THE MASTER OF STAIR

New York, April 22.-The popularity
 in life and literature of Nancy Stair may yet bring the whole Stair family
 into print, The interest in their lives would seem to deserve it. Sir John Dalrymple, the Master of Stair,
 and father of Nancy, has now been made book figure by Miss Majorie
 Bowen. Her novel, "The Leopard and
 the Lily has been withdrawn from
 publication for the present by Me- Cure. Phillips & Co.,, in favor of the
 book. sThe Master of Stair. This is
 published today. Apart from the quail
 ity of the story, there will be more or less serious purport in this book in
 it's historical treatment. The finding of some important old documents en-
 ables Miss Bowen to develop new and interesting theme--that there was no real massacre of Glencoe, and that
 the leg end of it involved a pretty piece of knavery and a love story. For
 Sir John Dalrymple, minister for Scot land, under William of Orange, was
 much involved with Earl of Douglas, popularly called Jack Breadalbane, a member of the unpatriotic and hated Campbells, in an endeayor to annihj- late the opposition of the MacDonalds and other small clans. Douglas had the ambition to have control of the Highlands, and Dalrymple to be king of England. The affair at Glencoe was an orthodox attack, the slaughter being brought on by refusal to s'lrren- der and a return attack. Meanwhile woman whom Stair had courted, having discovered the personal and official duplicity of the man, fabricat- ed, with the aid of an officer, the story of the massacre to revenge him. The revenge came, for the massacre made him generally hated, and the king de- posed him.

Dickens and Schoolmasters.

Dickens, with something in his dis. position peculiarly sympathetic toward children. was a bitter foe of any one relative. teacher or ofScial guardian who tyrannized over them. \ writer ill the New York Post points out that he seems to take special delight in eX- posing Il" ..!isdcetis of mercenary and cold hearted pedagogues When ones notice. says the Post. lis first directed to t.le attention the novelist gave to schools and their methods, it is inter- estills to try tO recall the number men toned. Six come to mind instantly Dotheboys Hall, Dr. Blimber's. David Coppertield's two schoois-Dr. Strongs and Mr Greakle's - the Gradwrind school and Bradley Headstone's in Our Mutual Friend. But even the most devoted reader of Dickens is amazed upon special investigation to discover the sum total of twenty eight There is not a phase of education that he does not touch upon, and wrong methods are revealed and commented upon ill tones so caustic and with req son so unerring that better conditions were the natural result"
