IN THE SWEET SUMMER TIME.

We have had some summer this season. If all goes well, we shall have some more. At the first onset of the high temperature the newspapers heightened and blackened their scare headlines preparatory to making out the heat as big thing as possible. The most prominent news item of each edition was the record of those who had been knocked over with the heat, in the street, at their daily tasks or in their homes. This was encouraging and calculated to make the ordinary mortal say to himself or herself: !'I wonder if my turn won't come tomorrow? Oh and ah! wonder if this awful heat will last another twenty-four hours, and if it does wonder if I'll live through 1t? Oh and ahl Oh and ah!"
 So they made the most and worst of the heat and enjoyed thinking how they suf- fered.
 The heat prostrations and the deaths from sunstroke occurred oftener than otherwise among the very poor, those who do not know enough to bathe them selves and would not do 1t if they did. They simply lay down and smother in their own skin incrustations, woody. un- clean clothing and their own microbe sur charged atmosphere.

A Girl of Ideas.

Ellnor wrote a novel. And the worst of 1t all was that one one would publish it. Naturally she burst out crying, as who wouldn't? But Elinor wasn't to be trihed with by any mere book-printer. She knew she was clever and had ideas. So the next morning she went down town, hired a lovely office. put on her door, "E. Day. Ideas," and sent out cir culars to poor over- worked authors, who had thought and thought until they couldn't think of another single book title or subject for a special. to come to her for first aid. The interesting part is that Elinor's office after this was crowded; literary folk stood in line and screamed so for help that she was obliged to keep big ledgers and appointment books and charge large prices. If you read the book you will find great many ideas, without charge which Ellnor has carelessly left loose on each page. Of course, Elinor married a great author to whom she once sold the idea for the best story she ever wrote-though he was cruelty ac- cused of plagiarism, because Elinor for- got to check off the idea as taken" and disposed of the same thought to the edi- tor of the Arizona Bot-Fly.

A Contest of Civilizations.

This new volume of the American Com monwealth Series is not intended for a history of Texas, but is a study based on that history, aiming to give picture of the process by which this youthful giant State has come to be. Professor Harri- son traces its beginnings in the Pre-Colo- nial explorations of the Spaniards and the gradual incoming of French and Span iard settlers; these narrate summarily the passage of Texas history which are associated with the early years of the United States and the period of the Mex lean war. The Americanizing of the country is rightly ascribed to the Austin colony. Texas has a very interesting past, and its future progress is well in- dieated by the particulars given in the closing chapter. Houghton, Mifnin & Co Boston,,

 Look about you at the foolish people who are so distressed by the heat Most Of them are clad in woolen clothing only a shade lighter than they wear in the coldest weather. Why, even the four footed animal has sense enough to shed its fur In the summer: man Is the only creature who apparently does not know enough to do this. Awfully stupid, we are! There are a few simple suggestions that will help anybody to keep cool in the hottest weather. Do not lose sight of the virtues of water. Sprinkle 1t free ly upon floors that cannot be wiped con- veniently. Take a bath twice a day If you can, and three times won't hurt you. See that the children are bathed before they are put to bed at night Trouble some2 Yes. But not half so troublesome AS sunstroke Wear the thinnest, Hghtest clothing possible. and dress your family in the same way. The conventionalities of ralment put upon us twice as much dry goods as we ought to wear in hot wealth CT or with the superfiuous half of it. Nobody but yourself will know any bet ter. and you will be comfortable. Drink great quantities of water. too. Eat only half as much, food as usual. Let 1t be of the lightest quality, such as fruits, vegetables and cooling drinks. Avoid meats and heating drinks. Finally. keep cool in your mind. Don't fret and fume over the heat. Put it out of your mind altogether. What are you here for, If not to control your thoughts and sensations?

The Wars of Peace.

An absorbing story of the methods of trusts and their consequences. While the picture is not applicable to all mod ern combinations to control trade, it is so real that the reader at once begins to feel himself in the atmosphere of the business life of to-day. The moral de- terioration of educated men with high ideals drawn into the struggle for power and gain, is described with a strong hand. The leading characters have their counterparts in men and women whom we know. The story is prophetic. It carries a message in itself without any attempt at sermonizing. 0ittle,~ Brown & Co.,, Boston,

Like the picture of I.'Hermitte. it represents Christ in the surroundings and conditions of the life we know. We wish MT. Pyle had been A better student of the Gospels and had not. for instance given further to the notion that Mary of Bethany was a woman of impure life. We miss also in the book all sorts and conditions ot men except the very rich and servants or the very poor. Nor has he succeeded in making the scenes in which Christ and John appear real to us. They are quite unnecessarily squalid-and the scenes in the gospels are anything but that (Harper & Bro. N. Y).

The Black Lion Inn.

Cleverness. humor, and originality are to be expected from the author of the popular "Wolfville' stories, and the traveller looking for an entertaining book to take on his summer journey can find nothing better than The Black Lion Inn, a collection of short stories. chiefly of American frontier life. admirably illus trated with spirited drawings by Freder- ic Remington The stories range from life fin the Bowery in the Pitt Street Emergency. to scenes in the Indian Ter rftory, in Mexico. and among the steam boat gamblers of the Mississippi river. One and the strongest and freshest of the stories is When the Capitol Waa Moved, the scene of which Is laid in Texas, introducing Sam Houston. that strange American. the triumphs of whose thrilling career belong to day long past. Of him the story teller pithily says: "old Houston, by all rumor and tradition. was mighty likely the most presidential pres ident that ever kept republic guessin' as to whatever he is going to do next.

The Kaiser,s Speeches.

The reader of The Kaiser's speeches will be disappointed-pleasantl disap- pointed. For the collection is not a col lection of addresses, but a running conn mentary on German imperial policy s.nce 1888, with illustrations and suggestions from the utterances of the Emperor. The editor declares the Kaiser's purposes to have been ito preserve the peace of the world, nabling Germany to develop in formally and the reap calmly the fruits of her industry. commerce. science, in vention; to strengthen the bonds of CO., hesioD which hold the empire together; to foster and direct the expansion of Ger many in political and commercial fields !" The extracts from the speeches are given undtr significant and appropriate heads and the resultant impression upon the reader Is good. There are occasional vio- lent outbrusts recorded, but the general effect of the volume is to show the Elm peror a real diplomat in his dealings with public men and public questions, instead of the rash and impetuous head strong war led so many think him.

Call of the Wild.

This is a fine dog story, but 1t is great deal more than that. Through the history of the kidnapped St. Bernard Buck, his subjugation by the law of the club. his adventures in the Klondike, where he becomes famous as a superb sled dog, his fights for the mastership. his duel to the death with rival, the abuse and suffering he endures with un- conquerable soul, his one great love for A. human being and the deeds that love prompts, and, finally, his revision to type. his yielding to the "call of the wild until he becomes a magnificent savage, the leader of a pack of wolves-through all these incidents of Bucks career Mr. London shows us, with a cold, clear viz orousness that suits the subject, the Life of the Far North. One feels that around Buck Is passing q wild, hard shrilling strife for existence, for food, and for gold. The human figures are strongly drawn; and although there is no love tale in the book, it's romance is fas- cinating. In point of execution this story seems to us the best that MT. London has put forth. It takes hold of the atten- tion irresistibly, and keeps that hold to the end. word of special praise should be accorded the original and effective color illustrations.
