comfort and sympathy. of hope and
faith that He Who made the world
will guide ii" was difficult task.
To the lovers of Tennyson the choice
Will seem excellent, and the publishers
have inciosed them in dainty case of
blue and gold, a suitable holiday gift.

The satisfaction of human wants.n
so far as this depends upon human
labor and material resources, presents
subject demanding the closest research
and most vigorous thought. The salts
faction of human wants comprises all
there is of life and reaches to whatever
lies beyond; but the concluding clause,
I'm so far as it depends on human labor
and material resources" lifts it out of
the spiritual plane and confines it to
present every day life.
The author uses i'll great measure
the foundation laid by Mill and Cairnes.
with the enlarged and -broadened de-
velopment of later years.
He brings to the treatment of his SUBJ
Ject'the wide experience of journalist,
and he eXpounds in simple, direct
way his ideas so that they are easily
read and understood. He discusses
politics only as it relates to human
wants. The tariff is NOT touched upon,
but the silver question is introduced in

dlviduals and society, receives honest
and practical treatment.

fairness, its regard for the individual
man when confronted with the control
OF society.

libraries. as it is pre-eminently adapted
for educational purposes.

columbus Outdone." An exact uarra-

per, Capt. William Andrews. in his
boat Sapolio. Published by Artemus
Ward, New York.
There are several points 10 be consid-
cred before Capt. Andrews cruise can
be fairly said to have surpassed Column

Capt. Andrews sailed in fourteen
foot boat alone, exposed to the perils of
the sea, but with all the guides for
ocean travel that science has furnished.
on familiar track
Columbus started on an unknown
path, with only his compass, with an
ignorant, superstitious crew and unsea-
worthy vessels.
More than all, the difference lies in
the motive for an undertaking, which
makes one man a hero and another
hardy TOOL. Contrast encounterfng per-

discover new world. with Drawing the
same elements to advertise brand of
soap! 1t was an exhibition of daring.
but the motive hardly calls for enthusi-

fortunes.
Perhaps Mr.. Bancroft's literary fame
rests mainly upon his five initial vol

contains almost the only original infor-
nation of the early settlement of that
part OF our country, obtained from the
lips and pens of the then living actors,
information now of great value.
This record of literary industry shows
what can be accomplished by one who
works towards one aim without bein2
