Dyspepsia: How to Avoid It." by Joseph
health published by Presley Blakiston at
Philadelphia. It is a very sensible and valu-
able little book For sale in this city by Judd
the bookseller.
mo Laggards We," by Ross Raymond, is
a lively, interesting, and not too soft love
story. Some well described characters are
introduced and an idle hour can be very
pleasantly bestowed upon the book. Pub
lished by George w. Harlan, New York, and
for sale in this city by Judd the bookseller.
'Demosthenes With Extracts from his
Orations and a Critical Discussion of the
Trial on the Crown" by l.. Bredif, trans
lated by Mr.. J. MacMahon, is book well
worth reading NJ Bredif begins by explain
ing the character of Greek oratory and the
political conditions which made it influential
to degree of which we can hardly form an
adequate conception. The orator was to the
people of classic Greece what the newspaper
is to the public of to-day. He it was who
gave utterance to popular feeling, and point
ed out the way which it was necessary to
tohO- AAiSheAJ AOAd1AlS AOAAOoeASAASo
orations can only be appreciated and under
stood by those who have familiar and intel
igent knowledge of the circumstances under
which they were delivered NJ. Bredif is care
full properly to introduce his citations, and to
show the occasion, the purpose and the effect
of each speech upon which he undertakes to
comment. He also presents powerfully
drawn pen-picture of Demosthenes as man,
as citizen, as statesman and as an orator,
and devotes critically analytical chapter to
the celebrated "Trial ON the Crown" in
which his comments attest careful research
and scholarly acumen. Published by S. G.
Griggs & Co, Chicago, and for sale in this
city by C. r. Coan.
"a Matter of Fact Girl, by Theodore Gift,
the author of ''Pretty Miss Bellew," ETC., is
aided to the Leisure Hour series published
by Henry Holt & Co., of New York. 1t is a
quiet, pleasantly told love story, not dealing
with earls and dukes and high and mighty
people generally, but with plain, ordinary
folks. The story possesses a very good plot
and presents some excellent character draw
ing. There are some delicate bits of pathos,
and occasionally the story becomes dramatic
