A correspondent of the BookmaD
calls attention to the remarkable inn
provement in the mechanical and arts
tic makeup of American books In the
last decade or two, especially in juve-
nile works. The illustrations in the
children's books of twenty years ago
were indeed something fearful and
wonderful to behold" as compared with
the average juvenile volume OF the
present year. In spite of the enormous
increase in the number and variety OF
children's books, the illustrations in
most Of them are highly creditable.
Many of the best artists in the country
are devoting their talents to this kind
of work. The fact is one Of happy an
curry for the artistic sense Of the ris-
ing generation. Even the improvement
in illustrations and binding, however,
is not so remarkable as the increase
in the number Of Juvenile books annu-
ally put upon the market. An exam
nation of the publishers announce
ments shows that the list of new juve-
nile books is considerably larger than
that of new fiction for adults. Most Of
these volumes find profitable market,
for the publishing of children's books
has proved to be profitable branch Of
the trade. The next generation will
be a generation of omnivorous readers,
if multiplicity of Juvenile books can
educate them into that habit. Wheth-
er this is a desirable consummation is
another question. 1t Is by no means
certain that the phenomenal increase
in the amount of juvenile fiction is a
matter for congratulation. The aver
age story for boys or girls is fully as
ephemeral as the average adult novel.
Happily there is every reason to be-
lieve that the boys and girls do not ac-
tually read as much as the large sales
Of Juvenile books would indicate. The
sales indicate the gift-giving propensi-
ties Of prosperous parents and friends
rather than the reading habits Of the
children. The latter as rule pay more
attention to the pictures than to the
text, except where the stories are read
to them. For this reason he increasing
excellence of the illustrations is most
fortunate.

The Indian should have been taught

he was making Il scholar of himself. If
he developed peculiar aptitude for

enough to encourage him in every pos

The Usage Indians of Oklahoma af-
ford the best example of socialism in
the world. The tribe is said to have
$S,0OO,00O cash on deposit in Washing
ton and to own 100000 acres of land
worth another $S000,O00. Their realty
holdings give per capita wealth Of

One thing that the census tells us Is
that the Indians are not only not dis
appearing, but that they actually have
increased 10000 since 1890. Those who
tuggle with figures say, also. that there
are quite as many Indians in the coun-
try to-day as there were when it was
discovered. Taking this into considera-
ton with the wars they have gone
through, not only with the white men,
but between themselves, we shall have
to readjust our previous opinions and
acknowledge that after all they are a
pretty tough, enduring nation.

The wear and tear on the tires of a
heavy automobile is reckoned by one
expert to be equal to four or five cents
mile, which is more than the cost of
fuel. When fines for exceeding the
speed limit and damages for accidents
caused by frightened horses are added
to the cost of the sport, it will be seen
that the ordinary citizen must still con-
tent himself with special train.

CAPTURED BY GUNSAULUS.
The WelI-knOwn Chicago Pulpit
Orator Creates Profound I'M
preston In London.

New York, Aug. 1S.-Rev. DR.. Gun
saulus, of Chicago, has created pro-
found impression by his preaching
in DR.. Parker's pulpit in the City
Temple, says the Tribune's London
correspondent, and adds:
The Chicago preachers high intel
lectuality, great fiuency and poetic
view held the congregation spell
bound at the morning service. In the
course of a sermon, in which was
shown how vain was the mans effort
to span the mighty distance between
earth and Heaven and discover the
secret of the Almighty flame, the
preacher for a moment descended
from his poetic plane and, with dra-
matte outspOkenness unfamiliar to
frequenters of the City Temple, actu-
ally excited the listeners into a dem
onstration of applause. 1t is quite
unusual, even at the City Temple, for
Sunday worshippers loudly to express
the feelings, although at DR.. Parker's
Thursday services the addresses are
occasionally interrupted by murmurs
of approval. DR.. Gunsaulus can,
therefore, regard the cheering as a
very exceptional compliment to his
powers of oratory.
