Jane Austen and Guy do MauDass

Jane Austen and Guy do Maupassant.
 Unconsciously Jane Austen was a forerunner of group of novelists, represented at present perhaps most completely by M. Guy de Maupassant Could she have foreseen what was coming there is no reason to suppose she would have shrunk from the asso citation as perturbing to maidenly sus- capabilities; her minute acquaintance with Richardson, the outspoken habit of her time, Q hint or two in her let ters. show the likelihood that her ob jection to the form taken for the mo- ment by French fiction would, like ours, be to some extent offset, could she read it, by admiration of the skill of some of the writers-all the more that she knew French.
 She and M. Guy de Maupassant are, indeed, in odd contrast. and yet closely alike. His range is perhaps as narrow as hers; he avowedly goes out of his way in search of the unhackneyed, whereas she obviously makes her ar rows of the wood that happens to lie in her path. Her characters are apt to be ladies and gentlemen; his are usually, as Mir. Henry James points out, the re- verse. Her plots turn on domestic lin volvements;" by no stretch of language could his atmosphere be termed do- lasstis.-W D. .. Clymar in SsrihnAr'~

Vitality of . Quail.

J. E. Isgrigg, of Carthage, Mo-, thus writes to The American Field: II send you by express hen quail. w. B. Hickey was working his puppies OH birds today, and when the bevy flushed he noticed this bird, which flew, he says, like one having been shot in the head. It flew quite distance, and upon getting it up the second time he killed it, which of course was contrary to law, but under the circumstances was a humane act You will see that a twig has been run completely through the breast, both ends protruding. It has evidently been there quite a long time, as the wound has grown over. think it marvellous that the bird could have survived such wound. The bird would in all probability have lived it's days out had it not been shot. Mr. Hickey's theory is that the bird was fy- ing to escape q hawk and darted into the brush, and in doing so flew against this twig"
