The Wind of Destiny. By Prof. A. S.
Hardy, author of But Yet a Woman. Dos
ton: Houghton, Mifflin 81 Co.; Portland
Loring, Short & HARMONY The readers of
Prof Hardys first novel viii find this one
very much like it in richness of originality
and in its epigrammatc force. A long list
of bright sayings could be culled from this,
as from the earlier one. The unsatisfactory
thing about the book is its swiftly changing
scenes, and its almost jerky style of con-
struction. There are many strong charac-
tiers and some loyable ones, but one does not
have time to get acquainted with them be-
fore they are whisked off into space or final
ly disposed of by disaster. One cannot help
feeling that it is a strong book and that there
is much genuine learning in it, Nor is it,
without a connected and consistent plot and
motive. And yet it leaves an unpleasant
feeling on the readers mind when he is done
with it, and he longs for the writer to appear
who can unite something of Howells's potent
development of character with this authors
production of them ready made, and who
does not even seem to mourn their sudden
taking off 1t is, however, a book to be
carefully read, and is far above the average
novel of the day.

4 GHILD'S SUFFERING
From Eczema. Ears and Scalp
Covered with Scabs and Sores.

My little son, aged eight years, has been affilct
with Eczema OF the scalp, and at times great por

which became covered with seabs and sores, ano

matted and lifeleSs. Underneath these ScabS the
skin was raw, like piece of beefsteak Gradually
the hair came out and was destroyed, until but a
small patch was left at the back OF the head. My
friends in Peabody know how my little boy has sui
fered. AT night he would scratch his head unit

physicians in Peabody without success. About this
time, some friends who had been cured by the CUT

In seven months every particle of the disease was
removed. Not spot or scab remains on his scalp
to tell the story OF his suffering. His hair has re
turned, and is thick and strong and his scalp as
sweet and clean as any cbild's in the world: can
not say enough to express my gratitude for this
wonderful cure by the CUTICURA REMEDIES, and
wish all similarly afflicted to know that my state
ment is true and without exaggeration.

Murdock's Liquid Food contains 14.10 per cent.

The President is disappointed with Con-
gress and is anxious for it to pack up and go
home Had he been as thoroughly acquaint-
ed with his party as he ought to have been,
~ would not have been disappointed, for he
would have expected no useful legislation
from House in which it is in the asend-
ancy. 1t is a fact, however, that the present
House has surpassed its immediate prede-
cessors in its sins both of omission and COM
mission. Hardly a single useful measure
has passed it, but on the other hand the APP
propriations have been swelled to $40,0Oo,OO0
more than last year, without any exigencles
which demanded any increase whatever
The pledges Of the Democratic platform have
been ignored, the interests of the country
have been neglected, and the suggestions OF
the President have received either no atten-
ton whatever or unfayorable attention. The
country certainly shares the hope of the
President that the present session will be
speedily brought to an end.

Mr. Randalls attempt to nullify the civil
service law will fail, but it will serve to call
the attention of the country to the fact that
the law is by no means so thoroughly estab-
lished that it is safe to relax vigilance con-
corning it. Mr.. Randall is too shrewd
Democrat to place himself in opposition to IL
unless he knew that there was a strong SEN
timent in his party against it. His attitude
therefore. is conclusive proof that conSid-
cradle portion of the Democratic party, IL
not the majority, would like to see the law
swept from the statute book OF so modified as
not to interfere with the work Of turning
Republicans out and putting Democrats H.
To be sure. Randall's rider was not IN letter
an assault upon the law, but it was so IN
spirit. 1t proposed to change the rules SO
that all the names on the eligible list should
be sent to the appointing power, instead Oh
the four highest. That would virtually deS-
troy the competitive feature of the law ana
without that the law would become OF no
account whatever as a means of restraining
the appointing power from selecting men ior
the offices largely on account of their pollu-
cal procliyities. Under Mr. Randalls plan
we should have an abundance OF what the
Democratic conventions call honest civil
service reform-that is, every vacancy Would

night by deputy sheriff OH two capiases issued

Sykes succeeded in securing sureties and WAS

day. as it was reported that one OF the attor-

of the Merchants Loan and Trust company
and the Hide and Leather bank. The first OF
these banks had Mr.. Sykes paper for S20,OOO
