...Madame Bovary," by J. B. Fletcher, is a discussion of Flaubert's method. The writer finds it to be that of a surgeon, rather than of an artist-for both treatment of life and description lack literary perspective. The minor characters, however, he considers excellent. The article is interesting and vigorous. It would be improved by omitting Flaubert's description of the beggar...

It can not be denied that the new system of four forensics is an immense improvement over the previous method.

Slattery, K. McKenzie, C. N. Barron. H. A. Davis, W. M. Cannon, and F. N. Robinson. The first dinner will...
