MAGAZINE NOTES.

Theodore Child continues his papers
on Literary Paris" in the September
"Harper's Monthly" Mr.. Child does
not succeed in making the men of whom
he writes differentiate from each other
with any distinctness. The reader, void
OF impressions concerning Frenchmen OF
letters, will find himself almost equally
so after carefully reading the two papers
that have been published of this series.
Mr.. Child's familiarity with the French
language seems to have led him into an
occasional curious use OF his own. He
says, in beginning d new chapter:
Having resumed the new tendencies
and the aspirations of young genius"
etc., etc. He evidently uses the word
resumed not in the English sense,
"taken back" but in the French sense
OF resume, "a summing up." The word
never having been anglicised, gives a
false impression with its English termi-
nation. There are several other instances
OF equally foreign use of words, which
are all the more noticeable from being in
an article upon literary style
Laurence Hutton first paper on death
masks, illustrated from photographs of
his celebrated collection, is as interest
ing to read as the heads are to study.
The paper will be continued in the next
number OF the magazine, and some of
the most interesting masks OF the col
lection remain to be seen.
One realizes that the democracy of
letters has been indeed reached when an
essay such as Lowell's upon chapman"
is printed on the same paper with the
same type Immediately next door to a
story as silly and vapid as Margaret
Sidney's story, called "Those Souvenir
Spoons" This essay on chapman" is
short, but it is virile with more of the
ring of Lowell's older work than the
more subtly bordering quality of his
later essays.
''Lot 10. 249," by A. Conan Doyle, is
an uncommonly successful story of the
grewsome sort, holding the interest
firmly, and ending without deteriorating
into absurdity. The plot is one that
Poe would have delighted in, but whether
he would have handled it so well is
questionable.
T. B. Aldrich contributes two graceful
triffes to the verse of the month, and
Thomas Dunn English poem called
'"The Beggar's Word" which seems to
be the ghost of some dead effusion from
Fourth Reader"
The illustration of the month is I'D to
Harper's high level. w. T. Smedley's
full page illustration in "Jane Field"
Miss wilkins serial, is particularly good.
1.-The Critic" says of the September
Cosmopolitan" that it Is the best num-
Der ever issued Of that magazine. The
Cosmopolitan" has certainly improved
under Mr.. Howell's management; the
tone OF the magazine is better, there be-
ing fewer articles OF the Sunday news
paper type.

Early to BED and Early to Rise.

Early TO Leo ana Early TO Nlses
Another of the cherished maxims of the
proverbial philosopher appears to be pass
ing away:
Early to bed and early to rise
Makes a man healthy wealthy and wise.
So said Benjamin Franklin. We may
concede him the wealth, and perhaps the
wisdom (though Minerals owl is surely a
night bird). But, as for the health, here
is German savant who has been collect
ing information about the habits of long
lived persons, and who finds that the ma
jority of long livers INDUCED in late hours.
At least eight out of ten persons over
eighty whose cases were investigated never
went to bed until well into the small
hours, and did not get up again until late
in the day. This doctor considers that
early rising tends to exhaust the physical
powers and to shorten life. Aristophanes,
with his great long swear (the longest
word, our schoolboy readers will remem-
Der, in the Greek dictionary at early
morning walks, was nearer right than
Franklin, it would seem. In an English
book on the same subject, published not
long ago, it was shown that long livers
were nearly all persons who habitually alb
stained from baths. So the two great OBJ
stacles to health are, it appears, the two
things which are enjoined ON the young az
essential to it-namely, early rising and
the morning bath.

1t is impossible to imagine pleasanter
collection of stories for children than
the recently published volume by Mary
f. wilkins, called "Young Lucretia and
Other Stories."
Each story. with the exception OF one
fairy tale, is based upon single simple
episode in the drama OF child-life each
is the homely record OF an event of deep
est significance in the forming of child
character and OF outwardly slight impor-
lance. Just the sort OF experiences that
men and women remember when their
Latin is quite forgotten and their we'd
ding anniversaries obliterated by the
years. With perfect knowledge of the
stiff New England life Of the past, deli
cately shrewd humor, profound init
macy with childish ambitions and tempt
atoms, Miss Wilkins draws each of her
little heroines with charming spirit and
places each in setting as inevitably
genuine as life itself.
Miss Wilkins remembers, as few writer's
do remember, the ardor of childish desire,
the absurd yearning of a child for a
something, or nothing, upon which its
foolish little heart is set. The children
that we learn to know through these
stories are not bad from perversity or
Righteousness, but nerved to infant vii
lainy by the strength of their young
desires. In pursuing their dear ambi-
tons they plunge from temptation to
wrong-doing, and are shocked into re-
pentance by sudden consciousness Of
their fall. 1t is this keen penetration
into the springs OF human action that
makes these tender and humorous little
tales as interesting to one who has been
a child as to one who is still child.
Miss Wilkins has none of the mechan-
ical tear-pumping apparatus that is usu-
ally so important part of the equip.
ment OF writer's for children, their is not a
deathbed scene in the whole book; our
sympathies are not worked upon by pit
eous adjectives, although the little peo-
pie are rather inclined to tears. A
wholesomer, fresher atmosphere hangs
about the stories than about those of Mrs.
Burnett, and there is nothing cloyingly
angelic or Electrically winning, as though
making dead set at our hearts, in the
little men and women who, all uncon-
scious of a spectator, raise the dust
along the quiet New England lanes. In
few set phrases only does Miss Wilkins
fall into the stereotyped conventionalities
OF children's writer's. From a less OBJ
servant writer it would be surprising to
hear of a tall girl Of thirteen "trudging
along" the road; of children who at six
or seven still "pattered about" In thus
occasionally attributing peculiarities Of
younger child to her larger children
she strikes the only note that does not
respond with truth to her light spirited
touch; and this defect is only noticeable
in reading many Of the stories at one
sitting. Harper & Bros. Franklin So.

Farewell, Life! my senses swim,

Farewell, Life! my senses swim,
And the world is growing dim;
Thronging shadows cloud the light
Like the advent of the night
Colder, colder, colder still,
Upward steals vapor chill;
Strong the earthly odor grows

Welcome, Lifel The spirit strives!
Strength returns and hope revives;
Cloudy fears and shapes forlorn
Fly like shadows of the morn;
Ger the earth there comes IL bloom,
Sunny light for sullen gloom,
Warm perfume for vapor cold

A Theory Which Its Author Has Put

Let us look at the philosophy of the boil,

]. II. Stearns in The Medical Summary.
Some fault exists in the regular elimina-
ton, and the morbic material is collected
at some convenient point to force it out of
the system in an extraordinary manner,
and it will be noticed that n wall Of coag-
ulable lymph forms around it to complete
the enucleation, and the obvious indication
is to assist in this work, which can be done
in the most admirable way by applying
collodion over the hardened, thickened
part, leaving the center uncovered On
drying the collodion contracts and thus
firmly separates and protects the surround
ing parts from the pestiferous mass. BY
touching the suppurating points with pure
nitric acid and keeping the center of the
tumor moist there is a prompt discharge
of the pus and rapid recovery. This is
no mere theory, but has been used in scores
of cases with the most satisfactory results.

about poulticing, but think what have
