0 TITU OMATTA DANA REE: WEDNESDAY, AriUL 3, 100.-. CURRENT LITERATURE. rti the novelette which opens the April Smlirt Bet Grace MacGowsn Cooke has struck sn entirely new note In fiction. It Is a, story of the west, so saturated with the atmosphere of that part of our country and to photographic of ita depletion of ranch life that it will take high rank among ths best tales of that class; yet it is more as a chnracter study that "The Red Headed Woman" will win praise. The heroine Is the -rnort original, the most human, the mont refreshing woman who for a long time has stepped from ft printed page. There Is no reader who will not be fasci nated by her vagnrles and Interested in her remarkable career. In the May Delineator some of the choicest of the season's dress productions ore represented, and numerous articles. storlrs, poenm and pictures complete a magazine that Is of much Interest to women. Albert MkpIow Palne's serial story, "The Lucky riece," grows upon the reader with the second Installment and promises most Interesting developments. There are also short stories by Bewell Ford and Seu mas McManus, the latter a story of Irish life" In the author's Inimitable vein. For collectors N. Hudson Mooro writes con cerning old chairs. Dr. W. R. C. Latson contributes an interesting article on "Housework as Recreation," Illustrating the proper and healthful methods of per formlpg household duties, and the question of bathing Is discussed In the series "The Rights of the Child." "A ruet in Brit tany", Is an enjoyable travel sketch, by W. W. Newton. In addition, there axe enter taining stories and pastimes for young folks, and the domestic arrangements are. given Importance in a number of articles. McCJure-rhllllps have added to their spring list a book of dramatic sketches dealing wltb the personal and human side of the Russo-Japanese war. It bears the title. "The Yellow War," and the author oc cupies a prominent enough position to be forced to conceal his Identity under the anonymous signature "O." "The Btory of the Other Wise Man," by Dr. Henry Van Dyke, has always been one of the most popular little books ever writ ten. As might be expected, a very great number of copies are sold for Christmas gifts, but the Harpers say that the Easter sales are nearly as large. This year. In order to meet the demand, a special edi tion has been prepared, in size an oblong lBmo, and attractively bound In white and gold. Captain John S. Wine, the author of "The Lion's Skin," served with distinction in the confederate army. His father, Hon. Henry A. Wise, left the governor's chair to com mand a division under Lee. Captain Wise had the distinction of being named by Lee to convey the news of the Appomatox sur render to General Joseph Johnston. "The Lion's Skin," by the way, Is largely auto biographic. Published by Doubledav, Page & Co. "The expert In gardening will be Inter ested and gain many useful hints and the novice will be well equipped with this book In hand," says the Watchman of Boston In reviewing Mrs. Alfred Ely's "Another Hardy Garden Book," published by the Macmillans. "If you have a garden you will want to read this delightful book and If you haven't a garden you ought to read it to see how much pleasure you may easily add to your' life." An engraving made from the oil paint ing of the Mayflower by he marine artist, Marshall Johnson of Boston, from the cele brated model of the vessel made by the late Captain J. W. Collins of Boston, by order of the United States government and now on exhibition at the National miiHeum, Washington, D. C, has Just been published by John A. Lowell A Co. of Boston. It is handsomely and artistically printed and specially adapted for framing. Coincident with the appearance of Prof. George Edward "Woodberry's article on Cervantes In McClure's comes a cable from Madrid telling of the burning of the duke of Medina's house at Argamasllla, 'in which Cervantes wrote "Don Quixote." Everything conspires to help the press agent. It Is fair to add that the Are, ac cording to the dispatch, Is attributed in Madrid to the cigarette of an attic lodger. The International Quarterly for April contains a striking essay by Maurice Maet erlinck, In which the forces at play on a modern battlefield are analyzed In a pe culiarly suggestive way under the title of "The Gods of War." New Shakespeareans for April is almost entirely jlevoted to discussions of the four recently discovered signatures of Shakes peare, of which fac slmllles are given, as well as fae slmllles of all the previously known signatures, making a very Inter esting and valuable plctoral nuinbar.
