathetic. A few words
of love will do more to help a sufferer
than money sometimes, says the New
York Weekly. For heart sickness is
much harder to help than hunger and
poverty. Show interest in others; try
to help them; go out Of your way to
tighten the burden of the heavily
laden. Do not hesitate to whisper
your kindly thoughts in their ears
Don't pass by on the "other side;' II
you are strong, then be merciful. Re-
member that we all look at life from
a different standpoint, and what might
appear like grain Of mustard seed
In your path to you is an almost IN
surmountable obstacle to your weaker
sister. The more she shrinks the
more necessity for you to step in and
help her on her way with genuine
sympathy and loving sisterly words
and acts.

St. Petersburg, Sept. 25.-Not oniy has the number of cases of Asiatie cholera in this city increased Weunes' day, but the disease has invaded tle aristocratic precincts of St. Peters burg. It has even reached the Wintel palace in which extensive prepar@ tions are going on in the expectation that the emperor and empress VIII spend part of the coming season III the capital. Other cases nave peer. discovered in the palace of Grand Duke Nicholas Nicholaieyitcb, the Tauride palace and the palace oi Prince Alexander oldenburg, cousin of the emperor, and in the imperiai opera house.
 A number of diplomats and proml' nent society people have hurried tneir departure abroad, but the exodus mas been checked to a considerable extent by the prospect of being held in quar- antine at the frontier.
 That a panic prevails among certain classes is illustrated by the fact that many well-to-do people have ordered their newspapers discontinued during the epidemic. A grand duchess re- siding abroad, who is one of these ex- plained that she feared contagion through the mails,
 Tn order to test the efficacy or vaccination in cholera cases seyerai graduate students of St. Petersburg university voluntarily permitted them selves to be vaccinated after which they drank solution containing chol- era germs.
