Gilbert Parker's Study.

at is on the fourth floor of his beauti-
full house that l find Mr.. Parker in his
study. 1t seems to be the remotest apart
ment, but the first room on the ground
level is fitted up as library, and is a
chamber of rare delight, SO that the
social life of No. 20 is sandwiched be-
tween books. How does this reposeful
study compare, l wonder, with the room
of the associate editor of The Sydney
Morning Herald?' Was it shirt sleeves
and a plain deal desk in those far-off
days? That is the memory of most hard
working editors 1 have known; but can
not conceive of Mr.. Parker in such con-
dition. He carries an air of dainty note
paper and silver cased blotting pads about
him. / cannot imagine him scribbling on
ordinary printers copy paper with a blunt
pencil, and an inky imp waiting for the
sheets. Yet his talk of old days is richly
reminiscent of traditional journalism, and
l suppose these strange things must have
happened.
II should think the word 'sumptuous'
is the proper word to apply to the fur
nishing OF this sanctum. 1t is a word for
which Mr.. Parker has a peculiar fond
ness; he has written even of 'sumptu-
Gus star All the appointments are the
most choice of their kind; the handsome
book shelves, the generous writing table,
with its massive inkstand artistic paper
weights. quaint paper knife, and that sill
yer cased blotter. The walls contain
many beautiful and interesting pictures.
and over a corner cabinet a bust Of
Napoleon looks down with lowering brow,
a reminder that the man at the desk has
been one of the most sympathetic stu
dents of the Little Corporal The room
is well lighted and as quiet as any IN
Pontiac, for there is but little traffic in
the terrace below, as it ends in a cul
de sac, and the great mansions of Mr..
w W. Astor and the Duke of Grafton
opposite only wake up to life at oc-
casional intervals through the year while
beyond these stretches st. James Park.
Yet not many hundred yards to the north
is Piccadilly Circus and its perpetual tur-
moil.
"A word as to the man himself Mr..
Gilbert Parker is a very attractive type
of man. OF average height, and we'll
built, he does not seem to belong particu-
Iarly to any profession. Literary men are
seldom so well groomed, lawyers have an
affection for the shaven face, whereas Mr..
Parker wears a short, neatly trimmed
beard, black, like the hair of his head,
and so imparting a swarthy look to his
face. which otherwise would strike one
as the healthy complexion of man who
had spent much of his life in the open.
In conversation he has a charming man
ner, and when speaking in public l have
remarked the same easy, confident flow of
language which characteriZes his table
talk. He ought to become one of the most
acceptable speakers in the House of Com
mons.'

A French Comedy.

"a Long Duel" by Mrs. w. X. Clifford,
is comedy of French life, the char
acters being a pretty girl. daughter of a
French father and an English mother, a
celebrated French painter, high born
English woman, Latin Quarter STU
dent. who is suitor to the girl and sew
eral minor characters. The play, which
is in four acts, is adapted from story
written by the author several years ago,
and would be well adapted to parlor per-
formances by amateurs. 1t is daintily
written, and the denouement is pleas
ing while the characters are well de-
fined and well drawn, and there is con-
siderable psychological and romantic in
terest in the rather slight plot. tNew

A Real Unknown.

Here appears to be genuine case Of
the unknown author who is so fash
ionable with publishers these days. The
C. NJ. Clark company will soon bring out
a novel called Miss Petticoats." 1t will
bear the name of Dwight Tilton,' which
was invented by the publishers, who state
that they have no clue whatever to the
author The manuscript bore the Boston
postmark and was mailed last summer.
The publishers sincerely hope that the

A New Religions Novel.

1.-The Carpenter Prophet" which win be
issued by Messrs. Herbert S. Stone & Co.,
promises to be widely read, as it is writ
ten by Charles William Pearson, whose
heterodox doctrines recently caused his
resignation from the Northwestern Uni
versity. He has embodied his opinions
in this book, which is a life OF Jesus
Christ, and is said to be written in all
reverence. Although he denies the divin-
ity of Christ and the authenticity of the
miracles, he expresses the most profound
admiration for the man himself and the
beauty of his teachings.

When the Century Came In.

"Allin Winfield, by George Ethelbert
Walsh, is a story of Boston in the early
years of the nineteenth century, when the
troubles which led to the war of ISL were
gathering. The hero is young New En-
glander who starts to seek his fortune in
the Massachusetts capital, and meets with
many adventures, in which some of the
lea ling men of the day are concerned.
aaron Burr figures prominently in the
romance. and so do some of the pirates
who infested the sea at the time. The
heroine is n charming. willful, and way
ward maiden. and the hero displays all
the bravery and resourcefulness neces-
sary for the hero of romantic novel.

us. The progress of man henceforth
must be with some knowledge at least
of the laws of progress, and it is
these which the author has done his
best to elucidate.
The important point in the last
chapter is that the subordination of
the present to the future involved
the utmost faithfulness to the ideal.
1t Is this which differentiates the
book from some other treatises
along the same line, and Will stimu-
late thought in healthful way. Ten
tatively, the idea that the interests

dinate to the future has frequently
been presented, but it has too often
been advanced in support of some
| theory involving the destruction or
| opposition of the weak. The honest
student of social ethics must not
| overlook the fact that the man who
oppresses another, whether for pri
| vate gain or in pursuance of mis-
| taken idea of duty to the race, is
| injuring himself and thereby injur
| ing his descendants and successors.

race strong, it is even more important
that this strength shall be moral and
