THE PUNCH CARTOONS.
They Are Selected at Weekly Dinner
During Smoking Interval.

They Are Selected at Weekly Dinner
During Smoking Interval.
1t is generally known that the cartoons
in Punch are decided upon at weekly
dinner, but the process of selecting the
subject is not quite so well known. Mr..
NJ. III. Spielmann gave recently in the
Magazine of Art description of the pro-
cess:
When dinner is over and coffee finished,
the cloth removed and paper and pens
brought in-at s: 80 as near as may be-the
cigars come on and the walters go off Tin
Guiding at one time the crusted Burnap,
an original worthy of Robert" himself) !;
and not more rigidly was the press ex-
Guided from the Ministerial whitehall
dinner, in the good old times than are
Cabinet Ministers interdicted from the
dinner of Mr.. Punch to-day
Then the editor, who has been presiding,
invites ideas and discussions on the sub
iect of the "big cut" as the cartoon is
commonly called, and no two men listen
more eagerly to the replies-sugges tons
that may be haZarded or proposals dogmati-
cally slapped down-than Mr.. Burnand,
who is responsible for the subject, and Sir
John Tenniel (their beloved "Jackides"l
whose duty it will be to realize the con-
cedtion.
reflects and weighs, thinking not so much,
perhaps, of the political or social as of thu
artistic possibilities of the subjects as they
are brought up, and other points that rec
ommend themselves both to the artistic
and literary mem bers of the staff All the
while, perhaps, the editor has fine SUBJ
ject up his sleeve. and only brings it
forth when the discussion has begun to
wane. Or a proposal may be
made at first by one member of
the staff that is accepted at
once by acclamation-an event of the ut
most rarity; or, again, as is usually the
case, the final decision may be gradually
and almost painfully evolved from the
symposium of professional wits and liter
airy politicians. This is the time when the
men are apt to lay bare their political be-
liefs Gf any such they have) or their lack
of them; and wager that if poor Keene
could once more be present at Punch
dinner, he would no longer charge it
against the staff that it is "Museo" to a
man.

UP TO DATE PRIMER.

In the interest of the single-tax propa-
ganda there has been issued small vol
ume bearing the title The Up to Date
Primer" which is announced as "the first
book of lessons for little political econo-
mists, in words of one syllable with pic
lures" Rent is pictured as rat and the
single tax as cat, the one consuming the
weaker of men and the other seeking to
save it by destroying the enemy. In a
similar simple form of allegory other doc
trines of the single tax advocates are
taught, and to persons who are pleased
with the primer style of literature the
work may be found interesting, though it
can hardly be called instructive to any,
body. THE Up to Date Primer" by J.

Lone Time Between Mans.

David Jones, Elwood's sleepless man,
who three years ago went ninety-o ne nights
and days without sleep, and who broke
upon another period of sleeplessness which
promises to eclipse all former efforts. His
health does not suffer and his appetite is
always good. He is unable to reach any
satisfactory conclusions relative to his
strange affection. He has now gone
twenty-one days and nights without sleep,
and he says that he feels as if he would
never sleep any more. He is serving as a

There is also the usual amount of space
devoted to verse and fiction, as we'll as to
book reviews and fashion notes.
The Cosmopolitan Magazine is well up
in literary features and is marvel of good
value for the price at which it is sold-10
cents. There are numerous well-written
articles in the February number. An in
novation is noticed in the book reviewing
department to which such literary lights
as Andrew Lang and Israel Zangwill con-
tribute essays. The frontispiece, Exam
lining the Wedding Cards" is a charming
piece of color work.

CONTRIBUTIONS TO BIOLOGY.

David Starr Jordan and Edwin Chaplin
are the authors of a paper on 1.-THE Fishes
of Puget Sound" which has just been pub
iished by the Stanford University. The
gentlemen spent portion of the summer
of 1895 pursuing their Investigations in the
waters about Seattle and at Neah Bay,
near Cape Fla ttery, in the Straits of Juan
de Fuca. They found many species of fish
that were new to science, and deposited
types of them all in the museum at Stan
ford University. The paper records al
species in Puget Sound. In 1892 DR.. Carl
ID. Eigenmann recorded LOG species, and
in 1880 Messrs. Jordan and Gilbert men,
toned on their list 80 species of the finny
inhabitants of Puget Sound. The memoir
is edited by Charles H. Gilbert and Oliver
z. jerks, and is the third of a series de-
signed to illustrate the Investigations and
explorations of the Hopkins Seaside La
boratory, an adjunct of the biological
laboratories OF the Stanford University.
Numerous plates, drawn by Miss Anna l..
Brown, artist of the Hopkins Seaside
Laboratory, illustrate the paper, which
also forms part of the proceedings of the
California Academy OF Sciences.

Half the volume is devoted to prose
descriptive chapters of battles, the author
detailing, among other things, his ex-
periences and the facts that came under
his notice while he was performing the
duties of an army surgeon at Antietam
and Gettysburg. In justice to the author
it should be said that he is far more sue
cessful as a writer of prose than he is as
writer of verse. Bad poetry is less excus-
able than bad prose, while ordinary prose

Than BY all of the world beside;

With a song we could sing together,

And another love than thine
iWoaid rather be crowned with you, sweet
Than TO king with the fairest queen
iWou'0 rather be poor with you, sweet,
Meath the shadowy 6eechen green,
With your cheek my own cheek dreaming
And your kisses upon my face,
Than to lie amid treasures cleaning
In another loves embrace.
Iwouid rather be near to you, sweet
Than to win immortal name
would rather be dear to you sweet,
Than to leave an undying fame
In the minds of a mighty hrong, sweet

And there's nothing that lasts so long, sweet

Police Captain Martens entered the East Thir-

He closed the door behind him. Suddenly tho
