would not hold water, because five
farmers sons would do more practical
work on the farm than the whole hun

since then no opportunity offered for
saving it. Hundreds of acres lie rot

bananas being new experience on

was having joke at their expense,
but the buyer, Miss DAILY, of the South

ing account of the quality of the fruit
from Surgeon Houston of st. Stephens
Green, who bought portion from her.
He describes the flavor as excellent,
and fully equal to that of the fruit
when eaten ripe in the countries of
production. This should encourage
any Irish grower who undertakes its

BOOK REVIEW.

San CeIestino.-This is the most
beautiful story in the English Ian.
guage. To say this is certainly high
praise, for such tales as Fabiola and
Callista will instantly occur to many
readers as not unworthy rivals. But,
even with these two formidable rivals
in mind, the writer thinks that John
Ayscough's masterpiece deserves the
palm. AS a story, he would not place
1t second to Fabiola, and in beauty OF
style it is not out of place in company
with Cardinal Newman's most read.
able book.
San Celestino is the story of a real
character Of history, St. Celestine ",
who abdicated the papacy toward the
end of the thirteenth century. In four
books,-Petruccio, The Founder of the
Celestini, The Pope, II Rifinito,-the
author tells most exquisitely tale
that for charm and instructiveness, is
without peer in our tongue. He has
created from the scanty facts that his
tory has left of the saint a character
that seems as genuinely real as truth
itself.
The writer has used San Celestino
as a text in teaching a class in Eng
lish, and desires to recommend il
heartily to other teachers for the same
purpose. A cheap edition with notes
has been published by Smith Elder &
Co.. Is Waterloo Place, London. This
edition was specially prepared for stu
dents who wished to use the work as a
"set book" in the Oxford examinations
Among John Ayscough's other pro
auctions, the following are liked best
by most readers: "Marotz," "Dro
mine," "Hurdcott," "Mezzogiorno,'
"Faustula."
