LITERARY NOTES.

written for the November Scribner a
paper on THE United States Naval Ap-
prentice System" in which he proposes
the extension of the system in a man
ner to gain recruits from the rural dis
tricts of the states, where good Ameri-
can stock is going to waste. He would
have tie navy recruited from the good
boys OF the country, rather than from
the bad boys of the city. why should
the navy be confined to the sea-
portS,and not have representatives of all
parts of the country?" asked Lieut..
Wyckotf. Recruiting offices could be
moved from place to place, advertising
thoroughly in advance, and remain only
few weeks in each town. The per
sonnet needed could be restricted to
three or four persons. and the expense
of each party would be small When a
dozen boys had been enlisted, thew
could be sent to the nearest rendezvous
In this way the navy could be Ameri-
caniZed and popularized, for the poor
boys of every state would have an
equal chance"

the origin and growth of the movement
which eliminated in the national Aus
trallan convention at Sydney, last spring.
The constitution then drafted is now be-
Ing debated with great fervOr in the
seven colonies of Australia, and Mr..
Deakin points out that the occasion is
unique: SHOULD the constitution be
accepted as drafted" he says, "Or with
minor amendments, it will be in all
probability the last in the worlds his
tory when civilized people will erect

Albert Bushnell Hart, of Harvard
university, contributes an article to the
New England Magazine for November,
in which he discusses the cause of the
defeat of the Confederacy in the war. A
number of novel arguments are pre-
Sented in his review of the situation,

a complete review of the present Eu-
rOpean situation, and give clear un-
derstanding OF the status of each of the
great powers.

his clever article OIL Emerson and His
Friends at Concord in the sane maya
zine, will be recalled by this one ON

illustrated with sketches by clever pen
Gil and pen and ink artists, and por-
trait of Lowell by Rowcs. hitherto UNI
known to the public.
