The Appeal

Strange March of Doukhobors To Win Crown of Martyrdom Most Remarkable Pilgrimage Whole Has Ever Been Undertaken Has Caused the Canadian Authorities No End of Trouble and Anxiety—Animated by an Abnormal Impulse to Extend Their Homes in Asinibioa and Become Wanderers—The Unusual Story of These Fanatical Russian Colonists THE STREET CAFE ONE OF THE TENT SETTLEMENTS OF THE MARCHING DOUKHOBOKS NEAR YORKTON, ASSINIBOIA. ```markdown ``` The impulse to win the crown of martyrdom has been the cause of many strange movements in times both past and present, but probably none of them have been more remarkable or abnormal than the barefoot plightage of the Doukhobors, who, starting from their settlements in Assiniboia, say that the Lord had told them to go Christianize the world, have lately marched through the Northwest territory. The spectacle presented by these strange people on their march was a lamentable one. They camp without shelter or with only canvas tents to protect them from the thermometer, which stands at this time of the year in Assiniboia at about 14 deg. below freezing point. Hitherto the Doukhobors have not been propagandists, and they have not sought to extend their faith among their Canadian neighbors. Now they are missionaries, and have invited outsiders to join them, thus offering a chance to homestead the fertile lands reserved for exclusive settlement by Doukhobors in all the years they have been in Assiniboia. ONE OF THE TENT SETTLEMENTS These people belong to a religious sect noted for enthusiastic plea, and they allow themimental excitement. They longed to be persecuted, in testimony of their earthly things, and they wandered up and down the land, seeking not whom they might devour, but who would devour them. In this connection they have given the Canadian authorities and the Northwest at last have been half driven and half led to their villages and farms again, where the women who had gone back to work had been banished. The fanatical fervor in the peace of home, received them in an cestacy of gladness and over five thousand, men, women and children were on march, while their villages were practically deserted. They were alone, constrict their steps, and where a place where their steets. Nothing was to be feared from them physically. Not in a single instance have they been reported as creating any disturbance or wilfully doing any harm. They were simply on a religious pilgrimage and their individual beliefs it is generally admitted, speaks well for their Christian character, if some of their harmless fanaticisms were excluded. It is such an unusual thing nowadays to come across any considerable body of men who are, willing to risk their material property for the sake of the capricios that the interest roused by the "mad colony" is natural enough. From 1895 to 1896 the Dutchooers were from the Netherlands, where they had their own religious customs, ornament, customs, and rulers, because they were enforced service in the Russian army. An intense religious feeling was aroused among them in consequence, and the sympaty of the English and American quakers as well as other large, whole, souled philanthropists were enlisted in Count Toletol was among the first to realize that these earnest people must be gotten out of their own country. NTS OF THE MARCHING DOUKHOBORS Correspondence was opened up with the United States government. But to the could not, should they become citizens of this country, be exempted from the rules thereof, a contingency arose. Therefore, that which abashed and negotiations began, with Canadian government, which resulted-successfully, the government agreeing that they would not be exempted from war, as the people will not fight. Prince Tolstoi, Count Tolstoi's son, took the lead in and progressive Russians, accompanied the first group of Dukhobors to their settle down. The Dukhobors in Russia did not conquer, own, or own religious ceremonies, government, customs and ruler. The latter was Peter I, the north of Siberia, whose decisions are regarded as law, even when sent from Siberia, from which they only come under the jurisdiction of the Persuasion to which they were subjugated among them. One of their settlers was vegetarianism, but after they settled in Canada many of them returned to the United States, however, repudiated not only the use of meat, but went so far as to say it was not a good thing, and turned them free. The recent circumstances of the Doukhobors were such as youngest the possi- bility of the sect disintegrating, or at THE APPEAL.

