Literary Notes.

Prince Kropotkn in the July Atlantic
describes with touching and impressive
vividness the crucial period of his career,
his arrest and imprisonment. He details
his terrible experiences in the hideous
Fortress of st. Peter and st. Paul, where
he was confined; the circumstances
which led up to his escape after long
period Of imprisonment, and the thrill
ing and romantic combinations by which
he finally achieved his freedom.
The July Century is story-teller's
number, and is novel in its makeup, not
only because it has a large amount of
original fiction by ten living story-writ-
ers, but because it contains articles on
seven of the worlds most famous makers
of fiction, two only of whom are living.
In only one or two cases do these articles
consist of criticism. In most cases they
are new material concerning the writer's
mentioned. Among them are "Steven-
son In Samoa, "rhe Making of Robin
son Crusoe," Alexander in Anger and
in Love- "Frankin's Relation with the
Fair Sex" and Rudyard kipling and
Racial Instinct"
In the American Monthly Review of
Reviews for July the editor reviews the
work of our delegation at The Hague up
to date, presenting the latest phases of
the arbitration question, with some con-
sideration of its bearings on the present
international situation. Among other
topics discussed in "rhe Progress OF the
world" this month are "tariff trusts as
a political issue, the Dreyfus ylndicatien,
the war In the Philippines, the recent
change in the civil-service rules, and the
newly elected college presidents.
Ella w. Peattie has contributed to the
current issue of Harper's Bazaar short
story that in point of interest and origin
atty has been excelled by few recent
periodical stories. 1t is the story of a
British officer who had the remnants of
modest patrimony, his officers half
pay, "A horrible liver, and his daughter
Maud. He came to Western America to
find profitable investment for his patri-
mony, to cure the liver and to provide a
husband for his daughter. His daugh-
ter, however. instead of falling in love
with the rich ranchman selected for her,
gave her heart to young missionary
who, while not everything we would ex-
pect missionary to be. is in every re-
spect very much of q man.

Saving silver nj the Mint.

Perhaps the most interesting scheme
for the recovery of waste silver mt the
local mint liz that applied to the uten-
sils of the melting gang. The big iron
stirring rods. the dippcrs, the strainers
and the ladies that come in contact
with the molten metal are laid aside at
intervals and sent down stairs. They
are covered with what looks like brown
rust, but is really Oxidixed silver.
Suppose, TO dgress IA moment, one
desired to get coat of paint off the
outside of house. In such event the
plan of scraping away the house and
leaving the shell of paint standing

A man by the name of Ezra Stevens,
of Bryant's Pond, Me-, died suddenly
Thursday night and his death was fol-
lowed Friday morning by that of Mr..
Bisbee of Waterford, who was at that
place buying stock. The circumstances
show that both had been drinking more
or less freely since the Fourth, and it is
supposed that they must have drunk
wood alcohol. A third man, named
Andy Moore, drank liquor prepared for
him by Stevens, who is represented as
having been peculiar character.
Moore soon became very i'll and is now

exception being three or four years

Fire and explosion in the residence of
Capt. Dickins of the United States navy,
at 10 45, Friday morning, resulted in
the shocking death of Mrs Dickins, who
was fearfully burned, and died before
medical assistance could reach her.
Other persons about the house were
severely but not dangerously wounded.
The cause of the explosion was gasolene
which was sprinkled on the floor for
cleaning purposes, coming in contact
with fire pot used by plumbers in re-
pairing. Capt. Dickins is assistant to
Admiral Crowninsfeld of the navigation
bureau and it fell to his lot to receive
the first dispatch from Capt. Sigsbee,
giving information of the blowing up of
the Maine. Mrs. Dickins was an au-
thoress of some note, one of her best
known books being "ArOund the World
