We are to have an eruption of coun- try life magazines. When Messrs. Doubleday. Page and Company started Country Life In America, they vir- tually had the field to themselves. But they are not to have it long, for the publishers of The Reviews of Re- views are going to start a magazine along similar lines early in the spring. The new magazines will be printed in Harrisburg, by the same printer whose work was such a distinguished fea- ture of Country Life. And there is still another magazine of fields and pastures,-this from the publishers of Country Life. who find that they can not cover certain department as ex- haustively as they would like. Their new magazine Is to be called The Gar den Magazine, and the first number will appear in February. few years ago it would have been hard work to make a success of a magazine of this sort, but now the American peo- pie are turning their attention to country homes and country life. The weekend" in the country is getting to be as much of ap institution in the United States as tt is in England. all of which tends to the popularizing of magazines that deal with country life.-The Lounger in The January Critic.

suece.sfuI PIay-writing.

Mr. Daniel Frohman, in the course of an article in the current Harper 8 Weekly in which he presents some in terestihg views of the stage, offers a formula for the making of a successful play. Whatever the theme, he says, the play must conform to our Ameri- can standards; 1t must contain the love element; and it must be so contrived as to appeal first of all to the gall leries and upper circles; for he be- lieves that if these are pleased, the success of the play is assured. From the large middle class of theatre-go- ers." he says, "the interest radiates to all classes" Some might argue in re- ply that the success of Bernard Shaw's Candida" was won independently of an appeal to the class mentioned by MT. Frohman,

Darwin,s Double Confirmed.

Darwins own doubt concerning evolution--whether 1t takes place more by slow than by sudden changes--is again justified by Hugo de vrfes. Pro- lessor of Botany in the University of Amsterdam, who contributes to the January Harper's the results of his ex- periments concerning the origin of species. Professor de Vries confined his study to the great evening prim- rose, or Lamarckiana, and his narrative of the experiments is as interesting as a story. He has proved that the Lamarckiana produces new forms by sudden leaps, without preparation or intermediate specimens.

The Critic.


 In the January number of The Critic Mir John D. Barry has written an interesting review of MT. Aldricns s dramatic poem, Judith of Beuthulia." which was recently played in New York by Nance C'Neil. He criticises MT. Aldrfch. for being a novice in the work of play construction, though competent to write in prose and verse after long and successful practice in the rare and delicate art. In addition to more important arti- cles. the January Critic contains the tenth installment of Our Best So- ciety."

The King banished him from court. and as the worthy doctor departed he predicted the day of his angry sovereign's death--a prediction promptly realized. He also quarrelled with Queen Anne, told her that her ailment was nothing else but the vapors," and because she resented his independence declined to attend her on her death-bed.

 Amanda of the Mill, by Marie Won Worst, increases each minute in inter- est. The story deals with the hands of our Southern Cotton Mills. The char acters are well drawn. The dialect Is in the main true. The mistake Is made, all writers born north of Mason and Dixon's line make the same error, of putting "youns' in the mouths of our hill or mountain folk in addressing an individual. How are you-uns?" is never said to one person, but to sev- era1. t'Where is youuns hat?" never, What time by your watch" a hill bil- lie" would say, never "you-uns watch" Possibly "you-uns clock" holding that the clock belonged to a household of several individuals. But this is a minor matter.

the best clover districts of the East
This sample was the average growth
OF II field that he sowed last April on
granite land, which before he put it
under irrigation was totally un.
productive, other than to scant growth
of brush that was upon it, Mr.
Wynant's land is part Of the l2, 600
acres of granite land that extends
from Rogue river, south of Grants
Pass, to Applegate river, and which
Is held by many to be worthless, for
agricultural purposes, As in Mr.
Wynant's case this land whenever
water is put upon it, produces grass,
grain and fruit in great abundance.
Mr.. Wynant. like many other farmers
of Josephine county, is devoting his
entire attention to hay, growing
alfslfa. olovsr and timothy for the
market. He formerly grew con-
siderable fruit, but discouraging
market conditions rendered the bust.
ness so Improbable that he dug up
the greater part Of his fruit trees and
berry vines. Mr.. Wynant lost so
much money on the fruit business by
reason Of the dishonesty of com.
mission men that hd Is skeptical Of
the industry ever heing profitable.
But be will watch the work of tho
new Josephine County Fruitgrowers

curing prof fable prices FOR fruit he
may again take up fruit raising.
While hay has been very profitable
for the last few years yet so many
farmers are putting all their land to
grass Mr., Wynant Is not so sure that
meadows will be the money makers
In the next few years that they now
are and the hay growers will need a
