George EIiot's Romola.

4 timely interest is given, by the
death of the author, to the new edi-
ton of her masterpiece, "Romoia,"
just issued by the American Book ex-
change, New York. It shows her
work at it's best and strongest, and at
the same time gives the reader the
opportunity TO acquire q lasting fani-
liarity with the~scenes and society OF
medieval Italy. It IS one Of the few
realIy great historical novels Of the
world. 1t is issued in handy and
beautiful from, extra cloth binding,
simple but rare elegance and taste IN
design. and like the other issues OF the
Literary Revolution its cost is al
most nominal. viz. 35 cents. 1t is one
of 81 series intended to form a library
Of classic fiction, which will include
one representative and characteristic
work of each OF the great authors who
have won lasting fame in the realm of
fiction. Life is 200 short and too full
of work TO permit the reading of all
that is beautifuiand valuable in these
creations of the imagination but even
very busy people can find time TO read
one book by each of the score of au-
thors who have won immortal fame
and place in the affections of the peo-
pie. Not TO be acquainted with them
is to be ignorant OF much that is most
important and most interesting in the
history of nations and Of men. Not
to possess them is to be deprived Of
most fruitful and profitable sour:e OF
enjoyment. Among those issued OIL
nearly ready are, SCOTS "Ivanhoe.'

In 1888 he graduated from the West

AN INTERVIEW" WITH CoNKLINe. =
A rash reporter was withered by the in
effable scorn of the senior Senator from
New York on Wednesday last. Going
into the presence of the Utica Adonis at
the Fifth Avenue Hotel the audacious
scribe proceeded to business by saying:
"Will you outline your attitude, Sena-
tor, toward the new administration?
Excuse me, no; l don't wish to say
anything about that at present" was the
lofty answer of Lord Roscoe. I'm.
daunted at this unpromising beginning
the fresh youth returned to the attack
with-"But President Hayes has
antagonized you"-Right here Mr.. Conk-
ling broke in with There again must
decline to converse with you" This
would have satisfied q reasonable news
gatherer that Mr.. Conkling was in no
mood for an interview, but not so with
the adamantine.cheeked reporter in ques-
ton. His last query capped the climax.
1t was: care you ready to meet the al
legations made in the coming suit>of
Sprague" This time the Senator did
not even say excuse me-" but drawing
himself up in his hautiest attitude, and,
bestowing sweeping glance upon the
scribe, turned on his heel and walked
away. The aspiring young journalist
seemed to regard this as a hint and took
himself from the Senatorial presence.

The Matthusian theory will have to
be put in practice in some portions Of
Germany where the country is over
populated. Herbert Spencer, who was
the opponent of the Matthusian doctrine,
held that over-population always righted
itself, and that whenever the population
of country grew so dense that it was
difficult for its people to find food, this
increase ceased. His theory, however,
IS completely overturned in Germany
The most densely settled portion of the
empire, and where the suffering from lack
of food is greatest, is Upper Silesia, and
yet this is the very section where the
population is increasing most rapidly.
The worst part of Silesia is Benthen, in
which district the population has
doubled in the last sixteen years, while
the rest of the empire doubles only in
fifty years. The result was shown last
year in famine, in which large num-
Der of people died. The government has
taken the matter in hand, but can only
suggest legal restraint upon the liberty
of marriage. The Silesians marry early
it is proposed to fix the marriageab age
at twenty five or thirty, and thus save
the country from oyer-peopling.
