THE POT OF GOLD. BY MARY +. Will
KINs. Boston; ID. Lothrop Company.
Mary Il. wilkins has become widely
known as q clever delipeator of New Eng
land life through the medium OF maya
zine tales now numerous. In this dainty
volume she becomes New England
Scheherezade, prodigal of fairy tales
Finer fairy tales than THE Pot of Gold" I"
"The Christmas Masquerade" and others
in this volume IL would be hard TO find,
and they are rs good=nntured and as merry
as all fairy stories should be. There are in
the volume several homely tales Of New
England childhood where Miss wilkins
realistic vein crops out again, and these
are quite the gems of the collection, with
their quaint quotations from old docu-
ments, and the bright sidelight they
cast on old customs. Thus, in the
Indenture of Ann Ginnins, il is
laid down that "Taverns or Ailhous
she Shall not frequent, at any un-
lawful game She Shall not play, Matri-
nony she Shall not Contract with any
persons during said Term" In the Inven-
in 1851, appear such articles as two
Phlanel sheets, twelve toe (towf) sheets.
Six best Chears and n great chear a cheese
press, five Pewter Basins, an ovel Tabel.
Two other Tabels. Chist with Draws" Z"
etc. The heroine of these two stories
might well be study from life. she is so
naturally drawn.
The book is beautifully printed. with IL
lustrations by w. l.. Taylor, Childe Has
sam, Barnes, Bridgman and other popu-
lar artists The binding. in robins egg
blue with gold and silver design, is beau
tiful.

POEMS BY MAURICE THOMPSON. Bos-
ton and New York: Houghton, Mifiln &
Co.
No modern singer has put his ear closer
TO the breast of nature than has Maurice
Thompson. His prose is full OF the sway
of tree boughs, the sapphire of the sky, the
tang of fresh breezes. the rush of rivers
and the JOY of life under the sun. His
verse contains all these things sublimated,
intensified. Hear him sing this song of
the morning.
She stood between two gold pillows;
Behind her lay misty field,
And sunlight smote with great splendor
Athwart her silver shield.
From her high place she shot an arrow
That broke the slumber OF tho sea;
And one she shot upon a mountain,
And one flew full at me.
Then the sea began singing. and upliftcd
Its face made glorious for kiss;
And the mountain on its green summit
Built fires OF sacrifice.
Then her little feet gold -sandaled,
Stepped down the current OF "A breeze.
And stood upon a river flowing
Broad like the Euphrates-
And the hills cried. 1T Is Eosr'
And the skylark scared away;
And the little fire in the East enkindled,
Flemed into perfect day!
II is worth while 70 spend some OF ones
best hours with n.l 20 whom every tongue
OF nature sins and for whom the air u
palpitant with wings. The cool breath of
tue moss the dance OF wasp and dragon
fly, the babbic, babhlc n the brook are i'm
his pages and lead them "a resistless fas-
cinatiou.

Boston, March 1o..--Allen Gillis and

clinched he used his teeth on Donovan's

At this stage of the fight the other
workmen interfered aud dragged Gillis

his eye was badly swollen, and the flesh
in the vicinity OF the optic was lacerated
In several places.
Gillis was arrested and locked up on

Only published by HIS publishers he meant
But il he had spoken the truth about the matter
he would have told you that the first volume CT
the latest edition OF the Encyclopedia Britain
MICA was issued fifteen years ago, and that the
greater part of it was compiled at that date.
So you see they didn't get General Grant in 10
after all.
That depends on the kind Of book you want.
Let me ask you question or two. You live
here in the United States, don't your
Yes, thought so. Now tell me. about which
do you want the MOST detailed information an
American city or an English town? An Amer
| lean statesman or an English statesman?
Just SO. But, you see, the Encyclopedias
Britannica wasn't compiled for the use Of men
like you. It was put together to be- used by
Englishmen In England. And, you see, they
want the exact opposite OF what you do andthe
Encyclopedia Britannica, very properly, gives
it to them. 1t fills pages with the account OF
some insignificant English borough or county
that you may never want to know anything:
about whatever, aud gives q half dozen lines to
some State or city here thetyou want the fullest
particulars OF, but about which an Englishmaa
cares just nothing at all.
Right as trivet, whatever that may be-
never saw one that know Of But you're lust
exactly right, all the same It's the AMERI-
propose to put IN every home in the West. The
1ong-winded articles on petty British subjects
have been cut down to the same length that
would have been given them had they been
French or German subjects, and the articles on
matters OF American interest have been ali re-
written and treated just as exhaustively as they
| would have been in the original work had they
| been specially interesting to Englishmen.
Well, rather. One Of the best and most com.
plete ever written. And there are four thou
sand new biographies besides. In fact, the
work contains the life of every distinguished
man or woman, American or foreign, now living,
or who has died aince tho Encyclopedias Brir
| tannica was compiled.

vised down to the present year for one thing
