A WORD WITH KIPLING.
Some Advice From n Critic Who
Loves Him Well.

Loves f1ln W ths
From the London Saturday Review.)
Mr. Kipling must hold himself we'll in
hand. No one now before the world is in
a position more perilous. 1t is depressing
70 be underestimated, and may even have
a baleful effect upon the temper. But to
be overestimated is far more dangerous to
those qualities which man needs in the
prosecution of his daily work. We shall be
asked whether it is true that Rudyard
Kipling has been overestimated. and what
is our reason for attacking" him We
have seen this word used half a dozen
times within as many months to describe
attempts, of a wholly sympathetic char
acter, to discriminate in the praise of Mr.
Kinpling. We will. therefore-although to
attack this delightful and even splendid
national hero is not within the circle of
our thoughts-answer the question in a
bold Affirmative. Mr.. Kipling has been, and
now habituaily is, overpraised. The Ian
guage adopted regarding him would be ex-
cessive, because unbalanced and irrational
if it were applied to Sir Walter Scott, to
Tennyson, to Victor Hugo. Ten years
have passed, and no more since the won
derful boy published THE Story of the
Gadsbys," and already he is raised on a
pinnacle of golden alteration higher. per-
haps, than any author has ever reached in
his lifetime. The world grovels at his feet
and those few of US who have kept our
heads gaze up into the dim air to see
whether the little figure high in the shim-
mering distance will be able to endure this
deiication. 1t is a very dangerous thing
to be raised to this height. Let Mr. Kip
ling beware that ne does not assume the
god, affect to nod, and seem to shake the
spheres" The temptation to do so is
almost irresistible.
Two elements have combined to place
the youthful author of "A Fleet in Being
in the extremely exalted position which
he holds. One Of these, of course. is his
own genius-the -pungency of his style.
the closeness and abundance of his obser-
vation, his rich and multiform imagination.
All praise which these qualities secure for
him is safe and wholesome; on this side
he need not suspect a straining OF the note.
But these alone would not account for 4
quarter of his popularity, and the prepon-
dering element in this is the encourage
ment his writings have given to a certain
national state of mind. AL that is utili-
tartan and materialistic. all that is mimi
cal to thought and favorable to action, all
the external rowdiness and latent puritan
ism with which this century is closing SO
surprisingly in England, find their exact
echo and confirmation in Mr.. Kipling's
books. We observe that the admirers now
claim for their hero that he set all this

THE sHAMRocK's ITINERARY.
She VIII Soon Fit Out for Her Trans
Atlantic Cruise.

London, July 15.-The Field" says that

Atlantic.
Southampton, July 15.-The shipbuilding
firm of j. G. Fay e. Co., Southampton. is
constructing for the Shamrock still larger
boom than the one with which she is fitted
at present, as it is thought that in the
lighter atmosphere OF America she will be
able to carry more canvas. When the
Shamrock was in dry dock here the police
refused to allow Sir Thomas Upton ad-
mission to the dock until his identity was
proved Sir Thomas afterward rewarded
the policemen for their faithfulness.
