A New Novelist.
Up to the present George du Maurier
might have been called an artist-au-
thor. Since the publication of his last
story, “Trilby,” however, ho is better
called author-artist. High as was his
distinction previously as an artist, he
will undoubtedly henceforth be better
known as a novel writer. Attention was
at once drawn to him when two years
ago his first story. “Peter Ibbetson."
appeared as a modest magazine serial.
Those who were familiar with his ad.
mirablo society satires in the form of
pictures in the periodicals doubted
whether a man could at once he a suc-
cessful artist and a novelist. But “Pe-
ter Ibbetson" had a quality so fresh, so
magnetic and altogether pleasurable that
the question answered itself. Here was
a new vein of fiction that seemed prom-
ising. The story of “’I‘rilby" makes tho
reader wish Du Maurier had begun to
y-‘ write novels in the first place instead of
\lpending two-thirds of his life in male
ingcomic illustrations for the picture
papers
The strange part of it is that this
Englishman, who is half French, tiid
not take up authorship till he was 57
years old. "Peter Ibbctson" was tho
first thing he ever wrotc, and it was an
immediate success. It disproves the old
dictum that men cannot take up ncw
occupations successfully after their
youth is gone. There is no instance on
record, however, whom an individual
began story writing so late in life as Du
Mauricr has done and succccdcd in it.
George I‘Iliot was only Iii) whcn sho bc-
gnn- novcl writing. With Du Mauricr‘s
example bcforo us, we know for certain
that it is never too lato to do wvll.
“Trilby” is a greater novcl than “l’v—
tor Ibbetson. "
Thackeray is tho only one of the great
novelists gone before who could illus-
trate his own stories. Du Mnurier ro-
semblcs Thackeray in his style more
than any other who has appeared. Thrno
features especially impress the delighted
leader in tho Du Maurior novels. ()no
is film finc, kccn handling of psycholog~
icai topics. Another is the cloanncss of
his characters. livcn thoso who liavo
been through muddy pianos in the road
have no soil clinging to them. But best
of all is the exquisite: su'cctnoas and
lovabloncss of his horocs and heroines.
Even his slrongcst, manlicst mun arc
as loving and lovuldo as a little child.

: SOUTH NORWALK EVENING SENTINEL. FRIDAY. AUGUST 10. 1894.
"Pub' ”00..”
Professor Edward S. Morse writes to
The Popular Science Monthly justly com-
plaining of the way in which our gov-
ernment publications at Washington
are distributcd. 0! each of these, 1,900
copies are imxed. "From this edition
50 foreign governments and the larger
libraries and institutions are each sup-
posed to receive a copy. " What he-
comes of the rest Professor Morse tells
us as followa: "It would be paralleled
by the pension bureau issuing a certain
number of checks to congressmen and
senators to scatter where they pleased
or to realize on them if they were so in-
clined. In the rural regions the public
documents are used as scrapbooks by
the children, and there is scarcely an
attic in the land that does not contain
a few. "
Yet, if congressmen‘s constituents
only know it, these publications, heavy
as they are, are in some instances worth
almost their weight in gold. The books
issued by the bureau of animal indus—
try may be mentioned especially nscon-
taining information that would be price-
less to farmers and live stock breeders.
Yet only the fewest of these ever set
eyes on the reports of the government
agricultural department. The reason is
found in faulty distribution. Congress-
men dump the things into their waste-
baskots or send them to the junkshops
very often instead of taking pains to
distribute them among those of their
constituents whom they will bcnciit.
Professor Morse says be rescued latcly
on their way to destruction sovcral shelf -
fuls of public documents from an edi-
tor’s rooms. lie distributed thcm where
they would do good. A gentleman who
had been making an especial study of
seal fisheries was so grateful for one
book that he learned its contents at once
and then gave it to the librarians of
Harvard college, who were as glad to
get it as he had been.
No pains or expense has been spared
to make these publications perfect of
their kind. 'I‘hcy contain information
in all the departments with which they
deal that is needed by many. The truth
is that a list of the government publi-
cations ought to be printed monthly or
quarterly, at least, by all the lcading
newspapers of the land, with informa-
tion as to how each person may secure
such documents as he wants. The gov-
ernment issues a bulletin of its publica-
tions occasionally. but nobody pays
much attcntion to it. The trouble is
that tho pcoplo do not understand how
valuable tho documcnts arc.
Zungwill. the Jewish llol’t‘lls‘l, proph-
esies that America will be thc chief coun-
try of the .lows. “Amid the tcmplcs of
the new \vorld Judaism will make its
last strugglc to survi\'c."lic says, and
he is sure it will whip. What. will be—
come of this hapless United States any-
how? ‘ ()uc prophet forcsccs that we are
going to be captured by the Chincsc and
honest American labor will be rooted
out. Another, whosc grandparents
crossed in the stccrago and had an “O"
in front of their name, is cxcrcised in
his mind for fcar the irish foreigners
will ultimately fake tmsscssion of this
land, leaving the real American families
no show at all. Then we are told that
in New England the French Canadians,
in families of a dozen to 20 strong each,
are crossing the border and will leave
not a foot of land, it factory or a pro‘
fessiou in the hands of the descend-
ants of the Winthrops and the Went-
tvorths. There is a very general fear
that the itiilians. who land among us by
the hundred thousand annually, will
subvert simon pure Americanism and
corrupt us with their not overclcan
ways. Meantime, however, the ship of
state seems to be sailing on.
it is rather remarkable, the number of
statesmen who are still suffering from
nervous prostration. A frcshcaso occurs
every few days. There is a surprising
unanimity in the orders of each sick
man’s doctor. in every case ho is for-
bidden to talk about public affairs, cs-
pocially the precise public affairs in
which he was engaged and which poo-
plo want to know about. It would cx-
cito him in his low nervous state and
cndungcr his lifv, that blessed doctor
says. What Would a public. ofllcial who
was wantcd for an invcstigution do
without his doctor?

make an clcctric road from New York
city to Philadelphia. As it is in New
Jcrscy, so it will in time be in every

Whichever political party is in power
t’othcr always begins its platform on-
nouncement with the declaration that
“history has demonstrated the nnfltnoss
and inconipcfency of tho --——— party to
ndministcr public affairs. "
Writers not a few rush into the news-
papers annually to tell the public what
the stimuli boarder thinks of country
people. But nobody has as yet told us
what cou‘ntry pcoplo think of the sum-
mer boarder.
Since wartime we have not had such

What causes bad dreams is a question
that has never been satisfactorily an-

dear, it was one of Dr. Ayer's pills."
“Please may I have another?" “Not
now, dear; one of those nice little pills is
all you need at present, because every
dose is effective."
Says S. C. Weeks, of Melrosc, Mesa:
“1 had been troubled with chronim
diarrhms for over a year when l receiv-
ed a small bottle of Chamberlain’s Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, which I
used and it gave me great relief. I then
procured a fifty cent bottle and took
about twothirds of it, and was cured. I
have taken some twice since when i had
a looseness come on and it stopped. it at
once. I hope it will help others as it
helped me. I feel very thankful to Mr.
Stems, the druggist, for telling me of
this remedy and shall be glad to have
this letter published." ’or sale by G. S.
