American Critics on Bret Harte

hl0OIlNdh NGiGlCS On LGcL Jd
+. c. STEDMAN, the Poet and Essayist,
speaks OF him as "a rare genius, whose work
must be counted among the treasurer VI tho
language"
The late f. p. wHIPPLE, the famous Boston
critic: Bret Harte has great sharpness OF
merely external observation; he has, also, great
depth of moral insight He interprets ruda
populations, which he at the same time con-
dennis. lie touches that vital virtue In their
inmost souls which will. in the end, regenerate
their coarse natures He may be tolerant Of
their besetting sins, hut bis liberation is OF that
sort which tends To lift rather than TO justify
them. In short he Is thoroughly christian in
and pathcs, though he is artisticaly careful to
conceal his end in his means and to teach
morality while seeming 10 dispense with IT.
NJ. w. HAZELTlNE, the Literary Critic OF
the New York sun: Few writer's of cur own
or any recent generation can vie with Bret
Harte In the mastery OF our smiles and tears"
WARREN CHENEY In the Overland Monthly.
Had Dickens lived in California, his impress
sions would have given US stories OF the same
spirit as Mr.. Harte's So far as he has given
his art to the production aud deneation OF
California life, his work has all the stamp of
originality and genius"
His work has appeared In prominent journals

every part of the service in odd designs
The revival of Pompadour styles in furnish
ing has brought toward Sevres on account
OF its fiorid colorings. The approved pat
tern for the soup pia has plain middle
with rim decorated in conventional de-
signs, say in blue and gold, on a cream
white ground. Fish plates and game are
painted in woodland or field scores, with
grouse, pheasants CT deer. Fish plates are
oftep designed by celebrated artists with
the most gorgeous hued living creatures of
the seas. The dinner rlate proper takes
flower patterns or Moorish designs for its
rim. TIE desert plates have become artis-

signs, or newer, all over conventional de-
signs, very delicate and beautiful.

People who can't buy silver bowls get the
same shapes and designs in crystal, which
produces an effect quite as charming. Crys-
tai set in silver or copper suits the taste and
the purses of many. Very often it chances
that no flower dishes are used at all. The
newest fancy leads hostess to fling the
flowers on the cloth itself, making posY
bed of yellow DAISIES, or dwarf sunhowers
Swallowed by frosted ferns, or smilax
knotted with cypress flowers, or golden
lilies with pale green leaves and buds, or if
she wishes to be perfectly sure that her
floral display shall not fade before the
serving Of cafe noir, punches OF the red
berries Of the mountain ash surrounded by
their own leaves, or twtgs OF the American
flowers iavished in such profusion are laid
downin set patterns, diamonds, circles, or
squares; oftener and better they are hung
down with the effect Of picturesque careless
ness almost concesling the cloth which is
visible only at intervals through the mass
Of blossoms
A new menu Is the novelty desired OF
every hostess. for on he daintiness Of ones
menu and name cards does the reputation
Of lunch-giver largely depend. A fairy
lamp of rose du Barry pink with crinkled
glass fower-holder heaped with cream col
ored buds on either side was the medium
employed at lunch given to introduce a
pretty debutante some days ago. The menu
was painted on antique, ragged edged
torchcn board and thrust in among the
flowers. Strips OF birch bark have been
used once or twice lately, embellished with
Quaint figures Of waiting maids serving the
dinner dishes Strips Of ribbon painted
with pictures OF the viands have been seen
converted into shades for fancy candles,
thus casting light on the order Of the meal.
Tablets of etched steel, copper or even
silver. each one costing almost the price Of
a dinner, are occasional and extravagant
notions.

DOGS AS PRESENTS TO a BRIDE.
They are Used Thus in Manchuria--
About the Skins of the Canine.
From the london Times

They are Used Thus in Manchuria--
About the Skins of the Canine.
From the London Times.
Mr.. Edgar, the commissioner of customs
at Newchwang, in Manchuria, in the last
Chinese customs yellow book, referring TO
trade from that port in robes and mats of
the skins of do, $ and goats says it is ger
orally supposed that dogs are picked up pro-
miscuou-ly wherever they may be foun,t
straying, destroyed and their skins sold to
dealers. This, no viewer, IS no. the case,
for although the business may have bad It's
origin in this way, 1t is now as systemati-
caiiy carried on as sheep farming. There
are thousands of small dog and goat farms
dotted over Manchuria and tho eastern
borders OF Mongolia, where a score to some
hundreds OF dogs are annually raised on
each farm, and where they constitute reg
uiar source of wealth. A bride, for IN
stance, will receive as dowry a number of
dogs proportionate to the means of her
father. 1t is probable, SAYS Mr. Edgar,
tn in no other part of the world are ther Q
to be found such splendid dogskins for size,
length of hair and quality, tue extreme cold
of these ATTITUDES, where the thermometer
registers so degrees Fahrenheit below zsro,
developing magnificent coat. 1t is diff
cult to und 7rstand how a dog farmer can
afford with profit to raise th5 animals when
tile price OF the robe is taken into co sidera-
ton. For one full-sized robe, say so by SO
inches, at least eight are required. Put
ting the price realized at 14i III for a rObe,
this would only allow only about Is l0d per
skin. including the selection, for the skin
must be matched incolor:,and length Of hair,
AID cost of sewing. The animals are gen
orally strangled ia midwinJer, but not be-
fore they are 8 months Old, aud then the
skins taken, in frozen condition, priuci-
pally to Moukden and Chinchow, where
they are cured, assorted, and made into
robes, mats, etc. Last year tho robes are
said to have been decidedly inferior in
quality. The reason give is that orders
went forward too late, aud the farmers,
waiting till they had news of some demand,
kept the animals alive until their winter
coats began to fall off. The value of the
trade from Newchwang last year was about
$4,000 sterling, against nearly &C.,,
0OO sterling the previous year. The
decline was due TO depreciation in value and
decreased demand from the United
States.
