This is O story of early Saxon and
Augliap folk, the first scenes Of it be-
ing placed on the continental borders of
the Baltic, and the second part being
in England. Usfrey, "ceorl," was
something above a s1aee. but far below
a freeman. He loved Cuthberga, of the
atbeling class, who was 80 above him
that she scorned him duly, but was
willing to wed him in order to escape
marriage with Eumer. a treaccherous
guest at the house of her guardian
and yet, welded to Usfrey, she despised
him even more than before. And in
the ensuing scene of rapine and blood
though he served her well, she lost
nothing of her feeling of being high
above him. At the same time she was
treacherous toward him, loving the chief
of the tribe. Lila. The ravishers came
upon the village, and Usfrey played a
manly part, and yet the village was
burned and Lila carried on in cap
tiyity. The faithful ones left their old
home and went to England in search
of their chief, and met many adven.

Literature in the School: Aims. Methods
and Interpretations. BY John S.
Welch Published by Silver. Burdett
and Company, New York.
This book is by the former superin-
tendent of the Grammar Schools of Salt
Lake City who died recently and is
buried in Mt. Olivet. Tt is a high class
work, in which the author properly in
ssts upon the value Of literature in the
schools. In the introduction he explains
his aim. which is to develop character
and inculcate ideas that will have a
tendency to soften the commerclalism
of the time, and TO create in the minds
high ideals, The outlook Of the work
is broad; It's spirit is optimistic, and its
theories are practicable.
The work is divided into two parts,
the first of which contains five chap.
ters, viz: Literature, Its Scope and
Purpose, " "Spiritual Environment, -
Literature and the Reading Prob
Stories'
Part two includes chapters on
s'Psyc biology and the Reading Prob

Story Analyzed ~; "Type Studies: Ma

paTaulVe study. - lnere are Dnree sup
plements, A. B, and G, which sug
gest searching questions as to the un-
derstanding Of the pupils on the sub
ject read The book concludes with
good index.
This author believed that in the
study OF literature in our public schools
lies our greatest safeguard against the
over mphasis Of a narrow commercial
spirit. He believed that it is the func-
tion of literature to inculcate, in the
boys and girls Of our land, higher ideals,
to cultivate their imagination and to
give them those staunch moral stand
ards necessary for reliability of char
acter. He held that it is more I'M
portant for the schools to see TO 1T that
the boy becomes manly man and the
girl womanly woman than that they
should become skilled artisans. 1t is
reliability, rather than cleverness or
shrewdness, that the nation needs in
the citizens of tomorrow.
There is no question but the book is
valuable one, intoxicating sound doc
trine. and bearing evidence of deep
thought and research. 1t cannot fail
to be of the highest interest to all
friends Of the schools, and wherever
its inculcation impresses itself upon the
teachers, and the work reaches the
schools, it's influence cannot fail to be
for elevation and good Influence In
every respect.

DO ANIMALS REASON7

Instinct and Intelligence. BY Perley
Martin Cartmell. Cochrane Publishing
Company. Tribune Building, New York,
The author of this book argues stout
" for the intelligent capacity of brutes.
He thinks that brutes have the reason
ing faculty, and conscience; and he
does not stop much short of saying
that they have souls. He gives most
extraordinary series of alleged facts,
going to prove the actual reasoning
faculty of various animals, and stoutly
AYERS that all the instances which he
gives are true. Undoubtedly, he would
be pronounced by Colonel Roosevelt and
John Burroughs "nature faker." But
he does not seem to mind that in the
least, pursuing his narations and his
discussions therefrom with stout heart
and earnest assertion. The stories are
much like those that are commonly told,
and most of them have both pith and
point.

Origin. History. and Present tendencies
of Law Making by Statute. BY Fred
eric Jesup Stimson. Professor OF Com

A thorough going, able, and lnstruc-

foundation of law making, and follows
the growth and processes down to the
diversified tumble we have in this coun
try, where English common law, Fed.
nothing of court law, are so inextri.
cably intertwined that, as President
Taft points out, we have about come
to standstill in enforcing the law, :,
We have here, first, 1.-THE English
Idea of Law, followed by Early
English Legislation and Magma
Charta, with thorough analysis and
detailed and clear descriptions of the
various steps as liberty of action was
gained; and this eventually, resulted
broadly, in the "Re-esta abishment Of
Anglo Saxon Law" for "Give MS back
our ancient rights and Liberties " was
the constant demands made of the Nor
man kings by the English.
Then we come to "Early Labor

forth in admirable detail and lucidity
followed by equally admirable treat
ment of TOther Legislation in Me

ing the best, fullest, and most in

Then we come to "American Legis

and Monopolies.' Corporations,
Labor Laws" and ''C ordinations

with such completeness of detail and
exactness of statement that the reader
is compelled mentally to applaud as he

Then we come to special features Of

and final chapter on forms, need OF
authorized revision, reforms recon-
mended, and the like.
The work is one that shows astonieh
ing research and power of sitting and
getting at the pith of the matter
Enormous reading must have gone to
the making Of the book, and then mag
nificent power of putting the results
of that reading in clear and concise
form. 1t is monumental work, de-

highest appreciation and praise.

The Miracle Of Right Thought By Orison
Sweet Marden. Published by Thomas
y, Crowell g. Co, New York.
This is q book of good purpose. that
purpose being very fairly brought out.
First is discussed "The Divinity of
Desire Then the reader is assured
that success aud happiness are attain
able. The contrariety of working for
one thing and expecting another is
clearly pointed out, and the reader is
urged to expect great things and
warned against self encouragement by
suggestion The crime of having
the blues is dwelt upon, and the inn
portance of changing the thought
where that thought is depressing, so
that the man may be elevated, is duly
set forth. The paralysis of fear is
warned against, and the desirability of
getting at one and in tune with the
Divine is emphasized The impor-
tance of developing the great power
within the man is incuIcated. and then
the Importance of training for longevi-
ty. for good thought, for the bringing
up of children, and warning against
mental self thought poisoning, all come
in for discussion and settlement. The
author is evidently deeply desirous of
serving humanity, and in this book he
makes noble effort toward inspira-
tional help.

Is Mankind Advancing? By Mrs. John
Martin. Published by the Baker
Taylor Company, New York.
This book is, as stated, ga vigorous
discussion Of this inexhaustible ques-
ton, marked by courage, keen skep-
ticsm, and wide acquaintance with ut
ersture and life The author believes
that the human mind, and the human
body as well, has never reached the
great attainments made by the ancient
Greeks She considers that Aristotle
is the greatest man of all time In in
tellectual attainments and sheer weight
of brain power, and brings a great deal
of solid support forward for her posi-
ton She discusses the great questions
involved in an absolutely cold, candid
manner, measuring progress by genius
by "more things and more facts" also
by morals, by mysticism, and in con.
clusion by stating conditions of
progress. It is work of extensive
and clear thought, in which the author
shows great capacity Of research, rea.
soning. appreciation, and comparison
There is certainly much to say in favor
of the supremacy of ancient intellect
As shown in this book, we have never
reached since the times of the Greeks
the high philosophical and speculative
power possessed by the chief lights of
that ingenious people, nor have we
ever attained in lofty spiritual power
to the standard of the ancient biblical
prophets and seers. The book is a
most interesting one, not only for what
it saws, but for what it suggests; and
it is well worth the reading Of every
thoughtful person. The author has
done wonderfully good work in 1T, and
