Th'-re are no d-firdtions of synecdoche or piraleipsis, nor any of tho thir.ss that lent fjinwu to Karnes and other venerable au'hori-tiod on the King's English. Instead, we have 4 plain presentation of prnviptea, illustrated with examples ma ly of which are ciri'vn from recent lit -rature Van lhbbea and Emmy Lou march! in company with the "Sublime and Denutiful" Purke. The arrangement of the book iss logical, it is exhaustive and ami it seems to be in every way a modal textbook for high schools and academics, or a guide for anyone who covsis a good style. Charles Scribner's Shi are the publishers. Henry William Eison's "School His Lory ot the Fnited States" is based upon his larger "History," but cannt be called a condensation of It.

As that vvoik was the best and most comprehensive mule-volume history of the Lrnited Sta'as published, so this book for grammar school? merits an honorable place in lieil wheie it has many rivals. It will dispute the first place in favor with uch school histories as Fiske'3 and Eogleston's. The maps and ill'istratiors are The Macmillan Company are the publishers. "Elocution, Its First Principles," by V. II.

P-reare, published by G. P.

hIso published by the Amrriean Book Company, seems to serve no very vital purpose. The preface says that it "abounds in verbs." and that tiie pictures show "lively action." This hardly seems to be sufficient excuse for multiplying-text-books. LITERARY NEW'S AND NOTES. In the biographical and critical study of Alphonse Daudet, by Robert Ha Thorough Fherard, which is being published by John Iinne Company, is found the following description of the novelist's methods of working, as they were related by himself to the writer: "I write slowly, very slowly, and revise and revise. I am never satisfied with my work.

My novels I always write myself. I never could dictata a novel. As to my plays, I used formerly to dictate them. I had a certain talt-nt in my legs, just os Napoleon bad a certain genius in the leg-s of his soldiers. My books go through many processes.

To begin with I 11 my note books. Each note as it is u3od is scratched out in blue or red pencil. From these written notes and the tablets of my memory the deltoi of my memory I write out in copybooks the first copy of my novel. I write the first copy nn alternate pages of my copybooks and leave the opposite sheet blank. When the book is finished in its rough state I rewrite it page by prce on the blank sheets.

Trie pape on the right is tiie amended copy of the page on the left. Then my wife looks at second copy'aad suests to me what improvements might be I note these down. Then rewrite the whole, book again with toe joy of a school boy who feeis that a wearisome, task is ended. Sometimes I work for IS hours a day. and day after day.

At other times I pass months without touching a pan." An rmusing remlnisecnct of Kipling's experience in San Francisco, about -0 years ago, has been resurrected and retold. Kipling was not burdened with either money or fa me, and applied for a post on the staff of a daily. Tiie editor, happening to be short of men, gave him a chance and sent him off to write a big mercantile failure. Kipling did the work In his own peculiar style, lie made no reference at a.11 to assets and liabilities, Tn fact, there wasn't a figure in tht article. But there was a striking pen-picture of the bankrupt, who was described as "an oleaginous rascal, fit for the prison cell." When tho editor read tiie copy he nearly had a fit.

"Hi, you man with spectacles!" he roared. "Whoever tcld you you was a journalist must have been joking. Go and try shoemaking Ernst Haeckel's Riddle of the Universe" has recently been translated into Japanese, Chinese end Hebrew. At djf-fc-rtnt times the volume has appeared in 11 other languages, while more than copies of the German original have been sold. The Harpers, who publish Prof.

Hat ckeVs books in this country, report that the volume is in constant demand, numerous editions having been printed, the. latent about a month ago. In addressing an English scientific society not long ago, Prof. Haeckcl said th.tt in the six years since "The Riddle of the Universe" was published he had received over 6 000 letters from theologians and controversialists all over tht world coa-cernins it. Arthur Benson's new biography of Walter Pater, just published by the Maonill-lan company, teiis us that Pater hid a sense of humor.

