the books he reads One should not ask
ones neighbor, do you read? but.
What do you read?" And the answer TO
the latter question will enable us 10 judge
pretty fairly OF his intellectual attain
ments. One who confesses TO reading
nothing but novels Is not at all likely to
be much informed in Roman history or
the theory of evolution. Nor would we
be apt to engage in discussion OF the
plays OF Shakespeare the man whose JOY
is in the joke columns of the newspapers.
But the novel reader and the newspaper
reader are In vast majority. that nav
ing eyes, see not, and, having ears, hear
not the messages which poets and sages
have put In the mute but glorious and
eternal volumes which so often lie neglect
ed on library shelves.
In many instances this low average OF
taste In readers can be attributed TO de-
fective training. In others IL is simply
a natural inability to distinguish between
true beauty and cheap effects. as a street
boy will most probably prefer a vaude-
vile song to the operas OF Verdi. On the
other nand, there are persons who could
learn TO read and appreciate good books.
If properly directed; and on the other
hand, IL must be admitted, are many who
are altogether opposed to walking in the
path of literary righteousness. Sugges-
tions as TO the choice of books will assist
and stiumlate the misguided. but for the
unregenerate there is hope.

Though the publisher has his times and
seasons. the author has not, but must stick
to his desk independently Of spring and
autumn. Mr.. H. G. Wells is now engaged
on two pieces of fiction of very diverse
character. The one is in the line of so
many of his previous works, and deals with
strange, fantastic conception; whereas
the other follows more after the mood of
'The Wheels of Chance or Love and
Mr.. Lewisham." The one is the impossible
rationaliZed as Ii was rationaliZed in The
Invisible Man." and the other relates the
experiences Of poor man who becomes
suddenly rich. Neither book will be ready
for some time.
In addition to these labors, Mr.. Wells is
in the thick of his series of essays for the
''Fortnightly." The second part of Man
Kind In the Making" appears in the current
number of the review, and the treatise-for
it amounts to that-will be complete in
nine numbers. 1t is really a continuation
OF the study already begun by the author
In "AnticipationS," and may be expected in
book form some time in the spring.
Ii is not often that novelist unites with
his talent for story telling or character
drawing bias towards philosophy. Mr.
Wells is one bright example, and "Benja-
min Swift is another case. 1t Is to be
doubted indeed, If the latter is not more
properly philosopher than novelist, al
though his serious contribution to pessim-
ism, published not long since. did not re-
ceive the attention its qualities of style
and thought alike demanded. But pessim-
ism is not in favor. We all optimists
nowadays, and only tolerate gloom in for
eigners.

and they will continue to circulate till
some other striking piece of anonymity in
literature becomes popular" To be sure
this book Is accredited to Mary Adams"
but 1t might as well have been sent out un-
signed, or with anyone of the time-honored
newspaper signatures, as say, "A Wife" or
"A Mother" Everyone knows the name
given is but hiding place for one possibly
we'll known. But If we are to know
who the author really Is the publishers
should not postpone giving the information
to later date than the Christmas book
season, for we do forget so soon in these
days of many books, that we almost have
difficulty in remembering the books them
selves. There, for instance, is Truth
Dexter" Some there are who at the time
the book was at the height of its success
spent considerable ingenuity in guessing"
who wrote it, but who to-day would ask
who or what Truth Dexter" was anyway
If you mentioned the book to them. The

