95 degrees were attained in other
parts of the state. Threatening

LITERARY NOTE.

The event of the literary year will be,
undoubtedly, the great novel upon
which Count Tolstoy has been laborine
in order that he may devote the pro-
ceeds to the transportation to Canada
OF three thousand Russian Quakers.
1t is generally believed by his friends
that this work will probably mark the
conclusion of Count Tolstoy's literary
career. Not merely on this account.
but because of the subject treated, it
will attract the widest attention the
world over. 1t is a profound study of
the life of man and woman, and treats
of the three phases of love-that of the
youth, that of the young man, and that
of the man in mature age. The Cos
mopoltdn magazine announces that it
has secured the sole right of publication.

sThe Cioister and the Hearth"


The pains Charles Reade took with
this book, called first "a Good Fight
and afterward 1.-THE Cloister and the
Hearth, were almost superhuman. His
letters at this time are full of it. 81 IN
under weigh again." he writes, "but
rather slowly. I think this story will
almost wear my mind out" Again, 81
can't tell whether it will succeed or not
as a whole, but there shall be great and
tremendous and tender things in it,"
1t is interesting to trace through these
letters the gradual evolution Of charac-
tiers and that have charmed mil
lions of people since. In one of them he
says: Gerard is just now getting to
France after many adventures in Ger
many. The new character I have added
-Denys, a Burgundian soldier, a cross
bowman-will, I hope and trust, please
you."
Never was hope better founded. Since
those words were written many and
many a reader has lived over again the
sayings and doings Of this adventurer,
with his everlasting Courage, lie diable
est mort" Denys' "foible," as we are
told, was woman. "When he met a
peasant girl ON the road, he took off his
cap to her as if she was a queen, the in
variable effect of which was hat she
suddenly drew herself up quite stiff like
a soldier on parade and wore a forbid
