THE PRINCE AND THE PAUPER.

new library edition of one of Mark Twain's
better known books. While primarily written
as a story for boys and girls there is much in
the work that has proved attractive to readers
of larger growth.
The story deals with the adventures of
poor London boy, Tom Canty, with
Edward VI of England at the time
when he was heir-apparent to the throne.
The young Prince insisted that the boy
change places with him-that he assume the
royal insignia of Office, which he obligingly re-
signs.
The humorist appears to have drawn largely
upon his imagination in describing the every
day ceremonial of a king robing himself
in his everyday clothes. This function Mr..
Clemens describes in manner strongly rem
iniscent of "The Gondoliers," and with
minuteness worthy OF Mr.. Gilbert himself
Instance:
ain the beginning shirt was taken up by
the Chief Equerry in Waiting, who passed it
to the First Lord of the Buckhounds, who
passed it to the Second Gentleman of the Bed
chamber who passed it to the Head Ranger
of Windsor Forest, who passed it TO the
Third Groom of the Stole, who passed il to
the Chancellor Royal of the Duchy of Lancas-
ter. who passed it to the Master of the Ward
robe, who passed it to the Norroy King at
Arms, who passed it to the Constable of the
Tower, who passed it to the Chief Steward of
the Household, who passed it to the Hered-
itary Grand Dlaperer, who passed it to the
Lord High Admiral OF England who passed
it to the Archbishop of Canterbury, who
passed it to the First Lord of the Bed
chamber"
without attempting to follow the London
Saturday Review, which reviewed the "Inno-
cents Abroad seriously es work of travel ~
there exists in our mind some little curiosity
regarding the source of Twain's data. We
imagine that neither Hume nor Green would
make himself responsible for picturing the
Archbishop of Canterbury in the charac-
ter of a valet. Despite these little
drawbacks, born of a too fertile Imagination,
s'The Prince and the Pauper' is good story.

TALES OF FANTASY AND FACTS.

This is a collection of short stories from the
pen OF that clever writer, Brander Matthews.
In "The Dream-Gown of the Japanese Am
bassador," he gives an odd example of the
scientific belief of the working of the sub
consciousness, while in ''The Twinkling of an
Eye" Dutch clock plays the detective most
successfully. In the Kaleidoscope of Time
many forgotten scenes pass before the readers
eye. and 1.-THE Rival Ghosts turns on the
humorous idea of two spooks trying to excel
each other in their ghostly performances, and
in the end they are reconciled and married.

Library collections will show that
half a hundred histories of California to
this date have been written. Some few
are good, the majority are poor, and
some are outrageously bad and unreli-
able. One is altogether too long and de-

color; another is too ardent; another
too f1orid; another too practical and
commercial. There is not, perhaps, in

The Canadian market depresses the
Eastern market for poultry. and the
eastern poultry producers send over
their goods to California and depress
our market-all for want of sufficient
protection at the Canadian border. The
year prior to the Mckinley tariff going
into force we imported into the United
States S2,Ol4,912 worth of eggs; but
the next year the imports fell down to
S1,lSo,o9o, and in the last year of the
tariff under the Mckinley schedule the
fall of such imports was to 1892 617. A
lively and long tumble that, to be sure.
and all on account Of protection. Yet
eggs are of the smallest Of our products
that need protection.

Senator Foraker of Ohio very wittily
and very sharply hit the Democracy in
his Columbus speech when he told of
the effort of the party to exclude the
tariff issue from this campaign. The
Democracy, said he, has started a new
issue. Why have they made a new
issue? he asked. And then he proceeded
to answer his own question:
Did not the Democracy know every
thing there was to know from the be-
ginning? 1 will tell you why it is we
have new issue. They have run com
pletely out on the old. They were
whipped to a standstill before they
started on the tariff, and they were de-
feated before they started in on the
tariff, because, unlike 1892, we now,
all of US, understand the tariff ques-
ton.
There is whole sermon of truth in
that statement. The Democrats re-
fuse to debate the tariff issue because
experience is against them.
