powers. The stamp OF the good news
paper man is upon each one Of these
crisp, vivid recountals of what was
daily passing before his eyes. He
writes to his wife and sister with as
faithful adherence to the stirring de-
tails OF the Boxer outbreaks as he
would show in the reports to his paper.
Unfortunate it was that death came to
this faithful worker in the pursuit OF
his duty.
There is one recent book which has
not attracted the attention due to 1t
and that Is The Thoughtless Thoughts
of Carisabel." This Is a collection of
thirty little satires upon modern foioles
which may we'll stand comparison with
Charles Lambs delightful gibes at pop
ular misconceptions. They were first
published IN the Baltimore Sun, but
now are given the covers they so well
merit
Isa Darlington Cabell, for that is the
solution of the rebus which fathers the
book, is evidently the cherriest Of op-
timists,. but is endowed with that rare
trait of seeing the humor in everyday
commonnlaces. The author has the
trick of drawing the reader on TO con-
the final point is ready for cIinching
and then turning the laugh ON him by
giving the question preposteroue So
Irtion Such delicate wit as Is ex-
hibited in "Thoughtless thoughts ID
rare nowadays.
For those whose old mortar ooaro
still hangs in corner OF the library
there are two little booklets OF verse
which should carry their appeal 10
the heart of every college man. THESE
are ''Songs Of Contentment. by the
late Ralph Gibbs, fellow in English
at the University Of California at the
time of his tragic death, and "Conso-
latio," by Raymond Macdonald Alden,
Stanford, '03. Recent graduates OF
California need read no panegyric upon
Ralph Gibbs poems-they know well
the merit that Is in those beautiful 1T
tie bits of soul whisperings that came
from the pen OF the scholarly young
student. Had he lived he would doubt
less have taken his place along with
Edward Rowland Sill, the greatest or
our California songsters. The Con-
solatio," by Raymond Alden, has a
tender interest attached to itself In
that It Is q memorial to those students
who were carried OF by the fever at
Stanford on the eve of their graduation.
1t is a touching tribute to their mem
ory.
Finally there must be nonsense even
for grown children. To supply enough
fun for every day in the year, even
leapyear, several Of our local testers
have published through Paul Elder
& Co. nonsense books guaranteed to
drive dull care away. The three al
legged cynics. Oliver Herford, Ethel
Watts Mumford and Addison Miner,
have revised their calendar Of wisdom

such accuracy in all the enormous de-
tail of his public life that 1t may well
stand as history OF the last quarter
century OF the Victorian age. Besides
Gladstone the statesman, Morley pic
lures Gladstone the man in a manner
which makes the reader see him in as
intimate a light as If his conception
was born of personal acquaintance
with the great Englishman. Senator
Hoar's story of his own life is the dual
record of his private life and long
public career. In this Hoar does not
hesitate to express his candid opinion
about some OF the men and events
connected with Congress in bygone
years. His opinions are always force
full.
OF books of travel and exploration,
Sven Hedin's new book, Central Asia
and Thibet," is easily the leader this
year. This book is the first adequate
description of his remarkable expedi-
ton and it's accomplishments, an expe-
dition so rich in adventure as well as
solid achievement that he has been
called by the London press "the mod
ern knight-errant of science" All these

including, among others, his several
narrow escapes from death: his navi-
cation of 1900 miles in a ferry boat, his
discovery of the remains of cities dat
ing from the third century A. D., with
translations Of Chinese manuscripts
there unearthed: his crossing of the
mountains Of Thibet with the largest
and strongest caravan which has ever
traversed that country, his extraordI-
nary journey in disguise toward Lhasa,
his discovery by Thibetan spies warned
Of his intention to enter Lhasa, his cap
tivity and escort by 500 Thibetans. his
conflicts with them and his voyage in
an English folding boat over twelve
Thibetan lakes.
Sir Gilbert Parker has contributed
"Old Quebec: the Fortress Of New
France" to the seasons list OF standard
books on travel. Americans who make
even brief sojourn in that most indi-
vidual Of Canadian cities feel the effec-
tive and potent spell which It casts on
all who have lived within its curious
limits. Many OF the episodes and incl
dents In Its history are dramatically ef-
fective, and through good use of these
episodes In its founding, in its struggles
and in its intimate connection with the
most stirring period in the history of
the continent, the author has been able
to write charming book.
A somewhat tardy echo Of the Boxer
movement, yet a fascinating book with
al, is the posthumous publication of the
letters written from China by Wilbur
]. Chamberlin to his family. Under the
title Ordered to China" there are
gathered together the epistles which
this brilliant correspondent of the New
York Sun penned during the heat of
the troublesome times following the re-
lief Of the legations by troops Of the

