It is this l human interest, this worldly-wise atti- 1 tude, we are tempted to say, which makes Professor Beers as readable to 1 the layman as to the professional stu 1 dent, which carries his average read 1 CT" willing follower into the by-paths l of letters, which makes him. almost

 Mary Catherine Crowley, who wrote
 "The Daughter of New France" has
 written new romance which will be
 published shortly by Little, Brown &
 Co.,, of Boston. The title has not yet been announced
 "The Colonials," by Allen French, is
 announced for publication on January
 22, and the publishers, Doubleday, Page
 X Co.,, call it "a good, old-fashioned
 novel," As the title shows it is histori-
 cal, but not of the fighting-loving-
 nance sort. There is certain percent
 age of love, and, indeed some fighting,
 but the novel will be more interesting
 for the characters introduced. General
 Knox, General Putnam, Samuel Ad-
 ans and other prominent men of Rev olutionary days have their place in the story.
 The remarkable sale of the dozen ;r .itf1a MaS terpieces" published by Doubleday, Page & Co.,, has led to the preparation of six additional volumes, which will be ready early in the year. Emerson, Ba- con, Goldsmith, Swift, Johnson and Milton are the men whose writings will be included in the new series. The idea of the editor is to give in the most at tractive form the best work of the au- thors.
 Henry Holt & Co. have just sent their classroom edition of Rostand's "Cyra- no de Bergerac" to press for the fifth time. It is edited by Professor Oscar Kuhns. of Wesleyan college, who is an author as we'll as editor. His German and Swiss Settlements of Pennsylva- nia' has been in great demand, and his interesting monograph "Our Colonial History" has just been printed for & second time.
 Are England, Scotland and Ireland destined, ultimately to become a part of "The United States of America and Great Brtain?' is the startling inquiry which William T. Stead makes in the January Cosmopolitan. He has been studying the new conditions brought about by the industrial combinations and reaches the conclusion that Eng land and the United States are destined to be more closely united and that as soon as the English people wake up to the absurdity and general uselessness, as has been shown in the Boer war, Of a king and arist6cracy, the trend will be immediate in the direction of a un- ion with the people of the United States. However much one may differ from MT. Stead, his speculations will be f -und vastly interesting. He is the first British subject who has had the courage to suggest such an outcome.
 If the old saying, "All the world loves a lover," is true, then the fiction in the Cosmopolitan for January should be popular indeed. All the stories vary in treatment, plot ana actlon, rom frhh- ces Courtenay Baylor's charming story, "Cupid's Practical Joke" to Maarten Martens strong domestic tragedy, | Her Fathers Wife" but all have love | for central theme.
