FOR BIBLICAL STUDENTS.
Evolution Of a Great Literature" !" by
Newton Mann, a Remark
able Work.

In a took remarkable for its clear
ness, fearlessness and candor, Newton
Mann, Of Omaha, Neb.. has shown how
possible It is popularize a rational
view OF the Bible. The Evolution Of
Great Literature" will be welcomed
by all who are not in complete bond
age to traditionalism. Probably no
Bible scholar will agree with the
book in all its details and conclusions.
but all must admit its sincerity and
fairness.
Mr.. Mann has summed up for popu-
lar use the conclusions Of what Is
called the higher criticism" OF the
Scriptures. Undoubtedly there has
been for some time a general desire
for a condensed and unpolemical state
ment Of what these conclusions are
and OF the steps by which they are
reached. In The Evolution OF a Great
Literature" a natural history OF the
Jewish and Christian Sculptures, Mr..
Mann has given US this in q perfect
form.

END OF THE ROUNDUP.
Settlement of South Dakota Is Crowd
ing Big cattlemen Out Of
Business.

Pierre, S. D.-The action Of the Mis-
souri, River Growers association at its
annual meeting this year marks the
end Of the roundup and the range. The
business OF this annual meeting always
has been to arrange for the annual
roundup work, fixing the boundaries of
the territory to be worked by each out
fit and the selection Of foremen to look
after the work. But this year about
the only business transacted was to de-
eide to hold no roundup for this year.
The new settlers have SO closely occu-
pied the territory to be worked and
have dotted it with gardens and small
patches OF crop to such an extent that
to attempt to work cattle over the ter
ritory would mean a large amount OF
damage and trouble. and as the home
steaders Gle a far larger number than
the cattlemen the roundup is to be no
more.
The Butte county country will rrob-
ably be worked for year or two more,
but not for long, and the picturesque
feature Of stock-raising on the range
has ended SO far as South Dakota is
concerned.

ON OUTDOOR LIVING.
Eloquent Plea for Porch Life-Mak-
ing the Porch Attractive with
Vines and Flowers.

Porch life is a habit, and If you
have not already acquired it, begin at
once.
People do not begin TO realize the
importance of outside life, nor how
comparatively easy a matter II is for
the entire family to spend many hours
OF the day outside the walls Of the
house. If porch life were more sys-
tematically adhered to, there would be
less necessity for that month in the
country with the children" which
closes up so many pretty homes and
leaves desolated house for father to
return to at night Three months OF
porch life is none too much for fam
lily that spends the other nine months
in a furnaee-heated house where up
holstered furniture and rugs and hang
ings abound, and where, in spite OF
constant care. the air is filed with
bacteria-laden dust.
Begin to plan in the spring. II the
porch hitherto has been bare o. vines,
plant some Of the quick-growing varie-
ties that will bring the desired results
this season. and later put In the roots
OF perennials. Clematis, woodbine,
trumpet flower, ivies, and honey
suckles are all favorite perennials,
while the mottled Japanese hop vine,
the scarlet and pink Towering bean,
and even the old-fashioned. humble
morning glory are rapid growers. and
In the course of a few weeks give the
coveted privacy and shade. One of the
charms Of these latter varieties is
watching their remarkably speedy
growth. One family, about whose
east porch had been planted a guam
tity Of the scarlet creeping bear3, took
the pains to ascertain the growth dur
ing IL hours OF one Of these vines. A
string was tied TO the tip of an ambi-
tious plant at seven O'Clock one eve
ming; at seven the following morning
It had registered a growth of six and
three-quarter inches. These beans are
veritable magnets to the humming-
birds. which hover about them all
through the summer. their beautiful
little bright-hued bodies a continual
source of Joy TO the observing.
The boxes OF flowers should be OF the
hardy varieties-the brilliant gerani-
ums, saliva. many-colored petunias.
combined with vines or plants OF the
climbing variety. such as nasturtiums
and sweet alyssum. and with fringing
ferns. II you are planning to have a
general color scheme for your porch
and this is an easy matter and most
pleasing In its results-be careful that
the flowers do not form a jarring note
70 the general tone.-Good Health.

1.-THE QUEEN OF SICILY"
City Of Syracuse Beyond Compare
Among the Hellenic Com
munities.

