 Mr. Wood already has wide circle
 of readers, his former books, six ir
 number having passed through from
 three to thirteen editions each. He
 stands at the forefront among writers
 upon the new philosophy of life, spirit
 ual evolution sociology and other ad,
 vanced thought.
 In "The Symphony of Life" he pre- 1 sents in concise form the results of his
 ripest study and investigation. For lit
 erary finish, poetic beauty and practi-
 cal suggestiveness MT Woods words
 rank high. The new philosophy of
 health receives thorough and scientific though conservative considerations The
 higher evolution is ably treated, and
 one or two chapters are devoted to Bib l Heal symbolism It is idealistic, but it's
 idealism is practical rather than spec
 ulative.
 Able thinkers who have read the ad- vance sheets predict large demand for
 the book
 This months Everybody's (John Wanamaker, ten cents) makes a pret- ty show of Andrew Langs charming poem, "The Tenth of June" It also has negro song by Howard Weeden, with music, with a tasteful margin decora- ton. A real good story is Fosters "Black Murchison, Tale of the Lum- Der Camps" illustrated by F. w. Fay Tor in effective style. Other good fea- lures are MT. Radcliffe Dugmore's ac- count of the climbing of Mount Katah- din, with photographs and a full de- scrption of the Swiss invention for shooting away hail storms with q sort of huge blunderbuss.
 In McClure's for June Josiah Flynt contributes a new World of Graft" ar ticle called Boston, Plain-Clothes Mans Town" The author has gained his facts by living among criminals in the cities of which he writes.
 "The True Story of Kebeth the Aleut" tells how President Mckinley saved from the gallows an Alaskan Indian, who had been condemned to death un- der most peculiar circumstances. It reads like an imaginative tale of thrill ing adventure, but its authenticity is vouched for by government records. An exceedingly important discovery Is made public for the first time in an ar ticle called Geology and the Deluge," by Professor Frederick G. Wright of Oberlin college. It is a scientific con- tribution of unusual value.
 'Women' is handsomely embellished with half-to engravings from DOT traits of beautiful women of former times. the most recent being examples from Gainsborough, including the beau tiful Duchess of Devonshire, which forms the frontispiece of the number.
 The Worlds Work for June has an elaborately Illustrated article on "The Wonderful Northwest the pictures themselves telling a story of the diver sifed resources and wonderful growth of this part of the country. Sir Hiram Maxim, the inventor, who is known es- pecially in connection with the maxim gun, and who has become a British cit izen, though an American by birth. is | the subject of a sketch by Chalmers | Roberts. "The Negro as He Really | Is" is written and illustrated in most | attractive manner by w. E. Burghart | Dubois professor of economics and his | tory in the university of Atlanta, who | oil hat bn race with authority. There is a paper ln Municipal Ownership" by John Martin; the Rev. s. D. Mcconnell | writes on "The Education of Preach ers;" William H. Burnham describes The Ideal Schoohouse; Charles A. Conant writes on "The Recent Growth If Wealth." "A Magnificent Home of Learning" is an account of the univer sity of California; and there are other papers of interest besides the many in the departments.
 Dr. J. D. Quackenbos, the author of in Mental and Moral Gull ure," has some interesting things to ;ay of the reciprocal influence of hyp- lotism in the June Harper's, Here are tome of the instances which he cites: \ successful attempt to hypnotize a hief at the beginning of my investiga- ions induced an attack of nervous de- ,resson so severe in character that I discussed the advisability of discontin- ling my experiments as measure of afety, In a weeks time I had entirely egained my equilibrium and resumed nv work with renewed zest. A lady vho was the victim of harassing de- usion automatically effected an ex hange of mental conditions with me thereby her unwarranted dejection be- anne so realistically mine that | was bliged to seek change of employment. tt the second treatment, after improve ,ent had begun, no such effect was erceptible.
 MT. H. E. KrehbiePs long delayed ook on "The Pianoforte and it's Mu- ic," (Charles Scribner's Sons), is at ,st definitely in sight. The author has dvanced his writing far enough to pos lively promise it for the early fall. his will complete the quintet of popu- lr books on music which the Scrbner's ave been publishing under the name of The Music Lovers Library. w. J. Ienderson's 'The Orchestra and Or hestral Music" was the first of the se- les. This was followed last fall by [enry T. Finck's Songs and Song Triters," while the two spring publica- ons were Arthur Mees' Choir and
