Francis Miltoun With many illus
trntlons by Blanche McManus. Boston,
Mass. L. G. Page & Co. Price, Sl.6O,
net three-quarters morocco, 81 net;
postage extra.
The conversational tone in which the
author writes is one of the many charms
OF tins entertaining and informing book.
bielagne Is one of the most unique parts
OF the earth and the one province of
france which possesses the most dis
tingmshing and peculiar characteristics.
The bretons are known for their bravery
and fidelity, their spirit of independence
ana patriotism, and for a humor as flexible
as their character is obstinate. "No part
OF rance has physiognomy more original
Than bretagne; none has been marked by
nature m "a more emphatic manner than
this ancient home of the Cells IL is in
decd a land of contrasts, where ancient,
mystical and weird menhirs and dolmens.
relics OF prehistoric times, are mingled
with medieval monuments and modern
forts, arsenals and viaducts"
Thus 1t Is that o great diversity of scene
permits of no monotony in this story of
Bretagne The writer tells that the
general aspect of the country is green and
gray, but il has moods when sea and sky
are like gold and turquoise and that the
sunsets are always glorious.
The manners and customs, legends and
religious festivals of the peasants are
treated in several chapters. Some of the
towns and divisions of the province
Nantes, St. Malo, Finisterre, the Loire in
Brittany written up singly. The
chapters are so nicely arranged that any
one of them may be read with pleasure
without perusing the book in order.
The reader cannot too gladly appre-
ciate the picture of chateaux, churches.
shrines peasants in costume, bits of
scenery and other things which are de-
scribed and Illustrated.

The fire loss in the United States in 1901
was S2So,520lSl. In 1905 il was Sl62.-
100000. The insurance loss in that year
was S97 100000 The fire loss is variable.
but il has exceeded Si00.000O00 every
year since 1883. States in which there
are no large cities have contributed inn
portantly to the grand total. In the ma
iority of tho small towns the protection
against fire is very inadequate These
figures show the necessity Of adequate fine
protection, oven in the smallest communi-
ties, as the aggregate Of small losses helps
considerably in swelling the sum total.

naturally the people OF this state are

in the premises, the people will seize the

The present situation is having the
effect Of stimulating prospecting for
coal, and a number OF veins are being
opened by private concerns and indi-
viduals throughout the state, so that
in a few years the coal companies and
railroads will not control the output
OF coal as they do al present, and then