Sandys has spent much Of his life in
the woods, hunting, fishing, shooting,
painting, trapping, or simply camping
out for his own quiet pleasure and re-
freshment. "Trapper jim" is a story;
but the author has devoted himself
whole-heartedly to letting his boy
readers into the secrets Of all the
sports and interests that center around
woods and lakes and streams and
fields, even including sparring. and
stuffing wild creatures that have been
killed.
Cyrus Townsend Brady has written
a good book for boys in "In the War
With Mexico" This stirring story Of
war and adventure, the second to ap-
pear in the Boys of the Service has
a vivid historical setting of uncommon
interest. The amusing and exciting ex-
periences Of Midshipman Ned Denton
Of the Wasp's Nest and his two sailor
comrades, ashore as well as afloat, af-
ford, also, striking panorama OF our
war with Mexico; and it is a question
whether his experiences aboard the
L. S. S. Somers, with the story OF the
mutiny and the account Of her wreck,
or his march with Scott upon the City
Of Mexico, are the most absorbing. The
reader meets, in the beginnings Of
their careers, Grant, Lee, Mcclellan,
Beauregard, Kearny and other famous
generals Of later period.
Every boy likes to read about HIM
self or to recognize in the tale OF some
other small boy just what he would do
himself were he to be similarly stu
ated. Therefore, the freckle faced
youngster will welcome Johnnie" the
story Of a boy, by e. o. Laughlin.
Johnnie is not a good little boy, nor a
very bad little boy-just q boy who
would scare his sister with a live garter
snake or make botch Of his exercise"
on the last day of school like any other
boy. Any boy can find his own picture
in Johnny"
without doubt the sweetest story for
girls, and girls mothers as well, which
has come out this year is THE Awaken
ing Of the Duchess" In this little story
Francis Charles points only too strong
a moral, and yet nothing Of the didac-
tic intrudes upon the thread Of the mar
rative. It is the story OF the awaken
ing Of a mothers love for her only
daughter after for many years locking
her out Of her heart with the gilded
key Of society. The book Is a strong
call to some sorts of mothers.
Aunt Jimmys WilI' is another ex-
cellent story for both girls and their
elders. This attractive story details the
adventures Of a brave, true-hearted lit
tie girl, named Bird O'Mara. At the
opening of the story Bird is left an
orphan by the death of her father, a
painter of much cultivation and refine
ment, who has spent the last years of
his life in the country. A half brother
of her father comes for her and takes
her. soreIy against her WILL. down to

WATER AS MEDICINE.
Said to Cure Dyspepsia IL Taken In
Sufficient Quantities.


A physician has called attention to
the use of water not only as remedial
and therapeutic agent, but also as a
mechanical agent, in the treatment of
certain forms of dyspepsia, especially
those forms characterized by fullness
in the left epigastric region, with fire.

~ allied to melancholia.
Let the patient drink from one to
three pints of water sac hour before
each meal and then comfortably seat
himself in an easy rocking chair anG
rock backward and forward for half
an hour. The rocking will agitate the
water in the stomach, wash the walls
completely, detaching any mucus that
may be adhering and dilute and mix
the contents thoroughly. BY this means
absorption will be more rapid, and as
a consequence the skin, kidneys and
bowels will act more freely, elinlinat-
ing from the blood uric acid and ali
