Harry Thurston Peck's Life or Prescot Il

Harry Thurston Peck's william Hick-
ling Prescott opens with somewhat de-
tached and inadequate statement Of
literary conditions and topography in the
early years of the nineteenth century-a
statement which seems to belong to another
story and might we'll be eliminated from
the biography of the American historian
and the criticism and appreciation of his
productions. With the opening paragraph
OF the second chapter the writer settles to
his work, swings into his style and gives
a graphic and interesting account of the
education, literary life and method OF
work by which Prescott accomplished his
important contribution to American his
torica literature in spite of severe physical
infrmitts and suffering.
The details are for the most part taken
from Ticknor's mon umental work. but
they are judiciously selected and clearly
and forcibly presented in a connected
narrative Of which the most significant
portions are naturally those relating to
the conception and creation of the books
which have established the authors rank
among the foremost OF American historians.
Handicapped heavily from the beginning
by the loss of one eye, the painful weakness
and ultimate blindness of the other eve
which kept him prisoner in darkened
room much of the time; weakened by con-
slant suffering from rheumatism; eneryated
by natural tendency to Incidence, which
an ample income protected from the spur
of necessity, Prescott set himself Formidable
tasks and accomplished them by slow and
painful processes with indomitable de-
termination.
Having settled upon writing the life of
Ferdinand and Isabella at a time when all
original sources of inspiration were on the
other side of the Atlantic, he EMPLOYED
agents to ransack the Libraries of Eurone

Grabbed script and copies of ancient
archives-and secured the services of sec
retaries to acquaint him with their contents.

books, often by secretaries who knew nothing
Of the language in which they were written.

The Ghetto does not always accept the
local judgment on Yiddish affairs al final.
One of the music halls there has recently
been producing play founded on the
career Of JOSEPH MARX, the Polish Jew
farmer who was recently hanged in Connec-
ticut for numbering one Of his farm hands.
In the Ghetto version he appears as hero.
He is unjustly convicted by American per-
secutors. After his execution he goes to
heaven in an apotheosis as grand as any
that ever accompanied the transit Of Little
Era to happier world. Old man MARX
was not murderer, but martyr in the
view Of the Ghetto dramatist.

HOW TO FIND BEE TREE.
Which Is Almost Invariably
Successful.

Some bee hunters simply put out>a bit
of honeycomb or even trickles of honey
on clean chip, never resorting to the
pungency of scorched wax. And these
are apt to mark their bees with sprinkles
of flour in order TO trace their flight.
Whatever the bait, says the Country
Calendar 1t Is set on a stump, or stone,
or fallen tree, in some open glade Of
deep woods. As certainly as the woods
hold even one bee tree. there will soon
be a dozen bees sucking with all their
might. The bee hunter, stock still,
watches them narrowly, aiming always
to sprinkle those that come first, since
he knows they are from the nearest
swarm.
Commonly he follows the earliest bee

back for another, lie may wait to see

probable direction If all of them take
one course he has plain sailing-it is
only matter of following that course,
keeping his eyes and ears the while very
wide open. If there are crossnights,
bees scattering in all directions, the
thing to do is to follow the best marked
line home If possible in the wake of a
laden bee, and put out fresh bait for the
Others upon another day.
