The appointment of William Tti. Horn-
blower, a New York attorney, »s successor
to Justice Blatchford, is announced. He
is one of the youDgest men ever placed on
the Supreme Cou:t bench, only 42 years
old, but lias already achieved an enviable
reputation in Lis profession. So that a
judicial bent has been given to t“e mind,
if a lawyer is to become a judge the ear
lier he gets into practice on the bench the
better judge he wili make.
AH through our history the most emi
nent names of Federal judges are those
who have been appointed early, and have
served the longest. The mental training
of a judge, r» qmring him to look on all
sides of a suhj ct, is a better education
than can be got in any other way.
It is also conducive to long life, as
judges with their life tenure nearly al
ways pass the limit of three score years
and ten. It is the mental stimulus and
^education that their duties give which
keep judges in office after the time when
they might retire with their salary paid as

LITERARY WORKERS.
[Kate Field’s Washington.]
N a very able and some
what more expended
essay than the maga
zine usually finds space
for, Mr. W. D. Howells
has recently set forth
his views on the prac
tical side of the liter
ary life. He discusses
“The Man of Letters as
a Man of Business,
and comes to the con
elusion that the two
titles cannot fairly be said to go to
gether at all. With this decision few
will venture to dissent, but the
wider conclusion—everywhere obvi
ous throughout the paper—that the
literary life is attended with over
whelming material disadvantages
will bear a little further examination
before accepted as final.
The facts at first seem to support
Howells incontestably. The produc
tion of pure literature is worse paid
than any other art or any profession.
The absurd part of it, moreover, is
that the successful and thoroughly ap
preciated laborer is ofteu the poorest.
It is quite possible for a man to
achieve a National reputation for lit
**rary work and by faithfully devoting
his whole time to it to earn rather less
than a thousand dollars a year with
which to keep the wolf from the door.
When a painter or a sculptor or an
actor is starving it is safe to conclnde
that his work is either intrinsically
bad, or that it does not appeal to the
public.
A poet or a writer of short stories
may have a million readers within the
week, yet be forced to consider with
every meal he orders which dish on
the bill of fare will yield the greatest
amount of nourishment for the small
est outlay.
Is good art possible under such un
favorable conditions?
Well, in every age literary work lias
been pretty equally divided between
those who merely lived for literature
and the unlorcunates who also had to
live by it.
Taking the work of these two cla*s-
as a whole, it cannot be fairly said
that there is a perceptible difference
in the quality. Environment has,
happily, far less influence on the ar
tist than we would naturally suppose.
The desirable station iu life for the
literary worker would seem to be Sol
omon’s happy medium between cark-
iog cares of poverty and the sporific
influences of riches, yetan astonishing
proportion of the greatest literary art
has come from one social extreme or
the other.
You get a finer perspective of life
from the ends of the ladder than from
the middle, and it is open to question
whether the best view is not from the
lowest rounds.
To be moderately hungry once in a
while is certainly more stimulating to
the imagination than to dine out four
times a week.
It being granted, then, that poverty
is the usual reward of the literary
man, what are the compensations
which tempt so many to this hope
lessly huugry calling? It is Idle to
pretend that the summons is entirely
iroui within—that the youth writes
because he has a message to transmit,
aud that he cannot rest till his destiny
is accomplished. A brief experience
with the mail of auy reputable peri
odical will shatter this view forever.
These aspirants who crowd the porches
of the temple—a trite but eminently
nseful figure for describing the litter
on the editor’s desk—are there for
what there is “in it,” to drop from a
classic simile into the vernacular.
They age not disinterested devotees of
an arlf^iut eager strugglers for an ad
vantageous career—a career, more
over, about which most of them have a
fair quantity of accurate information.
A good many of them are there be
cause they feel the excellence of the
artistic life. They want to create
something which their fellows will
admire, in any other art they must
have some technical training to do
this, but the technique of literature is
so variable and indefinite a thing that
they fancy it may be altogether dis
pensed with. Others have won fame
with a first book, and why not they?
To tell the literary aspirant that he
might as well make an impromptu at
tempt at a great picture or a great
opera will not discourage him. He
knows that this is true of ninety-nine
of his fellows, but is he not the hun
dredth man? A certain measure of
fact is on his side. There is no school
that will make the man of letters; no
apprenticeship where he can acquire
his art. The would-be author has the
spark or he has it not. He makes the
attempt to find out in the same spirit
that many a farmer digs from time to
time in his cabbage patch for the min
eral wealth that may be there.
A large compensation for the slen
der rewards of the literary life is its
absolute freedom. Imaginative liter
ature can be produced as well at one
place as another. The artist chooses
his conditions—within the limita
tions of his income—and can taunt
the merchant or the professional man
in the same terms that Esop’s hungry
dog used toward his fat relative
chained up to watch the house. In
those branches of literary life where
this freedom is curtailed the rewards
are made greater, as if by magic.
The editor is paid well; so is the
special correspondent. They have
forfeited their freedom, and earn in
consequence almost as much as the
doctor or the lawyer, and usually a
great deal more than the minister.
The author, pure and simple, gets his
fun as he goes along. He doesn't want
vacations; in fact, when his brain in
sists on taking one he is of all men
the most miserable. He may have no
money in the bank, but he is in direct
contact with life at whatever point he
chooses. He may not be able to give
security for a hundred dollars, but he
knows that thousands of men and wo
men are in his debt for the work
which he has joyfully produced.

BEAUTY IS BUT SKIN DEEP
Will Your Face Bear Close Inspection?
Get a Hand Mirror and take a good look at yonrself. Your features
may be perfect, and your form all that anyone couli^sk, yet you are not
pretty when your face is covered with Freckles, and Pimples, or disgusting
“Flesh Worms” and Black Heads. There is no good reason why your skin
should not be as soft and as white as a Baby? It was that wav
When You Came Into The World.
And would be so now if you had taken care of it. Freckle discolorations
are buried under the skin, and to be removed, the skin must be softened, the
pores opened up, when these unsightly secretions will exude through the
skin and disappear.
What is true of Freckles, is also true of Black Heads, Flesh Worms and
Pimples. It is only neoess&ry to open ap the channels of Perspiration, when
Nature throws off all Skin Imperfections, and a lovely oomplexion is the
result
Every year hundreds of dollars are paid out for blood medicines by per
sons whose faces are covered with pimples. If these people stopped to con
sider, would they not know that these pimples do not come from imperfeotions
of the blood? If the blood caused them, would not the whole body he covered
with similar pimples,as the blood courses with equal force over the whole
system? Do they not know that the trouble is only a local one, and must be
treated locally if they would be cured?
Does not common sense tell them that the pores of the faoe have been
clogged op—that when the skin is hard and stagnant, that these small muses
of corruption must be the result?
