"John Burt is the title Of a new
novel by Frederick Upham Adams, ap-
thor Of "The Kidnapped Millionaires"
and creator of Colonel Monroe's Doc
trine."
L. Frank Baum, the successful au-
thor Of fairy tales, holds that there
should be no suggestion Of love or mar
riage in childrens literature; therefore
in all his stories the ancient idea OF
the princess marrying the prince, ito
live forever and die happy" is conscl'
entiously eliminated.
Mrs. Humphry Ward is a niece OF
Matthew Arnold, perhaps the greatest
literary critic that England has ever
had, and granddaughter of Thomas
Arnold, the great educator, OF whose
work at Rugby Thomas Hughes has
finely said that "his manly piety leaY-
ened the whole school"
D. Appleton & Co. have secured the
American rights for an English i'm
print of new volume by that astro-
nomical story teller, Camille Flam-
marion, who has done so much to make
astronomy popular not only in France,
but in other countries. 1t will be
called Astronomy for Amateurs"
A strong novel is like a great man
it has many admirers and many enc
mics. No two persons look at things
In exactly the same way. Some people
think 1.-THE Circle" by Katherine Cecil
Thurston, Is one Of the finest and most
subtle portrayals of character which
has appeared this year: others differ.
Some think the plot very original.
According to the current issue Of the
Bookman, the best selling book during
the eight years, 1S95-19O2, was QUO
Vadis," followed by David Harum,"
"The Crisis and "When Knighthood
Was in Flower" Little, Brown & Co.,
the authorized publishers Of Sienkie-
VICES works. state that nearly 100000
copies of "Quo Vad.s" have been sold.
James Pott & Co, of New York, are
about to publish q new book along the
lines Of nature study that promises
much that is novel. This new volume,
entitled "Along Four-fo0ted Trails"
will appear in the early fall. 1t is a
readable and accurate account of West
ern animals, among them the jack rab-
bit, prong-horn, prairie dog, gopher,
buffalo and others.
1t is reported by an American wom-
an who has interviewed Mrs. Humphry
Ward that the portraits of the author
do not do justice to "a very English,
fresh colored and agreeable face"
Mrs. Wards manner is that Of a
"grande dame combined with gra-
ciousness. Mrs. Wards daughter is
described as "an altogether charming
English girl who is not devoted to lit
erary work"
>Of all the famous people with an I'M
dying hatred Of being looked at or hav-
ing strangers round them, Rudyard
Kipling is one of the chief. He takes
extraordinary pains to avoid the usual
consequences Of fame-so much so
that he has recently given up the
house he had lived in so long, and was
SO attached to, and fled from the face
Of man. He settled years ago in Sc
cluded house in the little village Of
Rottingdean near the Brighton, hoping
to escape the world at large. But he
was soon found and besieged by adj
mirers.

CHlLDReN'S INSTINCTS.
"a Z al

Where Appetite Is Concerned They
Should, in a Measure, BE Respected.
Many ways of infancy and childhood
seem to adults unnatural; and if chill
dren chance, as they frequently do, to
exhibit tendencies animal rather than
esthetic, we are apt to consider them
such as to be properly froWned upon.
Yet it might often contribute to ones
eQuanimity If it were borne in mind
that child instinct, more frequently
than reason, is in the right.
For example. the lusty fit of crying
incident to the baby's bath, although it
may prove annoying to the mother, is
one of the best possible tonics for the
infant. The vigorous resp;rations and
increased activity of the muscular It's
sues conduce even more than the fric-
ton Of the bath towel to healthful
glow Of the skin. The infant that is
obstrepeTous enough to resent with
loud crying its nurses efforts to soothe
it, until it is again in f1annels, is not
likely to take cold from it's bath.
Again, in the matter of eating, the
child sometimes exhibits singular ten
denotes. From the time q child begins
to come to the table until the period Of
youth he often shows strong likes and
diSlikes. Just how much tendencies
may be combated is perhaps Of little
moment, but in the quantity of food
desired each child should be a law
unto himself. To bribe or coax a
child to eat more than he wants is
certainly not commendable. Many
who, as children, are extremely "deli
cate" in their eating, develop in later
life digestive organs of superior abil-
ity.
Overlooking is never so fraught with
dangers as in childhood, and in those
numerous cases in which the child in
stinct opposes the eating of as much
food as is ordinarily regarded as nor
NAL it should be respected. In the
event Of a small appetite being the
evidence Of impaired vitality or dis
ease other concurrent symptoms will
be so evident as to lead to consulta-
ton of physician. Glowing cheeks
and sturdy limbs are admirable ana
a delight to the fond parents, but to
many children they are simply not
natural, and ne amount Of food can
produce them.
In many children nature exhibits a
conservative tendency, and the scraw-
ny limbs and sallow cheeks may be an
indication Of conserved energy, by vir-
tue Of which some organ or organs
may not be overtaXed during the grow
ing age.
The diseases Of childhood often re-
suit in temporarily damaged organs,
which time and following Of the
instincts of observation which nature
meanwhile improves may entirely ov-
ercome. Thus it is that many
children regarded throughout child
hood as delica'e and not likely to sur
vive till adult life not only reach man
hood and womanhood, but attain quail
tiles Of extraordinary physical or men
tai viger.
It is well to realize that very rare
ly are there two children even in the
same family similar in their physical
equipments, and that therefore, no
rule Of thumb method Of rearing
them is ever eminently successful.

