Daily Needs, a new pocket edition of which is being published by Little, Brown & Co.,, is one of the oldest and best known of the high grade books for daily reading which have been is- sued, containing a text of Scripture, bit of appropriate verse and a help ful prose message from some inspired writer, for each day in the year.

 President Eliot has probably had small library of books dedicated to
 him. The latest to be added to the number, however, has a unique ele- ment of appropriateness, for it links the greatest president of Harvard uni versity with the only volume pub lished on the principal founder of the university.

 Brown & Co.,, may accordingly come

 The greater portion of this new vol
 ume, in the first place, is written in
 that most difficult of mediums, Eng fish blank verse. Then one-half of
 the book is taken up with a four-act
 tragedy dealing with the life and love
 of Sappho, entitled 'Sappho in Leuca-
 dia.' The title-poem, The Woman
 in the Rain" on the other hand, is
 openly modern in note and thought. Ii
 has to do with a condition and g
 problem very dear to the heart oi
 President Roosevelt, and is treated
 with a candor and dlrectness that
 prompted @ London critic to describe
 it as The Man With the Hoe"
