Mr. Gee. A. Jenks' appointment as so
licitor general et the United States, in
place of Jehn Goedc, of Virginia, rejected
by the Senate, affords occasion for surprise
only because it was generally supposed
when Mr. Jenks retired from the depart
ment of the interior it was in accordance
with a purpose unchangeable ferthe present
te retire from public life. It is far mere
likely that Mr. Jenks has been able te make
ether arrangements about his private busi
ness and professional ailaira than that the
newspaper stories are true which have it
that Mr. Jenks was dissatisfied with his
former place and new leeks forward te the
attorney generalship te succeed Mr. Gar
land. Mr. Jenks was called te his first imper
tant trust chiefly because Mr. Lamar bad
known him as a member et the Heuse te
be a singularly clear-minded, fair and able
lawyer, and upon Inquiry he found that
time had only ripened his powers and ma
tured his fitness for public efllce, while the
assidum,j'tand successful practice of his
b'ta railroad d brought him thatcomfert-
pie gathered yr which enabled him te ex

The best that can be said of Lord Lon
donderry's appointment as viceroy of Ire
land, is that he is a man with a reputation
for cool, calm judgment and even temper,
who will be as safe an instrument in the
hands of Salisbury as any that he could se
lect. The comment of the I'all Mull Oa
zttte sounds like sarcasm, theughjit is prob
ably intended for sober wisdom. It says
that Londonderry had no objection in 1S78
te supporting a movement " favoring a
proposed inquiry" into the merits of the
Irish demand for home rule, and that he
favored a new land law, and it therefore
leeks upon his appointment by a Conserva Censerva
tlve premier as an act auspicious for the
Irish people.

THE HEADING HABIT.

In the hearing In January last before the
roiumiliee of the Senate en thocepyrlght bill
Introduced by Sonater Uawley, thore was a
geed deal said nboutthe rapid (loci I no In the
demand for American leeks under the com
petition of the cheap reprluts of all sorts of
books by the American pirates, Henry Helt
added:
This Is net the whele question. It Is rap
Idly becoming a quostleu whether with rare
exceptions we are going te li.tte any serious
books at nil. Consider this a moment the
competition of books Issued by these rheap
libraries Is ruinous te all Iweks that are net
In these cheap libraries. It is net a question
or the competition of an LnplMi leek, w hleh
is reprinted ler 'M cents, Ith the name edi

It Is the competition ei mis ciirap wmim

He then eiteit as an Illustration the failure
in the American market of Sir Henry
Matne's two or three last hooks, the early
ones having sold very w oil, nnd continued
"In the old days of trade courtesy the pet
extravagance el many a substantial cltlren in
an out of-the-way place, was te step In the

nnd take something substintlal home In a
shape which he could hand uewn te ins

oxcept in lavered places thore Is no book beok boek
storo ler him te go te. Its place is taken by
a toy shop, with a few oheol books In ene
corner and a great counter full of cheap
pamphlets. The book buying habit is dying
out it was never confined te theso who
read. Heeks are largely bought by poeplo
who fancy books w he take them home in
tending te read, but don't"
The complaint new comes (rein Kngland

