LITERARY NOTES.

f. Marion Crawford, the brilliant
young novelist, has an article In the
August number of Everybody's Mag
azine in which he discusses the prob
lem OF Leo's successor with an inti-
mate knowledge Of the ground ana
me candidates that no other writer
could command, in view of the fact
that a most cordial friendship existed
between the head of the church and
the author. 1t is claimed that Leo
appointed Crawford his biographer
and gave him access to much valuable
information that the casual biographer
would never have acquired. Aside
from this excellent article, this most
estimable magazine contains an un-
usual number OF well written bits OF
fiction, some excellent half-tones OF
people of prominence, and several 1ol-
ly little stories of real life, the whole
making a magazine of unusual merit.
Frank A. Munsey, the pioneer in
the introduction of the popular price
magazine, has made fortune In the
past few years and now has many
periodicals and newspapers to look
after, but Munseys Magazine is never
neglected and grows brighter with
each issue, the August number being
the best number yet put forth. This
| is in keeping with MIR. Munsey's pol
! icy, to never retrench. but to improve
with every issue.

| sacred city of Thibet, are published in

The Captains Toll Gate" is the
title of new book just published by
d. Appleton e Co., New York. 1t is
by the late Frank r. Stockton and is
the last of his novels that VIII. ever
be published. Frank Stockton has
written some of the very best novels
of the age and his writings have al
ways been eagerly sought by both pub
Usher and reader and this, his last
novel, is considered by many critics
to be his best effort. The book is pre-
faced by a memoir of the noted author,
written by Mrs. Stockton and contains,
besides an excellent portrait of Stock
ton, himself, illustrations of his homes
at both Convent, N, j., and Charles
Town, w. Va. No library is complete
without this last work of Frank R.
Stockton.
Among the many interesting books
recently published by Houghton, Nuf-
fin & Co, New York, is THE Lega-
tee" by Alice Prescott Smith. 1t is
a dramatic and absorbing novel and
one that will be widely read. There is
excellent character drawing in it and
the interest is well sustained through
out. 1t is just the book to buy to take
with you on your summer outing and
it will bear a second reading when
you return to the home. 1t is excel
lently and tastefully bound and an
especially handsome volume for the
: library shelves.

The Bacon Idea.

Prof. Thomas Shaw: In our judg-
ment no more important question con-
fronts the growers Of swine to-day.
The operation of breeds is only lit
tie pigmy compared with the gigantic:
question of lard and bacon swine. It
means more to the country than many
shall ever know. Millions in our judy
ment are bound up in it, since it
bears directly on the stamina of swine,
upop their proliicacy, upon correct
methods of feeding swine and also
the soil, and upon providing for man
the kind of pork which is most to his
liking. But do not look for the bacon
idea to prevail in this country, as it
does in Canada or Denmark for many
years to come, if indeed ever, especi-
ally in the corn belt. l do not, there
fore, plead for the bacon idea to cap
ture the British bacon market as those
countries have, but rather because Of
what there is in the idea for us. My
contention is that we can grow bacon
pork more cheaply pound for pound
than we can grow lard pork. And
when we do grow it we have a super
ior quality of meat. We can grow
bacon more cheaply because swine
thus grown are more prolific, they are
less liable to diseases, and can better
resist disease when it comes. Such
pork is more relished by the consumer
and will eventually command higher
price and the notifications necessary
in growing it will have benefcent in
f1uence on the industry and on the
maintenance of fertility in land.

all cows are usually MIXED in the

that the putrefactiye bacteria are
found in abundance. These get into

King Edwards intention to take an

terfeld to see the famous church with
the crooked spire, has awakened the
great interest in that curious build
ing, and it is likely there will be
revival of the pilgrimages that form
erly were made to that section.
The church is an architectural
freak. The steeple is 22S feet hi h,
and in some manner has become
twisted so that it now is six feet out
Of the perpendicular.
There are various theories as to
how the spire became crooked. One
is that the clinging pressure of the
lead caused an irregular subsistence
Of the timber framework. The other
Is that the action of the sun caused

immediate benefactions in view we
may hope that no discouraging rise
in cost will be demanded. Old Popo-
catapetl was a lively factor in his
