The first number Of a new magazine.
to be called the Smart Set, a magazine
of cleverness, will be published March
10. The Smart Set is to be conducted
on new and original lines. Its chief
feature will be a complete novel of con-
siderable length in each number, and
there will also be several short stories
and poems.
The aim of the Smart Set will be to
entertain It's contents will be clever
and interesting. Its object will be not
to publish the work of well known writ
ers, but to publish work that will make
the writer's well known.
The cover design, by Mr. Ernest Has
kell, of which we have seen an advance
proof, Is striking, handsome and signifi-
cant.
In the first number we are promised a
satire in fiction on modern smart So
ciety, while an early number will contain
a similar effort in verse. We See from

The heart of the American people has

we must remember that with the art
ist the soul-form Is first in time and the
body-form after; while for the interpret
er. the body-form comes first the symbol
Of the soulform. To get into the soul
through the body requires thoroughly
sympathetic study. There must be a
nesting into the brain and heart of the
poet, and particularly so in the case of q
poet SO subjective as Poe"
This paragraph is a key to the method
Of the critic and the object of his search.
The body-form-that is the method of
literary expression In rhyme, rhythm, and
the like-are made the object of inquiry
to investigate the subtle message which
the poet was appointed to convey to the
World-the ''soul-form" of literature, as
our author would have us know.
In following the aim laid down the au-
thor has divided his book In two parts,
the first treating of the mind of Poe's
poetry and the second of his art. 1t
seems a pity that the whole range Of
Edgar Allen Poe's genius had not been
explored, instead Of his poetic power and
message simply AS a writer of powerful
tales of the imagination, he outranked
all who had gone before him, while 1t is
not unlikely that the future will recOg-
nize him as the most analytic and self
conscious of all men in the dissection Of
his own processes, and at the same time
the most remorseless critic of his con-
temporaries For instance, Longfellow
never received a severer castigation from
any other hand, though all that is an
cient history now.

concealment has given the story Of his
relations with public Hfe and public men

has had a larger personal acquaintance

English speaking world than any other

observation of childish habits of thought
and action, a keen sense of humor, and
warm and generous impulses. They treat
no less convincingly of country than Of
city life. They are widely varied as to
motive and incident. and show that Clara

Bishop Whipple Is not only one of the
widest known, he is also one Of the best
beloved men in the state, and he counts
legions of friends outside of the COM

will be glad Of this legacy Of memory,
given to the world while the distinguished
author Is still in the ripeness Of his pow

of the Northwest shall finally be written
the name of Henry Benjamin Whipple
