The Right Hon. Joseph Chamberlain.

At a time when Mr.. Chamberlain holds
the middle of the stage in British politics,
ard has put both great parties in an en-
barrassing position for which they can
fnd no Light in precedent, sketch of his
lie and career such as Mr.. S. II. Jeyes has
provided in 1Mr. Chant erlain. His Life
and Public Career" Edward j. Clode)
is peculiarly welcome. In one sense it is
Campaign life. for the author adm res
the Birmingham statesman and presents
his actions in the best light notably his
conduct in the South African troubles.
At he same time it is no mere eulogy.
Political events in England for the last
thirty years are related In the flowing,
popular style that attracts readers to Mr.
Justin McCarthy's histories and are told
not unfairly, though the place given to
NJ Chamberlain is naturally prominent
perhaps unduly so.
1t is so difficult to put ones finger upon
accounts of historical events that are now
happening or are only recently past, that
book like this will be found very Use
'uI by all interested In British politics.
Particularly because, as 1t does not assume
the dignity of formal history, it can deal
with Incidents Of feeting interest and with
aL4sons understood at the moment which
the formal historians pass over, but which
puzzle the contemporary student. Mr..
Jeyes is always readable and his hero is
picturesque political figure even 20 those
h. do not entirely admire him

The Maids a Paradise.

Mr.. Chambers's romanccs possess
more power to thrill the reader than
any similar stories appearing to-day.
Convincing situations, wealth of i'm.
agination and the absolute charm Of
his heroines are leading character
istics. The Maids Of Pdradisc is his
latest and best. So soon as you meet
the daring American with his COM
mission in the French Secret Service,
and the young countess with her
socialistic leanings, you are wrapt in
the book.
Hesper.
"The Captain of the Grey Horse
Troop" was deservedly popular, but
Hamliu Garland has surpassed it in
Hesp~. The stir OF the Western
spirit pervadcs it. In taking his
heroine from the midst of New York's
most intense conventionality and
placing her, by strange accident, in 4
raw mining camp, destroying, chapter
by chapter, all her accepted social
beliefs, he carries the reader con-
vincingly with him. You come to
love, with her, the freedom of tho
hills As love story, the book is
strangely delightful

monsieur Beaucaire," with all
its popularity, has not the fanciful
charm, the delight of surprising cpl
sode which Booth Harrington has
put into this American love story of
the last century. 1t has but few
actors, yet in stage parlanoc they
form an call star cast" The piquant
Sylvia, the dashing Fentriss, the
irascible, but long-suhering parent,
and Sudgeberry the unprecedented,
whose Like was never before seen in
fiction, combine to make Q story
whose humor will live long beyond
the age of contemporary fiction.
DR.. Lavendar's People.
Mrs. Deland has a place Of her
own in American creative literature.
This latest achievement finds host
OF the friends OF "Old Chester Tales"
awaiting it. The beloved old doctor
is more seasoned in his simple ways,
and takes his same position as coun-
sellor in the tragedies and comedies
of the old community. This book
ranks with "Cranford," yet with
more of a delicate humor in its
makeup.
The Relentless City.
The author Of 'Dodo" pictures
New York as a great task-master,
stern and relentless, in this powerful
novel English and American Cup
per society" supplies the actors in his
drama, and the whole is a wonderful
piece OF work, intensely interesting,
humorous, scathing. A novel of the
year that will demand attention and
excite wide comment. You cannot
afford to overlook it.

An important bill introduced in the
House provides for submission of a
constitutional amendment which will
change the exemption law for the ben
eft of the poorest class of taxpayers.
AT present 5000 worth of household
goods is exempt. The proposed amend
ment will make 5000 worth of personal
property of any kind exempt. The as
SCISSOR now is required to assess me-
chanics' tools or the COW of poor wild
ow, even though the owner of the tools
or of the COW may have far less than
5000 worth of household goods. The
furniture of laboring mans home
may be worth only $50 or 800, yet he
must pay taxes on the tools with which
he labors, while the richer man with
more than 5000 worth of household
goods gets the benefit of exemption to
that amount. The proposed change
would make comparatively little differ
ence in the revenues collected, yet
would, its authors believe, be boon
to those in poor circumstances.

TINE season of catching cold is upon US
The cough and the sneeze and the
= nasal twang are to be heard on every
hand. The origin of chronic catarrh. the most
common and dreadful OF diseases. is cold.
This is the way the chronic catarrh gen
orally begins. A person catches cold, which
hangs on longer than usual. The cold gen
orally starts in the head and throat Then
follows sensitiveness of the air passages
which incline one to catch cold very easily.
At last the person has cold all the while
seemingly. more or less discharge from the
nose. hawking. splitting. frequent clearing
of the throat. nostrils stopped up. full feel
ing in the head. and sore intlamed throat.
The best time to treat catarrh is at the
very beginning A bottle of Peruna prop
erly used, never fails to cure a common
cold. thus preventing chronic catarrh.

While many people have been cured OF
chronic catarrh by single bottle of Peruna.
yet, rule, when the catarrh becomes
thoroughly fixed more than one bottle is
necessary to complete a cure. Peruna has
cured cases innumerabe of catarrh of
twenty years standing. 1t is the best. if
not the only internal remedy for chronic
catarrh in existence.
But prevention is far better than cure.
Every person subject to catching cold should
take Peruna at once at the slightest symp-
tom of cold or sore throat at this season of
the year and thus prevent what is almost
certain to end in chronic catarrh.
