No silvery stars to lighten The gloom that cloaks the night, No gracious moon to brighten Or cloat with radiant light.

That sear the soul and stain. In this tempestuous weather No bird takes heart to sing. Bird touches the shore, They brood on jocund spring. When the sun sheds azure showers To revive frozen flowers, The bower's bloom, Where rippling rhyme will ring.

These autographs did not cost the old gentleman a cent; they are worth hundreds and hundreds of dollars. "When the autograph fever seized my uncle, he set to work in a shrewd way. Being parsimonious, he did not want to buy his autographs. Being clever, he perceived that simple signatures, such as you get if you write and ask an autograph of a person of distinction, would have no real value. "So, do you know what he did?

It made its appearance about two years ago and is situated near the one-time famous pink and white terrace of Rotomahana, a swamp that entirely out of existence in the terrific eruption of 1886. The crater out of which the geyser issues is fully half an acre in extent and of enormous depth. When in eruption the whole of the gigantic funnel is filled with a huge column of boiling mud and an inflated in the air of nearly 1,000 cubic feet the cloud of steam which accompanies it rises in calm weather several thousand feet. To see it in eruption is said to When the time came to forward the winter outfits for the armies in Manchuria, and the commissariat produced hundreds of thousands of fur earprotectors, Japanese and foreigners alike wondered where these things could have come from. No one had ever heard of their being made. It seems that two years ago the plague was raging along the China coast. The Japanese quarantine bureau decided that strenuous efforts must be made to keep the dread disease out of the country. They determined to start a crusade. In all the seaports and larger cities bounties were offered for each rat brought in. The small boys found this a great source of revenue, and the competition at once became very keen. For each rodent the huntsman was given a small sum, and a lottery ticket. The money he might squander, but the ticket he saved, and at the end of the THE APPEAL.

