Topics of the Time. Social Problems.
Edited by Titus Munson Coan. New York:
q. T. Putnam's Sons; Portland Loring,
Short 4 Harmony. Among the many nov
elites in published works this strikes us with
especial favor-the plan of collecting, prin-
cipally from leading English and Continen-
tai journals, essays upon questions of the
day and giving them to the public in cheap
form but with large print and clear paper.
The first number is on social problems and
contains eight papers, among which are

Sinners and Saints. A Tour Across the
States, and Round Them With Three
Months Among the Mormons. By Phi
Robinson, Author Of Under the Sea. (Bos-
ton: Roberts Brothers.) Mr.. Robinson, in
his Sinners and Saints, has made very en-.
tertaining volume. This book is something
quite remarkable, for-ft has both wit and
pathos in abundance, combined with power
full description and much solid information.
Added to this is a charm of style, an indie.
scribable something, which is very captivat.
ing. The author has a keen eye for the lu-
dicrous, much freshness and vivacity. and
in that all the qualities which go to make q
literary treat. 1t is pleasure to read an
Englshman's book about America which is
written with so much good nature. Mr..
Robinson is SO kindly in his little dashes Of
satire or criticism that we can easily laugh
with him. and feel neither disgraced no.
hurt h{ anything he says; and there is not a
line of unjust structure but plenty of hearty
praise and good will expressed whenever
there is an opportunity for it.
The Pail Mall Gazette says of Mr.. Robin
son, he "belongs to that school of pure lit.
erary essayists whose types are to be found
in Lamb and Christopher North and Oliver
Wendell Holmes, but who seem to have
died out for the most part with the preset
entific age" Mr.. Robinson in describing
his travels never wearies one with too much
detail, and yet nothing escapes his keen OBJ
seryation. He has a wonderful knack al
pen-pictures, wildly portrayed with a few
light strokes, and his versatility is remarka

He discusses the Chinese, whom he think.
are "self-made men, at any rate they d.
not seem to have been made by anyone wht
knew how to do it properly, and the Chi
nese question" in one breath, disposing very
satisfactorily of both in few words. Hi
three months in Utah give one much infor
nation and insight; but few, probably
would agree with his conclusions in relation
to the Mormons, and look so leniently upon
the faults and follies of this people. Mr.
Robinson takes surface view of the whole
matter apparently; and yet he may be quit,
right in his judgment as to the wisest course
for the United States Government to pur
sue for the suppression of polygamy.
However Mr.. Robinson's readers NAV dis.
agree with some of his opinions, they will
all confess him to be one of the most de
lightful humorists of the day, with highly
cultivated mind and delicate and fertile
fancy.

Land and Labor in the United States.
BY William Goodwin Moody. New York;
Charles Scrjbners Sons; Portland: Lor-
ing, Short & Harmon. This book is
worthy of attentive reading and careful con
sideration. 1t is thoughtful and suggestive,
and contains much food for grave reflection.
1t is full of facts and of reliable statistics.
II treats great and difficult subject, the la
Dor problem in the United States, with evil
dent apprehensons of danger to the future
of the country. 1t discusses the subject in
connection with the use of machinery in ag-
riculture, the Bonanza and tenant farms.
railroad grants, machinery Ia textiles, ma
chinery in printing, the effects OF the war on
labor and wealth, the currency, foreign aud
domestic trade, the six hour law, the gospel
of relaxation, and industrial redistribution.
Mr.. Moody's theory is that the present re-
lations of labor to capital tend to produce
great wealth and extreme poverty, to make
the rich richer and the poorer, and that the
only source of nations prosperity is Soon
slant work for all, with liberal wages" If
political power is constantly stealing from
the many to the few, in the matter of wealth
accumulation property is constantly being
stolen by the few from the many. To see
the great inequalities In society, aud to com
prehend the difficulties surrounding the la
Dor question is easy, but how to cure the
evils of the system is most difficult
Whether or not the author of this book
has discovered remedy for these evils ad-
mits of serious doubt. 1t is well that such
book as this should appear at the present
time, as it will lead to a discussion of this
subject, which can but result in good, and
may lead to a wise solution of the labor
problem.

Books and How to Use Them. BY J. C.
Van Dyke. New York: Fords, Howard &
Hurlbut; Portland: Loring, Short & Har-
monl. This little manual, intended for the
use of students, will be found of value to
the general reader as well. Its suggestions
are clear and concise and withal prscscal.
Mr.. Van Dyke especially advocates system
in notwithstanding bv objects and at regu-
lar hours. Ana ne .gly condemns, but
none too strongly, .otle immortality in
books-books in which, under a general
harmonious tone grace of manner and ele-
gance of language, the poison is so concealed
as to be>unperceived by the young reader.
The chapters on The Public Library and
How to Use 1t, and on photography, are
particularly to be commended. An Appen-
dix gives good list of reference books.

Tiger Lily and Other Stories. BY Julia
Schayer. New York: Charles Scribner's
Sons; Loring, Short & Harmony This book
will have local interest for Portland people
from the fact that it was written by daugh-
ter OF the Rev. Zenas Thompson, late of
Woodfords. Mrs. Schayer resides in Wash
ington. At the time of their publication in
magazines her stories attracted much atten-
ton, and they now appear in prettily
bound volume. The narrative is condensed
and dramatic in its style, and the stories are
all pathetic. The most striking among them
is entitled Molly. The talent displayed by
this author is of an unusual order and she
is to be congratulated upon her literary sue
cess.

