Bryant's Centenary.
The fashionable summer people who
oelehrated Bryant's hundredth birthday
last Angnst have conveyed to the conn*
try a very mixed i'dea of thejime when
the American poet of nature really was
born. The actual date wasNov. 8,.1794;
the place, the little hill town of Cum-
mington, Mass. It Was a mistake to cele-
•brate the centenary nearly three months
before the right time. The reason of it
must have been that the people of Com-
taington and thereabouts feared tho
summer boarders would all be gone if
they waited till Nov. 8 to celebrate.
We can think of no other reason.
The rest of us all over the rest of this
big country, the grown people who love
Bryant's poetry, the school children,
who know more about it often than their
parents do, celebrate Bryant's centenary
just when it comes off.
One of the striking facts about tha
great poet's childhood is that he began to
write verses almost as soon as he could
write at all. When he was 9 years old,
his grandfather gave him ninepence for
writing out the first chapter of Job in
rhyme. Poetry was never sold cheaper
than that. The boy wrote a still longer
poem when he was 9 years old. It was
a description of the distriot school which
he attended. This poem was printed in
the county paper, the Hampshire Gazette, and is still preserved. The bright,
eager, devout boy used to pray with all
his heart that he might be gifted with
such genius as to he able to write poems which would live forever. The
child's prayers were answered, at any
rate. He wrote "Thanatopsis" when ha
was only 17 and "The Waterfowl"
near the same time.
One of Bryant's early ambitions was
to graduate at Yale, but his father was
too poor to send him there. Then an
attempt was made to have him become
a country doctor, but it failed. Nest ha
tried the study of law and hated it so
that he gave it up. Poetry and journalism drew'him irresistibly, and in 1833
he went to New York.
Bryant's place in literature will be
as the poet of nature, and he is the only
distinctive poet of nature since Wordsworth. To the men and women of today
who thoroughly appreciate him he is a
greater than Wordsworth. Had he
lived in England he would undoubtedly have been poet laureate. In a letter
of advice to his brother, who had written some verses on the English skylark,
Bryant said, "Let me counsel yon to
draw your images, in describing nature,
from What you observe around you."
Just so.
Art In Repose.
The statue of General McClellon
lately unveiled at Philadelphia recalls
the question of which is preferable, art
in action or art in respose. The general
is represented as riding off at a brisk
pace. One of the horse's feet is lifted In
the act of stepping. His jaws are apart
as if jerked open by the stiff and heavy
bit. His tail streams ont behind as if
the wind were blowing and the general
were movingrapidly forward against it.
The whole expression of the bronze is
hustle and opposition. That seems to
be the prevailing mental attitude of
modern painters and sculptors, especially those of America. There is very little repose in any of their conceptions.
The effect is at last to tire the beholder.
He thinks in spite of himself how weary
the horse must be of always running
the -Woman of carrying the water jar or
the child, the man of always pointing
with his sword. The most fatiguing of
all perhaps are the poor caryatids who
eternally hold up with their heads the
pillars and cornices of buildings. They
are enough to drive a nervous person
wild at times.
Very different was the art^ of tht
orient. There all is rest. The statues
are not always doing something to tire
themselves out. Buddha, sphinx or
Brahm sit or lie in eternal, brooding repose, like the pyramids. They are unutterably majestic and restful after tha
hustling art of the west. If the idea of
majestic repose could be partially infused into our western art spirit, it
would be better for both artist and people. 	
In Case of Apparent Death.
The new method of Dr. Laborde,
Which consists in making rhythmio trac-,
tion on the tongue to bring about tha
respiratory reflex action, has been tried
a great deal in France in the last two
years in all sorts of cases of asphyxia
by drowning, electric shock, lightning
stroke and the cases of apparent death
in the newly horn. Some 63 cases are
given where patients were recalled to
life by this method, and as it is so simple—using an ordinary tongue, forceps,
such as is on hand during chloroform or
ether inhalation, the tongue is pulled
forward and regular rhythmical movements are given to it—it is proposed to
issue some simple direction that can T»
posted in every hospital and be in the
hands of every midwife or any one who
may be liable to see asphyxia, such ai
those who give anaesthetics.—American
Theropist.

We inaugurate a tremendous Sale for the balance of the month of
November—not because we- are overloaded or overstocked, but because this is one of the methods by which we increase our large trade
at this season of the year. A division of profits with our customers
which results in increased trade for us, and lower prices for them. We
are steady going merchants, giving "value received" to each customer,
and constantly increasing our trade by up to date methods, avoiding,
however, those forms of advertising which stretch the truth to the
point of breaking. Everything will be found in our store exactly as we
represent it, and no salesman is allowed to crowd goods upon you.