Ratcatching became a popular amusement and the boards of health all over the country were kept busy examining the daily bag. Each animal was duly registered, and the place in which it was caught noted. It was then examined, and if any suspicious germs were discovered the building from which the rat came was immediately raided, the animals were hunted down, and the place was disinfected. In this manner the plague was kept out of Japan. The small boys amused themselves and made money, but no one ever stopped to think what had become of the skins of these millions of rats that had been worrying the boards of health. They had not been thrown away. The military authorities had used them to make ear-protectors. ANIMALS THAT HUNT EAGLE KILLING A SWAN Nimrods who, armed from head to heel, are going forth to contend with terrible partridge and frightful rabbits may not be aware that their methods of hunting are in use among animals. The toxote, for example, a fish in the rivers of Malaysia, has learned how to shoot at a mark and well deserves the name of the archer, or the spitting fish, which has been given to it. Although aquatic it feeds upon winged insects. When it sees, on the plants on the bank a silly insect gaping in the air it advances as near as possible to the object of its desires, fills its mouth with liquid, and closes its gills. Soon it raises its snout out THE HUNTING LEOPARD. of the water and, closing its jaws, shoots upon the insect a long thread of water—a veritable shower bath—which, falling back, washes the poor creature into the river, where he has not long to wait to be devoured. The remarkable part of this performance is the accuracy of the fish's aim, which rarely misses. In Java and the neighboring countries people often carefully preserve the toxin in aquariums and mount themselves by offering it flies, holding them some distance off so that it will shoot at them with its douche, to the great delight of the spectators. thread of silver white, a veritable cable, bent in zigzag. What could possibly be the use of this? One could watch the web for a long time without seeing the creature make use of it when a victim is taken, the spider is content to wind him about with small threads. Yet the cable is undoubted of use to the spider, for if it is removed he hastens to make another M. Vinson at last, after long observation, succeeded in solving the question. One day when he was examining for the hundredth time the trick and the manners of the spider, he saw a great grasshopper jump into the To obtain food another fish, the chelinous, proceeds in the same way with salt water, but he is less adroit, a fault which he possesses in common with many hunters. Yet he is always persevering. If he misses his aim he tries again until he succeeds, unless the insect has withdrawn out of reach. Lying in wait for prey is practiced with great skill by a large number of animals who have learned that in order not to frighten away the creatures which they wish to catch it is necessary to remain motionless. This is notably the case with crocodiles, which wait whole days without moving, hidden in the water or the grass on the shore, their prey, deceived by their apparent innocence, comes to bathe or to shake his thirst. It is also the case with the python snake that waits hanging from the trees by his tail so immovable that he cannot be distinguished from the surrounding branches. When an animal is about to pass he lets himself fall upon it. Various leeches in Africa proceed in the same manner. In passing through virginial forests only too frequently one hears a sudden noise like hail falling on the branches. It is not falling hall, but leeches which hasten to attach themselves to beasts of burden and to men, from whom they hasten to suck the blood. They were watchful, but leeches which mounted on the branches—an odd dwellings, once by the way—for creatures that are generally considered aquatic. The baudrole prefers to catch by decoy. This large fish buries itself in the mud and lets only a sort of small flag appear, which is fastened to his nose by the medium of a long filament which floats as the water moves it. The little fishes in his neighborhood hurry toward this flag, thinking they have to do with an easy prey. When he is disturbed over the sweet morsel, the baudrole opens his huge mouth and swallows them without further ceremony. Other animals are more refined and, in the hunt by decoy, prefer to use traps. It might be supposed that this method of hunting, which demands a certain intelligence, would be practiced. This creatures of high organization insects employ it. The larvae of the ant lion digs on the surface of the sand a large funnel, at the bottom of which he crouches; every insect which tries to pass rolls down into the funnel and reaches the bottom, where at once it is snatched up by the larva. This is pit hunting. Moreover, if the victim seems likely to escape, he shovels at him quantities of sand, which makes him fall still more quickly. There exists in Madagascar a spider which, for a long time, puzzled the naturalists. It is noticeable that at the center of its web is a greet Defective Page thread of silver white, a veritable cable, bent in zigzag. What could possibly be the use of this? One could watch the web long long time without seeing the creature make use of it; when a victim is taken, the spider is content to wind him about with small threads. Yet the cable is undoubtedly of use to the spider, for if it is reused, it will be used by another M. Vinson at last after long observation, succeeded in solving the question. One day when he was examining for the hundredth time the tricks and the manners of the spider, he saw a great grasshopper jump into the midst of the web. At the same instant the spider, darting upon the cable, began with the greatest swiftness to wrap it about the insect. The victim was too large to be held by the simple threads; the cable was there to bind him securely. The ant eater depends less on the power of skill, and, like a child, limes his game. He puts out his long sticky tongue and fattens it on the ground; it is with each other, and when the heap is sufficiently thick, the ant eater draws his long tongue in and swallows them all. At other times he plunges his lingual appendix into ant hills and draws it back laden with ants. Coursing is frequent among mammals, notably among wild dogs, wolves, and foxes. According to F. Houssay, wild dogs follow their prey in immense packs. They excite one another by their bayings at the same time that they frighten the game and half halyze its power. No animal is agile nor strong enough to be sure of escaping them. They surround him and cut off his retreat in a most skillful manner; gazelles, antelopes, despite an extreme lightness and swiftness, are overtaken at last; wild boars are quickly run down; their rough defense costs some of the assailants their life, but these also become the prey of the pack that falls upon the quarry. In sixties, dogs are agiles. In towards to attack even the Many, without doubt, have their backs broken by a blow from his paw, or are strangled by being seized by his jaws, but the death of comrades does not diminish either the courage or the hunger of the surviving assailants.

The wolves approach, warily heeding the coyness shown himself, and attracts the attention of the dog, who rushes upon the wolf and pursues it with such eagerness he does not perceive that during this time the second thief has seized a sheep and dragged it into the wood. The dog finally gives up his attempt to vie in swiftness with the fugitive and returns to his flock. Then the two confederates again meet and share their prey. In other cases a sheep and dragged it into the wood. When they wish to take a roebuck, one of the pairs—the male, for example—follows it and directs the chase so as to make the prey pass near a place where the female is hidden. She then springs forward and continues the chase while the male wolf rests. It is a veritable organized relay race. Of necessity the strength of the roe is exhausted, and he cannot equal the arduor which his pursuer, quilted and displayed, can thenaken and death. The male has meanwhile approached the place of the feast in a more leisurely manner and comes to claim his share of the booty. STUDENT SCORED AT END. Professor's Discomfiture at Hands of Smart Undergraduate. John Morley was talking in New York about Prof. Jowett. "The famous and learned Master of Balloi," he said, "had a caustic wilt, and innumerable are the stories of undergraduates' discomfiture that his acid sentences occasioned. Stories of Jowett's discomfiture at an undergraduate's hands are rare. Nevertheless I heard one recently. "A youth from Devonshire entered Oxford, called on Prof. Jowett duly, and on a certain afternoon took a walk with the great man along the river bank. "He was a talkative youth. He gave over the whole afternoon to a discussion of Jowett's work on Plato. He pointed out two phrases that he conceived to be cures of translation, and he found some little fault with the notes. Prof. Jowett, he did, not give in these notes a quite adequate exposition of the Platonic philosophy. "For nearly two hours Prof. Jowett listened to this boy's criticism of his life work. Save for the chirping 'H'm, do you think so? that was a habit of speech with him, he didn't attempt to defend himself in any way. 'H'm, do you think so? he would say, and again, 'H'm, do you think so? to the youth's severest strictures. "At the end of the walk, as they were taking leave of one another, Jowett suddenly gave expression to his rage. "Good-by, Mr. Dash," he said, slowly and quickly. "You are, I think, the most conceived puppy that ever came to Oxford." "The young man, with an excellent imitation of Jowett's manner, answered: "H'm, do you think so?" An impossible Servant Anna Katherine Green, the well-known novelist, discussed the servant question at a recent dinner party in New York. "Servants, as a class," she said, "are excellent. I have no sympathy with those women who say it is impossible to get good servants. I admit, though, that now and then an impossible servant turns up. "An impossible servant, a cook, turned up at the house of a friend of mine. A bookish cook was from New Hampshire state, noted, I believe, for the haughty pride of its inhabitants, be they rich or poor. She came to my friend with a high recommendation from an employment agency, but as soon as she entered the house she began to ask the most impertinent questions. "My friend answered her questions with quiet. In the end they reached a point where civility would no longer serve. SPIDER WITH HIS PREY. "I see you have a daughter.