Such splits have occurred in the past time, besides the question of vegetarianism and the use of domestic animals, there is a great divergence. Some villages are more or less strictly communal, other villages are, on an individualistic basis, more or less separate, home-steads* and a considerable number have settled their own separate home-steads* and a considerable number have settled their own separate home-steads* and where they make a living as carpenters and blacksmiths. Every Dukhobor knows some hard-working, practical solution of the cattle question is that those who believe it to be wrong to use domestic animals move into the towns and remain there. They are primitive people, their education, both religious, grown up to them by the word of mouth. Therefore old family traditions have been passed on to them by the race have become second nature with the mothers and fathers. RS NEAR YORKTON, ASSINIBOIA.

Cook of Brooklyn tells in the New York Sun of the manner in which the Arctic night affects the disposition of those who pass through it. He says: "The long polar night is one of the barriers to the success of every polar expedition. This night of months, with its low temperature and high humidity, drives men to the verge of desperation. It depresses the spirit and suppresses all the functions of the body. Now one is melancholy, then one curses one's self and companions, and again a wave of sleepy dullness covers every human effort. Indeed, this hellish darkness brings out all the badness of which a man is capable." The isolation, the monotony, the chilling cold produces a depression of spirits which in some men ends either in madness or a condition bordering on that state. The mind reacts on the body and the body on the mind. It therefore requires a man of exceptionally strong constitution and will and with sanguine temperament to make a successful Arctic explorer. Do long, an Arctic explorer at the head of Janetite in 1879 and was ice-bound on her for a year has left record in the shape of a diary of mental sensations and melancholy. Its writer is survived its writer—is the most realistic and melancholy description of a sojourn fully into every phase of the situation, and toward its close affords practical experience. Physically sound, can lose his mental poles under the depressing conditions of a year spent in the Arctic regions. In the log of any Arctic expedition can be examined before it is revised it will be found that the man who often have no logical beginning and ending. A body of men who lived together in close companionship can be seen that they could not escape each other's company if they wished, would many of them, probably, toward their companions. There is, then, no need for wonder when we hear that results become irritable, quarrelsome and sometimes mentally affected. Physiologically, it is only exactly what might be human nature the consideration of men placed in such circumstances would be a interest—perhaps even of instruction. The American Undergraduate. The incident which made more impression on me than anything that I saw in the United States admirably illustrates this. I went down to see a great deal, and I was immediately surprised—a splendidly beautiful, beautiful, reined from head to foot with soot and grease, (began talking to him, and was amazed with the charm and intelligence of American mechanics. Shortly afterward I discovered that he had only Just left Yale, and had rowed in the Yale eight against Oxford. Nothing ever was ever known of him, except by his own experience of American democracy, which on its purely political side seems at first sight so unattractive. I cannot pretend to have seen much of the American undergraduate, but the salient feature of him to English eyes is (outside Harvard) his extreme boyishness. It is his own experience of a life of the world of zoning his university work one or two years earlier, which, I understand, is not usually the case at Harvard. He seemed to me much more like the type of English public schoolboy—less individual and more regimental than the Oxonian. His exuberances were more deeply thought out, more carefully organized, and more thoughtful. He was so so much another symptom was his childlike joy in being a another, rather was his secret society. For a similar reason, perhaps, there seemed to me much less tolerance of intellectual eccentricities and mere losing than at Oxford or Cambridge.—E. S. P. Faynes, in the Bookman.

