measures TO relieve the famine conditions

propriated 81 1000 600. Mexican, to purchase
rice and TO charter vessels to carry the
supplies to the different islands.
IL is proposed to sell the rice for cash
and to distribute il through the civil officials.
1t will be sold at not less than actual cost
including duty. transportation, shrinkage
and storage, thus not prejudcing legiti-
mate competition; but this will result in
the sufferers being able to purchase at
from one-third to one-half less than the
present cost. owing to the exorbitant coast
wise rates that shippers are obliged to pay.
The first rice steamer sailed for the prov
inces OF the Carnarines this morning The

NEW ROOKS.
DR.. van Dyke's "Blue Flower. !"

The Rev DR.. Henry van Dykes latest
book, The Blue Flower (Charles Scrib-
ner's Sons). is not for the indolent reader
nor yet for the self -satisfied Philistine.
He who would know the drift Of the authors
fancy and discern the purpose underlying
the series OF short stories which make
the volume must put on his thinking cap
and give his imagination reign. Ahundred
years ago, the author tells us, Novalis.
The German. began To write the story
OF the blue flower but in the middle Of
the second part he broke OF to take a
long journey. from which he has not yet
come back" The blue flower Is SYM
bolical Of happiness and the stories in this
book are incidents in the endless search
after il.
Az might be expected the author indicates
with no little emphasis that happiness does
not lie without and that is not mortal II
belongs to the internal and tn eternal. 1t
is to be found surely only by those who
have emancipated themselves from the
dominion Of Gin. There Is q deal of good
preaching in The Blue Flower" but
1t is disguised. as novelists are wont to
Disguise their philosophy. In incident and
dialogue and the study Of character. The

that seem to belong TO the epoch Of the
clustered scholar rather than to this busy
day Of swashbucker heroes and sword
and napier tales.
Especially IL this true Of the first two
stories. The Source" and The Mill.
The command of archaic style shown
IN these is eloquent testimony TO the erld-
ton Of the Princeton professor of English,
while the imagination displayed il daii ~
and poetic The story Of the knight WHO
found his whole vocation in defending
mill, miller and millers daughter
Is charming, and its moral is plain TO him
who runs. But perhaps the most forceful
story in the book IL The Other Wise Man
1t tells OF rich Oriental who sought to
accompany the three wise men on their
journey TO Bethlehem TO worship the in
FAINT jesus. He was continually delayed
on his way by the appeals of persons need
ing assistance.

he spent thirty years in following Christ
without catching up with Him. At last he

which accompanied the divine tragedy
He had never seen his King. and, as he
thought. had never served Him. As he
lay dying n celestial voice told him the
blessed truth that his whole life had been

outline OF story told with grace and feeling.
There are other good stories in this volume,
