the folles and sinfulness and general
cussedness of Mr.. Caudles. As sur
gical operation is said to be needed to
get joke into a Scotchman's head, so a
similar treatment would be needed to
make a scold realize that she is
simply and purely scold and not a
virtuUus, conscientious woman upon
whom an unkind fate has cast the bur
den of regenerating hayward and
pcrverse man. But henpecked hus-
bands Will read his analysis of the nag
ger with comfort, and find some solace
in reading it to Mis-. Caudle in some
opportune half-hour, when, from sheer
WEAKNESS, her tongue has ceased wag-
glng. But. if the world yet laughs as it
reads the lectures Mrs. Caudle gave
poor Candle, there is serious side TO it
in the effects of this fault of temper or
habit on both the naggod and the nag
ger. effects upon the health and on the
nerves of both, and its direct tendency
to insanity. But the unhappiest victim
of the nagger is the child subjected TO
it, running its health and dwarfing its
mind and morals, and for whom there is
no help, no remedy.

thinks that what Bourget says that is
good is not new, and conveys his opin-
ion iii way that equals a Frenchman
for dellcacy. He tells how, when Ma

sui general for the United States, lie

The American Journal Of Politics
changes its name with the new year TO
the American Journal of Civics. con-
tinulng under the same management.
The change is made to bring the title of
the magazine more in harmony with its
real purpose, the discussion of all mat
tiers relating to government, avoiding
the i'll odor into which the very good
word "politics" has fallen. Running
over the contributions TO any number
of this magazine reveals the presence
of large number of able writer's, fully
as able as those whose reputation in-
Sures them ready access 10 the pages of
the more pretentiOuS magazines. They
treat the same line of topics as do their
more favored or fortunate colleagues in
the field of civicS, and. it must be
owned, treat them with as much ability
and far more sincerity. Isaac Feinberg,
in this issue, answers Mr.. KitSOn's
criticism Of the single tax, and Louis Il.
Harley comes to the defense of Nautilus
and his theory, insisting that all the
attacks on that theOrist are based on
his first book, and not ON his SubSe-
Quent and modified theory. Prof. ii. A.
Scomp argues for the use of both gold
and silver, permitting each free access
TO the minis, to be stamped with
their weight and finenesS, and, retain
ing their names, be deprived of their
legal tender qualities. This quality is
always and everywhere a fraud reSOrted

coin that would not float OH its merits.
