Of "signs" to tell whether the wedding
Of "signs' to tell whether the wedding
day Is "lucky," but brave young wom-
an can wrestle with adverse omens and
get the better Of all. When an English
girl arrived at the church in which she
was to be married she found 1t on fire,
with four engines deluglng 1t. The
firemen said she could not go in; yet
In she went, by way of the vestry: and
although the flames were sweeping up
from the other end and smoke and
sparks were In the air, she held her
party steadfast until the ceremony was
concluded. The church was destroyed
but If this marriage fails 1t will not be
because the young matron lacks courage
and determination.

recently, but none the less completely,

the gulf stream; gone is the sea SER
pent and his kith and kin. Indeed, we
are not sure but that the very kindly

rest Of it. Life on the ocean wave is
intensely matter Of fact nowadays. All
the glamour, the weirdness, the danger

public which demands It's Dickens,
its Thackeray, or its Scott condensed
to the limits of a newspaper page,
which reads its Shakespeare largely
through the medium Of Lambs "Tales,"
and to which Lamb himself is caviare,
can hardly be expected to express more
than languid interest in the passing
from the world of letters of Donald
Grant Mitchell. But we venture to ex-
press the thought that there are still
a number of old fashioned curmudgeons,
not partial to predigested literature,
who, IL they have not Of late years re-
newed their acquaintance with this
most genial of American writer's, yet
remember with keen pleasure his work
in past generations and who accord to
him place in national literature
which, If not the highest, is certainly
one of the most honored and beloved
In his long life Of more than four score
years he saw Sydney Smiths question
who reads an American bOok?" an
swered, and he himself contributed sub
stantially to that answer. He saw the
rise to fame of the greatest stars Of
the English literary armament of the
nineteenth century and beheld them set
again, some of them in imperishabe
grandeur. He saw letters In his
own land emerge from their crudest
expression and develop until Ameri-
can scholarship began to be the
boast, not the butt, of English re-
viewers. And in this evolution of
literature he himself has played no
inconsplcuous part. He belonged, to
| the end, to the school which had its
greatest popularity before the civil war.
The writer's of that day were of the
leisurely class. They wrote without
haste for public which, while alert,
yet was not In hurry. Mr.. Mitchell
moved, a distinguished figure, among
such men and women as Willis, Morris,
Tuckerman, Margaret Fuller, Miss
Sedgwlck, Stedman, Stoddard, Mrs.
Stowe George William Curtis. Whit
man, O'Connor, Fitz Greene Halleck,
and Drake. His was the day of the
essay, the descriptive article, the
didactic poem, when men were not
afraid Of fine writing" when the opera
was an event for lovers of music and
not fashionable function, when the
public was not deferred from reading q
good book because it was trife long
a public which did not turn from a
poem because 1t had something in ii
besides sensuous rhythm and which
would have preferred Fanny Elssler to
Maud Allen and Jenny Lind to the
"broilers" of the modern stage. 1t was
in this atmosphere and for this public
that TX Marvel wrote his "Reveries OF
a Bachelor" "Wet Days at Edgewood,'
his volumes Of essays, and his books OF
travel. They partook Of the genial
leisurely, on-looking spirit of the day
They are retrospective, and to an ex
tent introspective, and as such are quite
out of touch with the modern spirit OF
reading. There is nothing ''snappy'
about them and positively no action

yet an old fashioned publisher the Other
day had the courage to issue defini
tive edition of Mitchell's complete
works, so there must be few reader,

WHERE THE AUTO is FAST
SUPPLANTING THE HORSE.

A certain Boston celebrity is sup
posed to have remarked: The auto
mobile is putting the carriage business
all to the pazaz. =
The supplanting of horses and horse
vehicles by motor cars Is inevitable,
and the movement started in this direc-
ton by the traffic associations Of the
large cities of the world bids fair to
bring about these conditions before
many years
Between 1903 and 1907 no less than
700 new motor cabs and 1000 motor
buses were introduced in London, while
I.5OO horse cabs and 900 horse buses
dropped out of sight. The result of
this change has been a marked improve
ment- in street traffic conditions. The
motor vehicles not only give better
service but they leave more room in the
street.
One OF the London papers SAYS: we
have long held chat in the ideal Zig
town there would be no horses, and
London seems to be fast approaching
that state of things" That does not
mean, OF course, that the horse viii
disappear entirely. The horse is per
haps the most popular animal Of all
In Paris lately newspaper took a
poll on animals, and the horse won
the place OF nonor. But it was acknowl-
edged that the horse won not on ac-
count of his absolute utility so much as
on account of his romantic history.
The extraordinary success of the book
entitled ~Black Beauty attests the
popular affection felt for the proverb-
tally willing and faithful steed
But the increase of motor cars and
cabs shows that the usefulness of the
horse is bound to grow more and more
limited. The time Is coming, mques-
tionably, when the automobile wiz
serve every business as well a. every
social purpose.