"No?" said the young man inquiringly, according to the New York Press. "Possibly you could give an illustration." "Undoubtedly I could," replied the old lawyer. "In fact, I was thinking of the case of an irascible old fellow who once kicked a servitor out of the house. I believe there was a difference of opinion as to the amount of wages the man was entitled to. At any rate, the testy old gentleman put himself in the wrong when he ejected the man with the violence of both language and action and the man was smart enough to know it. "He hunted up a lawyer immediately and put the case in his hands and then I was called in. The wrathy old fellow was mad clear through and he was going to fight the case all the way up to the highest court and back again if necessary. He was a personal friend of mine, and I didn't want to see him waste his money foolishly, so I advised him to compromise it."

It concerns an accident that came near resulting in the serious injury of Mr. Booth, and Mr. Skinner declares it to be the most dramatic moment in all his footlight career. "It was in the fall of 1889, and I was playing the 'leads' with Edwin Booth and Mime. Helena Modjeska," relates the actor. "We were playing 'Macbeth,' Mr. Booth impersonating the King and I Macduff.

Stepping up to a salesman, he said: "I've got one I'll trade to anybody on sight or unseen. So trot out any of 'em and I'll swap mighty quick and glad of the chance." "One what?" asked the mystified salesman. The visitor put his hand to his ear and looked puzzled, proving that his hearing was slightly defective. Being not quite sure that the salesman had spoken, the visitor went on: "Yep, mine is a very good one, I'll admit, but it might suit some man with a tougher conscience than mine. Some fellow who has a longer life ahead of him in which to live it down might get along very well with mine, Traits of the Japanese In "More Queer Things About Japan" Douglas Sladen says: "Perhaps one of the severest of etiquettes in Japan is that of smiles. When you have lived in that land of smiles you will learn in time that when you can understand a Japanese smile you may hope to understand the people. A daughter-in-law must always present a smiling face to her mother-in-law; the servant must smile when his mistress dismisses him. But the news of a death must be told with laughter. Laughter is reserved for very special occasions and has no relation to joy; smiles are used on every occasion to conceal real feelings; they are not always significant of pleasure.

I would have been satisfied under the circumstances in going ahead and letting him run into a lot of expensive and useless litigation, but I didn't like to do it. So I went to see the lawyer on the other side. He knew he had a good case, but he also knew my client had lots of money and could make a prolonged and costly fight. Consequently he was inclined to be the judge. He gave him it and asked it over with him and the client said he would compromise for $25. His lawyer made a reasonable charge and I closed with them on the spot and paid them. "Then I went back to my client, told him I had put up such a bluff that he never would hear of the case again, turned in a bill that covered the cost of the settlement I had effected me in.

As it was, he was stunned for a moment, and after the act, the tale of his wig and heavy crown, there was a tremendous bump on his forehead where my sword had struck. "It makes my blood run chill even now at the very thought of my emotions at that intensely dramatic moment, when the play ceased to be a mimic thing for me and real death stared me in the face. The weapons, by the way, both of them are now in my possession.

