The statement by an English paper
that the late George Smith, the pub
Usher. had paid George Eliot $1,000 for
"Romola" had lost $4,000 on 1t called
forth an expression of incredulity from
n New York publisher the other day.
The demand for George Eliot's works
is still very large, he said; the sale OF
complete sets of her works would rank.
he thought. third among standard
English writer's. the order being Scott
Thackeray and Eliot. with Dickens
fourth. Counting all the editions OF
her works, authorized and unauthor-
ICED. in sets and and in cheap separate
reprints. their sale has been and still is
enormous. Yet it is not easy to say,
continued this publisher. Just what
the real demand for such an authors
work is from the sale of sets of his
works; it is impossible to distinguish
the real demand for the ones that are
read from the perfunctory demand for
the supplying of libraries. Every Ii
trary. public or private that pretends
to any completeness, must have a set
of George Elots works. as we'll as of
the other standard authors, whether
opinion is that her earlier works,
Adam Bede' and The Mill on the
Floss for instance. are much more
read than the later ones. like Daniel
Deronda'. but nevertheless we have Il
very steady demand for whole sets of
George Eliot"

Mention was made recently of the ac-
cident that befell a portion of the
manuscript of a new novel on which
Miss Ellen Glasgow is engaged, and
Eow comes a story from England of a
like misadventure which exacted an
amount of labor and patience on the
part OF the sufferer far beyond that de-
handed of Miss Glasgow. Justin Nc
Carthy tells the story. 1t is touching a
new novel. The Lost Lands by Julia
NJ. Crottie, Il well-knoWn English
author. This novel; says Mr.. Nc
Carthy. has a curious history of its
own. When written it was shown to a
lady friend of Miss Crottie. who took it
away with her to read. and without
consent of the authoress sent it for in
spection to a London publisher The
publisher lost the manuscript. and no
trace of it could be discovered. SO Miss
CrOttic went to work again and reWrote
The whole book. The new manuscript
was then sent to the editor of a London
magazine. and the second manuscript
was also lost. and has never been re-
covered. Miss Crottie must or the sec
ond failure have felt for time some
thing very like despair. She bore up.

Hunters in the Maine woods will
hereafter be sure they're right before
pulling the trigger. At the recent
session of the Legislature an act was
passed containing this important
section:
"Whoever while on a hunting
trip, or in the pursuit of wild game
or game birds, negligcntly or care
lessly shoots and wounds, or kills
any human being, shall be punished
by Imprisonment not exceeding ten
wears, or by fine not exceeding one
thousand dollars"
The law also provides that any
officer failing to do his duty under.
this act shall be liable to pay il fine
of not more than $1,000 and be re-
moved from office. Here is good
suggestion for the Vermont legisla-
turc. No serious shooting accidents
have been reported here, and some
thing in the nature of deterrent
should be applied before the casual
ty list goes kting.
