slonaries and members of the govern
ment's relief expedition are scattered in
the districts where the force of the fam

word picture of the suffering among the
natives will doubtless result in the dona-

the churches and missionary societies of
the United States have contributed $780,
900 since the beginning of the famine, and

"Auswahl aus Luthers Deutschen

ruth, Phi. D., professor of German in
the University of Kansas. Published
by CHM & Co., Boston.
There is no other German writer
whose works are so much praised and
so little read by foreigners as Martin
Luther's. The works are bulky and
costly and the reprints are either too
difficult or too costly for the ordinary
student. In this volume the editor has
taken his selections from the whole
course of Luther'S life and chosen as
far as possible those writings which
have literary or historical value. An
outline of each of the greatest books
is presented. The book will be par
ticularly interesting to students.
Mathematics. Edited by Seymour

Clure company, New York Putnam,

This book is essentially practical 1t
is intended for young men and others
who want to obtain such a knowledge
of mathematics as shall be of service
to them in their business as mechanics
or engineers and to obtain it by study
at home without the advantages and
without the eXpense-of outside assist
ance. There is nothing in the book
that can not be mastered at home by a
student. The chapters are on me-

In "A History of the American Ma
ton" Cd. Appleton & Co, New York;,
Prof. Andrew c. Mclaughlin, of the
chair of American history in the Uni
versity of Michigan, traces in an able
and a generally clear manner the main
outlines of the national development of
the United States. This book brings
within 500 pages about all that one
needs to know of the skeletons of
events big with the fate of this country
from the discovery of America to the
purchase of the Philippines. In gen
eral, due proportion is shown in the
treatment of the innumerable subjects
which come under any such scheme as
Prof. Mclaughlin proposed a scheme
which sometimes involves the use of so
thoroughly condensed a form of writ
ing as to lead to occasional vagueness
or ambiguity. One instance of such a
disadvantage appears here in the case
of reference to the increase of wages
paid during the period 1SS0-1S90, the
statement being that between these
dates wages increased 131 per cent,
which cannot possibly mean that wages
were raised in any such degree as is
stated, but, probably, that the total of
wages paid was 1871 per cent greater at
the close than at the beginning of that
period. This is an isolated instance,
however. The writing is not much
above the average of writing by college
professors for publication. The illus
trations are more than 1870, and in
clude copies of notices from newspapers
of historic interest, maps, full-page
and limited pictures

A New Case Manifests
Itself in Frazier
Family.

Northboro, Oct. 27,-A new case of
diphtheria manifested itself today in
the person of Mrs. William Frazier.
This is the third case in this family,
the other two being young children. The
citizens are protesting against William
Frazier, the father, on account of his
mingling every day with people in the
street and seemingly indifferent to the
fact that he is supposed to be quaran-
tined. The people do not blame Mr..
Frazier as much as the board of health
which never takes any steps to enforce
the quarantine laws. Mr. Frazier was
driving the bakery team for H. Peinge
and when his children were taken sick
Mr.. Peinge refused to allow him to work
for him until the children were6well

FIND OUT YOURSELF.

Why ask a physician to find out whether
your Kidneys are diseased. Take glass
tumbler and fill it with urine. If there is
a sediment after standing twenty-four
hours, your Kidneys are sick. If you
have a desire to urinate often, a pain in
the back, or if your urine stains linen.
you should at once take Dr. David Ken
nedys Favorite Remedy, as delay is dan
gerous. There is no question about it's

world for any and all diseases of the
Kidneys, Liver, Bladder and of the uri-
nary passages, Rheumatism, Dyspepsia
or constipation of the bowels, 1t quickly
