BOOKS AND AUTHORS.

Admirers of the late William Ham
ilton Gibson and his pen and pencil in-l
terpretations of nature will be glad
to learn that biography of him is to
appear soon.
Austin Dobson, after IS years of
continuous service as principal of the
harbor and fisheries department of
the British board of trade, has retired
from public service to devote himself
wholly to literary pursuits. He has
the regular pension of an employe of
the civil service, and a special pension
secured for him by Mr.. Balfour.
Sir Edwin Arnold, in writing to a
friend in this country of his recent
epic poem, said that, though he was
now quite blind and broken in health,
he did not by any means intend, even
If life was spared, that this work
should be his last. He would, he said,
work on as long as he was able to do
work that satisfied him.
The most remarkable book in the
World, SO far as its appearance is con-
serned, is neither written nor print
ed. 1t is in the Imperial library Of
Paris, and the letters are cut out of
tissue paper with pair of scissors.
A sheet of blue tissue, in which the
letters are cut, is placed between two
pages of white, and so the matter in
read.
John Morley, talking with a friend
about his literary work at Hawarden,
said that his labor had been greatly
iessened by Mr.. Gladstone's personal
habits of order and regularity.
Through the last so years of his career
he not only preserved every important
letter or document that reached him,
but neatly indorsed it with his own
hand and slowed it away in order of
date. Among the papers docketed and
stored at Hawarden in order of date
Mr.. Morley found notes of a speech
delivered by Mr.. Gladstone at the Ok
ford union just 10 years ago.

Munich is proud of it's new Prince
Regent theater, which has been built
for the purpose of giving perform
ances of Wagnerian opera. When
Frau Wagner's contract with the
Hoy theater manager expires full
performances will be given in Munich.
The new theater is largely patron

Princess Adolf of Wrede, whose
marriage is declared valid by the
highest French courts but null and
void by the Bavarian courts, is about
to appear on the stage as singer.
Her name was Ludmilla Muldauer,
and she had been divorced from a
man named Dobrzawski before mar
rying the prince. On the strength OF
the Bavarian judgment the prince has
married again.
There is nothing in this country
which corresponds to the Tivoli in
Copenhagen. A number of small con-
cert halls are dotted about in large
park, the chief concert hall being in
the center. Classical concerts are
given in the "Concertsal" and lighter
entertainments in the other build
ings. The charge for entrance to
the Tivoh il only 80 cents. The king
and queen of Denmark were fre-
quently to be seen at the Tivoli in
former years.

TIPS ON FALL STYLES.

Hopsacking, it is said, in deep cream
or q dark natural fax tint, will be "the
newest thing for fall"
Renaissance will be quite passe as 9
fall trimming lace. Guipure, cluny and
point d'arabe will be much preferred.
Majestic coat. and gowns of the
Louis XIV. era of velvet, trimmed with
Venetian point, will form many elab-
crate autumn toilettes.
For the fall, tailor-made Eton
bbouses and Louis XIV. coats are all
exhibited among the advance models.
Only the season itself will prove the
favorite, but Indications point to the
continuance of the EIon for popular
wear.
A greater tendency to combine cob
ors will be new autumn feature. En-
erald green, in particular, is to have
strong vogue as a contrast trimming.
This new notion, it is predicted, will
be strongly in evidence on both hats
and combinations.
Top coats promise to be long, about
AZ inches, with half-fitted backs, and
with or without yoke. The former
will be smarter, but for women who
have to wear coat several winters
will look more passe when its vogue
IL over.

BRITAIN.

