Dostoyevsky and Flaubert.

"0 the year 1921 the novel owes
the birth of two Of its great
est geniuses. Gustave Flau-
bert and Fyodor Dostoyevsky have
done more for the evolution of the
modern novel than most literary
historians have so far credited
them with. Indeed, the similarity
in the destinies of both is so strik-
ing in some respects as to seem
almost fatalistic. Born in the same
year, each lived TO open new Fistas
OF literary creation, to suffer of
epilepsy and to die about the same
in 1880 and Dosto-
yevsky in 1881. But this is where
the similarity ends. The French
man never did feel the whip OF
poverty; his temperament was

A LETTER from Stevenson to

A LETTER from Stevenson to

marked Sydney, New South Wales,
April Is, 1890, and discovered long
after Stevenson's death, read in
part: 81 sail in some forty hours
back among the islands, which are
now more hOmelike in my eyes
than the world in which l once
lived" That was the effect of
twenty-five months of the lure of
the South Seas. For nearly three
years after the departure from San
Francisco Stevenson journeyed up
and down the face Of the Pacific.

taxing numerically the oooR
errors. Paris is a fayorite
hunting ground for the careless
writer. Rue de Rivoli seems to be
quite regular. One can only sup
pose that these writers copy from
one another. A few typographical
errors are as follows: Rue de
Rivoli on the wrong side of the
river, the Madeleine being placed
where the Opera is: five minutes
walk for what would take at least
three-quarters of an hour. In one
hook, by an American, the houses
in Park lane faced on st. James's
Park, and one turned out of Picca-
dilly Circus into Trafalgar Square.
One book by an author. who was
French scholar, had a blunder all
through it-yiUe drOit instead of
riue drOite. This is extraordinary,
and can only be due to rank care
iessness. Faults in historical novels
and stories are undoubtedly the
most blameworthy. II is easy to
say it is unimportant if a Baron's
daughter is called Lady Mary and
the butler makes up the fire, but
surely if a historical book is at
tempted the least We can expect
is accuracy in details. If one loves
and knows history ii is infinitely
irritating to find a glaring mex
actitude in every chapter; to note
in so-called revolutionary story
the Place de la Revolution called
the Place de la Republique; to find
that Talien was "a in 1889, 2S in
1888. and so on. when he was born
in 1863; to be told that the Carmes
was destroyed when it is standing
to-day, &C.; to read that folk were
guillotined long before that instru-
ment was invented; all these are
upsetting to the careful reader who
happens to be more or less well
read. 1t is more than surprising to

scribed how he first sojourned with

Washington, May 25.-A picture

by Secretary Davis in a statement
today, based on reports of employ
ment conditions to the department
of labor. The reports indicated
that unemployment has been "prac-
ucally eliminated" in New York
state, the secretary said; that it
has been reduced more than SO per-
cent in the last three months in
Pennsylvania, while the swan
song of business depression has
given away to a cheerful note of
improved industrial activity" in
Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Michi-
gan, Illinois, Kansas and Missouri.
There is "unmistakable evidence"
of improved industrial conditions
prevailing on the Pacific coast. Mr..
Davis said. while in the south the
reports show steady improvement
in Georgia, Tennessee. and Ala
