SA Modern Pharisee.v

"Trilby" has created great sensation by developing a new phase of fiction, and now another story, by au unknown American author, has just been issued by G. W. Dillingham;, of New York, which will not fail to be read widely. "A Modern Pharisee" attacks sensation al journalism with a two edge sword, and it's cutting satire, hypocrites in relig- ious, political aud social life being the victims, will not fail of appreciation by honest men and women. Woman is a strong factor in the story, of course, the author staunchly defending her against the machinations of evil influences. This Modem Pharisee" is found in every community, and his portrayal will not fail to give the novel wide sale.

A UNIQUE MONUMENT.
Erected by New Yorker in a Massa-
 chusetts Graveyard.

Erected by a New Yorker in a Massa-
 chusetts Graveyard.
 Mir Edward l.. Snyder of P. W. Eugs < Son, New York city. has had erected on the family plot in the Mshaiwe ceme- tery at Great Burlington, Mass, a monu. mental cross which is an exact replica of the Celtic crosses, of which examples exist at Tralee and other ancient eccle- siastical centres in Ireland. The monu- ment, in addition to its beauty of detail, is of special interest in that it is the only example of the sort in this country, and is the work of Mir Lux. an Ameri. can artist.
 The scheme of composition in the Celtic crosses was adapted from pre-. Christian times. The distinctive flea. ture is the endless band. The pagan Celts used this in the sense in which Eastern peoples employed the serpent swallowing its own tail-to symbolize mortality. This interlsced decoration is to be found in the precious Book oI Kells.at present in tbe library of Triuity College, Dublin. and in many of the il luminated misssls and books of devo tion which have survived from early Celtic times.
