There was n man whose wife was taken

And then he knocked saucy coachman

He called the grocer's boy n fool and

Come French writer's have under
gSken 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 a 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. It is
proposed TO establish agencies in Eng
fish and American cities for the sale
OF the best French books.

Prof Albert A. Nicholson of the
University Of Chicago is the first
American man Of science-he was
born in Germany--to receive one of
the Nobel prizes. He came TO this
country at an early age, however, and
was brought up in San Francisco. He
was graduated from the United States
Naval academy in 1873 and served for
a time in the navy. Intending to retire
10 civil life, he studied in Germany
and France, and prepared himself for
work as a professor Of physics. The
Nobel prize, which amounts to about
$4,000, is conferred on him for his
invention Of an instrument for meas
uriDg the velocity Of light. On the
same day that the award to him was
announced the Royal society of Eng
land presented to him in London the
Copley medal for the same discovery,
and few months earlier a Belgian
prize Of $4,000 was awarded to him.
President Roosevelt is the only other
American-and he is Of Dutch descent
to receive the Nobel prize. 1t was
given TO him for his efforts in behalf
Of p9ace.

Snobbery.


An advertisement lately appeared
In the papers of Pittsburg announ-
cling that by the payment of a certain
liberal sum OF money limited num-
Der of persons of wealth and high so
cial position could secure the privi-
lege OF presentation at the English
court. The young man who inserted
the advertisement was arrested as a
swindler, in spite of his insistence
that he could do all he had promised;
bat the most interesting phase OF the
affair was the large number OF per-
sons who were eager to accept his
offer. They fiocked to the hotel In
such eagerness and were SO anxious
to be among the chosen that the pc.
lice had difficulty in getting them to
go home. To the outsider OF we'll
balanced mind there must always be
something amusing in such an exhibit
ton Of snobbery, says the Youths
Companion. Yet this was only one
form Of trait which exists in some
shape and to some degree in most per-
sons. The snobs who will pay to be
presented to court are separated by
no very clear line from those who
will pay to get their names into "a
Thousand Great Men, or 1.-THE Blue
bloods Of New York." and hundreds
OF others who hold themselves far
above such crude and overt enobbery
as this will nevertheless pay what is
virtually blackmail of one sort or an
ether to buy the social approval or
escape the social censure of their fell
lows. Snobbery of whatever kind is a
heel OF Achilles to the possessor. AL
though he may be covered with the
armor Of intelligence, good intentions
and experience he will still be vulner-
able through his vanity. None know
this better than the swindlers and
'bunco-steerers" who make their liv-
ing by it. They love the snob be-
cause they know that snobbery and
courage seldom go together
