4 Romantic Biography of Roman
TIC Poet.

TASSO AND HIS TIMES. BY William BoultIng
With twenty Illustrations 8vo, PIP XIV, 5l4'
@. L. PutnamS Sons
Mr. Boulting has written one of those books
which begin by exciting in the reader a certain
distaste and end by winning his sympathy He
threatens even in his preface to take a sentl-
mental line. and from beginning to end his work
is indeed, triGe overweight. AS he develops
his theme. however the rather emotional tone
adopted somehow justifies itself. After all.
Tasso was a romantic figure, both as a poet and
as a man, if ever there was one. and we can
scarcely find fault with Mr. Bouting If he has
allowed romantic atmosphere to perVade MS
book The result is to give the reader a height
ened sense of the charm which belongs to one OF
the most picturesque careers in Italian lltera-
ture This study is well named. 1t not only
portrays the poet but reconstructs his surround

Is there an memorable law governing the CON
struction of a good detective story? II there IS
one Mr. \ {. Fox Davies, author Of The
Mauleverer Murders" which we fayorably re
viewed the other day, would like to know all
about it. one If his CONNIE ntatOrs has told
him in the saturday Review that he hardly
plays the game in making it impossible to guess
who is the real murderer. for the most skilful
type of detective story puts all the pieces on the
board at the outset. OF course, Mr.. EOX-Dayies
is moved to reply, and though he promises to
play the game in framing the plot of the novel
on which he is now working. he cannot forbear
asking these questions: who made the rules
of that game? Where are they 10 be found?
What authority have they? Why on
earth one should be required to table all ones
cards ut the outset or why one should be under
the necessity Of giving the reader the oppor-
tunity of guessing correctly | fail 10 see.
There is something TO be said on both sides of
the question. The masters OF the detective
story generally observe the rules Of the game,
in the sense understood by Mr. Fox Davies's
critic But, on the other hand the matter IS
hardly one TO take with great seriousness. To
treat a book like The Maulevcrcr Murders in
the light of kind Of classic standard is to
break n butterfly upon wheel The main point
where these ephemeral novels of mystery are
concerned is that they should be amusing.

Running Birds In Enoland.

Considerable interest is excited by the humming birds now on view at the geological gardens. Fifty-three of these tiny. fragile birds were taken on board from Venezuela: many died on the voyage, but the fittest sur vived, and 20 reached Regents park alive. At the time of writing F are shown in two large glass cages fur nished with Towering plants. and placed in the insect-house which can be kept at high temperature. Moths in cage near look bigger than these small birds. It is to be hoped that these dainty feathered gems may take kindly to their new surroundings, and live long to delight the eyes of many dwellers in smoky London.-West- minister Gazette.

 Watertown, s. D.
 Dear Sir:
 Your letter dated Nov. 27th at hand and was very glad to hear from you. I see that you are still at work per suading people to move into the Cana dian Northwest. I must tell you that I owe you many thanks for persuading me to come out here, am only sorry that I wasn't persuaded sooner, and there is still plenty of good chances for many more right at the present time. I hope that you will be able to induce more to make start out to this part of the country.
 Now I must tell you what I have accomplished since I came out here and it won't be three years till the 1st of July. l shall shortly receive my patent for my homestead, the home stead cost me s10.00 in all, today it is worth s30.00 per acre, ~ it is not for sale Then a year ago last May I bought 320 acres at s7.00 per acre and sold this fall for s20.00 per acre and cleared a profit of s4,160.00. How is that for the Northwest? I now have 320 acres of land and all paid for, 15 head of horses, 90 head of cattle g pigs, ? sheep and about 150 chickens and other poultry, and all new ma chinery and everything is paid for. We also bought let's in Calgary and ' in High River. We gave s470 for the 15 lots and they are paid for. At present l consider myself worth s13,- 000.00, and when I left Wisconsin less than three years ago I had about s2,00000. This year 1 threshed little over 4,000 bushels of grain, have about one thousand bushels of fine potatoes and about five hundred bush els of turnips. Mrs. Beisiegel sold about s200 worth of garden truck and poultry this fall. Now there are lots of others in this community who did as well as I did in the same length of time.
 The family and myself are all we'll at this writing and hope this letter will find you the same.
 Yours very truly,

Kind Woman'e Assistance Meant
 Much to This Tramp.

