Modern and Ancient Literature.
From the Atlantic.

Modern literature. compared with an
cient literature. is careless slipshod
not wholly grown-up; it has little
sense of responsibility. The chief duty
IT sets before itself is to hold the mir
ror up TO nature and reflect the unin-
telligfble happenings of life in all their
confusion. their inconsistency, their in
anity. Ancient literature was dominated
by very different purpose it had a pro-
found sentiment of high duty. The Gre
alton, so II seems TO the ancients had
been left incomplete. and man, as the
creature most divine. was charged with
the labor or carrying on the uncomplet-
ed task. With bold hearts the Greeks
set to work to piece out the incomplete
ness with literature. especially with poet
ry, to make up for the neglect of the
gods by human achievement. | look on
those ancient Greeks and Romans as /
do workmen who fill in the marshy
shadows of our river fronts put earth
upon the spongy ooZe. grass. set
out trees, plant flowers and create a
garden where before was merely mud
and slime.

Jenny Lind's California Debut.
ON the Health Magazine

At Monterey. Cal. formerly a part of
Mexico. and ceded to the United States
during the Mexican war. is the first
public building built in California and
now a broken down, weather-racked
ruin of adobe. In this building Jenny
Lind made her first California debut
and when the gold the enthusiastic
miners had thrown upon the stage
after her performance was gathered
IN it was found to fill two five-gallon
oil cans-about twenty pounds of
gold and equal in value to about SIS, 900.
Another curious building is police
station which is built within the braces
of an oil derrick. and for unique build

Comfort to Families.

1T would be a great comfort to the
families of our eminent men and women,
and, perhaps, to the parents of some of
our beautiful boys and girls, if life masks
We're prepared. This would insure an
exact likeness. as the very finest details
of the face, including eyebrows, eyelashes
and even the stubby beard are faithfully
reproduced.
George Washington has described the
making of his life mask at Mount Yer
non by the great sculptor. Houdon. The
PRESIDENT said that Mrs. Washington
came into the bedroom at Mount Vernon
just as his face had been covered with
the plaster of paris. and although she
knew that the mask was being taken
upon seeing his white face as he open
co the door she gave loud scream
This. said the President, accounts for
the twist Of the mouth
While the matter of taking the life
mask is so simple it requires experience
on the part of the artist. and not every
artist even is an adept at this work. as is
Mr.. Conner"

CHANGE IN RAIL WAY MAP
ABOUT TO TAKE PLACE
First Real Transcontinental Road
Could Result From Dissolu-
ton Plan.

radical change in the country's rail-
way map is about to take place. as a re-
suit Of the Union Pacific dissolution
plan, agreed upon last week. In the
statement issued Monday, setting forth
the position Of the government, Attorney
General McReynolds pointed out that if
Union Pacific and the Pennsylvania ex-
changed s3S.OO0.O0O Southern Pacific
stock for an equal amount of Baltimore
and Ohio the Union Pacific would then
own 1896 per cent Of the outstanding
stock of Baltimore and Ohio. while Penn
sylvania would own IA per cent of the
capital stock Of Southern Pacific. In
both instances. those holdings would car
ry control, which, in one case, means the
formation of the first real transcontnen-
tai railroad in the United States, and in
the other the abandonment of time
honored policy.
Union Pacific now has a single-track
road from Portland, Ore, to Granger
Wyo., and another one from Los Angeles
to Salt Lake.
