LITERARY NOTES.

There Is perhaps no American writer
whose autobiography would be more
interesting than that OF Elizabeth Stuart
Phelps, and we are glad 10 learn that
she will contribute series OF reminis-
cences TO McClure's Magazine. The first
article appears la the December number,
and will contain recollections OF her
early life in Andover; Of her father, the
distinguished Professor Phelps; and OF
her mother, herself a writer Of stories,
some of which reached circulation Of
100000 copies.
The color craze has struck that en-
bodiment OF conservatism, Harper's
Magazine, and the December number has
fronispiece Ia color. However, IL Is
not In the crude, inharmonious colors of
newspaper work, nor vet In the fearful
art-lessness OF the Beardsley insanity.
but Is truly artistic. II the masters OF
the art of black-and- white printing must
run into color, IL IL cause for rejoicing
that their work Is artistic. and thus does
something 10 Offset the art-demoralizing
influences now vitiating the public
taste.
How Hall Caiue writes his novels; his
method Of collecting material and max
ing notes and then Of composing each
chapter completely word for word In his
head before putting pen to paper; all
this and much more that Is OF extraordi-
nary interest concerning this great
writer. Is told in McClure's Magazine for
December, Ia an article which contains
vivid record of various conversations
with Hall Caine, written down by X. Ii.
Sherard The article will be splendidly
illustrated with portraits Of Hall Caine,
with scenes of incidents In his novels
and photographs of the originals OF
some of his most famous characters.
Two very important facts In connec-
tion with the new era Of magazines are
illustrated In the December Cosmopoli-
tan. Its fiction Is by Stevenson, the last
story written before his death, "Ouida,"
Sarah Grand, Zangwill, and the begin
ming of James Lane Aliens new Ken
lucky realistic story, Butterflies"
Probably no stronger array OF fiction
has ever been presented In any maga-
zine-money could not buy better. Nor
has any magazine ever had larger num-
ber Of really distinguished artists en-
gagged upon the illustration OF single
number. The reader might be puzzled
TO know how such number can be
made at the price Of ten cents. But the
magazine itself affords the solution. II
contains l39 pages OF advertising, which,
AS the publishers announce, Is from
$1,000 to $1,000 more net cash advertising
than was ever before printed in any
magazine Of any kind, aud In any coun-
try. 1t breaks the worlds record In the
publishing business. Moreover, the cost
OF the artists and authors who appear in
this number is divided amongst 400, 900
copies, bringing the cost per copy pro-
portionately low. The Cosmopolitan
thinks that the ten cent magazine, bring
ing, as 1t does, the best In art and litera.

''Do you know what the Sprinkle
dollars were: No. Wen. Josiah Sprinkle
the man In question, lived In one OF th'
toughest sections Of Lewis county, Ky.
Washington, the county seat OF Mason
was then thriving town. One day
Sprinkle, then an old man. appeared Al
Washington with buckskin pouch full
of silver dollars OF his own make.
"In every respect they appeared The
equal OF the national coin. The weight
was more than at present, and the quality
and ring was all that could be asked for
He spent them freely, and everybody
accepted them upon the assurance ol
Sprinkle that they were all right except
that they were not made by the L. >
mint. Upon being asked where he got
the silver, he replied: 30, it don't mat
ter. There is plenty Of 1t left The In
scriptions on the coins were rudely out
lined. and In no wise was an attemp,
made at initiating the national coin.
On one side of the coin was an owl, and
on the other a six-pointed star. The
edges were smooth. The coins were
considerably larger and thicker than the
l.. S. coin. Whenever Sprinkle came ia
town he spent the dollars OF his own
make.
AT one time he volunteered the infor-
nation that he had a silver mine in the
west. but the old man refused to tell any
one where IL WAS located. Finally, the
government agents heard of the matter
and came on to investigate. Sprinkle
was arrested and brought into court, but
the dollars were proven to be pure silver,
without alloy. worth, In fact, triile
more than 81 each. After an exciting
trial ne was acquitted. When the verdict
was announced Sprinkle reached down in
his pockets and drew out bag OF 30 OF
the coins and paid his attorney in the
presence of the astonished officials.
Sprinkle was never afterwards bothered,
and continued to make the dollars until
the time of his death. He died suddenly,
and carried the secret of his silver mine
with him. This was In the early thirties.
and it has been 20 years since Sprinkle
dollar has been found."-Washington
Times.