William Sharp writes in "The Gar
den Of the Sun" in Century: Syra-
cuse calls itself the capital OF the
south. but II has no cause to dispute
pride OF placs with Palermo. The
metropolitan city is superior in popu-
lation. wealth and much else. but Il is
deficient in what its ancient and
glorious rival has in such abundance.
For Syracuse has the supreme charm
OF Greece in way that no other city
except Athens has Not even in Cor
inth. nowhere in Hellas from Messana
or Sparta in the south TO Thebes In
the north. Is there any Hellenic town
10 compare with "the Queen of Sicily"
AS a sanctuary. Delphi is far more
impressive than anything In Sicily. as
a national meeting place Olympia has
no rival; but nowhere except az
Athens is Greek city TO be seen to-
day which has the proud record OF the
marvellous metropolis Of the Siclllan
Greeks. city as great in power and
wealth and beauty as Athens herself.
and victor at last in the long and fatal
rivalry which indirectly involved the
passing OF the Hellenistic dominion Of

London.-The immensity of London

sued by the London county council.
This amazing compilation shows the
British metropolis still holds first
place among the greatest cities OF the
world. Growth during the century is
shown by the fact that while In 1901
the population was 1,114,644. 1t had
risen in 1901 to $751; ,4O2. These six
and a half million people live in s2S,-

statistics for 1904 do not adequately
represent the traffic OF to-day, as new
tubes and new electric car tracks have
been opened. but they may be inter-
esting for comparison with New York.
There were then POI miles of tram
lines open, and during the year $751;
947S46 passengers were conveyed.
while 2SS.s65.214 passengers travelled

BUsINESSLIKE GOVERNMENT
City Of England That Is Run on a
Simple Yet Very Effective
System.

The government of Manchester is a
business. Its liabilities are about
Sl56,00O,000; its assets are about
s147,000,OO0; and the deficiency. about
s9,OOO,O0O represents the amount
which the ratepayers have to con-
tribute each year. writes Samuel Mer-
win, in Success Magazine. The ng-
ures indicate that 1t is big busl-
ness. The management Of this big
business is absolutely in the hands OF
the city council acting through its
committees. AS / have said, the sys-
tenn is simple, and the responsibility
cannot be evaded as 1t can be in a
muddled-up, complicated system like
that Of New York or Chicago or New
ark. The people know what has to
be done. and they know who has to
do H. But. even at that. big figures
are confusing to the average mind.
And then. too, 1t is well to submit
the figures which a city council INb-
fishes to an unsympathetic eye. And
So because the people of Manchester
propose to know what Is done with
their money. they have in their serv-
ice two men whose business 1t is to
investigate and publish. at regular in
tervals. every tendency OF the coun-
ell toward carelessness or extrava-
gance. Never for a moment are the
councillors permitted to forget whose
money It is that they are managing
with such fluent ease
These two men are known as "elec-
tive auditors" They are elected d.
rectly by the people. and the more
merciless their attacks on the coun-
ell the better they please the people.
They are free from the slightest obli-
CATION to the council They have ac-
cess to all facts and figures, for the
people Of Manchester find It difficult
to understand why their government.
managed by their personal representa-
tives with their money. should not
work wholly in the light. These re-
ports are published weekly in the

has revived the old. high court"
This action was taken in response
TO leaders who declared that the prom
ised constitution made no provision
for the punishment OF officers of the
government.
The emperor declined to give parlla-
ment the right TO impeach ministers.
governors general, and other high dig

The high court" was created a CEN
tury ago for the trial Of political Of
tenders. Only three cases we're tried
before 1t, and the last session OF the
court was held 20 years ago.
The court consists OF a president ap-
pointed by the emperor and six sena-
tors. Its character will be changed so
as TO give II jurisdiction over charges
OF malfeasance against ministers. gov
ernors general, and members Of the
council OF the empire.
The minority in the council Of the
empire desired TO make members of
parliament also subject to trial before
this court on the ground that parlia-
ment should Judge its own members.

the hands OF the emperor, who has
the right to approve either the ma
jority or the minority findings.

A PUMPNN-YELLoW WALL.
Recommended for a Summer Home
with Mission Furniture-About
Other Decoration.

This is an excellent wall paper color
for summer home room furnished in
the mission furniture. The wood trims
about the room should be stained some
dark hue. such as weathered or fumed
oak. to correspond with the dark tone
Of the furniture. In this case the best
color to use at the windows is yellow
like the paper.
The paper chosen may be cartridge.
burlap may. be put on the walls and
stained. OF the walls may be rough
plastered and sanded. and then tinted.
This last is most satisfactory. 1t is
especially to be recommended where
mission furniture is used. for it seems
particularly well adapted TO the sim
plicity of construction expressed by
the straight line furniture. In addi-
ton to this II has the advantage Of be-
ing the cheapest form of wall treat
ment available. If this method of dec
oration be adopted. a plate rail may
be used on the walls two-thirds Of the
distance from the floor. and above
that lighter tint Of yellow will make
a most agreeable contrast and Go away
with the necessity OF frieze.
If the room is of awkward height,
either too low or too high. some Of the
modern designs in stripes are particu-
larly useful Should the room be too
high the stripes ought not to go
to the ceiling, but should end some
distance below it. and at this point a
picture molding should be applied. II
the room is too low the reverse treat
ment should be applied, and the paper
carried over on the molding on the
ceiling for a few inches. In this case
no molding should be used. and the
furniture should be kept away from
the walls.
The use Of advancing colors like
reds or yellows will tend to make the
room look smaller and more cheerful.
particularly If 1t have a cold exposure
while the use of the receding colors,
blues or greens. will give the room an
appearance Of increased size, and help
tone down the often too vivid light
