L1TERARY NOTES. "The Academy" (of Ix>ndon) jauntlly aaya that exiravapant fun le o\it of date, "o4\lng. proh a'.'.x . to the surfelt of It which the entcrprise of Amerlea has offered." Mr. Rudynrd Klpling doea not mean to work at all durinp: hls preaent South Afrlcan trlp. He ls accomnnniod by hia father ns woll as by hla wlfe and chlldren. Hls next book of short Btorlea will not appear untll next autumn. A Ptory about Tennyscn. whlch la a llttle too perfect to be true. ls told by "The London Tele graph." It is to the effect that the poet one day entered a publie readlng-room nnd aat down ln a lnrire nnnchair before the flre. Much to the amnzin'.nt of thej other oocupants of the roOtrt, he then pneaedad to clevate his feet untll thty rested on the chimney-piece, ln the fashlon 4ve are led tn belleve is "real Amerlcan." N'o cx poertulatl ns on the part of hla friends rcspeot lrg the lnelejrance of the poaitlon were of the Bliffhteal a\uU. Suddenly a brllliant Insplratl-m seiz-d one >.f them -the father of one of our leadlnir aetOfl of to-day. Going olose to Lord Tennyoon he whlapered ln hla ear. "Take your fe.-t down or thoy'll mlstake you for Longfel 1 >w." in nn lnstant the poet'p boots were on the floor. and he assumed the ordlnary posltlon <>f nn Enplistinian. "The Saturday Revlew" says that no one who haa glren attentlon to the progress of poetry throuph more than one generatlon can fall to recogr.ize the aingulnrly ephemeral character of the maln part <.f female verse. "Kvery year or two BOme younp; woman 4vlth keen emotlons and a delic;tc turn of expresslnn comes Into brief promlnenca ns n poet. and seems to be about to assert a dellnite influer.ee. Pometlmes the popu larity cf these songstressea. thelr apparent Indl Viduality and the Interest they awnken among people Of taste. is so eonsldoral.le that every one takes fir granted that they have 'come to etuy.' " But v here, "The Saturday Revlew" B04.8 on to nsk. are the varlous danies who havo been the Bttbjecta of all thls Interest?
