Best short-Story Writers.

In Harper's for July, Mr.. Alden. in dis
GUESSING the evolution of the short story,
maintains that in this field of literature
American writer's are supreme:
Until recently the shortest stories by
English writer's were of considerable
length" says Mr.. Alden, showing how
firmly established among them was the
habit proper to the novel. The best eX-
amples of the really brief short story have
been French and American. The French
writer takes naturally to the vivid and pl-
quaint sketch, and the American readily
adopts the characteristic national habit OF
telling little stories-a habit firmly estab-
lished in our speech before it appeared in
our literature. The simple conditions of
early American life gave the racy anecdote
and the narrative of adventure their prlml-
tive eminence. Our pioneer life not only
cherished the storytelling trait, but fur
nished material for the stories, often SOM
bre, if not tragic, but more frequently hu-
morous. 1t is easy TO see from what matrlX
sprang the tales of the elder DANA, of Haw-
thorne, and of William Gilmore Sims-also
the productions of our long line of humor-
lists, down to Mark Twain, Stockton and
Bret Harte. Poe and Irving stand in a
class not so sharply severed from European
traditions; and we can readily understand
why Dickens and other English writer's to
such a degree admiringly fellowshiped the
latter, and why in France the former re-
ceived singular appreciation, being there
the only American writer Familiarity known.
THE art of short-StOry writing as repre-
scented by such authors as Maupassant and
Gautier and Merimee reached a higher
point of excellence than that attained IN
the work of their American contemporaries,
and there nave been very few of our writ
ers who in this field have approached Tur-
genieff and SienkiewicZ. But for English
speaking readers the field has been most
satisfactorily occupied and almost monop-
olized by Americans. In boldness of con-
ception Though avoiding moral risk, In
sincerity of feeling, and in humor they have
surpassed all others

Literary Notes

Blackmore's Lorna Doone" has passed
through forty-eight editions. and his Lon
don publishers nave the %forty-ninth in
hand.
Mrs. Howard Kingscote. the English nov
elist, says that the essential difference be-
tween the Americans and the English is
that the former are anxious to hear facts.
while the latter desire TO be amused.
Mr.. Madison Cawein's Kentucky Poems
Will soon be published in London with an
introduction by Edmund Gosse. Mr.. Gosse
voluntarily edited these poems, and has
written a most 1attering introduction TO
them.
To the rash man or woman who would
write a novel Mr.. Clement Shorter makes
these suggestions: For the historical nov
elist my recipe would probably be: Take
two Of Sir Walter Scott's novels, two vol
umes OF French memoirs. sprinkle with
'Zoundst' Albeit and BY the masst' to
taste, and you have the average historical
novel OF the day-English and American.
AS TO the humorous novel the recipe is.
of course: One volume OF Fielding, one
of SmoIlett and all Of Dickens, brought
up TO date by modren Cockneyisms. The
third and even more popular form OF fiction
is that which introduces a great deal OF
preaching OF the obvious: the writer who
best reflects the muddled thoughts OF a GER
tain type OF mind will assuredly secure the
largest circulation. This implies the least
art and the greatest number OF readers"

100000 taels. exceeding by 10000 taels the
best Chinese collections. in times of normal
business. from port and city charges. There
was no salt income last year and there can
be none for two or three years. whether
Chinese or foreigners may be in control, for
the reason thai the allies conhscated the
salt two years ago. and under the Chinese
method of gathering salt by evaporation
from the sea the stacks Of salt that yield
revenue must stand two or three years in
order that the bitter taste from the sea
may become seasoned out OF them. There
has been official computation on what the
salt tax should nave yielded, had it been
honestly handled by which it appears that.
instead Of 100000 taeIs. II should have pro-
duced 2,5O0,0Oo taels. II the salt tax were
in operation under the provisional govern
ment the revenue TO Picking in the present
year would thus approximate 100000 taels.
or &S50,GD0 more than the Chinese here
passed over in the best year that the port
ever had. The juiciness of official plums
has long been notorious, but the present
conditions OF government here make this
the first instance of authoritative compu-
tation on the subject. With places as rich
in pickings as this scattered over the en-
pire, the tenacity with which the official
class clings to its traditions, and wishes,
above all things, to be let alone, may be ap-
preciated. Considerations such as these do
not argue here against the proposition that
the Chinese are entitled to rule their own
districts, regardless of the lessons now con-
veyed as to the need - official reform.
There may be officials in the provisional
government 10 whom $1,000 Mexican per
month, or $500 per year, may not come as
easily again as now, and who wish to hold
on as earnestly as the Chinese wish TO re-
new their old grip. One may hear also
pretty talk OF native resentment that the
walls have been taken down and of inten-
ton to reconstruct them as soon as the for
eigners get out. Nobody has intimated
that the Chinese will be stopped if they
must go on. and unless councils wholly sell
fish prevail there will be enough work Of
undoubted practical value to be done, in
putting and keeping the city in commercial
trim, TO give natives occupation for some
years, without working overtime for the
sake Of sentiment. Military order estab-
lished the administration now in power. 1t
can be dismissed only by similar order,
proceeding now TO the district commanders
from the home governments. Whenever it
may occur, and not until then, viii native
oficialdom be placated, and the progressive
viceroy. Yuan Shi Ki, make this city again
the provincial capital.