A certain lady, noted for her k1hd heart and open hand. was approached not long ago by a man who, with tragic air, began:
 "A man, madam, is often forced by the whip of hunger to many things from which his very soul shrinks- and so 1t is with me at this time Un- less, madam, in the name of pity. you give me assistance, I will be com. pelled to do something which I never before have done, which I would greatly dislike to do''
 Much impressed, the lady made haste to place in his hand a fivedol- lar bill. As the man pocketed it with profuse thanks, she inquired:
 And what is the dreadful thing l have kept you from doing, my poor man?"

Her Aim,

A man who runs a truck farm in Virginia tells of the sad predicament in which a colored man named Sam Moore, who is in his employ, recently found himself. Sam had had consid- erable difficulty in evading the on- slaughts of a dog from neighboring farm. Finally the dog got him, as Sam kicked at him.
 Sans wife, hearing tremendous yell, rushed to the rescue of her hus- band When she came up the dog had fastened his teeth in the calf of Sans leg and was holding on for dear life. Seizing a stone in the road, Sans wife was about to hurl it when Sam. with wonderful presence of mind, shouted:

A Square Deal.

A certain peasant supplied baker with three pounds of butter daily. and after some time the baker noticed that the butter never weighed three pounds. At last he summoned him.

TRAITORS AWFUL FATE.
sn,othered by Streams of Flour After
 Revealing Clans Secrets.

Riga Russia - Horrible punish ment has just been inflicted by reyolutionists upon a former member of the band of conspirators against the government. whose treachery led to the discovery of a secret confer ence- and caused the death of many of the revolutionists and arrest of others of the band.
 The Central Revolutionary Commit tees of Courland. Livland and Estland used an old mill just outside of Riga for their meeting place. A man named Sproge, who had broken with the rev olutionaries, betrayed them to the po- lice. Officers went to the old mill, surrounded the place and called on the revolutionists to surrender. In trying to escape, 30 of the conspira- tors were shot and killed Many oth- CTS were captured
 Sproge's treachery was discovered and other revolutionists decided to kill him by frightful tortures. He was captured and taken to the same mill where the revolutionists had met There he was tied to the floor and a loose sack with a small hole fas- tened about his head. A stream of four was allowed to run through the rcle. Ultimately the sack was com pletely filled and Sproge was slowly snothered The revolutionaries left the body there with note of warning to other traitors

A SMALL SECRET.
Couldn't Understand the Taste of
 His Customers.

Two men were discussing the var fous food products now being supplied in such variety and abundance.
 One, a grocer, said, T frequently try a package or so of any certain article before offering it to my trade, and in that way sometimes form different idea than my customers have.
 For instance, thought would try some Postum Food Coffee, to see what reason there was for such cali for it. At breakfast didn't like t and supper proved the same, so l naturally con- cluded that my taste was different from that of the customers who bought it right along.
 "A day or two after, I waited on lady who was buying a 25c package and told her I couldn't understand how one could fancy the taste of Postum.
 "I know just what is the matter she said, you put the coffee boiler on the stove for just fifteen minutes, and ten minutes of that time it simmered, and perhaps five minutes it boiled; now if you will have it left to boil full fifteen minutes after 1t commences to boil, you will find delicious Java-like beverage, rich in food value of gluten and phosphates, so choice that you will never abandon it, particularly when you see the great gain in health We'll, I took another trial and sure enough I joined the Postum army for go life seems worth living since have gotten rid of my old time stom- ach and kidney troubles"
 Postum is no sort of medicine, but pure liquid food. and this, together with relief from coffee worked the change. There's a Reason

Where cannIbaIs Abound.

Cannibalism exists, In spite of the
dictum Of the report of the inquiry
commission. DR.. Hinde has told that
after n particularly murderous bat
tie, in which the fierce Botetela tribe
Of Congolese negroes had been used
against the Arabs, every member Of
these cannibal allies had at least one
body to eat.
"An the meat was cooked and
smoke-dried. and formed provisions
for the whole Of the force and for all
the camp followers for many days
a~fterward." Dr.. Hinde presents q
somewhat novel point Of view: Dur
ing the war In which we were now en-
gagged for two years, we reaped, per
haps, the only advantage that could
be claimed for this disgusting custom.
In the night following a battle or the
storming Of q town these human
wolves disposed of all the dead, leav-
Ing nothing even for the jackals, and
thus saved us, no doubt, from many
