Literary Notes.

CHM & Co. announce for immediate publica-
ton All the Year Round by Miss Frances
St Paul. The book is in three parts, "Au-
tumn," Winter" Spring" and the series is
designed to tell in childs language, and
in a manner interesting to children, stories
of the natural object studied for a specific
day or lesson. The stories correspond in or
der of arrangement nearly as possible to
materials may be most readily obtained in our
latitude. The stories are illustrated by Miss
Gertrude ker,supervisor of drawing in our
schools.
Some one has been asking well-known writ
ers of the day which one of their own books
they prefer.
William Dean Howells thinks ga Modern
Instance" his strongest book, but likes I'm
dian Summer better
Conan Doyle burst into fame on account of
Sherlock Holmes, but he considers the series
the worst he ever did and killed the de-
tective because he did not wish to be identi-
fed with him any longer. He likes 1.-The
White Company"
Margaret Deland prefers "Philip and His
Wife" to her John Ward, Preacher
Marion Crawford rates "Zoroaster" above all
his later work; Mrs. Burnett loves "Fauntle-
roy best, though she knows Through One
Administration" is her strongest work, and
The Story Of Avis" is the favorite of Mrs
Phelps-Ward

Edison sums as: up in thirteen conclusions the

| of the fve-cent periodical. 1t is designed to
! be an intercollegiate journal, and will pub
iish chiefly the work of undergraduates. There
this line which 1.-The Lotus" promises to fill.
| 1t is very prettily printed on heavy straw-coI-
ored paper. Thus far its illustrations have
| been more piquant and spirited than the text
The Cambridge Magazine and The Shadow
are two more claimants for popular favor
! Both come from Cambridge Mass. and their
| tone, as might be expected, is less frivolous
| than that of many journals of similar pre-
| tensions. The former promises sketches by
Or. Parkhurst, Albert Shaw, Hamilton w.
Mabie, Mrs. Deland, Miss wilkins. etc. The
leading feature of the April number is an
| article on Ole Bull by his wife. The Shadow
Is conducted under the auspices of a more
| youthful company, and suggests college Jour
naIsm, though there is nothing about it
which, to an outsider, is directly referrable to
the university The caption under the title
| is deprecatory and suggestive.
Milwaukee has a magazinelet, too. It is
! called The Pilgrim, and the list of contributors
| to the April number includes Capt Charles
King, Sarah Barnwell Elliot. Charles Noble
Gregory and ex-Gov. Peck. Milwaukee is not
far away. This example of the prevalent
form OF literary enterprise so near us should
! make st. Paul thoughtful. Minneapolis will
| be having five-cent periodical next
