White as a straight, slim column, bearing the

miscellaneous Books.

1.-THE Spiritual Significance: or, Death
as an Element in Life" by Lillian Whit
ing. is a decidedly mystical little book, in
which the author expresses her complete
confidence in the existence Of an unseen
world, in which the spirits of those who
are dead are engaged in doing much the
same things which they did in real life.
Miss Whiting has in her biography of
Kate Field given instances of what she
believes to be communications from Miss
Field to herself after the death of the
former; and in this book are many more
of them 1t is work which will be inter
esting TO spiritualists, theosophists, and
other students of the occult, and to those
who hope to discover the nature and laws
of a possible spiritual world made up of
the spirits of the dead. Mixed with the
spirituality of IL are some suggestions
which must strike anyone as eminently
practical. Some of these are to be found
in the preface, in which the general OBJ
feet and idea of the book is outlined. The
author says:
"A new radiance is impaired to daily
life by seeing it in its true relation to
that endless persistence OF endeaYor
and achievement which constitutes i'm
mortality Nothing is fatal, not even
sin because nothing is final. The In
dividual environment is created, con-
trolled and changed by the person to
whom 1t pertains. Its quality, its re-
sources and it's extension vary In eX-
act correspondence with his spiritual
life. This hypothesis is YiVldly Illus
trated by many personal examples that
might be selected for consideration.

of Nero as the qualities of tho one
differ from those of the other. The
mental attitude creates the outer cir

A snnnet of RevoIt.

Iife-what is Liter To do, without avail,
The decent ordered tasks OF every day
Talk with the sober; join the solemn play;
Tell for the hundredth time the self-same tale
Told by our grandsires in the self-same vale
Where the sun sets with even, level ray,
And nights, eternally the same, make way
For hueless dawns, intolerably pale.
And this is Life? Nay I would rather see
The man who sells his soul in some WHO cause
The fool who spurns for momenta-y bliss,
All that he was and all he thought TO be;
The rebel stark against his country's laws;
Gods own mad lover, dying ON kiss.
