Let us spend tho evening over a few new books, and periodicals. They come to us like Bplashes of foam off U19 great ocean of world thought, asro stand on its shore and inhale the bracing atmosphere that is blown in from tho four quarters of tho globe. As our city is enjoyiug several successful religious revivals, a book just at hand must prove of value t,o all interested in tho question of what constitutes a religious life. Il is not exactly a Sunday school book, but it is honest enough and true enough to have a place in any homo or church library. Tho first chap ter may be lacklug in veneration for some conceptions of religion, but tho lesson of doing, iustead of mere ly assenting to some formula of a religious sect, is bo sharply drawn that it will awaken some responso of approval in every unhypocrltical breast. The young woman charac ter "joined" church when sho knew not what it meant, aud she had found no rest for her soul or peace for her mind or contentment for her heart. In her disappointment sho cries eut: "I declare that what is called (he scheme of salvation seems to mo to be Indeed a scheme, but of man's devlsiug." A common sense young minister tells Dorothy to "do something somo good, honest work which needs to he done, for the bettering of those around you." How she took this advice, what sho did, and her success, are related In this pretty volume by Adeline Traf ton. Leo and Bhepord, Boston. Story readers that is readers of good shoit stories cannot well do without "Itomauce." Its title bo lies its contents, except that the fifteen to twonty complete tales in oacli issue of this monthly Berve the only jusuilcatlon of a roraanco to iiilord entertainment. But they are not romances. They are well- told episodes, as a rule, by the best of authors and contain the desira bility of fiction iu its most at tractive forms tho dramatic and entertaining. Romance Publishing Co., Astor i'laco, N. Y., 2.3cts a number. Sold at news stands gen erally. Heru'8 n man's kllltd two birds with one stone. He's writteu a book (but afibrds amusement to both the reader who Is obliged to entertain boyp aud girls beforo they are big enough to read them selves. At first one is inclined to say of "TIddlodywink Tales" thut its too old for young heads. But closer applications and test of its beautiful large-print pages reveals tho fact that tho uuthor has a heart both young and old. His horse play for children Is really a dry delightful bort of humor for older youth. Of course If your heart is all sour, mildewed, morose, mouldy, or cankered you need life insurance more than anyone's effort toentei taiu you. John Keudrlck BiUijjb is, wo believe, a graduate of Vale col lege, a class historian of some re nown, a rhymester of much humor, many of his catches adornlut; this pretty volume. It is a richly hound book, illustrated witli designs by Charles Howard Johnson. II. II. Itujsell & Sou, 1'uIm., New York. The Forum for February Is a perfect park of heavy artillery. The subjects are of imposiug importance, The writers are columblads like Senator Edmund, Iloraco White, Warner Miller, John Jay Knox, and other heavy-weights. Ouo wonders how they can be ho heavy, serious, solid, "poky'' and dry and yet have this magazine soil so well. Tho number of persons who imagine they aro benefitted by reading hund reds of pages on the great problems of commercial development, aud eclontifio experiment In philan thropy, is legion, and yet the genera tion of asses Is greater than ever. For (be presidential year, for poll tically-nifnded readers, for news paper writers, tho Forum is a great leader aud simper of ideas, as It gives the best the country has on any sub ject of the day. Forum Tub., Co., Uuiou Square, N. Y. A play "Athelwolri" by Amello Itives Iu February Harpera Is an agreeable relief from tbo dull aud commouplaco of periodical literature. Tho daring young Americalno has plunged her pen into (he Anglo Saxon period of early English and drawn forth a rich treat of "Rives IsmVHer heroine Is tho fairest rose of Devonshlrund U fascInatlug.Tlie hero U lured from duty to his friend and loyalty to liU king, Edgar, by her baby.fnce with woman's eyw. jq terse Nliakespearlun English we aro told that "Were tho breath of praise Given simultaneously, there were a wind To blow her into heaven." Llko Miles Standlsh, Athelwold Is sent to Moo for nuothcr aud ex presses his difficult task in tho des pair of n matchless sarcasm: "I am commissioned To match n blue oyo by a bit of heaven ; To find if certain tresses match the sun ; If her throat bo so white, herarms so smooth. Her motion delicate." The end is death, but it is a Rives ism to keep us from learning whether sho becomes queen, or not. In tragic culmination the work is artistic In high degree. In many respects it is a finished work. In daring of conception it surpasses any similar work of this ago of lotters. Curbing a tondeuoy to luxuriate in scenes of tender pussion, her work Btill throbs with the life and energy of human heart-blood. Her charac ters live, Their pulses beat. Thoy blush, blanch, shrink and tremble before tho mind's eye. Amello ltlves Is tho Hippo lyte of tho century and only tho Hercules of Avon can take away tho girdle of goldou ex cellence in dramatio art. TKEADING ON IirtOKEN UKAUTS. "They have parted," was tho key line of an article that receutly ap peared In the Spokane Spokesman. Tho article told to thu world that two people who hud loved each other, and had become husband and wife, hud fallen out, and had eepa ruled. This did not coucorn tho world, but tho wot Id demauds tho news, and iu obedience to that do maud tho pupera give it as they find it. A card in tho Spokesman illus trates thla fact, aud at tho sumo timo reveuls a little of tho agony, a llttlo of tho woo that two poople who havo loved each other must enduro when they part. This is tho card: SroKANE, Jan. 31. Edltorof tho Spokesman. Nothing has occurred in my hfetimo which occasioned mo more sorrow than thoarticlein your issue of this morning heeded "Thoy Havo Parted." From beginning to ending it is calculated to cast relleo tlous upon one who has been my wife and helpmate for- many years past, aud who has stood by me faith fully in seasons o( sorrow, sickness, prosperity ami adversity, and haB always proven herself a truo wllo and a noble woman. That mis understandings have uufortuuatelv arisen, wo iiotu Blucerc'ly regrev hut wo had desired to settle thjrsamo honorably and JiiKtly to each other and without publicity. Ttioso who have, known Mrs. Olmsted know uell that she Is not given to ostenta tious display, and had no desire to thrust herself into society, but is at all timesntruo woman, wurmhearted aud sincere Iu her friendships. She Is almost prostrated by this publica tion, as any truo womau would be, and has now aud at all times my warmest and sincere sympathies. Dn. 13. D. O1.M8TKD, Tbo Spokesman did the best it could to make amends for tho uu fortunuto publication, saying it pub lished the article under the keyllno, "Thoy Havo Parted," in tho honest belief of its truth. There will ho a terrlblo accident some day tho way tho llttlo boys catch on to tho eleotrlo ar,-J street cars and ride. In all tho counties of this state the people are learning a wholo lot about their allalrs they never knew before, owing to tho publication law.

