Whereas many OF the new frocks

LITERATURE FOR THE YOUNG

To choose books for children is
serious task and one likely to cause the
conscientious parent no little anxiety.
Wise choice involves not only critical
faculty and developed taste but wide
reading in contemporary juvenile liz
erature. The recollection of few old
favorites among standard works is not
sufficient, for many children in our
time require new story at least once
week.
The wide reading necessary for wise
choice is manifestly out of the question
in the case of the average parent. Most
parents, therefore, must either select
books at random or seek advice. The
former is hazardous and the latter,
| if of the right sort, is not readily o.
tanned Often the newspaper editor is
appealed to, particularly at this season
of the year when the Christmas holi-
days are approaching. But the busy
editor can do little more than recon-
mend old standard works.
What has long been needed is a book
on juvenile literature, the product Of
an expert, that can serve as safe
guide for parents and teachers who
wish to put into the hands of the young
stories that charm yet are harmless
and useful and of sufficient literary
quality to cultivate the taste. Such a
safe and serviceable guide was recent
| ly provided by the publication of THE
children's Reading" by Frances Jen.
hns Olcott (Houghton Mifflin Com
pany), and we heartily recommend I
to the parents and teachers among the
readers of The Telegraph, believin :
that the book will prove to be highly
useful in this vastly important depart
ment of the education of the young.
Miss Olcott, who for years was the
head of the childrens department VI
the Carnegie library, Pittsburg, and
one of the teachers in the school for
librarians attached to that institution,
not only presents evidences OF ripe eX-
perience, fine taste and exhaustive in
vestigation, but has produced most
readable book and one that, If not al
together a pioneer in new field, is
unquesionably the best product of its
kind Its fourteen chapters discuss n
an illuminating way the influence Of
good books, some modern conditions
and the effect of bad books, children's
| utcro'ts, ways of guiding reading, pic
ture books and illustrators, easy rel ,-
ng, fables, myths and fairy tales, oai-

In letter to his wife written in New
York City. Sunday. October IS, 1874
Sidney Lanier says:
1.-The world does not require
enough at the hands of genius. In
der the special plea of greater SEN
sibIities, and Of consequent great
er temptations, it excuses its gifted
ones, and even sometimes makes
a law Of their weakness But this
is wrong; the sensibility o. genius
is Just as much greater to nigh en-
otions as to low ones; and whilst
it subjects to stronger temptation,
II at the same time interpOses-f
to villa stronger consideration
for resistance"
Lanier is here discussing the restless
soul and the ceaseless wear of incom-
pleteness which finally resulted in the
death of the German musician and
author, Robert Schumann.
1t has been thirty-eight years since
Lanier expressed the sentiment OF thtt
time toward people of genius. HIS
structure is severe enough; but if he
had spoken for the people of less than
a half century earlier, it could have
been even more severe. So confirmed
were many of the people of the time, n
the opinion that n brilliant man must
have some weakness, that teachers be-
gan to tall their pupils that Edgar Al

the best in the following extract:
Hope, then, is the only fit mood for
a man. Expectancy should be the
breath of his nostrils. We have a
right to expect greater things in the
realm of the physical, greater inven-
tons, greater discoveries, greater con-
quests over nature, greater coronations
Of mans genius and prowress. The
nineteenth century was wonderful, the
twentieth will be more wonderful, and
the twenty-first will be the most won
derful of all.
I'VE are warranted in expecting
greater things for the nations 1t IS
increditable that their ugly moods and
ignorable proctices should go on for
ever. We are within the bounds ot
reason when we expect war to cease,
and armed peace to be laid aside like 2
toy outgrown. If the heavens are
singing of peace and good will, how
absurd to suppose that the earth will
always brstle with instruments Il
slaughter!
I'VE have solid grounds for expect
ing great things for our country Our
obstacles can be surmounted, our foes
can be conquered. Demons can be
exercised and wrongs can be redress
ed. Ignorance and selfishness are
the cause of many woes, but both of
these are durable. If we can break
the sceptor of the dynastry of feyers
which have for centuries lorded it
over the region now traversed by the
Panama Canal, why doubt that wide
zones of American life, now polluted
can be made sweet and clean by
workers baptized into a spirit mora
potent than the toxine of these evil
days?
And shall we not expect greater
things for ourselves? No one of us is
doing his best Who dares claim that
he is all he might be? Life is full OF
fresh opportunities, and hidden fore
es, and glad surprises"

New Yerk, Nov lS.-The cotton mar

vance of 4 to points in response to
higher Liverpool cables, but almost

dation, rumors of easier southern spot
offerings and talk of full ginning re,

Active months hold to net loss
of 10 to II points during the early
trading.
The market was steadier later IN

meeting of the revision committee to-
morrow and the absence of any inn
portant hedge selling. Acti~e months
sold back to within or points Of
last nights closing figures, but the
advance was stopped by a private
ginning report of 1o,4O1 900 bales to

After a somewhat irregular noon
hour, the market today firmed on re-
ports that spinners were fixing prices

selling to develop on any important
scale. Prices at o'clock were about
net unchanged to l point higher.
