he was the masculine complement to such
a woman az we have discovered In Vtr-
ginia Castleton. Virginia's mind in one
glance photographed him in "tints that
never ~faded"-color photography, and an
early and notably effective example OF 1t,
He was splendid and strongly significant
to the eye. "A neck rising from the
shoulders like a column supported a proud
and shapely head; the features stood out
with that boldness the Romans gave their
finest sculpture, without a trace OF ef-
feminacy, breathing the beauty Of strength
Of mind and body; courage moral and ply
steal; l~oftiness OF purpose combined with a
simplicity Of manner that bespeaks the
great" He became aide to the Confederate
Gen. Morgan. Virginia spoke earnestly
to the extent Of nearly a page to him when
he was about to go to the war. "Ah," he
replied, "he who goes to battle to the sound
OF such words cannot be other than a vic
tori"
Many lofty and some dreadful things are
recorded in the story. The younger Todds,
who were proud and even boastful of their
name, made gallant soldiers. Virginia
and Henry Clay Powell stood side by side
when the war was over. Honor still re-
mains she said, and she accepted his
proposal of marriage.

Walt MhItman,s BOsM ell.

1t is an extraordinary book that Mr..
Horace Traubel has produced in with Walt
Whitman in Camden" tSmall, Maynard Il
Coz, a book that is likely to rank with
Boswell, +" though Mr.. Traubel, in the short
time he deals with, goes far beyond that
worthy in details. For three months and q
half in the spring and summer Of 1883 Mr..
Traubel had daily talks with the poet on
every subject under the sun, and duly
recorded what he had heard and seen. Whit
man knew what he was doing, and turned
over to him almost haphazard, as the occa-
sion arose, letters from celebrities of all
sorts and from less known people, with other
papers.
His notes Mr.. Traubel now prints, just as
he took them, with the letters intercalated
at the dates when he received them. The
result is a narrative almost as vivid as actual
conversation. In the case Of any man OF
distinction so close a study would be in
teresting, in the case OF Whitman, reviewing
as It we're his whole life, 1t is a revelation,
Admirers Of the poet will want the book
for the information it gives of him. We
fancy, however, that it will make a much
greater impression as a human document
the portrait of a real man.

volume, FL. Macmillans). Long recog-
nized as the standard work in English, the
dictionary has been greatly improved in
the revision. The chief articles in this
volume are on Handel and Haydn. The
Lisat article has been increased by three
pages of later comment. Among the living
artists noted are Josef Hoffman,, Arthur
Foote, Franz Kneisel, with a picture Of the
quartette, Lilli Lehman. De Lucia, a page
and a half Of Observation-Disclosures that show
the wide range and up to date character OF
the additions.

Middle Ages that he can give only a very
ummary account Of modern work. From
the practical view of aronsing interest in
the explorations, the achievements OF
modern times would seem OF more impor-
lance. These, however, are lectures before
the Union Theological Seminary, which
probably cared more for the historical

We fear that there Is more of method run
mad than of scientific fact in Mental n
Moral Heredity in Royalty, by DR.. Fred
erick Adams Wood Henry Holt d Coz
1t is difficult enough to trace physical traits
in families, but the difficulties are still
greater with more intangible qualities,
especially where there is room for difference
of opinion. Royal families, for the pur-
pose of investigation, have the advantage
Of presenting genealogies that are more
easily traoeable and OF placing individuals
where they will be noticed. On the other
hand, estimates Of their members, for good
and for bad, are usually affected by political
considerations which may have nothing to
do with individual character. DR.. Wood
carefully grades a large number Of per-
sons belonging to royal houses according
to a scale OF 10 for intellect and also for
morals. Unfortunately, his estimate Ia
based on biographical dictionaries and
general histories, none OF which would be
considered by historians as Of high authority
nowadays. His ingenious system Of aver
aging opinions would hardly commend
itself TO either a historian or a lawyer. A
little critical investigation would show him
that some Of his highly moral characters
were by no means s~potless, and that many
of his minerals were not as black as they
are painted. We fancy that in any scientific
research the foundation facts should be
accurate.

best work of such prominent
humorists as George AIDE, John
Kendrick Bangs, "Mr. Dooley,'
Artemus Ward, Eugene Field,
Thomas Bailey Aldrich, Bill

himself. That the great editor
knows what is best in humor and
how to select it goes without say
ing. Men and Things is the per-

make it THE humorous book of
the year.

Primrose

The freshness and tender SIM
plicity of Roy Rolfe Gilson's
books have won for him a large
circle of readers. Mr.. Gibson in
terprets child life with rare insight,
and his portrayal of little Bertram
has the same simplicity and charm
that have made his former books
SO popular. The pictures of vii
lage life are exquisitely shaded,
and Miss Primrose's romance
adds a touch Of sentiment and
humor to a story of delightful
originality.

temperament in its most interest

upon the life of a famous Russian

Copper Supply Running Short.

Leading copper mining interests
centering in Boston predict that a
copper famine is emminent. There
is no spot copper on hand, and pro-
ducing companies are completely
sold out. The consumption greatly
exceeds the production; with little
hope of relief, owing to the scarcity
of skilled labor. The foreign de-
mand is heavy.
1t is expected that the price will
advance to probably 20 cents within
the next sixty or ninety days. Cop
per Queen Consolidated's production
shortly will reach 9O,OOO,OO0 pounds
annually, with the Improvements the
company has inuagurated including
the treatment of 600 tons daily from
the old dump of Stag from the COM
pany's copper plant at Bisbee; which
contains high percentage.
