HISTORY OF INDIAN MISSIONS ON THE PACIFIC
CoAsT-OREGoN, WASHINGTON, AND IDAHO.
By Rev. Myron Eels, missionary of the
American Missionary Association, with an
introduction by Rev. G. II. Atkinson, D D.
limo, cloth, 800 PIP, illustrated, $1.25. Pub
lished by the American Sunday School Union,
1922 Chestnut street, Philadelphia and 10
Bible House, New York.
This history is a plain statement of facts by
one who is a native Of the region about which
he writes, resident in it for over thirty five
years, and missionary for about eight years
1t is a true narrative, full of interest, showing
how I" the coming of those missionary men and
women and children over the plains and noun
tains and round by the ocean, and their quiet,
patient, selfdenying work for the Indian the
trader and the trapper, the lonely traveller,
and the scattered settlers in order to establish
Christian homes, schools, and churches, were
the real formative agencies of what is best and
noblest in our present society and selfgovern-
ment. The wandering hunter and trapper
failed, ard the specializing colonist also failed
The mere trader proved poor builder of com.
mcnwealths. The travelling explorer was only
reporter. 1t remained for the missionary to
be the centre Of permanent life, out of which
might grow the future state"
This history affords information on points
which every citizen is interested in. 1t shows
how vast portion Of the Union was not only
acquired but preserved

This neat little volume is an abridgment OF
the admirable commentary of Dean Howson and
Canon Spence to the Revised Version, with ad-
ditions by the editor. The additions include
the Introduction, several Excursuses, the Prac
teal Notes. and Textual Comments. 1t will
meet want in our popular and shorter COM
mentaries on the New Testament. Not that we
have not already some which are very good,
but we need just such volume as this on the
Acts from the best scholarship of the present
day.

Edited by DR.. j. W. Palmer. Square Octave,
with 900 Illustrations, and double Index. PIP.

good & Co. 1882,
The object of this beautiful volume is to fur
nish family help to the study of the Bible, by
reproducing the daily life of the Jews in ancient
times The work is most profusely illustrated,
and the type large and clear The topics treated
may be gathered from such titles Habita-
tons and Homes" Furniture and Utensils, T"
Marriage. Widowhood. and Divorce" En-
ployments and Servants" Dress and Orna-
ments," 1.-The Toilet and the Bath" Flocks
and Herds" Music: Sacred and Secular"
"Seed time and Harvest" etc., etc.
The Rev. j. P. Newman, D. D., author of
Thrones and Palaces of Babylon and Nineveh"
says of it.
II found Home-Life in the Bible 10 deeplv
interesting in matter and in style, that l could
not cease It's perusal till had read the volume
through As a work on the inner life OF Bible
times. it ranks with Thompsons Land and the
Book one of the most popular books ever pub
lished of its kind. There is, in the Hon e-Life,

TRANSPORTS the reader to the ancient household in

Palestine, and mingled freely in the everyday
life of its people, whose customs and habits have
been handed down from generation to genera
ton through three millenniums, and l confess
the pleasure you have given me by the vivid
revival of impressions and recollec:ions of other
years.
The illustrations, so abundant and admirable,
are not the least of the many excellences of the
work. II should N IN the hbrdYu of eUerV nun
ister and Sunday School in the land. shall
commend it to my own church."
Our own examination of the work impresses
us very favorably. The study of the customs
and practices of the Jews is necessary to an in
telligent understanding of the sacred books, and
the present volume is SO attractively gotten up
that it is well calculated to find readers among
persons who do not pretend to any great learn
ing while it seems fully up to the demands of
the student

The following commentator of this little vol

D. D., of Belfast, author of the commentaries on

The reasoning is clear, moderate, and con-
vincing. The kindly tone and the absence Of
all personalities are well fitted to disarm oppo-
sition and secure a respectful hearing. 1t will
be of much use in softening the asperity of party
feeling and generating broader and more char
liable view of this point OF debate among Chris

The Fireworks Question.

