The publishers cs the United States, according to the Official record of the book trade, during the year 1898 put their imprint upon 48OO volumes. One | of the features of the current issue of Litera ture, published by Harper &
 Brothers, is comprehensive and system atic list of the more important American publications of the past year. This arti- cle and the review of English publfca- tions in the issue of this periodical for January 10 are invaluable for reference, The literature of the year has rot been of distinctly creative kind. In fact, the greater portion of it was called forth by the war, written hurriedly, and is of & decidedly ephemeral character. These war books, however, fully answered the purpose for which they were published, and were eagerly read by the awakened American nation that wished instant and complete information concerning the new lands and strange people brought under the American flag. Among the most important historical works were The Constitutional History of the Amer. ican People, by Francis Newton Thorpe The Awakening Of a Nation, by Charles Fletcher Lummts; and the History of Our Navy, by John R. Spears. Charles A. Dsna's Recollections of the Civil War was also a distinct contribution to American history. The Arctic zone was the scene of the most important works of travel, which were: Lieutenant Peary's work describing his Arctic ex- ploratfons, and Through Asias by Sven Hedin. The quality of the years fiction was of decided merit. The most sue. cessful novels have been W. Dean How ells's The Story of Play; stockton's
 A sociate Hermits Red Rock, by Thom- as Nelson Page; Caleb West, by F. Hop
 kinson Smith and The Adventures of Francois, by s. Weir Mitchell. The year has given us two most notable volumes of short stories. Mrs Margaret Deland
 who made her fame through John Ward, Preacher, has turned her attention to this line of fiction, and has produced volume which for true delicacy of senti- ment and refined humor is almost with. out equal in the annals of American lit- erature. Mss Mary E. Wilkins Is al-

There are two ways of estimating the financial equivalent of a small boy's life
 first by the amount of money his father is worth, and the other by the capacity of the boy to earn money himself. Of the latter class the Springfield Republi- can gives an interesting instance, where an Indiana jury, in assessing damages in a suit brought by the father of boy who had been drowned in 8 sewer, awarded $59995, on the ground that he might have been of that much value to his fath- CT. The jury figured in this way: From to 10 years old the child would be able to make 45 cents week. During that period it would cost 85 cents 8 week to keep it. From 10 to 12 it would make 75 cents week, and it would cost $l 25 to keep 1t. From 12 to IA it could make S4 week, and the living cost would be $2. From 15 to IS 1t could make $5 a week, and the living cost would be $2. .75. From IS to 21 it could make $6 a week, and the living cost would be $4.

Editorial Notes.

For the second time within a few weeks the StandsrJ Association building, from whence issues the Bridgeport Stand. ard, at the corner of Fairfield avenue and Middle street, Bridgeport, has been visit ed by serious fires, causing 8 damage of some thousands of dollars each time. The last fire occurred on Saturday night of last week. Some of the state papers thought the origin of the first fire must have been some of the red hot Fessenden editorials that were being issued at that time. If such was the case, and that event being over, the latter fire must have occurred from spontaneous combustion from some of this same material that was careless'y left over and put In proper receptacles. But serlously, our neigh. Dor has THE BEES sympathy in their fiery trials.
