TIE absorbing topic in departmental cir
cles is tho work Of tho newly. y.appointed
Treasury commission. Tho commission
held its first informal meeting on satur-
day, and at moro extended conference to-
day partially outlined tho programme to bo
carried out. Information as to the course
to be pursued in reference to recommending
reductions of force is eagerly sought. There
is no doubt that large reductions will be
recommended but the prediction that one
fourth of tho entire force will be dispensed
with is, ofcourse, an exaggerstion. Tho COM
mission is fair and disinterested one, and
will easily discover which employees can and
should be dismissed. The Treasury De-
partmont has hundreds Of competent, eill-
cient and faithful employees Of every grade ;
but it also has officials of nearly every
grade whose services can be dispensed with
without injury to tho service or any OBJ
servable effect, except purifying the atmos-
phere Of the Department. The strictes
enforcement of the spirit and letter of the
Civil-Servico law leaves room for and de-
mands extensive changes.

LIFE AND TRAVEL IN INDIA. by ANNA
HAHIErTE LEoNoWESs, Philadelphla! Por-
ter 4 Coates. Washington; Wm, DAllantyne
& Son.
In this book Mrs. Leonowens has not only
fulnlled the promise made in the preface OF
introducing tho reader to life and travel, such
as they wore before the establishment OF tele.
graph and railroads In India, but has given us
some very amusing gllmpees OF her own
housekeeping experiences In India, as well as
n variety OF striking pictures OF tue strange
and complex life Of tho different races now
found In Hisdooetan. The sketches wore writ
ten on the spot from personal o b servation, and
they open up new and rich field OF Oriental
study. flood Of new light 10 also thrown on
the inner life ana social condition OF the wo
men OF India in the chapters treating OF the
domestic life OF the Hlndoos, Parsees, Moham.
medans, etc.
The description OF the out.of.the.way places
visited by the author are often drawn with so
true hand that the reader secs them as
clearly as the narrator, while the art OF look
Ing at all commonplace objects from eympa-
ihetic standpoint lends tho sketches, however
ellght, new and fresh interest.
We cannot go far astraY IN saying that since
the history OF India by James MIL, no work,
especially OF so unpretending character as the
one before ue, gives the reader so much val.
uable Information about India and her people.
1t ls accompanied with a number OF really
excellent illustrations, which add much to It's
Intrinsic merit.
