Probably no child's story written In America has
achieved such wide success and is so likely 10 take
its place among the classics, "Hans Brinker, or
The Silver skates,r by MIS-. Mary Mapes Dodge. 1t
has gone through many editions IN this country aud
England. and has been transla' ed into Dutch Rus
sian, German, Italian and French-the FIRE nch
translation having received prize OF 1900 francs
at the French Academy. Mrs. Dodge, who In edit
ing St. Nicholas has still more firmly established
her popularity In the hearts OF American children,
has Of late been engaged upon q new stOry-the
nrst since "Hans BrinkeT"-whch will appear In
st. Nicholas for the coming year. IL Is entitled
"Donald and Dorothy" and, Ike its predecessor, II
deals with live BOYS and girls, but this time Ameri-
ca, not Holland, Is the scene OF action. The story
opens 10 the Christmas g. Nchol as with chapter
"in which none OF the characters appear"

ostrich has a long and tender neck, and when
the tuck is kept against the delicate organ he
soon beats retreat, and is sometimes exas-
perated to perfect madness by thus being baf-
fled.
A hen of average breeding qualities will
produce from twelve to fourteen eggs laying
every alternate day. II Matched in the incu-
bator they do not require much care except
to turn them once day-as the birds them
selves do in natural hatching--and to see that
the temperature is even. When Matched by
natural means no labor on the part Of the far
mer is required except to feed the birds and
to guard them as much as possible from their
enemies, the jackal, the wolf and the Wild
cat These astute plunderers evidently cs
teen the ostrich egg most highly, judging
from the skill, patience and daring which
they manifest in obtaining it, and many
interesting anecdotes can be related of the
'stratagems and spoils' incident to their
struggles. The cock bird does about two
thirds of the sitting, as he relieves the hen
about four or five in the afternoon and re-
mains on the nest till eight or zen next morn
ing. This is one of many instances of Prov
idential design in the instinct of these birds,
for the hen being gray, is less exhausted by
the heat of the day and less easily discover
ed and the cock, whose black plumage is
less easily perceived by enemies at night, is
stronger and better able to protect the nest
against the enemies that prowl at night. In
cubation being accomplished in the same man
ner as with an ordinary fowl, breeding is an
easily acquired knowledge, and many far
mers farm only with that special object, SELL
ing their birds soon after Matching.
On coming out of the shell an ostrich
chicken is worth about $25; when he is a
month old he brings from S35 to $50; when
six months old perhaps 1925, and when fully
grown and proved to be good breeders pair
of them are worth from 1915 to $500. As
they develop in size thus rapidly it may be
imagined that spectators make good deal
by buying up cocks and selling them again
after a few months keeping. OF course,
young birds often die, whole troops some
times being swept away by some disease mys-
terious to the farmer, but generally arising
from overlooking or sanitary ignorance, and
there is much risk in the speculation yet
where their food is so simple and cheap for
tunes are often made in this branch Of the
business

4 HISTORY OF THE JETTIES At THE MOUTH
OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER. By E L. COR
THELL, C. E. New York: John Wiley Il Sons.
Like almost all great engineering I'M
dertakings, the history of the Mississippi jettes
has been one of earnest and persistent struggle,
based upon an unwavering confidence in ultimate
success on the part of its originator and his friends
The courage and resources of Captain James B.
Eads and his associates were severely tested, and
during the whole period of the inception promo
ton, and completion of the work he was har
raised and baff1ed not alone by the opposition of
men who acted upon sincere convictions contrary
to his own, but also by the jealousy Of persons
whose official position gave them much power for
evil. Captain Eads can now afford to look back
upon those contests without bitter feelings while
the historian has no other duty than to discuss
such matters in so much as they affected the pro-
greSs of the work. He cannot ignore them if they
have given rise to serious delays or caused modif-
cations in the original plans This was actually
the result of the controversy between a number of
members of the United States Engineers and Cap
tain Eads and the history of the struggle is prop
erly included in the work of Mr.. Corthell.
The book recites the history Of the jetty enter
prise in q clear, popular way, well calculated TO
attract both the professional and nom professional
reader No better man could be selected for this
work than Mr. Corthell, as he was chief assistant
and resident engineer during the construction. In
writing the book he has very cleverly succeeded
in meeting the wishes of those who desire only to
acquire general knowledge, as well as of those
who seek more detailed and specific information,
based upon special reports and official documents.
The latter are added in large number of ap-
pendiees, twenty-seven in all, occupying one
third the space, and containing probably as much
as one half of the matter printed
After an Introductory chapter touching upon the
commercial importance of the valley of the Mis-
sissippi and IFS tributaries, and detailed desrp-
ton of its delta Mr. CortheH passes to review of
previous attempts to improve navigation at the

The following observations on the transactions in

the banking house of H. D.. Cooke jr, 81 Co., 1892 Z
street, Washington. d. c.:
The market to-day has been but repetition of that
ofthe past few days, there being material pressure
of any kind brought to bear it, the only influence
acting being the vague rumOrS concerning the result
fthe deliberations of the Cabinet the national
bank question. At the time of writing understand
that the decision against returning the legal tenders
which were withdrawn. The banks Will be allowed
however, to redepOst the same bonds they withdrew
providing there has been but an assignment on
them, and take out circulation. This IS rather
a favorable compromise, for if the banks
were obliged to follow out the usual course
they would have to take out new bonds for
their old ones TO their crculation), the
new bonds would bear higher numbers and con-
sequently be called 1t is possible that this
news may affect the market tomorrow it being too
late to be felt before the close to-day good deal of
that 1t Is settled the market will so stand on its own
bottom The rurlor of possible extra session of
Congress affected the market slightly yesterday. 1t
is believed, however, by those well informed that
there is scarcely possibility of latter events
curing. Market closed from 4 to 2per up, with
exception of fractional declines in Northern Pacific
