A BISHOPS STORIES.


LIGHTER MOMENTS From the Notebook of
Bishop Walsham How. Edited by Frederick
& GO.
The English ecclesiastic whose store of good
stories was drawn upon for this little book was
one Of the most lovable of men. He was as sin
cere in his piety he sunny in nature, and
with his love Of humor went the truest and deep
est human sympathy. He never could help see
ing the funny side of things and he delighted in
sharing the fun with others. He wished that
after his death some Of the stories he had col
lected should be published and his son has full
filed with discretion this kindly wish. Some Of
the anecdotes here presented have the gloss Of
the overripe chestnut; others have before found
their way into print at second or third hand
from the Bishop; some. however, are fresh, and
most Of them are neat in their way.
Nearly all are Of an ecclesiastical flavor and
range from the quaint tales of a rural parish to
the witticisms Of bishops. OF the latter was the
remark made to a friend of How by the Bishop
Of Peterborough, who had been pressed to offer
a certain man living: IF it rained livings 1
would offer Mr.. -' Cafter pause) IAN UNI

was taken to hear certain preacher by lady
who greatly admired that gentleman's eloquence.

what he thought Of the sermon. Yes" said the
lady but there was a saint in the pulpit" And
a martyr in the pew" rejoined the Bishop. OF
the famous Wilberforce. How records bit of
shrewdness which has its own tinge Of humor:
He telling a story OF an Italian Marchesa
in which she made clever repartee in French
The Bishop was known not 10 be very perfect in
French. and my informant said he awaited his
enunciatien Of the French remark with some
anxiety But he need not have been anxious
for the Bishop discounted any shortcomings by
saying, Then the Marchesa said-Cyou know her
French not very perfecD'-and so made the
quotation" OF another Bishop CBedford) How
remembers another sort Of story. He was once
visiting pickpocket who had been very i'll and
on whom he thought he had made some impress

getting better and said he hoped he would soon
be able 10 get TO work "oh. yes sir" said the
man, its good time Of year coming on just

science is an extremely luminous and valuable
presentation of the different views and methods

less weighty, but ingenious in his treatment OF
questions of technique and structure in the art
of fiction, calculating questions that do not al

Of publishers said: There is a chance for fine
success for book published under such circum-

The Publishers Association, recently formed
to correct certain evils in the publishing busi-
ness has as yet taken decided action. A
committee appointed to consider the trouble has
made a tentative report but nothing definite
has been accomplished The evil desired to be
remedied is stated by a interested as the
lack of a genuine price" books. The publish
ing business, he said, the only one that
lacked such a price it's product. The pub
Usher is the only manufacturer who publishes a
definite price for his product, and then sees it
as publicly cut under The department stores
must convince the public that everything they
sell is cheaper than it can be bought anywhere
else and the publishers advertised retail prices
for books make books their most valuable means
for doing They are perfectly right in this -
said one of the NewYork publishers, discussing
the subject, but the result is unfortunate. for
it has been to drive out of the business the old
fashioned retail booksellers into whose shops one
could go and browse among the books" The
same gentleman thinks that a little vigorous and
united action by the leading publishing houses
would quickly end the trouble, but Is constrained
to say that vigorous and united action seems to
be impossible in the publishing trade, alone of
all the great industries Of the country. There is
always some petty jealousy fear Of rivalry
that makes it impossible. The only steps so far
proposed have been a slight reduction in the
publishers discounts for purchases in quantity
permitting the retailer to charge less and still
make profit which would be accompanied by
slight reduction in the net results to the
author.

are the subject of a study by Mr. Meredith
Nicholson, The Hoosier Writer'S" soon TO
be published by the Macmillan Company Mr.
Nicholson is a Hoosier writer himself (though
now resident in Denver) He describes the
Hoosier type and dalect,the early centres of agi-
tation and enlightenment, such as New-Har-
mony, and gives attention to the work Of Edward
Eggleston, James Whitcomb Riley General Lew
Wallace, Maurice Thompson and a few younger
writers. 1t is one of the first studies of Western
literary conditions drawn from original sources
Light is thrown on this matter of the ''FIoosier
dialect" in a manner that can hardly fail TO
amuse people living further to the East in an
article in THE School Review" for September
by Charles F. Remey. It is called Where the
Best English Is Spoken" After discussing the
various dialects in England and the United
States the author states his belief that the
early settlers of the Middle West pronounced
English much as their descendants there do at
present and that the characteristic New-Eng-
land pronunciation OF to-day, even that Of the
cultivated. is a corruption OF this speech The
Westerners referred everything to Webster's
Dictionary. and the schools developed the
pronunciation grew closer and closer TO the
standard. until to-day, as compared with the
standards the best English is spoken by the
educated people OF the Middle West perhaps IN
indiana" After this the reader will not be sur
trised. on looking down to the foot Of the ar
tice. TO discover that the propounder of this
novel theory dates IT from Indianapolisl
