"rhe Philosophical Basis of Theism. '' by Systematic Theology in the Theological de psrtmcnt of Yale college, is a book which has attracted much ssteAtien, and is general ly recognized as very importank work. competent critic says of it and its author He stands on the plane of the great thsolo- gisns of the world, the pupil of St. Thomas Aquinas, if not his equal, in recognizing that tho problems of theology. to bs honestly solved, must be treated as She problems of philosophy, and that, before we can believe in the personality Of God, we must under stand what iz meant by personality in man. 'tFhe knowledge of man, not less than the knowledge of God, is necessary to She right understanding of religious truth, !" and Dr, Harris volume covers that ground of right reason, whose afirmationss have bssn quite too much ignored in Protestant theology. While it does not present in detail the evi- dence of the existence of God, it examines the constitution of man as personal being, in order to ascertain his capacity to know and serve God, and answers the philosophical questions involved In the controversy with skeptioism, sgnostieism and materialism, so as to vindicate the principles of theism from the almost constant misrepresentation of un- believers. He holds, with Dr. Brownson, that 'the study of theology must begin with investigating the reality, rise. conditions and limitations of human knowledge, defining what constitutes personality. and setting forth the principles of reason on which tts- ism rests. His fundamental principle Is that '1he existence of reason, universal, un- conditional and supreme, the same eyery- where and always, never in contradiction to the ultimate principles regulatiye of all hu- man thought, ths ultimate ground of the un- iverse and ever energizing in 1t. ia essential to all scientific knowledge. tho keystone of the arch of all rational thought and that ultimately the question with the atheist is not whether man can know God, but wheth- CT he can know anything nationally and sci- entifcally." He makes by constructive method the point that sswe know not merely what wa have subjectively experienced, but also that what we have experienced rests on truths and laws which are not subjective and peculiar to our experience, but are universal truths Eegulative Of all thought and laws to all action and thus that our faith is verita- ble knowledge and itself the utterance of reason.a Published by Charles Scribner's 6ona New York, and for sale in this city by Judd the bookseller.

Sad Lives Behind Rouge and Powder.
 t.i- ;.,An.asAix,c Ishkars


 Joe Howard in one of his interesting letters draws 8 graphic yet emphatic picture of the home life of actors and actresses. To him, the actor's life is, in the main, sad. Men with cofins at home make the public roar at their antics. Women aching in every muscle excite the envious admiration of audiences by the grace and beauty of their presentations, Under the chesriest circumstances it is 8 dog's life, and Howard shows 1t by the fol- lowing incidents: II know of sister whose name is familiar to every theater goer, who played rollicking role at night and hurry ing homo to her brothers bedside held him as he died within half an hour after the fall of the curtain, resting his paIlid forehead against her painted cheek. Not only that, but shs played the following day at a matinee and again at night, and was sever thanked by the management nor looked upon bF any one as having done anything at all extraordi- nary. During the long nine or ten months of the season, married actresses can have no corafort with their children, no intercourse with them. read 8 day or two ago a story of girl who was called to Sunday night rehearsal Her father was very i'll, but the rental of their rooms. the fees for the doctor and money for the drugs depended upon her attending to her business. It was imperative that she should be in the theater at half-past seven. Having arranged the room as women only. can, having placed upon the table by the bedside of her father the medicine, she kissed him good bye, and with loving touch promised to be back as early as possible.

Is Water Power Disappearing i'm New
 EngIandF
(From the Cotton, Wool and Iron-I


 There has not been time in many years when the water in the various streams and rivers has been so low as this season. Streams which have never given oat before have been 50 low that they were practically worthless, and this emphasizes the fact that the steam engine is the coming power, for the long vaunted water power of New England is giv- ing out. Various causes have appeared to make the water power less, and even less than it was supposed to be, and these causes have been working all the time and increasing in practical effect, so that now it is giving ont almost in every place of any account, with some very few exceptions, where the timber has not yet been cut of back in the sources of supply on the hills or mountains. The ef- feet upon the goods trade upon this account is already appreciable, and there is a demand for the best kinds of cotton, which was not expected so early in the season, if we are to take all the views which are expressed upon this matter and put them together.

An interesting and important experiment in the nse of steam signals at sea has been made under the auspices of the Dutch gov ernment. Two steamers were recently fitted out with what Is known as the Siren fog horn, and thus equipped were sent to sea. Photographic clerks were employed to manip- ulate the apparatus, making sound signals similar to the Morse system of telegraphy. Under these conditions there was not the least trouble in carrying on conversation between the tRo vessels, although at times they were so far apart as not to be seen from each others decks.

THE ENGAGED GIRL.
Some Rigid Rules Laid Down BY One Who
Claims to Have Had Sad Experience.

