London, Jan. 3.-Books to the number Of
6,O44 were published last year, showing
a fall of 1,1O5 as compared with the num-
Der issued in 1900, and but for the great
Quantity of new fiction issued in November
and December, the fall would have been
much larger The total number Of new
novels published in 1901 was 1868. In 1900
it was 1913. Poetry shows fall of more
than hundred. OF new works on voyages
and travels, the number was precisely the
same as in the previous year, but in re-
prints there was fall of 40. In 1900 his
tory and biography composed one of the
few classes which showed an increase.
Last year it showed a decrease of nearly
200.

We invited some army officers to

the valuable koawood.

fastened parallel to the canoe by
means of two curved braces of beams.
Ours was at least forty years old,
had been used by royalty, and was

breakers for about half a mile and
then turned and rested a bit, waiting
the critical time to catch a big one

ENGLISH PRINCES MUST
JOIN ARMY OR NAVY.

The princes of the English blood
royal have never been allowed to
saunter through life as mere do
nothings. Custom and monarchical
dignity, of course, severely limit the
number of things to which the heir
apparent and his younger brothers
may apply themselves. Practically
two professions only are open to them
the army and the navy. But with
at least one of these callings the fu-
ture king is expected to ally himself

throne whom one would never by any

SOME TRAITS OF THE COW.
Bovine Family Has Many Human
Characteristics.


"Cows have their likes and their
dislikes,'' said the milkmaid to the
summer boarder who was curious to
see every part of the farm.
For instance, COW admires a
horse and will stand and watch one
for long time. She is sort of timid
about him, but she admires him Just
the same. She has contempt for a
mule, and seems to be amused by
his antics. Hogs she tolerates, that's
all. And sheep she hates. She will
not eat grass where sheep have been.
She hates dogs, too, but will tolerate
the shepherd dog, because she knows
she simply has to, and that the shep-
herd dog will not bite her.
Cattle go wild at being let into a
fresh PASTURE" added the milkmaid.
1T seems to go to their heads. Each
is afraid that the other. has got a bet
ter feeding place than herself, and
tries to drive her neighbor away"
Then there is a good deal of
human nature in the cow, after all, -
unused the summer boarder, who had
studied a year or two at a university,
and was given to philosophical re-
Elections.

the milkmaid "A single cow with a
calf will boss a whole herd of steers -
and, swinging her PAIL over her arm,
she went down to the milking pens.
