""HTS LITERARY Notes on the New Books, Information for Readers on Late Publications. T of the must important books Issued the past year by diaries Sorlbner's Sons, New York, arc Eliza Pinckncy and Mercy Warren, in their series of "Women of tlio Colonial and Revolutionary Times." The first named Is by Harriott Horry Ravenll, whose father's sister preserved from the flames a collection of the original letters of Mrs. Plnckney, and these form the most charming portions of the narrative. The author has forti fied herself -with careful examination of contemporary documents and gives us un interesting picture of the life and times in which her heroine lived and moved. The norripanlon volume on Mercy OMs Warren is from the pn of Alice Brown, a writer who has also delved deeply und faithfully and successfully at the roots of the tree of knowledge of our distinguished national ancestry. She has ransacked the annals of old Plymouth and Dedliam and the result Is-a most readable panoramic reylew of the revolutionary period. Mb'-cv Warren was a woman of some literary and poetical talents and her writings are full of admirably drawn sketches of the public men of her generation. These books are ind sponsible to a vcll-9electcd family or public library. They irive us In photographic detail pictures of the times, m-inners and morals of the founders of this nation. Doily Madison, Margret Winthrop and Martha Washington are the rest of the series. "America and the Americans, from a French P.ilnt of View'1 is the most readablo book of its kind of the year. It is written from the standpoint of a French gentleman, who has a position in his own country and hence has no temptation to seek his fortune here as an immigrant or to (latter the Ameri can people In the Interest of royalties on sales of his book. He has letters of introduction to public men and en trance to the best private families and the highest social circles. He takes time to ylsit out cities and to tay In thecountry and visit our in stitutions and places of public resort. The nptes he takes were not origin ally Intended for publication and lie has only been persuaded to publish on condition that his name be not known, He has thusglven us as frank and readable a picturing In print as any people would like to see of them selves. The volume is an excellent counterpart of Max O'Rell's book on America, but has a richer flavor as a work of critical analysis. Charles Scribner's Sons, of New York, have (published this yolume with a poster binding, wide margins and annota tions that make it a delight to have nnd read. In its May number the Atlantic Monthly will contain two instructive articles on life In rural "New England and the problems presented by the rush of the population to great cities. One of these articles Is a study of a remote village which has not been reached by modern methods of life. The native characteristics, which were not very long ago shared by a large part of the rural population of New England, now seem so remote as almost to be regarded as curiosities. This sympathetic sketch shows the life of the village in all its phases. Tho other study Is of a farming town which has indeed kept somewhat apace with modern progress, but still retains the features of tho old rural life. Its accurate and faithful pict ures of these country towns now seem almost like descriptions of another civilization, so far removed are they from the characteristic modern bus tle of city life. All the important problems which have risen In the recent shifting of population and changes of Industry are Illustrated in these sketches, the drifting away from the old religious faiths, the loss of leadership to a certain extent, the decline of local patriotism from its old fervor. Yet there are many at tractive features of this life the leisure that the people have, their good nature, the companionship and the old-fashioned neighborly qualities ' which they retain. I The recent Rrowth and Increase of societies In which eligibility to mem bership depends upon the deeds of an-' cestors, has resulted in a great re vival of the study of genealogy In this country. We have the Sons and the Daughters of the Revolution, the Society of Colonel Wars, Society of the War 18)2, Colonial Dames.SocIety of the Mayflower Decendants, Hol land Society and others, organized and organizing. To become a mem ber of any of these, a record of the family history Is required. It is an injustice to characterize this movement as merely a society, fad or passing fancy. It revives an Interest In American history, and promotes patriotism, good citizen mlp I and love or country. Therefore, the movement Is uiic to be commended. ' ant thousands- are now making a study or their family history. In fact, every person should compile and preserve sui-li a family record, for it may be of grcnt vuliu to future gmer rftlons, If not to themselves. Fo enost aiLong j uina'sto aid n extending this Inttrc. ting study Is TheN. Y. Mall and Express, which maintains a weekly department de voted to queries for fituily records and replies thereto. The department Is open to any one who wishes to make use of It. In this connection that paper is printing a long scries of articles devoted to the history of the families and descendants of tl c S'gn ers of the Mayflower Compact, which arc particularly timely just nt pres ent. Messrs. Dodd, Mead and Company have Just published a California story by Beatrice Harraden, entitled Hilda Stafford, In a beautiful little volume with illustrations. The frontispiece is a portraitof Miss Harraden repro duced from a photograph taken In California. Miss Harraden Isat pres ent residing at Bournemouth, In Eng land, but hopes to be able ycry soon to return to California. She Is much grieved at the necessity of postponing the writing of her long novel, which was expected to appear last autumn. She writes: "I have been obliged to put away my work from absolute ne cessity, and not from wilfulness or laziness or want of something to say. As a matter of fact, I never had more to say In my life than now, but every effort I make to finish that novel puts me further away from it, so 1 just have to wait until I can gather up a little strength of body and brain. It was three quarters done when I broke down over It." These who have seen the chapters already written speak of it In the very highest terms, and place It much above Miss Harraden's pre vious work. r Messrs. Dodd, Mead and Company have also secured the Amer ican rights of a book of child'sChrlst mas stories which Miss Harraden Is projecting. The Bookman says: James Lane Allen has finished his new novel, The Choir Invisible, and It Is now In press. It Is the most rapid piece of writing that Mr. Allen has done, being more than twice as long as any of his other books' and written from beginning to end In some six months. The pre mature announcements of the dates of publication resulted from a mis understanding as to tho time when "it would be ready. We understand, that the first edition, which will be pub lished in a few days, will consist of ten thousand copies. If you dye with "Perfection" Dyes, goods will not fade. 28-1 w A remarkable accident happened to J. P.Irvine, in McMinnvllle, on Mon day. He was working in the wood shed at his home, being at the time pounding with a hatchet upon the floor. A bottle containing a quart of gasoline, standing upon tho shelf of a cupboard close by, was dislodged by the jarring and came down with a crash right in tho place where he was working. The concussion igni ted. the fluid, which Hashed up sud denly, almost filling the room with flames. Fortunately none of the gasoline got on his clothes, and ho es caped other injury than his eyebrows, whiskers and hair were pretty well singed. During the uext to or three minutes great activity was required to subdue the flames and preyent des tructive conflagration. When love knocks at a wo man's heart he usually comes in disguise. Doesn't want it known what he's up to. If she knew all about the little rascal, would 6he let him in? That's a question. "Women are apt to look upon love and marriage as purely a matter of sentiment and af. fection. That is pretty nearly right: yet there is a practical side to it too : and the best way to preserve iu wv -: " marriage and maternity is not i r Y, rtmrtieal t)art Of - :- a TOnmati cannot be atnor lO IUIgCk U". j.. .-- J---- it-.
