LITERARY NOTES.

Scribner's Magazine for June con-
tains an article by John Heard, Jr.,
which, for the first time in accessible
form in English tells the tragical story
of "Maximilian and Mexico" in the
light of many documents which have
recently been published in France. This
dramatic recital of an episode which
the writer calls zone of Napolean's Day
Dreams" gives, in that picturesque
style which the author has shown in
his stories, perfectly clear account of
the event from its conception to the
execution OF Macmillan. The true in,
side history of the part played by the
United States, the author thinks, will
probably never be thoroughly known
because there were few documents and
the real instructions we're given by word
of mouth by men who have passed
away. Mr.. Heard's narrative is enrich.
ed with series of striking pictures by
Marchetti and Gilbert Gaul.
Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett, with
her wonderful power of depicting child
life and her sympathy with it in suffer
ing as well as in pleasure, has written
THE Story of Beautiful Thing" in
which she tells of the rise and growth
of touching London charity officially
known as "The Invalid g Children 3 Aid
Association, which is devoted to max
ing life pleasanter for those little incur
ables who have been given up by the
hospitals as hopeless and returned to
their miserable homes. During her
London residence Mrs. Burnett took a
great inter, st in this work, and tells
with great pathos many of the incl
dents which came under her immediate
notice. The article is very effectively
illustrated by John Gulich, an English
artist, who is familiar with the sceness
he depicts.
Prof. N. S. Shaler has entered upon
new field in his popular studies of
nature, and begins in this number a
group of articles on Domestic Amin ais,
those animals which are nearest to man
by use and association. The present
article on 1.-THE Dog" is full of the most
entertaining information in regard to
the development of the various kinds
of dogs, their habits and associations,
with incidents of their intelligence and
what the author calls their social cul-
ture." He enumerates, with examples,
q long catalogue of "human qualities
which characterize the thoroughly do
mesticated dog. A series of pictures
by Hermann Leon, the French animal
painter, accompanies the article.
DR.. Leroy M. Yale, an angler of great
experience, writes brief article upon
some of the best known American
Game Fishes, '-the brook trout, the
striped bass, black bass, salmon, etc.,
with charming bits of description in re-
gard to the habits and haunts of these
fishes, founded on his own experience.
The illustrations arc made by Chas. B.
Hudson, close students of fish life:
Archibald Forbes, the veteran war cor
respondent, writes remarkable short
paper on "The Future of the Wounded
in War, in which he predicts that the
great advance in the manufacture of
deadly weapons and also the increase in
the size of armies will make it impossi-
BILE, in the next great war, to give any
thing like the attention to the wounded
which has heretofore prevailed; and
that war, instead of being more hu.
name, will be more cruel-so cruel, in
deed, that the nations of the world will
be forced by stern experience to devise
other means of settling their disputes.
