This concluded tha examination of F.mlllo.
Then the oilier members ot tho family wero

V bile they were going aboard of the boat at
the Barge Oihu a woman uiisbloiuirT remarked
i to another woman who was with her that It
was peculiar that none of the Brazilian women
' wore corsets. The missionary a-.ked ono of tho
women members of the Nlcolui Junius' about
V this, She replied that the womon of Brazil
didn't know what it was in wear corsets. Then
she asked the mlulouary why the women of
this country wore them. The missionary utam
mered an unsatisfactory answer to the question,
end then the Brazilian woman tald:
I' "You women 111 the United States are ruining
I your health by tightening np your waists the
way you do. There Is very little sickness among
tbo Brazilian women who lho in the country
' districts, and 1 am satisfied that the reason u
that they do&'t use tortets. When I first saw
a woman put on a pair In this country, three
years ago, thought that the was sick or that
someofner bone u ere broken. I also thought
, that maybe her back was weak, or that she was
not a strong woman, and that she bad to tie her
self together. Then I found all of the women
in the.Uuited Slates tying themselves together,
and that muio me laugh.
"One woman explained to me that she looked
nicer in her ilru'.s when tbo woro tho- things.
I said olio did not, but that Uiu looked as if the
' would like to get tbem oil as quick us possible.
No woman I have met here or in oilier coun
tries can tell me a good reason for wcaiingtur
sets. Ono says that corsets niAe her l'ttlo
round the waist, but It also iiAu her health
little. 1 hat's what I Uilu her. Another wo
man says that tho would bo altuied to walk in
the street without coruutj. J said she should
be ashamed to be soen with them on. I think

unhealthy that her bones are about to fall opart,"

Plains rocd, is at work about bis own farm and
thinks he is a blred man. He does not recognize
tbs eilstoncc of any bond botweon himself and
bis wife, and takes orders from the men he used
to direct alu the farm work.
About tbreo weeks sgo Funger went to work
in one of hi Uelds, and disappeared. He did ppt

Funger uppcaled to the police of WeUleld end

they could get no truce of the man. The general
Impression was that Funger. in a fit of dopn-

My, Fredflriok, VC Burton baa luppllei? us with
cleverly constructed and Interesting atory In
"Tho Mission, of Pojibajov'' (Street k Smith),
Th ot course, is not a talo built striotly upon
tho prpclp)ti advocated by Mr. nowepU for the
guidance of oonsclentloui persons engaged In
tho manufacture of fiction. It is notorious that
not all conscientious persons io' engaged bnvo
been ablo to adjust thetnaelvos to the Howolla
point of view. The late Prof. Boyeaen, not.
withstanding that be chorlahed earnestly
the very bett Intentions, waa powerless, at
limes, in his own tales, to throw off thq
romantic Inoubui) and It is a curious clrcum
stanco that tomo ot the purest, most untnltl.
gated romance perpetrated by Prof, Boyeaen
should have won from Mr. Howells the liveliest
expressions of approbation. Mr. Burton does
not profess to be a reformer of the story-telling
art, and Messrs. Btresl & Smith, as we remem
ber. In their professional dealing with matters
opperuln.ng to tluiiU, have never confined
thomtelyes to publication ot tbe work of
Tolatol. tnsslsQ pollco agents, whether in
realism or romanticism wo bare not accu
rately ascertained, have long been Involved
In an aspect of great ploturcsqueness. Thoy
havo done things darkly, In cloaks and
other disguises, and If they havo not len
more ominous or more disastrously iiOImcIous
than the rat-wlfo In Ibsen's "Llltlo JSyolf," the
reason we ore pure is chargeable to the tnavl
Ublencss ot circumstance, and ' not to be as
cribed to tbo shortcomings of good Intention on
Ibepartof those who hate supplied the agents