Premier of Newfoundland Believes Trip Will Shortly be Made in That Time —Sir Robert Bond is Under the Impression That the Future Port of All Trans Atlantic Express Steamers Will be Newfoundland and He is of the Opinion that If Turbine Ships Are Used the Passage Can be Made in Less Than Two Days and the Trip From New York to England Reduced to Almost Three Days by Sea and Land—Even With the Present Methods of Ocean Travel Sir Robert States That the Trip Can be Made in 72 Hours—A Most Interesting Story. --- THE FIELD WASHINGTON, Nov. 22 - Sr. Robert Bond, the distinguished premier of Newfoundland, is now in Washington. His purpose in visiting the Newfoundland is to train institutions for a trade arrangement between Newfoundland and this country, the negotiations having been recently sanctioned. If a satisfactory arrangement between this nation and our neighbors in the north is effected, now it seems highly probable that the trans-Atlantic business's fast line project between Europe and America which he thinks at no distance can trip down to the almost incredible limit of forty-four hours and completely revolutionize the trans-Atlantic business, he says. Robert's plan seems Utopian, yet the celebrated Newfoundland premier is no dreamer. He is, in fact, a very practical politician, a politician tinguished political position which he occupies is alone sufficient indication of his realism. His views therefore regarding what he believes as certainly the future trans-Atlantic fast line are interesting, in these cases, from a small, large gas站, from a mail, trade and passenger point of view, and have deeply impressed J. P. Morgan and a number of other steamship magnates with their value. During the course of a recent interview, I was asked on this subject, in this country, he said: "I have been advocating a fast Atlantic line with either Galway or Liverpool as a port, in Newfoundland, as the terminal port on this side of the Atlantic. I do not advocate this scheme, as it was advocated by Sir Sandford Fleming, one of Canada's most eminent civil engineers thirty-two years ago, to provide a favorable opportunity to revive the matter and to impress upon the public both here and to impress the public with the advantages offered by Newfoundland, as the terminus on this side of the Atlantic. By referring to the matter at gathering in London, I succeeded in awakening a lively interest in the question, as was plining and commercial men for interviews to discuss the matter in detail. I had been the subject with the present Lord Killinan, the subject of parliament for Galway, who manifested the deepest interest in the subject, and quite recently brought the matter before "The position I take is this: First, the line should follow the shortest route beacon with safety. Second, that it should employ the shortest sea journey. Third that it should avail of every portion of the sea because the speed of trains may be sixty miles an hour, whereas the greatest speed yet obtained by the fastest ocean train may be sixty miles an hour that it should be used for passengers mails and express goods only, because 1901 101 101 The very rapid transit of freight is out of reach of many of us, as advanced, be sound, then it follows port on the east coast of Newfoundland should be the terminal point on this side of the coast. "A glance at the map will, I hope, enable you to agree, with me that Newfoundland is the great central point for handling the passenger and mail traffic of the two hemispheres, and disclose to you the fact that lined through from any part of the North American continent to the British Isles all the way to the Atlantic from the Southern, Central and Western states, from New England, New York to Ontario and Quebec, all, can make SIR ROBERT BOND, THE PR Who predicts the trip from Europe to ly-four hours. snorter and quicker journey VIA New- foundland than by any other route foundland than by any other route. *Place a rule on the map and then run distance lines from all the other lines of trade in this country to the British Isles, and you will find that these lines curved.* *It is customary to speak of the five and a half days' ocean trip between London and New York, but in reality that is the record of which we hear simply means from land to land. Passengers leaving London for four hours, a journey of four hours, Passengers on shipboard entering New York bay are frequently detained twelve or more hours between New York and London and also vice versa. The actual time involved in a journey between New York and London and also vice versa is the time occupied in forwarding the mail, which is subject to no delay. The United States postoffice department issued a state time which actually elapsed between the mails leaving New York postoffice and reaching the London postoffice, as follows:* *Hours to London.* at Queenstown.....170.2 Blumrock, Hamburg, American line mail landed at Southampton.....170.3 New York, American line, mail land- d at Queenstown.....172.1 Havre, North German line, mail landed at Southampton.....184.6 Few will fall to notice then that under the mask they make circumstances it quires 156 hours, or 6 days, 12 hours, to make the journey from New York to Lon- don.

"The only objections I have heard ad- died to the sea, was that it could only be available from May to January, and secondly, that it would be regarded the first.

