The faculty OF condensation and Concen-

of simplicity and clearness; the capacity

dresses delivered at Northfield Mass,
before Dwight Moodys school Three strik-

three addresses; the first, "A Life for a

the book takes its name from the first of
the three.

practical way in which Christian citizen

One day there came great labor war,
and the workingmen put their heads to-

there lave good heads: let's go and talk
1T over with them" They did. One Of
them arbitrated the strike satisfactorily,
because honestly. Another soon became
the head Of the school board. They got
into other boards: they got into Parla-

benefits and ameGorations. If honest men
of brains would go among the poor and

Frederick Stokes sent last week a new

by memory or catalogue. It's hard To say
whether Mr.. Stokes intends this volume 10
be taken up, studied verified, practtced
on and reviewed at this time, or has sent
Il to the home Of the Weather Bureau in
the midst of this perspiring spell as mlld
salirical protest. II the amiable publisher
intended the former he deserves harSher
treatment than an indulgent and mild
hammered pen can inflict, but IL he puts
it forth as a joke we commend his sense
of hunnor There is a sin gular righteousness
III sending an indoor book at such an un-
rniStakably outdoor time 1t reminds US of
the Ine.iana editor who, while the ther-
mometcr stood at 40 degrees below zero
complacently started off his editorial col
umn with this sage remark: "A cabbage
leaf placed N the crown OF the hat will
prevent Sunstroke'
In winter time, if that blissful period
ever melts cut Of these torTid days, this
book should be attractive There are days
when the trees are bare, and fat men seek
the sunny side of the Avenue, and the
wind comes sharp, and the snow scurr;es
about iii the air, and the windows are
closed, and the fire is lit, and the heat is
comfortable MI Fosters book reminds us
of this. How refreshing it is Then the
table is drawn, md under the full floo'l of

dare not light these nights, in Difference to

things, and il is proposed to while tile

Encyclopedia is then the book of books to

1t has everything in it conceivably re-
lating to games of cards, dominos, check
ers, dice, billiards and bowling. But the
possibilities of cards are best exempIified.
1t seems Incredible that fifty-two pieces
of figurated pasteboard could produce so
many kinds of games. Mr.. Foster divides
his games into families. There is the whist
family, the euchre family, the poker family,
and others; and they are all large families,
however witha strong family resemblance.
Nobody but an expert could tell but that
they are all twins. After counting four
teen kinds of whist we got tired and
warm and turned to poker. There are only
seven in that family. But in the bezique
family there are nine, in the hearts fam
lily eleven, in the euchre family twelve,
and in all-fours there are sixteen. Per
haps you don't know what all-fours is.
At least you know some of the family.
There is all-fives, auction pitch, Cali
fornia Jack, cinch, pedros of several char
acters, high five, seven up, and snooZer.
So the all-fc2r family is quite an impor-
tant connection in the aristocracy of cards.
AS noted above, this is NO time to read
