RE,ToLD TALES OF THE HILLS AND SHORES OF
MAINE, by Mrs. II. q. Rowe; Illustrated PIP So.
u. Bugbee 4 Co.. Bangor. Price &i.J0.
Maine has no more gifted writer of short
stories than Mrs. Rowe, or none who has
more accurately pictured the life and the
character Of Maine people. She has always
felt deep pride in her native State and her
best stories have been located among its
rugged hills and along its rocky
shores. The fine selection of her best
work of this character. embraced in her
latest volume is worthy of place in every
home in Maine. II will take rank with the
best work of this character we're done by any
of the many gifted writer's who have
worked this fertile field of literary in
spiration. Every one of the ten stories
embraced within the covers of this book is
gem. Taken together they show Il wide
range of subject, and display to conspicu-
Gus advantage the versatility of the author
Mrs. Rowe is a close observer of life, and
possesses marked ability in analyzing and
portraying it. Her characters are the peo-
pie we have met in our everyday life, and
we do not fail to recognize them SO faith
fully are they sketched. While all of the
stories in the book are told with natural
grace and truthfulness of portraiture, we
are inclined to rank Church Mice first of
all. 1t is one of the best short stories that we
have ever read and shows to great advan-
tage the strength of character sketching and
the delicate analysis, that have been char
acteristic of Mrs. Rowe's work The eharac-
tiers of the stories, in the volume under con-
sideration. introduce themselves they devel-
op themselves in the movement and dialogue
of the anecdote with far more clearness and
force than would be possible through any
amount of descriptive introduction. We
soon become acquainted with them. We
watch them move hear them talk. and
soon form II mental picture of them, and
fix in our minds their social, intellectual
and moral status.
Re-told Tales is one of the best books in
its typographical get up that has come to
our desk during the year. It is clearly
printed upon fine quality of super-ealen-
dared paper, has gilt edges, is well illus
trated, and handsomely bound in n fine
quality of ornamental cloth Price Sl.50
per copy.

Chicago architects are studying with some
misgivings the effect of protracted cold
weather on the lofty steel buildings in that
city. In the Ashland Block on Randolph
street the walls and ceilings show evidence
of cracking. and the same is the case in the
nifty and Tacoma buildings. The aschi-
tects are disposed to attribute the contrac-
tons to natural settling, but before COM
hitting themselves they prefer to wait until
warmer weather has restored the normal
condition of the steel framework. Where
buildings are in course of construction,
however. the contraction of the steel or iron
has in some cases been so pronounced that
bolts have been twisted or completely
snapped of Some of the beams have been
shortened half an inch during the long cold
spell. and when the weather moderates it
will take much time to renew bolts that
have been broken by the contractions.

The Memorial Association of the District
Of Columbia, of which Chief Justice Fuller
is president, anil which has been recently
organized, deserves the heartiest encourage
ment from all classes of citizens. Its pur-
pose is three-folI, namely. that of preserv-
ing the most noteworthy houses at the cap
ital that have been made historic by the res
idence of the nations greatest men; of
suitably marking, by tablets or other
wise, the houses and places
throughout the city of chief
interest to our own residents and to
the multitutles of Americans and foreigners
that annually visit the capital, AMI of thus
cultiva,ing that historic spirit and that rev.
erenee for the memories of the founders
and leaders of the republic upon which an
intelligent and abiding patriotism so largely
depends. The rapid growth of the national
capital increases the Importance of the
work of this organization which has entered
the field none too soon.
