Dreamer of Dreams. A Modern Ro-

tious effort ia the line of fctit,. or one
more utterly silly than "a d Gamer of

heroine conceives the refined and elegant
idea of singing as the siren sings" on her
lawn which stretches to the brink of the
river Thames. in order to attract the atten-
tion of any young man who may be floating

this insidious vile young Newman, who, at
an early age had seized the spirit of the
I tea ching of the old Greeks, and had aimed at
becoming perfect cube, as they put it, in
stead OF a mere physical, or for that matter
intellectual fiat, to use the literal antithesis,"
falls victim to her charms. Later on he
gives himself up to dreaming, literally. not
hguratively, and at length achieves the pow
er OF controlling his cerebral conditions dun
ing sleep. Then follows series of un-
pleasant situations with which the reader
has little patience. Finally the extraordi-
nary young man concludes to mo longer be
a dreamer of dreams, but doer of DEEDS
and having planned murder and only failed
by accident in accomplishing it he suggest to
the siren that If he were worthy he would
like to marry her. She, in the most accom-
modating manner admits that If he were a
murderer in reality instead of intent she
would love hlm-love him all the same"

Short & Harmony Perhaps we can give no
better idea of the scope of this interesting
book than tolquoteifrom the authors preface:
''Our aims in the preparation of this book
have been:
l.. To fill an apparent demand for infor-
nation relating TO this form of Cooperation
institutions for savings, and to place such
information In form accessible to all de-
siringit
2. To explain the principles upon which
the typical association is founded in such
manner that the reader who Is seeking gen.
eral information on the subject may readily
understand.
8. To describe the important variations
from the typical association now in opera
ton, tracing their development and the
causes that have induced them. and discuss
ing briefly their respective merits.
4. To furnish Complete guide to all per-
sons wishing to organize and conduct them
upon methods that are safe, equitable and
uniformly successfullwhen adhered to.
8. To correct certain false notions which
are often entertained by those conducting
these associations, relating to the subject of
| premiums, and the benefits accrping to the
borrowers therefrom, by reason of dividends
added TO the shares of stock upon which they
have borrowed.
g. To print, in a convenient form for ex-
animation, the best statutes In this country
authorizing their formation, and TO recon-
mend to those interested in legislation re-
lating to these associations the New York
act Of 1887 and the laws of Massachusetts, .

cooperation is government" says the author
and he goes on to show that the whole social
fabric is made up of co operation If man

formal association between them.
A little more than third of this book of
three hundred pages is taken up with the
general discussion, the remainder of it con-
sisting of instruction as to the methods of
organizing, keeping accounts, etc. The
author has not aimed to set forth any new
theories, but he presents his subject with
great clearness and has produced work
that ought to be of value to those interested
and who is not-in the matters to which it
pertains.

New York: Harper 6 Brothers; Portland
Loring. Short & Harmony The author of
this book. Judge Curry, is known as a
gentleman of great leaning as well as elegant
culture, and his appointment to the Court of
Madrid was one of the best of the last admin

pared an exhaustive history of the Spanish
Constitution, like Bancroft's History of the
formation of the Constitution of the United
States; but in this sketch, as he himself
describes it, he has presented with clearness
and impartiality facts not easy to obtain in
their regular sequence or properly to collate.
The work is exceedingly interesting and
Instructive; and will enable the reader who
has not had time or opportunity for over
much study of Spanish history to compre-