or later," he says " seme fulure annalist
will hae te wrile the history of the decline
and fall or Kngllsh fiction."
We ha e ourselves little doubt that the de
cline tu serious reading, which Mr. Helt
says Interferes w ith the sale or solid works
is new te be wltnessed In continuous reading
or any kind, and that It Is from this that
novels in a ixiek lerm are suuering. re
read a book any book w hatever with pleas
ure or even comfort, the attention has te be
se disciplined that it can pursue ene llnoet
thought for at least uu hour or two. Keep
ing ene's mind en a book of any kind needs
practice, Just as much as keeping one'i mind
en a speech or sermon. The capacity for lis
tening well Is new rarely round except among
Judgba and lawyers, and even among the
Judges it is said te be falling oil under the
influence of printed briers and argumenu.
Hut it has te be eultlrated in order
te be either attained or retained, as
everybody knows who only occasionally
gees te hear a sermon or lecture. The un
trained attention runs hither and thither
like a rctless child, and nothing but a very
determined ellert of the will keeps it fixed
en the words or the orator or warda oft sleep,
iu w hicli, again like a restless child, it Is ery
apt te take rufuge en the slightest approach
el fatigue. Curiously enough, tee, the inca
pacity for sustained attention or mental olTert
i one of the most marked characteristics or
the savagn, as distinguished from the civilized
man. AH who have had te de with the sav
age in any part of the world testify that the
difficulty In communicating new Ideas te him
is the difficulty In getting him te listen long
en any one subject Ills mind Is as prone te
wander as that et a child.
The capacity for reading a book that is rer
keeping the inlnd fixed en ene argument or
narratUoTera period mere or leas prolonged
has always In modern times been muchmore
widespread than the capacity for listening,
owing te the fact that we all get our earllet
mental training through books. As long,
tee, as iKieka wure the euly sources r enter
tainment, and large numbers et niore or less
cultivated poeplo Uved in the country, and
there were no newspapers or ether jieriodi jieriedi
cals, and rew iimuseiiients, and travel was
rare and expensive, the habit of reading waa
kept up. Hut thore is great reason te rear
that what with the nowspapersand the maga
zines and the art galleries and the museum,
the theatres and lacllity withwhich we can
get ether peeple te gossip with us when we
are both Idle nnd lazy, the number or these
who can or e er de read a book, even a no el,
men. i peer novel, Is rapidly declining. In
fact, we fear that any ene who inquired
among his friends outslde the protessera
and professional llterarymen, wetildlludthat
the number of these who new ever read a
serious book of any kind was exceedingly
small, and that thonewho rend even novels is
growing smaller. Most men who have net
kept up thehabltef reuding,lbfact,ge te sleep
ever a serious book almost immediately, and
threw down a novel alter a few
pages if the plot does net tnlcken
rapidly, or the Incidents are few. The
thoughtful novo), such as lioerge I'.l let's
tilled with rellectlen and speculations would
fare much worse new, even coming from an
author of her powers, than it did thirty years
age. The newspaier, in truth, is fast form
ing the menUl habits of this generation, and
even this Is getting te be tee heavy, unless
the articles or extracts nre very khert The
reader begins mere and niore te resent being
asked te keep his ntteutien fixed en any
one subject ler mero tbau iive minutes.
In short, any ene who tlatters himself
during the busy yiara of an active career,
when he does no reading but newspaper
reading, that he is going te beoemo a reader
of IxxiUs at a later period, when he gets mere
leisure, may rest assured that he Is greatly
mistaken. When leisure comes he will find
that a serious book w ill tire him or send him
asleoplnteu minutes, Just as a dumb-bell
would tire a long unused arm. Te be able te
read continuously for long porleds at any
tlnie of lire, just as te be able te row, or walk,
or ride, ene must keep In pravtice year after
year, by doing mero or less or it everyday
or at least every week. The man who finds
thi.the shrinks from a book and longs rer a
.Sunday paper, may feel as sure that he Is
mentally "out of condition" as thoathleto
who cannot lear te leave his easy chair with
out a cocktail.
The falling en" In the practlce of book-buying,
evon among theso who mean te read but
de net, of which Mr. Helt speaks, we think
Is due in a eonslderablo degree te ihasuporler
attraction of what we may call ether kinds

are te the collector that is, te the man who
buys books without seriously meaning te

In what they contain books are furniture
rather than literature). Thirty years age, be bo be
fere the icsthotle movement, that is, beforethe
days or "art" and brie-a-brau in the country,
a "substantial eltien," who had made money
and wanted te show it ordered a library
as a matter of course when furnishing
his new house. It filled seme of the vast
spaces en the walls of his parlor, which in
these days the uphelster who used te be
wholly occupied with the carpets tabl&s nnd
chairs did net reach. Moreover, It foil In with
