a book of real worth should be Swallowed

of his life as a Bowery tough of the worst
description. The first half of his narrative
is filled with the horrors of a life Of pow

hero attempt or wish to palliate his mis-

craving for affection which has never been

substitution of modern Typography. This

that there was unsupported tenderness in

the epical and sterner moods of nature

Ballads of Busy DAYS.

Light verses popular in sentiment are
the field Of 8. e. Kiser, who is one Of the
best newspaper verse writer's in America
This collection is typical of his work as it
has appeared in the daily press. Most of
the poems are humorous-not Historically
so, but Of the gentle kind that please the
idle fancy of even the cultured. Tbs fol-
lowing, entitled Genius" is a good ex-
ample of his more serious verse:
Ten thousand times to doubt,
Fen thousand times to let
Hope flicker out.
And yet,
Ten thousand times to start
With hope reborn and old resolves re-
made.
Ten thousand bitter lessons laid to heart:
Ten thousand times to put the task away
AS never TO be tinished-then
To take II up again.
And after all the sweet old dreams are
dead
And all the glad old thrills for aye have
fed,
To hear. some day,
The sweet praise so long denied
And be satisfied.

The Financial Red Book of America.

This work claims to be wholly unique
in it's special field and one of the most val
liable contributions ever made to the finan
cial literature of any period" The work
for which this claim is made is a sort OF
national directory of capitalists and finan-
ciers. In other words, it is a compilation
of the names of those individuals and large
estates throughout the United States that
are believed to be worth 100000 and more.
Although in the main, filed with hard and
dry facts, the pages of the volume reveal
something more than the merely material
statement of Americas wonderful prosper
ity. About 1900 names have been collected
as coming within the requirements of the
work, and these are presented in attractive
style and in manner that makes them
convenient for ready reference and fire.
quent use. The names are arranged al
phabetically, divided by States and subdi-
vided by cities and towns, and in Stats

American people. Such compilation must
necessarily contain some inaccuracies be-
cause the conditions which ii undertakes
to record are constantly changing, and &C

Principles and Ideals for the Sunday
School.

The authors of this book. Messrs. Ernest
De Witt Barton and Smaller Matthews,
have been for many years engaged as
teachers and officers in Sunday-school
work and also as biblical instructors Of
young men preparing for the ministry.
They are therefore qualified to speak from
experience regarding these lines of work.
In Principles and Ideals for the Sunday
School they deal first with the teacher
and secondly with the school from almost
every practical point of view and make a
very full presentation of the general prin-
ciples which should govern Sunday-school
along educational and religious lines. The
book should be helpful TO Sunday-school
teachers and to students for the ministry.