IfallHSsIan. pollco ogontin New York ahould

he grasped perfectly the cMtrillid points of
lho generul Idea, and it is ih'U known that
seven ot them put tbemaehca In dlagulae re
cently In order to apprehend a barber at Eighth
ayeuuo and lethal rout. New York has come
to bo n very great and inlsrellaneQus community, '
and It must bo thut there are perpetually trans
acting themselves In It mysteries that Mr. How
ells, who is Ohio and Boston bred, would with
difficulty suspect and under uo conditions
tulurato. In regard to Mr. Burtou's Uus
stsn police agent, we buteu to say
that bu has commended himself to us
a both reasonable and Interesting. As
m, e remember, he does not once put himself to
the conventional trouble of assuming a dis
guise, and yet be gets on remarkably well. Just
;is curiously, his business in New York Is not to
administer the vangeanco ot the Qaar, but to do
a kindly and char! tablo dead. The ordinary
reader will Le at no pslna to discover and ap
preciate certain plain points about this story.
It is a aiory with a plot, and tbe narrative Is
conscientiously and cleverly accomplished. Mr.
Burton understands perfectly that very valuable
principle of tbe story teller' art whereby the
curiosity of the reader Is Quickly aroused, duly
malMttlncd, and Anally gratified. His police
agent Is a vigorous figure, and hi herolno en
Joys the distinction of being able to face trouble
with some other aspect than that of lachry
mose despair. She la an excellent heroine, a
good talker, and a sensible, clever person, and
we cordially congratulate Mr. Burton upon her
presence in bis book. So do we congratulate
him upon a generally capable and Interesting
storr.
In "The Strange Schemes of Randolph Ma
son," by Melville Uavisaon Post (0. P, Putnam's
Sons), wq have a aeries of stories founded upon
peculiar points of omission or Inadequacy in tbe
law. One does not readily comprehend a possi
bility of the kind, for the law seams to contain
everything, including all tbe words that there
are. It Is a saying that the law is common
sense, but Mr, Post reminds us that Lord Coko
declared that tbe law was not tha nat
ural reason of man, and that men
could not, out of .. fheir commqn reason,
make such laws aa the laws of England were.
All wrongs, the story teller adds, are not crimes,
and his tales offer to prove It, The first tale,
"The Corpus Delicti." Is not pleasaut. It is not
agreeable to read of a woman who bad tbe mis
fortune to bo objectionable to her lover, who
was murdered by bira, and who dUmembered
body was boiled in acid In a bathtub and
run out In the form of a liquid through
the 'scape pipe, Tbe preliminary incidents
of the story are crudely narrated; the loves
and quarrels of tho pair are not verisimilar
nnd are often unintentionally grotesque; but
the main point, that when tbe murderer came to
be tried there was no corput dtlicti In the case
and no witness of the crime, and that, although
the circumstantial evidence against tbe mur
derer was overwhelming, tha Judge was obliged
to direct his discharge under tbo explicit pro-
lalon of the law ot this State, Is full of curious
interest and Is very strikingly But forth. "Two
I Plungers ot Manhattan," anothor of these
tales, locks the shock as well as the crudity
of the first. It is founded not n tragedy,
but In humor, and explain very interest
ingly bow n man, having sold his valu
able boqse, receiving tberefor a small sum
of money and taking a mortgage upon tbe
property for the remainder of the purchase
price, may eat his heart out watching tho pur
chaser destroy the value of tho bouse by turning
it into a stable, and, in tho absence of anybody
cnipQwored to Issue an injunction, be quite pow
erless to protect himself against the iniquity.
In ''Woodford's Partner," again, we have
a well-told tale founded upon that proposition
of tho law which has It that the taking
of partnership fund by one of tbe genersl part
ners, even with felonious intent, constitutes no
crime; and so tbo storios run. The person of (he
title, llandolph Mason, 1 a character familiar
with all these potentially pofarlou balk and
permission of tbu law and ready to enable bis
clients to take advantage of hem. There Is no
doqbt that be ought to bo bastinadoed, pot to
say boiled in oil, but ft cry reader will admit
that he Is a wonderfully clever man.
In the preface to "His Excellency" (Mocmll
lan), the authorized English version of Hon ex
cellence Engine Jtougnn. Mr. Ernest VIzetelly,
while discussing the book In tlio friendliest
spirit, gives a frank exposition and a defence of
ftoino of M. Zola's literary methods. Tbe
volume, which Is ono of tbo earlier of tbe
Itougon-Macquart series, on its first ap
pearance was sevorely criticised both in
Franco and England, M. Zola being charged
with plagiarism and with having relied on much
mere back-stair gosal p in the pi oparutlon of this
etory of tbe court end political life of tbe Second
Em phc. Mr, Andrew Lung, In particular, based
an attack upou tbe fae that thp author had
drawn largely upon tbe notorious Conjldencrr
rf'iiii Valet dc Chambrt. In presenting
tbe book in Its English form, Mr, VIze
telly boldly meets these charge wtb tho
simple statement that M, ZoU, like Alpllbre,
prtnd sou Uitn ou it It trouvc, and further
mske this sweeping assert Ion:
"If is not upon power of Imagination that he
particularly prides himself though imagination,
and thut of a high order, i undoubtedly a fea
ture of hi genius bo claims rank chiefly by
reou of bis power of delineation, hi power of
analysing, Mcnuing, end grouping fact and
cktmrierUl Us. In one word, he Is a Iteallat.
And If bu la to describe people as thoy bate
llvol. Incidents ub they have really occurred,
how ran he do otherwise than turn to tbe records
of ouua! experience, to lb unchallenged de
scription of historical epltoritsf Plagiarism
foraootbl When every situation, over) di
lemma, every experience, every character
istic and every motion thr.t can enter
into the history of tb human race have
been dealt with, timo without number, br thou
laud of writers of Actum, cither in tho form
of tbo novel or tbe drama! How, then, is it pos
sible for anybody, however great hi genius, to
lie absolutely and perfectly original I Such
en Igiunllty Is dead. Let u bow to It gravj w
shnll never see It more. The only genius In
literature wblrh can remain to the writer ot
to-day and to-morrow U that genius which may
Ho In thu handling ot one's materials."
A to Le VanfidtMtt d'un Valet de
Chambrt, Mr, VIziel)y assert Ihst the
book wm really written by Journalist who
-T l,"l.V T "I m, V I M l ITTTTai-l ; "

Tbeophllo Gautler,0 court chronicler to re

to the many scandalous stories that circulated
In tho Parisian wine hop and oafs. Tbe book
alioply chronicled tho day1 doing, gavedescrlp
tionsof tha ration room at the chatoau, and
accounts of certain court customs. Hence, say
Mr, VUetellr, "aobody desirous ot describing
Ufo In Imperial plycle at second hand could do
without till little volume, and It I only natural
tbat M. Zola should have contulted It."

