Out of 100 manuscripts received during lishing firm 62 were novels. case 51 out of 100 manuscripts submit- ted during three weeks were novels. Sometimes the percentage of novels will reach as high as 7'5; and the assortment of volumes is so large that hundreds of them enjoy but a very limited circula- tion, many a so-called popular writer netting not over $25 or $50 for wear of brain and pen. when the demand for solid facts and profitable truths is very large there are known to be based on the author’s imagination; the only feasible explana~ tion of this phenomenon may be found in the statement that the most telling hits are made through the medium of fictitious narrative; a well designed and sharp points, radiant with advantageous suggestions and rich in nuggets of com- mon sense, is one of the most potent methods of driving truths home into hearts which might otherwise enjoy slight rations of this kind of diet; with some patients mental stimulants must able. . But a most unhealthy diet is one which spending of hours in the reading of nov- el trash, hurriedly devouring a cheap story for the more sake of finding “how it comes out,”vis worse than so many hours of dead sleep; and the recreation has not the slightest excuse unless it be that thereby the reader is kept out of mischief or a. still more harmful waste of time.——Clinton Item. BRYANT’S MARRIAGE. It Was an Ideal Union Between the Poet and His “'ife. Allusion has already been made to his marriage. None could have been hap- pier, ne union more nearly an ideal one. Miss Fanny Fairchild was a young lady whose parents lived on the Seekonk, a steam tributary to the Green River, not far from Great Barrington. ~ « Early left an orphan, she made her home alternately with her married sis- ters in that place, and it was there that Bryant met her. Charming in person, sweet in disposition, lovely in character, she drew him to her through his sympa~ thy with her orphanage. his admiration of her beauty, and his appreciation of her worth. For 45 years she was the stay and blessing of his life. What that marriage was to him they knew bebt - who knew him best. Reserved on the subject to the world at large, he allowed only those who were nearest him to know the won- derful depth and tenderness of his af- fection. their dependence mutual. He said at her death: “I never wrote a poem that I did not repeat it to her and take her judgment upon it. I found its success with the public to be precisely in proportion to the impression it made upon her.” A dear friend of them both has said: “The union between Mr. and Mrs. Bryant was a poem of the tenderest rhythm. Any of us who remember Mr.‘ Bryant’s voice when he said ‘Frances’ will join in his hope that. she kept the same beloved name in heaven. I re» member alluding to those exquisite lines jThe Future Life,’ to Mrs. Bryant, and her replying: “ ‘Oh, my dear, I am always very sor- ry for any one who sees me after read- ing those lines, they must be so disap- pointed.’ "Beatrice and Laura. have not re- ceived such tributes from their poets, for Mrs. Bryant’s husband was her poet and lover at seventy and seventeen.”— Century. A Compromise. Prosecuting Attorney John T. Dare and opposing counsel exchanged a few hot words yesterday morning. “Mr. Dare, sit down,” O‘Q'ired Judge Joachimsen. “Your honor, I prefer to'attend to my1 duties on my feet, as a respectful at- torney should," replied Dare. "Mr. Dare, sit down!” shouted the judge, now thoroughly angry, and Mr. Dare saw that it was necessary to hedge a little to bolster his bluff. “Your honor, I don’t know why I should be singled out,” said Dare, “and, I must therefore decline to sit down. I ' would, however, obey , a general order for every one in the court room to be seated,” he suggested by way of a com- promise, though he was the only one in the court men who was standing. “Everybody sit down!” roared the judge, who had been bluffiing himself and was only too glad to accept the com- promise. Mr. Dare took his seat respect- fully and the business of the court pro- ceeded harmoniously.—-San Francisco Post. . . No Deadhead Seeds this Year. The usual general distribution of seeds by the Agricultural Department will not take place next year. An opinion was given by Attorney-General Onley some time ago'that as the law provided 5 for furnishing rare seeds for scientific purposes, Secretary Morton was not com polled to expend the appropriation made I _in distributing common seeds. Secre- tary Merton has always opposed the general free seed distribution, which has become one of the regular duties of the . Agricultural. Department and of Con. , gressmen, and under the‘authority of i the Attorney-Gegeyjal’s opinion during ; this fiscal year he will inauguratgra re- . form and supply iro£seeds save forscien tine purposes.
