LOHOOu MILL
In Mr.. Z. Francis's new novel, Chris
tian Thai" which is running through Long
mans Magazine, presumably for publica-
ton in book form in the autumn, there is
noticeable quite a new thing in chapter
headings. Each chapter is prefaced by some
bars of music, which, we must suppose,
have some bearing on the events and emo
lions thereafter described. There is in head
ings almost as much character and choice
as in novels themselves.
The practice of using verse is almost as
flourishing as it used to be when We all
wept over "Cometh Up as a Flower or
Goodbye, Sweetheart" Miss Braddon has
nearly always been faithful to quotations.
Some, of an even more generous turn, have
given us a wide variety OF choice in both
prose and poetry. The Older writers were
wont to be descriptive, as thus (from Pen
dennis): "In>which Fanny engages a new
medical man, or even more narrative and
cryptic, as: Relates how preparations
were carried on under the April of Lovers, :"
from Richard Feverel.
The usual method in favor with modern
writers is to endeavor to obtain some short
summing up or verdict for the chapter,
which probably appeals to the average read
er most strongly. But there is also the
present tense and first person" system,
which is in vogue, particularly in historical
novels-for example. 81 make a discovery
This also is alluring, as Lord Quex
would say, and one must surrender at once,
if one las any spirit. before such challenges
as What We Saw wherever it was.
This is to play on our feelings, but is it
fair?
In order, no doubt, to avoid being in
volved in old-world decadence and effcte
traditions, the Americans have invented a
way of their own. Austere, rigorous and
| unbending, after the fashion of their Puri-
tan fathers. they have deleted the chapter
headings. There is no weakening here. To
conceive of Mr.. W. ID. Howells with a friv-
| olous chapter heading! No; one only Won
| ders that he condescends to christen his
| novels and is grateful to him for this con-
| cession to Trailer human beings.

learned, the slightest probability that We
shall have another novel from Mr.. Hardys
pen. He is understood to have finished his
career as a novelist, and if We have any
more work from his pen ii will probably be
in the form of verse. We can understand
a like decision in the case of Mr. Meredith,
for Mr.. Meredith has reached the age when
he is entitled to rest but Mr.. Hardy is by
no means old man, and his best work
has been that of recent years Why he has

Mr.. Jerome X. Jerome, it is said, is seri-
ously contemplating the career OF
dramatist, to the exclusion of the further
writing of serious fiction, or his own pc
culiar brand of humor. He has made one
success on the stage, but that would APP
pear to be a slender basis whence ITO be-
gin operations in field so sadly overcrowd-
ed Many would think it to be the more
sensible course for MIR. Jerome to be con-
tent with the facile successes he has won
in the scarcely less densely populated realm
OF fiction, and to add to them in comfort
able security. But he may be ambitious of
other victories; and again, the greater re-
wards may tempt him.
There is, for instance, Mr.. ]. NJ. Barrie,
the demieod of the kailyard, who has for
saken literature for the drama to the ex-
ceeding benefit of his pocketbook, if not
of his fame. 1.-The Little Minister was a

scarcely ever can be art; Quality Street
served its purpose for season, but was
not deserving of serious consideration; of
his dramatic work thus far only the "Ad-
mirable Crichton,' the play which we are
to see here next season, seems to have
qualities that entitle it to respectful treat
ment. So, whatever his financial rewards,
Mr.. Barrie has not improved his artistic
position by the change. 1t is possible. of
course, that the decline of public interest

departure, but of its absolute success, of
Mr.. Barrie's staying" qualities a

speak.
The rewards of the drama are greater
than those of fiction, no doubt, but the
prizes are correspondingly rarer, and the
failures more numerous. The vogue of
the dramatiZed novel, the sums 1t earned,
naturally enough turned every popular nov
elist into a dramatic aspirant. Its days
are numbered, however, according to Mr..
Charles Frohman. who certainly ought to

SHiSdSO LII
The report of Librarian Hid shows that
works of fiction are the most popular books
in the Chicago public library This is
nothing new. 1t is the same with all IL
brares where general literature is circu-
lated and in the book and publishing trades.
In the Chicago public library the circu-
lation of English prose fiction during the
past year was nearly AZ per cent. of the en-
tire issue of books to it's patrons. What
is styled Juvenile literature" probably
mostly fiction, amounted TO q per cent. of
the entire circulation. Nearly three-fourths
of all the books issued were fiction or in
the nature of fiction.
History and biography with geography
and travels came next to fiction in popu-
larity, but all amounted to only 10 per cent.
of the total number of books distributed
to casual readers. Poetry and the drama
interested only less than two persons in a
hundred of those drawing books from the
library. Books of science and art amount
ed to 6 per cent. of the circulation.