He enjoyed Gilbert ami Sullivan's operas and he was convulsed with cverwhelo.irg laughter when he riaw rinrc-'8. "Magistrate." He was a good mimic end was skillful in Imitating Mark pAtt'son's speech and peevish intonation. This was best exemplified in the imaginary dialogue which Pater to render, supposed to take between Pat-tison and a burglar who had invaded the house. "I a poor, eld man. Look at me.

Mr. Nicholson's rich gift of alliteration also is used so subtly that It seems never ostensible.

Without the sometimes obtrusive schol-arsh'p of tin 1 without the sometimes clojtpg- mellifluousness of Longfellow, Mr. Meredith's verpo often reminds one of both these poets, by its dignity, ethical vigor, lyric lilt and definite Imas-erj.

Clean. swet sentiment and happy humor run through them ail; ns one reads them one gets the idea that this world is a pretty fjood place to live in and mankind a decent sort of folk. To.m the stories are ail so so true to life in their domestic atmosphere. When Mrs. Laurence asks, "Did you order the 'coal for the furnace yesterday?" every masculine reader gives a guilty start.

When Mildred Thatcher "gnes forth one morning on the spur of the moment Rnd incontinently buys a rubber plant," many a woman will look at the name again to mak sure it wns Mildred. Tiie tone of the stories is unexceptionable, and they have literary quality enough to please anybody but the memiv rs of a Browning club. GARRULITY AT THIRTEEN. Bb and the Guide. By Tdnry Ra-'mond Shipman Andrews.

New Yo.K: Pcrlht.er's Pittsburgh: J. R. Wel-d'n Co. pases, Illustrated. Price, $1.50.

Loquacity aid precocity are douhfful virtues at best, and when they are stretched over a book one is apt to be "aweary, aweary," like Mariana in the moated grar.sre. Bob is an air.ushi? little cuss, as his brother Walter would say a sort of juvende edition of Ade's Fables and Mrs. Malaprop but when his m.tfrpie volubility and his unintermittent cachin-natlon get upon th- reader's nerves, the reader will wisii there was a society for the suppression cf youthful nuisances. Hob is 13. which is an unlucky aje; knows everything, which is unlucky at any age; and other unfortunate circumstances enter into the ominous combination.

One story of Bob's is enjoyable, two are endurable, three are a bore, and four "enough, no more:" SENTIMENT AND DIALECT. Where Speech Knd. By BeOert Hsven 8' hatitTier. New York: Moffit. Yard Co.

Where speech ends this sort of gibberish begins: "De Leedle Mci-r nurses main wife." and "You hafe your toot record of years sbollt." Tids is a spicimen of the small-talk in a symphony-orchestra wherehe hero pla ys the violin and the heroine picks the harp when she is noi writing- poetry to recite in cabs. In brief, it is a musical novel a bit of sentimtiilalism in the vein of "The First Violin," rendered in a bursehikos bohem-ian key. The author has gifto, but bGth his humor and sentiment art- crudu and "prentice work, while his style is provincial, in Matthew Arnold's phrase. Nevertheless, there is unmistakable promise in the book, if it is an overture by a young- performer. He needs to let up on the Vox Hurnana stop nrjd play his scherzos less boisterously and distinguish bei ween pure melody and pyrotechnics.

Boston: John W. Luce Co. 73 pugtra. 75 certs. To rf ad of Stevenson, one of the sunniest and bravest 'of souls, is always an inspiration.

He himself used to adv.se people to read Scott frequently, not only the Wai erley Novels, but als'j the life; and much the same counsel might be advantageously given to men of our day, with respect to "His face kindled and flushed with pleasure hen he heard of a doughty deed, a spice cf wit, or some tale to his liking." Such a spirit is as medicine ana food in age of lonfibeaded calculation arid puiiapr Eve Blantyre Simpson little book is a flashlight biography, a nutshell nipreciaiioM, containing nothhig new for the Stevensonian, yet sure to ba relis'aed by him as it will be by the one who does not know L. S. as yet. There are such unhappy wights. AN ATAVISTIC HERO.