Parliament passed ten acts a month
all through the last century.
Nottingham is nearer the center OF
England than any other large town.
OF 1000 British girls there are 1876
Marys, 1872 Elias, 72 Sarahs and Sc
Annes.
There are $4,000 marriages yearly
in the United Kingdom and $4,000
deaths.
In 1850 the rent of all Scottish land
ed property was E 700. 1t is now
e 10, 100000.
British married people have an av-
erage age of AZ years, and have been
married Is years.
The public houses of London, if
placed side by side, would reach dis
tance of 76 miles.
In 1881 Britain grew 16 bushels of
grain per inhabitant. Last year she
grew seven bushels.
Rutlandshire has only IL marriages
per 1000 people year. This is Eng
lands lowest record.
The ringing of curfew upon the
great bell in the tower of the chapel
of the Guild of the Holy Cross has
been resumed at Stratford-on-Avon.
Between 10000 and $4,000 women
pass annually through the prisons of
England and Wales. Taking the fig
ures for last year, it appears that 72
per cent. had been previously convict
ed, AZ per cent. five times and more,
and Is per cent.-about 1000 women
30 times or more.
The house in Portland place, Lon
don, which Earl Roberts has pur-
chased for his town residence, was
for many years center of society
and fashion. From 1920 to 1860 it was
occupied by the dowager duchess of
Richmond, and was famed for the
brilliancy of it's entertainments dur
ing the London season.

FACTS CONCERNING NORWAY.

Norway takes 6s, ,0O0, 900 cod a year.
Norway is the most thinly settled
of all the European countries.
Three-fourths of the entire area
of Norway is not capable of cultiva-
ton.
The death rate in Norway is 4ess
than that of any country in the
world, with the exception of Sweden.
Norway has a greater excess of
women over men than any other Eu-
ropean country. It amounts to 49,
900 at present.
England's ice import from Norway
fell off last year by 55,si4 tons, the
total being only 44s,s13 tons. More
ice is now made in Britain than ever
before.
The Norwegian fjords never freeze.
They are protected by the monstrous
mountains and the water is tenn
pered by warm currents that flow in.
from the gulf stream.
The logevity of the Norwegians il
said to be greater than that of any
other race in Europe. By the last
census 1900 people out of popula-
tion of 100000 were reported as
over 100 years of age, and 16 had
passed their one hundred and fourth
year.
The greater part of the population
of Norway lives upon the coast and
upon the islands that lie between it
and the North sea. A few of the
islands in the Lofoten group, which
are the scene of the cod fisheries, are
comparatively thickly settled, but
the interior of the country has large
sections without permanent inhab-
itants, and the northern provinces,
above the arctic circle, are occupied
only by nomadic tribes of LaPps.

FRANCE.

France is called upon to face def
icit of 5o,ooo,ooo francs and her ma
tional debt is increasing yearly.
French steamers now make the trip
from Marseilles to Sydney in "a days.
A century ago it took seven months.
In France tuberculosis kills 200, 900
people a year; in other words, city
of the size of Toulouse is yearly
wiped off the face of the country.
The latest craze among the Partisan
ladies is that of foxes, or rather fox
cubs, as household pets. They are so
largely in request that the little
creatures are for sale now in the
streets.
There are 20 tobacco factories in
France-three in Paris and the others
in the large cities. In 1899 they en-
ployed 17,1s4 hands, 1872 of whom
were women and girls. Besides these

INGENIOUS MECHANICAL CoNTRIvANCES

For years and years Americans have been

Even ginger snaps have long been popular
With the introduction of improved machinery

A BOYS MARROW ESCAPE.

Lawrence, the three-year- son of
Mr.. and Mrs. J. l.. Ashby, was knocked
down and run over by heavy dray
team on their way to the depot last
night and narrowly escaped being killed
The lad was playing OH the street in
front of his home, No. 3O1 West Park
avenue, about the time the hacks and
drays rush to the depot to make the
1:4O train. He apparently paid no at
tention to the approaching train, and
was not noticed by the driver until too
late to stop before passing over the lad
When the lad was picked up he was
bleeding from the nose and mouth and
appeared to be severely injured, but
fortunately investigation proved that he
LA donly bitten his tongue in the mixup,
and had received only a few other slight
bl uses.

piece is not only we'll told story, where

is good and pure. so that it leaves last

new and beautiful, and is a picturesque
