GIVE REALITY TO THE CHILD
Writers Of the Nineteenth Century
Responsible for Valuable kddl-
ton to Literature.

Children were only found yesterday.
Before the nineteenth century the
child mind and the child heart were
not supposed to have enough In them
to interest the majestic adult. 1t Is
true that you find a delightful baby
In Homer; that In Vergil there is the
prettiest glimpse Of a little girl, and
up and down In the classics you may
meet half a dozen other pleasant
shadows OF children. But they are
only shadows, only at the most charm
Ing pictures. They give you as much
as II they were painting or sculpture
for In children's bodies art has al
ways had interest enough--only what
e child looks like, the pretty weak
ness, the instinct for play, the native
gesture and movement. Not till the
return to nature" not till the spirit
Of romance moved on the waters at
the end Of the eighteenth century, do
you find poets beginning to tell Of the
thought and faith In q child's mind,
the mysteries of the child's heart, the
fancies that are dreams and the fan
cies that are visions. You may think
that they have gone too far, that they
read into childhood the laborious
philosophizing and sometimes the Ia
bored sentimentality Of the adult. But
no one who loves children will deny
that the best Of the children in nine
teenth century books have far richer
reality, far fuller life than any that
were born in earlier words. And some
Of the best are in Dickens.

II not a better Judge Of character.
She once wrote an appreciation Of
Dickens in which she declared the
world lost its greatest actor when
Boz became q writer. She gave a de-
scription Of one Of Dickens readings
that was mastery In its vividness Of
detail. Such versatility as she cred.

CAME BACK TO HIS MEMORY
Long Years Of Captivity Had Not e.
faced Early Teachings From Mind
Of elephant.

The following Is an instance Of An
elephants good manners and Of the
tenacity- with which an idea once TO
Gel in his mem.
When visiting tho London Zoo, an
Englishman who had seen service I'm
India got permission for his chilc ten
to ride on one of the elephants. Alter,
the ride he wished to give the beast
a bun and to make him say Please"
using In this connection the phrase
'Salaam kuro" (make a salaam).
The man animal regarded the man
gravely for some time, eagerly eyeins
the bun In his hand. At last memory
came to the pachyderm's aid. and up
went his trunk, and he made a most
correct salaam.
The beasts keeper was much as
tonished, asking what the performance
meant. The Britisher explained that
1t was point of good manners for an
elephant to raise his trunk UT to his
forehead II anyone was going to feed
him, and that frequently elephants
would ask In this polite manner for
something when they encountered
anyone who seemed likely to offer
them food.
The keeper assured the visitor that
he had never seen the elephant do this
before, and that he had been In
charge Of the beast since it's arrival
from India a long time since. For IT
years this animal had never heard
these words. and had always taken
his food without this mark OF good
manners.-The Sunday Magazine.
