The keynote of this little, work. by Prof
William Henry Hudson, OF Leland Stanford,
jr., University, may be found in the au-
thor's statement that the friendship of
books is, therefore, a friendship TO stand
us in good stead at times when we might
otherwise drift into folly or depression, and
those who understand all that this friend
snip means will tell you that in this respect
alone the value of love of reading is not
eloquently in favor of the profit and delight
that are to be found in the cultivation of a
love for great and good books. T. Y.

Luxury and SACRIFICE.

This little work, by Charles F. Dole, au-
thor of THE Golden Rule in Business" is
a temperate defense of luxury and of the
right of the rich to spend money for costly
equipages, beautiful pictures, etc. The au-
thor argues that even the poor would not
wish to do away altogether with the beauty
and splendor that make gay the streets,
and that luxury, in it's attractive forms,
holds out a stimulus to exertion. The book
is written in d helpful, sympathetic spirit.

This is a story of the American civil war
by Arthur Patterson. The author describes
the scenes in a Western town when the
President first called for volunteers, and
his pictures of the home sentiment and
the preparations are interesting. There is
a graphic account of the battle of Bull
Run, and later the hero undergoes stirring
adventures in Sherman's march to the sea.
The story carries a mild sort of love af-
fair. d. Appleton & Co.

For the lawlessness at Virden, ILL.,, sew

Tanner is responsible because he did not
undertake to bring the parties to the con-

to do this, but he could have shown who
was in fault. After this he should have
used his influence to prevent the collision.
The miners are at fault for resorting to
threats and arms. The mine operators are
at fault for refusing to arbitrate. and in
assuming a domineering and insolent atti-
