Fiction.
The usual fall Hood of books is pouring
from the press of the publishers in a perfect
torrent these days. It comes In all sorts of
seductive bindings and covers a wide rongo
of subjects , As usunl , fiction is far in the
lead , the American publishers having
learned , apparently , that nt least ono hun
dred readers want to bo entertained whore
ono desires to-bo Instructed.
It would bo dllllcult to mention two hand
somer booVs than the bound volumes of the
"Century Magazine" nnd "St. Nicholas , "
and It would bo Impossible to mention books
that contain moro profuse and beautiful
Illustrations , or a wider range of literature ,
both solid and entertaining. Indeed , the
thought occurs , on turning these attractive
pages , that it is only in the bound form that
Iho reaper really appreciates what our
authors , ailists and publishers have accom
plished under tbo guidance of the talented
editors of the great magazines of this ago.
And It also strikes the reader that the
magarlnes In this substantial form are
ivortli much more than in the moro popular
monthly Instalments. The diffcronco between
the periodical nnd tbo book is the difference
of thoophomc'ralamlthci permanent between
tbo magazine in which one scans the pictures
and then tosses asldo , half-read , and the sub
stantial book , which passes from tbo library
tabloto the shelves , and there remains , a
thing of beauty and a ] oy forever. The bound
volumes present the further advantage of
enabling the reader to go through the serials
from beginning to end without Interruption ,
and of iloiiiR the same with series of papers
en travels , social topics and the like , viewed
from nny standpoint , a magazine llko
"Tho Century" Is a delightful possession
whi'n It , comes In this" shape , nnd tbo unlquo
beauty of the binding greatly enhances It.
The present volunio covers the half year
from May to October , 185K ) . Among its ser
ial features are tbo novels by Amelia E. Barr
and Mrs. Burton Harrison , respectively ,
"Friend Olivia" and "Tho Anglomaniacs. "
Other continued napers are Joseph JcHer-
son's autobiography , " Amelia Gere Mason's
"Women of the French Suloas , " Jules La
Fargo's "Artist's Letters Prom Gapan"
and \V. J. Stlllman's "Italian Old Masters. "
Among the lareo number of short stories

and other ) , i'hcro nro poems hy T. B. Aid-
rich , H. If. Stodaard , Walt Whitman ana
many lesser lights , and n number or enter
taining biographical papers. The volume is
especially rich in practical papers on scien
tific and social topics. Taken altogether , tbo
bound-volume of The Century is a liberal
education.

Another of Tolstoi's odd books how rap
Idly they have dropped from the press since
ho hccaino the fusluon Is ' "Worl
While Yo Have the Light. " It is
a study of tlio llfo of a young
man who lived 100 years aftorCnrist and whn
'turned nwny from Christianity in order to
find happiness in the sordid pleasures am
ambitions of the world. The end of it al
was the inevitable domestic infelicity which
always accompanies the Tolstoi novel , bitter
ness , disappointment , and then ilnal huppl
ness In thu Christian vine-yard where all mon

The courts of Cyprus are afflicted by n lin
guistic chaos , compared with which the poly
glot proceedings of Now York police courts
are blinplicity itself , snys the Now York Sun.
A Christian and a Turk recently appeared be
fore u criminal court to settle a dispute about
ngoat. The presiding Justice was an Eng
lishman , ono associate n ChrUtlan , the otiicr
n Mussulman , the secretary nn Anglicized
Frenchman. The Interpreter was an Armen-
cju. The Christian complainant accused the
Turkish prisoner of having stolen his goat , or
kudulln. as the Cyprians say. In laying the
complaint beioro the court the Armenian in *
tcrpreter confused Kudelln with Kopella and
thus gave the idea that the case concerned
the abduction of a young girl.
"I have had her for three yours nnd got her
originally from Hadshi Dimitrl , " explained
the complainant.
The presiding Justice at once put in Eng
lish the vital question of most Cyprian dis
putes :
"Was any effort made to change the relig
ion of the vlctlml"
"Whoso religion 1" asked the Christian , in
astonishment. "Kudollns have no religion , "
The question , however , got lost 611 its way
to the justice through the interpreter , and
the case went on.
The prisoner's lawyer , u Frenchman , In
quired of u witness :
"In whose possession was she originally ) "
The Armenian Interpreter translated :
"Who wcro her parents ( "
Witness Judging by her physiognomy , I
should say she came from the place of Hud-
slil Dimitri.
Interpreter Her father is Hadshi DImltri.
Presiding Justice Let the young creature
bo brought into the court room and I will
jndgo for mjbulf.
Tbo Turkish prisoner objected that the
"young creature" could not climb the steps
of the court house. The presiding Justice
rebuked this apparent subterfuge and sent
out two court olllcors to carry her up the
stops , if necessary. In o few minutes there
was a clatter of small hoofs in the corridor ,
and tbo doors opened to ndmlt a llttlo blnclc
nnd white gout , which nt once unraveled the
all but tnoxtricnblo mystery of Kudclla and
Kopella.
