LITERARY NEWS AND NOTES.

The Living Age began in it's issue for
November 18th, and will continue for
several successive numbers, a thrilling
account of 'srhe Siege of the Lega-
tions," written by Dr.. Morrison, the
well-known correspondent of The Lon
don Times at Picking. This narrative is
of absorbing interest in its descriptions
OF the daily life of the besleged lega-
TONERS, and it is noteworthy also as
containing some disclosures relating to
the inside history Of what went on at
Picking in those stirring days, which are
altogether new and OF the utmost i'm
portance. The unusual length of DR..
Morrison's narrative has precluded and
probably will preclude any other publ
cation of it on this side OF the Atlantic.
In England it has attracted wide notice.
For variety and interest the Decem-
Der number of The Smart Set ranks all
previous issues of that smart magazine.
The novelette, of the number is 'Her
Guard of Honor" by Miriam Nicholson.
The second story in length is another of
the series of brilliant society tales that
Miss Caroline K. Duer is contributing
to The Smart Set, and is entitled ''An
Unfinished Elopement." Other features
of the number are 1.-The Episode of the
Earl" by Louis Evan Shipman, author
of 6 d. Arcy of the Guards" ''For Love
of Lord Patrick" an intensely interest
ing London story by Mrs. Poultney
Bigelow; Crowned with One Crest
Enthusiastically vigorous story by Ger
trude Atherton; ''Lord and Lady Ladd-
ismeere, by Edgar Fawcett, and many
fascinating stories of far countries by
ellison Willets, Annetta HaIliday-Anto-
ma, Onoto Watanna and others. In this
one number the reader may have a
glimpse of the society of almost all of
the great cities of the world. There are
poems by Bliss Carman, Clinton Scol-
lard, Dora Read Goodale, Henry Tyrrell,
Kate Masterson, Joe Lincoln and Frank
Roe Batchelder.

and sweet as a wind from the West

.'Nigger Baby, Horse with a Great
Soul" is delightfully."- strong, naive
story of the life and varied experiences
OF black race-horse. The other eight
tales describe the adventures of a girl
with wild and domestic animals, whom
she understands and portrays with rare
intelligence. In one Of these stories
thrilling description is given of an In
dian raid, i'll which the lives of the set
tiers were saved by the quick wit and
stubborn devotion of Mexican burro.
Angel is the quaint and humorous
life OF crow, and also the realistic
study of a certain phase of child life
and character. ''Thor" deals with
bear whose brief experience of civil
cation left an impression so deep that
by it he ruled his kind. The illustra-
lions by Gustave Verbeek are in his
most vigorous style. The full page in
which appears great black bear facing

"Ihave suffered with bronchial trou-

This is what Vinol always does.
This is the way vinol accompiishes it's
mission of doing good.
Vinol, as we wish every one to know,
owes it's power Of accomplishing the
cures that it effects to the fact that it
contains the most wonderful medicinal
elements known to science for the cure
of all wasting diseases, as well as be-
ing in itself a marvellous tonic. These
