a Trust Object Lesson.

The great Steel rail pool is dissolved
for the time, and there is hot competi-
ton between the consolidation ofinter-
ests of which j. Pierpont Morgan is
the head and similar consolidation
headed by Rockefeller and Carnegie.
This great battle in the industrial
world will be watched with interest.
It will doubtless result in single pool
or monopoly more binding and more
lasting than the one that has just gone
to pieces.
Meanwhile the temporary breaking
up of this trust has furnished an object
lesson on the influence of Trusts upon
the labor market and upon prosperity
in general. Owing to the new COM
petitive conditions. the steel industry
has been so stimulated that on Monday
next every mill Ia Illinois will be
opened and the Pennsylvania mills
will be put on full time. This will

will stimulate many other branches of
industry and trade. 1t will probably
have an effect that will be felt all over
the country.
This shows what an enormous impe-
tus would be given to business if the
Trusts could be broken down. Closed
mills would open in all directions.
New enterprises would be started. And
the opportunities for labor would be
correspondingly increased.
If the temporary disruption of sim
gle Trust has the effect of starting
scores of mills and furnishing work to
thousand of men, what would be the
effect of smashing all the Trusts

The War is Over.

Missouri was border State during
the Civil War; rent and torn by the
strife of brother against brother 10
those bloody days. That strife was
ended long ago. A loving respect
alike to wearers of the Blue and Gray
is now all that remains in token OF the
awful conflict wherein they stood OPP
posed.
This is far from being an idly senti-
mental assertion. The recent remark
able scene in the Missouri Senate pre-
ceding the passage of tho Soldiers
Homes bills furnishes the proof of its
truth. Those bills provided for the max
ing of the Federal Home at St. James

had already been passed by the House;

necessary Il was given with but one

ZOlA'S "PARIS."

We learn from the Macmillan Company tn at
Emile Zola's paris" announced as among
the forthcoming publications of the current
season, will not appear in book form until
early in 1898 The translator. has entered
into an agreement with one of the leading
London weekies for its serial issue in Great
Britain. which will begin in october next.
The volume will be slightly shorter than
each of five chapters. Mr.. Vizetelly says in
the Westminster Gazette:
ut will probably come as Surprise to the
critics and readers OF NJ. Zola's more recen t
works. II Will be genuine novel with no
dissertations and no dig essions From first
to last 1t Will be brimful Of life and action,
at the same time presenting kaleidoscope
picture of all classes of the Partisan commun-
ity at the end of the nineteenth century. "
"M. Zola's contention is that q writer worthy
of the name must adapt his method 10 his
subject Paris is syDonymous OF present-day
life, with all its turmoil, all its intensity; and
thus, even as Rome the novel, made the
reader pause and mediate, so Paris, the novel.
will hurry him on through typical scenes OF
French society 100 years after the Revolu-
ton"
The book will contain q good deal about
the anarchists, and there is one very effective
scene representing O: explosion a the door OF
a bankers house, but the book will not be all
about the anarchists. Ali kinds of people OF
every stage OF society appear in its pages. No
body knows Paris life better than NJ. Zola, and
the book is certain to be very big success; it
is novel OF action with nothing improper

the immortals felt and behaved when they

IN THE DAYS OF CHRIST,

LAZARUS-By Lucas Cleeve New York: E.
Dutton & Co Price 81 So
This story is weaving of the historic facts
handed down to US of Christ's life with q fic-
ton that has conceived quite a romance in
the life of Lazarus. He is represented to be
the coveted lover of Rebekah, the daughter
of Calaphas, the High Priest, and he himself
is in love with Mary, the Magdalene, who is
pictured as the most beautiful woman in all
Judea. The proud and beautiful caughter OF
Caiaphas will brook no rival, and her unre-
Quilted love leads to a tragedy. The characters
of the sisters of LaZarus-Mary and Martha
are carefully described, but with evident
prejudice on the part OF the writer against
Martha. more charitable author might
have pictured her rs possessing something of
ST. James cast OF mind in believing that there
was genuine worship in honest work. The
twisting OF the sentences into odd shapes in
order to give the conversations an archaic
sound seems somewhat overdone.

That language fills a hiatus in the

The great temple, Notifications, colleges
and markets OF the ancient city are well
sged and described, as are also the peculiar
and picturesque Inhabitants. There was a
temple of the sun in the midst of the city, and
on the summit of Round Top there was q
monastery and dwelling-piace of the high
priest. There is map with the book show
ing the way in which Tlamco was laid out.
The portrayal of the Dorado, who was verita-
BILE sun god, consecrated to the life of service
before he was born, is done arti stically. The
story of his love for the priestess, Kerpcia, is
the principal charm of the book.

clerics are described so minutely that they
almost stand living before The analysis OF
each is made good naturedly and in manner
that proves the writer be an observer of

HOW TO BUILD A HOME-By Francis c

Everybody is more or less interested in
home-building, although 1T is customary to
leave all the details in the hands of the archi-
tect. While this is undoubtedly a good plan,
a knowledge of how house is erected is nee
essary in these days, when practical knowl-
edge is expected of an Intelligent person. We
can safely say that after psrusal of this little