NJ. LIE Roux's Claim

w. L. Alden's London Letter.
One of the leading literary weeklies hero
has actually taken NJ. lie RouX seriously
as to his claim that he wrote LA Belle
Nivernaise'' at the request Of Daudet. Why
does not Mr.. lie Roux inform us that he is
the real author of Les Miserables' and of
nine-tenths Of M. Zola's books? To any
man who is familiar with Daudet, Mr.. lie
Roux's claim is simply absurd and un-
worthy of a moments serious refutation. /
fancy that if Mr.. Alfred Austin. for exam
pie, were 10 assert that ne is the author of
I'm Memoriam." and that he wrote It at
the request Of Tennyson. no one would
take the trouble to refute him But such a
claim would not be a particle more absurd
than NJ. lie Roux's claim that he wrote
acteristic books.

Under the history chestnut tree
The novel maker stands.
A superficial brain has he,
But strong and able hands.
He thumps the tree with might and main,
And calculating frown.
And like a shower of hail or rain,
Those chestnuts tumble down.
And then. tho men may weep. Re notes
No human victims cry.
But Grams those chestnuts down tie threats

Length of Novels.

"Bookworn," in Philadelphia Press.
Related to this question is that Of the
length of novels. Opinion is divided as
to the present tendency, but there can be
no doubt that most of the best books in
the past season have been long novels, by
which L mean novels of not less than 1000 700
words and as high as 10000 words. Many
leading writers continue 10 make their
books much shorter than this. 'Bylow
HILL" by George w Cable, contains but
10000 words. and .HohenzoIlern. by Cyrus
Townsend Brady, is hardly longer. Many
of the novels run from $4,000 to 1000 words.
These are not the present leaders. The
Virginian," by Owen Wister. is a 80, 600
word book; L have not The ~Conqueror."
by Gertrude Atherton, at hand, but L be-
lieve 1t is considerably longer than Mr..
Wister's novel. Dorothy Vernon of Had
don Hail." by Charles Major, contains
about 10000 words. THE Valley of Deci-
sion,' by Edith Wharton. is in two volumes.
making, 1 should say, about 10000 words.
The Hound Of the Baskervilles." by Co.
nan Doyle, one of the leaders, contains
only about $4,000 words. Audrey by
Mary Johnston. is longer than either of
her two preceding novels and contains.
II my memory serves Inc right. about 10000
words. Most novels that are having a good
sale but are not TO be numbered among
the leaders will be found TO contain about
100, 600 words each. This, too, is the approx
mate length Of Henry Harland's romance.
THE Lady Paramount" which is a leader.
Such length gives nearly 400 pages, each
containing about 800 words, when allow
ance is made for the beginnings and end
ings of chapters. Curiously enough, that is
about the length of the odyssey" which
has the distinction of being not only a
great epic poem but the most brilliant of all
classic romances. 1t is a little less than the
size of the "Iliad." A gentleman once
made a calculation as to the approx
mate length Of some classical and stand
ard novels and the results are interest
ing. Richardson's "Sir Charles Grandi-
SON. is probably the longest of all ex-
tant novels with 100000 words. Don
QuiXote" and LES Miserables" each
come near to 100000 words. The usual
size of a Dickens novel was $4,000 words.

length. His Vanity Fair" and Dickens's
