"The Empire of Business is new
book by Andrew Carnegie, and its
several chapters are made up of pa
pers on the subject of business meth
DDS, which have appeared in various
periodicals. together with some es-
says which have not before been pub
lished. Among the subjects discuss
ed are what Would l Do with the
Thrift if | We're Czar?'' Iron and
Steel at Home and Abroad Rail
roads Past and Present" and "rhe
Bugaboo of Trusts"
The style of Mr.. Carnegie's writ
ings is already well known to the
reading world. and it is only neces-
sary to say that while the subject
matter of the book is new. its views
are those which would naturally be
expected from the author, and that
they are exceedingly interesting, not
only because they are the views of
one of the most prominent figures in
the business world. but because of
their inherent good sense and clear
logic. Even on those subjects upon
which it is possible for two opposite
opinions to be strongly maintained,
he argues his own side of the case
forcibly and well. and those who do
not agree with him must respect his
arguments. The book is likely to
create good deal of discussion, and
to be widely read by those who are
thinking along economic and political
lines.

REVIEWS OF THE WEEK.
A Comedy of Love.

Tho Lady Paramount" by Henry Har-
! Box is a clever little story which may be
called a comedy Of love-making. There
is nothing serious about it, but it is
daintily done. and very entertaining, and
some of the descriptions are poetic in
their beauty. The heroine of the tale is
an Italian countess, as charming a dame
as one could find in many journeys through
the land of books. The hero is an Eng
lish gentleman with a strain Of Italian
ancestry. and the plot. while not highly
original, is intricate enough to afford con-
siderable amusement.
There is nothing prettier in spring lit
erature than the chapter which describes
the scene in the arbor. where the lady
Of the rom nee has been tanning birds.
, This is part of it:
- oh, the fragrance of the roses, said
Susanna. How do they do it? pinch
of sunshine, a drop or two of dew, puff
of air, a handful of brown earth-and out
Of these they dlstil what seems as if it
were the very smell of heaven
But. she spoke in tones noticeably
hushed, as If fearing to be overheard
Anthony looked round
"a moment ago there had not been a
bird in sight Though. of course, the day
was thridded through and through with
the notes of those who were out of sight.
But now, in the path before the arbor,
all facing toward it, there must have
been a score of birds-three or four spar
rows, pair of chafiinches. and then green
fEches, greenfinches, greenfinches. They
were all facing expectantly toward the
arbor, hopping toward it, hesitating, hop
ping on again, coming nearer, nearer.
Susanna, moving softly, lifted the
dragon handled cover from the Chinese
vase. It was full of birdseed.
"'Ah, | see. said Anthony. Pension
ers. But / suppose you have reflected
that to give aims to the able-bodied is to
pauperize them.'
Hush she whispered, scorning his
economics. Please make yourself invis-
ible. and be quiet
Then, taking a handful of seed and
leaning forward, softly, softly she began
to intone:
Tu-ite, tu-ite.
Uccelli. fringuelIi,
Passeri, verdonelli.
Venite, venite!
and so, da capo, over and over again.
"And the birds, hcsitating, gaining
confidence, holding back. hopping on,
came nearer, nearer. A few, the boldest,
entered the arbor they all en-
tered. they hesitated, hung
back, hoped on. Now they were at her
feet; now three were in her lap; others
were on the table. on the table, in her
lap, at her feet, she scattered seed"
That is not all of it, but the rest is
as charming the beginning. The
story is full of sunshine and the scent
of gardens and the song of birds. New

Next TO the Ground" by Martha Nc
CuIloch Williams. is collection OF ma
ture studies which deserves to take rank
among the best. books of its kind. 1t
would be a bad book to prescribe for a
case of spring fever, for 1t would un-
doubtedIy intensity the longing to get out
NJ doors and into the country TO such an
extent that the patient would die If he did
not get there.
There are sixteen OF these essays, all on
..,,,i.cts closely connected with the inti-
mate life OF the farm; and not one OF
them .e in the least crude or unsympa-
tbetic. They are alive with genuine love
of nature and finished with the artistic
thoroughness which causes the reader to
overlook the perfection Of style in the
fascination of thought Among the sub
tects are "PIowing." THE Possnm,
"Niebt Noises" and FOX Hunting" The
life described is that of Tennessee, and in
all the mass OF literature which has come
from the South in the last twenty-five

what John Burroughs has done for New

and Thoreau for Walden. Mrs. Williams
work will, II is TO be hoped, prove the
forerunner OF many others of the same
type, dealing with different sections Of the
South.
Her style might be described as prose