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 29; 1902 We cannot find words to express our gratitude toward President Roosevelt for the brave manly position he has taken in reference to the appointment of Afro-Americans to office. We reproduce his letter on the subject which speaks for itself. Long live Roosevelt. Here is the condition of affairs on account of, the discrimination on account of suffrage made by the Democrat of South Carolina. The South Carolina general assembly, meeting the second Tuesday in January, will be composed entirely of whites. This has not before been the case since the right of suffrage was granted the Afro-American. For the first time in the same period no Afro-American will hold office in the state. In Georgetown and Beaulock counties, where, by natural agreement, these offices have been divided for a dozen years, the whites made the issue for straight Democratic tickets, and won without a struggle, the AfroAmericans not going to the polls. Although Republicans were nominated in six of the seven districts, the total vote polled for those candidates was 742. In the same districts the Democratic vote was 22,362. --- The decrease in the Afro-American vote compared with two years ago is about 500 per cent. They seem, for the time at least, to have abandoned politics. Had they desired to vote 20,000 could have done so, possibly 25,000. The St. Paul Pioneer Press, seems to think that a better way to help the Afro-American than by giving him some good offices, is to have congress establish military and naval schools for his express benefit. We cannot see it in that light. All distinctions are odious. We are perfectly satisfied with the schools we now have and don't want any others. The schools are all right; it is the people in them who are wrong. Give the Afro-American boys the same chance to get into those schools that the white boys have, then treat them just as you do the white boys; no better, nor no worse; give them a fair, square show in examinations both mental and physical and there will be no doubt that they will hold their own. They have demonstrated this in the various civil service examinations. What we want is to have the color line obliterated, not made more pronounced, as such suggested separate schools would make it. The "Jim Crow" damn foolishness is causing some trouble in Virginia in a peculiar way. H. W. W. Hawkes is suing the Atlantic Coast Line for being put off one of its trains because he refused to go into a car reserved for whites. Hawkes is almost white. The conductor of the train found him in the car for Afro-Americans and, supposing him to be a white man, ordered him into the car set apart for them. Upon Hawkes refusing to comply with the conductor's demand he was put off the train. Hawkes now brings suit for $10,000 against the company. "What fools we mortals be" is an assertion made by a white man many years ago and it holds good today where many of them are concerned. Perhaps, after all, the people of New Orleans will not be bothered with the obnoxious "Jim Crow" street cars as President H. H. Pearson, of the New Orleans Railways-Company, and his officials, charged with violating the separate car law, was discharged last week by the judge of the Second City Criminal Court. Counsel for the company had demurred to the affidavits on the ground that the law is unconstitutional. The judge sustained the demurriers. The case will probably go to the State Supreme Court. Commissoner West of the District of Columbia, after consultation with the superintendent of police has decided to appoint Afro-Americans to succeed Afro-Americans as policemen in case of death, resignation or removal. To come within the scope of this vile colored applicants must measure up to all demands physically and mentally and be of good character. There is a peach of a man named Archibald Jones now under arrest in Knoxville, Tenn., nine women claim him as their husband. Another strange feature in the case is that each of the nine women has a male child of which Jones is the father. Mr. Jones is a white man. Senator Scott of West Virginia, denies the report that he is desirons of President Roosevelt's defeat for the nomination in 1904, because of the administration's attitude toward the Lilly Whites in the South. A CHANCE FOR YOUNG MEN AT THE TUSKEGEE INSTITILTF The demands in all parts of this country, and in several foreign countries for well trained men of our race in the direction of scientific and practical agriculture, are so great that this demand will be to offer exceptional advantages. We wish to come here and take either a regular or post graduate course in agriculture. We cannot begin to supply the demands that come to us for trained men in the direction of agrifood. The positions for which these trained men are those in most every case which pay high salaries. We are especially anxious to get hold of men who have received, as far as possible, a good education before coming here, and are ready to enter upon a thorough course of agricultural training.

These charges are entitled to the utmost consideration for November shall go over them carefully before taking any action.

