A story Of SOcIa ism.

Maxwell Gray's story OF The Great
Refusal Cd, Appleton & Coz makes known
to us the details Of an effort in socialism.
In the opening chapter we make the ac-
unaintance of Adrian Bassett and a com
rany Of his young friends, students all, in
the ancient university of Oxford. 1t is
likely that the male reader will be surprised
by the manner of conversation that was
carried on over young Bassett's expensive
cigars and liberal whiskey and soda water,
but a lady, whether reader or writer, is at
liberty to believe tina the midnight talk
of these young fellows, relaxed and in
spired by the matters that have been named,
was precisely what is here declared.
Certainly it was an ambrosial night, and
the young intellects leaped. There was
an outpour of jokes of scholarly favor.
Airsdale wondered if the te were ever such
smokes in Nineveh. Lulworth was curious
concerning steam and electric light in
Athens. 1t was Immediately pointed out
that they had in Athens the Venus of Phidias,
the Faun of Praxiteles, the frieze Of the
Pantheon, the Gdipus Of Sophocles, the
Hetairte and Phryne. The conversation took
a more immediate sociological turn. The
Ills of present day civilization were passed
in rapid and trenchant review-brewers in
Parliament, verbosity and inanity in novels,
nothing much in the drama, greed, luxury,
the demise Of poetry, conversation and
manners. Grimsby was great on Tolstoi
and the tyranny Of Mammon. Bassett, son
Of a rich man, heir to a great business,
did not say much. He listened and dreamed.
We should not wonder il his head swan.
In the second chapter we have two highly
intelligent young ladies, lsobel and Blanche,
both lovely, surprising young Bassett asleep
in the greenwood. They specialized as to
who he might be. Thu spirit of scholarly
and literary Oxford was in their specula-
tons. A faun, perhaps, or else the guardian
spirit of the wood. Perhaps Galahad, or
Parsifal, or Chaucer's knight, or some one
OF several others. A quick breeze stirred the
leaves OF an open Dante lying on the grass
at his side and blew out a thin manuscript
written in pale ink, As one Of the girls re-
stored the Grant sheet TO its plac &c he opened
his eyes and fell in love with Isobel. Both
Isobel and Blanche fell in love with him.
From this the story proceeds into a wholly
different atmosphere. 1t tells how Bassett
%renounced his Inheritance and re%linquished
lsobel (after she had re~linquished HIM
and supported himself by manual labor
for three years, whereafter he earned his
living by the works Of his mind and founded
the Brotherhood Of the Golden Rule. 1t
is a story Of generous sympathies, of benev-
olent aspirations, rather than a story to
beguile and cheer. II deals with puzzles
which make the mind and the heart ache
and we fear that these remain not with
standing the earnest attack here made upon
them. We are glad that the individual
characters in the story come out pretty

With the second volume on War and
Neutrality" DR.. L.. Oppenheim's Treatise
on international Law" G%ongmans, Green
and Company is concluded. His matter
is presented in q clear and concise manner,
with remarkable impartiality as regards
the various nations and with very little
theorizing on the authors W part, though
theory on a subject 30 intangible is I'M
avoidable. Each step and each rule pro-
pounded is backed up by the pertinent
cases, and the treatise has the advantage
over all earlier works of bringing TO bear
the important cases that arose in the late
war between Russia and Japan.
1t il not DR.. 0ppenheim's fault but that
of the subject he deals with If the reader
forms the impression that there is very
little "law" between the nations and that the
structure raised on a few conventions Is
generally shaky. A Law without power to
enforce it can only hold good while those who
accept it are in an amiable mood. 1t is con-
oeiyable that a ruler backed by sufficient
force, a new and wilful Kaiser Of the West,
for example, might play havoc with the
best settled principles Of the law and that
the p~recedents established by him woul
take the place OF what are now called prin-
ciples.

