This book, by DR.. j. A. Houser, resem-
bles in its contents many other books on
the same subject. 1t contains directions or
suggestions for the development of the fig
ure, the care Of the various organs Of the
body and the preservation of the health
generally, with digressional chapters on
women in Politics." Business Women"
Servants" etc. The directions regarding
the preservation of health are of a prac-
teal nature, and their observance would
doubtless benefit many women and make
them more beautiful by giving them better
health The hygienic contents of the vol
ume are varied by the interspersing of
about a dozen poems on various senti-
mental subjects. Indianapolis: Houser-

Quisan~c.

In writing "Quisante" Anthony Hope has
departed widely from his tales of romance
and adventure as typified by 1.-The Prisoner
of Zenda," and as far from the French
lightness of touch of the Dolly Dia-
logues." This is a more serious work
and one without the popular qualities of
the others, yet it is book likely to leave
a stronger and more lasting impression on
its readers than any of his productions
which have gone before. 1t is study of
a man of almost unknown antecedents,
of mixed foreign blood, of limited means.
an outsider. who comes to the front in
English political life and figures to an ex-
tent in social life. He is not willingly
accepted but is looked on askance by
most of those with whom he comes in con-
tact He has not been reared quite
gentleman and lacks the fine instincts
which make gentleman whatever his
people about him in an offensive way or Is
unpleasantly self-assertive. He lacks
breeding he is insncere, he has little COM
rrehension of the higher morals; he is. I'm
fact an adventurer, selfish and unscrupii-
lous. But he has a remarkable rnind and
q power of expression that. when he
chooses to exert himself-when he has his
''moments"-carry all before him. Even
those who dislike him reluctantly acknowl
edge this brilliancy and power Lady May
Castor. conventional young English
dices of her class, but with something In
her nature to which this strange mans
peculiar characteristics appeal, is fasci-
mated by him. and over the protests of her
friends and against her own better judg-
ment marries him. Her married life is
gradual awakening; she becomes aware Of
all his faults. even his moral lapses; but
IN spite of her mental revolt at these things
she is so greatly under his influence that
she even lies boldly at his behest. After
he dies she declines marriage with man
of her own class, telling him frankly that
life with Quisante has so changed her
that she cannot be happy with another.
She was not happy with him, but to the
last she was in a way still intellectually
fascinated by him. The book is a character
study. Quisante is not a typical, but an
exceptional, man. 1t seems in reading
of him that the author must have some
real parsonage in mind-it has been sus-
pected by some that it was Disraeli, but
whether this is the case or not the author
shows a remarkable power of mental
ANALYSIS. This is most strikingly demon
strated in his portrayal of the causes which
lead TO the enthrallment of a woman of
refinement by a man of whom her judy
ment does not approve and who is in many
respects her inferior. "Quisante'' is book
upon which Mr.. Hope has evidently ex-
pended much thought and the result is
worth while. The Frederick A. Stokes

This is story of court life and ad-
venture, told in the first person by
supposed knight of the time of Richard III,
long after his battles and intrigues are
over. There is much fighting and some
love making in it. The story of Shak-
speares Richard III is practically all in
the book. but the plot is centered else
where. The book closes with the famous
battle of Bosworth Field, where Richard is
run to earth and meets his death. The
author, Knox Magee, favors readers of the
story with his portrait as a frontispiece.

The Cruise of the Pretty Polly.

When 1t is stated that this is story by
W. Clark Russell. 1t is hardly necessary to
add that 1t is sea story and good one
Mr.. Russell has written many stories, all
of the sea, and all good. There may be a
little sameness in his descriptions of ocean
scenery and of nautical life and action. but
they are always graphic. and any criticism
that might lie in this regard is more than
counterbalanced by the originality of his
plots and the unfailing entertainment of
his stories. 1.-The Cruise of the Pretty

City Controller Johnson has the capacity
to prepare financial statement which can

current expenses We're $1,022. ISIS. To this
amount should be added s1ss, 1850. the
ments, making total expenditure of
N.2O9,52l.&. This means that the expenses
of the city. including permanent improve
ments, during 1900 were $292, 653 4S in excess
of the receipts from all sources except
temporary loans and the available cash at
the beginning of the year. OF the nature of
these permanent improvements no infor-
nation is given by the controller; in fact.
1t is no part of his duty in making re-
port. On general principles, however, the
expenditure necessary to keep up the city's
plant, so to speak, should not be called per-
manent. The expenditure for the construc-
ton of the new park is a permanent i'm
provement, but the keeping up of the ap-
paratus of the fire department should be
classed as current expenditures. The re-
surfacing of asphalt streets should not be
classed as a permanent improvement.
Another feature of the controllers report
which is worthy of notice are the figures
showing the increase of taxation in the
poses of taxation of 1913, $50, $50, the entire
levy on each slO0 was s155 In 1900 with
the value of taxables at 1923. 753, 030-an in
crease of over $4,000 OO0-the levies
aggregate s1.93 on each $1O0-an in
crease of 80 cents. Comparing the
tax levies of the two periods, it
is found that the State levy has been re-
duced from 50 cents in 1891 to 20 % cents in
1900; the county levy has been increased
from go cents to IS 1-3 cents; the city from
50 cents to 73 cents; the school levy from
q to so cents, and the township from 1 to
2 cents. That is, in every branch of
local government the taxation has been
increased an aggregate of 43 1-3 cents.
while the State tax has been reduced 1-3
cents on each 500 of taxables.
These figures do not touch the large in
crease of taxes for street improvements
and sewers nor the increase of the bonded
debt. but without these the volume of tax
alton for city purposes has increased from
year to year far in excess of the increase
of taxable property. Home-owners and in
vestors who find their taxes largely in
creased the past six or eight years are
asking If there is not a remedy.
