St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1896-01-12

| uprooting inherited evil The novel
| contains striking and realistic pictures
| of Scandinavian life and society, but
the reader will probably wonder be-
| fore putting down the book how it
| was that a writer capable of produc-
| ing such exquisite and wholesome idyls
| as was Biornson, should be denied the
knowledge that one story like "a Hap
| by Boy is more potent for good than
| thousand like 1.-The Heritage of the
Hurts" One reason why art is long is
that man is misguided. It would be
worth debating whether commercial
opportunity or over-much ethical Sc
robustness has destroyed the greater
number OF artists. The latter is the
| more dignified, but also the more alb
solute, method Of destruction.
Lowell, CoryelI & Co. also publish a
new edition of "An Old Maids Love-"
which, while it is one of the earlier
novels whereby Maarten Martens
achieved success, still remains his
strongest and most interesting piece
of work

The contents of the twenty-eighth
volume of the Century Magazine are
already pretty well known TO the low
ers of what is best in current 1itera-
ture but it is not amiss to recall that
in the way of serial fiction it contains
the last half of casa Braccio," all
of Miss Magruder's "The Princess
Sonia" and THE Cup of Trembling"
by Mary Hallock Foote. In history
there are six of Prof. Sloane's papers
upon Napoleon; four valuable articles
upon Lincoln, Miss Bicknells interest
ing Life in the TuiIeries Under the
Second Empire" 1.-THE Battle of the
Yalu," by p. T. McGiffen; Senator
Dawes paper upon 1.-TWO Vice Presi-
dents" and other articles of less i'm
portance. In art there are four of
Timothy Coles engravings from
Dutch and Flemish masters, two pic
lures in the american Artist series,
and a host of illustrations-notably
those by Castaigne and Loeb-whose
value is quite independent of the arti-
cles they accompany. The volume is
rich in short stories, verse and literary
criticism.

ton of humorous stories by the author
of Hypnotic Tales" When Mr.. Ford
writes a humorous story it is more
likely to be funny than not-which is
distinction that not all professional
humorists can claim. The initial story,
which is easily the best of this bakers
dozen of sketches, tells how the intrud-
ing commercial Philistines who came to
see Bohemia feed" at Garibaldis 40
cent table d'hote were routed by
their own tactics.

min and Cum, and the Wonder
Head Stories" is a little book CT tales
for children. With their mixture of
everyday detail and touches of the
marvellous, they are just the sort of
stories that the very little folks want
to hear, and then to hear over again.
The verdict of these youthful con-
noisseurs will probably be that there
are not enough of them, for the pretty
volume is a slender one.
