In addition the directors have been

French View of Dickens.

Leo Claretie, a noted French writer.
has written little book in which he
gives translated selections from the
works of Charles Dickens and 10 which
he adds an analysis of the character of
the great English author He says that
Dickens exaggerated; but that only
trath can withstand exaggeration and
behind all is actual truth. He notes the
it is. bow robust, how refreshing. 1t is.
Re says, full of strength, good nature
and good humor. not the ironie humor
that kills, but an affectionate mirth
that only pokes sympathetic fun. He
notes that Dickens teaches morality:
that all his immense output may be
read by young girls; that love is beat
tful; guilty love is but lightly touched
upon. and always terribly punished; his
sympathies are with the lowly, the
poor. the suffering. and the young.
Claretie in conclusion advises the read
ing of lie Grillon du Foyer" in these
words. IF Won desire to get quickly an
idea of his work and his genius read
the Cricket on the HEARTH, which re-
produces all his characteristics. This
short story is typical and we'll repre-
sents the Dickens style; the Cricket is
symbol of the writer Charles Dickens
the friend and the inmost soul of the
hearth and of family life" TRANSACTIONS

brought about in great degree by the
better feeling existing between the two

The Expre.sman and the Hen.

You could see that the expressman
was not a hen fancier; and that he
had never sat up to all hours of the
night grooming a fowl so that every
feather lay fiat and smooth and spot
less. You could see, even. that he had
no brother or cousin or uncle who had
ever gene in for show fowls. And you
could see that there was going to be
an exhibitor somewhere tomorrow who
was going to be as mad as a. wet hen.
A pair of fine white fowls had been
shipped in nicely built pen to some
one of the many shows around the
country. By arts of persuasion known
/, to hens. one of the fowls had worked
herself out between the Stats until she
had only to pull her hind foot through
and she would be free. The express
mans attention was called to the fact,
and he set about to remedy it. His
method was to shove the hen backward
into the crate, the way she came out.
The hen resisted and so did the Stats of
the crate. Tie will power Of the ex-
pressman won the day, but she hardly
looked like a prize winner by the time
she was back in the coop.-Fall River
