Philadelphia Telegraph. Stagnation Hurts Tradt. European shipping companies are suffering severely because trade and traffic in the Levant and on the far eastern lines are almost at a standstill. The Majority Is Never Right? The majority 1b never . right Never, ! say. This Is one of those society lies which a free, thinking man tnut rebel against. , Who are they that make up the majority of a country's inhabitants? Are they the wise or the Ignorant? I believe that we must agree that the Ignorant are overwhelm ingly in the majority everywhere on the wide earth. But it is never right that the ignorant should rule over the intelligent. Ilenrik Ibseu. Habit Hard to Overcome. Many people find it Impossible to get over the habit of adulterating the truth which thev use. HONORED BY FRENCH ACADEMY Louis Frechette, the bard of French Canada, has been named as laiireate of the French acade my. While a most unusual honor, particularly since its recipient is a resident of this conti nent, it adds nothing to --the distinction that is universally accorded Dr. Frechette as the last of that brilliant group of poets and novelists who have made French Canada and the simple life of the 'habitant known to the world. Of this group, Frechette and Drummoud wee undoubt edly the leaders, although Gaspe with his "Les Anciens Canadiens," Mannette and Kouthier have -'all made enviable names in the world's literature. Dr. Frechette was bom in Quebec a half century ago, and was originally intended for the law. He abandoned that dry profession, how: 'ever, and after a five years' residence in Chicago, he returned to Quebec and plunged into politics. For a few years he was a member of the Dominion .parliament, but politics, too, failed to hold his fancy and went over to Mon treal and to literature. A legislative clerkship furnished him with a modest livelihood until the quaint charm and the charming revelations of life in, French Canada made him independent. The place he occupies in the field of literature is peculiarly his own, and the habitant could have no more gently sympathetic chronicler. ' Honors have come to the poet from many countries before this later trib-' ute of the academy. He was elected a knight of the French Legion of Honor nearly SO years ago, when two of his books were crowned by the Immortals. jHe has been given many high orders and, decorations by "the rulers of Great ;Britain and other countries, and he is accounted a member of many learned societies. He was lately president of the Koyal Society of Canada. A Few Suggestions. "There is fretfulness, 1 a mizzling, drizzliug ' rain of discomforting re mark; there is grumbling, a northeast snowstorm that, never clears ; there Is scolding, the thunder storm with light ning and hail. All these are worse than useless; they are positive sins by whomsoever indulged sins as great and real as many that are shuddered at in polite society. All these are for the most part but the. venting on our fellow beings o morbid feelings re sulting from dyspepsia, overtaxed nerves or general 111 health." Mrs. Beecher Stowe. Professor's Sarcasm. Prof. Jowett's comments on the young men of Balliol, - Oxford, ; often took the form of crushing sarcasms. "The college, Mr. X, thinks highly 1, of you," he once said; "perhaps toci highly; but not half so highly, I aaj sure, a yoa think of yourself." . Why Not? Among the oddest personals ever in serted in the society column was one that appeared in a paper published in an eastern town. It reads as follows: "Mrs. Coulter, being confined to her bed by illness, will not be at home 'next Thursday, as usual." Harper's Weekly. Might Bo Wors. The - Boss (angrily) "Look herow James, I have been ringing an how and you've only Just cdkne." OfOo Boy! "Well, don't get fussy about it IC LI hadn't come now 70a -might have kept on ringing for another - hour." Seek to Revive Old Industry. A thousand mulberry trees have been planted at Seville, Spain, in an attempt to revive the silk industry, for which the city was once famous,' Would Be Easier for tho Camel. "I wish." said the bachelor waowa trying to thread a needle, "that there; was a camel here. . I'd tie this thread) to bis tail and drive him through." i Kansas City Times, , 'V
