THE COLUMBIAN, BLOOMSBURG, PA. PARIS LETTER. From our Kegtilar Correspondent. Taris, France, June 1 1, 1900. THE TALACE OF CONGRESS ND HISTORY OF REMOIONS. Strange as it may seem, about the best place to study the United States at the present time is in the Paris Universal Exposisition. When you are very close to a big thing you cannot see it. Perspection is neces sary in measuring Us scope. I have just returned from a visit to the build ing where many International Con gresses, Sociologic, Scientific, Thilan thropic, Educational and Religious are held. The Congresses sit in the large upper halls where many eminent specialists from all parts of the world are met to confer and discuss. In the lower halls are exhibits of various countries, and the exhibit of the Unit ed States is in the second room to the right. In all the rooms ol these build ings are displayed pictures, tables, maps, and models of hospitals, schools, relormatory institutions, libraries, etc. It is interesting to know that our country is ahead of all others in cir culating libraries, and surprising to learn that Italy comes next. We have not nearly suchjlarge librar ies as some other countries, but the difference is that ours are mobile and useful while these old century librar ies are stagnant. The great libraries of F.urope are for savants, ours for the people. If you doubt this try to get into one of the old world libraies and see what a mesh of obstruction and red tape you will have to struggle through. You will need to present a written order before you can enter and the man from whom you get it is more inaccessible than a U. S. cabinet minister. You can enter the National Library at Washington, and 1 th'nk any library in the United States, and read without formality or card any book on the shelves. Mr. Melville Dewey of the State of New York lias done more for the improvement of the circulating library '.han any other man. The idea which possessed him was that a library should not be a mere re servoir or museum (or rare and curi ous books but a reservoir with pipes leading into every household. In other words dissemination, rather than ac cumulation, has been his aim and ac complishment. The broadcasting of wholesome chaste literature by means of the traveling country libraries of re cent invention is bound to have a most salutory effect upon the intelli gence of the country and will doubt less do much to neutralize the flood of cheap bad books and debasing journalism. "Do you know," said Ruskin, ' if you read that book you cannot read this on??" When we re flect that only a small proportion of the really good books can be read in a lifetime it is literally true that in reading a trashy book we are losing forever the time to read a good one. It is auspicious for the future in telligence ol the citizens of the United States and especially of Italy that these two countries lead all others in the circulation of wholesome literature. It means for Italy a completion of her emancipation which was only par tially accomplished when Garabaldi entered r.ome and overthrew the tem poral power of the Tope. Yesterday I saw on one of the most crowded boulevards of Paris a long procession ot boys of from eight to twelve years old marshalled by two men who were in citizen s clothes and not as in form er days the long domino of priests. I asked one of the leaders if they were public school children. The reply was: "Qui Monsieur,garcons de l'ecole Nationale." I could not help saying "vive 1 e'eole publique: "for the future of France is more dependent on the education of the youth of the country than its great army. I shall have more to say about this Palais of Congress and the questions considered by the eminent specialists who are now here. 1 o my mind this, while the last jrappant, is really the most important part of the Exposition. It means more for human ameliora tion than the latest thing in plows automobiles or electricity, though 1 must not be understood as munifying their usefulness. I learn that there will be no Congress ot Religions such as was held at Chicago, but there is on the program "d'Historie des Reli gions" to be discussed from the 3rd to the 8th of September inclusive and will doubtless bring up the subject 111 its breadth. There will be no parti cipation by ih-j Roman Catholics. As the very intelligent Frenchman M. F.mile lUireevis of the Office of the Seaet.iry-Ooneril said; "The Catholics do not like discussion." For reasons of policy the Catholics took a part in the Chicago symposium. It had to be done or the utter unfitness of the church for intelligent modem hu manity and Christianity would have been accentuated in a way to ferious ly injure this great politico religious organization in the United States, but there was an cntre nous understanding between the American hierarchy and the Vatican that the fraternization ol Cardinal Gibbons and others at Chicago was for effect, and their levity on this occasion did not in the least affect the ancient policy of Rome. Indeed it was quickly followed by a repressive and retrogressive encyclical from the Pope, and a reaction against "Americanism" or "Ileckerism," in other words a reaction against common-sense as applied to religion. There is not in France or in French politics any reason why the Catholic Church should make a pretense of liberality ?s she did in the United States at Chicago, for just as an at tempt to appear abreast with the ae would help her in a country where religionists think, it would injure her prestige and her power with a people who in matters of religion, at least, have had for ages all thought repressed.

'Washington Star. than Many people who are constantly trying to concort new and and temnt- ing dishes ovestep the mark. People who eat large quantities of tne various preserved foods are not always the strongest. The old fashioned meal of roasted ot boiled beef served up with its own juices, with two plain vege tables and a pudding, was far more wholesome than the eight course-dinner which is served nowadays. Few people know the true flavor of potatoes or rice. In this country seasoning too often means salt and pepper only. People in the Eastern countries, especially the Turks, make most de light fu I stews and soups by using a combination of veuetables, cooking them slowly enough to draw out the flavor. Extracts and sauces prepared chemically, and mustard and horse radish, may be taken now and then, perhaps to advantage ; but, as a rule, things of this kind should be avoided or used sparingly.

With few except ions, the world' preat novelists have been musters of the short story, nays the International Monthly. They hammered lit the short story until they perfected it us a liter ary form as distinct and self-contained us u sonnet or u ballad. They found that the Ideal 'short story, like the ideal lyric; can deal with only one main emotion or experi ence that the slightest Irrelevancy is fatal that every dctuil must be bound with living curd to the heart that every word must bear on the creature; every man, be he but a street scaven ger, is a whole bundle of men, and every one of them of varying moods. Where is the chance to paint a man In a short story? At best there can be but a glimpse of one passing experi ence, one isolated emotion. Iningine "Tom Jones" in a single chapter, or "Le Pere Goriot" In a coutel There have been of late few strenu ous and interesting attempts ut a cross between the novel and a short story. The resulting hybrid has been sufli elently alarming to prevent, it is to be hoped, further experiments in this di rection. It is worth noting, however, that the hysterical und emotional nov elette is less painful to encounter than the amorphous and hydrocephalic short story. In the matter of literary forms the mixture of bloods und cross ing of strains seems less successful than biologists declare them to be iu the animal world. A ('tinnlstrnt 1'rof clon.
