It is ever instructive and edifying to trace the stages of critical taste and growth in ourselves and others. How few of us, well rid of early enthusiasms and come to the age of unerring discern ment, can look backward without morti- fying memories of incense offered to false gods. To recite but the common experience, there were Lord Byron and Bulwer Lytton. The golden hours are gone, and one knows better now. Hugo, too—even Fenimore Cooper. The spell is broke, the charm is flown. Sooner or later we all escape these crudities. Life opens new for us, windows are swung wide. mountains shrink to hills, and the of our youthful conceit is only a pre- tender blowing a penny whistle. [t is this stage of our progress, with the f of illusion lifted, that we begin to pro- ceed more cautiously.

Still, after all is said, for persistent ceses of insomnia we recommend the suf- ferer to try the soporific influence of the reading room. At first he may be distracted by the low buzz of conversation conducted by per- sons who come to discuss light litera- ture and the weather. It may even be that the art of dusting books by vigor- ously banging them together will in prac- tice impinge upon an ear morbidly alert to necessary noises.
