BOOK CRITICISM
Mrs. G.. c. TObey Gives Her Inn.
presSiOns of the WOrk ''Rdy-
mOnd Benson at Hampton"

The fourth of the series of criticism
Of books submitted by the Library
Board to we'll known citizens to read
is submitted herewith:
Raymond Benson at Hampton, u
by Clarence B. Burleigh, is story oil
college life in an Eastern town. II
is such story as almost any boy
could write, being monotonous re.
counting of athletic games, foot ball
and base ball predominating. II
there is slang expression that the
author has failed to work in, it must
have been an oversight. The real
good of college life is conspicuous
for its absence. 1t undoubtedly will
be interesting reading for boys,
perhaps no harm would accrue from
the reading, certainly there is moth
ing of an uplifting nature between
the covers, unless possibly it be the
brave act of the hero iii the first
chapter. 1t is week book.

keyhoId Tenure in England.

The curious custom of keyhold ten
ure still prevails at Crowland, the
famous abbey town in the Lincoln
shire fens, where there are a number
of cottages which are neither copy
hold, freehold nor leasehold. They
were originally built on waste land,
and in each case the possessor of the
key holds an undisputed tenancy AL.
though some of the occupiers have re-
placed the mud and matched dwell
ings OF antiquity with brick and slated
buildings, they have no power to sell
Or will them away, for they have no
deeds On tenant dying the first
person to cross the threshold takes
his place, if he SO desires. Many de-
vices have been resorted to to obtain
the keys. The properties carry a
county vote, but the poor law guar
dians always refuse to grant relief to
the tenants.-London Globe.

Extravaaance in Dress.

Very few persons outside of the
glittering circle of our enormously
rich families, who constitute what is
referred to as ''the best society,"" CAP
understand how any young woman in
this or any other county can spend
upon her wardrobe such vast amounts
Of money as are expended by the
daughters of some of these families.
The history of the world does not
show such reckless extravaganza in
the way of dress. Nor, for the mat
ter of that, does the history of the
world show so riotous a use of money
as that practiced by our very rich in
their strictly social advertisements.
Happy is the lot of the man or wom-
an who is not tempted to such foolish
indulgences, which take the edge from
life's real joy!