Jeff, Davis, of Arkansas, was given a deserved slap in the face by the legislature of the state last Saturday, when, by a vote of 54 to 26, the House indefinitely postponed the Burgess bill, providing for the separation of school taxes on racial lines. In his message to the assembly Gov. Davis unveiled the passage of such a bill. The governor that Gov. Davis expressed in that message prove him to be far more unfit to be governor of the great state of Arkansas, that thousands of Afro-Americans whom he desired to impose an unjust discrimination upon, are heartily glad that there are so many members of the legislature who do not hold such unchristian, unjust feelings toward a class of citizens of the state who, as citizens, are entitled to the same rights as themselves. The superintendent of Public Instruction of Arkansas, in 1872, who was elected by the people, was an Afro-American, Prof. J. C. Corbin, who is still a resident of the state; and, we will venture the assertion, that he was the equal, if not the superior, of any man who held the office before or since he did, and defy successful contradiction. Though the Afro-Americans of the state do not appear upon the tax books as tax payers in the proportion the whites do, they furnish the bone and sinew that provides the money for the whites to pay their taxes, and if fair labor contracts and fair treatment were accorded they would be represented in very much larger numbers. Collier's Weekly attributes the following language to Prof. E. L. Blackshear of Texas: "The Afro-American is still too near the African savage state to be capable of a high development." "It is bad enough for Caucasians to say such things but for an Afro-American to give out such false statements places him in a class to be desplied by all fair-minded people. Blackshear, Councill and all other traducers of their race should be slavery. TRUE TO HIS PRINCIPLES. Soldier's Admiration Won Fidelity of Queen Victoria. What is believed to be an unpublished story about the late Queen Victoria is told by Rev. R. Harris Lloyd, who for six years was a Wesleyan army chaplain. Of the color of sequesters of the Scaups judges under his pastoral care was selected, he said, to drill Prince Arthur of Connaught, and for that purpose was frequently at Buckingham palace. On one occasion Queen Victoria invited him, with others, to attend a theatrical entertainment at the palace, and was an unminned when the young soldier asked to be excused, stating that that form of the soldier was not his in his younger days, and that he had made a vow never to have anything to do with it again. In a few days he was summoned into the royal presence, where he found a beautiful breakfast service on the table. Addressing him, Queen Victoria said: "I have sent for you, sergeant, to tell you how much I honor you for the stand you made for your Christian principles, and I ask you to accept this breakfast service as a token of how your queen appreciates men who are true to their deepest convictions." NOT MUCH TO CHOOSE FROM Travelers in Mesopotamia Must Be Easily Satisfied. An Englishwoman traveling in Mesopotamia tells this experience of her party: "The cook came in with a pleasing expression: 'What will you have for supper?' he asked. 'What can we have?' we answered, with the caution arising from long experience of limited possibilities. 'What you wish,' he said, with as much assurance and affability as if he was presenting a huge bill of fare. I knew what one could expect in these places. 'Get a fowl.' I said. 'There is not one left here,' he answered. 'Eggs, then,' I suggested, with the humor of desperation. 'No fowl, how eggs?' he answered with pitying superiority. 'Well, we will have what there is,' I said faintly. 'There is nothing,' he answered.' Parisian Dog School A school for dogs is the latest development of the educational movement. It has been established in Paris with the object of teaching, not letters, but politeness. The schoolroom is furnished with chairs, tables and rugs, to give the necessary tools. The dog pupils are trained to welcome visitors by jumping up, wagging the tail and giving a low bark. When the visitor leaves, the dog accompanies him to the door and hows his farewell by bending his head to the floor. He is trained likewise to pick up a handkerchief, glove or fan that has dropped and a rope, and then further to walk with "proud and prancing steps" when out with his mistress. An Infinite Giver. Think you, when the stars are glinting Or the moonlight's shimmering gleam With a coat of silvered sheen— With a coat of silvered sheen— Think you, then, that God the Painter queen of the earth That He will not hang another Of such beauty on the line? Think you, when the air is trembling With the birds' exultant song And the earth's trembling Strive the anthem to prolong— Think you, then, that their treasurer, Fills the earth with such sweet music; As shall never again be heard? He will never send a blessing But have greater ones in the earth And the earth's blessing Is an earnest of still more. If the earth seems full of glory If there is yet a better country, And the half has not cliffed Foster. In Hasbeesh Dellirium Not long ago a great number of table legs were unioned on a wharf at Alexandria, insigned to an interior point. In unloading the legs into a Nile skiff, a stewardess chanced to break one in two. Before long he was dancing about, stretching his arms over head, lifting his feet as high as his waist with every step, and muttering: "Let me have hell, too. I run of heaven; why should not my domain include hell also?" On examination it was found that about half of the table legs were hollow, and were filled with the green dust of heaesh, and the stewardess had helped himself liberally from the storehouse he had discovered. Fishermen Best Sailors. The French fisheries, with headquarters at St. Pierre and Miquelon, have been carried on under the bounty system since the year 1816. The reasons given why a bounty should be allowed are that the fisheries form a nursery for the navy, and thus the government is enabled to secure men for that branch of the service who are not only familiar with the sea, but also with experience in their business, are quick to think and act in times of emergency, the theory being that fishermen make the best sailors. Mounds in Tennessee. At the foot of the high bluffs of the Mississippi river bottoms, seven miles west of Lauderdale, Tenn., are several mounds which the old residents have always called graves of the Indians who inhabited this section many years ago. These mounds have always been the source of much speculation and wonder. It is believed that the mounds hold bodies of the prehistoric race known as the Mound Builders, which tradition says 'inhabited this country centuries ago. Millionis Spent for Tobacco.

