The discussion of the lists Of best
sellers" that are published monthly has
been renewed owing to some interest
ing Confessions" of a popular novelist,
who admits that he manufactures
harmless but thrilling" fiction for this
great market It is intimated that
many authors and publishers would
like to see the lists discontinued, for
In many instances they represent wish
ss rather than facts, and In some cases
they create false Impressions. How
ever, the honest lists of best sellers
have never given any support to the
assertion Of some hasty critics that
only ephemeral and worthless novels
figure in these lists. The fact is, as
the anonymous writer who has con-
fessed his sins points out, that the
best novels by the best English and
American wgiters have generally been
included In these lists" Even 80 "old-
fashioned" a novelist as De Morgan,
who makes no concessions to the fads
and fancies of the day, has shared
the ignominy of popular success" to
say nothing Of Mrs. Wharton, Mrs.
Ward, Churchill, Owen Wister, Hew-
lett, Wells and others. Undoubtedly
many of the best sellers are not litera-
ture at all, but the qualities which
please In them--romance, plot, adven-
ture, humor-are generally wholesome
and natural There are not enough

Confessions" further, ito satisfy the
popular demand, and while the people
wait they take inferior books, which
have no aim but to amuse. And there
Is this difference-the really good nov
els are steady sellers after they disap-
pear from the lists Of best sellers,
while tine madeto ~order variety is
short-lived and has no hope OF resur-
rection. And this latter fact suggests
an adjunct to the system Of ascertain
ing and publishing lists Of best sellers
These lists, apart from the element Of
dishonesty that has been charged
against some of them, merely indicate
the state Of the market. What pub
fishers and lovers OF letters might do
to encourage good work and artistic
education is to prepare and furnish
semi-annual lists Of steady sellers, of
novels and volumes OF essays, biogra-
ply and history that have survived
and that stand out as works Of merit
and value-works that the great pub
lie should not forget. How many books
deserve praise and commentator in a
retrospective survey Of literature?
These are interesting questions, and
the proposed lists of steady sellers,
books crowned" by the consensus of
critics and thoughtful readers, would
answer them to some extent.

. THE SPEED OF THE PIGEON.


Racing pigeons are the 1eetest of all
creatures. They have maintained a
speed of a mile and half minute
for a hundred miles, according to a
writer in Golfers, and they have
flown seven hundred miles between
the rising and the setting of the sun.
Pigeons have flown a thousand miles
back to the home loft. In 1904 bird
covered that distance in five days, two
hours and fifteen minutes, proving how
unerring is the mysterious homing III
stinct that will drive them across the
continent without swerving. But this
test is not true sport. The birds SIM
ply hurl themselves against time and
space till they are played out. They
can never race again.
The racer rises into the air with
heavy slow wing pulsations, then, once
poised over the starting point, there
is swifter, shorter beat, and the time
is hit up" to the third and permanent
wing rhythm, rapid and steady as a
pulse beat, which carries them home
They fly three hundred feet high
over land, but low over water. Their
enemies as they fly are wind, rain, gun
ners and hawks. They do all their fly
ing between sunrise and sunset. If
caught out overnight, they fend for
themselves till dawn.
The homing instinct is lifelong.
During the Franco-Prussian War the
Germans caught homing pigeon
which was on its way into beleaguered
Paris The bird was kept prisoner for
ten years. 1t was then released. It

Ruse Adopted by Rabbi to Cure
Moral and Physical Sufferer.
A story Is told of Rabbi Wiidrewitz,
who Is we'll know1 on the east side,
the New York Press says. A recently
arrived skeptic and cynic came to see
him once with a case" intended to
put the reverend gentleman 'up
tree" He called and begged to be
healed and consoled.

two maladies. l have great weak
ness-I cannot tell the truth, and that
hurts my soul terribly. And I have
lost the sense of taste in my mouth;
something is wrong with my tongue"
Mr.. Wildrewitz studied the man a
moment, seemed to be perplexed, and
said: Come again tomorrow. 1t is
a dificult case | shall have to reflect
upon it. If God wills, I shall be able
to help you
When the patient returned next day
the rabbi brought forth a pill he had
prepared, told the doubly afflicted man
to open his mouth and showed it in.
The pill was of considerable size.
Scarcely had the patient allowed it
to dissolve in his mouth when he be-
gan to spit, with an expression of the
greatest disgust, and exclaimed:
What do you mean? That's tar
and sulphur and kerosene you gave
me- Do you want to poison me-?
Phui!"
We'll, what are you making so
much noise about?" laughed the rabbi.
with great heartiness. Hasn't God per-
formed q miracle? You have told the
truth; 1t is really tar and sulphur and
kerosene And you have actually re-
covered the sense of taste in your
mouth"

To degree that men OF the early
nineteenth century never dared to
hope, society is being international
lied, and all the serious aspects OF
human endeaYor and speculation are
more and more being faced by men as
men. and not as members of races or
as citizens Of nations. They agree In
intellectual aims, social desires, hui
man feelings; but they differ radically
in the speech with which they define
their aims, their hopes and their de-
sires. Are they to be forever debar-
red from completest interchange of
their ideas and ideals by lack of a
common speech? Are the records of
their united action always to be writ
ten in diverse tongues? Is the Ian
guage of science to be shaped by Ba-
