Doubleday, Page & Co, New York,
have just issued an attractive volume
entitled Andrew Carnegie, a Charac-
ter Sketch of His Life" The book is
by Barnard Anderson and contains 230
pages, is clearly printed and well illus
trated with eight fine portraits and
views. The extraordinary career Of Mr..
Carnegie makes a correct and reliable
sketch of his llfe-such as this work
furnishes-not only of great human in
terest, hut of especial value of the hun
dreds of thousands of ambitious young
men VINO are striving to forge their
way out of 0bscurity to the ranks OF
the men of business note and success.
Mr. Carnegie's career appeals especial
ly to Americans for it was here that
he came from Scotland when mere
lad with his father whose business in
the old home country had become I'M
profitable because of competition. Here
the boy Carnegie valiantly set to work
for a dollar a week to help along his
parents. The story of the lads strug-
giles, ambition, pluck and sturdy
tenacity, despite i'll health, show the
| lads mettle and worth. His decided
start in life began when, his qualities
having attracted the attention of Tom
Scott, the railroad magnate, Mr.. Scott
attached him to his service and rapidly
| promoted him, finding young Carnegie
| had the right stuff in him for RESPONSE
BILE places. The story Of his entrance
| into the iron industry and his sure
| grasp of the situation and rapid and
unerring adaptation of means to an
end, the boldness and celebrity of his eX-
| ecution of great plans for the develop
ment and enlargement of his already
vast plants, reads like a romance. The
remarkable foresight, acuteness and
| business ability of Mr. Carnegie are
clearly brought out and his other DOM
mating qualities of mind. His sale Of
his vast property to the Steel Trust,
enabling him to carry out long cher
ished plan of retiring from business as
soon after sixty years Of age, as posi-
bic, his purchase of his Skibo castle
and his vast benefactions in the shape
of libraries together with an estimate
| of the man as a citizen, and many in
teresting matters concerning his per-
sonal political and patriotic views, are
embodied in this eulOgistic work, which
presents for the first time an adequate
record of the beginnings of the great
| iron master and philanthrOpist, as we'll
as the working out of his ideals. Price

Aunt Abby's Neighbors'' is an en-
jOyable and uplifting book by Annie
Trumbul Slosson, which is published
by the Fleming H. Revel Company,
New York, and has gone already into
lis third edition. 1t is the story Of a
quaint. l0vable New England charac-
ter, who is Aunt Abby 10 everybody in
the village, who lives a quiet but busy
self ovgetful life of service for others
and leaves behind her q host Of pre-
cious memories in the hearts of all VINO
were privileged to know her. OF the
book the Sunday School Times we'll
says: Mrs. Annie Truinbull Slosson
has never done finer work than in
Aunt Abby's Neighbors.'' 1t reveals
the genius of the writer in perhaps
greater variety and richness than in
any of Mrs. Slosson's previous books.
The readableness of the book is its
most obvious charm; the uplift of it is
still more remarkable. 1t throws
searchlight into ones own life and
heart and irresistibly inspires to better
living" The book has also special
Connecticut interest. The author has
added lustre to the name of distln-
guished Connecticut family. She is a
sister of DR. H. Clay Trumbull, editor
of the Sunday School Times, and OF
the late DR.. J. Hammond Trumbull the
noted philolOgist Mrs. SlOsson is her
self a naturalist, being one of the high
est authorities on the moths and but
terfiies. Her chronological collection
is extensive and practically all Of her
own gathering. With rare art Mrs.
| Slosson intimates rather than directly
states profound spiritual truths
through the quaint revelation of her
characters. Her art is thoroughly orig
inal, delighting in the felt powers Of
the intangible and the shadowy, while
yet moving in an atmosphere of rustic
simplicity Price of the book is one

There are many fertile sections Of
country where, for lack Of enterprise
or over-conssrvatism Of the inhabitants,
many opportunities of financial and
social progress are allowed to pass UNI
improved. A striking instance Of this
occurred i'm parts of the state Of Miclii-
gan, where for years hard times OK
listed; but with the introduction of tho
beet sugar industry the price OF land
has been doubled and all the wheels of
commerce set in active motion, giving
good times to every industrious person.
Similar results have been experienced
i'm many other places, for example In
the state OF Iowa. AS long as grain
growing alone was depended upon,
people steadily grew poorer, but the
dairying industry WIS introduced
about twelve years ago, bringing with
it prosperity. AS a natural consequence
stock raising followed, and now farm
ing is "tooming" throughout the state.
Similar results followed the introduce
ton of cheese manufacturing into
Prince Edward island. In fact, where
ever dairying has been advisedly aud
widely introduced, it has brought thrift
and greater or less degree of prosper
isy. = Montreal Family Herald and
