The Pope and Father Gondo. "Do you understand now wherein you did wrong?" "Holy Father, enlighten me as to my sin." The old pope looked up. His clear eyes looked through the veil of chance which shrouds future events and saw what was hidden behind it.

"Father Gondo," he said, "that little child with whom you fought in Diamante, the child who was merciful and wonder-working like Christ, that poor, despised child who conquered you and whom you call Antichrist, do you know

who he is?"

The monk looked up in terror. "Father Gondo," said the pope, sternly, "when you held the image in your arms you wished to burn him. Why? Why were you not loving to him? Why did you not carry him back to the little Childchrist on the Capitolium from whom he proceeded?

"That is what you wandering monks could do. You could take the great popular movement in your arms, while it is still lying like a child in its swaddling clothes, and you could bear it to Jesus' feet; and Antichrist would see that he is nothing but an imitation of Christ,

and would acknowledge him his Lord and Master. But you do not do so. You cast Antichristianity on the pyre, and soon he in his turn will cast you there."

Father Gondo bent his knee. "I understand, Holy Father. I will go and look for the image.

The pope rose majestically. "You shall not look for the image; you shall let him go his way through the ages. We do not fear him. When he comes to storm the Capitol in order to mount the throne of the world, we shall meet him, and we shall lead him to Christ. We shall make peace between earth and heaven. But you do wrong," he continued more mildly, " to hate him. You must have forgotten that the sibyl considered him one of the redeemers of the world. On the heights of the Capitol the redeemer of the world shall be worshipped, Christ or Antichrist.'"

"Holy Father, if the miseries of this world are to be remedied by him, and heaven suffers no injury, I shall not hate him."

The old pope smiled his most subtle smile. "Father Gondo, you will permit me also to tell you a Sicilian story. The story goes, Father Gondo, that when our Lord was busy creating the world, He wished one day to know if He had much more work to do. And he sent San Pietro out to see if the world was finished. "When San Pietro came back, he said: 'Every one is weeping and sobbing and lamenting.'

"Then the world is not finished,' said Our Lord, and He went on working.

"Three days later Our Lord sent San Pietro again to the earth.

"Every one is laughing and rejoicing and playing,' said San Pietro, when he came back.

"Then the world is not finished,' said Our Lord, and He went on working.

"San Pietro was despatched for the third time.

"Some are weeping and some are laughing,' he said when he came back.

"Then the world is finished,' said Our Lord. "And so shall it be and continue," said the old pope. "No one can save mankind from their sorrows, but much is forgiven to him who brings new courage to bear them." (Little, Brown & Co. $1.50.)-From Lagerlöf's “Miracles of Antichrist."

A Kind of Cotton.

Gossypium Barbadense.-The fine, long, silky fibres of commerce are all derived from this

species. It is indigenous to a group of the

West Indian Islands named the Lesser Anthe West Indies. At the present time it is cultilles. It gets its name from Barbadoes, one of tivated throughout the Southern States of North America which border on the sea, in most of the West Indian Islands, Central America, Western Africa lying between the tropics, Bourbon, Egypt, Australia, and the East Indies. There is no doubt that the plant comes to its highest and most perfect state of cultivation when it is planted near the sea. Dr. Evans says: "It may be cultivated in any region adapted to the olive and near the sea, the principal requisite being a hot and humid atmos

phere, but the results of acclimatization indicate that the humid atmosphere is not entirely species is undoubtedly grown extensively in necessary if irrigation be employed, as this Egypt." The height of this species varies from

3 to 4 feet if cultivated as an annual, and from 6 to 8 feet if allowed to grow as a perennial. When in full leaf and flower, it is a most graceful-looking plant. Yarns having the finest counts, as they are called, are all spun from sea islands, which belongs to this class. When we are told that a single pound of this cotton is often spun into a thread about 160 miles long we can see that it must be exceedingly good and strong cotton to do this. (Appleton. 40 c.) -From Wilkinson's "The Story of the Cotton Plant."

Literary Miscellany.

THE memorial of William Black takes the form of a lifeboat, named after him, and stationed in the Hebrides.

ROBERT BARR has been paid the great and unusual compliment of having a story translated into Russian. His novel, "The Mutable

Many." has been running as a serial in a Russian magazine.

GEORGE MEREDITH'S brilliant novel, The Egoist," is now in process of translation into French. It will be interesting to see what the translator will make of this fascinating, whimsical, and cynical story.

A CLASSIC TEXT-BOOK.-Zola has been improving the opportunity offered by his stay in London to learn more of English. His textbook has been a copy of "The Vicar of Wakefield" printed in French and English.

COWPER'S CENTENARY.-Cowper's centenary falls in August, and a movement is being made in Olney, under the direction of Mr. Thomas Wright, the well-known writer on Cowper, to acknowledge it adequately. The proposals range from a Cowper Museum and Library to a drinking-fountain or a statue of the poet.

BORROW'S LOST BOOK.-It is said that George Borrow once wrote a story called "The Life and Adventures of Joseph Sell, the Great Traveller." Here is a pleasant task for the man who loves to search out forgotten things. Nobody knows whether the story was printed in book or magazine, but if printed it is probably to be found somewhere.

EVERY MAN HIS OWN FAVORITE AUTHOR.If literary conditions continue in their course of recent development, says Literature, the twentieth century may end with every man writing

all the books he cares to read. But before that century commences some brave souls are daring the Fates in manner surprising. For example, it is said that Mr. Richard Le Gallienne contemplates the establishment of a magazine to be entirely written by himself, and to be called Personal Opinion.

OMAR NOT A TENTMAKER.-The tentmaking ascribed to the singing Omar disturbs the equanimity of The Scotsman. The idea that the Persian astronomer royal was a tentmaker, it says. "has now got so fairly well started down the hill of mythology that it is probably too late to stop it; but the Oriental philologers have demonstrated that, although Khayyam' means a tentmaker, it was applied to Omar as a family name only; so that it would be as absurd to argue that Sir Samuel Baker made buns, or that the late Dr. Cobham Brewer

made bitter beer, or that Sir Henry Campbell. Bannerman has really any rag of a flag to carry, as to say that Omar did in very deed make tents."

A JANE AUSTEN MEMORIAL WINDOW. It is proposed to place a window in Winchester Cathedral to the memory of Jane Austen, writes Oscar Fay Adams in the Boston Literary World, and the English committee having the affair in hand have asked me to receive such American subscriptions to the fund as may be forthcoming and forward them to the London bankers, the Messrs. Howe, 37 Fleet Street. The window, to be designed by C. E. Kempe, a wellknown English designer, will be placed in the nave or the Lady Chapel, the size and location depending upon the amount received. It is earnestly desired, however, to raise £600, which will enable the committee to place it in the Lady Chapel, the best position. About L150 have thus far been secured in England, and I have received since the first of the year about $80. Any sums sent to me at The Hermitage, Willow Street, Boston, will be acknowledged. No adequate memorial of Jane Austen's genius now exists, and if the many lovers of the Hampshire novelist will each contribute something, however small, the proposed memorial may be secured.
