DAWN
(Figure on the tomb of Lorenzo de Medici)
Unfinished? Nay, the Dawn is but a soul
That hovers, doubtful, in this mortal
air;
TITS we would mould and shape the perfect
whole,
And weave each day her garments fine
and fair.
A face half seen, with wistful, kindlng
eyes,
That woos and beckons but eludes us
still;
Out of the brooding, pulsing dusk she
cries,
"Lo, am born! come clothe me as you
will"

represented in the worship of Bacchus
in its due relation with other religious
world-ideas. In the elemental stage OF
the Bacchus cult, as every student or
reader of world-literatures knows, the
virginia. and pure womanly element was
prominent, as in the Christian Incarna-
| ton, which is a later form of the same
| idea. There was an utter exclusion Of
men from the rites celebrated by wo-
men, and the libertinism attributed to
| it by Boston remonstrants is simply
| ignorant, and as suitable an estimate
of an artistic expression of the Bacchic
cult as the ordinary aspersions of the
Christianity of the Catacombs INDUCED
| in by prejudiced Romans.
1.-The root idea in the Bacchus myth
seems to have been stirred by sense
of the potentiality of life in the teemine
earth hence by the divinity of Zeus was
the fiery fluid altar distilled to become
a joyous god singing his votaries to de-
lirium of delight. Mr.. Walter Pater
makes a similar explanation. 1t was the
| lightning of heaven upon the dew, lib
Grating a liquid joy and persuading
the fleshly life to divine ecstacy.
And again:
1T is not complimentary to the genu-
| ineness of the culture or to the artistic
capacity and poetic sense of the clique
| that has been meddling over the Bac-
chante that it can see nothing in her but
| an encouragement to strong drink
This little clique, however has ven
tured so to interfere as to deprive Bos

HIS EXCELLENCY (Son Exc. Eugene
Rougon). BY Emile Zola. The Mac
MILAN company.
This, the only authorized London edi.
| ton of Zola's great romance of the Sec
ond empire, is uniform with Rome,
and is superb volume of $50 pages. We
may say what we please about lola S
faults, measured by a critical moral
standard, but there can be but one opin-
ion about his power as writer on such
themes as this. He is giant, and 9th
ing less. 1t was complainingly said of
Rome" that there was nothing new in it,
and that it was merely the using Of old
matter. Well, suppose this to be true
what of it? Who has said anything new
about Rome for centuries? And who has
said anything new about anything, for
that matter, absolutely and distinctively
new? The fact is we are all working
over old things, as the worms are end
Ilessly puiverizing the old earth. Moth
ing new is said about George Washing
ton, in detail, but the massing and the
shading of facts and views goes steadily
on, and this very year has seen three
new Olives of him. And so of all great
historical characters and historical
events; and it is in these matters as 1t
is in literature itself There is no point
of absolute judgment and Anal silence
and rest. He who writes must write of
the old, and it only remains to write well.

Messrs Little, Brown & Co. of Bos-
ton have now ready the first volume of
William Laird Cloves History of the
Royal Navy, From the Earliest Times
to the Present Day." Mr.. Cloves has
been assisted in the compilation of this
work by Captain Hahan, Sir Clemen Is
Markham, Mr.. H. w. Wilson, Mr.. Theo-
dore Roosevelt. The book will be splen-
didly illustrated. There will be five
volumes in all, the first now appearing;
the other four will be issued at inter-
walls OF about six months.
Outdoors is a new monthly, and the
title suggests its aim. This magazine is
devoted to the interests of the sports
man, naturalist and traveller. The start
it makes is an excellent one, the con-
tents of the initial number being both
varied and interesting. The illustrations
are very good, and the cover is made in
the best possible TASTE. 1t is pleasant
to learn in Outdoors that I'M. Isaac Nc
Lellan, the author of "Haunts of Wild
Came, now in his ninety first year, still
enjoys outdoor sports with gun and rod.
The Partisan, now in it's second vol
ume, is decided success and occupies
an entirely new field. 1t is publication
which keeps abreast with current
French litera ture and treats of art crit
icism, biography, history and fiction. In
tn July number there may be found THE
Paris Salon." Alphone Daudet's Aria
tan Treasure" "Expiation," Getters Of
Women), by Marcel Prevot. "The Ro-
nance of a Queen" "A Duel rAmeri-
CAIN" and 1.-THE Bank of France" The
TRANSACTIONS are all we'll done, and in
addition the Partisan is profusely Illus
trated.
The twenty-fourth annual meeting of
the Society to Encourage Studies at
Home, held in Boston early in June,
was its last. The death OF Miss Anna
Ticknor some months ago removed the
leading spirit of the organization, and
aside from the lesser need for it, since
the Chautauqua work, begun at the
same time, and other kindred schemes
have grown to be what they are, the
greater demand upon the energies of
cultivated women has made the further
conduct of this Boston enterprise, which
first and last has ministered to the
minds Of seven thousand, women, seem
unadyisable. But it is to be perpetuated
in the Anna Ticknor Librabry associa-
tion. Rooms have been secured in
Trinity court for the society's valuable
books, microscopes, photographs and
other helps to study, and by paying a
membership fee of no prohibitive
amount, women, however remote from
Boston, may still make use Of these
things and provide themselves with ju-
dicious study lists"

Lost nerve power in bladder. rectum, bowels,
nervous twichngs and neuralgias. That these
conditions require the skill of an expert special
ist is evident from the fact that sufferers fail to
find relief at the hands of the ordinary physician.

only visit any of the patients whom we have
cured and whose testimonials have appeared
in the daily papers. To be assured that our
specialist deserves their fullest confidence you

GEMS OF THOUGHT

From Maurice Maeterlinck's new vol
ume we take two extracts that are I'M
commonly fine specimens Of thought as
we'll as of beauty of construction:
One bit from the chapter called "On
Women"
with reverence must wa draw near
to them, be they lowly or arrogant, in
attentive or lost in dreams, be they smil-
ing still or plunged in tears; for they
know the things we do not know, and
have a lamp that we have lost. Their
abiding place Is at the foot itself of the
Inevitable, whose well-worn paths are
visible to them more clearly than to us.
And thence it IS that their strange in
buttons have come to them, their grav-
ity at which we wonder; and we feel
that, even in their most trifling actions,
they are conscious of being upheld by
the strong, unerring hands of the gods"
And the other paragraph from 1.-THE
3nvisible Goodness"
'Those VINO do not know you, who are
merely told of your acts of goodness and
leeds Of love--if you be not good accord
ing to the invisible goodness, these, even,
will feel that something is lacking, and
they will never be touched in the depths
of their being. One might almost believe
that there exists somewhere a place
where all is weighed in the presence of
the spirits, or perhaps out yonder, the
other side Of the night, reservoir of
certitudes whittier the silent herd of
souls flock every morning to Stake their
thirst"
