PHILOSOPHICAL NOVEL
BY FERRER0 IS UNIQUE
Contrasts Old and New World In CIev.
err Dialogue Based on Tour.

The literary sensation in Paris is the
publication Of philosophical novel on
America by Guglielmo Ferrero, the
FIRST installment Of which appears in
the Revue des Deux Mondes. The
work, which is entitled Entire Les
Deux Mondes," is the first Of its kind
ever attempted by Signor Ferrero
whose literary activities have hitherto
been confined to historical writings.
Interest in the new book therefore is
extremely keen, especially as 1t is writ.

mittedly the most difficult style tC
adopt for a work Of such scope. The
idea first occurred to Signor Ferrero
when he returned from Buenos Aires
after a lecturing tour in 1906. At din.
ner on the boat the discussion turned
on the civilization of the new world as
compared with that Of the old. Signor
Ferrero's wife, who is very conserva.
tive, took up the cudgels on behalf of
the civilization of the old world, and
the conversation became keen and ami.
mated
Signor Ferrero was struck with the
possibilities Of a book in which would
be opposed the two conceptions of life
that which until the French revolution
dominated the world and that which
for the past century had tended to take
its place and which finds the highest
expression in the United States. He
also felt that the best manner of illus
trating the two conceptions would be
in the form Of an after dinner dialogue
on shipboard.
One of the characters in the book is
drawn from real life He is an engi

age Of forty-five to devote himself Il

character, independent, noble and sa

Signor Ferrero began the work on hi
return from the United States in 1909
when he paid a visit at Presiden
Roosevelt's invitation, but the Difficult
ties he found in representing living per
sons in philosophical form and in keep
ing the discussion vivacious retarded
its completion.

SAYS ONIONS PREVENT ILLS.
Dr.. Mary Walker Declares Odorous
Vegetable Chases Disease.

The use of plenty of onions will drive
among other things, contagious disease
out of any city, DIR. Mary Walker, the
noted woman physician, recently de
clared. Here are DR.. Walkers direc
tons for the use of onions:
Eat plenty of them-stewed. boiled
fried or raw.
Keep the fumes of onions continual
ly permeating the atmosphere.
Spread onions in the alleys, on the
lawn and any other place where il
might appear they would do good"
DR.. Walker said onions were partic
ularly effective against smallpox. The
use Of the vegetable in two cities al
least has proved her contention to bt
correct, she asserted.
Madrid was one of the affected
Cities" she said. "Some even had
made this statement before the onion:
were used that the city would be de
populated by smallpox. The minister
plenipotentiary assured me that the
spread of the disease had been halted
by the use Of onions. They also were
used in other cities"

Negotiate With United States.

For many years negotiations were
conducted between Great Britain and
the United States looking toward the
establishment of parcel post between
these countries, but 1t was not until
1905 that an agreement was reached
The service was at first subjected t.
serious limitations, as parcels could
not exceed four pounds six ounces In

A REPORT by Harry ]. Staley in
~ the New York Evening Post on
"a the parcel post in England and
France is as follows:
The British and French postal au
thOritieS are watching the installation
of parcel post in the United States with
great interest With them it has been
a matter of slow growth. and they are
amazed at the audaciOus undertaking
which contempates the establishment
of parcel post on 100000 miles of rail
way, not TO mention rural routes, star
routes and steamship lines with onI!
five months of preparation and an in
significant initial appropriation of only
$4,000.
For purposes of comparisons some
facts and figures on the British parcel
post obtained through the courtesy OF
w. c. c. Kirkwood, in charge of the
railway mail service of Great Britain
may be of interest TO Americans.
1t was in 1882 that England through
an act of parliament first began to re,
ceive the benefits of a parcel post sys
TEN. This came about as the result OF
a postal conference held in Paris in
1880, but it was not until 1888 that the
inland and international parcel post
were linked together.
At this time an arrangement with
the railway clearing house" Of Eng
land was entered into by the British
poStOffice, under which the various rail
way companies were to receive eleven.
twentieths Of the postage collected
upon all parcels carried by the rail
ways.
A maximum Of seven pounds in
weight and three and a half feet in
length was allowed. The rates of post
age on this class Of mail were fixed at
6 cents for parcels not exceeding one
pound, ranging upward to "a cents for
