tain that the spirit suffers; and whether
one is haunted by visions or by remorse
or the body suffers from poverty and
hunger, the penalties of our acts are
equally hard to bear. 1t is Mrs. Lewis
strong hold upon this primary fact of
human life that enables her to realize
the characters and carry to their con-
clusion the relations, situations and cir
cumstances which her story involves. All
who have read Her Double Life should
read The Haunted Husband.

Harper Brothers have new book to
interest the boys and probably some of
the girls who admire athletics. Kirk
Monroe, the author of Dorymates,
Campmakers, etc., has written another
etory entitled, Raftmates, volume be-
longing in Harper's Young People series.
The book is to be clsssed as Juvenile,
but there is enough of stirring incident
used with considerable skill in the con-
struction of the story-to give it GER
tain interest for older readers who have
not got beyond the possibility of enjoy
ing this sort of tale. The raft started
from point on the upper Mississippi,
and Winn, the owners son, because of
an accident, found himself in charge of
the raft. He and his mates had varied
and exciting adventures before their
voyage ended. The interest OF the text
is increased by number OF spirited
illustrations.

the only Journal devoted to philosophy,
ethics and psychology issued in South
ern California. and is the leading west
ern journal devoted to the researches OF

the present management commences
with the July issue. It is at present
sustained by few earnest studente who
give time and heart in the full conf

researches in the investigation of the
occult laws of nature and the psychic
forces in man, and they desire everyone
who has felt the touch of some uplifting
truth in the pages which they have
read in the magazine to further assist
them in bringing about a unity of un.
derstanding and of aspiration amidst
the world-illusions of our present envi-
ronment. The June number of this
was an especially good one.
The editor contributes an article on
explaining what an adept
master or mahatma is in the sense used
by the leading metaphysical schools of
today. Carl Gutherz of Paris writes on
A Later Renaissance. DR.. J. d. Buck
gives his ideas of The Universal Ideal in
4 short concise way. Part second of
The Way of Wisdom, by Merce NJ.
Thirds is very convincing. One of the
strange but at the same time one of the |
strongest arguments ia presented by DR..
Jerome Anderson on the subject of |
Dealings With the Dead. Although
short article still it is as sustaining,
logical and convincing as his wonderful
article on Reincarnation. A beautiful |
picture in veree entitled Seraphita, by
Annie Elizabeth Cheney, is gem of
this interesting number.
