ed on a mule ass. and often armed" Mr..
Sladen talks of the Sicilian women with their
Madonna faces but he is emphatic the mer-
ciless character of the Sicilian brigand. and in
one Of his anecdotes, discloses that his interest
in the inhabitants is not unmixed with adverse
criticism. Here is the story:
sent a telegram once on Sunday. II
was to Rome The telesraphiSt could not pre-
tend that there was no such place the place
wanted to send it to- But ne had another
chance. / wrote word too many for a franc
telegram. and, as it was not important scratched
II out He began long palaVer in Sician,
and several OF the priests interpreted at the
scratched out word. because. if l did not the
telegraphist would be punished for leaving out
a word and pocketing the proceeds. No man
trusts even himself in Sicily
The impression conveyed here is at variance
with that which have derived from more
writer's than one. who have testified to the gen
tie simplicity frequently encountered in Sicily.
But from Mr. Sladen's Sicans We may turn
10 the background against which they move.
background which the author places before us
sometimes in carefully considered pictures and
sometimes in vignettes which are perhaps, as
welcome; vignettes like this 'Taormlna is
in brief. city Of outside stairs solid fronted
balconies queer little lanes darting up and down
under arches, broad streets of steps such as you
get off the Strada Timeo or in front OF the
CiampoH Palace. battlemented walls a few
inches thick. desperately impoverished churches,
each with some fine architectural detail. and
boys begging around you with their eternal
'patemi un sOldO 'Questi sOno antichita'
The sketch is true not only to Taormina. but to
many another Sicilian town. MIR. Sladen pays
equal attention to the artistic and natural beau
ties in the panorama that has been unfolded
before him. and though ne startles us in some of
his descriptions by some such remark as that
in which he INDUCES apropos of the Cappella
Reale at Palermo-'In mOsaics most people
wear accordion pleated dTesses''-his pages are
not wholly unworthy OF his material Despite
one frivolous lapse OF diction. we are glad to

sisters and cousins OF our English wild howers
and those which are not we mostly found TO b
sisters or cousins Of Alpine flowers" To re-
inforce his descriptions this IS essentially
a descriptive book, with few il any ideas on
Sicily and the SiciIaus which invite discussion
Mr.. Sladen has brought together from many
sources a collection OF illustrations to which We
should. perhaps. have called attention earlier.
In fact. this is picture book if ever there was
one. and beautiful picture book it is. The half
tones are uncommOnly clear, and they embracs
a great diversity OF subjects, reproduced either
in good photographs in excellent paintings By
Miss Margaret Thomas or in interesting Old
prints Whether the text is read or not, this is
a book worth having for the sake OF the de-
Hghtful glimpSes il gives OF S--ilan town and
country. monuments and trees, and picturesque
types II is too bad that having a-cumU!ated
such fine material. and having written narra-
tive which, if not distinguished. has certainly
some serviceable Qualities. Mr. Saie1 should
have given his work IN Incgnvenisut form

the outset to certain friends who shared his
wanderings and he seems to think it amusing
to report the most trivial things that happened

II he had submitted his manuscript to some one
with editorial judgment and a good supply Of

him to Sicily a valuable bump OF practically.

it is wonderful thing to visit Sicily. but be-

OF these volumes is that they give, on the whole
a clear statement Of facts 50 ordered that the
prospective tourist could not but profit by
perusal Of them.
1t is inevitable that should regret the alb

Mr.. GissinE cave us not long since in his chap
ters entitled by the Iouian Sea" But to recall
that book is to remember that a man can only
write with accuracy about a land saturated in
classical lore when he is himself SO saturated
and while Mr.. Sladen is not without some ac-
quaintance with the literature of the past he
seems to have none of that Instructive feeling
for it which would have communicated atmos-
phere to his pages Yet, let us not do him in
justice. That he can convey an interesting i'm

the following passage:
The railway journey from Messina to Taor-
nina is beautiful-nOt so beautiful | think to
the unlnitiated eye many journeys in coun-
tries nearer England But To me there is some
thing magnetic, or perhaps | should say hyp-
motto, in Siciian scenery. 1t is not that you see
much architecture, though most rocks which
were suitable for rObber barons castles were
used. 1t is not that the mountains other than
Etna, are particularly lofty And except in a
few spots, such as the district around Palermo.

