The editor of Harper's Magazine, writing In the "Editor's Study" of the February number, reminds us that novel-reading two generations ago In New England waa re tarded almost aa a vice. Goldsmith's "Vicar rf Wakefield" waa then tho most popular r.ngllih novel, and Porter'a "Scottish 'Tilofs" waa occasionally allowed to be read by young people because of Its historical significance. Literary events, he says, were i'Ot often discussed with any warmth until the time of "Uncle Tora'i Cabin," wht-h. of course, precipitated Immediate excitement. na when Charlotte Brcnt's "Jane Eyre" eached New England, whole communities . vera divided on the question of its mor ality.

Vnhn has taken his cue from these In making a series of alx very telling lllus tratlons. The historical side of thla brtl tlant story Is a suggestion from soma half told Napolrorlc legend. The heroine Is a. charming, vigorous young woman, who has to nJfcke a great decision between love on the one side and power and position on the other. The dilemma Is placed before her with duty a(T the main Incentive. How he meets the situation Is the dramatic crisis of the atory.

By arrange mcnt with the author, fhls revised edition is issued as a book of literary value, aside from Its musical Interest, the text being printed by Itself. Mr. Gilbert has written an introduction, telling how "Patience" originated and waa worked out. The pre face Is characteristic of the author, in Its factiousness and facility. "The Deeps of Deliverance," by ths dls tlngulshed Dutch writer Frederick Van Eadem, la a book which tells the life his tory of Hedwlg Marga de Fonlayne. It traces the evolution of the soul of a woman with a singularly daring realism, but realism marked by a moral significance.

The Americans re siding In the Isle of Pines deny the general aasumptlon of the Cuban government that the United States has no special Interest In the Island and Is not likely to insist on the eventual ownership of it. In any event they seem confident of having the support of the United States if necessary to their resist ance to being governed and taaed by Cuban officials pending a settlements of the ques tion of ownership. The matter is expected to receive im portant consideration In connection with the location of the coaling stations and other pending questions between Cuba and the United States. Recently the American reatdents of ths island notified the alcalde of the Isle of Fines and the Cuban government of their intention to resist by force If necessary the collection of taxes or any assumption of au thority over the island by ths Cuban gov ernment. The. taxes are now falling due and every American haa pledged himself not to pay them. The Americans' contention is founded on the section of the Piatt amend ment which expressly omlta the Ulo of Pines from the boundaries of Cuba and leavea the title to it to future adjustment by treaty. 8)me 300 Americans alnce the war, have taken up their residence In the Isle and It Is estimated that 400 Americans have In When you buy soda crackers you want crispness and flavor not dampness and dust.

The government, v. hlle acknowledging tbat the matter of the ownership of the Islands is open, holds that it lias Jefacto control for the time being, at least, and therefore Is authorized to lay taxes and perform other functions.
