Tho Summer Fashions.

In the summer styles long, flowing
lines, sloping shoulder effects, quaint
collars and berthas are extremely pic
turesque, and never before have mate
rails lent themselves with such grace
to the fashionable modes. There is no
end to the variety of collars, pelerines,
and other waist garnitures In lace. The
embroidered linens exhibited express in
the highest degree the present luxurious
trend OF fashion; they are unquestion-
ably the novelty of the season. 7 cit

An Introduction to Its History Has
Been Prepared by Arthur Stone
Dewing in n Capable and Pain,tak-
ing Manner.
In AN Introduction to the History Of
Modern Philosophy" Oppincotts) the
author, Mr.. Arthur Stone Dewing, has es-
sayed the performance of a task of much
value and usefulness to the average reader.
The purpose of the work is that of Offer
ing a more simple treatment of the sub-
tect that shall prove useful to readers un-
familiar with the technicalities of recent
philosophical systems. The author believes
that the historical side serves as the only
broad and permanently valuable approach
to the whole field of philosophy. and bis
work is intended as an introduction to the
subject.
The field covered, even in this introduc.
tory form, is wide and important. The
book In its opening discusses the meaning
scope and problems of philosophy. Then
1t goes into the history of philosophv In
general and of the birth of modern phil-
osophy. Continental rationalism is NEXT
discussed. after which comes a keen study
of Locke and his influence, Berkeley and
Hume, Kant, the German transcendent,I-
lists and recent tendencies in pbiIosonbv
with which latter the work reaches its
close.
The volume is not formidable in its arr,v

pages, and should prove attractive 70

No event of the Civil War caused more
general discussion than this massacre. and
1t was taken up by both President Lincoln
and President Davis and discussed by them
with their cabinets at several meetings.
President Davis demanded the surrender
or Mcneil, ordering Lieutenant General
Holmes to shoot the first ten Federal Off
GERS that fell into his hands if the demand
was not complied with.
The author of Robert Dewey has probed
deep into what has always been an impene-
trable mystery concerning the fate of An
drew Allsman. and the story Of the sentence
and execution Of the ten men is graphically
told. The farewell letter is given of Hiram
Smith. the young hero. who died in the
place Of one of the men selected, the change
being made only two hours before the time
set for the execution. The terrible terms on
which the wife of the reprieved man Sc
cured his liberation at the hands of Provost
Marshal W. R. Strachan are truly told and
make the blood boil in the veins.
While the newspapers of not only this
country, but Europe, have frequently dis
cussed the massacre no history giving
full and true account OF II has ever before
been written for general circulation and the
author has not only given his readers some
very valuable historical information not OBJ
tainable elsewhere but readable story be-
