ZOLA'S NOVELS.
Whatever else may be &aid about Zola's novels, theie is no doubt of their wonderful popularity in i-'rance. Most of his works years ago had far exceeded their hundredth thousand. "La Debacle" Mas one of those which sold best. The tot-dl sales of the Rougon-Macquait series must have amounted to nearly, if not quite, two million copies. It has been calculated that M. Zo:a had earned altogether by his pen some £80,000. This,°however, spread over a period of forty years, would only repiesenfc about £2000 por annum — by no means excessive pay for one of the mose widely read authors of his time.— Westminster Budget.
