A New Effect in Cn1ld Study.

No one is impervious to the charm of child study. as betrayed by J. J. Bell in ''wee MacGregor." It Is the outcome of sketch that this young Scotch jour nalist had written for his paper, that was so inimitably true to life, that MT. Bell recognized the fact himself and con- tinued his subject: thereby giving us with his Scotch hero and Scotch dialect, story so true and life-like. so tender and pa thetfc. so quaintly humorous. that we have renewed in 1t our old time love for the colloquial Scotch, which was first excited by George Macdonald.
 Some tell us that they mind the task of working out the sense of the thought Such a intolerance to enjoyment of the Scotch Is unfortunate, for so much of the beauty of Scotch fiction lies in its quaint ness, and without the language half of that would be lacking. Crocketts new book, Banner of Blue" is, despite the dialect. and the multiplicity of characters, we venture to say. story that not many will be able to lay aside until the end is reached. The Laird of Covers love for his erring son Is the beauty spot in the whole book-and so touching that none can be indifferent to it's pathos.

What an array of new books is present. ed to us in these Spring days. And the catalogues; oh, the catalogues! We are all addicted. more or less, to the "cata- logue habit" as Eugene Field called 1t in his Love Affairs of a Bibliomaniac." :" All real booklovers are responsive to Fields enthusiasm, betrayed in his own charming, gossipy way that was all his own-in the following reference to his endowment of the catalogue season. HBring in the candles, good servitor, and arrange them at my beds head; sweet avocation awaits me. for here I have a goodly parcel of catalogues with which to commune. They are messages from Methuen, Sotheran. Libbie. Irvine, Hut, Davey. Baer, Crawford. Bangs, McClurg. Matthews, Francis, Bouton, Scribner, Benjamin and a score of other friends in every part of Christendom; they deserve and they shall have my respectful-nay, my enthusiastic attention. Once more I shall seem to be in the old familiar shops where treasures abound, and where pa tient delving bringeth rich rewards. Egad, what a spendthrift shall be this night; pence, shillings. thalers. marks. francs, dollars. sovereigns-they are all the same to me.
 Then after I have comprehended all
 
 shall be my dreams of shelves overfowing with the wealth of which my fancy has possessed mel"
 What an enthusiastic betrayal of a love of books is that Austin Dobson. too has given us an exquisite revelation of his interest in old books, in these two thoughtful verses:
 There a book was still a book,
 Where wistful man might look, Finding something through the whole
 Beating - like human soul. Something that one still perceives
 Vaguely present in the leaves, Something. from the worker lent; Something mute-but eloquent!
 What wonder that we scan the cata- logue. with keen interest, as the fore runner of that something from the worker lent" What worker? And what has he done? We stand on tip-toe as it were. over the new Book Notices" Every new book is the beat of a human saul', upon our human soul, and we await with anxious expectation for the voice Chat shall call us to heartfelt response.

 Mir. Cyrus Townsend Brady has writ ten an article on "A Preacher at the Theatre" which will be published in Har- per's Bazar. It is sure to excite com ment for MT. Brady has essayed to rep resent both the artistic and moral side of the theatres, as he has seen 1t during the season just past.
 It would be difficult for the young peo- pie who nowadays devour so much fic- tion, to understand the restriction in the homes in the days of Puritanism. Shan F. Bullock tells us that he was 19 years old when he read his first novel, for, said he, "In my fathers house novel reading was unknown and forbidden" He must have indulged too voraciously, for he tells us now that he cannot enjoy reading George Elliott as he did in thta first read ing of Adam Bede"-for that was the first novel that he read-and he surmises that time has taken some of the flavor out of this acknowledged classic.
 Kate Douglas wiggin will spend the Summer in her country home in Maine. She has a new story ready for the pulp fishers. which will be one of the coming Autumn books.
 We are led to anticipate another of MT. Robert Hitchenss sensational books Felix" as an American edition is now announced. Those who have any knowl- edge of this authors former work, viz: '"The Green Carnation," "The Imaginative Man." will certainly not congra atulate the American reading public for having still more of this questionable moral trend' put into our literature. Mir. Kitchens has been accused of playing with fire; and in a fiippant manner. We are told that the subject of this new book is the power of maternal love-and that it is vividly and dramatically expressed.
