SIC VITA EST-By Sue Freeman Matthews
G. W. Dillingham; & Co., New York. Price ST. so
For sale by the san Francisco News Company
Market street.
This is good story. 1t is religious and it is
entertaining. 1t opens with description of a
number OF interesting young women at col
lege together, and thence continues their his
tory out into society and through love, mar
riage and varied miseries, misunderstandings
and happinesses; weaving through it all
thoughts of Gods watchful care over human
events, and showing the beauty of faith in the
womens characters. Part of the first chapter
is devoted to an account of the proceedings of
a prayer-meet ting conducted by the young
ladies, which is quite model for piety and
cleverness com bined. In the portrayal of the
nature of Lucille Romayne there is displayed
the power of making life happy from sources
within the heart under both good and evil
happenings. In conversation which Marguer-
ite who has practical turn, is carrying on
with her prospective sister-in-law, Claire who
is that sort OF religious being Mrs. Humphry
Ward would call mystic Marguerite says
"You are spiritual and am human; you live
with Christ and with his people, and may
not our united lives link them close to-
gethsr?"
In a conversation between these two in their
college days Claire links playfulness with
Providence in sending her sorrow because of a
blunder in her lesson and its reprimand She
said the teacher set her to write an essay on
melancholy, and it was found necessary to
bring about something to make her low

STRANGE STORIES.

THE DESIRE OF THE EYES-Bv Grant Allen.
r.. F. Femme q Co, New York. Price 81 25.
"The Desire OF the Eyes" is the first of
collection of thirteen rather commonplace
stories, and is SO much better than some OF
the Others it probably deserves the honor of
giving its name to the whole bunch. In it the
hero displays noble loyalty to a girl who
loved him, but offers to give him up be cause
she had become disfgured by smallpox. The
general heading through the book is Strange
Stories, and some OF them VIII make strangely
disagreeable reading to any Southern white
man who might attempt their dull pages,
however much they might please mulatloes
and such whites as can contemplate mis-
cegenation without disgust. AS tastes differ
it may be fairest to give an extract of the
style in one of the stories in which he tells of
fine handsome English girl falling in love
with and marrying full-blooded negro from
Africa: "To say the truth, John Creely, in
spite of his black face, dazzled poor Ethel, for
he was more of a scholar and q gentleman
than anybody with whom she had ever before

NEGRO TYPES.

SOLOMON CROWS CHRISTMAS POCKETS
and other tales-By Ruth McEnery Stuart.
Harper Bros, New Yolk. Price 81 %. For
sale by A. NJ Roberts, Post street, City.
New Orleans and its vicinity is the scene OF
these ten short stories which deal mainly with
negro types. The first one relates how kind
lady developed the nobleness in little negro
boy so that from a rogue he became trust.
worthy. He had been forbidden the use OF
pockets by his employer and he felt the degra-
dation keenly. When Christmas came and his
lady benefac:ress asked what he would like
for his gift, he eagerly begged for pockets. A
whole outfit of them we're given him in fine
suit of clothes and the black boy ever after
again purloined anything.
In the story called "Blfnk," which tells of q
young girls struggle TO support her infirm
father, there is a criticism made by her old
black "mammy" which is worth noting The
girl is trying to write stories and the old
woman is very anxious to help her, saying she
had never crayed education before. "Look ter
me, baby" nanny suggested another night,
after listening to highly imaginative story
"look ter me like ef-et-ef you's des write
down some truly truth what is ac-chilly
happened, an glorify it wild education, hit ID
des nachelly stan in book" The next story
was written under the old woman's directions
and it was a success.
The story called fQuackalina'' is very pa
thetic. Quackalina was a duck. The farm
er's boy took the eggs out of her nest and put
a lot of guinea eggs under her, which she
hetched out, but when she looked at their
feet and saw that they would never swim "it
was great shock to her" The book ends
with g pretty poem called "May Be Son

the sub jects OF his famous eanvases.
After taking a number of preliminary
sketches of the Poles face the artist engaged
him to come alta certain hour the next Sun
day night to pose for the picture which is to
be the great effort of his life. AT the ap-
| pointed hour Wladislaw went TO the studio,
but before seeing the painter he entered the
dressing-room to don the simple white wool
garment in which he was to pose. He heard
sounds OF wild revelry, but supposed they
came from the adjoining studio of sculptor.
He supposed the artist, Dufour who had en-
gagged him, was busy on his great picture AS
he drew the curtain back at the entrance to
Dufour's room he beheld a crowd of half
drunk men and women at their revels. Du-
four raises a wavering arm, and with a
drunken smile of intelligence exclaimed, "Ah,

Archaic Nannerisms Of the Old "Jater" and
"Spectator" Revived in the West.
California Is Determined Further Convince the Eastern Cities of It's
artistic and Literary Discriminatory and "Phylida IS
Intended to Help Along the Good Work

