From the New York Mail.

AA IV pressed in England over the literary feat of girl of I7 years, who has written a well-constructed and womanlke historical novel. More praise than is good for any juvenile men, tai digestion is being lavished upon the author and the bookish prophets are pre- dieting all manner of achievements for her future. There was the same talk about much the same sort of book by much. the same sort of debutante in this country five or six years ago. The par allel includes the age of the two girls, the matter of their books and the absurd over-praise of the stories.
 Both girls told a stirring story with much fighting and love-making. Both had studied diligently and succeeded in portraying faithfully the costumes and customs of their chosen periods. And both of course, failed utterly in com prehension of the spirit of an earlier age; their twentieth century characters think ing and doing twentieth century thoughts and deeds all through the two masquer- ades.
 The promised masterpieces have not come from the young American, though she has written books better than the first which have caused not one-hun- dredth part of the stir. We shall wait incredulously for actual accomplishment by the English girl before we hail the advent of a, new great name in fiction. One Pope does not make a poetical sum mer. One Fanny Burney does not dis

FATE OF INFANT PRODIGY

1 pei our disbelief in the youthful prodigies of literature
 Unlike the young Napoleons of finance, the marvellous children Of art do not
 usually become early bankrupts. Espe-
 cially is this true of musicians. As in
 the case of chess players, genius of that
 type frequently has shown itself unmis- takably in childhood. Just as Paul Mor- phy beat the masters of the Cafe de la Regence while in knickerbockers and con- tinued the chess king as long as he re-
 tained his faculties, so Mozart was 8
 master from boyhood, and other child
 wonders have become great musicians in
 almost every generation.
 The same Is true. though to a less ex- tent, of the actor. The young Roscius seldom becomes the foremost tragedian
 or comedian of his day. But early train ing develops mimetic gifts, and we need
 look no further back than the days of the Juvenile Pinafore' companies and
 the Little Lord Fauntleroy' period to find a long list of capable players, in
 favor today, whose first diplomas came from those schools of acting.
 In painting and sculpture the youthful prodigy does little more than indicate latent talent. From Giotto down, all that the child has done is to show fitness to enter upon the long apprenticeship that must precede the true artists crafts manship. The writer must be placed beside the painter, not the musician. At rare in-
 tervals a Chatterton or a Charlotte Bronte is born. But there is no need to
 mistake for the miraculous each new exhibition of immature cleverness.

Bishop Estate Executes
k0OIau and Puma
Leases.

1t looks as though Kahuku plantation

ed. At least such is the reasonable
surmise that has been heard regarding
a lease executed by the trustees of the
Bishop estate to Jas. B. Castle of the
lands of PunaIuu and Kaluanui, Koo-
lau, Oahu.
Although. Mr. Castle, before he left
for the mainland this week, had dis
posed of his controlling interest in Ka-
huku Plantation Co. to Alexander &
Baldwin, he is a big man in the latter
corporation and would likely. as is
thought, assign the lease to it.
There is an area of about 1000 acres
in the leasehold, including all kinds.
Probably between 800 and 400 acres is
arabic land suitable for cane cultiva-
ton. 1t takes in land now cultivated
in rice by Chinese.
Under the conditions of the lease the
land has to be fenced off and the cat
tie upon it removed. The lease is for
a term of fifty years. It includes the
