NOTES AND COMMENT.
Of Robert Barr, Julian Ralph says:
"Have you read Robert Barr's first
novel, called 'In the Midst of Alarms?'
I hare restored health to two invalids
with it. I prescribed it for two men
who were suffering with melancholy.that
corn's with la gripjie and guaranteed a
cure. In each case it lifted them out of
the slough of despond and put them on
their feet and back at their desks. Do
not imagine that you can get along
without it simply becauBO you are well
and strong. It is like fresh air and
sunshine as good for the rugged as for
the poor in health. I do not know ihe
real Barr. I only knew the name and the
work that haB carried that name along.
Yet I think I can describe the man
behind the name. He is, I should say,
about eight feet, or eight feet and four
inches tall, and big in proportior, that is
to say with shoulders a yard apart and a
chest a yard. deep. He has an open,
sunny face, reflecting health and high
animal spirits. Some little Irish, or
perhaps it is a little French, is in his
blood. He is muscular. A good paint
ing of him would show the fullness of
big biceps and calves right through his
sleeves and trouser'e legs, for I feel sure
he exercises a great deal, boxes a little
and walks by the hour. He has a bright
eye, a boyish enthusiasm, a ready laugh
and a keen sense of humor. Further,
he is fond of good eating and moderate
drinking and good company; and here I
discover his limitation, for I suspect him
of having known more men than women.
"But, about my catholicon for the
sick and the well, get 'In the Midst of
Alarms' and see what Barr can do in
the way cf a sustained effort. It is the
story of a newspaper reporter's vacation
in the Canadian bush. You pick it up
and begin it saying to yourself that the
opening scene in a typical hotel is very
clever, but of no consequence, and you
never lay the book of 275 pages down
until you are shocked by the last two
words, 'The End.' It is lively and
spirited and exciting, and true to many
sorts of lives and characters. It proves
that one does not need to dig in the
sewers of Paris, or the consumptive re
Borts of the continent or into the shock
ing eccentricities of heredity in order to
find material for a readable book. It
proves, too, that one who has the gift
can entertain the most astute and cun
ning minds with a literature that is fit
for the sewing room and the seminary;
that it is not an imperative demand of
the age that has brought forth the ad
vanced novels of the day."
t-t
In the Century for May tho "Life of
Napoleon" reaches the conclusion of the
first great campaign in Italy, Prof.
Sloane's narrative including the un
folding of Bonaparte's imperious spirit
the battle of Rivoli and the capitulation
of Mantua, the humilatjon of the
Papacy and of Venice, tho peace of Leo
ben, and the fall of Venice. The story
of this campaign is closely woven about
the personality of Bonaparte himself,
and the clear and rapid narrative is
supplemented by contemporary and
later artists, including portraits of the
Emperor Francis the First, the Arch
duke Charles, Alvinczy and Wurmser,
on the one hand, and of Napoleon,
Serurier and Hoche on the other, to
gether with a map of the scene of the
campaign.
t-t
' One of- the leading metapbysicians
and spiritual thinkers of our day in
America is Henry Wood, the author of
"Ideal Suggestion," "Natural Law in
the Business World," and "G id's Image
in Man." He contributes to the May
Arena a paper on "Human Evolution
and the Fall,' " and shows that, accept
ing the evolutionary doctrine as the un
derlying truth of life, tho so called
"fall" of the Bible was really the begin
ning of tho ethical consciousness in
mankind.
t-t
Much intorest will be felt by tho pub
lic in the return of Rudyard Kipling to
India. He has just agreed to furnish a
regular contribution to the Cosmopoli
tan magazine for tho coming year, be
ginning his work upon his return to
India. India has never been critically
considered by such, a pen as Kipling's,
and what he will write for tho Cosmo
jwlitan will attract the widest attention,
both here and in England.
t-t
Perhaps the most beautiful series of
pictures ever presented of the Rocky
mountains will be found in a collection of
fourteen original paintings, executed by
Thomas Moran for tho May Cosmopoli
tan. To those who have been iu the
Rockies, tho Cosmopolitan will be a
souvenir worthy of preservation. This
number contains fifty-two original draw
ings, by Thomas Moran, Oliver Herford,
Dan Beard, H. M. Eaton, F. G. Attwood,
F. O. Small. F. Lix, J. H. Dolph and
Roeina Emmitt Sherwood, besides sixty
reproductions of recent works of art,
and forty other interesting illustrations
ninety-eight in all. Though the Cos
mopolitan sells for but fifteen cents,
probably no magazine in the' world will
present for May so great a number of
illustrations especially designed for its
pages by famouB illustrators. The
fiction in this number is by F. Hopkins
Smith, Gustavo Kobbe, W. Clark
Russel, Edgar W. Nye, and T. C.
Crawford.

ROSES WET WITH FALLING DEW.
Roses wet with falling dew,
Passionately sweet,
See here my love I bring to you
And throw them at your feet.
Roses wet with falling dew,
Tears that the night has shed.
Because she had to bid adieu
To the roses warm and red.
Roses wet with falling dew
Take them love I pray
Touch with your lips their petals
do,
And kiss the tears away.
