The American Tract Society sends out a
book from the Riverside Press, Hurd &
Houehton, with the title, '..The Metaphors of
St. Paul, and Companions of ST. Paul" The
author is Dr.. John A. Howson, Dean of Ches-
ter England, already known by works here
tofore published. 1t has an introduction by
Prof. II. b. Hackett, d. ID. The work is de-
signed to make the metaphors Of st. Paul bet
ter understood, by giving information to the
reader or student in relation to the military
and agricultural usages of the Greeks and
Romans, their style of agriculture, and the
contests of the gymnasium and stadium

earnest and religious spirit For sale at the

One of the publications recently from the
press, which will require little effort to bring
it into notice, is one published by the Harper
Brothers, entitled "Woman's Worth and
Worthlessness The Complement to New
Atmosphere" by Gail Hamilton. This is a
woman's vigorous, earnest protest againt Civ
ing woman the right to vote, the hardest hit
that the advocates of woman suffrage have
yet had or probably will have. After this
heresy in the feminine ranks, upon the suf-
frage question, and outright rebellion against
the leadership Of Mrs. Livermore and friends,
the masculines may rest undisturbed about
the ballot, we suppose. The attack is keen
and unsparing. Horace North has the book
for sale.
Harper Brothers publish volume with the
title, "Gentle Measures in the Training OF
the Young" by Jacob Abbott. 1t is intended
to teach the principles on which a firm paren-
tai authority may be established and main
tanned, without violence or anger, and the
RICH, development of the moral and mental
capacities be promoted by methods in harmo-

of the juvenile mind. Every parent and
teacher of youth ought to have it. Horac e
