NORTH AMERICAN REVIEW

The North american ReoieGo for
September is an admirably consti-
tuted number, whether we regard
the timelinesS and Importance of
the subjects presented, or the emin-
eat competence of the authors
chosen for their discussion. First
comes Estate Regulation of Corpor-
ate Profits" by Chief Justice I. NJ.
Cooley, Of Michigan, showing how
far, by wise legislation and by ap-
plying in the spirit of enlightened
Jurisprudence the principles of the
common law, the narrowing eX-
actions Of corporate compa MES and
monopolies in general may be re-
strained and the interests of the
people effectually conserved. John
A. Kasson, M C., writes ION "Muni-
cipal Reform" and offers sugges-
ti0ns for the abatement of the evils
of misgovernment in our great
municipalities that will command
the earnest interest of all good citi-
zens without aspect to party. Rich
ard Grant White treats of "Class
Distinctions in the United States -
a subject that is destined to occupy
more and more the attention of the
American people as great fortunes
increase. shooting at Sight" Is
the subject of some pertinent refec-
lions by James Jackson, Chief Jus.
tics of the State Of Georgia. In
"Facts about the Caucus and the
Primary" George Walton Green I'M
wells the tricks practiced by politi-
cal managers in large cities. The
well-knOWn English essayist, w. II.
Mallock, contributes "Conversa-
lions with Solitary" in which he
sets forth with much ingenuity the
arguments adverse to popular gov
ernment. The Rev. DR.. d. S. Phe-
ian contributes an article sparkling
with epigrsms, on The Limitations
of FreeJhinking." Finally, Grant
Allen, the most charming of all liY-
ing writer's on natural history, dis
courses on can American Wild

LITERATURE.
PoPULAR SCIENCE MoNTHLY.

The Popular Science Monthly for
September begins with clear ex-
position of 1.-The Germ-Theory of
Disease" by DR.. H. Cradle, who, in
plain words, showing his command
Of the subject, explains the theory,
defines the extent to which it has
so far been found surely applicable,
and sums up the evidence on which
1t rests DR.. Felix l.. Oswald con-
tinues his pungent prescriptions
and recommendations of"The Rene
dies of Nature" with a paper on
"Asthma," and its treatment. In
"Fire-proof Building CONSTRUCTION"
Mr.. William E. Ward describes and
recommends a system of building
with iron and beto7 without wood,
which he has tried and found prac-
ticable and effective. 'sInsanity,"
by one who has been insane, is a
picture, from the inside, of a disease
whose moving springs and workings
can be only most obscurely per-
c9ived from the outside, and offers
suggestions, derived from the au-
thor's own experience, as to points
in which the treatment Of the in
sane and the management of
asylums should be improved. Mr..
E. t. Merrick presents different
view of sour Marriage and Divorce
Laws" from that which was given
by Mr.. Stewart in the June number
of the Mouthzy, especially as re-
lates to conditions in the Southern
States. In How the Earth was
Peopled," by he Marquis de Sapor-
ia, the eminent French botanist and
paleontologist, discussing the origin
and antiquity of man, attempts
to show in what way and by
what means the human race
became scattered over all the con-
tinents at the very earliest stages
OF its existence. In insects and
Disease" Professor A. F. A. King
charges mosquitoes with being the
most active and efficient agents IN
the dissemination of malarial poi>
son. Several other articles, such as
The Chemistry of Cookery
Agricultural Experiment Stations,
ways of Preserving Food" and
primitive Map-making," are of the
practical or special interest. The
editor vigorously sustains Mr.,
Adams in his attack On "Ihe Dead
Language Superstition" The late
Sir William Logan, of the Canadian
Geological Survey, is the subject o
a biographical sketch, which is &C
companied by the usual portrait

The author treats of theIorigin and
development of religious ideas

the past about the creation; the
history of creation as told by science;

kind; the story of the early races Of
man; the Aryan or, Indo-E European
nations; Hindu religions; the reli-

