BRIEF COMMENT ON WORKS OF VARIED
INTEREST.

INTEREST
Some one said little while ago that the
farm boy was ceasing to exist In other words,
he was spending most of his leisure in trying to
find ways and means Of becoming something
else. Now, Mr.. Henry Wallace author of Let
tiers to the Farm Boy (the Macmillan Com
pany), evidently holds such view. His belief
in the permanent existence of the farm boy is
so great that he has taken the trouble to write
him q series Of letters, giving him plenty of
wholesome advice that does not once fall into
a tone suggestive of gratuitous preaching. He
realizes that other occupations have their at
tractiveness, and he devotes an interesting chap
ter to the subject. II do not think" he says,
that all boys born the farm should stay
1t. There too many of them. It will take
fewer and fewer people to do the farming of the
future; that s-in proportion to the population
fewer and better farmers" But to any boy on
a farm, whether he means to remain farmer
or not, and to boys who have not the good luck
to live in the country, this little book may be
heartily commended for its sound common
sense
Mr. Moritz Verkriizen offers the translation Of
SchilIer's ''Waldenstein's Lager" which he has
made and which he publishes himself a
study of both languages. The American student
who is looking into German may find the book
uSeIul, Tor the original text Is given on one
page and the translation faces it; but the poetic
side Of the task was obviously too much for the
Translator. Mr.. Verkriizen's version is lucid but
not particularly poetical
Answer of the Ages CHerbert A. Stone &
Coz by l. K l. and L. c, w. is little
pilation Of prayers hymns and prose fragments,
from ancient and modern sources, which are
offered Ito those who feel a yearning to enlarge
the boundaries of faith" 1t is pleasant little
piece of devotional work.
In Home Nursing Modern Scientific Meth
DDS for the Care of the Sick Ghe Macmillan
Company, by Eveleen Harrison, many lessons
important for inexperienced mothers to learn
are advanced in clear. intelligent manner. All
the details OF the sickroom traversed, the
prevention and cure of coughs and colds, ques-
lions of nursing and disinfection points in cook
ing for the sick, and hints as to the proper
agement of many emergencies in the home are
all given in admirably brief form and are well
arranged. The book is small, and ought to make
a popular household manual. Another book in
the same class, equally admirable is DR.. Robert
II. Greene's Health Exercises (Harper &
Bros). common sense little treatise on an i'm
portant subject.
Rand, McNally & Co. of Chicago publish
New Atlas of the World" historical political
and commercial in its aim The maps are all
colored and, although very small. are legibIe
and serviceabe for ordinary purposes.

BRET HARTE'S WAR POEM.

FTOIH Inc Troy 1IIHeS
S. H. NJ. Byers, former United States Consul
General of Switzerland and Italy, has recently
published a volume which is very interesting be-
literary celebrities. He gives an entertaining
description Of Bret Harte. Harte himself told
Mr.. Byers the story of his war poem The
ReVeille," and Of the sudden fame 1t brought him
which Mr.. Byers thus reproduces:
"A great mass meeting to be held in San
Francisco. Men were wanted to enlist-to go
out and die for their country, in fact. Some
body must write a poem. said the committee,
and Thomas Starr King, the patriot orator, sug-
gested the name Of young man employed at
the Government mint
The day of the evening came, and with fear
and doubling, Mr.. Harte read his little poem to
Mr.. King. sure it won't dot is not good
enough he added deprecatngly and with self
disappointment. Let read that poem aloud
to you once In his great, fine voice King rem
dered the verses, till Harte himself was aston
ished with his own lines. Still, the judgment of
a friend could be oVerpartial Harte was almost
and crept up into the gallery. All San Fran
cisco seemed to be present. 1t a terribly
exciting time Would California rise up and be
true to the Union only half true? I will read
a poem said the magnificent King, after while.
1T is by Mr. Harte, a young man working in the
Government mint. Who's Harte?' murmured
half the audience. Who's he? The orator
began, and ere he reached that great line For
the great heart of the Nation, throbbng an
swered Lord come the entire audience
were on their feet, cheering and in tears. 1t was
too much for the young poet to witness He
slipped down the back stairs and out into the
dark streets, and. wandering there alone, Won
dered at the excitement over verses he had that
morning feared to be valueless."

THE FRENCH ARE BECOMING LINGUISrs

From The Fortnighty Review.
From an American friend who has lived in
Paris for long time and who knows we'll what
is going on among the weather. classes, heard
that, as regards languages. both German and
English very much cultivated now by the
higher middle class and the aristocracy. Is this
a sign of increasing abatement of deplorable
national antipathies? perhaps the reverse?
In days long gone by-Say, when Rabelais wrote
and still much later on-the French were not
aVerse to the study OF foreign tongues as
they became later Possibly the same might
be said Of England, where centuries ago the
knowledge OF Italian requisite of a good
education.
1t might be suspected that both English and
German more cultivated with a view
&c future hostile conflicts. Were such con-
tingencies to arise, France would probably be
somewhat better equipped in knowledge than
she before the Terrible Year as Victor
Hugo called IL. At the same time believe that
among the younger generation there are large
and growing numbers who have no wish for a
repetition OF dread armed encounters especially
the eastern frontier With many Of them
l think. there really higher aspirations al
the bottom OF those linguistic efforts. They be-
gin to see that the boulevards not the
boundary of the civilized world; that there are
nations Ia bas whose language and literature
merit attention; whose art even, in some
branches, Is TO be admired or studied Witness
the spreading Wagner cult in remarkable con-
tradistinction from former riotous scenes at the
attempt OF making some OF the great composers
works known to a select audience at Paris.

In Laughter of the Sphinx" Mr., Albert White
Worse has written a very unusual book 1t
consists of eleven short stories the scenes all
being laid in the Arctic regions. Mr.. Worse
has greatly prohted by his experience of several
years ago as a member of the Peary relief ex-
petition his work plainly shows that 1t is the
result of direct and shrewd observation. In
stead of writing about the Esquimaus alone he
chooses the wiser course of following the ad-
ventures of an American expedition in search
of the North Pole and incidentally in quest of
scientific lore, using the Esquimaus in their re-
sequentIy the book gives no suggestion of the
unhealthy that marks many tales dealing
with unfamiliar phases of life. The record that
several of the stories give OF the inside history
of an Arctic expedition is very different from
the accounts that reach the public in the form
of lectures and reports Mr.. Worse enlivens it
with humor and with many clever touches OF
human nature To the average reader the
purely romantic stories will perhaps prove most
interesting. One of the best has been placed at
the end of the book. "A Tale of Darkness and
of the Cold It is a beautiful story full OF
humanity and pathos, and it is simply and dra-
matcally told. The stories are we'll illustrated
by F. W. Stokes who has made two voyages in
the direction OF the North Pole.

HHIGH1S AND MEASURES
Annual Report of the Sealer for the
Fiscal Year of 1900.
Receipts of the Office Less Than in
1S99-Inspection Recommended In
Milk Bottles MISUNDERSTANDING and
Private ScnIes-Potato Measures.

w. C. Haskell, Sealer of Weights and
Measures for the District, in submitting his
third annual report to the Commissioners,
covering the operations of his office for the
fiscal year ended June 80. 1900, states that
general conditions are satisfactory. He is
of the opinion that the tampering with
scales and measures has very materially
decreased, and he feels justified in saying
that large saving has been accompli he'd
for the public by the endeavors Of the Office
to educate those interested in the use Of
scales and measures. Continuing, Mr.. Has
kell says:
While our receipts are somewhat less
than in 1899. they are still over 20 per cent
above the receipts for the fiscal year 1897,
