into seventeen parts, each part serving
~ the introduction to chapter. In this
sustained parable Of the Prince Comfortas
the author tells what he calls -the story
Of Gods education Of man" The supreme
end Of life. our author says. is not material
riches oShonors or culture, but the blessed
ness that comes through obedience to those
laws of God that portray His will and
image forth His character Still we find
chapters treating of such ideas as "the
increase Of social happiness through the
new art movement and the diffusion OF
the beautiful @the unhappiness OF the
toolless ages" and such external helps
TO happiness" as Exercise, amusements,
music and travel" One passage In the
parable Of Comfortas tells the story Of the
girl who invented the first door hinge.
Worry as an American trait Is the familiar
subject of one of the essays. Hurry
worry and debt are called by the essayist
the three arch enemies of happiness. Over
work he calls an American fault. If the
German is deliberate, slow in his movements,
sometimes ponderous, and always a lover
of detail: II the Enelishman is naturally
conservative, cautious in changing his
plans and arriving at new decisions-the
American is swift in his intellectual pro-
cesses, quick in his steps. and acts not
slowly, but with instant and decisive
energy"

4 Quincy PaneSyrist.

Quincy, Mass. has had more than it's
share Of fame. II is the birt hplace OF
Josiah Quincy, perpetual candidate for
the Governorship of Massachusetts, the
LAT lest and not the least of long succession
Of worthy Josiahs. In it's town DAYS Il
was the home Of two Presidents Of the
United States, Of two candidates for the
Presidency and Of Henry II. Faxon. As
a city il evolved a much-talked-of system
Il school training and tried various in
teresting municipal experiments. dithy-
ramb on Quincy has been written by the
Rev. Daniel Munro Wilson in .Where
American Independence Began" CIough-
ton, Miffiin 4 Coz. 1t Is not 20 much
glorification Of the town as Of the two IA
nous families who dwelt in II. He demon
strates that II ever our republican institu-
tions go under there will be clerical adu-
latCrs ready for our new nobility Mr.. Viii
son has read the works Of both c. F. Adams
and Brooks Ad1ms, and, being a clergy
man, has taken them literally. without
making allowance for the Adams fondness
for paradox and contradiction. American
Independence, according to him. arose
from the gathering Of Antinomians at
Merry Mount; perhaps he dates it from
the doings Of Thomas Morton there. He
certainly was independent enough. Mr..
Wilson regrets the departure OF that
precious prig and early mugwump, Sir
Harry Vane the younger.
He draws away from the early times,
however, to tell the story OF the Adams
family. 1t is without doubt as true an
instance Of the maintenance OF sound,
sterling American qualities. generation
after generation, as the country can show
but the fulsomeness OF Mr.. Wilson's praise

1t IL difficult not to draw the conclusion
from his statements that John Adams
was the one great statesman Of the Revo-
luton.
He is more sympathetic for the Quincys,
for they were gentle. while the Adamses
were yeomen. We get the impression that
the Revolution Josiah invented patriotism,
but perhaps Mr., Wilson does not mean
that. There are many portraits, especially

The Cry Of the Forests.

We hope that the many books that are
being published on forestry indicate that
the public is beginning to take stronger
interest in that important subject. We
are paying already for the policy OF waste
and the sooner scientific preservation and
cultivation are taken in hand the better.
The problems connected with forestry are
presented in all their variety with the argu-
ments that should decide them in -Econo-
mics Of Forestry" by Bernhard +. Fernow
Ill. d. of the school at Cornell University
(Thomas Y. Crowell 4 Coz. DR.. Fernow
treats the subject from the standpoint
of practical utility. He gives a mass Of
information that every one can understand
easily and should know. The term .econo-
mics" in the title need deter none from

The Great Cherokee Nation.


1t is a pity that NO valuable and inter-
esting a book as Mr.. James Moneys
Myths OF the Cherokee Government
Printing Office, Washington should bc
hidden away As a Government publication.
Whatever added authority the Govern
ment stamp may give to Mr.. Moneys
Investigations can hardly compensate for
the temporary obscurity spread over them
by the form Of publication. The gen.
eral public. which should be interestsd in
them as much as specialists, has no strong
APPETITE for official documents.
Mr.. Mooney has done a thorough and
excellent piece Of work in fairly untrodden
field. While the Indians north Of the Ohio
have been described over and over again
in the histories Of the settlement Of the
Northwest Territory and Of the struggles
on the Canadian border and have pro-
vided excitement for youth in countless
tales Of all degroes Of merit, the Indians
OF the South have been in the main neg
lected. This, we assume. Is due partly
to the fact that the incidents accompany
ing their removal beyond the Mississippi
were less exciting. but more largely to the
smaller output of literature by Southern
authors in the days when the Indian was
the staple hero of fiction. Wecanlonly recall
Mr.. W. Gilmore ,Simns as making Use Of
them.
The Cherokee Ia now the largest and
most important tribe Of Indians that sur
wives. and it was always important in the
days before the white man drove the nation
West and settled il in the Indian Territory.
1t covered a great stretch of territory, the
whole mountain region Of the South. from
Virginia and the Caroinas west through
Kentucky, Tennessee and northern Georgia
and Alabama The tribe had an important
influence on the history Of all that region.
Its history, as told by Mr.. Mooney,
fills over zoo OF his large and closely-printed
pages. The greater part Of this ia naturally
the story OF the nation in its original
home. as the photographic value Of its
career in the Indian Territory is Of rela-
lively lite impoI tance. Mr.. Moneys mar
rative is extremely interesting and much
OF it il new information. 1t is accompanied
by illustrative notes" in one of which he
traces De Soto's journey to the Mississippi
The remaining 900 pages are given to the
Cherokee myths. which have been gathered
from the mouths of old Cherokees in all
parts of the country that was once theirs,
for many stayed behind when the nation
was removed. These will supply eth
nographers and folklore lovers with much
new material. and the general reader. who
only wants the story, with much pleasure
II was work that should have been UNDER
taken long ago and which Mr.. Mooney has
done admirably.
