LIVING THOUGHTS OF LEADING THINK
Frs By Rev s. 2. Linn. A. VI. Published by
j. s. 0gilyie. Price, in CLOTH 81.
1t is good sign to see publishers put forth
book of this kind in aga SO satiated with
weak and ephemeral literature. With many
people the inclination is strong TO spend much
of their leisure time in devouring trashy novels,
to the neglect of the works of the best writer's
and thinkers whose ideas influence mankind.
Not only does il lower the standard of intellect,
but the enjoyment of being familiar with eul-
tiyated authors is lost.
If person does not wish to devote the tina
to the study of the authors themselves, the
next best thing Is to trust TO someone's selee-
tons who is competent to judge, and thus indi.
rectly become familiar with the gems in htsra-
ture
This volume of Living Thoughts of Lead
ing Thinkers" is a collection of characteristic
quotations and sayings from laymen and the
lights of literature and makes sort of epitoms
of human life. 1t also contains list of excel
lent illustrations of authors.

thing necessary was TO make the natives

to accomplish these ends it was necessary for
GIave to enter into the bond of blood-brother-
hood with the leader of the tribe. This cere-
mony is performed by making an incision into
the arm and exchanging blood with the Chief
After this VOWS of friendship and good will are
made, and the new brothers ever after aid each
other in any new undertaking. Progress can
then be made in the tribal language, as the
Chiefs enjoy teaching by pointing at an object
and then repeating their name for it.

author, and from his facile pen he has given us

is most interesting reading.
FIVE YEARS IN THE UNITED STATES ARMY.

Elsie Mich. Price so cents.
An attractive little volume is that of COM
rade Cox. 1t is full of the wit, humor, pathos,
and tragedy of army life. There are some
mighty good stories in il, and nobody who has
been or is now one of our little band of Regu-
lars-who has served on the western plains

whom our Government has so long incapably
dealt-will fail to be a sympathetic and enthu-
siastie reader of these "reminiscences and records
of Sergeant of Co. K. 1st U. 8.
