NEW PUBLICATIONS.

| In our column of book notices pup'
lished yesterday some startling efects
were produced by the accidental mixing
up in handling the type of the notices OF
| three books--Micah Clarke, Unguarded
Gates and Back Country Poems. In
justice to authors, publishers and re-
viewers we republish them below as they
| were intended.
Back Country Poems, by Sam Walter
Foss illustrated by Bridgman, is not n
remarkably well gotten up book in
pictures or binding, and for it's text we
have to observe an occasional too slangy
tone or an over-wrought handling of
theme and a lack of variety in metre
and rhythm. This much the reviewer
has tried conscientiously to record on
the adverse side, for once plunge into it's
pages and you will care very little for
external elegance or literary fnesse be-
cause we have here whaS the Yankees
call the genuine article," wit, pathos,
heart, human nature You will wipe an
occasional tear, none too quickly for the
up-corners OF responsive lips which will
constantly herald beamng smile, over
that bubbling, breezy blatherskite, the
boisterous bobolink;" or "an' OF Ma

Through the shadow chill and gray

But the quaint song that was his
Cheers be saddened silences
Still glad triumph notes are flung
From the song that Silas sung
Let the howlers howl,
And the scowlers scowl,,
And the GROWERS growl,
And the gruff gang go it,;
But behind the night
There's plenty of light

some thirty relatives and friends.
The bright skies, the newly fallen
snow, and the crisp air made a typical
winter day, while the cheer within made
one forgot the cold without. The hap

with many beautiful aud appropriate
presents. After the ceremony large
number sat down to an excellent we'd

A Woman's Garden Club.

There exists in southern city, says
the New York Evening Post a club that
is dong most commendable work. 1t is
called the Garden Club, and its rs mem
bers are all women interested in the cult
ure OF fruit. flowers and vegetables. No
professionals are members, and there are
no fees. Its revenues are derived from
annual shows, when all members pay one
entrance fee The fund derived pays
expenses and some small premiums. The
club meets twice a month TO exchange
experiences. Flowers, seeds and cuttings
are given away or exchanged most gener,
ously, and in addition collections oiplants
and cuttings of its products are given
away by the club to farmers wives and
daughters who may desire them when
they visit the exhibition. One specialist
raises fine celery, another test potatoes,
another strawberries. Others are locking
after chpsanthemums, begonias and
ferns.

A good story is told of Signor Foil,
the famous basso. Once upon a time he
was singing 1.-The Raft, when child
ish voice from somewhere in the stalls
suddenly piped in and attempted to or
ganize an impromptu duet. Unfortu.
nately the next line of the song was:
"Hark What sound is that which
breaks upon mine ear" This so tickled
the fancy of the great vocalist that he
burst into hearty fit of laughter and
left the platform, followed by the pi-
anist, Twice they came back and at
tempted the song, and finally they had
to give it up in despair, much to thc
amusement of the audience

1t is said that the most nauseous ply
sic may be given to children without
trouble, by previously letting them take a
peppermint ozenge, piece Of alum or a
bit of orange peel. Many people make
the mistake of giving sweet afterwards
to take away the disagreeable taste it is
far better to destroy it in the first in

An appetizing sandwich, and one that
has the merit OF novelty, is made from
thin slices Of brown bread spread with
very little butter, then with layer of

The nuts should be slightly sailed.
SCOT water, made from the SCOT Of
wood fires, is said to be an excellent fer
tillzer of house or outdoor plants. The
SCOT should be brushed down from the
chimneys with a long-handled brush,
gathered into quart bag and soaked in
rain water over night The water, black
as ink, will be ready for use the next
morning. To use about house plants, it
should be considerably diluted; it has a
tendency to bake the soil, and can easily
be too strong for the little amount of

Football Incidents.

There is a strong current of indigna-
tion among members of the Yale facul-
r. at brutality exhibited in Saturdays
came and some action by the faculty to
prevent a repetition of the spectacle is
looked for before long. Both Yale and
Harvard tackled like demons, slamming
the men down with wicked desperation.
At Shrieve, Ohio, Friday afternoon,
Walter Blackburn. aged 10, received
injuries in foot ball game which caused
his death. While "lnterfering. with
another player Blackburn was thrown
heavily to the ground and five or six
players fell on him. When extricated
he was paralyzed from the neck down,
and surgical examination disclosed the
fact that his spinal column had been
fractured.'
Ii became known Friday afternoon
that Harry Rider, the right guard of the
Mount Union College football team,
Alliance, Ohio, was severely injured in
Mondays game with the Hiram College
eleven and is in critical condition.
During the first half, he was kicked on
the back by Hiram player in IA rush,
but pluckily finished the game. After
ward he became deirious and at times it
takes the strength of four men to hold
him in bed. His physician says the kick
has caused eliot of blood at the base of
the brain Young Rider is the son of
DR.. w. II. Rider of Akron, presiding
elder of Akron District Methodist
church.
Sinkinson, of Portland, who was in
iured Saturday is doing well now but he
will not be able to play again. He
should not have gone into the game
Saturday for he was suffering from a
very lame shoulder, received in the pre-
vious game, at Bangor. The muscles of
his chest were so sore and weak that
practically he had but one arm TO work
with. This explains why the opposing
players were able to get past him. He
was hurt in the head at the very first of
the game and ought to have retired at
once. When he attempted to kick the
first goal his head was whirling like IA
top and he conld hardly see the posts.
He was in somewhat better shape when
he missed the second goal. In the last
half he was again kicked in the head
and that knocked him out He was
taken from the field and tainted away.
His parents worked over him all Satur-
day night and he did not get to sleep
until o'clock Sunday morning. He
is now doing well. The swelling over
his eye has almost disappeared but Dr.
Thompson is afraid his shoulder will be
permanently I'M ured on account of the
straining of the muscles and cords.
Good care, however will bring it round
all right, it is hoped.
