Certainly, if it were not for its prede-
cessor, we should assign to "Trilby'' a
place in fiction absolutely companion
less. In "Tnlby'i Mr.. Du Maurier
enCharts us once again with series of
brilliant pictures of Paris and Partisan
society some forty years since. The ar
tiStiC world of painters and poets and
musicians in which he delights is re-cre-
ated in these pages with astonishing WV
| idneSs and power. The characters pre-
sented in this world are sketched with
admirable delicacv and sympathy. They
move us. as true portraituTe ever must,
by the gift of life that is theirs, so full
and rich is the impression of vitality.
We have marked many vivaciOuS and
characteristic passages in all three vol
umes, and find we have not space for re-
producing them. Where good things
abound, as in "Trilby,n selection is not
an easy matter. 1t is one of the most
unconventional and charming of novels.
Saturday Review, London.
One aspect of the Paris of the sixties
has never had more vivid and atmOs-
pheric portrayal than in "Trilby."
1t is the secret of the extraordinary
charm of this story that it does not APP
pear to be a S Dry; it has almost no
marks of artitiCe; 1t hardly appears to
have been planned; it affects us as a rec
ord, kept in the simplest and most in
formal way. of certain very interesting
events and persons. The simple

"Trilby" is a very notable nOvel-aS
notable as any that has appeared for
many long day; a book that everyone
will like because it has the essential
qualities of wit, passion, character, and
human nature; book that has the grace
and charm of a finely artistic style all
through, and that is likely to rest on our
shelves long after most of the novels of
this year of grace shall have passed
away,-St. James's Gazette, London.

TOsACEO AND DIPLOMACY.
Good or BAD Cigars May Make or Mayhap
Ruin a Nation.

The gentleman who taught Prince Bis
marck Russian has been giving his recol-
loctions of his astuto pupil. One deliver
anco of his is especially noteworthy. Upon
the professor complimcnting the prince
upon his cigars the latter replied: Good
cigars arc the best friend of the diplomat.
The best dinner that ever was cooked
would leave bad impression if followed
by bad cigars" This latter statement
seems unnecessary, for surely no host wor-
thy of the name would make such an ar
ror 1t would be indeed spelling the ship
for pound of tar" but as regards the Gu
logium on tobacco, how true it Is!
Not only diplomats, but men of business
have cause to speak highly of it. 1t makes
intercourse easy from the first, gives the
talk Il friendly tone and facilitates agree
ment. Here in England this has only be-
gun to be understood. In old fashioned
houses in the city the weed is still tabooed
as being something bohemian and disre-
spectacle. But by the younger establish
ments and among the junior partners of
the old ones its merits as Il lubricant are
well understood.
When an American comes here to
trade, " it is not too much to say that it
is per cent in that Englishman's favor
who offers him good cigar 1t is of itself
an act Of hospitality, and one which in
this country he will the moro appreciate
from its rarity. The advantages of the
business cigar are various. 1t predisposes
the mind to agreement, avoids awkward
pauscs and deprives silence of antagonism.
Instead of prolonging matters, as it
might be thought to do it shortens them
by doing away with superiluous talk. A
man with good cigar is indisposcd to
open his lips unless he has something to
say. In diplomacy can understand that
tobacco is even "A still more potent ally.

The Name of China.

We speak of "China" and the "Chi-
nese" little thinking that the natives OF
the Flowery Kingdom never hear those
terms until after leaving the place of their
birth or coming in contact with some
traveller. They have many names by
which they designate themselves and the
land which they inhabit, but 'Chncsc"
and "China" are not among the number.
The most ancient name of China is Tien-
Hia, which signifies beneath the sky. "
Since the present ruling house took con-
troll of the empire in 1860 the name of

The Bishops Reception.

A good story is told on Bishop Henry G.
Potter of New York. When the bishop
visited London several years ago, he was
invited to a reception by the English
bishops at Lambeth palace. He was ia
miliar with the conventional costume of
the highest order of the English church,
and in order to do honor to his hosts or
dered from u fashionable English tailor an
English bishops full outflt-full skirted
coat, knee breeches, shovel hat, silk apron
and all the rest of it. He donned this at
tire with some trepidation, but sustained
and soothcd by unfaltering trust in his
intuitions of propriety drove to the reccp-
ton in comfortable frame of mind.
What was his horror to discover every
other bishop present wearing long black
doeskin trousers and minus aprons and
shovel hats! Out of consideration for
their American visitor the English bishops
had all donned the costume with which
he was most familiar.