/ certainly must, and do unhesitat-
ingly, corroborate the assertions already
made as to the improperly of any
young woman visiting places of amuse-
ment, of any class whatever, with young
men other than the one to whom she is
engaged, says Philadelphia woman.
By her acceptance of invitations to visit
such places with the persons above des-
ignated, she disregards the most sacred
of promises, for when she promised to
marry young man it is presumed to be
understood that she also promised TO
fulfill that promise in every particular
Were she satisfied with him to whom
she gave, or seemed to give, her hand,
it is hardly necessary to say that she
would not for moment entertain de-
sire to accompany any other man than
the one whom she truly loves, at any
time or to any place of amusement
whatever.
1t is one of the greatest desires of
young woman-and it is, it may be said,
characteristic of her-to get as many
beaux as possible, and if one of them
asks her to marry him she very often
accepts him, because she knows she is
getting old and fears none of the others
will ask her. Having accepted him
under those circumstances, things 90 on
very pleasantly for awhile, or until she
sees some one she likes, or thinks she
likes, better. 1t is her wish to get all she
can out of the newcomer and, if posi-
Bile, secure him for her steady but
she must get rid of him to whom she is
engaged. She will not tell him that she
wishes his visits discontinued, for feal
she would lose an occasional invitation
to the theatre or perhaps good meal
now and then. Or it may be the new
caller is only amusing himself-how is
she to know, poor, innocent creaturep-
and she may need to fall back on her
fance as the means of emitting her to

tiers, she concludes that the best plan to
pursue would be TO keep him at dis
lance, though not so far as to actually
tell him that she is done with him, but
so far as will prevent him from inter-
fering with the other young mans visits.
If the theatre-young man continues to
call, no more is thought of the poor,
neglected fellow, who was. as it gener-
ally turns out, the most honorable. But
when the notwithstanding young
man begins gradually to discontinue his
visits the flrt will become concerned.
Then what would she give to have hen
neglected and outraged lover back?
When young lady visits place OF
amusement for the first time, under the
circumstances above described, if the
young man to whom she is engaged
loves her, he may, on certain considera
tons, continue his visits, but when she
repeats the insult--for such it is-it is
his duty to break off the engagement

The Novel of To-Day.

Iconfess that am harassed with the
incomplete romances, that leave me,
when the book Is closed, as one might
be on waste plain, at midnight, aban-
doned by his conductor, and without q
lantern. / am tired Of accompanying
people for hours through disaster and
perplexity and misunderstanding only
to see them lost in thick mist at last,
am weary Of going to funerals which
are not my funerals, however chatty and
amusing the undertaken may be. Icon
fess that ! would like to see again the
lovely heroine, the sweet woman, capa.
BILE of a great passion and great sacri-
fee; and | do not object If the novelist
tries her to the verge of endurance, in
agonies of mind andin perils, subjecting
her to wasting sickness even, il he only
brings her out at the end in blissful
compensation of her troubles, and en-
dued with new and sweeter charm,
No doubt it is better for us all, and bet
ter art, that in the novel OF society the
destiny should be decided by character.
What an artistic and righteous consum.
nation it is when we meet the shrewd
and wicked old Baroness Bernstein at
Continental gaming tables, and feel that
there was no other logical end for the
worldly and fascinating Beatrix Of
Henry Esmond! 1t is one of the great
privileges OF fiction to right the wrongs
of life, to do Justice to the deserving and
the vicious. 1t is wholesome for us to
contemplate this justice, even II we do
not often see it in society. 1t is true
that hypocrisy and vulgar self-sccking
often succeed in life, occupy high places.
and make their exit in the pageantry OF
honored obsequies Yet always the man
is conscious of the hollowness OF his
triumph, and the world takes a pretty
accurate measure of it, It's the prlvi-
lege of the novelist, without introducing
into such career what is called disas-
ter, to satisfy our innate love OF justice
by letting Ills see the true nature OF such
prosperity. The INSCRIPTIONS man
amassed wealth, lives in luxury and
splendor and dies in the odor OF re-
spectability. His poor and honest neigh
Dor, whom he has wronged and defraud-
ed, lives in misery and dies in disap-
pointment and penury. The novelist
cannot reverse the facts without such
shock to our experience as shall destroy
for us the artistic value of his fiction.
and bring upon his work the deserved
reproach of Unfortunately forwarding
the good and furnishing the bad. But
we have right to ask that he shall re-
veal the heart and character of this
passing show of life for not to do this,
to content himself merely with exterior,
appearances, is for the majority Of his
readers to efface the lines between vir-
tue and vice. And we ask this not for
the sake of the moral lesson, but because
not TO do it is, to our deep consciousness,
inartistic and untrue to our judgment
of life as it goes on. Charles Dudley
