JUVENILE LITERATURE.
tn Wane It I Prim to the Extreme ol
Insipidity.
Lltcrotnro in onr country not having
as Its aim cither instruction or amuso
tnnut, but tho production of works of
art, is forbidden to French children. 1
except fairy talcs. Pcrnolt has written
ninsterplocrsj Mrae. d'Anluny nnd oth
ers have followed him. Tho fairies of
Other conntrlcs may have been mors
poetic, bnt they have never been as wit
ty as tho French. Lenving fniry titles
asido, children were obliged for long
time to be satisfied with the very alight
collection bequeathed by Bcrguiu,
Bonilly, Minn, do Ucnlis, those clever
people and who know how to coat a moral
lesson with a thin layer of pictures, as
bitter pills are coated with sugur. In
fact, this is tho French parents' rcry
ideal in the matter of story books, and
to please them the lesson ninst nut be
too well coated or hard to find, for the
spirit of investigation is not encouraged
in yonng renders.
During the post 80 years, however,
the monger library at their disposal baa
grown wonderfully. Celebrated pens
have oontt ibnted toward it We need bnt
mention Jules Verne, whose scientific
fairy tales have, alas, almost completely
dethroned those that appealed to the
imagination alone. But neither in his
books, nor in those of any of his com
petitors, will yon ever find what both
English and American writers onrrently
permit themselvos to do namely, to ar
raign a relative, as, for instance, the
Wicked nncle in "Kidnapped," or to
make teachers hateful, or merely ridicu
lous, as is the case in Dickens' works.
This would be an outruge upon the re
spect due them in the aggregate. For
this reason translation! are nearly nl
wars expnrgnted. The friendly adop
tion of poor Laurie by the four girls in
"Little Women" would be considered
vory unseemly. Yet, for all thut, they
were good little New bngluud girls. T.
B. Altlrich's "Story of a Bud Boy" was
deprived of one of its prettiest chapters,
the one about his childish love for a big
girl. "It is useless, they say, "to draw
attention to that kind of danger."
Authors and editors are often greatly
perplexed before this severe tribunul of
French parents. Tho difference between
the books children are allowed to read
in France and those sought by their
elders, the contrast between the taste
less pap on one side and the infeiuttl
spiceness on the other, must greatly us
tonisli both English and American read'
ers, who nearly all accept the same lit
erary diet, young nnd old, parents and
children. Th, Bentzon in Century.

A Virginia Justice Oio Bad a Orndfe
Aaralnst Washington-
A Washington man who bad some
business before one of the smaller courts
in a Virginia county went down there
on a recent Saturday to attend to it,
He found the judge before whom the
matter name, and as it was a merely
pro forma proceeding he had no antici
pation of trouble in getting it done.
When tiie matter was presented, the
judge said :
"No, sab. If I transact that business
for yon, I will have to open oo't, and I
will not open co't for any Washington
man on Saturday."
"Why not?" asked the astonished
Capital City man.
"Because, sah, I went down to Wash
ington on a Saturday not long ago, and
not a single judge was sitting in the
oo't I am an attorney, sah, an attor
ney admitted to practice in Washington
oo'ts, and yet because it was a Saturday
I was not allowed to practice there,
sah, when I luid some vital points to
make, sah."
" Wall, I am not to be blamed for that,
said the man from Washington. " Yon
ought not to hold me responsible for
what the judges do or do not da
"It makes no difference, sah; yon are
part of the system, a devilish bad sys
tem, sah, and you most help to reform
it, aah, and yon are the first man I have
had opportunity to impress my views
upon, and I am going to make them felt
Go home and reform your system of
Batnrdqy oo'ts, and then come to me,
sah."
And Virginia got even with Wash'
ington in one case. Washington Star.
Mot Safer For Sarvioo la Cuba.
Spanish soldiers are betraying an in
surmountable aversion to a campaign in
Cuba, and desertions hava been very
frequent of late. This has led to the
adoption of an extremely strict surveil
lance along the Pyrenean frontier, and
all the trains running to Franoe are
carefully scrutinized by the Spanish
gendarmes, to the annoyance and dis
comfort of many of the passengers.
Yonng men are subjected to a severe
examination, and those who are nnable
to establish their identity or give a sat
Isfaotory explanation of the motives of
their joarney are oompelled to alight
and are ooudnoted to the gendarmerie,
Where they are again plied with ques
tions, all the deserters detected in this
way being at once handed over to the
military authorities. This often entails
considerable delay, and in spite of the
watchfulness of the officials many yonng
soldiers still anooeeed in making their
way into Franoa. London Telegraph.

