The question of sequels was under die, mission in a literary getherteg the oth- c.: day, and the consensus of opinion Wile decidedly against thein. It watt even roundly walutulued that fie se- quel had ever been a success from the literary point of view, Some one de- murred and suggested "Paradise Ria gained," but that suggetytion, greeted with a burst of laughter, practically determined the argument. "Paradise Regained" was a, distinct fulling off from "Paradise Lost." It mlgbt even be declared a dignified, dismal failure. No; Milton's sequel was no exception to the rule. If there be a rule,. are there any ex- ceptions that prove it? Stevenson'i "Catriona" was not up to the level of "ICidnaped." Mr. Anthony hope wrote a better book In "The Prisoner of Zen - da" than he did in "Rupert of Heat- zan." Wise authors never undertake sequels. Once upon a time Mr. Rider Haggard was tempted to adventure a sequel to "She," but repented at dis- cretion. It is altogether a different matter when successive boolai include the same chareeter. Thackeray used that trick In "Pendennis" and "The Newcomes," but in no sense is the lat- ter a sequel to the former: In a way Thackeray's novels may be said to constitute a chain right down from "Esmond." The links subsist, but there is no continuity of narrative which defines a sequel proper. He who will may compare the re- spective merits of Zola's "L'Assom- moir" and "Nana." There does not ap- pear to be gnu+h to choose between them, but undoubtedly the earlier book bas been more popular. Zola's habit, as is well known, was to keep the same families in his various treatises, for to him they were specimens of natural history and mightily portentous. Con- trast with Zola our immortal Fielding, who began one of his novels by way of a parody of Richardson. It would be interesting to collect into one volume the stories of the masterpieces. IEa what circumstances were the great books of the world written? Think of Dumas pere and his flr-i of assistants! Well, Pope preceded him and farmed out his translation of Homer. That was a conscienceless thing to do. A. work of art is not a contractor's Job. But then Pope's Homer was not a work of art. But Dumas!

A romantic custom of tate Japanese' is described in the "Kokoro" of Lafcadio Hearn. It is narrated that those who are anxious for the safety of absent ones repair to the mountain of Dake- yama to pe"form a singular rite. There is a shrine at the summit to commemo- rate a princess of antiquity who daily watched hopelessly until she pined and died, when her body was changed into stone. One who loots with the eyes of a believer still sees the princess on Mount Dakeyama in the shape of a perpendicular rock. Before her shrine are heaps of pebbles, and those who ascend to pray for the safe home com- ing of one they love take a pebble awaywith them as a talisman. And when at last reunited with the beloved, another pilgrimage is made to the shrine on Dakeyntna to replace the pebble, Witha handful ofothers, in de- votional gratitude.

He was a real acquisition while ho lusted and gave rise to much good talk, besides an immense quantity of indifferent, which he himself executed—a man of truly wonderful historical memory, which he has tried in really extensive reading and has always lying ready, with this or the other fact, date or anecdote on demand; in other respects constantly definable as the sublime of common- place, not one of whose ideas has the least tincture of greatness or original- ity or any kind of superior merit ex- cept neatness of expression."

A Mean Insinuation. Sir Henry Thompson, who was equal-, ly famous as an author, an artist and a surgeon, was once staying at a country house with another surgeon of great fame, and somehow the talk turned on the number of letters that each re- ceived, When the post arrived only one or two letters came for Sir Elen- ry, while his friend received an im- posing batch. The friend proudly call- ed attention to his mail. "Yes," said Sir Henry, with a twinkle in his eye, "but I see yours are ail iu black edged envelopes." Beyond Doubt.

His name and busi- ness were advertised by Barnum wher- ever the Jenny Lind concerts were ad- vertised, and It dian't cost Genin one penny for all of the advertising that Barnum did for blur. There was no ball in New York big enough to accommodate the crowds which attended the first Concert in this country, so Castle Garden was fitted up for the purpose, and the seats were sold at auction. Now, Genin was an unknown hatter, although be was a good one. He went to the auction sale of seats at Castle Garden and outbid everybody. Ho ran up the price of the first ticket until some of his friends thought he was going crazy and tried to induce him to desist. But Genin was not crazy by any means. He kept on bidding until he finally got the aria ticket for $750. Ho had outbid the rich- est men in New York. The uext day and every day after- ward for many months it was an- nounced that "Genin, the New York hatter, had paid i1750 for the first Jen- ny Lind ticket."

He lutd intended to take the great seal with him, but as he was being rowed from Lambeth to Vaux- hall, where horses were awaiting him, another and better idea occurred to him. Ile would thing the seal into the river, and that would place it once for all out of reach of his enemy. So over- board the seal went, and for some weeks it lay there until by a curious chance it was picked up in a fisher- man's net and restored to the proper custodians. The ludicrous frying pan adventure befell it when in the custody of Lord Brougham. The chancellor had gone to Scotland for a short holiday—seeing that he could not take the seal on the Rhine trip he longed for without put- ting it in commission at great cost to himself—and he was a guest of the dowager Duchess of Bedford at Rotbie- murehus, where he kept his precious sessions together in France—and en- charge In his bedroom.

Lovemaking Begins After the Wedgy ding Bells Have Rung. The word "courtship" has no equiva- lent in the French tongue, because the thing itself does not exist. Stolen tete-u-tetes, even furtive kisses, may, of course, be indulged in; but only un- der a modified chaperonage, the half shut eye of parents or guardians. No young French lady would be permitted, for instance, to undertake a cycling ex- pedition with her future husband. Still less could she take train with him for the purpose of visiting relations in the country were the journey of half an hour's duration only. Lovemaking be- gins with the honeymoon.

This apparently harmless habit, it seems, is likely to cause sciatica lame- ness, chronic numbness, ascending par- alysis, cramps, varicose veins, and other evils. The reason is simple.' The back of the knee it is explained, as well as the front of the elbow and wrist, the groin and the armpit, contains nerves and blood.vessels which are less adequately protected than in other parts of the body the space behind the knee contains two large nerves, a large artery and numer- ous veins and lymphatic glands. It is the pressure of these nerves and vessels which is apt to give rise to the various troubles against which we are heir to. — Harper's Weekly.