Net. $454. By mail. $5.00. New York: G. P. Putnam's Sons. Political History of Slavery. by Wm. Henry Smith, is an elaborated story of the controversy over the slavery question from the early days of the 18th century to the place of the Reconciling Period in the United States. By Whitelaw Red, which tells of Mr. Smith's career and which gives quite an extended criticism of these two very instructive vol- strategists Von Molkke. The book might easily imagine that the revolting crucibles of the Revolution were again being counted in times and elsewhere throughout the country. The events which fed up to the war with Germany are thus described by the author: Bismark prepared the war, Napoleon III wanted it, the great bourgeois locust on. They might have stopped it by an arrest gesture. M. Thiers contented himself with a grimace. He in this war our certain ruin; he knew our terrible inferiority in everything; he could have Mr. Reid says: "This Political History that comes from fullness of knowledge that comes from the events from the inside as they occurred, from a lifelong familiarity with and study of American history, from access to much unpublished information, in the papers of President Hayes, from the state office held during a critical part of the period, and in constant personal In Chapter 1, the author says: "If there is one thing I clearly established it is that the Constitution, which formed the Constitution; who, recognizance with Christian civilization, inconsistency with Christian civilization, inconsistency for which the colonies had contended, and which constitute the basis of our Republic, which is the great charter a name so repulsive to free-perpetrient witnesses to the public sentiment of that day. There was no state feeling that it was injurious to society in no sense dependent upon sectional or state confidence; it was confidently expected: emancipation or Maryland, and it is not unreasonable to suppose that if there had been no inhilition would have followed in Delaware, Maryland, North Carolina, Kentucky and "Opposition to the institution of slavery arose from religious convictions as to its moral and religious policies. The resistance of those who with Mr. Jefferson condemned it because it impotent as his, or suicidious because as his source of political force; while that having a source in religious convictions played a third party. The Society of Friends led all other denominations in the employment of the Society of Friends, the Lloyd Garrison, Benjamin Lundy or Chas. of moral influence for the eradication of slavery, and not for wishing out outspoken utterances in the Puritan Baptist and Methodist ch-ches at an institution in Ohio, Kentucky and Tennessee. Some years ago one who had been conspicuous as a leader in the anti-slavery movement was called to the old-world faithfulness of current history in dealing with the genesis of modern abilitism, and the reunion of modern rejuvenation, and the reunion of modern rejuvenation, and the reunion of modern rejuvenation, and the reunion of modern rejuvenation, were stifled by the first Assyrian Association. The author of the writer who challenged the truth of history, clearly established the claims of Osborne, he mentioned before the other ends of the prison, and strongly over looked the claims of another who came was strikingly like that of Lundy—John Woolman, a friend, who was born in New Jersey about 1720. Then follows an account of his early life and his careless, slavery-like interest which led him to the anti-slavery sentiments. When about 26 years of age he visited North Carolina, where he sought to arouse the consequences of slavery. He was the first person who was the first siderations on the Keeping of Negroes. After his death in 1772, his journal, which was published, had a wide circulation. It shows that his life was given to the people of the country, and he was tragedious from colony to colony, preaching remonstrating and counseling. The author discusses with painstaking the "first roll of Moments: The Omnibust Bill," "Reveal the Nossous Compromise," and "the Nomination of Lincoln, and in their discussion exhibits a wealth of information and breadth of knowledge, which could only result from many years of study and contact with the leading men of those stirring times. open with a chapter on "The Outbreak of Wartime Wardens."