There Is no doubt in the world that the
promiscuous use Of fireworks on the Fourth
of July is the greatest nuisance the country
groans under, to say nothing of the danger
thereby incurred; yet, all things considered,
the City Council acted wisely last evening in
postponiLg the ordinance restricting the sale
and use of these dangerous explosives. For
there is business consideration in
volved IN this question, which is par
ticularly pertinent just now. The
wholesale dealers laid in their stock of fire
works some months ago, and have disposed
of them TO the retailers, most Of whom would
seriously feel the loss If they were prevented
from selling to the patriotic public. To pass
a prohihitory ordinance at this time would
leave these people with worthless stock of
goods on hand, for which they would be
required to pay and from which they would
derive no revenue whatever. In this respect
the wholesalers, having disposed of their
stock to the retailers, would lose little oil
nothing, but the poor retailers would be
compelled to bear the entire burden of the
change. s''sv HFf.r
1t would be a good move, however, for
City Council to start at once, and pass a
strict prohibitory ordinance on the first
meeting after the Fourth of July. This
would give ample notice to all concerned,
wholesalers and retailers alike, not to lay in
further supplies of fireworks, and future
national holidays would be unmarked by
the noise and pandemonium that in the past
have destroyed the peace and threatened the
safety Of the city, and made it a "howling
wilderness" as far as the personal comfort
of our people was concerned.

REPORTER of the New York Star while
searching for cheap restaurant-it seems
to be the chief struggle of a New York news
paper man to keep the demands of his
stomach within the limit of his finances
stumbled across hash house where the bill
of fare comprised cup of coffee for one
cent, corned beef and cabbage for fotfr
cents, mutton chops for four cents, and
other articles in like proportion. The
charm of this little romance, however, is
lost from the fact that the reporter failed to
announce that he took advantage of these
slaughter house prices to enjoy good
square meal 1t is encouraging to see such
an onslaught on the prevailing high prices
of meats, but if the result of reduction is a
meal that New York newspaper man
shudders at, people will prefer to pay extor-
tionate prices or live on purely vegetable
diet for awhile longer.

GOVERNOR CORNELL of New York, yes
terday vetoed the Elevated Railway tax bill,
for the reason that it relieved the conf
panies from the payment Of Just taxes
already due, and was unfair in its provisions
for future taxation in that it Disseminated
too much in the companies favor. These
are, apparently, sound reasons, and if they
are fully sustained by the facts in the case
the Governors veto was a just and righteous
action.

CONGRESSMAN MARTIN of this State de,
serves credit for the efforts he is making to
secure some handsome appropriations for
the rivers of Delaware. Our streams are
not mythical water-courses, but real rivers,
and material aids to the commerce of the
Delaware bay. They need improvement,
and as this State has paid mil
lion dollars per year for more than
fifteen years to the Federal government,
and received but little aid in return, it is
but just that portion of this vast sum of
money wrung from the labor of our people
should be expended for our local benefit
Senators Bayard and Salisbury will look after
the matter in the Senate, and it is altogether
probable that not only the Christiana, but
the important streams of Kent and Sussex
will be materially improved through the
efforts of our Representatives at Washington

ACCORDING to the generally accepted
Republican idea negroes are fit for nothing
but the most menial employment, although
they are expected to regularly and willingly
vote the Republican ticket at every election.
A writer in the morning organ, whose COM
munication is published elsewhere, gives full
and jubilant expression to this idea, and
while approving Mayor-elect Wales
determination to appoint no negroes
on the police force, recommends that they
be put at work cleaning the streets. Thi.
notion will hardly be palatable to some OF
the influential negro politicians who have
been aspiring to positions on the force, a
they consider themselves peg or two abov,
street cleaning and amply fitted for police
duty. However, it is too late for them t.
kick now, as the men who profited by thei
votes on election day have no further us
for them, and do not hesitate to tel
them plainly that they are only fit for clean
ing the streets and like humble labor.