PHYLLIDA, OR THE MILKMAID, is the
novel title of the latest literary phenomenon
a small, four-page journal which in makeup
and typography defies the latter-day conVen-
tionahties. San Francisco is the home of this
"Bi-weekly Review, devoted to Literary Topicks
and Reflections on the Do1ngs of the Town, "
and its purpose is to revive the short sub
jective essay and prove CaliforDia's claims to
literary notice.
The typography of this newest venture into
journalism will effectually discount its inter-
est to many readers who cannot read through
columns of long ''s's' without hsping or re-
garding them as 'fs" and the free use OF
italics and small capitals will bewilder those
who are not versed in the vogue OF the early
days of the eighteenth century.
Phyllida is a very accurate and consistent
revival of the archaic mannerisms of the old
Taller, Spectator and Idler, and her spelling
would seem more familiar to Addison and
Steele than to present-day readers Such
words as ''shew," "preferr'd," ''crit1ck" and
"honour'' appear frequently upon the pages
of the Milkmaid and. add to the quaint old
time aspect.
Phyllida is published and edited by Gelett
Burgess and Porter Garnett, both of the Lark,
and they have besides, as contributors to the
initial number, Bruce Porter, C. S. Aiken,
Mary Very and Geraldine Bonner. Several
other writers CT local prominence are inter
ested in the venture, including members of
the faculties OF both universities. If the en-
terprise is not hurt at its inception by the
freakish aspect of its get-up there is no doubt
that it may do a good work in bringing to-
gether California writers for the good of the
whole community, which has had such work
in convincing Eastern cities OF its artistic and
literary discrimination.

TOLD BY A NAVAL COMMANDER

THE SHIPS COMPANY, and other Sea People.
BY ]. d. Jerrold Kelly, Q. $. n. New York:
Harper & Bros. Price 81 so. For sale by A.
NJ. Robertson, Post street, City.
The fascination of the sea is increased and
curiosity about it gratlfed by these eight ex-
cellently written sketches of life aboard ship.
There are graphic descriptions of what life is
like on board of a man-of-war, a costly pleas
ure-yacht and the great, swift passenger
steamer, from the lookout in the foretop down
TO the sitting stokehole. Lieutenant-Co Com
mander Kelly is thoroughly familiar with his
subject, and has breezy and salty way OF
telling things relating TO travel over the briny
deep. The book is profusely illustrated with
full-page pictures, one of which, representing
young boy "Going Aloft,' is especially fine
In these pages we get acquainted with the
ships company, and among them are taught
to sincerely admire the type of purser ana doc
tor, who are highly commended for the un-
falling courtesy with which, in spite of being
hourly harried with the hundred little miser-
les Of other people, they go eheerily about
their business. About the superstitions of the
sailors we read with wonder, and there is
thrilling interest in the spirit of Limbogen,"
which is a tale of ocean heroism and disaster
and final rescue by the operation of some oc-
cult agency.
Boys who wish to join the navy and their
friends who take an interest in their career
will here find much about midshipmen, old
and new. The ''Rigor of the Came tells of
the stern discipline of the sailor life and how
bravely he bears it; but the hardship is shown
to be mere trife compared to the brutalities
which had to be borne in former days when
fogging was common for minor faults and for
great ones the horrible kee. hauling was in
ficted.
Best of all, perhaps. is the amusing descrip-
tion OF the "Queer Pets of Sailor jack" Over
the portrayal of the pet pig, Dennis O'Kerry,
who was so well beloved by the sailors that
they coulo not possibly eat him, the reader
may laugh till he grows as fat as Dennis got
on the rum and other good things the sailors
shared with him. His name was Dennis, but
fortune smiled upon him.

had the chance of conversing" "And after all.
John Greedy was in all essentials an educated
English gentleman, with the same chivalrous
feelings toward a pretty and attractive girl
that every Englishman ought to have" "And
Ethel really did to some extent love him
already" There is another tale almost as dis
agreeable OF love affair between white girl
and heather Chinee, but this one was miti-
gated somewhat by having the love strictly
platonic. 1t is well TO recognize that goodness
and greatness and hero.sm can dwell beneath
skins of ell colors, but when il comes to tell
ing OF love between the sexes, where English
and American girls feel the tender passion for
negroes and Chinese, the subject is too dis
gus ting for fiction founded on it to be COM
mended.

FINELY FINISHED.

DUST IN THE BALANCE-By George Knight.
r. F. Femme & Co.. New York. Price 81 rs.
Nineteen sketches in one volume, all finely
polished by a literary lapidary who knows
we'll when he has found gem of an idea how
10 cut IL down to symmetry and make 1T flash
and sparkle, in this work OF George Knights
give the reader ample variety OF pathos,
humor and wit. Short stories are now having
their day, and they are said to be more diti-
cult TO write than long ones. What Is wanted
by many is a literary treat which can be en-
loved in fifteen minutes, or half an hour, and
then let them back to work again without too
much reluctance. When long story is really
good it is difficult to find within It stopping
Dlaces where one can feel satisfied to pass from
its delights to pull up against the collar OF the
duties we are hitched to. From the tempta-
ton to stay with a book too long the short
story saves us, and this collection can be rec
commended to those who love good story but
whose leisure is too brief for long one.
The story of Sir Folly, the Kings fool, is
good one to sample the book with, ana those
who read it will want some more from the
same mind The Jester leads on In TINS
tragedy by stabbing the profigate son OF the
King with his keen wit The Princes revenge
is to ruin peasant girl and then moeKlhEIy
say TO the noble Jester, "You said all women
we're vour sisters +" The next stab of the
lester is done with steel, and on the haft OF
the knife as it remains in the breast so false
poem is impaled by Sir Folly ere he fees. The
motto used for this tale is the well-known sem
tence which we are told in the Old Testament
the brothers of Dlnah uttered in explana-
ton OF their revenge. Most OF the notices are
taken from the Bible and are very apt.
one of the cleverest in the book is the ap-
propriately named "Tantalus." 1t tells OF