Ancient Classics The Commentaries OF
Cesar. BY Anthony Trollope. New York
John B. Alden; Portland; Loring, Short &
Harmony The name of the author of this
little history of history is a guarantee of
its goodness, and indeed it is perfect in its
way. In convenient form the student
finds here clear, brief, most interesting
account of the writings of Caius Julius Ca-
sar, "the greatest name in history''-those
writings which described the wars in Gaul
and the Civil War, and covered a period
reaching from IS to AZ B. c., which is as
late as Caesars own account extends.
We are told that "the author of this little
yolume' was especially anxious not to be
thought to have made an attempt at writing
history" This, to be sure, does not prevent
our recognizing the wit and humor of the
great novelist, throwing modern ilumina-
ton upon the old classic without in the least
blurring its light of other days.

AT each corner stands beautifully modelled
female figure (life size) holding a delicately
constructed fan, and wearing a wig Of real
hair. This is to be regularly dressed by the
court barber once week. On the great po-
tentate getting into bed the weight of his
body sets certain machinery in motion, the
effect of which is that, so long as his Royal
Highness enjoys his horizontal refreshments
the silver maidens gently fan the sleeper
If the figures at the foot of the bed are re-
quired to exert themselves in like manner
this can be accomplished by the aid OF
cloek-like apparatus. Moreover, should the
dusky owner of the bed wish to be lulled to
slnmber by the dulcet sounds of soft music
this can be done by touching spring. The
bottom of the bed contains a large musical
box, which is SO arranged that the tunes can
be loud OF soft. as desired

prison known as Tothill Fields prison was

Hints for the Toilet.

Fashion Letter.
Rain water is best for toilet purposes and
1t should be warm when used. 1t is soft, and
removes dirt with but very little aid from
soap, an article that should be applied spar
ingIy at any time. To wash Immediately be-
fore going outdoors is to roughen the skin.
When bedtime arrives the apartment should
be of an agreeable temperature, so that a
tepid bath can be taken without danger.
Erhen the face must be washed with hot water,
as it opens the pores, removes the natural oil,
which causes the unwished-for shininess,
and has an after-effect to tighten the skin and
render it firm. Now comes the wet mask,
II desired. On getting up the face is to be
washed in tepid water and dried with soft
towel, the rubbing to be DOWN. ard and
thoroughly. Quick and brisk rubbing dam
ages the skin. Above all things avoid sit
ring for TOO great length of time before an
omen fire, unless the face is protected by a
screen, as'the heat will produce more dis
astrous results than are caused by harsh,
cold. or dusty air. Oatmeal and bran are
excellent and cheap adjuncts to toilet requi-
sites Water in which coarse oatmeal has
been soaked for few hours is a magnificent
thing for the hands. Bran softens and
whitens the skin, and bran bath should be
taken once a'week. To avoid clogging the
waste-pipe the bran can be placed in num-
hers of little muslin bags and the bags
thrown into the tub to soak.

FASHION NOTES.

SHRED yokes and full waists are again in
vogue.
Cloth bonnets are much worn with cloth
dresses
Fawn, drab and tan are popular colors for
gentlemen gloves.
GRAY and brown felts are very much the
rage just now for both hats and bonnets
The new velveteens are so handsomely fin
ished that they are frequently mistaken for
real velvet.
Heavy quilted satin Innings for cloaks are
more popular this season than those of fur,
on account of the annoyance caused by the
shedding OF hairs where fur is employed.
For tall, slender women no wrap for cold
weather use can be found more comfortable
or becoming than the long French mantle,
cut in exceedingly graceful curves in the
back and half fitting in front
Half-sashes or dem-belts, are fashionably
worn; they are made of wide velvet ribbon,
or of narrower, satin ribbon of two shades
sewed in the seams on the side of the cor
sage and tied Ill point in front
French shoes are laced in front, and must
match the dress in color. This has brought
Russia leather into favor for red shoes, and
there are also many fawn-colored and blue
kid shoes worn with black stockings
During the early season it is anticipated
ostrich tips for the time will be preferred to
the long plumes. Doves wings, so popular
now abroad. Will be seen, dyed in colors to
snit the toilets.
Girls wear very deep collars over the coat
for the street, those made Of Irish point,
Swiss lace embroidery or Honiton lace; for
the house the smaller collar is preferred
slightly fulled on ribbon. Jersey and dog
skin gloves are worn by all the youngsters of
both sexes, The wool jerseys are ribbed to
cling closely TO the wrist
Some of the newest oVerdresses are so
lnHg as 20 reach to the bottom of the dress
s-irt, both front and back. The drapery at
each side is usually caught mp very high
with buckles, or loops of ribbon run through
a slide. The other extreme is very short,
hanchv tunic or panier overskirt. Either
Style is equally fashionable.
One of the latest novelties is the use OF
hrefl culored cnenlles for capes and mu1fs.
They are made up in every variety, and can
also be made to order to match costumes.
The muffs for little girls are particularly
pretty. and are fined with quilted satin and
finished off with dainty little cords and tas-
sell. Canes TO match them are deep enough
10 reach the shoulders. and are often pointed
in the center OF the back and frequently
deeply pointed in front
