DRAMA AND LITERATURE.
Hii
Their
DMtMtlim ud the Relation of
the One to the Other.
The painters have long protested
against any judgment ot their work
in accordance with the principles of
another art, and at last they have
succeeded in convincing the more
open minded of us that what is of
prime importance in a picture is the i
way in which it is painted ami that I
its merely literary merit is quite j
secondary. They are not unreason I
able when they insist that the chief ■
duty of a picture is to represent the j
visible world, not to point a moral
or adorn a tale, and that in the ap-
preciation of n picture wo must
weigh first of all its pictorial beauty,
Nor are the sculptors asking t«x> |
much when iu a statuo they want |
us to oonsider chiefly its plastic ;
beauty.
Now, the orator and thednirnatist j
ask for themselves what has been
granted the painter and the sculptor
—they request that an oration or a
drama shall be judged not as litera-
ture only, but also in accordance
with the principles of its own art,
and here the literary critic is even
less willing to yield. He may ac-
knowledge his own ignorance of
perspective and of pigments, of
composition and of modeling; lie
may confess that here the painter
and the sculptor have him at a <lirf
advantage, but he is not ready to
admit that he is not to apply his
own standards to the works of the
orator and of the dramatist.
On the contrary, he maintains
that the speech and the play, if they
belong to literature at all, are, by
that very fact, absolutely within the
province of the literary critic. He
cannot eee why that which the ora-
tor and the dramatist may writois
not to be read and criticised exactly
as that which is written by the riov
elist and the essayist and the poet.
Indeed it is almost a misrepresenta-
tion of the literary critic's attitude
to suggest that he has need to main-
tain this position, for it is rarely
even hinted to him that he is not
fully justified in employing the
same tests in every department of
literature.
Yet nothing ought to be clearer
than the distinction between the
written word and the spoken, be-
tween the literature which is ad
dressed to the oye alone and that
which is intended primarily for the
ear and only secondarily for the
eye. It is the difference between
words written once for all and
words first g])oken and then written,
or at least written so that they may
bespoken. When this distinction is
seized, it follows that oral discourse
Is not necessarily to be measured on
the same scale as written discourse.
It follows also that the speech and
the play may be vory good indeed,
each in its kind, although they may
fail to attain the standard of strictly
literary merit which we should do
mend in an essay, a story or a
poem.—Professor Brander Mat-
thews in Forum.

Th« Cnrl; H»ir«d Juror.
It is not generally known that
there is a well defined prejudice
against enrly haired men when it
comes to choosing a jury to try
criminal cases. The prejudice, when
it Is manifested, comes from the de-
fense. When asked to explain the
objection to curly haired men, n
prominent practitioner said: "When
I was just starting, my legal mentor
inculcated that idea in me. He said
that curly haired men had almost
invariably been tho pampered dar-
lings of their parents, and in thoir
youth had been so used to having
their own way that they had come
to believe that everybody on earth
was wrong except themselves. In
this way the seeds of opposition
were sown, and when they grow
older they make it a point to disa-
gree With everybody and every-
thing. If everybody else on the
Jury votes for acquittal, they vote
for conviction as a matter of course.
They live on combat and are as stub
born as the days are long. A curly
haired man never gets on the jury
when I am defending a man if 1 can
see him in time. "—New Orleans

What She Coet.
On the occasion of his golden
wedding a methodical English bus
band figured up from his carefully
kept accounts what his wife had
cost him. He had an assured income
of |2,G00 a year throughout his life.
Winning his wife, what with pres-
ents, engagement ring and extra ex
penditure on his own personal adorn
ment, cost him f500. Her share of
the household expenses was $R25 a
year. Her clothing and linen cost
1250 yearly. Presents, medical at-
tendance, amusements and summer
excursions amounted for her share
to $450annually. He therefore spent
for her in GO years if CO, <50.
