THE Lower South in American His
tory" by William CARROT Brown. is not
q great book. but it is enc Of the best
books Of its kind yet published. 1t deals
with n theme hitherto somewhat slight
ed and important in itself. More than
that. the spirit in which the author takes
UP his work is precisely that in which
such a work ought to be approached.
and this alone is enough to make the
book unusual .r. Brown is one Of the
lecturers in history al Harvard rniver-
sity. and while for some years resident
Of the North, he is a native OF one of the
States Of which he now writes and has
never lest touch with its life and feel
Ing. The consequence is that he is both
sympathetic and impartial in his treat
meut Of q subject which is even now a
difficult Cuc. and not likely to become
much easier in the near future.
There is a touch Of 2athos in the dedi-
cation. which reads as follows:

Allen Raine, author OF "Mifarwy" and
other tales of the same region. Allen
Raine. who, by the way. is a woman, is
practically the only writer to deal with
this part of Britain, and her work is
always characterized by purity. grace
and daintiness of treatment. There is
practically no dialect, the characters
speaking either in their native language,
which is, of course, translated, or in
English. The heroine of this story is a
sCrt of gypsy creature, wild, mysterious
and sweet-natured. There Is another
girl in the book, Yshbel, who is also
charming. and the other country folk are

Charles Reginald Sherlock. author Of
Your Uncle Lew" a character study
which appeared year or two ago. Those
who read the authors first story had
reason to expect that his second would
be something rather original. and it is.
He has evidently made a study of the old
abolition days and the queer. quaint and
heroic characters brought to the surface
by the turmoil of public opinion, and he
has made good Use Of his study. Not the

So much for the realism of the tale.
1t is not long before the wife discovers
that her husband has about all the
vices with which man can be afflicted
and live. Considering that she has
promised to honor him, the honest
course for her to take would seem to
be that when she. as a Christian wo-
man. can feel nothing but loveless con-
tempt for him, she should go back to
her fathers house. especially as there
are no children to complicate matters.
Instead, she continues to live with him,
and pursues a systematic course of de-
cet with her son and daughter in after
life, leading them to suppose that their
father is all that is admirable and hon
orable, and that she is guided abso-
lutely by him. This sort of thing is
represented as the noble and right
course for a Christian woman, but TO
an outsider 1t looks considerably like
doing evil that good may come. If there
is any text in the Bible that commands
systematic lying for term of years on
the part of a wife as substitute for
legal separation, it should be inter-

The Third Generation.

The Spenders,'' by Harry Leon VIII
son, is novel which seems to go to
prove that in this country it is about
three generations from sh!rt-sleeves to
shirt-sleeves. The author takes a crude
Far Western family possessed OF sev-
eral millions of dcllars and dumps them
in New York, there TO acquire knowl-
edge. experience. and woe in the usual
ways The book is clever enough in
some ways to make one wonder why it
is not cleverer. The conversation is
full of quaint epigrammatic turns OF
speech, and some of the character draw
ing is good, notably the portrait OF the
heroine and that of the hero's pioneer
grandfather, generally known as Uncle
Peter. There Is a bit OF description Of
two characteristic features of Ameri-
can civilization. the what-not and the
Empire cabinet. denoting two stages of
American taste-that description ought
to be framed and printed in all the

a supplement. It is instructive.
There is also a description of New
York in the role Of the ancient city
of Rome, suffering descent of the bar

Marsh, is a sort of new Swiss Fam
lily Robinson story. in which the island
is nearly as productive as that mar

pastor and his family. which appeared
to be situated in all five zones at once.
Also the two male characters have the

is rather remarkable how the law of
natural selection appears to. cast upon

just how to make the best of their

starve to death at the foot of palm

This is. that the great 8oer general,

Charles Stewart Parnell. Mr.. Davitt
says: There is transient likeness 10

is seen in profile, with the hat on, and
covering the large head and broad fore
head which were not conspicuous fea-

more powerful and massive than Mr.
Parnell's, but possess none of the re-

to the latter's looks. previous to his i'll

HOW TO ENJOY A HOLIDAY.

Although the gospel of recreation
more particularly of athletic recreation
has been preached effectively for
many years, there is still some uncer.
tainty in which the manne OF indulg.
ence therein benefits a person. II is
generally believed that the chief OF
sole advantage is tat derived from
physical exercise. An English medical
paper. The Hospital" holds, however.
that another factor is involved. Indeed
it makes the second element the great
essential.
Unless this exercise is taken in such
a way that the mind is fully occupied
by entirely new thoughts, that periodi-
cal holds, is of little value. Rowing,
riding, driving and games like golf do
one good, because they call for concen-
tration Of attention on the avoidance
of danger OF the accomplishment of
some difficult task. or both. Geologic
al or botanical expeditions are prefer
able TO walking so many miles of city
streets or unattraCtiye country roads,
because they operate i'm the same way.

NO FLIRTING IN CHICAGO.

In the spring the young mans fancy
lightly turns but the Chicago courts
do not approve of his turning. No
more flirting. is the irrevocable man
date of the law. 1t is a pastime of a
happy and irresponsible p,st Flirt-
ing is under the bans of a stern court,
and any infringements is liable, no,
it is certain to cast the infr:nger into
the darkest limbo.
What is then to become of the
summer girl? Wherefore should she
ponder over tucks and flounces and
furbelows and invest in fans and para
soils and wells when these things are
! contrary to law abiding happiness, and
when she herself, poor thing. is des-
tined to waste her loneliness upon the
desert air?
1t is only the other day that a
Chicago court advised speedy slaugh-
ter for wife beaters. Now it comes
out against that most popular diver
sion of summer time-firting.
But just how the court is going to
indict the cLlprit, it is left to the i'm
agination to say. Who shall have the
nicely of wisdom to discriminate be-
tween a CHEEKY smile of good fellow
ship and the significant smile of the
masher? ow a the cour obtain
evidence? Will the police capture the
Illicit smiles and smirks with kodaks
and produce them as ~evIuence?
And what Judge oil Justice could
have the heart to withstand the wiles
of the smiles of the summer girl? He
would be more than stone blind, and
callous to every sentiment of exist
ence. The summer girl would come
into court armed with weapons of de-
Tense and aggression, and in a thrice,
would have judge and jury at her feet,
and in the encounter additional scalps
would be added to her string of tro-
phies?
The courts of Chicago have another
guess this time.-"Bill' Griffith.