Gibbon carefully studied for himself
the questions at issue In the American
war. From Israel Mnuduit, the agent
of Massachusetts Bay, and from Govern
or Hutchinson ho ga Vpred material for
forming an Indopendh. V judgment. "I
think," he says, "I ha S sacked them
very dry, and if niy confidence wns
equnl to my eloquence, nnd my elo
quence to my knowledge, perhaps I
might make no very intolerable speak
er. " It is curious to note in his letters
the apathy of parliament on tliosrliject.
"In this season and on Atneric.," he
writes In May, 1778, "the Archnngel
Gabriel would not bo heard." His own
opinion was, on sovoral points, adverse
to the policy or tho government,
which, exoept on one occasion, ho stoad
ily supported. He was one of those in
dolent men who attach themselves to
political lcadors rather than to political
principles. For Lord North he felt a
warm affection, and throughout voted
with him, sometimes against his better
judgment.
His speech would probably have been
silver, his silence was certainly golden.
In 1778 be was appointed a commission

ary of 760 a year. Fox believed that
he had been bribed by office and ex

Few people realize that Chicago to
day possesses more bridges In number
than any other oity in AiScrica. Col
leotively they constitute a greater total
length in miles than any other system.
The extent of n single span of one of
the swing bridges is greater than that
of any other bridge. Modern brllne con
struction is embodied in and illustrnted
with a greater variety of perfected
mechanical dovices in Chicago than is
the case in any other city in the world.

A Hog Make Sunday Visit.
A bright farrier dog owned at the
Americnn Honse, Pittsfield, Mass., is
known at tho Maplewood a Billy. The
dog every Sunday morning goes to the
Maplewood and stnys in the oashier's

American on other dnys nnless taken to
the Maplewood. Sundays, as regularly as
that day comes, in the season, the ani
mal takes np his early march for the
other house, remains all day and re
turns. This he has done for the past few
seasons, and so regularly that tho guests
at the Maplewood havo beoorae familiar

Animal Remain In Coal.
Most people know that con) Is full of
vegetable remains, but comparatively
few are aware of the fact that animal
and insect bodies by countless millions
also go to make np the great beds of
fuel that are now being so extensively
drawn upon. Tho vegetable impressions
found in coal or in the shale just above
the vein are very beautiful as well as
numerous, not less than 1,500 different
kinds of plants having been noticed in
the enrboniforous seams in the different
parts of tho world. Some of these plants
orn very much like those uoV living,
but the majority of thorn, even tliongh
fonnd in Nova Scotia or Iceland, appear
to be representatives of what uro now
tTopionl varieties.
Muny animals and insects aro also
found fossilized and thoroughly pre
served in the coal beds. The sy petrified
creatures of the bygone age called the
"coul period are of various kinds.
Huge toadlike reptiles with beautiful
teeth, small troo lizards, great fish with
tremendnns jaws, tiny water mites,
snails, "hundred legged" worms and
thousnuds of insects of the grasshopper
and dragon tly tribes ore also found.
Tho curious fact is that there is not a
siuglo representative of these fosrMized
creatures now living. bt Louis He.

