Literary Notes.

Mrs. Burton HARRISON, author OF the
"Anglo-Maniacs," has contracted to write
another serial for the Century. She now
receites more orders for literary work than
she can fill.
The New York Critic. IN a review of the
late Hurry w. GRADY's book, 1.-The New
South.n agrees with his assertion that the
negro must not and cannot rule the whites,
and adds: EVERY sane person takes the
same view, and there is likely to be una
nimitv all around on the subject. All
must be thankful to the deceased pollti-
clan for recording this Interchangeable de-
cree in tones that would penetrate ada
mant."
RoBERr LOUIS STEVENSON not long ago, it
Is said, could not knock into shape"
story which he was writing, and 80 burned
the manuscript. 1t is safe to say that no
mediocre author ever did anything of the
sort. A manuscript Of STEVENSON, whether
"in shapen or not, would not go begging
for purchaser.

The Cheapest Plan.

We have heretofore quoted A. H1cKEN-
IooPER, ESQ.,, president of the Cincinnati
Gas-Llght and Coke Company, to prove
that Richmond would profit by having heI
own electric-plant. We now quote MIR.
HrcKENLooPER again. as follows:
Il think am safe in assuming that the
Cincinnati Gas Company can operate an
electric-light station at an expense 39 pei
cent. less than it can be done by any indie
pendent company"
SO as to the Richmond gas-works. They
could operate an electric-lght station 81
per cent. cheaper than al Independent
company could.

Richmond is often compared with New
York, and IN one respect at least to our
disadvantage. There the police enforce the
right of the pedestrian to cross from one
side Of a street to the other without risk
ing life at the hands of reckless drivers.
Here drivers are not made to know that it
is their duty to slow up at crossings. We
have seen them almost run down people
when policemen were standing by aud
looking on.
The police should be instructed that the
man, woman, or child who is on public
crossing has the right OF way in prefer.

THE AUTHOR OF "leRRY..

uoz1A BaRnwell Elliott Wrote the Story
which Has Created So Much Comment.
Since the story of Jerry" began last
June Ia Scribner's Magazine speculation
be- been rife as to who was the author.
The main question in the discussion was.
b It = man or woman?
Well, the author of Jerry" is wom-
IN, and q tiny little woman at that.
You wouldn't believe to look at her that
she could hold so much knowledge OF
political economy. of men and women
end human nature and the world in gen
eral ~ she has put into the story Of
"Jerry."
Aiss Elliott wrote the story three
years ago, before she went abroad. II
was mot the result, she says, of any
actual knowledge of such life as she
pictureA The hero, Jerry, is purely a
creature of her imagination, and the
scenes are drawn from what she has read
rather than from observation. Her OBJ.
1ect in Publishing the story anonymously
was that she might get the honest opin
ion of the critics, and the result ha.
been most dattering.

Deg Day. IN th. Year ia, ,sel.

As most readers well know, dog days
include the period from July to Aug.
II, and take their name from Sirius,
known as the DOG Star" Sirius is the
most brilliant of the fixed stars, and is at
the head of the constellation CAMS Major,
or Great Dog. This star, during the
period which we refer to as dog days,
rises with the sun or within the same
hour Owing to this, the astronomers
say that the dog star rises "heliacally"
from July to Aug. IL.
The Egyptians, who worshiped the
dog as sacred beast, as did several
others of the ancients, attributed the ex-
treme heat of summer to the influence of
the CAMS Major constellation; the pres
ent Egyptians, however, knew nothing
of this myth, with the exception of the
sect known as the Copts. But with other
nations it is different. With many the
superstition has been perpetuated and
handed down to generation after genera
ton until the present time, when the
most intelligent people of the realm
speak Of dog days as a season of baleful
glares and breezes.
But in the far future this will all be
changed. By regular shifting of the
point where the sun crosses the equator,
which is caused by what is termed the
procession of the equinoxes," the time
will come, in about 1900 years, when
this evil designing Great Dog constella-
ton will only rise with the sun in mid
winter. Wonderful, indeed, is great
Dame Nature, which causes the huge
planets to swing to and fro like gigantic
pendulums strong on invisible wires,
bringing the seasons in regular rotation
with unerring certainty.-St. Louis Re-
nnblic
