vides that the United States may protect

aker, one abrogating the terms Of the
Clsy5on-Bulwe treaty, and the other
striking out the clause that INVITES
the acquiescence of other powers than
England and the United States In the
agreement. There are many amendments
yet to be offered, however. TilIman has
one which permits the United States to
fortify the canal. This the committee on
foreign affairs think Will not he adopted,
and they are hoping to get the treaty
ratified with no mors mutilation than
Is effected by the Davis and Foraker
amendments. They hone that Great
Britain may accept those amendme nts
in the nops that by SO doing she
may maintain cordial relations
with us and stsm the tide Of anti British
feeling which is now rising. Their hope
may be realized, but the comment of the
London Standard. a leading ministerial
organ, is quite in the other direction.
That paper declares that the amendments
are not acceptable to England, ami If the
treaty is offeled her with them attached

that the Supreme Court should hold that
these islands ara territory under the juris-
dietlon Of the United States, but not a
part OF it TO the extent OF being entitled

down in the constitution.
Whether IL lie better for the people OF the

quite another question, and one that
must be answered in just the opposite
way. 1t Is never better, or 30 wen, for
a people TO depend upon benevolence, and

may tax tatit productI or we may admit

Viewed from the standpoint OF the In

1t is to be desired that the court shall

Filipino or Porto Rican would be
very short sighted not to wish that the

From Messrs. Dana Estes g. Co. port
land; Loring, Short g. Harmony we have
two beautiful volumes entitled Paris In
Its Splendor, by r. A. Reynolds Ball,
author of Cairo, The City OF the Caiiphs,
etc. For Christmas, or wedding gifts, or
to adorn ones own library, few books
will be found more attractive than these.
They are beautifully bound In white and
gold, with sliu ooveis of red, and cause
60 match, aud each has thirty-four full
page illustrations.
The author quotes Lavalles in calling
Paris fla Metropole de la Civilization
Moderns." 1t is frequently spoken of as
1.-THE hsart and brain or France, land in
this case Mr.. Ball thinks the metaphor
contains more truth than such epigrams
usually express.
He adds: lin these two volumes no
exhaustive treatment OF any Of the vari-
GUS phases OF the story OF Paris has, OF
course, been attempted. have merely
tried to give a general impression Of
Paris past and present, and of the more
striking features of the social life of Paris
of today
He has not hesitated to lay under oon-
tribution the valuable and enormous
amount OF typographical and historical
material to DO found In the works of
American, English ana other foreign an-
thors, and the result is two fascinating
books which charm alike the lovers OF
art and OF literature.
From the same publishers comes q
pretty little book for ohildren,-The
Countess OF the .Tsnements, by Etheled
Bueze Barry, who also wrote that pathet-
10 bit of tale, Little Tong's Mission.
The Countess is a tiny elf, who lives in

and the sunshine cannot get a pesp at
the little girl. But Carlo, the Contradino
trundling his street piano, is vsry good

DIR. Bradford's book IL delightfully."-

calls this the cage OF Faith" when II Is
usually considered the "Age OF Doubt. :"
He truly says that the days OF authority
are gone. and no one any longer believes
anything simply because IL was formerly
believed that the truth for an age Of
faith must above all other things bs
reasonable. and whatever oontradicts
reason and the moral ssnse cannot be OF

Few persons" says the author, "issl
more keenlv than the baleful influences
OF current skeptioism. One must be
blind not to see that It has infected the
well-to-do classes, penetrated schools
and colleges, and found its way even into
factories and clubs for working men and
women. Bnt this Is by no means all that

actiy the opposite is true. The funda-
mental assumption of science is that
something Is real, and that that reality
may be discerre ed. No man would spend
his life In wearisome Investigations II he
we're convinced that, as the result OF his
labors, he would be left In the same
darkness in which he began them. The
scientist Is of necessity q man Of faith.
He searches for something In which he
believes, although for him, when he be-
gins, the object OF his quest has only
imaginary existence. Faith, as an intel
lectual attitude, is the same whether 1t
affirms the law of evolution or the being
OF God. Darwin used faith as TRULY as
Paul. They had the same ment tai atti-
tude, although their minds were directed
to different objects
Honest investigation can never work
