TO JR OT DIR. SYNTAX IN
 SEARCH OF THE PICTURESQUE

We are glad to have a reproduction of this book, if only because of the many amusing allusions to 1t in Thackray. It must be admitted that the long narrative poem would hardly stand continuous re- reading nowadays, and that 1t seems to border pretty closely on doggerel. Never theless, 1t has decided interest as reflect ing a curious stage of taste and a curi- ous ideal of humor as they existed in England in the early part of the last century. It will be remembered that the inception of this book was with the art ist Thomas Rowlandson, who painted pie ture after picture illustrating the comic situations which a school master, travel ing in search of the picturesque, with an ultimate view of making his fortune by printing his adventures, might be SUD- posed to encounter. The pictures were sent to the author who turned out with astonishing ease rhymes to fit the pic lures. Rowlandson's pictures are repro duced in color and in this edition are cer- tainly amusing though they have lost
 by time. good deal of their flavor and point. It is surprising that the authors name does not appear at all in this edi- ton. and that there is no introductory chapter stating such facts as those we have thus given. The book was written by William Combe a very singular per son, who produced no less than eighty-six works, of which the present is the only one remembered, and that not

The Trend of Thought

By Aron Nosirrah.

that Is thought and done ,byo those of his own clay. His mind betrays the power to comprehend even thee unfamiliar, and to think 1t out for those less comprehen- sive. Nothing in the human heart and mind is alien to him.. and neither do the things of nature stand unrevealed to his instinct. The wonder in Tennyson's won- derful word painting. was not alone the poetic sense but the clear comprehension of those facts in life and in nature, which brought forth the responsive note to all his songs. The world sees what he saw; 1t hears what he heard; 1t feels what he felt, but with that added sense which the Master in his art calls into being. More, we believe all that such a Master tells us. The cultured man can appeal to our faith. as well as our understanding. We per- ceive the clearness of his vision. We know that all knowledge has conspired to furnish the acumen for his one art; and so the evidence of complete culture which his work affords, excites trust and hope. and too, the inspiration for the further seeking after truth.
 Ideal cultivation brings all the power of man into boise, and balance toward all the facts of the human and the natural. Everything in the universe that repre- sefts such facts. must bring tribute to that wonderful faculty-the human mind. Other cultivation than this is narrowness; developing those idiosyncracies' of the will and emotion by which many genius has fallen short of his mission. by falling to produce the ultimate possibilities of his being. It is the privilege of men and women to be as we'll as to do-and those who are trained with a view of filter ing adjustment to the most significant of all things that are" will, we conclude, be the most and do the most.

THE woMAN,s LIBRARY.

This is the first volume of a series of six novels now in course of publication, and consists of eight separate papers by as many different writers, all women, treating of the higher education of girls. and their special preparation for the pro- fessions and employments which are now open to them. While the book is obvi- ously written of the United Kingdom, there Is much in several of the papers which may be read with profit every where. especially that by Madge Kendall on Some Pros and Cons of Theatrical Life" Mary Frances Ellington also writes sensibly and we'll of women and journalism, and Louise Joplin somewhat lengthily discourse on the education of the artistic faculty. will impart some val uable information to would ?be painters and sculptors. The papers of Janet E.

ANEcDoTE CONCERNING
 GEORGE ELIOT.

When George Eliot was still Miss Evans and before she had begun to write novels she used to frequent an old book
 shop on the Strand where she left very unfavorable impression on one young man who was at that time an assistant in John Chapman's shop. His description of her is that of a remarkably ugly young woman of universal knowledge. whose de- light it was to use the Socratic method in conversation but without the Socratic benevolence of intention. The result was that the young man at the dining table the shop had a boarding house for it's employees and guests) who heedlessly haz- arded an opinion were very soon made to feel not only that they knew nothing of the subject under discussion. but that they knew very little, indeed, of any thing. Now a young man does not relish being badgered and made a fool of by pretty woman, but 1t Is intOlerable to be sat upon by an ugly woman; at least sucn was the feeling of our informant and one consequence of this treatment was that in after years, when Miss Evans had be-

CONNECTICUT BLUE LAWS.
Early Regulations of New Haven
 Colony Were Very Strict.

Tn New Haven the ''blue laws" were fa- nous for their severity, says The New York Tribune. No man could vote in the town elections unless he were a member of some church. No Quaker or dissenter was ever allowed to step within the bor- ders of the town. To pick an ear of corn growing in another's garden was deemed theft, as well as any vegetable or fruit belonging to another. penalty for which was fine and corporal punishment. A young man could not 'court a maid in person or by letter without first obtain ing the consent of her parents" For the first offense under this law the penalty was pounds. 10 pounds for the second offense, and for further repetitions im- prisonment at the pleasure of the court. This was an old Massachusetts law, but the New Haven code was much more spe- cific than that of Boston. Trifiing with a young woman's affections was strictly forbidden, whether by speech, writing. message gifts or in any other way" There were a large number of cases brought to the courts under this law, which was one of the reasons for its later removal. No one was permitted in New Haven in 16f0 to cross a river except by the aid of an authorized ferryman. If a young swell of the town wished to row his women friends across the river he was not allowed to by the law. A debtor in prison, if he swore that he had no estate.