According to the Mother Goose
rhyme it was the king and not the
queen who was in the countinghouse
counting out his money. We do differ
emily in the United States. Twenty
two women were recently employed
for a month in the Treasury Depart
ment, counting the bills in the re-
serve vaults. The amount which they
handled was $403, 100000, and they
found that the sum was just what it
should have been. 1t is not Anown
whether the king who had the black
bird pie for dinner found his treas
ury in so satisfactory a condition.

One of the things that Americans
are always growing about is the right
to talk. This is merely mentioned to
call attention to the consistency Of a
national celebration in the name of lib
erty which is especially designed to
cause lockjaw, which is the most dan
gerous form of interference with free
speech that is known.

The Industrious man, the plain
everyday kind, we mean, gets to his
work early Three hours later the man
Of marked executive ability drops in to
see that the Industrious man keeps
steadily at work. If everything is go
ing we'll the man of marked executive
ability leaves for the day, for there is
no need for a display of his peculiar
qualities. If everything is going i'll
the man of marked executive ability
quits at once in order that his reputa-
ton may not be compromised by his
presence.

Your most delightful acquaintance is
the man who grows on you. You know
people i'll plenty who do not gain your
appreciation; every time you meet
them they seem more shallow and
more petty than before. Indeed, there
are times when your discoveries of
inner character within the circle of
your associations run SO much TO the
revelation of paltriness that you feel
in danger Of being compelled to dis
count all human nature as q deceiv-
ing sham. But the man who grows
on you saves you from synicism.
Every day you are finding in him
some factor of manhood that you had
not expected; every day he proves in
new test to have resources of
strength upon which you have not
counted in your estimate of him.

Friendliness was it's seed and peace is
it's fruit Nations seem to be reaching
out the friendly hand to one another,
instead of shaking the menacing fist.
The King OF Great Britain not long
ago returned the visit to England Of
the King Of Portugal, and extended
his visit to Rome, where he called on
Victor Emmanuel And although he is
the official head Of the Protestant
Church Of England, lie had friendly
interview with the Pope. Then he was
received in Paris as the guest Of the
nation, and President Loubet soon af-
terward returned the call. The well
come of the English king in France
and Of the French President in Eng
land was so hearty, and the express
sions Of respect so sincere, that one
might almost forget that there were
every any serious differences between
the governments they represent. The
spirit of Cancellation which seems to
pervade the foreign offices in the con-
tinental capitals, under the lead of
King Edward, is manifested in the do
nestle affairs of Great Britain. The
king recently Informed a parliament
tary committee that he regarded it as
patriotic duty to respect the wishes
of the tenants in framing the pro-
visions Of the Irish land purchase bill.
AS further evidence Of his friendliness
he, with his queen, visited Ireland.
The present international amity differs
from the friendliness for the United
States which the powers fastened to
manifest after the successful termina
ton Of the Spanish war; but even that
was evidence of the new spirit. In
former times the rising Of a new pow
er in the world was followed by
combination Of the other powers in
an effort to crush it. There will be
wars yet; but the time is surely COM
ing when war shall be no more.
