The great novel. the great book of any sort, is no longer being written for exactly the same reason that the Goth- 1c cathedral is no longer being built, not because men have become incapa- ble of it nor because its possibilities are exhausted, but because unforeseen changes in social and economic condi- tions have rendered it impossibleâ€"H. G. Wells. is a single arch bridge of unknown antiquity. The popular legend says that it was built by the devil, and far and near it is known as “the Bridge of Devils” or “the Bridge of the Evil Man.” British antiquarians are united in the belief that it was built by the early monks, but that fact does not affect the popular legend in the least, “Old Harry’s” part in its erection being never-questioned by the inhabitants of Cardinganshire. Grose says that “the bridge is an honor to the hand that built it, Whether that hand he Satan’s or that of some monk.” Bridge of the Evil Man.

Why the Golfer Married. “In Scotland ”’ said an Englishman, “golf is almost a disease. I heard not long ago of an elderly bachelor in Edinburgh who had played golf from his boyhood up. He had never courted John Quincy Adams was said to be so good a reader that no man in his time could read the Bible with such powerful efliect. Mr. Emerson, who heard the ex-president speak when his fine voice was broken by age, records that “the wonders he could achieve with that cracked and disobedient or- gan showed what power might have belonged to it in early manhood.” An Ontor’s Voice. “In the church," says Emerson in his essay on eloquence. “I call him only a good reader who can read sense and poetry into any hymn in the hymn book." The test is a severe one, for there are hymns which are wanting both in sense and poetry. The essayist doubt- less intended to call attention to that charm of a good voice which enchains attention and indicates a rare sensi- bility in the reader. “The voice, like the face, betrays the nature and dis- position and soon indicates what is the range of the speaker’s mind. Many people have no ear for music, but every one has an ear for skillful reading.” The more practical Dr. Johnson could himself devise and not undertake. He once thought of writing a life of Oliver Cromwell. but it is as well perhaps that he changed his mind. His consti- tutional indolence was too great to ad- mit of his undertaking many great lit- erary enterprises, and. unlike Cole- ridge, he was well aware of the fact. He dawdled over his edition 0!
