POE I OF PESSIMISM

Maurice Maeterlinck, the pessimistic
Belgian poet, has again disturbed the
literary field with a new work which
has just been done into English. The
title of the volume is “The Treasures
of the Humble,” and it is a collection
Os essays in which he unfolds his pecul
iar philosophical theories.
For so young a writer—he is only 85
—Maeterlinck has produced a profound
impression onthe literature of the day.
At first he was hailed as “a new Shakes
peare” by indiscreet critics, and this
handicap nearly obscured him in the
beginning. But he has lived down this
accusation. He has successfully proved
that he is no bhakespeare. Then he was
compared to Ibsen, but he has out-Ib
sened Ibsen, ’so the litterateurs have
finally become satisfied to accept, him
as an original personality and have de-

voted their time to searching for rhyme
or reason in his weird, somber, welsh
rabbit before bedtime effusions. If they
could agree as to just what Maeterlinck
does mean or if they would all admit
that he means nothing at all, then the
Maeterlinck fad would go by the board.
But they do not agree, and so he keeps
on writing plays which cannot be play
ed and poetry which is not poetry at
all, and making both more mysterious
and lugubrious than ever.
Although a poet, most of his work
has been in the form of dramatic prose.
What little poetry he has written is
patterned something on the Walt Whit
man order. His tragedies have been
given up as unpresentable on the stage.
Even the people who had read the book
could see no meaning in Mr. Tree’s in
terpretation of “The Princess Maleinr ’"
Maeterlinck is a Belgian of burgher
stock and was educated for the bar with
his brother, who is a lawyer. But a
legal career was too materialistic fcr
Maurice, who is a born dreamer, so ho
gave it up. He might have been just, an
ordinary ne’er do well had he not met
Villiers de i’lle Adam, then as un
known to fame as himself. But Villiers
spurred him on to literary effort, be
came his guide and mentor, and now
they are both famous.
Paul Verlaine.
Verlaine is the master of lyric exores
sion, using every delicate means in or
der to express every shadow of his senti
ment and to excite by harmonious
sounds tbe nervous strings of the mod

and consoles. It is a humiliation to any
proud woman that the man of her choice
should prove at last a failure broken in
purse and in spirit. Back of all business
failures lies ill-health. No man who is suf
fering from brain fag, nervous prostration
and debility, due to impure blood and a dis
ordered digestion can long succeed in busi
ness. Every woman should make it her
duty to see that her husband takes proper
care of his health.
The daest medicine in all the world for
hard-worked business men is Dr. Pierce’s
Golden Medical Discovery. It is medicine
for both body and mind. It makes the di
gestion good, the liver active, and the appe
tite keen. It fills the blood with the life
giving elements that build new tissues. It
invigorates and purifies. It is the one great
blood-maker and flesh-builder. There’s
nothing in the market “just as good.”
A. L. Purdy, Esq., of Otterpond. Caldwell Co.,
Ky„ writes: “I herewith inclose 31 one-cent
stamps to pay postage on one of your cloth-bound
Medical Advisers. I know your book to be a good
one. I had suffered seven years with liver com-
Elaint when I read about your * Golden Medical
dscovery' in one of your books. After using a
few bottles of the ' Discovery ’ and three vials of
the ‘Pleasant Pellets’ I was completely cured.”
One copy of a good, practical, medical
work is worth more in a home than a thous
and works of fiction. Dr. Pierce’s Com
mon Sense. Medical Adviser is the best
home medical book extant. It contains
1,008 pages and three hundred illustrations
and is written in plain, everyday language
that any one may understand. Over a mil
lion women own copies of it and 680,000
of them paid $1.50 each for their copies.
A new and large edition will be given away
absolutely free. If you want a copy in a
paper cover, send twenty-one one-cent
stamps, to cover cost of mailing only, to

tion, No. 663 Main Street, Buffalo, N. V.
If you desire a fine French cloth binding,

why the “young ones” considered him
their leader and why he was called the
first symbolist. The "melodious, sug
gestive words, the strange, symbolic
pictures, arouse in the sonl of the read
er the impression which .the poet
wishes to give him. “11 pleure dans
moncceur, comme il pleut sur laville, ”
says thq poet, and the use of assonance
and alliteration (“pleure,” “pleut”)
gives to the l ; nes pleasing harmony and
to the picture charm and color. To move
the sensitive soul of the listener by the
music of the rhyme, such is Verlaine’s
aim.
When Leconte de Lisle died, one of
the Parisian reviews asked the literati
and artists who, after the author of
“Poemes Barberes, ” was worthy to
take up the national lyre. The votes
were all for Verlaine. The public of
the boulevards was astonished at such
an artistic plebiscitum. The new poet
laureate was so little known. Never
theless many lovers of poetry loved and
admired him. But how many lovers of
poetry are there?
Paul Verlaine died Jan. 9, 1896, and
was buried two days later in Clichy
cemetery. All the artistic and literary
youth of Paris followed his coffin. Sev
eral eminent literati spoke at his grave.
Verlaine never soiled himself with a
falsehood, nor did he humiliate himself
by seeking the applause of the multi
tude. His lyre was not for sale.—M. S.

The Editor’s Woes.
A New Jersey suburbanite tells this
one:
There is an editor in our little town
who just for the present wishes he were
somewhere else. Desiring to compli
ment the schoolteachers of the place
and extend the circulation of his news
paper among them, he wrote an elabo
rate article, which he headed, “Pension
a Lot of Our Schoolteachers.” Hethen
continued in an eloquent strain to de
clare that “there are about a dozen of
the best known teachers in our schools
who, because of their long service in
the harness, should be pensioned im
mediately.” Os course the intelligent
compositor got in his work, and as the
old man failed to read his proof he was
horrified to find his paper declaring that
there were a lot of old schoolteachers
in that town who ought to be "poison
ed” immediately. The editor informs
me, with tears in his eyes, that this is
one of those unpleasant episodes which
occur to an editor now and then.—Hard

Mental Maladies.
Within the memory of living men
there were physicians who held the
theory that mental disorders were in
the majority of cases nothing more or
less than viciousness, ugliness, or, to
use their favorite expression, “pure dev
ilishness.” The logical sequence of this
line of reasoning was that the infirmity
was something to be eradicated by chas
tisement given in allopathic doses.
More, than one sufferer has been merci
lessly whipped and many another has
been chained and starved with the view
to exorcise the evil spirit that was pop
ularly supposed to be the cause of all
the trouble. The starvation part of all
the treatment might have given favor
able results, as extreme reduction of the
physical system often removes the clouds
from the mental, but cruelty or brutal
ity is the worst possible remedy for af
flictions of this nature, simply aggra
vating and increasing them without the
faintest hope of benefit. Disturbances of
the psychic half of the human econo
my are even more numerous and impor
tant than those affecting the physical
and material.
One of the misfortunes of patients
who suffer from mental disorders is the
lack of appreciation of the grave nature
of their disease. Even eminent medical
men, especially those who are them
selves in the enjoyment of robust health,
find it difficult to appreciate the more
delicate phases of nervous distress.
Merely a nervous attack means a great
deal more than the average person is
capable of understanding. The horrors
that cluster around even the milder
forms of insanity are such that the
merest shadow of mental disturbance
demands the most thorough and intel
ligent treatment. Ministering to a mind
diseased is a phase of the physician's
work that is too little understood and
receives much less attention than its
importance warrant?. —New York Led