II there is any object on top of
Gods green earth utterly unkissable
and generally repugnant to a man of
healthy sentiment, it is somebody
else's baby. Indecisive men have
been known to yield to the solicita-
tons of fond mothers and actually
submit to the indignity of having a
new baby thrust under their nostrils,
but these men have always repented
and usually gone on sprees just to re-
assert their independence and recover
their self.respect. Men who would
walk up to a bombshell and spit on
the suffering fuse will quail and
cover in abject terror before the muz.
zle of a baby, even when assured that
it is not loaded. Some men don't
mind having babies pointed at them,
but these are the sort of men who
blow down gun barrels and monkey
with buzz saws and do almost any
foolish thing. 1t is a we'll known fact
that a man who will knowingly kiss a
baby is generally addicted to chenille
and worsted work and gossip, and
there is we'll grounded suspicion
that he will steal sheep. This baby
kissing tends to make hypocrites OF
good natured men, and there ought to
be crusade against the pernicious
practice INDUCED in by the perpetra-
tors of babies and frequently abetted
by the proud instigators of these in
choate, bowling contrivauces, of reck
lessly pointing them at folks. Han

An enterprising Chicago man has
invented marble burial caskct,
which has had considerable sale in the
West aud New York.
II is made "of Portland and Keene
cement, and is imperishablo and indie
slructiblo. Surviving friends of the
dead have a natural aud commenda-
BILE desire 10 preserve the bodies Of
their loved ones from decay rs long as
possible. Wooden cofIins decay very
speedily, and those made Of iron rust
and crumblo away in very short
time when subjected to the chemicals
Of tho earth. In the earlier ages
stone graves hewn out Of solid rock
were the favorite receptacles for the
dead, not only because they resisted
the agencies mentioned, but also be-
cause they preserved the dead from
the hands of the resurrectionists.
Such thing as solid marble or a
stone grave is out Of the question now,
however, except among millionaires,
but the new burial casket meets all Of
the ends served by the old stone grave.
IL is in striking contrast with the d.
lapidated cloth, wooden and iron cas-
kets, and will supersede the necessity
of vaults. Each one Of the caskets
is Theoretically sealed cl;ic NIB in
itself They are lighter than iron,
and the strongest csskeis ever made.
The interior is perforated zinc set on a
wrought-iron skeleton frame. Both
the frame and the zinc are embedded
in the walls Of the casket. The ce'
ment grows harder with age.
zone point, and very strong one,
in favor of this casket is that when il
is closed it becomes a perfect whole.
The cover is joined to the casket with
the same cement with which the cas-
ket is made, and hence it is hermeti.
cally sealed without joint or crack. II
is complete, solid marble case. An
other great advantage of our caskets
over those Of wood or iron is the fact
that burial ceremonies can be held
with perfect safety over the bodies OF
persons who have died of contagiou;
diseases. There is not the slightest
danger Of contagion."
"a frstclass marble casket doe;
not cost any more than the best make
of iron or wood. The upholstering
and the outside trimmings are all Of
the best quality, and, in fact, precise
ly the same as those used in ordinary
collins"

Treatment Of consumption.

sumption is more easily cured than
any other chronic disease. the pop.
ulation living at an elevation Of 4 900
feet above the sea level have been

ton. What the doctor calls "indi-
gestiOn of respiration" is bred by hui
mid climates and stagnsnt air. He
believes in the theory Of the German
DIR. Koch, that parasites are a phase
of the disease, but maintains that their
appearance does not amountto death
sentence. Cease 10 feed the lungs
with azotic cases." he says, "and DIR.

certain to effect cure in n majority Of
cases. He points out malnutrition of
the lungs as one of the causes of con-
sumption and suggests fatty substan'
ces and sweet cream as the best lung
food. A vocal effort, he says, doesn't
injure the respiratory organs; on the
contrary, it strengthens them, and he
thinks that consumptives should envy
cattle drivers, "whose business gives
them a plausible pretext for yelling.
Too many clothes he considers harm
