Considering the Importance of his work and
the hardships he endured in pursuit OF 1t,
there has been singularly little written about
the young Swedish explorer, DR.. sven Hed1n:
few months ago he completed journey OF
three years and seven months in the most
inaccessible and least known parts OF ASIA.
1t is a heroic story scarcely equaled in the
annals of travel and exploration; and 1t has
gone thus far practically untold. But Mr.:
r. H. Sherard has prepared full account
Of DR.. Hedin and his discoveries and ad-
ventures, based largely on conversations with
him, and it will be published in Mcclure S
Magazine for December, along with numer-

X. Clifford, to remain one of the I'M
read books. On the other hand for
him "who would feel in his hearts core
all human veal and VICE." the reading
of Mrs. Keith's Crime" is an ex-
tperience he can hardly afford to forego.
The plot itself is a simple one, and any
account that we could give Of it would
either prejudice the ordinary reader
against the book, or destroy the inter-
est that the uncertainty of it's develop
1nent incites. Intense as the story is,
1t is not sensational. and its power
throughout is only in a secondary way
the result of events or characters. 1t IS
the atmosphere, itself, that makes one
hold ones breath hard while
one reads, and feel the presence of the
brave little woman-"tossed by tenn
pests and not comforted"-long after
the book is finally closed. The motif
of Mrs. Cliffords novel has been scored
as morbid, but this is hardly true
criticism. Morbidness has to do with
death, but the passion of mother-love,
which makes her grief possible and her
crime heroic, has nothing to do with
death, unless to "bruise its head"
Yet though the book is not morbid,
Ats intensity is nervous and feminine
and the tension is too disconcerting to
allow of the books being considered as
art; still in an age that considers the
LAGOON a classic much will be forgiv-
en- the portraiture of human anguish in
words or stone.

Joel Chandler Harris contribution to
last years juvenile fiction, as his host
of young and old admirers will remem-
her, was THE Story Of Aaron, the Son
of Ben Ali" "told by his friends and
acquaintance. Timoleon the black
stallion, Grunter the white pig, Girls
tie the gray pony, and Rambler the
trick dog" But, happily, Mr.. Harris
does not believe that they exhausted
the subject, and so he has come to the
rescue, telling, in his proper person,
the story of Aaron in the WildwoOds."
When Aaron, the son of Ben Ali, ran
away from his cruel master, it is well
known that he sought shelter in the
great swamp known as 'Spivey S
Canebrake," and there lived his curl
Gus life with his animal friends. 1t is
this part of his adventurous life that
Mr.. Harris has written. In a way, the
story may claim to be the American
jungle book, and, although Mr.. Harris
does not attempt to use Mr.. Kipling's
superlative power he has a power all
his own, and has known how to use
it for many a year past. Indeed in
American juvenile fiction the Aaron
stories are only in any way excelled
by Mr.. Harris own Uncle Remus"
yarns. Wholesome and fascinating.
fortunate is the child who is brought
up on them.

MoToRMAN HAD NERVE.
Saved the Lives of His Passengers
by Prompt Acton.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. Nov. 13.-The
presence Of mind Of a motorman on a
Brightwood trolley car at 6 o'clock
last night probably averted an acct
dent in which the loss Of life would
have been inevitable. The car was
crowded with passengers, among
whom was Gov. Mount, returning to
his home in Woodruff. AS the car ap-
preached the Big Four crossing on
Massachusetts, avenue, no fagman
was there to give warning Of danger
and the car proceeded on its way.
When within a few feet of the cross
ing Motorman Allen Abrams, observed
an engine backing toward his car at
the rate Of thirty miles an hour. An
application Of the street car brakes
would have landed the motor on the
track Just in time to be crushed by the
engine. Realizing this fact, Motor
man Abrahams applied the full cur
rent and the car jumped the crossing
at bound, but the hood over the rear
end of the car was entirely severed by
the engine. When the passengers re-
allied their escape they were much
agitated and the governor praised the
motorman for his prompt action.

LAYING THE CARDS.

