Max O'Rell's little incident of Mathew Arnold's temper of dissatisfaction, which is told in "Rambles in Wonderland" is worth repeating as a side light. Max O'Rell, with Robert Louis Stephenson. was visiting the house of E. c. Stedman when one came in with the announce ment of the cablegram, which told the news of Arnold's death. Stephenson lifted his face, and in a tone most lachry- won't please him."
 It is hard to believe that MT. Bell could not give away the manuscript of Wee Macgregor," but We are informed that he first offered the copyright for ten, pounds to two publishers, and then the book with out price. MT. Bell had to publish at his own risk, greatly to his advantage. to be sure.
 Here is a pretty picture of his father, which Max Muller gives us:
 "I think remember my father taking my sister and me on his knees, and telling us the most delightful stories, that set us wondering, and laughing, and cry ing. tin we could laugh and cry no more. He had been a fellow worker with the brothers Grimm, and the stories he told were mostly from their collection, though he knew how to embellish them with any thing that could make child laugh and cry"
 The following description of some time in Muller's early life. which he gives us in his Autobiography, is a fine recipe for thankfulness for our young students:
 q remember the time when I wrote with my breath frozen on my bedclothes into a thin sheet of ice. We were ex- pected to wash and dress in an attic where the windows were so thickly frozen as to admit hardly anly light in the morn ing and where, when we tried to break the ice in the jug, there were only a few drops left at the bottom with which to wash No wonder that the ablutions were expeditions. After they were performed we had our speedy breakfast. consisting of a cup of coffee. and semmel, or roll, and then we rushed to school, often through the snow that had not yet been swept from the pavement. We sat in school from to F. rushed home again. had our very simple dinner. and then back to school from ? to f. How we lived through 1t I sometimes wonder, for we were thinly clad and often wet with rain and snow; and yet We enjoyed our life as boys only can enjoy it, and had no time to be i'll. One blessing this early roughing has kept me for life-a power of enjoying many things which, to most of my friends. are matters of course or of no consequence.

MT. Garnett has a singular fault of treating stories of the ancient time and of classical setting In such way as to satirize modern follies and weaknesses. These tales have distinct originality, and are clever in an unusual way. (John Lane. N. Y.)

Round Rock Anvil.

A story of the blue grass region; but it deals with a period much anterior to the period of "Olmeld." It is study of pioneer conditions in Kentucky at the be- ginning of the last century, and brings out very clearly the combination of rough conditions with great dignity of manner and refinement of character. It is more distinctly romantic in tone than it's pre- iecessor, and has a more highly articu- lated plot. One of it's chief figures Is a man whose romantic story and mysterf- ous fortune have long been part of the traditions of Kentucky. The heroine is a beautiful creature, full of lightness and grace, with an ethereal quality that will rank her among the rare creations of fic- ton. The love story which runs through the novel is extremely we'll told, and is idyllic in It's purity and grace.

Idyls of the cass.

These tales and sketches of Jewish life in a German village Q generation ago have both humor and pathos, and more- over are imbued with true literary sim cerity and feeling. They are full of quaint and to most of us, novel bits of tradi- ton and custom as they were in the old Judengasse. These stories may be com pared not unfavorably with Mr. Fang wills early work in this direction. The author writes with simplicity and natur- alness, and her characters, though types. have also the breath of individual life. (McMillan Co.,, New York.)

The Gentle Art of Making Happy.


 This is a little book that one would like to sow broadcast. In the crowded days, so full of activity and q rush,o the gentle arts'' of life are apt to be neg lected, so what can be more welcome or more timely, than a word on that art which influences home life more than any other.
 The author distinguishes between joy and happiness. He says, "To create joy is the science of God; but to foster happi- ness Is the science of man." But to practice this art we must be fellow-work- CTS with God; and 1t is mainly by the exercise of the common and simple gifts that happiness is given. Health, kindli- ness, the glance of sunshine in the morn ing, the friend, the word of sympathy and encouragement, the smile. a look-these common and everyday simple things are Gods gentle art of making happy.

This is also the oldest reward of good scholarship.
 The first prizes were awarded in 1771. and Aaron Burr received the English prize, Henry Brockholst Livingston the Latin, Henry Lee the one for turning English into Latin.

The Geography, of Disease.

This Is mainly descriptive work. ex- hibiting the areas of distribution, and the comparative virulence in different regions of the various diseases in mankind, to- gether with their etiology, so far as the causes of disease are known or suspected. Epidemic diseases such as the grip and the plague, are also traced in their prop agation from place to place. A large amount of interesting information has been compiled in this volume with many valuable suggestions, and the number of unsettled questions is equally remarkable. (McClure Co.,, New York.)

Questionable Shapes.

This work deals with the most modern subjects, and ventures for the first time in that borderland which of recent years tempted, perplexed and bewildered : great many people to whom the problems of modern psychology are full of fascina- tion. These stories constitute new spe- cies of ghost stories. and in dealing with his elusive and spectral themes, Mir. Howells has used all the delicacy and subtlety of his art. The tales are not blood-curdling, they do not terrify. and in most cases they do not deceive us by any semblance to reality; but they are carefully told. and their grouping in this volume indicates that MT. Howells Is se- riously interested in this recurrence in dramatic form of the problems of immor- tality, of thought transference. and kim dred things. QIarper & Bro, New York.)

Italian Ingenuity.

Hotel keepers usually have little diff
fculty in providing their guests with
food; but the case Is different IL one
happens to be keeping hotel half
way up O snOw-clad mountain.
An Italian who keeps small hotel
pm Mont Blanc discovered recently that
whenever the weather was bad 1t was
difficult for him to communicate with
the grocery store In the valley which
supplied him with provisions. After
much thought, according to the Illus
trazione Italiana. he contrived a new
method Of communication.
He connected his hotel and the store
by means Of stout telegraph wire,
and now whenever he desires to make
a purchase he simply slides down the
wire, and in a minute lands safely al
the grocery store.
That his descent in this fashion IL
rather risky can readily be seen, but
the enterprising Boniface has not yet
met with the slightest accident Dur
ing the first few trips his hands were
lacerated by the wire, but as he gained
experience he learned to protect then
from injury.
