lumbermen. The story lacks somewhat
in the story-teller's art; but it is interest

T. B. Aldrich's new book OF collected
verse, "The Sisters Tragedy is even
better, as a whole, than was to be ex-
pected by those who watched eagerly as
gem after gem left the hand of the cum
ming lapidary and shone in the rich
settings OF Harper's Illustrations Now
that they are threaded upon one cord, a
shining rosary, we can compare one with
another, and the comparison only brings
out new beauties. The book is very
small. the index numbering but thirty
six titles, and it contains the collected
work of several years; but, as the man
said OF Patti the night Of her first APP

but o, Lordr' 1t must be no small part
OF a mans satisfaction in looking over
such collection of his work to remem-
Der the things that he left unwritten; tor
poetic madness is like the vulgarer sort
in that it tempts a man to speak UNI
guardedly; and that sleepless recorder,
the press, stands ever ready to give per
manence to ill-considered trifies. rhis
volume is marred by no lamentable wastes
of commonplace; but, god though he
was, the back of Seigfried was vulnera-
BILE. and SO, perhaps, it was ordained that
"Alec Yeaton's Son." a very ordinary
little 'piece," should be caught, like that
much-quoted fly, between the golden
amber of "In Westminster Abbey" and
that lovely soliloquy of a bearer SAT the
Funeral of Minor Poet:
Groom in your heart for him, o Mother Earth,
Who loved each flower and leaf that made you
fair,
And Gang your praise in verses manifold
And delicate, With here and there line

new publication is called ''Life's Handi-
cap; and adds, "Being Stories of Mine
Own People," Almost all the stories are
about people bearing such names as Khoda
Dad Khan, with just enough Englishmen
sprinkled in to bring out their peculiar
tiles; the title NAV mean tointimate that
all people are Kipling's people, and all
gods his gods, otherwise it is an enigma.
Just about half OF these stories are re-
printed for the first time, but the old ones
are the better half. 1t is a pleasure to
hive that most perfect of Kipling' s
stories, without Benefit Of Clergy, /"
bound in substantial shape. Among the
new stories there is marked pleponder-
ance Of those that are horrible. ''The
Mark of the Beast is veritable night
mare, and has genuine nightmarish
way of sticking in the mind. "At the
End of the Passage is another of the
same sort. But although this is not the
best collection that could be made, if the
plums from all the other collections were
picked out and gathered together. these
stories could only have been written by
Kipling and the old spontaneous sparkle
Of originality plays through them, like
the sheet-lightning of which he tells, that
"was dancing on the horizon to broken
tune played by far-off thunder" All
through his work fash these crystals.
When he writes of the swollen river, It is
not in long, statistical paragraphs, but in
few crisp sentences. ''The river gulped
at the banks, brought down cliff Of
sand, and snarled the more hungrily."
When he tells Of breathlessly hot night,
we can no more doubt the heat than we
can doubt our own sensations in mid
July, and it is unquestionably just in this
quality of reality that Kipling is pre-
eminent.

A Railway Mistake

A man went to a certain railway sta
ton in New Jersey to buy a ticket for a
small village named Morrow, where a sta
ton had been opened only few days pre-
viously.
"Does this train go to Morrow" asked
the man, coming up to the Office in a great
hurry, and pointing to train on the track
with steam up and every indication of a
speedy departure.
'sNo; it goes today" replied the ticket
agent, CURLY. He thought the man was
"trying to be funny" as the saying goes.
'But," rejoined the man, who was in a
great hurry, "does it go to Morrow today?''
''No, it goes yesterday, the week after
next" said the agent sarcastically, now
sure that the inquirer was trying to make
game of him.
''You don't understand me-" cried the
man, getting very much excited as the en-
CINE gave a warning foot; II want to go to
Morrow"
"Well, then," said the agent sternly,
"why don't you go tomorrow, and not
come fooling around here today? Step
aside, please, and let that lady approach
the Window
"But, my dear SIR" exclaimed the be-
Wuuefeu lnqulftf, IL ~ lmpofGanC UnaJ
should be in Morrow today, and if the train
stops there, or if there is no train to Nor
row today
At this critical juncture, when there was
some danger that the mutual misunder-
standing would drive both men frantic, an
old official happened along and straight
ened out matters in less than minute.
The agent apologized, the man got his
ticket, and the train started for Morrow
today.-Youth's Companion.

Exercise That Chi1dren Need.


Dr. Ferdinand Lagrange, who has writ
ten a valuable book on exercise in child
hood, says that for years past alarm has
been felt by those charged with the educa-
ton of the young in France "because
children have lost the taste for exercises"
This he attributes entirely to the sinister
predominance of the schoolmaster in mod
ern child life. The denial of natures
rights in respect to play is followed by an
unfailing Nemesis in the form of i'll health,
or what is perhaps still worse, by gradual
adaptation to circumstances leading to a
joyless child poor, fabby, languid youth, a
stunted, stagnant maturity and a prema-
ture old age.
''How, then," he asks, fare children to
be made good animals?" By the fullest
possible development of their bodily pow
ers. How is this development to be COM
passed? Adapting Danton's famous say
ing, I answer by exercise, by exercise,
and again by exercise. There can be no
dispute about this. The only question
is as to the form and amount ofRxercise.
The period of childhood may be aiken as
extending from the age of two Or three
years up to puberty. Now what is wanted
at this stage is not SO much the acquisition
of muscular strength or skill as a solid
foundation of general health. In child
hood exercise should be almost exclusively
general or hygienic; indeed, 1 am inclined
to think that the less purely local or ath-
letic exercise growing child has the bet
ter it will be, not only for its constitution,
but for its future muscular development.
Very young children should be encour-
aged to run about, to trundle hoops, or if
at the seaside to build castles, etc., on the
sand-in short, to play and romp instead
of dawdling. In the way of systematic ex-
ercise for young children there is nothing
better than the Kindergarten movements.
For older children no methodical exercise,
however scientifically arranged, can COM
pare with the boisterous outdoor games
which bring every muscle into play, lash
the heart into gallop and make the vital
bellows-the lungs-blow the fire of life
into glow.-New York Post

Suffering Cured.

All Sufferers are of the nervous temper
ament, and in their haste to speak so much
nervous energy is sent to the vocal organs
that they cannot act fast enough for it to
escape, and confusion is the result. All
that is necessary is to divert part of that
energy to some other operation-that is, to
divert the mind partly to some other thing
Thus, at the enunciation of every syllable
tap any part of the body with the finger

One of the newest.of the swell restaura-

securing high class customers. His plan
is to ask the rich men and gourmets who
dine at his place what dishes they are es-
pecially fond of and in what way they have
them prepared at home. He then has his
chef make the dishes, and he calls them
after the customers who recommend them
as if, for the sake of example, he should
stew crabs in cream and call the dish
'scrabs a la Chauncey Depew," or as if he
should put crusting of baked powdered
cheese on stewed caulifower and should
name it ''caulifiower la Colonel Fellows
