Riggs Diefendorf. With % Illustrations
$40. PIP. xiv. 33l. G. +. Putnam's Sons.
Mrs Diefendorf has based this con-
densed survey upon the works of the
best known OF the many historians Of
the old New York frontier, from School
craft and Cadwalader Golden to Francis
w. Halsey. In addition. she has consult
ed some hitherto unpublished contem-
porary historical manuscripts in the care
of the State Librarian at Albany and of
various historical societies or in the pos
session Of private persons Herself a
descendant OF the settlers Of the region
through more than one line. Dutch,
Palatine and Puritan. she begins not
only with the Indians before the white
man came but with the question OF their
very origin and with the many specula-
tons regarding it. even the ten lost
tribes Of Israel not being forgotten. just
as in the case ~ the Dutch she goes

booker, to the creation Of the world. at

allies Of all-conquering Rome The rec
ord Is carried on to the opening OF the
Erie Canal in the carly part of the last
century
An undertaking of such scope within
comparatively SO small a space becomes
a matter Of paragraphs, not pages of
constant and painstaking condensation.
This difficult task has been carried out in
such a manner that one Is tempted to
rapid reading, whereas slow and careful
perusal is required. lest much Of the in
formation in this crowded writing fail
To- receive the attention II deserves. The
book answers well it's purpose of a gem
cral survey for the average reader, and
will undoubtedly be found of interest
also by the young. The author COM
bines history in its larger significance
with sketches of the daily life and doings
Of the periods she traverses.

The work has two main divisions. the
first, or subjective. dealing with the
mental activities OF judge, advocates
and juries; the second. or objective. with
the accused and witnesses. There are
studies Of the integrity and the correct
ness Of examines. and Of the motives
that may influence them. Of the outward
signs that may give clew to their men
tai states in facial expression. gestures
and attitude, and even in their dress: Of
modes of drawing differences from the
testimony given; Of intellectual proc
esses, association of ideas. memory and
its thickness mistakes OF the senses.
Misunderstanding. deliberate misstate-
ments and the like. and Of differentiat-
ing conditions of giving testimony. in
which the question Of the sex Of the ex-
aminee comes in for close scrutiny.
Concerning statistics Of morality, Pro-
fossor Gross quotes an observation made
in the course Of a discussion Of Quetelet's
labors in this field at the Academy Of
Sciences in Brussels that compels atten-
ton:
Nobody doubts that there are mysteries
In the figures and figuring Of statistics.
We admit honestly that we know no more
to-day than when Paul de Decker con-
fessed what puzzle IL was that human
conduct even in its smallest manifesto
tions. obeyed in their totally constant and
imnutable laws. Concerning this curious
fact Adolf Wagner says: II a traveller
had told us something about some people
where statute determines exactly how
many persons per year shall marry die.
commit suicide, and crimes within certain
classes-and II he had announced, further
more, that these laws were altogether
obeyed. what should we have said? And as
a matter Of fact the laws are obeyed the
world over.
The importance Of this series, still
more the importance Of its potential in
fuence upon the problem OF delinquency
and its judicial treatment in this coun-
try. can hardly be overestimated. The
volumes are excellently printed. in clear.

Poultry Pickings.

To keep hen In good health she
needs nearly seven times more fresh

the horse.
Fowls throw off much of the waste
Of the body through the lungs. As
they do not sweat in the sense that
other animals do. they breathe when
heated several times faster than sweat
Ing animals
Most people think Il pond or creek Is
necessary for the successful raising OF
geese. hut this Is not absolutely neces-
sary. though II wonld seem to be more
natural for them To have pond or
creek to swim IN They must have
plenty of pure water to drink and will
grow and breed Just nS well without
swimming pool as with one.
II Is true that the cost of raising hens
and producing eggs has increased. but
the proportion Is very small when
compared with the increased value OF
the output. The cost of production
has become about SO per cent larger.
while the growth OF receipts per dozen
eggs Is between $50 and $50 per cent
Ind the increase In the rate for chick
-ens and fowls IL about 100 per cent.
One pOu nv raiser told another that
she was very foolish to set pullets'
eggs. ns they wouldn't hatch. The lat
ter asked the writer about it. We an
swered that there was tiV truth in the
statement for puilets' egss will hatch
as well as hens eggs, all other things
being equal But II is not advisable
to restrict the settings to pnlletS eggs
exclusively. but use hens eggs as we'll.
The progeny from pullets Is never so
large or hardy rs from mature hens;
therefore the eggs from the latter are
preferable for setting purposes.
