A BOOK ON SWEET PEAS.

SWEET PEA REVIEW. BY James Sproule. San
Francisco The Murdock Press. For sale at all
the bookstores; price 25 cents
James Sproule has proved himself not only
q successful and studious horticuiturist, but q
man with literary leanings and of more than
the average ability in handling the Queens
English. His 'Sweet Pea Review is a very
neat and well-written little volume that was
needed, for the sweet-pea fad is healthy one
and lasting. All the different varieties of these
delicate, sweet-scented blossoms of beauty are,
in the Review, arranged in color groups and
classified according to type. There are also
many valuable critical notes and much In
forma ton of practical and scientific charac-
ter. To quote the words OF Mr.. Sproule's pre-
face: "a brief, definitely worded Review of
Sweet Peas must prove interesting to the
horticultural world. Accuracy has been
aimed at, and our conclusions, derived from
the broad plane of practical experience gained
in our own seed-growing domain, are trust
worthy. Coplous notes and endless comperi-
sons in our fields are here condensed into con-
venient and practical form, and while not per-
haps perfect in every respect they will be
found peculiarly convenient II is our effort,
by cooperation. to still further ennoble the
charming sweet pea, and in pursuance of that
end the present little publication the fruit OF
recreative moments snatched from busy life,
is respectfully rendered to flower-lovers"

CLEVER BUT HARMFUL.

YOGA PHILOSOPHY; LECTURES OF THE
SWAMI VIVEKANANDA ON RAJA YoGA.
published by Longmans, Green & Co, London,
New York and Bombay.
Students of Oriental PHILOSOPHERS know that
there are two systems of Yoga taught In India
-one the Hatha Yoga, the other Raja Yoga.
1t is entirely of the latter system that these
lectures purport to treat, and though Patan-
jalps aphorisms are quoted and annotated in
the volume, but few will agree that the learned
Swami has given his book the correct title.
There is more of Hatha Yoga in these lectures
than of anything else. Many physical prac-
tices are recommended and many physical
benefits to be derived from their employment
held out as inducements TO the student. This
Yoga philosophy, il might be explained 10 the
lay reader, compre hends tho control of the
mind By the power of the will, either for self
ish or for altruistic purposes, and either by
concentration of the thinking principle upon
lofty metaphysical distractions, or by the use
OF certain very dangerous ana harmful physi-
cal practices or selftorture Vivekananda-
who, by the way, is very intellectual East
Indian, who handles the English language
very gracefully and with some degree OF art in
composition-does not advise physical tor
ture, it is true, but his book is, upon the
whole, harmful one and calculated TO de-
grade and materialize system OF philosophy
that in many quarters is revered as the spir-
itual wisdom of great sages.

A NOVEL OF HIGH MERIT.

KING NoANETT. BY f. J. Stimson q. $. Of
Daie.) Boston and New York: Lamson, Wolfe
Co, publishers. For sale by A. III. robertson;
price So.
In the realm OF fiction this novel is entitled
to high place. 1t is supposed to be the story
OF Bampfylde Carew, one of the earliest settlers
on the Upper Charles River, in Massachusetts,.
As 1t relates to the Cromwellian period. 1t is
told also in the style in vogue at about that
time.
"He speaks without fear or favor" remarks
the author regarding his creation, Carew, "aud
have printed it as written altering only the
spelling; and although occasionally he uses
words only suited to the robuster stomachs OF
his time, have let them stand; partly that
the sweet and noble temper of his story atones
for them, partly that our own stomachs are q
trIae oyer-queasy (as to words alone)."
Views are expressed on a mum Der of subjects,
notably Cromwell and the later Puritans,
which, the author remarks, ''would have rem
dered their publication inopportune IN New
England at time much before the present"
But if he sets forth those matters in some-
what novel light he is severer still upon GER
tain phases of early life in Virginia. Miles
Courtenay will, beyond doubt, be considered
one of the very best drawn Irish characters of
the highest type in all literature. The sur
prising events which accompany the meeting
of Carew with King Noanett make strong,
dramatic close 20 book that fascinates the
reader from the beginning. The love tale that
runs through the story is as pure and sweet as
any that ever was told. The author dedicates
"to the memory of John Boyle O'Reilly this
book, so often planned together and now exc
cuted alone" The illustrations, by Henry
Sandman, X. CA, are superb.

A STORY OF SECOND LOVES.

THE VIOLET. By Julia Magruder. New York:
Longmans, Green e. co. publishers. For sale by
William Doxey; cloth; price, 81 26.
An interesting novel, this, of life and love in
the upper social circles. The story has good
moral tone. Its chief concern is with the
affairs OF beautiful woman, who has Tin
past that she is struggling to forget) been the
victim of a rash and most mistaken marriage,
and who has been employed to cheperon an
heiress, the latter having guardian whose
experience in matrimony had been happy,
though of short duration. AS chaperon, in
pleasant surroundings, in place of safety and
peace and rest, the beautiful woman comes
again to believe in the goodness of human
beiIlgs ana the possibility of peace The
guardian in question entertains peculiar be-
liefs about marriage, which had once led him
to the resolution never to wed again. Guar
dian and chaperon become loves philoso-
piers. The reader Will find much to be ad-
mirsd about the story. One of the lessons is
that wisdom, born of experience, may be re-
lied on to Danish false notions of living and
loving. The book is illustrated by Charles
Dana Gibson and. needless to say, the draw
ings are fine specimens OF the illustrators art

A GIFT BOOK.

