the jokes In his novels are OF poor quality,
and as for his puns, Charles Lamb, who
desired that his last breath should be ex.
hailed In a pun, would have died with
pun still unblown rather than have let
his reputation be damaged in ettremis hv
such specimens as Balzao was wont to
fabricate.
That Bazac knew bad pun from good
one, however, is evident from the deolara-
ton which he puts in the mouth Of long
headed publisher who would have nothing
to do with poets. Les vers devoreront
la librarie!" he cried. A kind OF word play
not infrequent with Balzac Is exemplihed
when Lousteau, a journalist who sells tho
books given him to review and buys his
gloves with the proceeds, says 10 those
authors who publish at their own expense;
"J'ai toujours votre ivre dams les mains"
As for the jokes that are not dependent
on playing upon words we are reminded
that whole series of practical jokes is
perpetrated on the citizens of 1ssoudun by
the esGurrdnts OF that town, rowdy youths
whose parents allow them latchkeys and
who are captained by the dashing and
immoral Maxence Gilet in that study Of
the effects OF maternal spoiling-"Un
Menage de Garcon." The Sous-Prefet.
who as Balzac says united to the mania
for having fresh eggs for breakfast that of
liking TO cook them himself is harassed
by the nightly substitution of hard boiled
eggs for fresh in his hen house without ever
suspecting that there has been any trickery
in the matter and is compelled to change
his diet. Then, again, farmer loses his
cart which he had left in the market place.
and finds it again on the top of a steep castle
mound; the watchdogs in the town are
poisoned, and 80 on. Curiously enough,
these jokes were not regarded by Balzao
himself as humor, but as being entirely
appropriate to the place and people with
whom they are associated and especially
to the odious type of loutish youth repre-
sented by his practical jokers.

The Latest Book About BaIzsc.

A series OF striking articles that originally
we're published in the Empire Rerieu have
been reprinted with some additions by
their author, Mr.. w. II. HELM under the
title of Aspects OF Bdisdc James Pott & Co. }.
So extensive had come to he the literature
about Balzac that most Of us had taken for
granted that there was nothing new to be
said about the novelist That this is a
mistake might be suspected from a glance
at the mere titles OF two of Mr.. Helms
articles. namely, "Balzac and Dickens, and
The Humor of Balzac." So far as we
know, nobody had thought of comparing
in print the authors Of Modesto Mignon
and Little Dorrit," and, while nobody
has denied Balzac's possession of wit, he
has seldom, il ever. been credited with
humor. Less original, though well worth
careful examination, is what the author of
the book before us has to say about Balzac e
methods and about the women and men Of
the Human Comedy" We should add
that an attempt to trace the literary refer
ences in Balzac has the curious result OK
showing that the writer's whose nam es
and works come most frequently into
Balzac's mind when he pauses for an illus
tration are all English. They are Richard
son, Scott, Fenimore Cooper, Sterne and
Byron. 1t seems that no book ever made a
greater impression on the French novelist
than "Clarissa Harlowe." 1t crops up here
there and everywhere in the "Com6die
Humane. That magnificent poem" as
Balzao calls Richardson's novel, was, in
deed, far more than an object OF admiration
to hint was, in several respects, the model
from which he worked. In that fantastic

Without going deeply into the past our
author deems it sufi cicnt to recall that
important landmark in the history of the
Far East, namely the Intervention of
Russia, France and Germany in 1895, which
deprived Japan of the greater part of the
fruits = her victories in the war with China,

We shall not of course, undertake to
follow the correspondent Of the Times
through all the details Of his narrative
nor is it needfu, since in a compendious
chapter he has given the gist Of the wars
first year. The author bears witness that
Russia fought throughout the disastrous
twelvemonth with all the obstinacy and
courage that from time immemorial have
distinguished her arms. Such as the
Russians we're at Poltava, at Torndof,
at Borodino and at Sebastopol such they
showed themselves on the battledelds of
Manchuria. It is not the Russian rank
and file that have lost prestige, it is the
fundamental principles Of Russian state
craft and government that have been
covered with obloquy. ITO grab every
thing, give back nothing keep on claiming

to hold her tongue and have some re- gard for the rights and especially the feelings of other people. Peace on Earth. Good Will to Menr That's itl I'll go out shopping for it till get just what I want"
 Mrs Batterem visited six big stores Tn pursuit of her game All were crowded to overflowing, for all the rest of the women were out for Christi mas bargains, Peace on Earth, Good Will to Men," Mrs. Batterem kept say ing to herself as she pushed roughly through the throngs. her teeth set and do or die" expression on her face
 She let the heavy swinging door at Seilitalls flop slambang against the nose of woman who was entering just behind her. The other woman gave cry of pain. Mrs. Batterem heard 1t, but only showed on faster. She dug her elbows into the sides of the little women, she pushed her strong shoulders against the taller ones, she even stuck her substantial %oot out to the right to push back a woman who was abreast of her.
 Mrs. Batterem rent a great slit in the bead and lace trimming of one woman's coat, she tore lose from the gathers at the waist another wo- mans skirt.
 At one table she saw displayed afar CA hhC ahOtNO ohG NdHLtu- ole DlunR- ed up the wrong side of the crowded aisle, knocking together roughly the heads of two little children who had come out with their mother One of the children was thrown to the floor.
 Don't you see I'm in an awful hur- ry? Peace on Earth. Good Will to Men," exclaimed Mrs. Batterem and strode on over her victims. She car ried with her in the chain of her hand bag one of the tails of a lady's costly fur stole, which had been caught, but on she rushed. murmur- ing still. Peace and Good Will"
 'Oh, dear there comes that awful Mrs. Battering Ram!'' said one of tha girl clerks. who knew the invincibIe dame's reputation for downing ali shoppers that stood in her way
 Mrs. Batterem ruthlessly showed a timid little woman aside and took her place at the table. Can't you see I'm in an awful hurry? Quick. girl, I want that motto with the border of Peace on Earth. Good Will to Men on it.
 Another would-be purchaser was be- fore her, however; a woman who was just saying, sI'H take this one" But no fool little scruples of politeness or bashfulness restrained the woman who was going to teach her mother-in-law a lesson on shedding kind1iness and, courtesy abroad. She snatched the mottb from the other woman's hand and held onto 1t so tightly that the other woman could not have secured even half of 1t without tearing 1t In two. The other woman yielded. Mrs. Batterem bore her prize home in tTi- umph.
 There" said she, as she affixed the motto to the wall. Peace on Earth Good Will to Menr". Maybe that'il give old Madam Batterem a hint to be civil and not ride rough shod over other folks