ANCIENT DISEASE.
Smallpox First Described by Arabs

American Medicine.

Amor1cah ModlctH0.
 The literary as well az the pathoiosic his- tory of smallpox presents many items of very special interest All readers of the clouded annals of the Middle Ages are acquainted with the fact that Arabian writers were for many centuries the recognized apostles of philosophy and physical science-including the sundry de- partments of medicine and surgery-to the va rfous nations of Western Europe And 1t is to one of these.

This vener- able authority Is generally known to posterity as Rhazes. 6 name which he derived from Raj. the place of his birth.
 His original description of this formidable disease has been made familiar to English in- quirers through the medium of Dr. Greenhilrs translation. In addition to his observations Rhazes in physiognomy are demonstrated by such items of information as: "A man with large ears is stupid. but long lNed"; and in rational therapeutics. by his recommendation of the practice of the game of chess a cure for melancholia. The antiquity of smallpox is. might well be expected, lost fin the mist of ages; but the definite statement has been made by Aram historians that it first appeared in the Abyssinian army of Abraha at the siege of Mecca ia the course of the so-called "Elephane War; ot A D. 66e (or STD.

OLD PATHS AND LEGENDS
 OF NEW ENGLAND.

The author of this book is well-known through the little volumes called Trolley Trips" which have helped many to ex- plore and enjoy New England. The present work Is much more ambitious in It's scope, sbut in some respects similar In its intentions. This Is we'll expressed by the subtitle of the book. 'Saunterings Over Historic Roads with Glimpses of Picturesque Fields and O1d Homesteads in Massachusetts, Rhode Island and New Hampshire" Town by town we are taken through some of the most fascinat- ing localities in these States, while the eye is pleased with well-printed half tone reproductions of photographs of an- cient houses. beautiful bits of scenery. historical sites, typical country lanes, trees, monuments. and scenes of modern life. There is nothing of a guide book In the authors method of treatment, but the practical information about the places treated Is sufficiently full to make the work valuable as a handbook. (G. P.

The Book of the Rose.

There is such a lot of indifferent verse put forth in magazines and in little books of poetry" that one hesitates be- fore undertaking new book, though oc- casionally one is repaid by a careful reading. This new volume. "The Book of the Rose.' by Charles G. D. Roberts. Is one of the books that repays one many times, for 1t is filled from cover to cover with genuine poetry MT. Roberts. in this book. has endowed his work with a warm, vital passion that stirs one nightly. The sensuous beauty of his verse is, perheps, more strongly developed in this volume than in any of his others. though that has always been one of his marked char acters. Q. c. Page & Co.,, Boston.)

CHARLES WALTER BROWN
 AND FIISBIOGRAPHICAL WORK
BY NORA BELLE srARKE.

Scarcely more than a century and quarter ago occurred that wonderful stand of a small band of heroic souls in a new country against host of trained militia, the name of whose country was symbolic with all that the highest civi- lixation implies.
 To have conquered aganst such odds, to have converted a few scattering col onies into a nation. each soldier in the rank and file of the American army must have measured up to the full stand ard of his duty. There are q few names, however. that must ring for aye down the corridors of time whenever and wher- ever the word freedom Is heard.
 Of these the majority, of course, were America's own sons. but there was lt- tie group of her adopted sons" whose memory every loyal American would pay a tribute.

 Ths night without thee marked a lonely way The stars loked down upon a silent sea. I missed the sweetness of security, While in their little beds the others lay And dreams their little dreams of love and play, And i without thee tossing feverishiy. O, wilt thou never look me with generous eyes
 Till forced to these poor arms. the moment when Death gives me to thee solves all mysteries A sleeping and forgetting summed of men As now I grudge thee no sweet sacrifice, Oh, gentle Sleep be tender to me then!

 The picturesque character of John Paul Jones has been presented by him recently in a most attractive and conscientious manner.
 Indeed, 1t is the feeling that MT. Brown. after careful research, has always said the last word with regard to any char. acter. that attracts most to his biograph. ical work. The setting is such as to bring his hero into bold relief.

The Critic.

Behold The Critic. bold and cold Who sits in Judgment The twilight and the dawn Of literature, And, emnently sure, Informs his age What printed page Is destined to be great. His word Is Fate, And what he writes Is greater far Than all the books He writes of are. His pen Is dipped in boom Or doom; And when He says one book is rot, And that another's not, That ends it. He Is pure infalibillty, And any book he judges must Be blessed cussed By all mankind, Except the blind Who will not see The masters modest mastery His fiat stands Against the uplifted hands Of thousands who protest And buy the books That they like best But what of that? He knows what he is at And they don't. And why Shouldn't he be high Above them as the clouds Are high above the brooks, For God. He made the Critic And man, he makes the books See? What a puIssant potentate the Critic is!

THE LIFE OF HIS
 HOLINESS, POPE LEO XIII.

Of the author of the Lives of the Bishops of the Catholic Church" may be depended on to give us an orthordox view of the late Pope's career. The werl- printed book is also well-printed. It de- scribes in detail the various events and movements with which the career of Leo XIII was connected, and will undoubted- ly find wide reading. For the Protestant as for the Roman Catholic, Leo's life was often inspiring, going far to justify tine biographer's belief that in 1t we have a model for every period of human exist ence and for the Christian of every faith.
