BOOK NOTICES.

Somewhat of Liar Myself" by J.
w. De Vose, with introduction by
Joseph Tyler Butts. f. Tennyson Neely
Co, ia Fifth avenue, New York. Cloth
81 90. This title of this volume is an
appropriate one. In it's pages the imag-
ination is given full play, and as a
result there are some remarkable tales,
but they are all entertaining-so enter
tanning, in fact, that the reader wishes
the book were longer. 1t is useless to
undertake to give an idea of the book
One must read it to fully appreciate it.
If one wants an almanac and ency-
clOpedia for 1902, in one book, he will
get that published by the New York
World. 1t contains over 500 pages of
information, chiefly on political and
economic subjects. The platforms of
the political parties, the candidates, the
vote cast in each state, town and
county. information about the patent
right and copyright laws, church sta
tistics, facts about secret societies and
fraternal organizations, the death roll
of 1901, the revenue taxes, facts about
the great departments of the govern
ment, college statistics and vast num-
Der of other subjects are treated in it's
pages. The World Almanac has long
been known as a necessary piece of
furniture to every home and office. It
is consulted by those who are wise
enough to have it, a half dozen times
or more a day. It's cost is infinitesimal
in comparison TO the benefits derived
from it. The World Almanac, Office
of the New York World. New York
city.
The Tribune Almanac for the year
1902 presents a very attractive ap-
pearance, having a bright red cover.
If it were not for the weighty matter
between its covers one might suppose
that this reliable old publication, which
carries information to so many homes
and counting houses, was getting gay
in it's advancing years. AS matter of
fact, however, the volume was never
more sedate than it is the present year,
and never more replete with just the
sort of information that makes an al
manac of the better class valuable
There is no use enumerating the va
rious kinds of information to be found
in it. 1t is sufficient to say that if any
one wants a good almanac, and at the
same time a register of political events
that can be relied upon, the Tribune
Almanac will fill the bill completely.
The Tribune Almanac, Office of the
New York Tribune, New York city.
The Philadelphia Public Ledger AL
manac for 1902 is one of the most de-
sirable of the almanacs published in
this country. 1t does not contain as
much information as some of the other
almanacs, but then it is given away to
the subscribers to the Public Ledger.
In it's pages there is vast amount
of valuable information. The Public
Ledger, Philadelphia, Pa.
Floating Treasure" by Harry Cas-
tleman. Henry r. Coates &. Co, pub
fishers, Philadelphia, Pa, publishers.
Cloth, $3.50. This is a particularly
bright and entertaining story. Boys,
however, will be more appreciative of
it than older people. Still, people of
mature minds will find much in it of
interest. The story is we'll told, and
the writer shows that he has a COM
prehensive understanding of human
nature.

Here is what a veteran sea captain
says as to how seasickness affects
women: They suffer more generally
than men, but they don't make such a
fuss about it. A man goes to bed,
where he passes the time groaning
and swearing until he is able to come
on deck again. A woman fights the
malady until she can fight no longer.
Then she becomes quickly maudlin
and pathetic. Almost invariably she
asks three questions: DO people die
of seasickness? How far are we from
shore?' How long before we shall
Iand?' When man Is good and sick
he doesn't care when he is going to
land-rather hopes that the ship will
go down, in fact"

vigorous campaign all over the state.
No man in public life takes deeper
interest in national questions and in
party politics than does Senator Jones.
He was elected chairman of the Demo-

elected chairman of the Democratic
caucus of the senate in 1898, and in
1900 was reelected chairman of the
Democratic national committee. There

MISUNDERSTANDING WEDDING.

Alexander of Macedop Did the Thing
on Generous Scale.
In these days Of record-breaking
there is still one record handed down
to us from classic times which remains
unbroken. 1t may be called the we'd
ding record, and was established by
command of the all-conquering Alex
ander of Macedon.
This largest and most remarkable
wedding since the world began took
place at Susa. When Alexander the
Great had conquered Persia, wishing
to unite victors and vanquished by the
strongest ties possible, he decreed a
wedding festival. Alexander married
| Statira, the daughter of Darius; 100 Of
| his chief officers were united to ladies'
| from the noblest Persian and Medean
| families, and 10000 of his soldiers
married 10, 900 Asiatic women. In fact,
| 20,202 people were married at once.
| Moreover some marvellous caterer
! whose name deserves to have been
| handed down to posterity managed to
get up a feast for all the brides and
bridegrooms, and for a vast multitude
of guests besides.
They had the most splendid arrange
ments. On plain near the city vast

the richest tissues, while the gold and
precious stones which ornamented it
would have made your eyes blink. At
joining this building was 100 gorgeous
chambers for the hundred bridegrooms,
while for the remaining 10000 an outer
court was inclosed and hung with cost
ly tapestry, and tables were spread
| OIIfSide for the multitude.
A separate seat was assigned each
pair and all were arranged in a semi
circle on either hand of the royal
| throne.
Each bridegroom had received a
| golden vessel for his libation, and
! when the last of these had been an
nounced by trumpets to the multitudes
without the brides entered the banquet
hall and took their places.

Mrs.. Virginia G. Norton. sales
woman In an Oakland, Cal, candy
shop, Is claimant for portion OF
1ha millions which were Paid to the
tUnlted States government as indemnl-
~ for the destruction Of American
merchant vessels by French privateers
IN 1879. Mrs. Norton is half-cousin
OF Madame Lillian Nordica. the grand
opera diva, who, as a relative of Icha-
bod Norton, the continental ship own
er who lost through the energy of the
French privateersmen, recently filed
claim In Washington through Thomas
b. Reed
But Mrs. Norton of Oakland, who
has retained an attorney to press her
demands, declares that she is of closer
relationship to Ichabod Norton than is
the celebrated singer.
1t was through the publicity given
to Madame Nordica's move upon the
French spoliation indemnity that Mrs.
Norton decided to begin a fight for
share OF the millions.
Woven about this old story Of con-
tinental days is an interesting narra-
tive, replete with romance of the sea,
and the preservation for more than a
hundred years of the record which, it
is hoped by the Oakland candy girl,
will reap fortune for her.
Ichabod Norton was one of the
many ship owners of New England
who suffered from the activity of the
tricolor privateersmen during the
troubles between France and the new
republic following the Revolution.
When France in 1903 paid over to the
United States some 20,O00,000 in set