If the player wins solo In clubs,
spades or diamonds he is paid by each
of his adversaries two chips, and in
a heart solo three chips, for each point
he has made in excess of sixty, includ-
ing the points in the slough cards. !"
If the bidder loses his solo, he pays
double, unless it is heart solo, when
he pays treble.
When any suit is made trumps. 1t
takes precedence Of the others in the
playing out of the hands, but the
counting cards of the trump suit have
no greater value than those of the
other suits.
In playing out the hands, 1t is neces-
sary, first, to follow suit; secondly, if
the player has not the suit led, he must
trump. 1t follows, therefore, that a
player can only throw off, or slough, !"
a useless or embarrassing card when
he has neither the suit led nor trump.
This rule greatly tightens the lines Of
play, and works in favor of the single
player and against the two "cut
throat" adversaries.

ing to suffer inconvenience in the
brave attempt to find out for one
self, and this applies as much to
foreign travel as to the most becom-

much precious time and strength, so

cover the ground. Ships, fast and

tains four operas of Richard Wagner's
"Nibelungen Ring Arranged for Young
People" So says the preface, but We
are sure that, though it is arranged for
young people, it is not intended that
older ones will notsfnd it equally in
teresting. The author, Anna Alice
Chaplin, is in love with her subject and
thoroughly understands it. and, what
is better, has the faculty of presenting
it to her readers in way to make
them realize her meaning.
Besides giving the stories of the
Rhinegold, she holds the thread of the
music so that the old legend and Wag-
ner's vast Interpretation of it are kept
united. The various motifs are given
in connection with the legends, so that
it is possible, in a small way, to fol-
low the operas with more interest and
understa nding.

BIG SUGAR CONTRACTS.
Honolulu Planters will Do Well
Princess kaiuianPS Pro-
posed Visit.

Honolulu, Oct. 80, via San Francisco,
Nov. 6.-The Hawaiian Star announces
that contracts have been signed in New
York city for $4,000 tons of Hawaiian
sugar of the crop of 1898. Another
large block of sugar will be taken by the
new refinery at Port Costa. California.
This contract is with the combination of
sugar plantations outside of those con-
trolled by Spreckels. The deal will be
OF great advantage to the planters, for
it has been consummated upon better
terms than they have heretofore obtained
and it settles definitely in what direction
Hawaiian sugar will go. The first ship
load will be the Tillie Starbuck, now in
port. A number of vessels in the SeWell
line will be chartered also.
1t is understood the Princess Kaiulani
will remain but a few days in Honolulu,
when she will leave again for tour of
Europe. She has requested in advance
that no entertainment or any demonstra-
ton be arranged for her honor and will
decline absolutely to take any part or
even discuss politics. The princess de-
clines any intention of visiting or con-
ferring with the eX-Queen, and from
guarded intimation, would seem to desire
to give out the impression that she is
not in sympathy with the eX-Queen' s
cause.

SELF-DENIAL AT TABLE.

There are few people who like to adj
nit their inability to live abstemiously,
and yet one of the hardest things to
practice, for most people, is self-denial at
the table. A noted physician in New
York who believes largely ON dieting for
the cure of disease, declares, that, after
practice Of many years, he has become
convinced that not one patient in a thou
sand can or will withstand the tempta-
lions Of the table, if seated around the
board when dishes forbidden to him are
partaken of by others, says a writer in
What to Eat. He, therefore, invariably
insists upon his patients eating alone, or
with those only who are pursuing sim
liar diet Of course, this does not mean
that the patient may not abstain once or
twice or half q dozen times, possibly; but
that he will not continue to do so through
the days, weeks or months necessary to
effect a cure. Some day he breaks over,
partakes Of the forbidden dish, and the
work has to begin all over again. The
moral of this is that it will be much
better to avoid temptation at the begin
ming, and, when resolved upon a given
diet, to avoid sitting at the table when
other and richer dishes are served. 1t
is comparatively easy to breakfast or
dine on simple dishes if others more
tempting on the palate are not at hand;
but, let one be surrounded with buildings
and pastry, with terrapin and lobster,
with rich sauces and luscious salads, and
the strongest are liable to hesitate and
