WHERE TO FIND BOHEMIA.
In New York 1t Is Situated in Region
 of Dingy Boarding Houses.

In cold reality, Bohemia Is some blocks of dingy, front-stoop boarding houses in West F'fty-seventh street, New York, in which a lot of young, undirected stu dents live fairly cheaply and very poorly, and form loose, lawless habits in defiance of all conventional and orderly living, says Anne Evans in the Delineator for May. The real working artists of Amer ica have no part on this Bohemia, though they often live in the same street. They are too busy doing things that are worth while, but these youngsters catch their mannerisms and exaggerate their fads till their brains are filled with a gas of big phrases and theories of life, of whose meanings they have not the faintest con ception. In dreams of accomplishment they forget to work. They discard the practical with a fine scorn of conner ciaism, which Bohemia despises, and upon which 1t feeds-for Bohemia never supports itself.

 TaPisa5;l %inston g 'sfiS' F. "SiiS' '''AA =
 This is story of life in the alleys, tenements, and shanties of the national capital written by Charles E. Weller, who Is the executive secretary of the Presi- dents home commission, whom the Pres ident appointed to ascertain the IvlnS conditions of the poorer class III the clly of Washington.
 Intead of dry statistics, the book is full of stories from actual life, in which the writer used typical incidents. Ninety six telling photographs are used as H. lustrations. Any one who glances, even hastily, at the pictures is sure to slt up and take notice" Each of the three parts of the book dealing respectively with the "alleys, tenements and shantieS' opens with a story which might appropriately appear in any popular magazine. In one chapter is told how MT. Weller went to live in one of the unique hidden alleys of Washington in order to investigate the immortality and segregation. and study the lurid character of life there.
 The book has an introductory letter from former President Roosevelt com mending not only the book but MT. Well Ter, very highly and to those who are interested in reading of the awful condl- tions with the hope of doing something to alleviate the suffering of Neglected Neighbors," this book will appeal. It was evidently written with the Idea to interest certain men of means who would do something in Washington and other portions of the country to assist the sub merged tenth.
 The book is handsomely gotten up, but taken all in all, is very depressing one to read. And 1t is question in this re- viewers mind as to whether the pupnca- tion of such books ever secure the object for which they were written.

Events by John D. Rockefeller.
 Doubleday, Page 6 Co.
 To jump from reading such a book as
 Neglected Neighbors'' to these collected
 "reminiscences of MT. Rockefeller, which
 have heretofore appeared in Worlds
 Work" and are now sent forth for the
 first time In book form, in which we
 have chapters dealing with "A Glance
 Backward" Some Old Friends" The
 Difficult Art of Getting" Business Ex-
 periences," and 'Principle;" "The Diff
 cult Art of Giving" ''The Benevolent
 Trust" and '"rhe Standard Oil company"
 Is rather startling to say the least
 MT. Rockefeller says in his preface that
 he fas tempted to write these ren1inis-
 cences for a number of reasons. pr1n-
 cipally that his family and those con-
 nected with him, might not be unjustly
 criticised for what he had done. MT.
 Rockefeller goes into long details as to the
 difficult art of giving, and explains to
 more or less extent how difficult 1t is
 to know just where to place enormous
 sums of money that will help people In
 sorrow and tribulation. It is rather dif-
 ficult for anybody to gather the points
 that MT. Rockefeller attempts to make
 insofar as the difficult art of giving. , For a man who has gotten all the money
 he wants, evidently, or as much as Provi- dence will permit him physically to fur
 ther secure. to sit down and write, as it
 were, a lot of platitudes, to us 1t seems like piece of impertinence
 The book will be read by those peo-
 pie who many think they will find out by the reading something of what MT. Rockefeller has been doing for the past 30 years. But man who finds 1t so easy to forget" on the witness stand has not put into his book any points which will prove interesting to &l.e T -I~4 of the Standard oil company. The book is simply a defense of MT. Rockefel Ter and his associates, and 1t is a great regret to all who are interested in such matters that MT. Rockefeller did not go further into details which he studtously avoided
 Human Nature in Selling Goods" by James H. Collins (Henry Altemus company.
 Few persons have studied American selling methods to better purpose than has MT. Collins, whos articles in the Saturday Evening Post and other popu- lar publications are familiar to most magazine readers.
 According to the last figures. more than 6,000,000 persons in the this country are engaged in selling things. and of this vast army fully 100000 arc commercial travellers.
 MT. Collins main contention in his book is that the men with the best practical Knowledge of human nature I will make the most successful sales 1 men. He realizes that several types of men attain success, but he sees an underlying similarity in their meth ods. MT.

training of the girls who enter Bohemia. No one of worth or wisdom has time or occasion to advise them when they need It most. At most formative age, when impressions are erystallizing into convic- uons and life is made up of the action of environment upon character. both impress sions and environment are formed by the mischieyous standards of this Bohemian life.
 Few families in America can aord to patronize art more heavily than $50 a months worth. That is the average young students allowance from home. So the principal qualities of an art stu dents living are, first, freedom from care, so that she may have time for her studies and, second, cheapness. In New York freedom from care means untid- ness, for here no one has time to pick up after you; and cheap living means poor living for New York is not cheap. And that is materially, what Bohemianism stands for-untidy, poor living.

driver and two other men standing
on the back step. But when the Wis

been issued in the United states dur

wagon and the total equals all the
money there is in the world today.
A recent calculation produced some
rather remarkable comparisons. F)r
instance, the report says: 1T would
take a string Of hay wagons twenty
miles long to hold the money that has
passed through this old van If the
packages were piled one on top of the
other they would make a monument
fifteen miles high If the bills were
placed end To- end the string would
be 250,O0O miles long, or equal to ten
times the distance around the world
They would carpet a road fifty feet
wide from New York to san Fran

supply the average family with fuel
for $50 years. Had an expert begun

where it is printed, to the treasury
department, scarcely half a mile
away The money is packed in bum
dies, each weighing IL and one-half
pounds and each containing one thou

sheet. The value of each package de-
pends, of course, upon the denomina-

one package which was composed

That was an exceptional bundle. but
even when the bills are of the lowest
denomination, 81, the packages are
worth $4,000 each
1t is because of the value of its
loads that the old wagon is accom-
panied by four men, two in front and
two behind, besides the driver. Uncle

The
General Demand

Of the Well-Informed of the World has
always been for simple, pleasant
and efficient liquid laxative remedy OF
known value; laxative which physi-
clans could sanction for family use
because its component parts are
known to them to be wholesome and
truly beneficial in effect, acceptable
to the system and gentle, yet prompt,
in action. -
In supplying that demand with its
excellent combination of Syrup of
Figs and Elixir of SIENNA, the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. proceeds along
ethical lines and relies on the merits
of the laxative for its remarkable
success.
That Is one of many reasons why
Syrup of Figs and Elixir Of SIENNA Is
given the preference by the Well
Informed. To get its beneficial effects
always buy the genuine-manufac
