1t is rather lame compliment to say Of
writer that his style suggests another
II suggests imitation, willful or unwill-
full; if the latter, then, at least,
there remains the igma Of unorigi-
nality. SO of Alvan Sanborn, as re
Elected in his volume of short stories,
Meg McIntyre's RATTLE" published by
Copeland & Day, let it be said that with
an abundance of originality and without
the Implication of having initiated, his style
suggests Dickens. Rem otely, to be sure
but one finds the same playful ina gerry
and personification of the inanimate which
gave dignity to furniture, pride to door
with their expressive faces.
Otherwise, Mr. Sanborn writes pleas-
antly and brisky, but without distinc-
ton. The first Of the eleven stories clus-
tered under the single title, is better than
any Of the others, but no one will resent
the impetus given in its reading for it
will carry him through the book swim
mingly. Mr.. Sanborn's excelIencieS are a
triflc tedious. If he only became flash
ingly brilliant i times, and by turn dropped
to monotonous stratum, the unevennesS
would greatly stimulate. But no, every
thing in the book is good and correctly
wholesome, appetizing and satisfactory.
without raising the writer to personal dis
tlnctlon. A book is always remembered for
Its best points, and when they are good is
never condemned for its worst

Thefullest measure Of Monsigneur de Sala-
mon did not overtake him until nearly a
century after his death. Every student
Of French history knows him as one
oftheearthlings whom the strange winds of
the Revolutionary period buffeted about on
the crest Of the waves of things, but only
one of many. Ina perfunctory way history
has preserved his name to US as Inter
nUncio at Paris during the last ten years
OF the last century, but he has been an
indistinct figure without individuality or
relief
Packed away obscurcly, but securely, in
the dust of hundred years We're the me-
moirs which were to change all this ami
give him distinction. They fell into the
hands of the Able Bridier, one of the clergy
OF Paris, and lie edited them, or, as he ex.
presses ii in French, made their toilet
and published them. Their reception by
the critical scholars and scholarly critics
was unanimous in that they were a great
acquisition to tie history of the period
which they cover. The translation, issued
from the press of Little, Brown & Co, de-
serves TO duplicate this cordial reception
in tins country.
Salamon was in all things sincere. This
is the permeatinG qualification Of every
chapter. He has written as he saw and
believed. He has held the mirror up to
his own memory and to his conscience, and
written what has reflected. The result is
a vast fund of new, important, interesting,
and calculated to clear many points here
tOfore at issue, or, at least, in doubt. The
colloquial character OF the narrative, as
well as the vivid personal quality gives
the memoirs a charm of their OWE and
removes from them the Indictment of
tediousness. For years they have been
in the hands of Italians who did not know
that the manuscripts they possessed We're
OF any especial value or even that a real
Bishop de Salamon had ever lived. But
Horace wrote years ago that books have
destinies. the destinies of the poSsesscrs
themselves.

Readers OF the Atlantic Monthly will re-
call the series Of Talks and Autographs
by George Eirkbeck Hill. Perbaps many
kept the magazine copies for the sake OF
these readable and valuable articles. The
Houghtons have rcpuOlishcd them, how
ever, in fittingly sumptuOus volume so
that all lovers OF literary anecdote, all
autograph coHnoisseurs, and all admirers
of a beautiful book generally may have
it in convenient and permanent form Auto
graphs are a topic of interest to nearly
every one. man writes his personality
into hs penmanship ana the letters his pen
has formed and the paper his very hand
has touched beget feeling of proximity
which does scarcely any other souvenir.
Mr.. Hill has not, however written of
the autograph hunter in the promiscuous
and common sense. He concerns himself
with the rarer treasures which the "fend"
hardly dares desire: letters and manu-
scripts which have aruther interest than
in the mere script, an interest contingent
upon their matter and not merely their
form.
Great pains have been taken TO make the
book valuable pictorially. Everyone who
reads his pages is, of course, personally
interested In the handsome portrait of Mr.
Hill. which W. K. SymondS has made for
the frontiSpicCc. Further along there are
carefully prepared facsimile letters Of

the other day, says London Tit-Bits
ANY monotonous sound near them. the
hum Of traffic outside or even the
scratching of a clerk pen is sufficient
to induce a feeling Of sleepiness which
1t is almost impossible to resist.
The worst OF it is that this symptom
is so seldom regarde! &c anything seri-
Gus. though l have known it TO be the
beginning of critical mental trouble.
Far more often, however, il is merely
the effect of constitutional ccentricity,
though in either case few simple rem
edies might be tried with advantage.
For instance, l always advise the old
indigestion cure-a glass of hot water
when the feeling comes on. To keep
the eyes tightly closed for three or four
mir utes and then battle them in very
warm water often gives relief at once.
And another good idea is TO lower the
head for few seconds to a level with
the knees. Above all, one should never
give in to the feeling of drowsiness by
taking short nap in the hope of wax
ing up brighter after it.
AT the same time the condition of
the Office might be looked to. The

the guise Of friendship, it advocates a
policy that would deprive them of work.
or force them to labor for starvation
