As to their value as employes, perhaps their knowledge of their increasing presence in the treas­ ury and other departments a t Washing­ ton, and their appreciated services in th e tabulation of the late census, may b etaken as sufficient tru th o f' tru st­ worthiness and accuracy. And now a writer, - a woman, too, strangely enough, treats in a- recent “Critic” of tho “Absence of the Creative Faculty of Women.” “No woman,” she says, “ has ever dope anything in the intellectual world which lias lmd the germ of immortality." And there are given as proofs th e -facts th a t only about forty lines remain to us Of the work of Sappho, and that, tb s writings of Jan e Austen a rs n o t universally ap­ preciated. But amount does no t make quality, n o r does either the fame or immortality of any w riter depend on the ex ten t of ids writings. P indar was the only Greek lyric poet worthy to be compared to Sappho, and bis more numerous pieces are n either more read no r ad­ mired than th e one Complete poem and th e various fragments of the latter. She gave name to a stanza—tho Sap­ phic—which may last as long as docs literature. And th e surviving poem is characterized by a n em inent authority on the classics, aS, “ the one precious whole production spared to us by time and chance from th e genius of Sappho.” The same Writer expresses the belief i.hat the lots o f h e r poems is probably i,he greatest loss th a t the lite ratu re o f mankind ever suffered.” From Sappho—living 8,500 years ago, and holding her place w ith tlie few Greek poeU wb a te pleased to call Im­ mortal—we tu rn to J an e Austen and wonder if, because her productions are n o t commonly known and delighted in, She h ad no genius. I f this were true, b u t few who are called g reat are really so, because th e masses knowor e'se care nothing about th eir writings.
