HIDDEN DEPTHS; A TALE FOR THE
TIMEs.-This is dark and powerful story
by +. n. T. Skene of the evil influences of
evil men on woman's life, and a strong
plea that the same punishment for wrong
be melted ont to men as is inflicted on
women. There can be no doubt that
state of soc ETY. that condemns and re-
pudlateS the unchaste woman and
visits no punishment on the un-
chaste man is out of joint. 1t
is a terrible thing TO realize that women
who scorn the female victim are willing
and anxious to entrust The happiness of
their daughters to the hands of men who
have wrought woe and misery on their
sister women. 1t would be difficult to
draw stronger and, sad to say, a truer
picture of the heartlessneSs of so-called
respectable women aud ministers of God
to the fallen ones. [Chicago: Rand, Nc

AN OUTING WITH THE QUEEN OF
HEARTs.-Who would have thought that
Albion w. Tourgee who, spear in rest,
has tilted against so many of the monster
evils of the day, could have given the pub
lie such charming, delicate piece of work
as the book with the foregoing title. 1t
breathes of the country, the pine woods,
the banks of the streams; one can almost
notice the perfume of the fennel and the
odor of the hands that take FISH
from the hooks. Fall of breeziness
and sunlight, 1t is just the book for those
who cannot make use of the benefcent
curative qualities of the woods and sheavss
to dream over. and get at second hand the
good influences of country scenes. And
as If this were not good enough, the book
has been charmingly illustrated with APP
proVriate flowers and plants by Aimee
Tourgee, the pictures being instinct with
the same feeling as the writing. We can
cordially recommend the book. New

UN-AMERICAN IMMIGRATION. - Rena
Michaels Atchison has done the public
good service in putting before it
in readable form the evils that
come from unrestricted immigration. The
service would have been even greater
had the writer not allowed religious
feeling to sway her judgment, and had she
seen that the true lesson to be learned
from statistics are those that must neces-
sarily be deduced. not those that may be
deduced from them. The first part
of the book deals with the char
acter of modern immigration; the Sec
ond with its sociological bearings. In the
first part the writer discusses the criminal
and pauper element that lands on our
shores. in the second influence of the i'm
migrant element on education. labor, mu-
ncipal and national political life. 1t is by
no means a pleasant picture. 1t shows
clearly the need of restraining legislation.
otherwise the United States will be
wrecked on the same evil rocks as the
Governments of oIden days. TChicago :

SIRs. ONLY SEVENTEENTH author
of mostly Marjorie Day." Virginia F.
Townsend, has many admirers in this
country to welcome her new book
The scene is laid in Boston and its vicinity,
the incidents of the story are interesting
and the movement so well marked that
the readers interest grows to
the very end. The plot is ingenious
while the tune of the story is pure,
and the description sometimes brilliant,
bright and CHEEKY. The two principal
characters in the book-Dorothy Draycolt
and her brother Tom, student of Har-
warfare well drawn, strong and attrac-
tive. There is little psychological analy-
sis in the book, yet somehow or other the
characters are readily OWNED by the
reader and attract his whole attention.

Edwards, is an application of his "Cate-
chism of Hygiene" and is intended for
the use OF schools as well as general

stand. Simple language is used, and tech
nieal terms avoided where possible. Ana
tony and physiology are treated only when
directly connected with hygiene. The
illustrations, which are numerous, are
original in design. and explain physiologi-
cal actions without bringing anatomy int
prominence, and nothing objectiona BILE
will be found in them. New York: Ed
