ANOTHER BOOK OF VERSES FOR
CHILDREN. Edited by E. V. Lucas

York: The Macmillan Company
Washington: Woodward & Lothrop
Mr. Lucas has the anthology genius
and, as before, he shows in this new
volume a keen appreciation of the pecu-
liar slant to a child's sense of things
worth reading. Try this collection upon
any child from five to fifteen and his

NURSERY RHYMES FROM MOTHER
GOOSE. Illustrated by G. .. VIE
derseim. New York: Charles Scrib-
ner's Sons. Washington: Woodward
G. Lothrop.
Mother Goose is the only immortal
jingler for childhood, and no quality can
be added to make her rhymes more &C
ceptable to the young ones. But it must
be confessed that the child who is intro
duced to the ever-delightful Goose Mother
at the hands of Wiederseim has a special
privilege. His drawings seem, with what
ever qualities of caricature must be con-
coded, to be the illustrations for which
the text was waiting to be completed.
There is circular, full-rounded delight
in them which all children feel at once.
A VOYAGE WITH CAPTAIN DYNA.
MITE. BY Charles Edward Rich
New York: A. S. Barnes & Co.:
Any boy with a zest for action, for the
sea and war and freedom, with a trifle of
sentiment, will find the tale of the filibus-
tering Captain Dynamite, whose sympa-
thies are with Cuba and whose heart is
with a dark-eyed patriot, a corking good
story. He will not want to put it down
even though his elders should say that
the captain is somewhat STACEY ana the
events improbable.
It's Irish and Cuban and Spanish and
negro and American, so it makes good
mix-up and turns out o. X:

There must be a fascination in writing
verses for children; delicate art to
which an indeflnable quality must lend
grace before the young ones will respond.
In this matter the appreciation of par
ents does not count; cleverness, subtlety'
artful simplicity are no help. The child
knows If the verses are really. truly nur
sery rhymes. Mrs. Whitney has quality
of great attractiveness. Her verses be-
long to childhood, and ring with notes OF
family "Reminiscences. If they are not al

they are at least, as will be found after
experiment, pleasing at bedtime to the
young ones. Jessie Wilcox Smith has IL

Facts About the Capitol.
From the Pathfinder.

A walk over to the National Capitol
now reveals to you an edifice we'll worth
seeing, as vast amount Of repairing and
renovating has been done since Congress
adjourned; inside and out the great build
ing has been overhauled and only after
spending some time In walking through 1t
can you gain conception Of what the
domestic life Of the Capitol is. For in
stance. consider that 1t contains 43O
rooms which are used for Office. COM
mittee and storage purposes. $40 windows,
500 doorways. 40 fireplaces. 261 wash
basins and sinks. IA bathtubs, Is ventilat-
ing fans, IS motors, 8 elevators, 1000
horsepower of boilers, 8 steam pumps, a
lighting service equivalent to $1,000 in
candescent lamps of 16 candlepower each,
and over 1900 square feet of skylights.
This is all on the inside. and when we
look over the outside and the forty acres
of land to be kept up, we begin to realize
that it is no small Job to keep the cob
webs out of the Capitol and the weeds out
of the yard.

In telling the stories of the Wagnerian

the prose OF the narratives with some
thing of the emotional atmosphere which
it is the peculiar quality of Wagner S

Mr.. Blair, as the representative of

that the court make the change in the

the extra cost, making the court good
for any expense. Besides this the rail-

men interested in the change, met at
the western end of the bridge and look

ed changing the short span from 20
feet, as had been proposed, to 90 feet,
so that the B. & N. will have more

The court and the representatives Of

in cost between the old plan and the

that the railroad should pay this differ
