BEST SELLEHS AND BEST SELLERS. "I never read best sellers," says the high-brow when he is asked whether he has read this or that recently published bcok of wide circulation. The tone in which this rejoinder is delivered is supposed to make the unfortunate victim of it feel that It is the best not to read books which, have a wide circulation. From remarks recently made before the convention of the American Library association it seems, however, as if the high-brow is not altogether justified in disposing so easily of the matter. It was brought out at this convention that even among best sellers there are distinct classes, and that a wide sale of a "book is not necessarily a sign that it is trash, as is commonly supposed in high-brow circles. It was admitted that of course there are best eellers which will not live beyond the passing moment, and the sales of these book3 often reach into the millions. They make a wide appeal, they live their Utile day, and then they are gene. One of our Amer lean writers who has not been writing more than a few years, boasts of a sale of 7,500,000 copies; and this figure reached by Harold Bell Wright is exceeded by

that of Gene Stratton Porter, whose total sales amounts to more than 8,000,000 copies. With all due credit to these passing fancies on the book shelves it must not be forgotten, however, that Mark Twain's sales during the four years just passed reached 750,000 copies a year; and that Kipling sold to the extent of 2,000,000 copies last year. In 1920 Rudyard Kipling's sales were ten times as great as they were in 190S; and if this writer should lay down his pen today, his bcok3 would go on selling; the demand for them is not a transient one, nor is it artificially created by advertising. Joseph C?onrad's sales were thirty-six times as great last year as they were in 1911; surely this writer does not write merely for the moment. From the generous sale of recent book3 by American novelists It is safe to conclude that the best seller in fiction is not to be taken so lightly as it was years ago, and as it still is by some. We have put on the best seller list recently some distinctive contributions to American literature. It is no linger possible to put aside a book as not wortji reading merely because a lot of people want to read It.

ARE YOU EDUCATED! It seems to be about time that we had a restatement of our definition of education. We are demanding things of the person we call educated which we may have no right to demand cf him. . The tendency to look on the educated as a superintellectual teems to be a hang-over from t he days when Oliver Goldsmith modestly confessed to a yeaning "amidst the swains to show my book-learned skill;" when he pictured the rustics rau&ed around lhj village school master discoursing in "wordo cf learned length and thundering sound: And still they gazed, and still the wonder grew that one small head could carry all he knew." The mini total of things to be known has increased many hundredfold since those days, so that even Goldsmith's village master might be considered as nothing remarkable. From this great store of knowledge the schools pick out certain things which are worth knowing and attempt to Impart this knowledge to boys and girls. We can remember only a small part of what is thus learned, and the chances are that when we meet someone who has remembered the same things which we have remembered we call him educated. This, of course, is wrong. Some of us may know things which we did net learn In school, it is conceivable that a man may be a most excellent teacher in some line without having heard of EH Whitney, and it also is conceivable that one may be able to answer all of the Edison questions and .si ill be a failure as a teacher.

VANISHING POMP OF ROYALTY. The visit of the Princess Fatima cf Afghanistan to the white house attracted attention principally on account of the gorgeousness of her costume. In addition to ether precious ornaments, she wore a sapphire in her nose and her clothing was brilliant with color. As one of the few survivors of the day when royalty ruled most of the world with pomp and ceremony, the princess is interesting; but the interest In her is hardly different from that which one would take in any other useless curiosity. Afghanistan and Thibet are about the most reactionary countries in the world. Frcm nowhere, else could one expect rulers to come who, while supposedly amenable to the civilizing influence of the white nations, would indulge In such childish love of show as that exhibited by the Afghan princess in wearing a gem stuck in her nose. But not even Afghanistan and Thibet will be able to withstand for many more years the sentiment which is sweeping the world in favor of doing away with royalty and their geegaws and substituting in their place rulers chosen by vcte of the people and obedient to the people's will.

A CITICAGO newspaper photographer was sent to get a photograph of a beach beauty and eloped with her. The city editor no doubt will accept this as proof of the young man's ability to snap the subject.

WHEN WE have adopted the suggestion of a judge that we have a matrimonial course In the schools, old maids and bachelors will be looked upon as behind In their studies.

WISCONSIN FARMERS have sent an invitation to a "rain maker" who is said to have Induced moisture to precipitate in Canada. Evidently there Is one "dry" law violator who is not without supporters.

THE foreign nation that Is not experiencing a "crisis" at present is behind the fashion.
