VALUE OF AMERICAN LITARA-
 TURF.

English critics of the beginning cf the century so convincingly set forth the reasons why America, abscl bsd in the conquest Of nature and in material progress, could not produce anything great in the way Of literature, that their arguments remain embsdded in many minds even to this day, when events have sonclusively falsifed them. It is quite a commonplace with sons people that America has not develop q American literature. If this merely mean that, in casting off her allegiance to George III, America did not cast of her allegiance to Chaucer, Shakespeare, Mil ten, Dryden, Addison, Swift, Pope, the rsproach, if it be one, must be ac- cep,ed If it be a humili2t;cn to American authors to own the tradi- tions and standards established by. these men, and thsreby en- roll themselves in their i'm mortal fellowship, why, then l5 must be owned that they have deliberately incurred that humiliation. One Amer ican of vivid originality tried to escape it, and with what result? Simply that Whitman holds a place Of his own, somewhat like that Of Blake one might say. in the literature Of the English language, and has produced at least as much effect in England as in America. If. on the other hand, it is implied that American literature feeb.y initiates English literature. ard fais to present an original and adequate interpretation of American life, DO reproacn c9uld well be more fagrantly unjust. It Is not only the abstract merit Of Ameri- can literature, though that ~s very high, but precisely the Amerlcanism O. it, that gives it it's value in the eyes Of all thinking Englishmen.-MT- Wi liam Archer in the Octcber Ptn Mall Me gazine.

GUNPCWDER IN HUNTING.

4 curious feature about the evolut On in methods of hunting was the heslta- ten with which gunpowder was taken up by the great nobles. Net only did it take quite 9 century to famiilaTlze hunters with it, but the evidence that has come down toi us shows that the humble classes were the first to use it for shooting game. Maximilian, ar dent sportsman that he was tells us himself that he could shcot further and with greater accuracy with his cross bow than his keeper could with the fire-tube. To prove this he tells us the well kncwn story of certain chamo,s standing at a distance Of two hundred fathoms, which, after being proncunc- ed as too far off by his henchman, who was armed with cne Of the first sport ing firearms mentioned in print. comes tumbling down, pierced at the first at tempt, by the emperor's bolt. Frcm other sources we lsarn Of strict me3s- ures being adopted to prevent poschers and '%woodlcafers' using firearms; and this at a period when primes still used the cumbrous crcss-bcw and spear. It was only in the last quarter Of the six teenth century that firearms had ousted other weapons fer certain forms Of tfe chase, the de7r-battue being among the latter.-Mr. ". \.

MRS. BURNETT'S PREDTCAMENT.

MRS. BJRNETT'S PREDTCAMENT
 Mrs Francis Hodgscn Burnett is i1 dfHculties concerning her name. Hav- ing obtained a divorce from her hus- band, she not unuatuTally wishes henceforth to be known as Mrs. Hcdg- son, but har publishers said that it was impossible The public had learned to know Mrs. Eodgson Burnett, but it would take years to convince them that Mrs. Hodgscn was the same perscn. Tn view of the frequency with which wo- msn authors are compelled to divorce their husbands, MT. Alden suggests in his London letter tcl the New York Times that it would probably be bast fer them to write under an assumed name, which would need no changes in the event of divcrce:
 Why so many women writers sh II find their husbands impossible is rath- CT 6 mystery. Dc they cutgrow their husbands? This does not seem quite prCDable, fer the reason that no amount of intellectual growth on the part Of wife can alter the fact that the husband is still the same brea4- winner that he was before she 5ried to write novels. Is it that the husband becomes tired of household nomi- nally conducted by a wife who writes books and despises housekeeping? But in these days wives seem to have very little to do with housekeeping, and therefore their value as housekeepers would not be much affected were they to take tci authorship. The nzcsc prob able explanation Of the frequency Cf divorces in households where tha wife is an author is that she insists upon reading her manuscripts to her hus- band, and then when he has taken to drink divcrces him. This is a terrible picture Of domestic infelicity, but that is Ec l~ason why it should not be true

COMPLAINT AGAINST THE CONSU-
 LAR SYSTEM.

l An American writing from London ] to the Providence Journal presents a
 severe indictment against the consular service of this country. All men know i that the system under which Ameri-
 can corsuls are chosen is a vicious one,
 but this writer's experience and closer
 vation have given him a worse opin-
 icn Of the service than that which gen
 orally prevails, and verse. we are glad to believe, than is really justified by
 all the facts. He relates how he went in search Of the United States consul at Moscow, the chief commercial city Of Russia, and found, after diligent search and inquiry, a little upstairs office, in most inaccessible place,
 where a card tackled cn the door gave notice that the office was open only from 5 to 7:30 D. m.-the hour when business is in great measure suspended for dinner. It was finally learned that the consul kept hardware shop in
 
 official business, so he could not be consulted upon matters connected with the consular office except at the hour named on the card which ornamented the deer Of his obscure consular head quarters. Tn Salonica, the second city Of Turkey, this correspondent found a Greek serving as United States consul "a man wholly wanting in knowledge Of American affairs and lacking the training required for the discharge of the duties Of the consular ofIice. h China this American traveler found. according to his testimony, that the consular jobs generally were hela py drunkards and loafers who spent their time in idlsness and brought the con- themselves and the government which they represented. Not all were Of this sort, fer there was Consul-Gensral Jernigan at Shanghai, an able and eff cient representative, but the average was very lew, and our minister at Pe- kin he describes as weak and gu lible" man, who had left his son in charge
 We think that the Providence Jour nal's correspondent has been peculiar ly unfortunate in the American cen sular officers that he has met and heard about in his travels. No fair minded person who reads the monthly consul lar reports issued from the state de partment at Washing gton will believe that the service is So bad. The letters sent to the department by hundreds Of consuls scattered over the world contain evidence Of observation and study Of the conditions prevailing in their respective fields of labor, and they are of real value to the commer- cial interests of the country But the fact remains that the system unCer l which ccnsuls are chosen is not a wholesome one. There is nc prCp-iety ! in dealing out consular plums as re- wards for political services, and the l growing sentiment in commercial cir cles against the practice should soon begin to bear fruit in the total ever throw Of this indefe nsipie system. The consular service should be entirely di- i vorced from politics. Fit men should 1 be chosen for it and their tenure of of fee should depend upon the efficiency Of their work, and not upon admins l tratiye changes.