LITTLE BELLIES AND BEAUX. BY Frances
Brundage and elizabeth $ Tucker Published
by the Frederick a. stokes Company, New
York. Price, 81 rs. Fer saleby William Doxey,
Palace Hotel.
This makes very attractive volume for the
children-a good birthday present 1t con-
tains several full-page water-color illustrations
that are very handsome. They are rich in col
oring, and yet in very good taste. They will
appeal to the children, and be rather an aid to
their artistic education. AS much can hardly
be said for the letter-press. 1t is not bad or
harmful, perhaps, like the letter-press of many
children's books, but it is rather colorless and
tame and scarcely interesting for the wide-
awake, bright babies of our day. However,
the pictures more than make up for this fault,
and no child will fail to be delighted with the
gift.

SOME ENL1vRN1NG YARNS.

AROUND THE CAMPFIRE By Charles G. D.
Roberts, MA. New York and Boston: I. Y.
CrowelI d Co, publishers; cloth, price 81 90.
Among the new books for young people this
volume should get good reception, for much
pleasure is to be found in It's pages. Six cheer
full sportsmen start on a canoeing trip in the
New Brunswick wilderness, and every evening
as they sit around the campfire each in turn is
called upon to spin an enlivenlng yarn. The
scheme is carried out with great success; tales
of adventure, of exciting escapes, of intimate
acquaintance with wildcats and bears, moose
and other denizens of the woods are strung on
the simple but delightful thread of the expedi-
ton. Professor Roberts has personal knowl-
ege of the region to which he introduces his
readers and he he's succeeded in telling Sc
ries of delightful stories in style which would
of itself make him famous. The sixteen Illus
trations by Charles Copeland are true to the
life, and add to the charm of the book.

akin to the temper of the middle ages. This
ability to project himself into the spirit OF a
long past age is one of Morris most striking
characteristics. 1t holds true OF his next work,
seThe Life and Death of Jason," which was
published early in the sixties. This poem
relates the mythical search of the Argonauts
for the golden fleece, and is so long that few
people have cared to read IL through "The
Earthly Paradise" which came next, is longer
still, being usually published in three vol
umes. Reading 1t is however, less of task
because it consists of twenty-four different
tales. any one of which may properly be read
apart from the rest.

FOR LOVERS OF MYSTERY.

COURT INTRIGUE. BY Basil Thompson. New
YORK: D. Appleton & Co., publishers. For sale
by Doxey; paper, price so cents
This book is queer mixture OF the grotesque
and serious and the reader is for while in
doubt whether the author is in jest or earnest.
The king. the court and the country are all
mys terious. The characters are nearly all mis-
fits in their stations. The gardener for in
stance, made an excellent librarian, but knew
nothing of gardening. The coachman drew oil
his ideas from a book on the horse. The keep
er of the poultry had been solicitor in pros
porous practice and was quite prepared to
change places with the lord president Of the
council when that dignitary was dismissed
from office. Side by side with this tomfoolery
runs vein of seriousness, but in the solution
the author entirely justifes the juxtaposition
of the two elements. 1t is good book for
lovers of mystery.

TIMELY LESSON IN FINANCE

FIAT MONEY INITIATION IN FRANCE.
BY Andrew ID. White LID: New York; ID.
Appleton q Co.. publishers. For sale by Doxey;
paper, price 2o cents.
This able, authoritative paper by the WELL
known college professor has been reprinted in
response to demand, in order that it may be
of use during the present campaign in show
ing to what folly, cruelty, wrong and ruin the
passion for fiat money may lead A special
reason for issuing this new edition lies in the
fact that the principle involved in the pro-
posed unlimited coinage of silver in the
United States is, at bottom, identical with the
idea which led to that fearful wreck of public
and private property in France. An added
reason is that the utterances of the Chicago
nominee and of the Populist platform point
clearly and unmistakably TO unlimited issues
of paper money hereafter. The author de-
clares that Bryans Populist supporters are
logical enough to see that it would be 1ncon-
sistent to stop at the unlimited issue of silver
dollars, which really cost something, when
they can issue unlimited paper dollars, which
virtually cost nothing.
Professor White says that 1t is but Just to
acknowledge that the French proposal was
vastly more sane than that now made in our
own country. The French issues of paper
rested not merely ION the will of a. free peo-
ple," but on more than one-third of the entire
landed property of France: on the very
confiscated estates of the church and the fugi-
tive arlstocracy-with power to use the paper
thus issued in purchasing this real property at
very moderate prices.
"Our proposed unlimited issue of silver"
says the author, "rests on we know not what:
and the proposed issue of paper rests solely
on the judgment, the will and the schemes
for political success or personal gain of those
Populist fnanciers who shall be put in control
at Washington, and who will doubtless be
astute enough to see and to use the enormous
possibilities for stock-jobbing and gambling
in values which will accrue to'those who, by
controlling the issues of the circulating me-
! dium, can raise or depress the price of every
share of stock, every bond. every yard OF every
fabric, every ounce of every odity within
the United States"
Voters who are still wavering in doubt on
the financial question should read this con-
vincing paper on ''Fiat Money in France; How
1t Came, What 1t Brought and How it Ended"
