We are sorry for this, since when that paragraph reached the office of the Scottish Leader, published in Glasgow, the editor thereof, who is one of those Scotchmen who only comprehend a joke after a surgical operation has been performed to get it through their skulls, was moved to fury. H now declares in a savage leader that this thought represents American sentiment, and that to us “Matthew Arnold will seem to have been a poor creature and his life a failure because he died a poor man.” The Scottish Leader's noble view is this: “But the circumstance that he never lent his fine gifts to that sordid business of money-grubbing which absorbs much of the energy of some even among those who are his’ intellectual compeers, is, to our thinking, one of the facts honor.” . . . that do his memory most We are pleased to inform our contemporary that its masterly argument has quite brought us around to that way of thinking; but we warn the Leader that we thought that way all the time, nevertheless.

FRESH AIR Before S you recline upon your veranda, comfortable-reader, and feel the cool air coming over the grass or water, kindly allow your benevolent fancy to wander through the hot slums of New York. Thousands of children are having their vitality exhausted by the foul air and odors they are forced to breathe. Remember that every three dollars you send to this fund will take one of those panting little unfortunates from the baking city and set him down in the country for a fortnight of fresh life. One contributor to the fund drops thus into poetry : To wear a pair of kids? To air a pair of kids? Conscience hath conquered style, I'll do as conscience bids, And send to Lire six dolls.