"The People for Wnom Shakespeare Wrote"
(Harpers) Is tbe tltlo of a volume ni.ido up of
fopr short caaya by Mr. Cbarlea Dudley War
ner. Believing that a full lympnthetlcenjoymcnt
of Shakcapeare'a plays is only po&slblo to thnto
who can, in omo measure, recreate tor them
selves the atmosphere in which they were writ
ten, Mr. Warner, by drawing upon tbe accumu
lated stores left to us by a number of contempo
rary chroniclers and trn vellera,endeavors to gl ve
the reader an accurate idea of tho ago In which
the poet lived, tbe manners and custom of bis
countrymen, and all such traite and rx.call.irl
tlee as throw any light upon tho plays themselves.
From William Harrison' " Description of Eng
land," written for Ilolinshcd's Chronicle, and
of which on edition li publUhed by tbe New
Shakespeare Boclety, Mr, Warner make copious
extracts. This quaint pld chronicler, the rector
of an Essex prib, has left amice of Informa
tion for all students ot tbe sixteenth century
In these pages wherein be notes the vices and
follies of bis age and gravely moralizes on the
prevalence of usury, tbe increase of idloncss
and extravagance, and tbe inordinate gluttony
of hi fellow countrymen. For this latter trait
he has, however, a scientific and original exouse
and explanation. "Tbe situation of our regiou,"
lie sas, "lying near unto the north, does
causo the hest of our stomachs to bo of some
what greater force; therefore our bodies
do crave a little more ample nourishment than
the inhabitants of tbe better regions are accus
tomed withal, whoso digestive force la not alto
gether so vehement, because their Internal heat
is not so strong as ours, which is kept in by the
coldness ot the air, that from lime to time (spe
cially in winter) doth environ our bodies."
We even than tbe English are the Scotch,
who, according to this observer, exceed the
former in "overmuch and dlstemperate gor
mandize." While on the tables ot the nobili
ty, "whose cooks for tha most part are
musical-headed Frenchmen and foreigners,"
are st esxb day for dinner dishes of
beef, mutton, veal. Iamb, kid, pork, cosies, ca
pon, and pig, besides dcr wild fowl, and fish.
and sundry delicacies "wherein the sweet hand
of the seafaring Portlngale is not wanting."
Then, too, u these glorious days, two hundred
gallons of beer could be brewed at a total costof
twonty shillings! Another source to which 11 r.
Warner bos gone is " Tho Anatomle of Abuses"
UB83), by Philip Btubbes, a stout old
Puritan and most notorious woman hater.
The starched ruff, the stomacher, the kerchief
and tho hat stuck full of feathers are In his eyes,
butsominy "ensign of yonlty" and "flutter
ing sails and feat bored flags of defiance to vir
tue," Koaegays and posies of flowers are only
carried by tbe deceitful fair ones In order that
the odor and fumes may enter the brain lo de
generate the spirit and allure to vice; while, aa
for their carrying ot looking glasses, "good
reason," says he, "for else how could thoy see I
tho .devil In themt For no doubt thoy j
aro devil's apectacle (lheo women) to allure us I
to pride and consequently to destruction for-
ever." Quite different are the vlows of tho j
grave and learned Erasmus, who has somo I
quaint observations on a curious custom, now,
unhappily, fallen somewhat Into disrepute
After describing the reception of the stranger at
tbe threshold of an English house by "gfrls
with angel faces" who arc "so kind and
obliging." bo a: "Whenever you come
you or received with a kiss by all.
When you Lake your departure you are dis
missed with kisses. You return, kisses are
repeated. Should they meet you an)
where, kisses In abundance. In a word,
wherever you more there le nothing but
kisses." A custom, obscirrs tbe kindly old
gentleman, "nptcrto be sufficiently commend
ed." The volume, which 1 full of Interesting
matter carefully collected by Mr. Warner
from many different sources, torus a pleasant
little plctliro pf tbe Elizabethan age, and, to
those readers who lack tlmo or Inclination to
study tbo history of tl.o time tuoru fully, 11
should give a knowledge that will enable
tbem better to understand and appreciate many
things In Shakespeare.
Tho prefatory note to Mrs. Ella Hlgglneon's
volume ot ebprt stories, " From tbe Land of the l
Snow Pearls " (Macm)llniis), is unintentionally
somewhat misleading. "Pugct Sound lies in its
emerald Betting like a great blue eapphlrs,
w blch at sunset draws to it breast all tbo mar
vellous and splouJid colorirur of the Uro-opul.
Around It, shining through their rose-colorsd
mitts like pearls upon tbu soft blue or green
of tbe sky, are linked the great snow
mountains, so beautiful and so dear that