It was a war of giants; because many of those giants still survive its vicissitudes; they are still alive and never dead; never deadly breach"; its long and dread- ful marches; its Gettysburg and Chicka- fleph profoundly influenced the civilizations of the world; because its echoes still re- lived in the various activities of American life. Because of these things the author's writing with profit by any one and many indi- cents of the great strife which has hitherto unwritten, is brought forth by Mr. Hawes. One of the most interesting chapters in the history of the Confederacy toward the "Negro Soldier." The author tells us, that the matter was finally addressed by the mander favored the enlistment of black soldiers; that the matter was finally addressed by the mander favored the enlistment of Negro soldiers, was defeated by but one vote—that the Confederacy would bill authorizing the enlistment of Negro soldiers, was defeated by but one vote—that the Confederacy became so visible that the leaders were able to cause the desperate circumstances of the Confederacy to cause, a draft order was issued to force the black soldier to fight under the Confederacy. This made the Confederacy made effective, the fall of Richmond, and the flight of Jefferson Davis was at hand, and the especially interesting at under its banner. There are other very interesting objections to the author's views and natural, and the author has written a book. --- HISTORY OF THE COMMUNE OF 1871 History of the Commune of 1871. Translated from the French of Lissagaray by Eleanor Marx Aveling, New York International Publishing Co. History of the Commune of 1871, translated from the French of Lissagaray by Eleanor Marx Aveling, is a well written volume of history, dealing with one of those political convulsions: which have so frequently shook France to its foundations. The translator has performed the difficult part of preserving the peculiar epigrammatic and pointed style of all French prose, and of which Lissagaray appears to be a master. The descriptive art of the author never lags from the opening to the closing chapter of this book of extraordinary happenings. The Commune of 1871 was the culmination of French weakness and imbecility—the culmination of a criminal torpor—the rested upon those in authority, and which followed swiftly upon the heels of the prostration of the French by the wonderful armies under that prince of military strategists Von Molke. In reading certain chapters of this book on the history of the revolution, I uncover crucificities of the Revolution again being enacted in Paris and elsewhere. The events which led up to the war in Germany are thus described by the author. "Bismark prepared the war, Napoleon II hit the great bourgeois looked on. The might hit the carnest gesture. M. Thiers contented himself with a grimace. He saw in this moment the loss of his infertility in everything; he could have united the Left, the tiers-parti, the four-hands have made palpable to them the folly of the strength of opinion, have said to the Tuileries, to Paris if needs be, "War is impossible; we shall combat it as treasured." "Poor France! Who will save thee? the years contended for thee with the Empire. While the upper classes sell the nation for the sake of the Empire, seek to feather their nests under the empire, a handful of men, without arms, powerful despot. On the one hand young powerful despot. On the one hand young give over to the people, faithful children, 1783, resolved to continue the work of the empire, to enginemen unite for the study and conquest of the rights of labor. In vain the emperor, by their forces to seduce the workingmen." The author then follows up with a descent into the contending factions which have forth in all the horrors of the Commune. Paris, Marselles, Toulouse and Narbonne have a history of human slaughter houses, in this fratricial struggles which for madness and unrest have been a part of the history of the human family. In the 19th century, many of these have hitherto been obscure to the student of that period are brought forward by the work which considered either from a litterary or a historical achievement of no inconsiderable merit. --- MONEY, BANKING, AND FINANCE.

This volume is designed especially as a text-book for Commercial High College and equally suited for the general reader. It is a brief, practical treatise on the theory of Money, Banking and the Principles of Finance. The author describes the best banking practice of the time and the methods of both the topics taken up. This is the first book of its scope, filling a place between the best banking practice of the time and the works on the theory and history of money and banking. Dr. Bolles is an essential principle in a clear and concise manner. This book will appeal to those who are engaged, and to these themselves to the business of banking, to those who are thus engaged, and to these who are thus paying the history and theories of banking. --- HENRY WARD BEECHER.

New York: International Library Publishing Co. Recent events in Russia have given this book a peculiar timeliness. It is a translation from the French, and its pages must have been written many months before those outbreaks gave a most painful interest to the Jewish question. The author is himself a Hebrew, and subject to all the odium that is implied in the title to his book, but this circumstance does not seem to have biased his judgment in the forming of his opinions. The case is certainly stated with great candor, and the blame is distributed with fairness. The fault is found to be not all on the part of the Gentile world, but the Israelite himself is charged with having brought much of the trouble to his people by manifest shortcomings. The treatment given the subject is historical, and the relations between Jews and Gentiles are traced from the earliest times. Perhaps the most important learn how much of proselytizing has been carried on reciprocally between the Hebrews and their neighbors. From this perspective, the book of Leviticus that Jews would perhaps, willingly admit. The author does not believe in race or gender, but rather the body of Israel on language, shape of the head, or color of the skin. So long, however, as the author points out, that there is superiority on the one part and inferiority on the other part in the Hebrew language and Gentile as well as between black and white. There are too many illustrative examples of this country, and this book can be read with profit by many who are called upon to decide questions arising here. FORMS OF ENGLISH POETRY.