In view of these last statements I think I ought to make clear to you why I am concerned and pained by the attitude is as regards all such appointments. If any one could have gained the idea that I had said I would not appoint reputable and upright colored men to office, when objection was made to them, I am wholly unable to understand. At the time of my visit to Charleston last spring I had made and since that time I have made a number of such appointments, and there is a considerable colored population. For example, I made one such appointment in Mississippi, and another in Alabama, shortly before my visit to Charleston. I had at that time appointed two the District of Columbia magistrates, the District of Columbia unannounced another such appointment for dreams and have just made one from Pennsylvania. The Great Majority of my appointment in July, have been of which, men, North and South alike, it has been my sedulous endeavor to appoint only men of high character and good capacity, whether white or black. But it has been my consistent policy in every state where their numbness was to be recognized, the men of good repute and standing in making appointments to office. These appointments of colored men have been made more than a small proportion of the total number of appointmentants. I am unable to see how I can initially be seen to make an exception for South Carolina in South Carolina, to the four most important positions in the state, I have appointed three men and continued in office a fourth, all of them white men-three of them originally gold Democrats-two of them, as well as the other South Carolina soldiers. I have been informed by the crises of Charlson whom I have met that these four men represent a high grade of public service. I do not intend to appoint any unfit men to office. So far as I legitimately can I shall always endeavor to pay regard to the wishes and feelings of the people of each country. I cannot consent to take the position that the door of hope—the door of opportunity is to be shut upon any man, no matter how worthy, purely upon the group, race or color. Such an attitude would, race or color. Such an attitude would, accuse to my convictions, be Fundamentally Wrong. If, as you hold, the great bulk of the colored people are not yet fit in point of character and influence to hold such positions, it seems to me that it is worth while putting a premium upon the effort among the others. The character and standing that will fit the The question of "negro domination" does not enter into the matter at all. It might as well be asserted that when I was governor of New York I sought to bring about negro domination in that state because I appointed two colored men of good character and standing to responsibilities of the others. The position of the man's position was not large to be paid in the office now under consideration—one of them as a director of the Buffalo exposition. The question raised by Mr. J. J. and the statements to which I refer is simply whether it is to be declared that under no circumstances shall any man of color, no matter how upright and honest, no matter how good a citizen, no matter how fair in his dealings with his fellows, be permitted to hold any office under the government. I certainly do not assume such an attitude and you must permit me to say that in my view it is an attitude no man should assume, whether it is from the standpoint of the true interest of the white man of the South or of the colored man of the South—not to speak of of the Union. It seems to me that it is a good thing from every standpoint to let the colored man know that if he marked degree the qualities of good citizenship, and if he man feel are entitled to reward, then he will not be cut off from all hope of similar reward. He may regard as to what my decision may be on the merits of this particular applicant for this particular place, I feel. I ought to let you know clearly raised by you and Mr. an attitude from which I have not varied during my term of office. Pathfinder for the school. Joseph Hon. Carleinert, S. C.

A GIGANTIC ENTERPRISE THE BOOK WORLD Defective Page For a thousand years there has been no advance in the homely form of making bread. The primitive conditions of the stone age are still the methods employed by the housewife. Through all these years it has remained for an Afro-Americo to invent a machine which will lessen the increase the economy of bread making and more absolute purity. Joseph Lee, who was a eleven-year, a steward in the United States Coast survey, gave particular attention to bread making. He noticed that the best bread was produced when the dough was most evenly and completely knasted. In 1844, while the proprietor of the Aburdale hotel, Mr. Lee invented his machine for the purpose of producing a uniform bread, but with no idea of revolutionizing the business making industry. While fashionable Boston came out to Auburndale to be a very new way in the particularly good bread, the inventor for five years carefully guarded the secret that his bread was made by machine and not by hand. When the, secret was discovered, a company was organized to exploit the invention of Mr. Lee. Spain is said to produce the best bread of Europe and where the dough is knasted by being made when a process similar to the one employed by the National Knedging machine, which employs which-minded screws to ultimately mix every particle of the mass and turn it over under pounding mallets. After the machine was developed, the machine was used to make things out of nothing. Out of each harrel produces sixy pounds of man-made invention than the hand process. This is explained by the fact that the machine made bread all of the flour is not turned in left in its natural state throughout the THE MERCHANT MARINE. The Merchant Marine. By Winthrop L. Marvin. The Merchant Marine. Charles Scriner's Sona. A history of the United States navy has often been told. The no less important account of the merchant service has found a new home in the patriotism and actual worth to our country, the record of the merchant marine known and more appreciated war navy, known and more appreciated war navy, the Merchant Marine. Marvin has written an interest in the "Merchant Marine," giving an account of his life. The dazzling sea triumphs of the Spanish war have again turned the attention of the world to the sea. In the early days American shipbuilders and seamen were at a premium. There were not many ships that was met. The early settlements clung to the shore. The ocean was the best high-tech resource, and their abundance of food and found them a mariner's best hump. In early 20th century pilgrims passed law insisting on on-whenceh in shipbuilding defects in material or workmanship. This demand, for excellence counted more to the shipbuilder's number of subsides could have done. Mr. Marvin finds the years between 1846 and 1860 the most important in the history of our industry. This is memorable for the appearance of the ships and the exploits of the Yankees shipbuilder. But the author takes a partisan view in regard to the causes of this decline and the success of the industry in enacting in an artificial way their shipping industries. He emphasizes this point so thoroughly that it becomes a question whether the book purporting to be a guide to the shipbuilding service is not a campaign document in disguise. So urgent is the plea near the door of the book that the reader feels the same kind of imposition he does in reading a story which ends in a disaster. It is not successful and is a serious injury to the book. GABRIEL TOLLIER Gabriel Tollier. By Joel Chandler-Harris, New York: McClure, Phils & Co. Joel Chandler Harris, like many another writer, has found that the novel is more short stories, has found that the novel is more different thing. It may not be more difficult, a great thing. It may not be made a great success in one does not mean he can therefore attain equal distinction. He can, of course, that Mr. Harris realized his limitations, that Mr. Harris realized his friends and produced "Gabriel Folly." He apparently thought that while he was writing, he hung for a sheep as for a lamb, and so strung it out to 484 pages. And it is not so strange that Chandler Harris sketches, connected by a thread of continuity and dealing with the same people, one individual in particular, the scene and one individual in the south during, and after the civil war. Mr. Harris tells the story of the boyhood grained younger in the Georgia hammers Nan, Dominion, who is, the heroes—by meaning that by only that she is the princess African dwarf—old Uncle Billy Sanders, and several other of the characters with stoles are well acquainted. Gabriel does nothing extraordinary, except to get mixed up in the reconstruction period after the civil war, to have his story to do with his escape from prison through a clever trick devised and there will be many who can muster only a few. Mr. Harris is one of Mr. Harris's best characters—quantit; simple, and a natural hunter. Gabriel at best is a real girl of moods, but full of life and love as well. THE KISS OF GLORY. The Kiss of Glory. By Grace Duffle Boyian. New York: G. W. Dillingham Co. Chicagoans will be attracted to the work of a Chicago writer. "The Kiss of Glory," by Grace Duffle Boyian, is a tale of the Jacob's son Joseph, a story of the heart of the young woman who was a child, a field and of the heart of the field with stormy dreams of one fair woman. Among the persons introduced are Asenath, the loveliest maid in all Egypt, and a high priest of Potiphat, captains of the king's trow and the king's son. The pips of war are sweeter than the songs of women," Zerei, the wife of Potiphat, a lonely woman "by the world misjudged." The tale begins with pastoral activity, being the silver early life of the seph. It increases in intensity until the climax is reached. The interview between Zerei and Joseph is so well timed that it serves to glorify the young man in the story of his man's life. The character of Zerei, although somewhat, is a قوية character, is not altogether contemptible. The action of the story is rapid, the scenes are vivid and although there is a modern spirit throughout the book in spite of the first. Explained to the point of successarily injure the force of the story, it may more than the Christian spirit which Goes the "phigenic" shows mars that exquisite drama. THE WOMAN'S MANUAL OF LAW.

GREENMAN. body of the bread, whereas in the case of bread made by the smallest the bread kneding and manipulation so develops its latent qualities that more water is absorbed in the dough and every part of the flour is turned into bread substance; thus the additional eighty pounds of bread is easily supplied for. Mr. Lee's machine is now quite general. It can be used in the United States and Great Britain. In addition to this bread making machine he has built a machine for crumbling machine, which, while it will crumble bread, is not as useful that the National kneading machine has, yet it proves the versatility of it is. New York: Silver, Burdett & Co. (1500) The Woman's Manual of Law presents in a clear and simple manner those principles of law governing the business of the business and the business of the business, which are not as well condensed, and there are no unnecessary fine-spun details of legal logic. The following chapters are given up to laying a foundation for the business of the matter to follow. The following is the following, the domestic relations are considered, followed by those conditions and business law, every case of all kinds of property, in every case the peculiar legal restrictions upon the power of the woman who is married being considered, the proper disposition of property by will, including the rights of the widow or widower in the property of either.

PRIVATE SOLDIER UNDER WASHINGTON The Private Soldier Under Washington. By Charles Knowles Bolton. $125 net. The Private Soldier's Sons. "The Private Soldier is a working book" is the title of an odd and interesting book by Charles Knowles Bolton, librarian of the Boston Athenem. The scope of the work is indicated by the following chapter heads. Origin of the Army—Maintaining the Forces—Material Needs—Firelock and Powder—Officer and Private—Camp Duties—Camp Diversations—Hospitals and Prison Ships—The Army in Motion—The Private Himself. Going first of all, to the diaries and journals of the men themselves and then to other contemporary documents, both public and private, Mr. Bolton has constructed a straightforward narrative of the daily life, under the various conditions suggested in the chapter headings, of the private soldier who served in the revolutionary war. The citation of authorities shows that what is the solid foundation of the book rests, while the elasticity and raciness of the author's style give color, atmosphere, and significance to the recital of the barest facts. A SHORT HISTORY OF MUSIC. A Short History of Music. By Alfredo Understeter. $1.20 net. New York: Dodd, Mead & Co. A history/ of music from the earliest time to 1901, including discussions of such men as Richard Strauss and the latest representatives of the neo-romantic school in Germany. No name of importance in the whole history of music has been omitted, and the information given is regarded as entirely reliable. The author has not allowed himself to be swayed by personal likes or prejudices; at the same time he has had the courage and independence of judgment to point out the vulnerable features of the works of some great composers. The chapter on the history of the art of singing is most interesting; the development of the science of music, the history of the scales, and the development of the orchestra are treated briefly and yet with exceeding clearness. In short, the book is an excellent example of how a great deal of information is being used to provide a little space, without losing lucidity or attraction of form. The book is of unquestionable value to those who are interested in the subject. THE AMERICAN DATE BOOK. The American Date Book: a Handbook of Reference Relating to the United States of America. By W.

Writer in Good Housekeeping Gives Valuable Advice. Give away what you don't really need in your house. Don't let such things accumulate. They will soon fill attic and cellar, and overflow into other rooms, where they do no one any good. You are not likely to want them again, and it is a nuisance to have them in your room. You should have been obliged to get a bigger house for our growing family if I had followed my husband's thrifty plan of saving things, says a writer in September Good Housekeeping. At first he thought I was exviraganet, but now he acknowledges that if other families would likewise rid themselves of "truck" they are not likely to use again in a thousand years, house cleaning would be robbed. That truth. Homely virtue that easily degenerates into miserliness. Some of us hoard old clothes, aused furniture, discarded brice-a-brac, and the like, simply because that habit has become so fixed we are too stingy to give such things away to worthy folks who need them. Yet we don't mean to be stingy, and are ashamed to discover that we are so. Born in the Country.
