 By this time the trolley was wrecked itself and it's passengers were strewn in all directions, the wonder being that there were not many fatalities.

Plenty of Books.

New York Tribune.
The publishing season is now facing the
quietude of the summer but we do not suf-
fer from lack of new books. On the con-
trary there are plenty of them to keep every
one occupied, no matter what his special
interest in literature may be. This, as cam
not be too often pointed out. is one of the
most important aspects of the literary mar
ket with which we have to reckon. AS the
hot weather approached we used TO receive
scarcely anything save fiction. Now there
are scores of new novels on the horizon, but
there are quite as many books of a more
serious character even the most captious
critic might ask. Stout volumes on sociol-
0gy and psychology make their appearance
at this time; history and biography are
fairly we'll represented, and it has even
seemed worth while to the publishers to
bring out at this time the first volumes in
an elaborate enterprise like the Illustrated
History of English Literature" edited by
DR.. Garnett and Mr.. GosSe. Books OF travel
are becoming as numerous the sands of
the sea. But, perhaps, the most encourage
ing part of the situation is that history,
biography and purely literary books are
now being made familiar to buyers of
books in the spring and summer. Though
the novel everywhere flaunts it's head, 1t
cannot claim to enjoy to-day the vogue
which 1t enjoyed only year or two ago.