Howard added another feather to his cap and at the same time saved the life of Mr. John S. Mills last week. Mr. Mills went to one of the first class drug stores and had a prescription refilled, he then went back to his place of business on the floor. He was spoonful of the mixture, according to directions. He noticed an unfamiliar taste of the mixture but did not think much about it until in a few minutes he felt peculiar sensations all over his body. He managed to get to a drug clerk who had not known what poison he had taken they could not furnish the antidote. He then went to a nearby doctor who worked on him for two hours when he was able to be taken home in a carriage. After reaching home his symptoms improved. Dr. Howard who worked on him for several hours and finally got him so he could walk off the effects of the poison. He was, however, unable to resume his business for over four days, but is now about to get back to work. He credits of saving his life. It seems some sort of poison was put into the prescription by mistake. CALL FOR CONVENTION Of Women's Clubs to Form a State Federation, Auxiliary to Nat. Ass'n.

In most cases the civilization is somewhat backward marriage is apparently regarded as the necessary fate of every woman. This is so much the case in Russia that there, when the parents of a girl see her getting on towards old-madhood without any prospect, of marriage, they take her abroad for a time. After a year or two she will reappear among her old friends as a widow, and though they may suspect that her lamented husband never existed outside the imagination, the action is useful in giving her a certain status in society and enabling her to avoid the mortification of the "unappropriated blessing." In Bermuda, on the other hand, girls are often prevented from marrying by the law of the land, which decrees that a woman who marries a foreigner shall not only lose what property she may happen to have, but shall also become incapable of inhering any. Sometimes an old girl can give her rights for love's sake; but as the rule of the charms of penniless damselfies are not sufficient for men to desire them for wives, and therefore many of them are doomed to spinsterhood by the law. Workers Who Make Dyes From Coal Tar Have Long Lives. The best and healthiest trade in the world is that of dye-making from coal tar. There is no manual work that comes near it, for tar and the smell of it is the best of all tonics and tis- ue-builders. The average life of a tar-worker comes out at eighty-six years. The possibility is clearer now. NOW IS THE TIME HOME BRAND CANNED GOODS. "ECONOMICAL TO BUY." Be sure to ask for GRIGGS, COOPER & CO "ECONOMICAL TO BUY." "SATISFACTORY TO USE."

Malignant diseases are almost unknown in aniline dye factories, and even in epidemics the workers suffer very little. And there is nothing like a tar-works for keeping off influenza. Eighty-six years is a marvelous average' when we remember that the average length of life for the whole population is only forty-nine. First University Curriculum. The first appearance of anything approaching a university curriculum, said Prof. E. A. Gardner in an address at University college, London, occurred in ancient Athens during its most flourishing period. The "ophebic bask" as well as the undergraduates were organized on a military system. The university calendar was published annually. It was inscribed on marble slabs, and set up in the market place of the city. The slabs contained a complete list of the matriculated undergraduates of each year, and were documents of the highest importance, for all the political and civil rights of an Athenian citizen depended upon the appearance of his name on that register. As the Dream Go Singing By. Bring no lights, but raise the curtain. Through the room: its glow uncertain. All the day's long wound doth heat. What is the light? Come, heart's treasure, cease to sigh. To my fancy fire and fuel What though noonday sun was burning? See! The gloaming brings the peace! Still the hungry heart's dull yearning. For the drear day battles cease. Though we're beggared, in the gloaming We may build our castles high. King and queen throughout them roaming As the dreams go singing by. Give no thought to vain to-morrows—Fancy land knows naught of time. Foolish heart that sighs and sorrows, Deaf to call of fairy chime! Just to linger thus for aye, dear—Fancy land and you and I. Just to love, and hope, and pray, dear. As the dreams go singing by. -Menny Maud Hanff in New York Press. Ingenious Old-Time Clock. In the town of Schramberg, in the Black forest, there is an alarm clock which warned sleepers it was time to get up when Charles II was king of England—it was made in 1680, and is an ingenuous piece of workmanship. In form it resembles a lantern in which is a lighted candle, the wick of which is automatically clipped every minute by a pair of scissors. The candle is slowly opened by the man controlling the mechanism of the clock; and at the required hour of waking an alarm is sounded, and at the same time the movable sides of the lantern fall and the room is flooded with light.