Rejected Manuscripts.
New York Times Literary Review

New York Times Literary Review
Mr.. Henry NJ Alden, in his article In the
Editors Study of Harper's Magazine, from
which We quoted last week. has something
to say in an amiable but convincing way of
the manuscripts daily rejected by the pc
yiodical he so ably edits. Four out of five
of these, he insists, exactly answer Dick
ens's description. in letter to Mrs. Cas-
kell, of the manuscripts rejected by House
hold Words under his edtorship:
They are of that intensely dreary and
commonplace description to which not even
the experience of this place reconciles my
wondering mind. Everybody could write
such things. imagine; but how anybody
can contenedly sit down and do it is in
scrutable. People don't plunge into
churches and play the organ without know
ing the notes or having the ghost of an ear.
Yet fifty people to-day will rush into manu-
script, for these leaves only, who have no
cal art of writing. am at this mo-
ment sitting Cup to the neck) in Quagmire
OF these productions.
Mr.. Alden says the number of manu-
scripts now submitted daily TO HarperS s
Monthly is about the same as that men,
toned by Dickens, who presumably was
in his favorite mood of exaggerstion. For
the number Of aspiring authors who pos
sess no qualification for authorship except
the ability to write dramatically must have
greatly increased with the spread of COM
IOH SCHoOl euuCdllOn DOtn III EnSlduu anu
America. Fifty manuscripts a day, there
fore, is about the number received at Har-
pers. Perhaps once year, maybe not so
often, the first offering of an author is ac-
cepted. 1t is Mr.. Aldens experience that
in nearly every case ''the writer who is to
win in this strenuous competition shows
his her merit in the earliest offerings.
Often, however, the promise In these manu-
scripts is not fulfilled. We may assume
that ten or twelve thousand persons con-
tribute manuscripts to the magazine every
year which are rejected OF these a small
proportion may find a market elsewhere.
Yet the number of aspirants for literary
fame is ever on the increase. The reward
of success is small, the encouragement dis
heartening, but the deluge continues.
We know TO our sorrow that the number
of persons of both sexes who consider
themselves competent to write about litera-
ture is as large as If not larger than the
number who hopelessly assail the magazine
editors. Enough contributions and proffers
of contributions are received weekly TO fill
two or three numbers of the New York
Times Saturday Review, which has little
space to spare for the best of them. The
situation is both painful and puzzling. The
age is full OF alertneSs and practicality,
and there are so many more useful and
profitable things to do than writing manu-
scripts which are read only by the editors
who do not want them.

The question, Does anybody read G.. p.
r. James in these days?" is answered by
the news that his novels are about to be
republished in twenty or more volumes

had continuous sale.
The Baroness Won Hutten, whose story,
"Our Lady of the Beeches." attracted pleas
ant attention as it was running through the
pages Of the Atlantic Monthly, was a Miss

late Thomas A Scott formerly president
of the Pennsylvania Railroad. Since her
marriage to Baron Won Hutton she has lived
abroad-in summer at Schloss Steinbach, in
bavaria, and In winter on the barons eS-

The patronage of foreign literature, says
the London Mail, is perhaps the most no.

decade. No year passes without a new

be Tolstoi, or Nordau, or Sudermann, or
Rostand, or Jokai, or D'Annunzio. AT pres

Francis w. Halsey. in Review of Reviews.
Were We to seek for the causes of this
change in taste among readers we should
find the most potent one to be the strong
tide of population that has turned toward
cities. We have before us a condition that
is little more than a reaction or return
to first love. This reading of nature books
is part Of the consequences of the impulse
which each year drives more and more city
people to spend longer seasons in the coun-
try. With the delights of this migration
from brick walls TO velvet lawns and shaded
woods has come this interest in the flowers
shrubs and trees of the forest; in wild
game that live there; in the fish of streams
and in the birds of the air. We have, there
fore. in literature only part of the conse-
Quence of that potent influence which made
the bicycle so recently popular, and which
now has made myriads of devotees of golf
An interesting outcome of this whole sub
tect has just appeared in England. Nature
study has become in that country a popular
education fad, and the recent Mature
Study Exhibition" held in the Royal Botan-
ical Gardens in London, has awakened so
much interest from its novelty and it's sug-
gestiveness that there are enthusiasts who
predict that ii will lead to an entirely new
educational movement. 1t is even predicted
that text books, as a main means TO an
education, are doomed, the open book of
nature being the volume which in the future
will be most industriously and profitably
thumbed
