There Is no close a relation between the wan tonness of tho destroyer nnd tho dark er deeds of th criminal that perhaps ' wo are Justified In keeping a minplclotis watch on any man. woman or child who will destroy plrtntB. books and pictures or throw, stones tit helpless animals. Jfl'fi feHslve aggression that mutilates hhd niaken ugly will trespass on others' enjoyments, rights and properties with but little more development. This Is .Jceen ,partiqtilnrly in the case ot bur- j&lnra. Theso fellows, not content with dripping a house of all they can get, ' not Infrequently destroy whnt they cannot enrry away. Thoy burn papers, tear paintings from their frames, pmnnh furniture, break glnuH and other? ' wlso act like Inctirnato Mends. It might ! not bo bad Idea in case of tho cap- turo ot Ihese hiPn to Impose sentences ; jtrndedfio accord with tho amount of 'damage they had worked.

SURVIVAL OF NEW NOVELS. tcrcnUKA of Iloottf That" Gain Eodar Idc Fnm It Exlremefy Bmtll. It is said that the American publish ers hare In Dresa over two hundred ew novots wnicn aro iiKeiy 10 do - Rued between now nnd the holidays. The statement Is easily credible. In 1800 thoy Jostled 1.118 hovoIb; In 1S91, 1,105; In 1892, 1,102, nnd In 1893, 1,132. This average of three novels put on tho market for ovcry day in tho year In cludes Imported books Issued by Eng lish houses and published In Now York by their resident ngonta, but It docs not includo tho publications of the "minor cheap libraries." Tho English publishers Issue about tho Fame num ber of novels yearly as tho American. In 1S33, an average year, they Issued" 933 new novels and 393 reprints. The Interesting attention of what be comes of all this mass of "literature" Is answered only In part by the five cent counters. Many of theBe books must fall to obtain tho honorable it humiliating ueofulitesa the llvo-cent counters offcra to thoso for whom the dollar sholu-a aro no longer tonablc. ihoy do not circulate nt all. A fow copies nro sont to tho newspapers. Tho author dlntrlhuten complimentary cop ies among hlo acquaintances, nnd he Is fortunato If he flnda even among hl Intimate friends those who can recall tho title of hia work within six months nfter lta publication. That "among nlno Imd If ono bo good thcro'B still ono good In ten" in a comforting thourht. but It hnrdly applies to con temporaneous fiction, for hardly ono In a thousand nnd certainly not ono In ft hundred of tho novels publltdicd stands the only Buro test of merit aa a novel that of survival. Only In raro 'In stances do they outlive their first year. Tho man wbono book actually Uvea ton years may sot hlmnolf down as n genius whother the critics think so or not. Only onco or twice In n generation do writers appear whoc stories havo enough of universal human naturo In them to survive their generation. Aud this is all as It should be. it la vroll enough for the most worthless of all worthless books to be written If IL real ly reprcBentK an naplrutlon to produce something worth tho attention of tho world, but It is better ntlll that swift and inorcifiil oblivion ohould cover fail ure. In novels no In everything else the fittest should ho the survivors. And In the long run they nltvnyu are. JOSEPHINE WAS MERCIFUL. Sliu Tried tn I'r.'vent the ICinvtitliiu of the line 1'i:ii(;htrn.

But other feelings prevailed; tho brothers bad diftered about Luclon's marriage and tho quostion of descent If tho con sular power should become horodltary; the old coolnc&s finally settled down and chilled tho last hopes in the tender hearted advocates for clomoncy. To Josephine's toarful entroatlea for mercy, hor husband replied: "Go away; you're a child; you don't understand publio duties." Dy five It wan known that the duko had arrived at Vln conuoB, and at onco Savary was de spatched to tho city for orders from Murat, the military commandant.
