A Really HlsforIcaI NnxeI.

To produce a so called historical novel mas beeG attempted by many, but with indifferent success by the majority, SC far as history is concerned. Alike the best known and the most successful authors of this class are Scott, Kings ley and Lytton. In grouping books of this type in au order of merit based on their historical worth. it cannot be de- nied that ''Tbe Last of the Barons' should be awarded the first place, with "Henry Esmond and "Hereward the Wake" bracketed as second. Victor Hugo's "L' Historic d 'un Crime, "wbich has been called ':the apotbeosis of the special correspondent, is a notable ex. ample of a contemporary history writ ten under thin disguise of fiction.- Pearson's Weekly.

A Scotsman Who Ruled Russia.

Although not generally known, it is @ matter of history that an alien, a Scotsman, once held the reins of gov ernment in Russia, and to him that country owes her civilization, govern ment and present position among the nations. Patrick Gordon was born in Auchleuchries. Aberdeenshire, March 31, 1885. His father was of the Haddo branch of the Gordons, and his mother was an Ogilvie. He went to seek his fortune in Russia and became a soldier of great bravery in the Russian army in the time of Alexis and had now attained the rank of colonel. By his bravery and success he gained the love of the army and the esteem of the whole nation and had under his control I2. 900 newly formed soldiery, who were un- der foreign officers in the town of Mos COW. Gordon himself had the czar's command not to leave the capital, but his authority extended over all provinces except those in which the southern army were engaged under General Shein, yet the latter had express orders from the ozar not to undertake anything of mo- ment with General Gordon's advice.- Scottish American.
