 Alexander Wilson," by James southall Wilson, Ph. D. Published by the Neaie Publishing Co.
 Prof. Wilson has in this volume writ ten a most thoughtful appreciation of Alexander Wilson," the poet-naturalist. and American science and manhood is honored in this beautiful and intelligent work, says critic of distinction.
 Wilson was a Scotchman. a weaver and poet, "a poverty-hounded dreamer who saw beauty everywhere" So Prof Wii- son writes a careful study of the Scot land of Wilson's and of Burns time, thereby affording a discriminating analy- sis of Wilson's character and his poetry Wilson, in seeming extremity in his ma . tive country. sailed for America ard finally achieved fame as the greatest American ornithologist, to be challenged , only by the famous Audubon. 'IIe be- came a member of many distinguished societies and the honored correspondent of Thomas Jefferson. He had tramped. fering and sickness, from one end of the American wilds to another. His only reward was that he should become the founder of American ornithology, whom Audubon and Thorean and Burroughs have only followed, and that his fame should live in the names of the many birds which he first made known" In addition the author has written of Wilson's literary work and has added the full text of some of his best poems. such as "The American Bluebrd'' "Watty and Meg" "The Invitation" etc.

At the conclusion of the introduction to the book Professor McCaleb says: Texas. the south, the union, ought to be proud of the Grand Old Roman, as he has been called. The best of him was given to "the lost cause" and there lies the heart of his memoirs
 "The Mystery" by Stewart Edward White and Samuel Hopkins Adams. Pub 1ished by Mcclure. Phillips & Co.
 This volume entitled, "The Mystery" is a collection of sea tales of adventure arranged in three parts First, "The Sea Riddle,' then "The Brass Bound Chest" and lastly, "The Maroon" In relating the many inexplicable experiences of life at sea aboard the United States cruiser wolverine" It is a strange combination of United States regulars In commission, piratical ships and most improbable pirat- ical crews. The whole collected in that part of the Pacific known as "desert seas,' where desolate islands and active volcanos present a weird background for these romantic and unique happen ings. The stories are illustrated and are we'll written and contain a large element of interest to those who may care for such improbable imaginings
 'The Malefactor," by E. Phillips oppen- helm. Published by Little, Brown & Co.
 MT. Oppenheim will be remembered as the author of "A Maker of History" "The Master Hummer" and other very popular and very successful stories
 In "The Malefactor," his new story, the author selects an episode of singular orig inalty around which to weave his story II is the incident of young man of high social position who prefers to face sen tence of penal servitude rather than de- fend himself at the expense of a wom- ans reputation. So far, so good; but the nobility of the act is destroyed by the subsequent events. Embittered by his terrible punishment Sir Wingrave Seton comes out of prison with a fixed resolve to revenge himself, not only on the wom- an who has wronged him, but on all hu- man beings with whom he comes in con- tact.
 The mobility of character which prompt ed the generous act in the first instance by Sir Wingrave seems now put asido and the subsequent indulgence of such passions $ revenge, the systematic de struction morally and financially of the woman whom he was supposed to have loved and her husband does not form pleasant reading. Yet this reign of evil in the character of Sir Wingrave, who by his riches could thus dominate the lives of others for season, Is followed through many pages and makes up the bulk of tho story Towards the very close the darkness is to a degre dspelled and with the coming of love in the hear t of Wingrave for his young ward, good gains the ascendant also, and he ap- parently endeavors to repair the damage he has wrought. It is a dismal story, and MT. Oppenheim should employ his most excellent talents for story writing in cleaner story, rather than in one that to all intents seems designed to ap- peal to the public taste.

Butter, Cheese and EGGS

There is material change in the Egg situa-
tion The consumption is large and steadily in
creasing, but the same is true of the receipts,
and dealers find it impossible to effect clearanees
from day to day. Thus far dealers have been
unable to dispose of surplus lots by storing as
most of the Eggs coming in are wet, which
makes storing risky proposition. Small Quanti-
ties going TO the icehouse but the movement
is not sufficient to relieve the market TO any ex-
tent.
Receipts Of Butter are still running rather
light and the market rules very firm, with all
grades cleaning up rapidly from day to day. As
the situation is, the market would probably stand
advance but receivers are averse to putting
prices up. as heavy arrivals expected at any
is up and creamery operators expect to resume
shipments to this market before the 1st of March.
Cheese in moderate supply and firmly held
at the old quotations.

sale of so cases of selected Eggs at zoe.
