SOUTH AMERICAN REPUBLICS.

THE SPANISH-AMERICAN REPUB-
Lies. BY THEODORE CHILD. Illustrated.
New York Harper q Brothers.
The series of papers on the Spanish
American Republics that has been run
ming recently in the pages of Hdrpers
appears here in sumptuous form. IL
comprises the observations made by the
author during his travels in 1890 in the
five republics of Chile, Peru, the Argen-
tine, Paraguay and Uruguay. Mr..
Child's well. known keenness of observa-
tion and brilliancy of style combine well
with thu natural picturesqueness of the
subject, and the result is book that
is eminently readable as well as in
structive. He does not go very deeply
into the history of these countries, nor
does he explore unknown regions, but
he travels over the settled portions
of the republics, and reports what he
sees of the social and industrial condi-
tions, political and educational progress
of the people. natural features of the
country, and all that would be likely to
interest keen-witted traveller from the
North. Recent events will render the
chapter ON Chile particularly interesting.
While there the author saw signs of
political discomfort, but hardly suspected
that civil war was so soon 90 break out
much less did he look for any possible
complications with our own country.
Indeed, the difficulty in writing of the
southern republics is that they are still
in such state OF ferment that what is
true of them one year will not hold good
the next. This fact has necessitated an
epilogue, in which the author adds to
the observations already made on ac-
count of the revolution in Chile, the
financial crash in the Argentine Repub-
lie and changes in the situation in
Uruguay and Peru. The numerous fine
illustrations add greatly to the charm of
the book.

PHARAOH'S FELLAHS AND EX-

that all Egypt is but the facade of an

Egypt is not only honey-combed with

OTHER NEW BOOKS.

PROF SHALER of Harvard University
devotes the first chapters of his Mature
and Man in America" TO rapid display
of the geologic conditions under which the
earth was gradually formed, showing the
effect of these conditions not only upon
the structure of the earth itself but upon
organic life. He then shows how these
same conditions have modified the life of
man: or, in other words, shows man in
his environment. And then, basing his
conclusions upon what has evidently
taken place in the past, he endeavors TO
forecast the future of man in America,
taking up the different sections Of our
country In detail and showing the prob
able character Of the industrial life of the
various regions as determined by geo
graphical conditions. The subject is in
teresting aud the book gives considerable
information in small compass. (Charles

With deft touch she brings out the char

peculiarities does not neglect TO supply
the human nature that makes US feel their

The latest addition To the Riverside

by Harriet Beecher Stowe. THE
Minister'S Wooing" is in its different way
as notable n story as Uncle Toms

the New England of two generations ago
with marvellous fidelity, giving n revela-
tion of the inner life of the people, as well
as picture of their manners. IL deals
with the noblest and most rugged traits
Of New England character, shows the
picturesque side of old-fashioned life, and
the working Of these deep emotions of the
heart which are the same in all genera

THIRD YEAR IN PROVIDENCE.
CONTINUED SUCCESS.

During the past two years DIR. Strong ha
treated over 1900 patients at his Providence
Office and refused to treat over 1900 cases that
he pronounced incurabe. He has conducted
the largest Office practice Of any physician In
Providence. His treatment OF the diseases TO
which he devotes his time Is the same as that
pursued by the leading physicians and sur
geons of Europe. During DR. Strong's visit 20
Europe the past summer he was able To obtain
knowledge OF the very latest discoveries in
medicine and surgery. His treatment OF
Throat is the same as used at the London,
England, Nose and Throat hospital. His
treatment of the diseases of the Nervous Sys-
tenn is identical To that advocated by Prof.
Charcot and DIR. Brown Scquard of Paris.
All medicines prescribed by DR.. Strong are
prepared expressly for each case in the large
laboratory connected with his Office. His Of
flee contains the largest and most complete
collection of instruments and appliances for
by any physician in America. a visit To his
office will prove this. He gives special atten-
tion to Chronic diseases, Catarrh. and all dis
eases of the Nose, Throat and Lungs; diseases
of the Stomach, Liver, Spleen, Heart, Bowels,
Kidney, Bladder and Urinary Organs, Rheu-
matism, Diseases Peculiar To Females, Piles,
Fistula and all diseases Of the kectum cured

eases caused by an impaired or abused con-

carries MS back 10 the period in the
Roman Empire under Nero about half
century after Christ. Combined with
the caprice of the cruel emperor is the
story of love between Claudia ana
Pudeus, interviewer with the plot TO
murder Nero, and persecution of the
Christians. The whole makes n read

times and the customs of the people.

per q Brothers.
Under this title Mr.. Child reviews
the works of the great masters
with view of showing how TO learn to
criticise and 10 appreciate art at its best
art rs the expression of genius. In art
criticism the main points to aim at are
sympathy. dclicacy of observation, and
intelligent and well reasoned admiration

The appreciation and the creative intel
leCt have certain points in common. No
one can bC taught TO see. nature. 10 feel

painter of genius Will show you
less brush and less work, but how he
does 1t he can not tell. save that he
uses brains. The really great painters
are their own masters. They are men
of rare and special temperament and
through this temperament they see ma
ture as none ever saw IL before.
But there is much that is thoroughly
worthless in art. and the mere daubs
that are painted To sell are not worthy of
criticism, Mr.. Child treats especially
of Bottacelli. the modern French paint
ers, some American artists at the Paris
Exhibition. Millet. Muncassy. Bayre,
