HaVe slowly come to the conclusion that the publishing business Is . i ii r h -vastly overdone,- and has become - a menace to tne memai and moral health of a large section of the reading community. ; Mere bookishness is a bad sign in itself, but it is worse yet in the "child. During the last five years I have been trying to keep tab on the most popular books issued from the American press, ana them. Almost all deal wxui ante-nuptial love, and under the treatment or tnese merateuis n , "r"" a strange .and -abnormal thing, essentially unnatural even when it is not lm- . ' ' Psychology is now coming to understand something about the normal senti "Jments connected with the attraction of the senses, and the more It knows ine more monstrous does the romantic life of our days appear. One or tne oesi signs of the times is that men and even women are coming to regard it as a . falsetto thing and have one standard by which to judge literature and anotner to act by. , - ' Juvenile literature has also had an enormous recent development ana nas certain abnormalities. "Water-Babies," "Alice in Wonderjand neither wp -.sent the true child nor appeal to real interest, but both are like confectionery and are not mental food. . .. What I plead for today is inspection and even censorsnip, even m J"c " nile department of our public libraries. The staple of "reading for adolescence ,l "-should" be the roots of science, literature, and history, these three, and now it is i -possible to select in epitome nearly all that is classic in literature, important in -."history or essential and new in scence served up in good pedagogic form ror ;.;(Jthe. ch;id.: , . . ... v. - .. ; . pai'T,n 3t ,v aTr iictiTirt th?ncr from readme for real m- teres.t, and there is only one standard icauiug ui iuc uuug, auu lusi ia uiuiai iuiiiiuicuivuv. -. be performed by it; and no child should satisfy the requirements of the school law, until his mmd has been at least exposed to the great story books that un derlie the literature of the great races. By story telling and by judicious se lections of, reading this can be done. The craze for modernity and the interest In the latest novel as such is itself a sign of mental degeneracy. " ; . Wte Finding! qf -U'-;r: Paul Jones' Body r By General Horace HE various developments in formed a succession- of t 'positive. from the location DUt l was not preparea ior tne rbuia.rn.auit! auiatj .ix nv our. discoveries comported with the historical records of his sick- '' s'ness and death: ; ' " ,Si Most wonderful'of all i General DiVCapitan with the assistance a fibrous ;tissue where the left lung had been affected confirming our knowieago that Jones suffered from bronchial pneumonia. The viscera were in perfect preservation arid there were shown all the symptoms of dropsy, a disease that we know he had, and most strikingly of all, the symptoms of nephritis, the disease i from; which he died. v That these symptoms should be so marked, or indeed marked at all in a body from which life had passed 113 years before, ras nothing short of amazing. ' I was also amazed when on opening the casket and removing the linen winding sheet, which, by the way, was in excellent preservation, to observe fiow closely the countenance comported with the bust of Houdin which the anthropologists had to guide them. The face was a bit shrunken over the cheekbones, but in no spot did the measurements of the body differ from those of the mask by over two millimeters. The resemblance was perfect, even to the disfigured lobe of the left ear. The teeth were as we know them to have been in the Admiral's latter days, and the hair was brown tinged with gray. , A remembrance of Paul Jones's career as a dandy was given in the fancy shirt with its ruffles and pleats. It bore the mark "J." There was tinfoil around his hands and face, and around the body hay, evidently placed there to prevent the body from being disturbed in its casket on the voyage to this coun try, which the embalmers probably expected it would take. There were five caskets, all of them of lead, In the place we found the ?body. Four of them had name plates. This one had none. It was a mummy 'shaped casket, round over the place for the head, and displayed fine ornamental work. he Search For Men. ; ; JBy Herbertjackson Hapgood. I HREE , types of ability are portant positions in the business world the ability to organize,' direct, and manage; the ability to create new markets, either by advertising or personal arguments; and the ability to supervise detail. work and devise labor and time saving devices. "For these abilities employers are willing to pay salaries that formerly would have been considered fabulous. It is the possession or lack of one "ior all of thee types which divides men into three great classes. At one extreme are the extraordinary, capable executives, salesmen, and detail men; -at the other "extreme men who possess nona of these qualifications, but are : fitted to do manual labor or automatically perform routine clerical duties. Be- tween them comes a large class the mediocre man, too proud to work with nis hands, and with only a limited amount of executive, selling, or detailing i- ability. . The , question of salary becomes a secondary consideration when em ployers see the man that they want! "We do not care how much we pay," - said the president of a million-dollar manufacturing company, "provided we - can get a man who can manage our sales department as it should be managed and show the right results." The one great ever-crying demand is for results; --expensive machinery is purchased and installed, only to be thrown aside for -something better. Old methods pass quicker than the years, and along with the old methods the old men. The business of a firm expands at an alarming rate, and the older men are forced into retirement nowadays at an age when formerly they would have been considered In their prime. The day when a man could stand on his past record is gone. Results alone count. When a man cannot produce, the. business world quickly demands-some one In his place. Today is the day of the young man. The pendulum of business demand has swung from one extreme to the other. The young man of thirty now holds the ' position formerly held only by a man in his sixties. The energy, push, and determination of the young man are given great preponderance over the con- 6ervatism and experience of the older man. A few years more will undoubtedly . place a man's maximum earning ability five to ten years farther along in life than is considered today. Harper's Magazine.

Numbers of merchants called on Dr. White to ask his intercession in the amelioration of the restrictions impos ed against freight by towns like Lake Charles, which desire no intercourse with New Orleans.

TV0 m H A4 k Railway J Wards At Spencer ONE ENGINEER KILLED AT BIS POST While Shifting in the Southern Yards ui- oaiisDury monaay Night, Engi neer Ed Bullock Was Instantly Killed, His, Body Being CmsheJ Between the Tender of His Engill and That of a"Wfld Engine Ftoai the Spencer Shops. 4 Salisbury, N.

Bullock, in charge of the South era's night shifting crew -in the yards here, was instantly killed shortly afte,. 10 o'clock Monday night at Hender-4 son s crossing between Salisbury and Spencer, his body beins crushed be tween the tender of his engine and a wild engine, running at a speed of 65 of 70 miles an hour. Engineer Bullock was in the act of jumping to save his life when he lost it. The fireman, a white man named Freeman, jumped and escaped, with only slight bruises. Two engines and three freight cars were demolished, the track considera bly torn up, and traffic suspended for for more, than two hours. Engineer Bullock, with his engine and three freight cars, was backing from the Salisbury depot toward Spen- cer at a moderate rate of speed. A wild engine was seen approaching at a high speed from the "South" yard at Spencer. Fireman Freeman jumped. When Engineer Bullock realized the danger, he also jumped, but was- too late.
