Andrews's Botany all the Year Round.
BY e. F. Andrews, High School, Wash
$IOO. American Book Company, New

q This book is admirably adapted for
botanical work In the average high

this respect meets the popular demand.

yations, and from them to deduce safe
conclusions. He Is first taught to OBJ
serve the conditions of plant life, then
the essential organs of the plant are
taken up, and finally the author treats
of plants as they relate to their sur
sroundings geology. The book is accu-
rate, and sufficiently fuu and complete to
meet the needs OF secondary schools.

THE STORY OF THE SLAVE.

Perth Amboy was New Jerseys chief
port Of entry, and blacks were to be seen

freshly imported and still bearing their
| tribal marks. Adults sold from 5000 to
| $500. The system of white bondage,
known as redemptive servitude, existed
| throughout the seventeenth and elgh-
/ teenth centuries. This form of bondage
| was usually voluntary, and at the exp1ra-
tion Of the term the redemptioners were
merged into the mass Of white population

Many white convicts were shipped tc

in 1886, did not bring about the complete
emancipation of the slaves, although

ROMANCE OF THE COMMONPLACE
:. The Romance of the Commonplace. BY
Gelett Burgess. $3.50. San Francisco.
Paul Elder and Morgan Shepard. j.,
This is volume of modern philosophy,
which ranks in that class of*essays sn1ade
famous by Jerome K Jerome. Mr.. Bur-
CESS says many clever things in his book,
and one may glance. at any chapter and
discover many commonplace things writ
ten in a very uncommon manner '"The
desire to tell secrets writes the author,
rs one of the most contagious of diseases,
and few of us are immune. Some vtgor-
Gus moral constitutions never succumb.
but once an epidemic begins it is hard
work stopping it, and secret on the ram
page is well nigh Irresistible. Tell your
secret, then, broadcast, and let it have it's
way until it dies out. But above all never
confide it to her who asserts she never has
the slightest desire to tell, for there, Like
seed sown in fertile ground, it will ger
inmate and flower long after you have for
gotten it.. aye, and bring forth fruit you
never planted" s-.-
Again ."F 1attery is,' however, an edged
tool, and must be used with care. It is
not everyone who has the tact to decide at

stand"

criticism, and withal, with so much Of
masterful art as to render this book or

No Paper Next Week.

An old time custom among country
newspapers has been to skip an issue
during holiday week, and In consider
alton of the fact that the editor Of THE
STAR has been on the sick list recently
and feels the need Of weeks release
from newspaper work, we decided this
would be an opportune time and THE
STAR will not be published next week.
The next issue will be January Q, 1904.
With the exception Of Christmas and
New Years day the Office will be open
every day to do job work, receive
amount due from subscribers in arrear,
or receive the names OF new sub
scribers.
AT this glad Christmas time when
people haye money, are happy and are
settling up accounts before the new
year begins, why not remember the
printer. Your account may be small
but when six or seven hundred people
owe one person dollar or two 1t soon
