Chinese Postal Service.

Originally started by Sir Robert
Hart as the customs postal service, the
Chinese postal service has grown to
big proportions. The Chinese are
great letter writers, and something
over 350000,000 letters were carried
by the Chinese posts in one year. 1t
is the most extensive and the cheapest
postal system in the world. The Chin
csc post will carry letter to any part
of China for about a cent and a
half, whether 1t is sent by rail, or
horse, or foot-courier.

Everybody is knitting sweaters so
that it takes some little ingenuity to
accomplish sweater which looks diff
ferent from everyone else's in the knit
ting class. One excellent way TO ac
complish this end is to use cross stitch
in wool on the collar corners. As
most of the sweaters made have con-
trasting collar and cuffs, either of
plain wool or of angora, it is an easy
matter to bring out the conventional
cross stitch design with the colored
wool of the sweater. A not too con-

not call them, for, as Sir Sidney makes
plain, they were animated by no truly
critical motive. They were not sin
cere. They were simply trying to be
devilishly smart, at no matter what ex-
pense of truth and decency. Black
wood and his underlings, Wilson and
Iockhart, were determined TO push
the magazine into notoriety, by fair
means or foul" Their magazine was
the worst of the disgraceful lot. THE
Quarterly, as conducted by the acrid
and deformed pedant Clifford, had no
mercy for opponents, and one OF the
harshest of its contributors was the
virtuous Southey. The Edln-

TIE POEMS OF FRANK DEMPSTER SHER-
MAN Edited with an introduction by Cin.9h
ScoIard $40. -. XIV, 900. HOughton MIMI
Company.
Mr.. Scollard appropriately applies TO
Mr.. Sherman's poems the old Latin
legend, Hic habitat felicitas. That is
true of his writings in fuller measure
than of most other poets Of comparable
standing. 1t is not that he did not feel
deeply nor that he did not hear the
travail cries and feel the agoniZing
throes of the laboring world. But he
also felt the sheer JOY Of living and
saw the sunshine and heard the music
of blithe delight; phases and phenom-
ena Of human existence which are just
as true and just as realistic as the
other. His was the temperament of
Herrick, Of Locker, of Dobson, and his
expressions Of il were comparable with
theirs. We have had no daintier lyrics,
no more delicate and whimsical verse
de societ6, than his. And truly we need
the Lutte and the mandolin in our or
chestre humane as well as the trumpet
and the drum.
Mr.. Sherman could have had no more
sympathetic editor or none that he
himself would more unhesitatingly

We say history rather than biography
adyisedly, for this splendid volume is
FAR more than mere sketch of the
poets life. IL is a literary history Of
his times, searching and critical; IL is
schelsFIy and sympathetic review Of
his writings; 10 IS an account Of his
friends and Of his hostile critics; and
il is a study OF the triumphant growth
and establishment of his worldwide
fame. For this, we have said, Keats
has waited long. II is a hundred years

he died. under the illusion that his
