5 TIMELY AND TELLING.
H. r. TiIIinShast's Work on Rock Island
Arsenal Just Printed.


Advance copies of B. F. Tilling-
hast 5 work, Rock Island Arsenal in
Peace and in War have come from
the presses Of Henry o. Shepard Com
pany. Chicago. The book, artistic
ally printed on an especially made
quality of hard finished paper, is to
be sold in two styles of binding. in
green cloth with gold design, and in
strong paper covers. In either case
it is neatly bound. To say that the
work is all that the author promised
for it would be quite enough. But it
Is more than that. OF a truth Mr..
I'illinghast has been characteristically
modest in his predictions as to what
his book was to contain-it more than
surpasses expectations. Aside from
its value as reference COM
panion of every day interest
it is so well written, so care
fully compiled, so tastefully illus
trated, that in a literary as well as an
art sense il commends itself without
making any claim for recognition on
that score. 1t is magazine. 1t
tells Il story not in fiction, but in
fact. a narrative, it is. all the more
fascinating to us ali because it is laid
among familiar scenes. Yet after
CHANGING through the pages, even
though hastily. how really small has
been the conception heretofore of the
subject now so forciblv and vet so
gracefully handled. So that the story
of Rock Island Arsenal in Peace and
in War" is after all a revelation to
the most ardent of the tri-city friends
of the institution. knowledge of that
of which the author in such pains
taking manner tells, makes the bring
ing out of the actual situation and
prospects the more delightful, because
the sources of information which Mr..
Tillinghast has reached have been 50
limited heretofore. Hence, while re-
vealing TO the people of the immediate
locality that of which they have but
dimly conceived before, it promises to
take to all parts of the country, and
especially to Washington, an idea of
what Rock Island arsenal is at all
times, and especially under emergen-
cy: of what ii may be, not only to the
three cities, but to the country, and in
the line of latent history to the world.
Mr.. Tillinghast : book is timely, as lis
a. truthful as telling. 1t comes as the
promise of Astounding realism of an
estate dream.

Value of n Good sneeze.

We all know from actual experience
that good sneeze is wonderful loosen
er of nasal bronchial mucus. Sir Dyce
Duckworth comes forward in The Prac-
titioner with the suggestion that the
induction Of sneeZing be resorted TO for
the purpose of raising bronchial mucus.
The idea is good one and worthy Of
being placed in practical oiRation. 1t
has been explained how vomiting causes
an expulsion of mucus or membrane
from the respiratory passages, but
sneezing appears to be quite efficient in
doing this. Ordinary snuff or any of
the many simple nasal irritants sutfices
and may be blown into the nose of even
a child without any danger.