Mr. Sladen follows this with some vivid notes
on the Sicilians. He points out that they are
not, like the Neapolitans. constant laughers and
chatterers. but usually of grave demeanor.
He paints the peasants working generally in
heavy silence remarking that only in the great
towns, which are becoming Italianized. is that
silence broken. He has keen eye for the pict-

scrbes as wearing top boots. and at morning

The undying charm of Sicily has attracted
perhaps fewer modern travellers than it might
have been expected to bring to those enchanted
shores. Fortunately. however. the country has
had among its visitors a considerable number of
authors and whenever one of these has been
worth his salt we have received peculiarly in
teresting book from his hands. Sicily provides
indeed. a theme in the treatment of which it
would be difficult to be dull: and though the
thor of the two handsome volumes before us
exhibits some serious defects. it IS to be noted
that he Also is readable. We only regret that

1t is interesting TO observe the unanimity with
which even the most favorable critics of "Thc
House with the Green Shutters" the novel to
which cordial tribute has lately been paid in
these columns deprccate that preoccupatiOn on
the part of the author with the sombre and the
mean which we have noted as weak spot in
m uncommOnly strong literary figure 1t teSti-
teS to the essential Stcadfasness of that spirit
in the human race which will not allow a one
sided view of life to impose itself. no matter
how great may be the gifts of the man who
adopts ii and tries TO gain general acceptance
for it. The House with the Green Shutters
is a remarkable performance, one which gives
the promise OF even greater things; but Mr..
Douglas will sOrely dSappOint his Warmest ad-
mrers if, in his future work, he does not en-
deavOr to paint life in juster perspective For
our own part we have no doubt that we will
be spared this disappointment, for the book is
genuine; if it is Unbalanced it is not because

The revival in England Of the idea that
British Academy" would be a good thing has
speedily provoked a great amount of discus
sion. This time the scheme which has often
been Sketched on paper promises to develop
into an accomplished fact. IT seems likely that
royal authorization will be granted to those
gentlemen who have pctitiOned for a charter
Of Incorporation for The British Academy for
the Promotion of Historical, Philosophical and
Pathological Studies" The benefits to accrue
from the establishment of this institution in
n very peculiar sense remain to be seen" In
the meantime one pquant point Of controversy
is raised Icy the announcement that the Acad-
my will not concern itself with current
poetry, fiction or belles-lettreS. It's aim is to
do for the historical, philosophical and phlo-
logical sciences what the Royal iety has
done for the natural sciences" Hi .4erto when
ever the foundation of academy has been
advocated it has been assumed that literature
would be the first, if not the exclusive, object
of its solicitude. But while the omission Of
literature, in the general sense of the term
from the academic scheme as at present pro
posed naturally eXcites some heated objections.
it may be questioned if it is not after all, bet
ter that the scheme should 90 through on the
basis indicated above. The great point-which
has been labored over and over again from
Matthew ArnOld'S time DOWNS that if an
institution of this sort is TO be OF any use the
exercise of its functions must be the natural
expression of the genius Of the people eStab-
fishing it. English literature rejecting the
genius of the English people, has never shown
that it was in the slightest sympathy with the
academic ideal of pervasive discipline 1t
may be, therefore, that English literature will
be the better off if it goes its way unaffected
by any of the activities Of this new academy

The Southwestern Passenger Associa-
ton is believed to have been dissolved.
The Illinois State Railroad and Ware
house Commission has decided upon a
revision of the freight rates of the State.
Hereafter 2.000-mile books of individ-
nal roads will not be honored by any line
east of the Missouri river except the road
issuing them.
The Grand Trunk Railway system car
ried over 10000 tourists and sportsmen
into one district of Canada's summer
Fairgrounds last year.
Announcement is made by the Great
Northern road of additional low rate eX-
cursions to be run from Chicago and
St. Paul to points in the West.
President Yoakum of the st. Louis and
San Francisco road, intimateS that his
company will build to the Pacific coast,
with San Francisco as the ultimate ter
minus.
Contrary to report the low rate tourist
sleeping cars that were recently placed
in service by all lines between Chicago
and st. Paul will not be abandoned for
some time, if at all.
Among the recent orders for new equip
ment is a contract for six coaches by the
Wisconsin Central and one for ten bag
gage cars for the Erie system. Both or
ders call for modern cars.
President Ingals of the Big Four has
expressed disapproval of the pension sys-
TENS that have been adopted by several
railroad companies. He says it encour-
ages thriftlessness on the part OF en-
ployes.
It is the intention of the Illinois Cen
tral management to have as soon as pos
sible double track the entire distance
between Chicago and New Orleans. The
greater part of the distance between chi
cago and Cairo, H., is now provided with
two through tracks. This season the dou-
BILE track work will be principally south
of the Ohio river.
