NOTHING A COLLECTION of stories by RIcARDO FERNANDEZ GUARDIA have been translated from the Spanish by Gray CASEMENT, who has also written a delightful introductory sketch descriptive of the place and people, and the whole is under the general title CUENTOS TICOS (SHORT STORIES OF COSTA RICA) 12mo. Fully llustrated $2.00 What do we know of this little republic? — practically nothing. To the average American, Central Africa is as familiar as the American Isthmus, yet with the great Canal soon to come, and the interest it must attract — indeed, which it has already excited — everyone will want to know something of it, and here is a golden opportunity. Costa Rica has a literature, and the translator knows it; it is a vastly interesting country, and that also he knows thoroughly.
