force the laws, and especially the Smith

in the basin, or eausingit to burst by tight
bandaging. White CASTLE SOAP is the

she, and the water should be at a temper

The Illustration was placed in a deep

In drying the child. continued Miss Ho-

child much, but pat it carefully until dry.

The announcement of new story b Y
Mr.. Trowbridge ought always to pc vel
coined with as much satisfaction by par
ents as it is by all young people, for he is
d writer who however interesting he may
seek 60 make himself; never loses sight OF
the idea that fiction is never wholesome
except when it tends to elevate the mind
and to purify the sentiment of youth. In
his last book just published by Lee and
Shepard, entitled The jolly Rover" he
aims to portray the false ideas aud mis-
conduct that are promoted in youth by
the reading of the pernicious literature of
our time His hero is a boy, well-born
and carefully reared, who has got the no
ton that ne must see the world and do
something heroic; indeed, he aims to be
come sort of 'DlmeNovel' hero and with
this intention runs away from home
The lesson is wholesome, for no one would

Criticism of Mrs, Lanstry.

The critic OF the New York Sun ia not
inclined to overlook Mrs. Lsngtry's his
trionic shortcomings. The Jersey Lilly re-
Gently appeared as Juliana in Tobin's COM
edy "The Honeymoon" of which he
says: "Mrs. Langtry's Interpretation Of
the role of Juliana-if the word interpre-
tation can be fifty used in the premises
may be dismissed with the most summary
comment. For criticism, properly so
called, there is no room, for the element
airy reason that her acting Is SO purely
negative as to defy critical analysis. OF
the proud aud stubborn, yet genuine and
wholehearted, woman of the play, Mrs.
Langtry offers not one trace, but instead
q vapid ~pretence Of acting--for Of real act-
ing there was no sign~which would do
little credit 10 a clever school girl of IL.
Her presentation of Rosalind suggested a
| suspicion which found dreary confirmation
last night. Mrs. Langtry's heroines are
distinctly and palpably silly-an unkind
construction might almost call them vul-
| gar. In movement, feature and infection
| last night she never by any accident lapsed
| into one trait Of genuine feeling or express
sion, Not an accent or Il glance sug-
| gested that she felt any of the emotions
| she ostensibly interpreted-still less those
which the part COMFORTS and requires. Her
| whole idea of arohness and youthful grace
| resolves itself into mincing af~feotation--her
| only vocal resource into a monotonous
drawl as exasperating to the auditors
! nerves az it Is untrue to art or nature"
