BOOKS AND AUTHORS.

IAN unexplored corner of JAPAN" as he an
nounces it in his subtitle. He thought it
couldn't possibly have been explored when his
eye was caught on the map by the pose of the
province standing out in graphic mystery from
the western coast of Japan. Then when he
inquired of people about Noto he discovered
that not one of them had ever been there, and
few had ever heard of it. This was proof
positive that No'o's was virgin soil as far as
the feet of civilized man were concerned; and
our author resolved to be the Stanley of Noto.
Besides, the name pleased him, with its liquid
~ and positive 3. So off he started with Yeiiro--
that is, they missed the first train, but only had
to wait three hours. which is occupied by
clever description of the festival of fishes in
Tokyo. What adventures befel the daring ex-
plorers it would never do to tell except in the
authors own delightful words. Enough to say,
the fact that the explorers found another white
man at Noto when they gotthere, and steam
launches on the bay and other disheartening
evidences of civilization. does not detract in
the least from the value of the book. indeed,
it increases its value, because the explorer in
desperation then went off and got lost in the
mountain passes and had no end of adventures,
all of which he recounts in manner that fills
the reader with feelings of great good hunor
and refreshment, "Noto" is published in neat
form by Houghton, Mifflin s. Co., and for sale
at Brentano's.
MADAME D'ORGEVAUTS HUSBAND.
This gentleman was not the individual she de-
sired, as she discovered at an unfortunate hour
on her wedding day-unfortunate, because it
was after the ceremony. That things went
badly in consequence the existence of this story
makes it hardly necessary to state. They went
dreadfully bad, even for France. Nearly
every one was in love with the wrong person,
and the amount of trouble the author, Mr..
Henri Rabusson, involves them in is remark
able. He does it all in a clever French way,
however, that cannot fail TO fascinat the novel
reader. The translation is the work of Mr..
Frank Hunter Potter, and it has been well
done. The book is a handsome volume pub

A Convenient Ring.

The following incident happened al
Oroville, Cal: 1t was handsome soli
taire, and she evidently desired the jew
eler to know that it was her engagement
ring.
II would like to have this ring cut
down to suit my finger" said the hand
some heart smasher, as she Aourished
the brilliant ring before the eyes Of the
jeweler.
The jeweler took the ring and smiled
he had seen it before.
81 can fix that in a minute" replied
he. Screwing magnifying glass in his
eye, and taking a small sharp pointed
instrument in his hand, he touched q
minute button on the inside of the ring
and made it the exact size, saying, as he
placed it on her finger, You see these
rings are made in this manner for the
reason that they are worn by so many
different people; it is a great conven-
ience."
The young lady sailed out of the store
burning with indignation, and the rea-
son she did not fly was because she didn't
have the wings. What did she Think
You know, and it is only necessary to
state that she did not wear the ring.
Another girl has it now, but this time

the button-the young man did it him

The Kew of Death.

About the year 1900 stranger named
Tebaldo established himself as a mer.
chant in Venice. Soon becoming infatu.
ated with the daughter of one Of the
most ancient and wealthy families be
asked her hand and was rejected, the
young lady being already affianced.
Half crazed and thoroughly enraged he
planned revenge. Being an excellent
mechanic he soon evolved a most formi-
dable looking key. The handle of thit
unique weapon could be easily turned,
Being turned it disclosed spring with a
missile in the shape of needle of ex.
quisite fneness. With this weapon TIE.
baldo waited at the church door until
the maiden he loved passed in on the
morning of her marriage. When the
bridegroom appeared the desperate lover,
unperceived, sent the slender poisoned
needle into his rivals breast, and within
an hour he was dead of strange, baf.
fling disease"
Again Tebaldo demanded the hand of
the maiden, but was refused. Within q
few days both her parents had died in
a very mysterious manner. Suspicion
being excited, examination was made,
and the small steel instruments found
in the flesh in both cases. One day the
maiden allowed Tebaldo an audience,
but told him that she would never be
his bride. Within an hour she was a
corpse. Tebaldo was suspected, the key
discovered and the culprit hanged. The
celebrated key of death" is still shown
to the curious visitor of the Venice
museum.-St. Louis Republic.

Of Orchard and contiguous streets were

her beau, Prig Kelly, was late. Conse-
quently Mag was that distressful object, a

Mag suffered keenly, but none of the
boys dared ask her to dance They were
afraid of Prig's vengeance. At last a cal
low youth, who was a stranger in the To-

its etiquette, venrured to draw near TO
Mag. He wore q decent suit of clothing,
and taken altogether presented a respect
able appearance. He formed quite a con-
trast in comparison with the rest of the
crowd. He bowed politely to Mag and said;
MAY have the pleasure of dance with
you"
IS The style, manner and address of the
youth staggered Mag for a moment. She
looked him all over, from the three inch
collar to the shining boots, and then ex-
claimed in tones of whitening contempt;
"Whati You dance wild mel Haw"
Just then there was commotion at the
door and Prig Kelly entered He wore q
red flannel shirt and no vest. His pants"
were supported with one gallus. His
trousers were rolled up above his ankles
and his hat sat far back on his head. He
crossed the room quickly, throwing the
dancers aside, and saluted Mag in deep
baritone, saturated with whisky and plug