daughter. The city of Norumbega is here,
too, with it's mad prince and its lovely
and naughty princess and it's considerable
and glittering court. When Randvar was
abroad in the forest one day, he came
to the dreadful Black Pool. a place full OF
evil magic, and was within an ace of seeing
the mad prince murder his father. The
prince had blood red hair and was possessed
by a demon. He and Randvar became
friends. though how Randvar could ever
have come to love him is more than we can
see.
Randvar went to the court al Norumbega
and won the heart of the beautiful princess
there-the heart of Brynhild the Proud.
He fought twice with Olaf, the son OF Thor
grim, a ~courtier who had been in France
and whose graceful manne had pleased
the princess. Several times he had desper-
ate encounters with his friend the mad
prince, whose demon was likely to possess
him at any moment. There can be little
doubt that now and then, on the active
occasions of his madness, the prince e.
came transformed into a wolf-the werewolf
of dreadful story. Undoubtedly he was
the werewolf when, pursuing Randvar
and Brynhild, who were fleeing from No
rumbega to Freya's Tower, he encountered
Olaf and slew him. The story says that
~springing upon Olaf with outfung claw
barbed hands he dragged him fighting
from his saddle and flung him upon the
ground. Snarling, he dropped upon him
and buried his teeth in the upturned throat.
An instant OF gurgling gasping noises,
and he was up and gone into the forest
sounding his terrible cry; and Olaf lay
dead even as Starkad Jarl had died from
the fangs of the demon wolf that was the

The somewhat u~ndignifed name OF

because he composed the beautiful songs
that he sang. Soon after the death of
Olaf the mad prince died and Randvar and
Brynhild ruled in Norumbega.

ties OF style.

panyN. 1t has been told a great many
times already, but that is no great harm in
modern fiction. A young person reveals
her inner sentiments during the period
that she is bestowing her affections. She
chafes against the irksomeness of her home
and village surroundings. She is attrac-
tive, of course, though the one definite
trait we discover is a yearning for the open
air at forbidden times. The Ingenious
exhibition of the selhshness and unchar-
itableness Of extreme youth is unconscious
on the authors part, we believe, but the
~girlishness, the smartness of some OF her
observations. the terrible infant scenes
in which she INDUCES are intentional. We
rather commiserate with the lover who
wins her. 1t is a c~leverly put together
arrangement of the pastoral tale that reads

Injected Bubonic Plague Serum

IT ONLY COST TEN LIVES.
Great Lesson Learned From Experi-
ment Is That Greater Precau-
ton Must be Used.

Washington. D. c., Dec. H.--In his
annual report, Secy of War Taft says,
regarding the death of prisoners at
Bilibid prison, Manila:
Although cholera appeared in Ma
Mia and elsewhere in the islands
the health authorities was so prompt
and effective that It did not spread. /
regret, however, to have to record a
most unfortunate incident in the ad-
ministration of cholera serum TO some
10 of the inmates OF Bilibid prison,
DR.. Strong, the head of the bureau OF
laboratories, has made some remark
able discoveries with reference to
scholera serum, and has used II with
success on various occasions. In ad-
minlstering 1t, however, to some 10
inmates OF the penltentlary OF Bilibid,
a bottle of the bubonic plague serum
was probably substituted for a bottle
of the cholera serum, with the result
that the persons to whom the serum
was administered died.
Although Investigation Is now be-
ing made as to the cause of the ac-
cident, and the commission has adopted
measures to take care OF the families
of the deceased, 1t Is an occasion for
great regret. and will doubtless insure
greater precautions In the administers
ton Of such dangerous agencies.
THE depressed condition OF busi-

tlon OF sugar and tobacco. The vio-
lent and unusual storm OF cycllonic
character which vfslted the islands In
the latter part oil 1905 destroyed about

hemp. In the matter of exports, how
ever, this loss was made up by AN IN
crease In the production and exporta-
tlon of coooanuts, so that on the whole
the exports of the islands fell off only
half a million or dollars.
"The imports OF the islands were
reduced below the preceding year some
