Men are at a loss how to invest
their savings for their families should
they be taken from them. III may be
robbed of bonds, and cheated out OF
stocks. Real estate goes down; mort
cages depreciatc. Is it not safer, wiser
and every way better, TO do all you can
for the proper culture Of your children?
In their well-stored, well-trained minds
they have an investment which no
Boar Of directors can vote away
When the crash comes and makes a
wreck of the millionaire, they have a
working capital left.

-Creasy's "Decisive Battles of the
World" is an extremely interesting
volume narrating the history of the
fifteen decisive battles of the world,
those few battles of which a contrary
event would have essentially varied
the drama of the world in all its sub
sequent scenes, is highly esteemed by
all readers of history. 1t has long
time been on Harper's list as one Of
their standard books, at the price of
81 so. Now it is issued in very
handsome cloth-bound volume, by the
American Book Exchange. New York.
at the nominal price of 80 cents.
"A very elegant little volume, en-
titled "The Choice of Books" by
Charles f. Richardson, is just issued
by the American Book Exchange,
Tribune building, New York, at the
very low price of % cents; also a
cheap paper edition at the nominal
cost of FIVE cents. 1t will delight all
who love good books, and in It's wise
suggestions will be greatly helpful to
all who want help in choosing the best
books. The volume is remarkably
rich in striking quotations from the
worlds most famous authors and
thinkers, from Aristotle to Emerson
1t is a real literary treasure house.
If an editor copies anything, he
is lazy. If he speaks of things as they
are, people get angry. If he CLOSES
or snooths down the rough points, he
is bribed If he calls things by their
proper names, he is unfit for the posi-
ton of editor. If he does not furnish
readers with jokes, he is an idiot; if he
does, he Is rattlehead, lacking sta
bility. IF he condemns the wrong, he
Is a good fellow, but lacks discretion;
if he lets wrongs and injuries go I'M
mentioned, he is coward. If he ex-
poses a public man, he does it to graft
fly spite, is a tool of the clique, or be-
longs to the "outs." IF he INDUCES
in personalities, he Is a blackguard; if
he does not, his paper Is dull and IL
sipid.

curing for one of these sterling lectures,
Bishop Quintard on the subject the
Cathedrals of England" lie is caught
on the wing, as it were, on one of his
rapid trips through the State, on coca
son of his visiting St. James Parish
in discharge of his duties in this town.
The theme of the lecture, the English
Cathedrals will be novel to many, and
is one in which history and poetry
combine to give an absorbing interest
Among these ancient piles fingers the
romance of the far past, while 1t will
interest very many even more to know
that their fretted roofs now in our own
day, often reGche to the sea of song
which comes up from vast congregation
of the common people who pour to-
gether there to praise and pray and
hear the cold old story, in its simple
lily. Bishop Quintard can speak with
the warmth of an eyewitness, hav-
ing visited many of the Cathedrals
in person and tho Bishops hap
piness in telling what he has seen and
felt will insure an eloquent and most
interesting Lecture, and one which
cannot fail to please, instruct and i'm
prove all who hear it, young and old.
There will be also the usual interesting
and enjoyable preliminary programme
of vocal and instrumental music, on
the occasion.
