posed provisional term Of six years to ef-
feet the financial arrangements. No change

chequer would be one-third of the ascertained

whole arrangement would be revised 1t
would be provided that ireland should collect
and manage taxation with the execution Of

Chicago has increased so rapidly and
sosinviting has become the field there

is as scarce in New York as is
generosity, and that states TIE case

it The devoted old Knickerbockers

of the species is the can opener made

there Is shade of regret ia the tone of the
n aturallst when he speaks of man clearing
away forest that once made an unbroken
fringe to this superb body of water. Muir
is at his best when he speaks of mountain
mbing in Rainier. We get very near TO
the heart of nature when we follow this
man who more than any one since Thoreau
has the fresh, unspolled love of trees and
mountains that usually ends with boyhood.
The pictures by Keith. Perard and Gay are
unusually good. Perhaps the finest thing
in illustration is Gays picture OF Snoqual-

that would do no discredit to Yosemite.
