HaWthOPne's GCnius.

Each character in Hawthorne's small
list is a finished study, at once local in
its surroundings and general in it's
psychological elements. It is d study
of man In his special environment
more scientific than the science of to-
day, because it does wha5 science fails
to do; it tries to settle the spiritual ele-
ment in its true place as a factor in
mans Life. Others have surpassed Haw-
thore in the management OF external
conduct, of dialogue, OF home Efg, of
local scenery; but none have reached
the depth to which he penetrated n the
study of the human heart as the crea-
ture of his own creation. In every
higher qualification Of the artist, he
easily excels. His style is mastery in
ease, grace, clearness-the winning alb
sorbing, enhancing quality. His skill
IN limiting in ideal and spiritual ele-
ments is the most perfect in our day.
His mastery Of light and shade-the
power Of deepening gloom by sunshine
and lntensiEying sunshine by means of
darkness Of the finest order, at once
the gift of original PERCEPTION and the
result Of most as ,idunus practice. Prob

FLORENCE MARRYAT says that when
Dickens was writing David Copper
field" and at time when its publica-
tion in a serial form was about half
completed, an American firm procured
somebody to write conclusion, and
thus put bogus book on the market.
This version of the story married David
to Agnes rather abruptly. Dickens had
intended the same thing, but when the
news of this sudacious piracy reached
him he forthwith introduced Dora and
made her David's wife with as little
delay as possible.

FOS,ed on Eggs.

A stranger within our gates yesterday
stepped into one of our restaurants, and
walking up to tire bar murmured to the
host:
"A trihs of rye and raw egg, if You
please"
mo eggs in the market" was the re-
Spouse.
NO eggs? 1 think, sir. you are mis-.
taken. I Just now saw box full rs
came down the street. Ipresume you
have got whisky? If you will excuse me
q moment I'll just step out and buy my
own eggs"
The stranger disappeared only to re-
turn a minute later with a looK OF
triumph in his eye and bundle in his
hand, which he deposited upon the
counter.
There are plenty of eggs in town, sir,
IL you would take the trouble to look
around lit.le," remarked the stranger.
The bar keeper, considerably taken
ab.ck, opened the bundle only to find
that his customer had purchased dozen
china nest eggs. Of which bushel or
two are displayed the year round in one
Of our stores.
Deeply mortified at this revelation the
stranger, slowly recovering from the
shock, mechanically laid dollar on the
bar, and family whispered:
