The Appeal

THE APPEAL KEeps IN FRONT BECAUSE: 1- It aims to publish all the news possible. 2- It does so impartially, not staining no worm. 3- Its correct opinions are not an uninspirio. THE PEOPLE'S OWN BOOK The Most Universally Interesting Free Book Issued by the National Government; Being a Part of the Annual Report of the Board of Regents of the Smithsonian Institution. 17 Washington, Nov. 29, 1902—Worries that the American people ever published, containing over 800 pages, of the book issued by the national government for general distribution to the American people. People's Own Book," indeed, would be a personal Report of the Board of Regents of the University, through which the name is not exactly eloquent with promise, yet the same volume in the book would probably find a goodly proportion of American homes. The new report—always an event in Washington scientific circles—marks the beginning of a new century for the Smithsonian Institution, and is the latest and most comprehensive expression of its two-fold purpose of increasing learning and diffusing knowledge among men. The first purpose applies to readers already interested in technically scientific matters; the second is distinctly popular, appealing directly to the far larger class whose interest is general rather than technical. Science in these days is a large field, and aside from the reports of the various departments that have grown up under the protection of the Smithsonian, the volume is practically a library of modern progress during the last year, ranging from popular magazine articles on automobiles and automobile racing, the aerial experiments of Santos-Dumont, or the epochmaking discovery of wireless telegraphy, to expert analyses of such technical subjects as recent investigations into gravitation or the discussion of bodies smaller than atoms. But what is the Smithsonian? The Smithsonian is a museum, but perhaps for that very reason, the museum established by the United States government established by the United States which every citizen has, or ought to have, hazy in the minds of a good many among us, in the minds of a good many among us, and this despite the fact that it is a museum. And this despite the center of a scientific correspondence world, and that the national museum is supported by the government but managed by the Smithsonian, by over a quarter of a million sightseers. in 1838 James Smithson, an englishman, who was the first states of America to be founded, at Worthington. JAMES S. The English founder of America ment for the increase and diffusion of knowledge among men." This fortune amounted to between half a million and three-quarters of a million dollars, a large sum in the period before the war, but the increase in the amount of progress only after an intermittent period by Congress only after an intermittent period by the United States. Should or should not the United States government accept the unprecedented position of a guardian to a ward? Fortunately the answer was affirmative and an act of congress created a stable,稳定, and稳定 government officers to administer the Smithson fund for the benefit of science, the whole world over. The possible activities of the institution are therefore not to be considered. They are called, form perhaps the best connecting link in the world between capital seeking a wise avenue of benevolence and science handicapped by lack of money to carry on its thousand and one special investigations. Even where the institution is not being offered a science, the expenditure, its authority, the science is in itself a guarantee of wise suggestion and advice, whether to the donor or to the scientist himself. "The relations of the general government to the Smithsonian," to quote, apropos of this point, from its latest volume, "are most extraordinary, and the most extraordinary, and the most extraordinary, and the most extraordinary." United States solemnly bound itself to the administration of a trust. Probably never before has any ward found so powerful a guardianship, the trust? is obviously of a which the American public is more generally familiar. First of all, therefore, the Smithsonian exists to increase learning and diffuse knowledge. One of these two abstract propositions has taken concrete form in financial assistance to scientific investigators. The second has been attained by a general diffusion of scientific literature, both technical and popular, on so stupendous a scale that, were the packing boxes used, in sending "exchanges" of publications—its own and those of other scientific organizations—from the United States to 100 countries during a single year. In one on top of another, they would call a column that would now tower five feet high as the Washington monu- But the Smithsonian has naturally become associated with other people who more strictly national character, provided by national appropriations and intruded by the government than with the body best suited to carry it to a successful conclusion. In this way it has become identified with the bureau of studying the aborigines of our own culture, and with the bureau of ethnology, and with the national astrophysical observatory, the national zoological garden at Washington. Reports are not ordinarily very exciting, but they are necessary to say that all these intercede necessary to gather in a single volume make an exceptional work, so go at a period when scientific progress takes such practical form as improved means of transportation, lighting and communication. 0 In a matter to appeal to the curiosity of everybody. For that matter, the Smithsonian report is really only about one-sixth "report"; the remaining five-sixths are a general appendix of miscellaneous papers, the authors of which include such men as Marconi, Fournier, the famous French automobilist; Rear Jaminer, the author of the United States navy. Albert S. Sifey, the author of Jam. Herschel, Atogether this appendix contains some fifty articles, many of them from popular as well as scientific magazines and periodicals, nearly all pro-b达, and with a little picture ranging from a comparison of the various of the smallest eggs to the final scene in a great French automobile race. The average reader has seen "profusely illustrated volumes of a whole race and a decorated capital, but in this case each is each embraces no less than 179 illustrations, some of them beautiful examples of the modern art or color printing.

One of the more popular articles, for example, is a study of the national zoo by Ernest Thompson Seton, which is related to the development of the marine company by all the original illustrations from the brush and pencil of this famous portrayer of animals.

Minnesota Historical Society THEODORE ROOSEVELT Other comments, sets itself to the task or amusing and interesting the very youngest minds in the A B Cs of science. "The cases are arranged," says the author, Albert Bikelow Paine, in an account that originally appeared in St. Nicholas, but now adapted, with exclusively colored pictures, to the uses of the Smithsonian report—just "as a child would wish them, and he will begin, perhaps, with those on the left." At the first of these he will linger. Within the first of these he will linger. Within the "largest and smallest birds of grey." He will look at the great condor of the Aegean, and the加拿大, and the other, at the tiny sparrow, hawk, and he will wonder why these are so big and that so little, and if the bald eagle could whip the condor in a fair fight. He thinks it likely, because the condor has blunt claws—so blunt, the card says, that he cannot carry off the big animals he sometimes kills. The condor is bigger that the bald eagle, but he is not so good looking. And the child does not like him. He likes the big eagle, the largest owl, the great eagle owl, who lives in the vast, trackless woods of Northern Europe and Asia—a monarch of the far, dun stillness; and if the child is a little girl, he will give the smallest of his race, the tiny eagle, the who might well be a real sprite to dart from the leafy, dewy tangle of evening. "The small observer passes on." Some THE CITY OF BROOKLYN Defective Page Curlous Birds' come next, and he must see them, even if he has to come back to the bald eagle and condor, and the different sized owls, by and by. He wants ders and laughs, too, at the curious birds. Truly they are a funny lot. Some of them have fans that fold. Others have veils, aprons, crowns, lappets, armor, and what not. The toucan has such an absurd bill. The black skimmer's flat bill is set the wrong way. A queer paradise bird has one tall where it should be, besides two very long tails that are half saw and feather, and that start from behind ears. Then there is a row of little barrakeets that sleep with their heads hanging down. The child wonders why the blood doesn't run to their heads, and how the umbrellas bird can see through the thick tangle of his head covering. Almost all the curious birds have funny attachments, sometimes they don't seem to need—all except the poor apteryx from Australia, who has much less than he should be, because he is left over from some undeveled age, with paltry, hair-formed feathers and no wings at all. The child pities the apteryx, he looks so timid and sorry—and the card tells us he is often killed by dogs, because he has been fly. He is so different from his fine neighbor, the laughing Jackass, whose expressions is always humorous, and who seems always about to make merry with the whole queer lor With all these matters of interest to make us feel proud of our leading scientific institution, however, there is unfortunately another side to the shield. Few realize how seriously and how often its work is handicapped by lack of money. The condition is most obvious in the crowded rooms of the museum itself and the inadequate accommodations which the national park provides for many of the animals in the zoo. The national museum of the whole United States, for example, has an average of but seven-tenths of one cubic foot for the display of each specimen, while the American Museum of Natural History in New York has something over sixteen cubes. The New York museum has, in other words, 38,000,000 cubic feet of space, which to exhibit 2,300,000 specimens; the national museum in Washington has 3,600,000 cubes in which to display 4,994,672 specimens. collection of specimens that the sum of care to care for 5,120 specimens, did like duty in 1801 for 20,025. The number of specimens of amount of money appropriated has not even doubled. Perhaps the reason is that primarily a place to which school children can attend half-holidays for mere amusement, or because the very position of the museum as a place to entertain often the object of private benevolence. In like manner, too, one reads in the book affecting the National Zoological Park, especially in handicapping it in its prerequisite native animals. The criticism is that the national park has been treated SAMUEL PIER For fifteen years secretary and general of national scope and importance, and the actual purpose for which it was founded has been so thoroughly neglected that those most interested in the preservation of native American wild animal species have seen several become extinct almost before their eyes. Many others of the larger of these animals, indeed, have already practically disappeared, and it seems likely that all opportunity of preserving the few examples that remain will soon have passed away. In the park itself, Mr. Langley says, the elephant house, a small wooden shed that needs no description to thousands who have been kept in failing to meet the requirements of the new bird and reptile houses are needed, to say nothing of a cage for eagles. The birds chosen as the emblem of the nation more in a rickety pen, without room for flight, and constantly in danger of injuring their feet by pounding down upon their perches. And the only pond available for the seals and sea lions is so muddy that captivity cannot even be alleviated by a swim without injury to their eyes. Specimens have come in faster than the growth of appropriations necessary to provide room for them, and what will be done about it still remains for the consideration of future congresses. Even the Smithsonian itself as an organization, to complete this hard-facted side of an otherwise grufflying picture, is more than a little handicapped by lack of money. Its treasury has apparently been taken for granted by the world's capitalists. The disadvantage is hardly so evident when one thinks only of the work accomplished and all the things that are now going forward; but it is pointed out that the very extent of the field covered by its latest publication is good earnest of the enormous further extension, both direct and indirect, that would follow were the funds of the institution increased to keep pace with the spread of scientific curiosity for which it is so very largely responsible, not only through a superb publication as the present report, but in a thousand other ways hardly touched on even here.

STORIES HEARD IN MECCA BY AN ENGLISH TOURIST. MY GUIDE, having struck up acquaintance with a countryman of his troop, Marionne, has saged in conversation with him. This was a great, grandish Kahn by name, was a tall, gravelly fellow. He had come to buy a chip of the sand with an acacia which has small round golden blossoms whereof he related the following legend: "Allydian, this he had in the year 1840, and, of the time of his life, was a century ago a certain peasant woman of Ikmadam. This he had never seen the city of Ikmadam, and was in the city of Ikmadam, in order to eke out his livelihood during the cold weather, as is still the custom among the peasantry in our parts. Now it chanced that his axe struck against a branch of a tain, which he had never seen before. He was a tree he was telling. To his consternation, a stream of blood oozed out, followed by cries the most pitiable he had ever heard. They seemed, in their distressful anguish, to come from the heart of a mother that had been a child, and the axe fell from the peasant's hand, and, when he recovered to the ground in a faint. When he recovered consciousness it was to look for the talih "to only to find it gone." He returned to the city as fast as his legs would carry him away. He told his story, which was spread abroad he told his own, "and the place where he was in place the people. And from that day to this the wood of the talih has been regarded as sacred. Children use it in place of the wood of the land, and the place of a chip of it above their beds for the space of forty consecutive Fridays, will bear children in due course. This is so." Here the guide, Seyyid "All, interrupted the speaker, saying: "Light of my heart, thou speakest the truth. In my country, I have a famous way near Shiraz, we have a famous way near Shiraz, we have a famous way of women folk from attacks of Aal—that cursed ogress who comes to cut out the liver of every mother after the birth of her child. First we draw four lines from the head of the tree, and the head of each of the four corners we plant a "anch of the talih tree; and a dagger, with an onion atop, is stuck in the ground facing the door. This is the only possible way of keeping Aal out—may he be accursed!" "Sarkar," said Murshdi Khan, turning to me, "I have with these two eyes of mine seen things beyond belief, though I believe in them myself, and many a true believer shares the belief with me." Here he turned his face in the direction of the harem, raised his eyes and cried: "By the owner of this harem, and by the one for whom I wear this harem, this is the truth and the reality of my own." PONT LANGLEY. executive of the Smithsonian Institute. a sister, by name Javaher Khanum (Miss Jewels), who became Jinnj, jinnstruck, when she was ten years old. She had been of an equal mind until one day she went into a field in Hamadan, where a pears that she spilt the milk by accidentally kicking over the bowl containing it, and thenceforward her mind was troubled; she was Jinnl. Now we people of Hamadan accounted ourselves lucky in that there lived among us a pious mulla 'All, whose extraordinary capabilities were a matter of wonder and adoration. As a Jinn-gi, or Jinn-trapper, he was unrivaled. Him, therefore, we called in that he might cast out the Jinn that had turned the peace of my sister's mind. When he came he brought with him his famous tas-a bowl used for abutlons—and a long white sheet. Having filled the tas, he ordered my sister to sit down beside it and to gaze into the water. Then he threw the sheet over the child and the bowl, and made certain passes with a wand he held in his right hand. Whereupon, as we noticed to our terror, there arose a mighty stir beneath the sheet, as though a host were fighting there. On a signal from Mulla All the tumult ceased and all was in a bush. Suddenly the good priest, calling my sister by her name, said, "What do you want?" "What do you want?" "What do I dreamy, awestruck whisperer?" "O, Mulla All, I see him seated gloriously on a throne studded with precious gems, and hundreds of attendants, both men and women. I have no doubt that you are the king of the Jinks." And what do you hear? Be attentive!" said the priest. "One little inn, repiled my sister, in a tone which is so like a protesting her, before his majesty, is pretending her she says: 'Javaher Khanum—may she be punished—spilled a bowl of milk a month ago, and hurt my toes, and I have to go to the church for a while, and have cast a spell over her. I must request your majesty to increase her pungency, that she may learn to fear theوبom—that she may learn to fear thebotom—that she may learn to fear thebotom. How she cries and weeps before the throne of his majesty; I am faltering." "Beg her humbly to forgive you and promise to be more careful in the future, and be more careful of the way you are possible to doubt the sincerity of my sister's repentance, and when the priest removed the sheet, which he did as well as he did, and he did as well as he did before the throne, behold my sister was in her right mind once more—praise be to Allah! I forgot to say that before the removal of the covering a neighbor's hand, I was not in the way I did a diamond ring, probably by theft. So the priest commanded my sister to ask thebotom—that she may be in her way where the ring was, and him to tell her good enough to mention the thief by name, much to the delight of our neighbor, who subsequently recovered his property, I can assure you, Sarkar, that I have made Hamadan the safest city in Peria. Theft is unknown there. May Mulla All have a long life!" He said, "You must know that I am not always in Mecca. I come here HAVE YOU READ THE ARPEAL? ADAMS BROS.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1902. THE SECOND EMANCIPATION. The Thanksgiving letter of President Roosevelt is the second edict of emancipation. It is a reiteration of the noble principles upon which the Republican party was built. Abraham Lincoln took the shackles from the bodies of 3,000,000 bondmen; Theodore Roosevelt has freed 8,000,000 Afro-Americans in the South from a slavery which endeavored to repress all legitimate ambition and render the Afro-American a parish in the land of his birth. "In do not intend to appoint any unfit man to ocece" he written. "So far as I legitimately can I shall always endeavor to pay regard to the wishes and feelings of the people of each locality, but I can not 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 grounds of race or color. Such an attitude would, according to my convictions, be fundamentally wrong. "The question raised by Mr. — The question raised by Mr. _____ in 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 our government. I certainly cannot 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 any other section 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 shows in marked degree the qualities of good citizenship, the qualities in a white man we feel are entitled to reward, then he will not be cut off from all hope of similar reward." It is difficult to imagine that a Republican President could have assumed an attitude on this question different from the stand taken by President Roosevelt, but for a number of years the Afro-Americans of the country have known that a sentiment against the race was being worked up within the Republican party, so it is gratifying to know that the man who now copies the White House is President of all the people. To say that a people comprising according to the census about one-seventh of the population should be barred from all participation in the government is a vicious proposition and entirely contrary to the principles of true democracy. The Southern Caucasians need have no fear that their section of the country will be overrun with Afro-American office holders—anyone with a grain of sense knows that the old cry of "Negro domination" has been made to keep the South solid. There cannot now and never has been any danger that 10,000,000 Afro-Americans could dominate 60,000,000 Caucasians. President Roosevelt is a soldier and he knows what the Afro-American soldier has done for our common country. He knows that the Afro-American has proved himself a good citizen and knowing these things he refuses to shut the "door of hope" to the Afro-American people. Booker T. Washington's recent letter is a plain statement of his position as an educator and not as a politician. He says: What conferences I have had with the President or with any public official have grown out of my position, not as a politician, but as an educator. It should be borne in mind that there are about 9,000,000 Negroes in the United States who are liable under the law for taxes and military service, and who are punishable for infraction of the law. These people at present have no member of their race in the national law-making body, and it is right that those charged with making and executing the laws of the land should at times seek information directly from the members of the Negro race, when their interests and relations with the whites among whom they live are concerned. The whole letter is strong yet dignified and shows that Booker Washington is a man who is really working for the elevation of his people and not a mere politician. Some of the brethren in Jersey are howling because T. Thomas Fortune has received a government appointment and threaten to oppose his confirmation. In the meantime T. Thomas is enroute to San Francisco from which port he sails on December 11 for Hawaii. He has his commission and $2,500 allowed for expenses in his inside pocket. Mr. Fortune was appointed as special agent of the Treasury Department by Secretary Shaw and no confirmation is necessary. Senator Prichard still thinks the action of the North Carolina republicans in eliminating the Afro-American from the republican party in North Carolina, is right in policy and principle, and has no apologies to make for his course. The Senator has another think coming. His term expires in about three months and then he'll have time to think over the matter. The message of President Roosevelt to congress is generally conceded to be a masterly document in which he handles many abuses without gloves. There can be no mistaking of his position on the various subjects dealt with. His vigorous, strenuous style, which is characteristic, obtains all through the document. The message is all right, the president is all right, and the people are with him.

THE AMERICAN DATE BOOK The American Date Book: a B Book in our opinion, lays the foundation TRUE HISTORY OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION The True History of the American Revolution. By Sydney George Fisher. 24 illustrations. Crown Svo.: Cloth decorated. P.S. 22. Philadelphia: J. B. Lippincott Company. This is the latest work which has emanated from the pen of that interesting and prolific writer. "The True Benjamin and the True Mr. Fisher, was advanceable quite unfeasured, and the standing public is to expect that many long-lived idols would be rudely broken by his inconcestastic pen. That the public will not be an unfeasured one in this expectation is seen in the preface to the work of the author." The Revolution was a much more only and unpleasant affair than most of us imagine. I know of many people who talk about the 'new ancestors, but who I am quite not'—and now take the side their ancestors chose. He refers to the historians of the Revolution, and he follows the following: "The device of listening the unpleasan or rebellious feature of the Revolution does not, I think, accomplish the improving and edifying results among us which the historians from their exalted station and the other who are the only candidates and free disclosure of all that the records contain would be, more appreciated by our people and of more advantage of them. They are as fully competent to judge of accountability of the interests as any one of their number who takes upon himself the tasks of the historian." In speaking of the Tories, a name which to very American schoolboy has become synonym to either the weakness; irresolution or treachery, and who were opposed to the rebellion of the Tory party, and spoke of them as Tories.

Nothing is more noticeable in the Revolution than the way he used the congenial side to the congenial side. Among a large number of the colonists one of the strongest allies was social anomaly—the desire either to be the most conspicuous fashioned to be the hope of some day entering the circle. "Arnold belonged to an old and respectful man and always been engaged in small trade." He had always been a graphic picture of the characteristics of the sailors who wrongs to which he was subjected by the navy. He set up a care and preach set a special pleader and concludes with an apology for his England. "More are some of the very many unusually heterodox utterances with which the book is replete. There are, for example, a few much newer officers' treatment of the Revolutionary period and the sailors. The author has spent years in pamphlets and obscure documents and has written much new material. He has endeavored to have, and has really given do the world a sense of History of the American Revolution." THE MERCHANT MARINE. The Merchant Marine. By Winthrop L. Sons.

As early as 1641 the pilgrims passed a land in material or workmanship. This demand is the advantage of shipping than any number of buildings and inflicting heavy penalties for material or workmanship. This demand is memorable for the appearance of trans-Atlantic steamships and for the development of trans-Atlantic steamships and for the development of trans-Atlantic steamships and for the development of trans-Atlantic steamships. Before the civil war the decline had been in regard to the causes of this decline and censures the American people for not producing industries. He emphasizes this point so closely that he begins to question whether the book provides a history and romance of the merchant seas disguise. So urgent is the plea near the close for national aid to shipping that the man he does in reading a story which ends in an advertisement. In this case the ruse is successful and arouses arousal to the book. Gabriel Tolliver. By Joel Chandler Harper New York. McClure, McClure, Phils & Co. Joel Chandler Harris, like many another writer of delightful character sketches and short stories, has found that the novel is an entirely different thing. It may not be more difficult, but because a man has made a great success in one does not mean that he can therefore attain equal distinction in the other. It is probable that Mr. Harris realized his limitations, but he yielded to the importunities of his friends and produced "Gabriel Tolliver." He apparently thought that while he was in for a long story he might as well be hung for a sheep as for a lamb, and so strung it out to 448 pages. And it is not a novel at all, but just a series of Joel Chandler Harris sketches, connected by a thread of continuity and dealing with the fortunes of one community in general and one individual in particular, the scene being laid in the south during and after the civil war. Mr. Harris tells the story of the boyhood of Gabriel Tolliver, a well-bred, fine grained youngster in the Georgia hamlet of Shady Dale. He grows up along with Nan Dorrington, who is the heroine—meaning by that only that she is the principal female character—Tasma Tid. the life of his child. While Billy Sanders and several other of the characters with whom the readers of Mr. Harris's southern stoles are well acquainted, Gabriel does nothing extraordinary, except to get mixed up with the Union league—the time is the reconstruction period after the civil war—and the principal episode of the story has to do with his escape from prison through a clever trick devised and managed by the inimitable Billy Sanders. There will be many who can muster only a passing interest in Gabriel, but Uncle Billy is one of Mr. Harris's best character-quali, a simple, and natural humorist—while Nan Dorrington, the marries Gabriel at last, is a real girl, full of moods, but full of life and love as well. EDUCATION AND THE LARGER LIFE. Education and the Larger Life. By C. H. Henderson, pp. 336, 130 net. Boston This is the title of a book by C. H. Henderson which has made its appearance this year. The title suggests a book that will turn over many pages in this interesting book. It is elaborated in a clear, striking, and convincing manner. Education and ethics, theoretical and practical, is insisted by the world's greatest philosophers and publicists, and one does not exert a desire to be on the same side as those on good subject books, unless from a "world-ramed thinker, in the class." The author, Spencer or Emerson, Mr. Henderson has, however, stated a proposition which is not known to any one, which so far is how it is entriched which Beware!

By Grace Duffie Boylan, New York; G. W. Dillingham Co. Chicagoans will be attracted to the work of Glory, by Grace Duffie Boylan. The Kles of Glory's son, Joseph, a story of the heart of the boy, filled with visions of the fields and of the heart of the man filled with stormy dreams of one fair woman, the perseous introduction to the Asse, a path of the loveliest maid in English, daughter of a high priest; Potipbar, captain of the king's troops, a man to whom the pips of war are sweeter than the sings, a jovial woman by the world misjudged. The tale begins with pastoral simplicity, as befits the early life of Josiah. It increases in intensity until the climax is the time of interview between Zerel and Joseph is the time that it serves to glorify the young man in the eyes of his master, and the character of Zerel, although somewhat questionable, is not altogether contemptible. The action of the story is to the scenes are vivid and although there is a modern spirit throughout the book in spite of the old Egyptian coloring, this does not necessarily give the force of the story any more than the Christian spirit which Goethe's "Iphigenie" shows mars that exquisite drama. THE WOMAN'S MANUAL OF LAW. THE Woman's Manual of Law. By Mary A. Greene, LL.B., Member of Boston Bar. New York: Silver, Burdett & Co. $1.50. Woman's Manual of Law" presents in the law and is in most those principles of law governing the business world and domestic life which every woman should know. The information is well composed and are no unnecessary fine-spun details of legal logos. Three preliminary chapters are given up to laying a foundation for an intelligent understanding of the matter to follow. The following are considered following by those dealing with buying, selling, and care of all kinds of property, in every case the popular legal restrictions upon the powers of the women who are going to be considered. And, finally, the proper disposition of property by will and by the laws of inheritance is treated, including the rights of the new, widower in the property of either. Since the laws of the several states are subject to changes at the Exchange of Securities, the author has ever properly laid the general underlying principles, and then has brought the reader how and where to look for local modifications in her own state. GRADED PHYSICAL EXERCISES. GRADED PHYSICAL EXERCISES. BY Bertha Louise Colburn, 389 pp. Over 160 illustrations. New York: Edgar S. Werger Publishing Co. It is surprising what a dearth of books on this subject there is. A visit to one of the largest publishers of school books, the new book of present date, this book will, therefore, supply a needed want among public school teachers, specialists of physical culture and those persons desiring a practical system of physical exercise for the home which may be self-enjoyment. For this part of "Graded Physical Exercises" is its name indicates, devoted to a system of exercises, to be given in an ordinary room without apparatus. The system is divided into eight grades, one set for each year of school life. Each group is a natural outgrowth from the preceding one, the principle that only from the frequent repetition of a movement benefits the school. The capital consistently out, though each group is home-based, is the most self-developed. The exercises suited to adult development begin with Grade V, continuing throughout the series. The system is a more general적, but a practical, having been tested by the author in 2007. This year's use in public schools and academies. MOLLIE AND THE UNWISEMAN. "Mollie and the Unwiseman."

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 can be put into 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.

Mrs. Adam Williams, of Ebenezer band, brought her total up to something over $250, and while she did not get the blue satisfaction of bringing in the largest amount of Mrs. J. Q. Adams added enough to her collections to bring her total up to $220, and Mrs. T. E. Franklin made a total of $209. The other bands added smaller sums to their totals. The ladies, recognizing the good deeds and dividing among them $400, purchased a handsome gold watch and chain and lock to present to him. And when the reports were all in that gentleman was called forward and the presentation was made by Mrs. J. Q. who said in substance: Rev. Gaines, Fellow Workers, Ladies and Gentlemen. We watched the closing scene in the most successful, rally—all things being considered—in the history of St. James A. M. E. Church. The captains of the several bands, the police, the high privates in the rear ranks all had best they could—and, 'tis said, angels can do no more.

Our success would have been very m... less had it not been for the phenomenal success of Brother Andrew J. Bell, who collected nearly four hundred dollars, which he most gallantly and impartially distributed among the members of the six bands. Of the six bands, Colonel Bell has led the van in our financial victories. So I feel that, while we may each be entitled to praise and credit for our labors, Bro. Bell is entitled to more than any one of us. This is a feeling that is shared by every member and friend of St. James Church, and as evidence thereof I have been selected as their representative to present Brother Bell this golden chain as a token of their appreciation of his most successful laureth and the unselfless manner in which he disposed of the proceeds of the same. It is our wish that this little gift—naguratively speaking—may chain you more closely to the church whose insecurities so zealously guarded, and may each each one a link in one grand chain by which we will help each other to pull harder for Christ and His cause. And may the blessings of God continue to shower upon you and upon us all. And may the gurus surprise to Mr. Bell, who was so overwhelmed by his feelings he could only stammer a few words of thanks and vow to endeavor to do better next time. Thus happily ended the most phenomenal rally in the history of the church. **WELLI WELLI** Did you hear about the "Blooming Social" at Mrs. Will Green's, 598 Autumn, 12th Dec., 16th?
