Amer,oan Literature.
 If one were asked what IS the dom inant tone in American literature and hee. the answer would be youthful ness;;' but this youth has attained all the vices of age, and has conserved . few of the charms proper to its period. It is very disingenuous youth indeed. This insistence on 'boyish ness is unhealthy; more. it is de- prayed. These boyish boys and girl. ish girls of the writer and the artist are the indications Of real cancer in American public life. Perhaps in portraying them the writers and illus trators are describing something which is az true as it is detestable. The cult of youthfulness in America Is a national calamity. far graver than anything for which Europe has to mourn. Youth has nothing to give life but it's energy; 1t has even less to give literature, for literature is an expression of the spiritual truth which runs parallel with every mate rial experience. It is not the retail. ing of petty gossip about petty peo pie: and when this youthful energy fs divorced from the control of ma, turity nobody can benefit from it ex. cept the middle-aged woman for whom American literature is now be- Ing written.

 The Yout, of Athens.
 When Athens gave every fourth block to her children and youth for the gymnasium and the playground, che built bodies of silk and steel. and great men walked up and down her streets in regiments, and her health bloomed in the orations of Demos- themes, and the essays of Plato and the marbles of Phidias.

Not Easter Eggs. but CaterpiIIer Eggs

The children Of Pocasset have been col:
lecting, not Easter eggs, but caterPilla
eggs. They have collected them by the
thousands. They have literally eggs to
burn. The reason for this activity is that
a short time ago, their teacher offered
prizes to the three pupils, who collected
more than their fellows. Hearing Of this,
a Scituate appleman offered substantial
6rst prize with the result that the seventh
grade alone, have collected over five thou
sand clusters of eggs. The contest closed
March 3Ist. The leaders are as follows,
Minnie Parillo, 1850; Nanene Parllor
1868; Maria Parillo, I,473; all of The
seventh grade. Angeline Jagarone of the
first grade, collected $50, George Ferri OF
the second grade, 39r; Rose Fenner of the
third grade, 357; Antonio Ferri, of the
fourth grade, 4o9 and Walter Potter of the
fifth grade, Ia2. The number collected
by the whole school lacked but forty-two
of being eight thousand clusters. Count
ing possible two hundred caterpillars TO
an egg cluster, these industrious child
rem have destroyed over a million and a
half of the fuzzy crawlers.