The Washington times., 1902-04-20

Adam digged and Eve span Adam had
no capital and if one may judge from the
sequel neither OF the two was inordnate-
ly blessed with business ability. but this
was before the reign of lDdustrialism be-
gan and huge investments of Capital were
necessary.
The three are equal partners OF grand
whole. CosLbined they work wonders, sep
arate, neither is OF much account. Thus
far notwithstanding the differences that
from time to time have unfortunately rent
them apart. they have made the closing
century the most beneficent of all that
have preceded 1t.
Humanity the world over. is better than
1t has ever been materially and morally,
and have the faith that 1t is destined to
reach still higher and loftier planes than
even the most sanguine have imagined.
Capital Business Ability. and Labor
must be united. He is an enemy to all
three who seeks to SOW seeds of dsunion
among them.
In an address on "Thrift as a Duty"
he expresses his views, which are not
exactly new ones, on the subject of
thrift. To the opponent of trusts the
obvious reioinder to these state
ments is that great ombinations of
capital bring the workingmans wages
down below the living point, so that
it is impossible for him to save and
keep himself alive. However that
may be. this is what Mr.. Carnegie
thinks about it:
The Importance of the subject is sug-
gested by the fact that the habit OF thrift
constitutes one of the greatest differences
beween the savage and the civilized man.
One of the fundamental differences be-
tween savage and civilized life is the alb
sence of thrift in the one and presence
of it in the other. When millions of
men each save little of their daily earn
ings, these petty sums combined make an
enormous amount. which is called capital,
about which so much is written.
II men consumed each day OF each
week all they earned, as does the savage,

THE METHODS OF MR.. CARNEGIE.

! Interest of Labor and Capital he
says:
1t is very unfortunate that the irresist-
ible tendency OF our age, which draws
manufacturing into immense esta blish-
ments requiring the work OF thousands of
men. renders it impossible for employers
who reside near to obtain that intimate
acquaintance with employees which. under
the old system of manufacturing in very
small establishments made the relation
of master and man more pleasing to both.
When articl25 were manufactured in
small shops by employers who required
only the assistance Of few men and ap-
prentices, the employer had opportunities
to know everyone, to become well ac
quainted with each, and TO know his mer-
its, both as a man and as workman;
and, on the other hand. the workman.
being brought into closer contact with his
employer, inevitably knew more of his
business. of his cares and troubles, of his
efforts to succeed. and. more important
than all. he came TO know something of
the characteristics of the man himself.
All this is changed.
Thus the employees become more like
human machines, as it were, to the en-
ployer, and the employer becomes almost
a myth TO his men. From every point OF
view this is most regrettable result, yet
it is one for which see no remedy.
The free play of economic laws is fore
ing the manufacture of all articles of gen.
eral consumption more and more into the
hands of few enormous concerns. that
their cost TO the consumer may be less
There is no longer any room for con-
ducting the manufacture of such articles
upon small scale; expensive works and
machinery costing millions are required,
as the amount per ton or per yard of what
we call fixed charges" is so great factor
in the total cost that whether concern
can run successfully or not in many cases
depends upon whether 1t divides these
fixed charges-which may be said to be
practically the same in a large establish
ment as in a smaller-by thousand tons

Sherlock Holmes Once More.

"The Hound of the Baskervilles," by
Conan Doyle. is the latest adventure OF
Sherlock Holmes, and one of the best.
In it, DR.. Doyle has handled with MASTER
ly skill those elements of the horrible
and the mysterious which he knows so
well how to manage, and the result is
nightmare of horror, which, unreal and
visionary as it is, holds the readers at
tention from the first chapter to the last
The tale deals with an estate about
which there is an old family legend of a
phantom hound, huge, Black, and of fear
full aspect, which pursues the master OF
the house in every generation to his
death. The first chapter describes
mystery of which the core seems to be
this legend, the last Incumbent of the
hall having come to his death apparently
through the agency Of the powers of
darkness. 1t becomes the task of Sher-
lock Holmes and his inseparable friend,
DR.. Watson, to unravel the puzzle of this
sudden taking off, and to prevent a SINH
lar fate from overtaking Sir Henry Bask-
eryilIe. the heir TO the estate, who has
arrived from Canada.
Ii will be seen that this plot has all
the elements necessary to the achievement
of thrilling effects of an unpleasant sort.
and they are there; they are there in
abundance. The characters are all clearly
and vividIy drawn, and there is not
break in the development of the plot;
there never is in the stories of DR.. Doyle.
The character of Sherlock Holmes, ON
niscient and resourceful as ever, moves
at ease in the tangle, and the various de-
tails of evidence fit into one another with
the perfection of Chinese puzzle. The
story stands the supreme test OF adven-
ture stories-it is effective when told in
mere skeleton form, as well as in its cam
plete details. Altogether, this latest ro-
nance is likely to add new laurels to the
collection of its author. (New York: Nc
