Can Man Live Forever; an orig
inal novel;" is the startling title of an
unpretending little volume in blue col
ored cloth covers and well Illustrated,
written by J. Emile Hix, the Western
News Co., Of Chicago, being the pub
lishers agents. The News Co. in it's
message concerning the books says:
ut is a mixture of fact and fiction that
will raise a hope in the minds of many
who read it, and will give rise to
thoughts that are new to the human
race.
The one, in the present year, 1898,
who would be SO bold as to say he be-
lieves its deductions, and that 1t points
the way to new race of people, would
have his sanity questioned; but those
who would thus criticise will read and
reread this strange book 1t is original
and without a parallel in many re-
spects, we believe, in the history of
literature.
The Slopes of Helicon and other
poems. BY Lloyd Miffiin, published by
Ester & Lauriat Boston,, illustrated
with ten full-page Illustrations by T.
Moran, N. A., and others; and a por-
trait of the author from a recent photo
graph. The volume contains 100 pages
of Mr.. Mifflin's lyrics and other poems.
The unique gold design on the cover
of this book-a cluster of the Kalnia or
American Laurel-is indicative of the
many purely American touches which
abound in the poems it contains, for
Mr.. Miff1in is distinctively the poet of
his own fields and hills. The subjects
of this volume are no less original than
varied--from a Greek goddess to Cali
ban-and the range of the book being
wide, Is very interesting psychological
Iy. To those who know the author only
through his remarkable sonnets, cat
the Gates Of Song" this new volume
will be q revelation. 1t will settle the
question often asked, whether SON.
net-writer of distinction can also be a
lyrist. The book is very interesting
also as shedding more light upon the
| poets inner life and character, and will
be sure to bring Mr.. Miff1in many new
readers.
