.Then Mental Man. By Gustav Gott-
 lieb wenzlaff, M. A. Charles E. Mer-
 Till Co)
 This volume contains an outline Of the fundamentals of psychology by the presi- dent of the State Normal school, spring field, s. D.
 The object, as stated by the author, in producing this work is to present the subject in a concise and clear manner, yet make it's scope sufficiently wide TO include, In the main, all proper mental phenomena.
 Aside from this we are assured that If +he author has been dominated by any one idea more than another while writ ing this book, it is that the treatnen. should be such as to make the reader feel that the subject has relation to the act ual conditions of life
 MT. wenzlaff tells us that psychology is not a logic, describing and explaining the processes of correct and fallaclous thinking; nor a discussion merely of ap- perception or the manner in which knowi- edge Is acquired and expanded; nor mero Iv A laboratory handbook Of psycho-pny- sica1 measurements But psychology IS science that should also show us the mina a oY the man growing, striving, moved ana moving, consciously ,and mysterlousiy working and ever fuctuatfng and vary ing. often even to pathoiogicai extets., s,1c Tn short. that phycology should be the story and discussion of the mental man
 .The Mental Man" is really written from the point of view not of the school master or theorist, but of a student ana close observer of the human mind In all its various states and workings we are assured that all statements of psycholog- tsaI fact in the several departments Of inc book have been carefully examined and approved by scholars of special qual- % iications for criticisihg the topics sup mitted to their supervision
 While written primarily as textpooH K for schools and colleges, me Mem.al ,isa nTan., affords profitable reading for sum- mer schools, teachers institutes, reading oircles and so on.

Wild Flowers Every Child Should
 Know" By Frederick William Stack.
 Doubleday, Page & Co)
 If you concede without any argument, any back talk, so to speak, that every child should know something or great deal about wild flowers, this book Is about the best that could be secured for the surgical operation.
 This volume Is one of series of books published by Doubleday, Page & Co. known as Every Child Should Know" series, including hymns. poems, myths, heroes birds. and what not, about every thing you can think of.
 The only possible comment that this reviewer has to make on these books, or series, Is that they are written, so far as he can judge, more for the grown-ups mental grasp than for "every child.'
 This book, however. seems to be possi- bly, an exception to the criticism just made. The wild flowers are arranged ac- cording to color, with reliable descrip- tons of the more common species of the United States and Canada.
 The author, MT. Frederick William Stack was formerly field collector for

Where Mahomet's Tomb Is Now
Lighted With Electricity.
The HedJjaz railway is a remarka-
BILE undertaking. Not only does it
link Damascus with Medina, the city
that in the eyes of Mahomedans is
second only in sanctity to Mecca
itself, but it has been regarded from
it's inception as sacred work.
1t is likely that the line will be con-
tinued to Mecca, and in his speech at
the Inauguration Mukhtar Bey prom
ised that he would use every endeavor
to secure this end. The actual open7
ing ceremony was performed ~ the
grand mufti of Damascus, and somf
interesting speeches followed.
It was after the line had been in
augurated that the special mission
visited the electric plant which has
ben installed to supply electric light
to sae mosque that contains the tomb
of the prophet. Later In the day the
events of the hour were celebrated
still further in that most modern
| method by the letting of Of fireworks
and by illumination.

the Secretary Of War, in his report for
the present year, states that ono post
smaller than regimental one is of
real value from the military standpoint
so far as education, discipline, and
drill are concerned 1t would follow
from this that in the opinion OF the
Secretary, applying it to Fort Douglas,
that it should be made and main
tanned as full regimental post. We
have been urging that it should be
made brigade post, and think that
there is plenty of room there for it;
but official criticism has been made tc
the effect that the reservation is not
large enough for a brigade post. We
trust, however, that the post may be
made aud kept always Mt least of full

buildings be constructed on scale
commensurate with that idea; and we
still think that they should be on the
brigade plan. The new improvements
