 does not find in Mr. Wells work the
 burlesque scenes and farcial characters
 of Jules Verne's work. The great diff
 ference between Jules Verne and MT.
 Wells is that the latter was trained in scientlnc mernous of thought while the
 former was not. Before Jules Verne
 took to romances he wrote operatic li-
 bretti; before MT. Wells took to TO-
 mances he was a pupil of Huxley in
 the Royal College of Science. The Cos
 mopolitan for August presents an ar
 ticle on MT. Wells and his work which
 will prove interesting, not only to those who have read this authors books, but
 also for those for whom this pleasure is in store.
 The President as a Traveller, by Wal

 preparations necessitated by a journey of the chief executive, and the precau-
 tions taken to guard him while en route, is timely and interesting fea-

 one of the attractions of the number Col. Halstead's experience in the court life of foreign countries. coupled with his shrewd, witty power of observa- tion and expression, make this article most interesting.

THE MAGAZINES


 The August Atlantic is largely and seasonable a fiction number. Besides containing the continuation of the Boroness von Hutton's de- lightful story, Our Lady of the Beeches, it opens with a powerful fisher story by Norman Duncan, In the Fear of the Lord, and includes attractive and en- tertaining stories and sketches by Alice Colton, Jack London, Alice Brown. and Annie H. Donnell. Samuel P. Werner describes that extraordinary and al- most apocryphal race, The African Pygmies, and Leonidas Hubbard re- lates an adventurous visit to The Moon sinners at Home in Their Tennesseean Haunts. Entertaining literary con tributions are also a noteworthy fea- ture of this number. Edmund Gosse contributes a timely paper on The Re- vival of Poetic Drama; Martha Baker Dunn, a characteristically amusing study of The Browning Tonic; and Elz- abeth R. Pennell unveils more secrets of her Cookery Book, with especial reference to the historic Mrs. Glasse, well known to fame Out falsely, as Mrs. Pennell claims) the author of the immortal words-"F'irst Catch Your Hare" There are also valua ble literary essays on Bret Harte and Edward Row land Sill and an editorial disquisition on The Short Story; what it is, what it means, and how to make it. The outdoor paper for the month is a pro- foundly imaginative essay on The Des- ert, by Werner z. Reed, to be follc ved in September by a paper on Going into the Woods, by Eben Greenough Scott.

WHY HE DIDN'T WHISTLE.

A small town in Posen, near the Si- other centuries, the night watchman who calls the hours. One night-The London Telegraph tells this remarka- ble story-one of these watchmen, an old worthy long in service, failed to blow his whistle when the clock struck the hCuf.
 The burgomaster summoned the de- linquent to account for his negligence. After some hesitation he declared that his last tooth had dropped out. and that he could not hold in his mouth the official fiat tin whistle.
 4 council was called, and the sub ject was gravely discussed. Finally one of the members said that he har heard of a dentist at Breslau who sup piled artificial teeth. After a long de- bate the council appropriated money to send the aged watchman to Bresfsu U and get a set of new teeth.
 In due time the watchman reported that his teeth had arrived. That night the burgomaster sat up to hear the re- suit. To his astonishment, there was no whistle at 10, at Il or at midnight. The next morning he summoned the watchman.
 You have got your teeth" he said indignantly, "why do you not whistle as befcre?"
 "Yes, I've got a new set of teeth ,'' replied the old man, but the doctor told me to put them in water at night"

NEW SUPREME JUSTICE.

Justice Horace Gray's retirement from the United States supreme court, in which he has sat for more than twenty years, is not unexpected yet the public regrets that age and physi- cal infirmties have made his with drawal advisable. Excepting Justice Harlan. who in physical vitality and mental power seems still to be among the younger members of the court, Jus tice Gray has served longer than any other justice. But for his recent stroke of paralysis. there is nothing to indi- cate that although "A pears of age, he might have continued indefinitely t0 serve his country with ability and dis tinction.
 The wise provision which gives a life tenure to members of the supreme court and so insures their absolute free dom of judgment has the one disad- vantage that it may result in retain ing in active service men who have passed the full prime of their intellect ual vigor. The present court cannot by any stretch of fancy be called a youthful body. The majority of it's members are nONeTllS dDOul llt tu- year mark, and some of them have passed it. The youngest man on the bench, Justice White, was born in 1S45.

Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, who is still in the early sixties, promises to bring not only an infusion of new blood, but high ability and profound legal learning, to the bench.

SMOOTH ITALIAN sw1NDLER.
lie Works the Bank by Which He was
 Employed for $2lH,000.

The Municipal Savings Bank of Asti, young but very flourishing institu- tion, has been the victim of a swindle to the extent of f40,0O0, the work Of d communal assessor, Signor Foa, who has been for the last ten years em- ployed by the bank.
 The frauds, which were discovered during a governmental examination of the banks books, were of the simplest kind. For several years the swindler has made out passbooks representing large sums in the names of non-eXist- ent persons, on which accounts it was then simply necessary to draw checks payable to bearer. It is said that some of the cashiers were fully aware of what was going on, and were concerned in the frauds, but of this there is yet no satisfactory proof. Fortunately the bank possesses a reserve O f120.000 in cash, so that the loss caused no public panic.
 The arrest of Signor FOa has caused general consternation, he having all ways been held in the highest respect at Asti; and numbers of persons refuse to believe in his guit.-Rome Letter to London Leader.

 Nearly twenty years have elapsed since Queen Christina of Spain last visited the land of her birth, and there were such painful circumstances con nected with that visit that I dOuht whether she cares to recall it, for it followed a dispute with her husband, resulting from one of those fragrant ir- discretions of his which were to her 9 source of so much sorrow throughout her married life. On that occasion she had left Spain vowing never to return, and it required all the entreaties and congratulations of her kinsman, Em- peror Francis Joseph. in order to in duce her to relent.. to return to her err ing husband, and thus avoid sensa- tional and public scandal.
 She is now once more in Austria with having left Spain for the first time since her husbands death nearly seventeen years ago, and though she returns to her native land as a widow, yet it is under far happier circumstances than Oll lnC ICf1ner OCCdSlOIs TOT Sne ildS brought to a successful termination 9 task which at it's outset nearly every one regarded as impossible. namely, the preservation of the Spanish throne through the minority of hCr son. who was unborn at the moment Of his fathers death During these sixteen years of her boys minority Spain has been subjected to a disastrous war which had the effect of robbing her of all her colonial possessions in Asia and in the West Indies-the throne that has been threatened by Carlist insurrection and by republican revolution. Yet throughout all these perils Christina has managed to steer the royal barque with so much common sense and sa- gacity that she leaves today the kinS, her son, more firmly established on his throne than any of his predecessors.
 The very fact that she should be able to quit the kingdom without fear for her son speaks volumes, for although a most precOcious youth, he is but six teen years of age, d time of life when parental guidance. not to say authority, is still not merely judicious, but even indispensable.

COLLEGE SLANG.

President Thwing of the Western Re serve University presents an interest ing array of college slang in an article in the Christian Endeavor World.

"gring," " "crib" and many others indeed. But there are other words that are used only at few colleges. A stu dent, for instance, may bat" (make a perfect recitati0n) and may sit in a "bear-box" Cthe faculty pew in chapel) On going from church he may become a "belt-chaser."

Poor Mrs. StuyVesant Fish is eXperl- encing no end of difficulty and disap- pointment in connection with her col onial ball at Newport next week First it was the men who protested so much against her edict that they should shave off their moustacnes and boards that she was obliged to withdraw it. although hirsute adornments of this kind will appear ridiculously incongru- ous with costumes of the times or the colonial epoch.

 Her husband, the Prince of Asturias, who bears that title by courtesy and who would become not king regnant, but king cOnsort, in the event of his wifes accession to the throne, is just the kind of man to act as mentor and to win the regard and the admira- ton of a boy such as King Alfonso.