Saddleback Ledge Light
This is one of tho wildest and bleak'
est of light stations of that savage re'
gion, and, according to a story told
there, it was once the scene of a remark'
ably plucky adherence to duty on the
part of a 15-yeur-old boy. He was the
son of the koepcr, and on this occasion
was loft alone in the tower while his
father went ashore for provisions in
their only boat. Beforo the latter could
return a violent storm arose, and for
the next three weeks there was no time
in whioh tho keeper's boat conld have
lived for a moment in the wild seas that
raged about the lonely rock. Still the
light was kept burning by that 16 -year
old boy, who had little to eat and but
scant time to sleep. Night after night
for three weeks its steady gleam shone
through the blackness of the pitiless
storm uud gladdened the father s strain
lug eyes. When the ordeal was ended,
the hoy was so weak from exhaustion
as to be barely able to speak. At the
some time there was no prouder father
nor happier young light keeper on the
Maine coast than those who met on the
storm swept ledge of Saddleback that
day. Kirk Munroe in Soribner'a.
Tbo Maaufaoturo of Paraffln.
Paraffin is one of the most valuable
produota of petroleum, and ItsmannfaO'
ture has been brought to saoh perfection
that it is soaroely possible to Improve
upon it. By the most approved processes
the wax is redistilled for the purpose
ol reducing to the desired gravity and
crystallizing the wax. Then the oil is
frozen by processes similar to those em
ployed for produolng artificial ice. The
apparatus for this work is of the most
complete and soientiflo construction.
Enormously powerful pumps force the
frozen oil into Alter presses and convert
the wax into a solid cake. The uses of
paraffin are manifold, and every detail
of its manufacture is of the greatest in

Managua
Managnn seems to have been made
the capital of Nicaragua because tho two
principal cities, Leon and Granada,
wore always fighting for tho honor.
Leon approaches the most closely to the
true metropolitan character. It covers a
wide extent of oountry. Its publio
buildings lire admittedly the finest in '
Central A:n rica, and, besides showing
a greater variety of race in its inhabit-'-ants,
it is the nbode of the old aristoc
racy. Then it has gone in for progress
and education, and though it strikes one
as a triflo incongruous to see even a rail
way station in a place like this, to say
nothing of the other adjuncts of civili
zation, there is no blinking the foot
that these same adjuncts are thero, and
that they represent an advance. And
the cathedral of cnt stone is a magnifi
eent structure, covering an entire square,
and fronting the whole width of the
grand plaza.

A Story of Olo Bull.
A curious tale of Olo Bull is told in
a recent book on violins and violinists.
It seems that in 1881, being then 81
years of age, the famous violinist wan
dered to Paris. The cholera was raging
and Malibran singing. Ho went to bear ,
her, and his landlord decamped with
his possessions, inolnding his violin.
He was speedily reduoed to extremity.
Daring the last dinner that he was able--to
pay for he made the acquaintance of
a remarakblo man. To this stranger
Ole Bull oonfided his miseries. At the
conclusion the stranger said abruptly,
"Well, I will do something for yon if
yon have courage and 6 franca" "t
have both," said Bull. "Then got tc,
Frasoati's tonight at 10 o'olock, pass
through the first room, go into the sec
ond, where they play rouge et noir, and
when a new taille begins, put yonr S
franoa on rouge and leave it there."
Boll did as directed, and when his 6
franoa had become 400 took them np
after an episode with a woman who at
tempted to take them. Red continued
to win, and had be left his money longer
he would have won an independent stun.
The stranger, who was present at his el
bow, was Vidooq, the French deteotive,
already a European celobrity.

In Westminster abbey, in the west
aisle, between the monuments of those
two great men Warren Hastings and
Richard Cobdcn, is one of Jonas Han
way, whose chief claim to fame is that
be was the first man in England who
carried an umbrella. It is not probable,
though, that this is the reason why he
was buried in the abbey, since be was
also famous in his day as a traveler and
a philanthropist He journeyed much
in the east, and wrote a most interest
ing account of his life there. Afterward
he came home, and, making a tour of
England, wrote so dull a book about it
that it drew from the celebrated Dr.
Johnson the characteristic remark that
"Jonas ucquired some reputation by
traveling abroad and lost it all by trav
eling at home." Max Bennett Thrash- -er
