and the forests OF the various forest reser-
vations already established. A matter of
peculiar interest is embodied in the follow
ing excerpt from the Introduction:
really remarkable phenomenon in Ameri-
can animal life is the attitude now assumed
toward mankind by the bears, both grizzly and
black, in the Yellowstone National Park. The
preservation of the game in the park has
unex xpectedly resulted in turning q great
many of the bears into scavsngers for the
hotels within the park limits. Their tame
ness and familiarity are astonishing; they act
much more like hogs than beasts of prey.
Naturalists now have a chance of studying
their character from an entirely new stand
point and under entirely new conditions. 1t
would be we'll worth the while of any student
of nature to devote an entire season in the
park simply to study of bear life. Never be-
fore has such an opportunity been afforded.
One bear has made practice of going into
the kitchen OF the Geyser Hotel, where he is
fed on pies If given chance, the bears will
eat the pigs that are kept in pens. near the
hotels; but they have not shown any tendency
to molest the horses, or to interfere in any way
with the human beings around the hotels.
These incidents and the confidence which
the elk, deer and other animals i'll the park
have come to feel in man are interesting, for
they show how readily these creatures may be
taught to look upon human beings as friends.

Mckinley is compared to Garfield with
reference to thorough preparation by
reading and study for broad public
career. Each of these possessed elements
of strength, by reason of his conscientious
study of political subjects. Mckinley was
first elected to Congress in 1876 and re-
mained aNmember OF the House of Repre-
sentatives for fourteen years, his closing
year being signalized by the passage of the
tariff measure which bears his name. The
volume treats very extensively of the
policy of protection as represented in the
Mckinley law and discusses at length the
crushing Republican defeat of 1892 and the
tidal wave that engulfed Democracy two
years later.
Extended references are made to two
episodes in McKinley's career that have
been discussed of late in the public press
These are his fidelity to John Sherman at
the Republican National Convention of
June, 1888, and to General Benjamin Har-
rison at Minneapolis in 1892. In the first
instance he was under instructions of his
State convention to vote for Sherman as

and American manhood of which we may well
be proud, and whether his public life termi-
mates now, or he achieves still further honors
the name of Mckinley will never be erased
from the memories of q vast majority of his
party followers, who are rightly inspired by
the hope that he may some day be President of
the United States.
THE AIMS OF LITERARY STUDY.
This little book is the ninth of the Mac
milan Miniature series, and is a learned
dissertation on the subject under consid-
Grafton. The author, Hiram Corson,
LID, takes for his keynote the doctrine
of the trinal unity of man as enunciated
by Robert Browning in "a Death in the
Desert" He holds that all literary study
should aim to develop TO the highest de-
gree that immortal part of man which
will survive the grave. DR.. Corson defines
literature as the expression in letters of
the spiritual cooperating with the intel
lectuaI man, the former being the pri-
mary, dominant coefficient. He says: IA
production of the pure intellect does not
belong to the domain of literature proper.

"HUNTING IN MANY LANDS"

This is the title of the latest volume
issued by that famous organization of
sportsmen known as the Boone and
Crockett Club. Sixteen members of the
club contribute articles based on their
various experiences while in quest of big
game. The editors are Theodore Roose-
velt and George Bird Grinnell and the
work is published by the New York Forest
and Stream Company. The editors declare
that the Boone and Crockett Club was
largely interested in securing the passage by
Congress of an act to protect the Yellow
stone National Park, and to punish crimes
and offenses within its borders, "though
it may be questioned whether even their
efforts would have had any result had not
the public interest been aroused, and the
Congressional conscience pricked by the
wholesale slaughter of buffalo which took
place in the park in March, 1884,"
1t is deemed necessary. that public senti-
ment should be aroused on the general
question of forest preservation, and espe-
cially in the matter of securing legislation
which will adequately protect the game

A HISTORY IN RHYME.

America Liberata' is the title of poem

which have resulted in the independence
of States which had formed part of the
old Spanish dominion is told in 136 eight
line stanzas of labored verse, running

most difficult problem to be solved
is how to secure better balancing of
the intellectual and the spiritual man.
When this problem shall have been sue
cessfully solved there will be civilization
such as the world has never yet known.
The leading aim in the teaching of Eng
lish should be: First, to enlarge the stu
dents vocabulary; second, to cultivate a
nice sense of the force of words, and third !,
to speak and write good, live English.
These three things can be secured only
through an extensive and sympathetic
reading of good authors"
Such an author as Washington Irving
Professor Corson considers excellent for
young students, for in Irving's works it
would be hard to find Latin word used
where its Saxon equivalent would be pre-
ferable, or vice versa. Furthermore, the
careful student could hardly help being
wholesomely influenced by the genial per-
sonality of the author. For advanced stu
dents no more educating author could be
selected than De Quincy.
DIR. Corson considers examinations the
hane OF literary study, for the reason that
they largely determine the character of
this study in the school. Literary knowl-
edge and literary culture are quite distinct
things. The author considers it fortunate
that much of the finest genius of our day
is employing prose fiction as it's most eff
clent instrument and form. Students can
turn in their leisure hours to great novels
which are instinct with the poetic, are in
formed with intellect, heart and con-
science, and often grapple with the most
serious questions of life and destiny.
I'm studying a poem with class of
Students" Professor Corson says, lone
very important aim of the teacher should
be TO keep the minds of the class up as
near as possible to the height of the
argument" The best response to the es-
sential life of poem is to be secured by
the fullest interpretative vocal rendering
of it. The reading voice demands at least
as much cultivation as the singing voice.
The author finds it a cause of much regret
that so little attention, comparatively, is
paid to the cultivation of the reading
voice in our schools and colleges. New
