The United States of Europe" by w T.
Stead Doubleday & Mcclure company,
New York For sale by the St Paul
Book and Stationery company
Whatever MIR. Stead writes, whether it
be character sketches or IF Christ Came
to Chicago is sure to be picturesque and
readable. whatever the judicious reader
may think OF its literary aroma or ethical
quality. In the present work Mr. Stead
has seized upon the two great events of
the year past, and has made them the
nucleus OF a vivid study of present public
opinion in the leading capitals of Europe.
The two events, of course, are the His
panoAmerican war and the peace re-
script of the czar.
On these two questions the author has
interviewed the leading men in public af-
fairs from the czar himself down TO the
strollng Journalist about the cafes, with
whom Mr.. Stead really has so much in
common. The interviews are condensed
and most of them are anonymous, as a
matter Of course, and the whole Is
worked into fresh and readable narra-
| tive of remarkable interest The Ques-
| ton of expansion is frankly discussed,
and we are told that all Europe is op-

single exception of England. The ball
! ance of power is disturbed, and new
and untried element is thrust into the
| calculation which antiquities the meth
| DDS and disturbs the results which so long
have had vogue. American philanthro-
! py is new and worse form of English
cant and hypocrisy
The cars peace proposals are rooted
In his honesty, and in his sagacious
knowledge of the burden under which
civilization is breaking down. The agree
| ment not to increase armaments for a
term of years is made to appeal to the
British public by the assurance that the
mistress Of the seas can maintain her
| supremacy under the status quo with
| out further expense. The outcome Of
| the conference. it is hoped, will be a
! board of mediation. to which disputes
| shall be referred, SO that nations will at
least be compelled to mediate before
| they fight The book is a thoroughly
readable account of a three months po-
| litical pilgrimage about Europe.

s.PenaIffesE of Taste.n

'"The Penalties of Taste and Other Es-
says Norman Bridge. Herbert S..
Stone & Co., Chicago and New York.
For sale by the St. Paul Book and
stationery conapaay.
Since all the wise people who have gone
before have left us-nothing new, to say,
all that we can hope to do is to dress UP
old ideas in fin Ne-s1ecle garments, and
then trust to their being accepted by vir-
tue of their smart clothes.
In the half dozen essays presented by
Mr.. Bridge for the consideration of the
reading public, though nothing either
new or startling is brought to light,
many sensible things are said in a very
sensible manner. With the exception Of
'The Penalties Of Taste" in which the
of a certain, class OF people who mistake
surface imperfections for vital faults, and
quite overlook the intrinsic value Of a
mans character while they condemn
his taste in ties, the essays will appeal
especially to- mothers and teachers, for
they offer much valuable advice to those
whose life task Is the training Of chill
dren.
In the essay. "Our Poorly Educated Ed
ucators," one of the most interesting In
an interesting collection, Mr.. Bridge
makes a strong plea for the possession on
the part of teachers of a more general
knowledge Of the common things of life.
There are too many specialists, the writer
contends, and not enough educators
whose lives and characters have been
hardened by the most complete and gen.
era1 educati in those things which, by
means of our environment, we come in
contact with every day.

OF country that in spite of it's present
humiliation has borne very important
part in the work of civilization. 1t was

readers, but it IS equally adapted to the

fifty pages are devoted, but Is the re-

"NO. 8 John Street,

mo. John Street. by Richard White
ing. The Century company, New York.
For sale by the st. Paul Book and Sta
tionery company.
mo. John Street Is an English novel
dealing with the ever new social question.
The publishers inform the public that the
first English edition was sold in four
days, which is tribute to the theme
discussed, for if the purchasers had
waited, as Emerson advised in pessi-
mistic moment. for full year before
buying, the judicious who are compelled
to read for the benefit of their brethren
would have told them never to buy at
all. The scene is laid in the year of
the queens jubilee. and the discussion,
carried through a dreary series Of I'M
dramatic events, points the moral that
there are great inequalities among men,
i've lack of the right kind of religion.
The English slun of Westminster does
not even yield up its cheerful pictur-
esQuenesS, and the author in dealing with
his problem falls into the common mis-
take of endowing No. with thoughts
and feelings to which No. 5 Is frankly
a stranger. No mere pessimistlc wall
against the earth in the interests of
possible heaven will be translated into
signing to hear. Whiteing belongs to
the school Of Dickens and Reade, but he
has neither their wit nor their faithful
ness. He should be advised to read War
ter Besant as a model.

the Darn, which was new one, there were
600 or 700 bushels of corn and other for
age in the place, which was also consum-

roof was falling in. Two valuable mules
in the building saved themselves by push

at the north end of Patterson street for a
number of years. that being the northern
limit Of the city, is being torn down to
give place 10 a magnificent new home. The

surrounded on every side by elegant new
