LITERARY NOTES.
A New Romantic Novelist.
The Century company announces the
discovery of a new romantic novelist in
a young New Yorker, Miss Bertha Run
kle, whose maiden effort is to be The
Century's leading piece of fiction for
the next eight months, beginning in the
August number. It is described as a
dramatic romance of love and adventure,
and is entitled "The Helmet of Na
varre." The scene is Paris during the
siege by Henry of Navarre, and the ac
tion occupies but four dayB of the week
preceding the Sunday when Henry
entered the city to give hia adhesion to
the Catholic church and accept its ec
clesiastical rites the occasion of his
saying that Paris was worth a mase.
The Btory is full of vigorous action, and
the plot is said to be one of fascinating
interest: Among thcr characters of the
story is the king himself, the Duke of
Mayenne, who commanded the city
during the investment, and a hero and
heroine of much attractiveness.
cian. Here are three out of five hund
red members of the house of lords.
Perhaps an ordinarily well informed
observer might be able to pick out half
a dozen more lords who might fairly be
called distinguished lor something else
than being lords, barring the new men,
who owe their titles to their achieve
ments. But that is a sorry showing for
so many holders of what my be called
perpetually endowed fellowships. From
"The Point of View," in the July Scnb-ner's.
The" English Nobility Haven't Done
Much Worth Doing.
The death of the Duke of Argyll has
brought out the falsity of the assump
tion that men of hereditary wealth can
be trusted to do the intellectual work
that does not directly pay. And this is
simply because the duke really- did'
something in that way. According to
Carlyle, the British peerage was in its
origin a kind of glorified civil service, in
which the titles were certificates of suc
cess in the most arduous competitive ex
aminations. Still, according to him,
"the merit system" broke down in its
.application to the British peerage in the
reign of Charles I. Since then a lord
has had nothing to do "as such" except
'to exist beautifully." As the lords
have all the chances of education that
England affords, and nothing to do but
what they may choose to do, what treas
ures of learned leisure and research we
ought to owe to them ! Ibe career of
the Duke of Argyll ought not to have
been aa exception in his order at all,
but simply an illustration of the rule.
And yet he was the only duke in Great
Britain who within living memory has
amounted to anything. It is true that
the Marquis of Salisbury might have
been a duke if he had not regarded his
raarquisate as a prouder title than a
new dukedom could .furnish. And
doubtless the Marquis of Salisbury
amounts to something. When he was
Lord Robert Cecil, Bagehot said to him
that he was the only member of the
British aristocracy who had shown the
capacity of earning his own living.
This he had had to do for a season, and
had done it in the character of a politi
cal writer; and there is no doubt that he
-would have made a political success if
he had been a commoner. His exist
ence is fully justified. So is that of
Lord Rosebery, as a public speaker and
.as a writer, if not yet fully as a politi-

How to Make a Worthless Cur Useful.
(From the Saturday Evening Post. J
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson says
that in Nebraska nowadays the skins of
superfluous dogs are tanned and made
into gloves a plan which affords a val
uable suggestion, inasmuch as every
large community tills off great numbers
of curs annually, the hides of which
might just as well be utilized as wasted.
Dogskin, of course, is one of the best
materials for gloves, and for this pur
pose we import hundreds of thousands
of dollars worth of canine pelts annu
ally. In Manchuria and on the border
of Mongolia, where the severe cold de
velops a beautiful growth of hair, are
found thousands of flocks of young
dogs. There is a great demand for
both dog skins and dog hair in north
ern Asia. A bride in Mongolia or Man
churia commonly receives a number of
live dogs as wedding presents.
