Some Eastern Imagery

FLAME AND TIE SHADOW EATER. By Hen-
reua Weaver Emo. 10. $50. Henry Holt N 20
The tales in this book, of which
there are fifteen, are marked with
freshness and spontaneity of invention,
with ingenuity. and with much mingled
delicacy and splendor of Oriental mag
ery. They are also largely instinct
with the philosophy OF Asian peoples
With all this. however, there IS a re-
grettable lack of true Oriental atmos-
nhere and spirit. and there is also at
times a strange use or misuse of words
and even of words which VIC must con
fess never to have met before and to
he unable to discover in the dict ionary'
Thus, on the early pages of the hrst
story in the beck we find mention oil
"culumnal clouds OF an "imbricateds "a .,
beam" and Of "empyrean darkness
The first OF these expressions is new
10 our metecrology. How beam (of
iighO can be "imbricnted", is difficult
20 understand; and the last Of the
tbreo phrases surely contains a fiat
contradiction in terms.

Levine in a simple, direct and impress
sive narrative, the reader of which is
made 10 feel that at last he has had
authentic insight into the actual work
ings Of the Russian national mind and
soul. Beginning far enough back to
disclose the very beginnings of Russian
revolutionary aspirations and resent
ment against Prussianism. it brings the
story right down to the present time
and makes us to know what Russia has
been and what Russia is to-day; from
which those who will may specul ate
upon a better basis than ever before
upon what Russia will be.

A Tragic ldyl

son. l2mo. % 90. +. i. Dur0n 90.
The whole varied gamut of domestic
relations is run in this 1bsorbingly in
teresting romance; with irresistible
comedy and with the pathos and tragedy
of a Greek drama. Nobody can read
the second chapter without Infinite
chortlings, or the thirty-second without
tears. The contrasts OF racy human
nature, and of haunting and ethereal
imagery which are presented. are amaz-
ingly effective. OF course, the climax
in the closing chapters is sheer inven-
ton Of the most impossible type. Yet
Hawthorne and Kipling, in the most
different ways conceivable, have made
use of the same supernatural motive,
though with neither does il cu.minate
in so transcerden: q tragedy. In
mingled and finely balanced force and
felicity of EXPIRE ession, Mr.. Henderson's
work reaches standard of excellence
not often approximated in current iic-
ton. and in the daring climax OF the
plot. if Of plot we may appropriately
sneak. il stands unsurpassed.

IL epitomizes in one small volume all

ROCKS MAKE A GOOD WALK

We made q walk the other day en-
tlrely out Of rough "nigger head" tslli-

cred out of the field where they were
In the why, and thus two purposes
were served by their utilization.
The method Of building was us sim
pie ns the material used A trench
was dug along each side Of the walk
aud stones put into II, 50 that they
projected about IN inch above the sur
face Of the ground.
The earth was packed back around
them TO keep them firm. Then the
space between was covered with small
or stones, the middle Of the walk be-
Ing made higher, very little, than
the edges
These stones We're beaten down with
n sledge, so that one could walk over
them without too much injury to the
shoe leather. aud the whole then coy-
cred with Sawdust and clnders.
This fills up the creyices and holds
the rocks steady until they settle into
place, and makes the walk smooth and
even.
There is almost always Il need for
more walks on farm. Sometimes
there Is very pressing need. A few
hours work may save wonderful
amount Of mud-wadlng.
Materials for walks Is not hard to
find Beside the standard brick and
concrete. there are shells, rough stones
Of all kinds, gravel from creeks or
beds, cinders, suwdust and tan bark.
All these make good walks, although
the latter ones require frequent re-
newings.
Neither Is construction n hard job.
The main essentials are good side lines
that will not be torn loose or heayeJ
out and that are straight and smooth,
ana some provision for drainage.
The center Of walk should be made
higher in practically all cases; and
where water Is likely to stand on one
side. means should be provided to car.
ry II on.
In the bnrnyard and other places
where a walk could not he very well
kept up, stepping stones, well placed,
will answer the purpose, and not only
save lots Of muddy walking, but also
help to get rid Of any useless rocks you
may have scattered about In the way.
