M. Delisle points out that the wood-pulp paper now in general use ig made by the aid of such powerful acids and ts so filmsy that time, along with even the most careful handling, will bring on gure and rapid decay. If this be true, end it probably is true, it will be well for the makers of gopd books--such books as ought to last and be cherished in future years, not only by antiquarians as relics but by book lovers as good literature—to ensure the printing of their volumes on the best of | fading | Clarks" paper, such as used to be made from linen rags, and which jasts, with little sign of deterioration, for centuries. Of course, in this age of cheap printing, with the excel- lent facilities for reproducing editions of works, there is no prospect that anything worth saving will be lost. ‘The true classics of the world will be spared from this destruction by an automatic pro- cess of selection and re-editing, and even if jom of | i Delisie’s fears prove true, the world will lose nothing of literary material through the use of cheap, perishable papers. Yet there is a charm about a good old book— and these two qualities are not necessarily synonymous—that can never be found in @ reproduction. The absorbent mind of the reader may be satisfied by reprints and duplicated editions, but the fine fiber of the soul of the antiquary—the true descendant of Dominie Sampson—can never thrill with the same exquisite pleasure over a replica with which it is suffused by the sight and touch of a genuine first edition. The same is true of old books as of original paintings, and no amount of mechanical art and pre- cise skill can give to the reproduction the ineffable charm of the first product of the artist's inspiration. ——~+2__—_—. Considerable controversy has arisen in New York over the maintenance of the people's music classes at Cooper Union, and it develops that few New Yorkers are aware of the existence of these refining agencies among the working people of the great commercial metropolis. Mr. Frank Damrosch, in his cepacity of director of the People’s Choral Union, has written an open letter explaining the work that has been undertaken and carried on among the humbler lovers of music. He points out that great strides toward refinement can be made by the organization of singing classes among the common people, not sarily artists nor yet very proficient in vocal musical expression. It is certainly true that there is a vast element of re- finement in music that cannot be found in ary other of the talents of man. Working people—that is, true self-supporting, honest working people—do not, as Mr. Damrosch points out, want charity. They want di- version, elevation. There is a large class of such citizens in every community who are perfectly willing to pay the small fees such as in New York are charged for the maintenance of these singing classes, and it would be a good thing for the republic and better for the people themselves if mere attention were directed along these lines in the future. It és a rest such as can ceme from no other source for the hired toilers to assemble pefiodically and voice their souls in song—songs of simple melody and refined sentiments—without the hin- drances of large orchestras or too much affectation toward the higher schools of music. Flexibility of the African voice end the readiness and eagerness of the colored population of America to sing while working, have given a peculiar flavor to the lower classes of this country in the south, and travelers from abroad have noticed frequentiy the attractively soft at- mosphere through the former slave states that has resulted among the ‘working classes from this tendency to sing in the midst of labor. The old plantation songs, the cotton-field refrains, the tobacco-fac- tory ditties that have become famous through the north, should not be allowed to be mere relics and memories of other days. America could have no better reputation in the family of nations than that of the Land of the Singing People and this can be accomplished by certain diligence in the formation of these large, unpretentious organizations among the working-classes in the communit - As Governor Oates h: incre: d the tax rate of Alabama without consulting Cap- ain Kolb it may be taken for granted that » gubernatorial partnership scheme has been formally abandoned.