On every side of us, from our feet to the golden distance far away, the world-stretched mountains, peak upon peak, as thick as jinks in a Chinese harbor, and range beyond range inexhaustible; no sounds of mortal life came up inside the rock, while the river, gentian blue, wound silent in transparent pools below. The panorama in Japan on a splendid summer day is impossible to describe to an English reader who has not been in the East, for such a one will read between the lines the local color in which he was bred, instead of the wholly different atmosphere that heightens the charm of the picture there—the brilliant, luminous air which invest our eye with telescopic power and brings the whole landscape to our feet; while a soft suspicion of silky haze seems to float a halo round each foliage-hidden hill. Switzerland, too, is a mountain world, but. small compared with this; the entire content from Innsbruck to Geneva only one-fourth the length of this single island of Japan—a thousand miles of continuous romance. And the quality of the sunshine is what separates, by a very wide gulf, a summer's day in these latitudes from one in more northerly Europe—Cornhill Magazine. RUSKIN'S KINDNESS OF HEART Impulsive Generosity Characteristic of Great Writer. One Cay, walking near Radley's attention was caught by a group of little girls playing in the road and he went and talked to them. One of them specially attracted his attention. He asked her why she was playing in the dust. Had she no garden at home? Did she love flowers? What was her name? And she replied modestly with wonder in her eyes. On reaching home he gave orders to his solicitor to look out for and buy a cottage with a garden in Radley and have a deed of gift made out in the little girl's name, which was done accordingly, and she full of wonder, with her astonished parents, entered at once into possession of it.—kuskin in Oxford. A Piece of Mother's Cake. She was a charmin' little wife. To make her home with pleasure wife And win sweet words from him. But often she was charming things to bake. Hed sigh and say how much he'd like A piece of mother's cake. She wept and almost went insane For, do the best she might. He kept his plains. That robbed her of delight. She knew her coat was sweet, He kept his heart would break. To think that still he sighed to have A piece of mother's cake. What could she do? At last she sent And had his mother come. And had his stuff come. But she, ah! she kept "mum." He ate a piece—and she to break; The doctors said 'twas suicide By eatin' mother's cake. Down where the grasses gently wave The quiet mounds among. He told her that he would grave Of him who died so young. Go there, you husbands who complain, From him who was so sadly slain By eatin' mother's cake. He protested Herald. By eatin' mother's lead. —"Hank Spink," in Boston Herald. Marketable Snake Venom. For a risky and exciting and profitable—if you survive—mode of earning a livelihood, a new Australian industry can be confidently recommended. It is the collection of snake venom, a substance, that, like radium, is valued by the grain. A pound of it is said to be worth £5,000. It is in active demand by chemists. It is obtained from three species—the death adder, the brown adder and the tiger snake. The reptiles must be caught uninjured, and it goes without saying that the industry "demands considerable knowledge and skill in capture." Tiger snakes are the best, for they carry most venom. Snakes are still numerous in the Australian bush. Two Arrogant Nations. Japanese call their country "Nippon," or sun's origin, indicating its position in the extreme east. But when they speak of the whole empire they call it "Dai Nippon," which means "Great Nippon." It is a not uninteresting reflection that off the eastern and western boundaries of the greatest mass of land in the world there exists an insignificant group of islands, inhabited in each case by a people of very mixed origin and very marked characters, each of which expresses its defiance of that geographical insignificance by the same means—"Dai Nippon" and "Great Britain." Not Personal. Speaking of preachers Dean Pigou, after deprecating personal allusions from the pulpit, quotes as an example the story of a Scotch parson who preached a sermon against the sin of intemperance in the course of which he said: "I don't mean, brethren, to be personal—it is a great mistake" to be personal in the pulpit—but if there should happen to be an old bald-headed gentleman, late in her majesty's service, sitting in the northwest gallery of this church, let him solemnly tak' it to himself." Medicine as "Wine." Col. Anstruther Thomson, an aged Englishman, says in a volume of reminiscences that at a school which he attended as a boy the students were regularly dosed twice a year. "We were marched up to Carmait's desk two and two. Two glasses of a horiz compound of bark on the desk, and an officer stood on each side. We had to drink the dose, turn to the usher and out our tongues to show that he had swallowed it! This was charged in our account. Wine, 5 shil- KABO CORSETS NO BRASS EYELETS Design, Accomplishment.