All tho old campaigu speeches aud rati fication oratory is being re-utallzcd, The Humane society proposo to enforce the law against killing rob ins aud other song birds.

Hero is the way a leading South ern Democratic paper, the Nash vlllo American, feels towards Tam many, aud there is no doubt that a great body of Democrats feel the same way: We believe no more dangerous or unscrupulous man, no more con temptlbly weak and Incompetent man was ever suggested for presi dent of the Uulted States than Dave Hill.

" I will go still further and state that, because of the facil ities that company have for obtaining perfectly pure cream of tartar, and for other reasons dependent upon the proper proportions of the same, and the method of its preparation, "the Royal Baking Powder is undoubtedly the Purest and most reliable baking powder offered to the public.

John Stewart, said to bo tho oldest livlug white pioneer of tho South, died Tuesday evening at his homo in Old Town, 8a n Diego, aged 81 years, Stewart was one of tho ship mates of Richard Henry Dnua, and is frequently mentlonea by that author In 1i!b "Thirty Years Before tho Mast." Stewart camo luto San Diego harbor as pilot of tho ship Alert in 1830, and he has never left the city slnco, oxcept on short whal ing trips. Ho married a Spanish woman, aud leaves six or seven children. For several years ho has been an Imbecile. Death was caused by old ago. In Nebraska tho gubernatorial im broglio has resolved Itself into a waiting game. Governor Boyd states that unless tho offlco is volun tarily turned over to him by Thayer ho will wait tho issuance of the supreme court's mandate, February 20, aud then equipped with tho proper authority raako tho formal demand, allowing for tho time of transmission and tho action of tho state supreme court upon tho man date It will bo probably March 4th before ho will bo restored to his ofilce. Thayer sets up tho claim that ho received the ofilce from the state supreme court and will hold on to It until further notified by that court. His courso Is technically legal, but is generally denounced by men of all parties.

IlIlUTALITV OP OFFICERS. BcnxiN, Feb. 0. The order lasmd by Prince George of Saxony, aa inspector-general of tho German army and commander of tho Twelfth army corps, calling upon the officers of that corps to stop the Inhuman treatment practiced upon privates by non-commissioned officer?, la very likely to result in ameliorating the condition of privates of tbe wholo army, aud to free them from tho brutal tyranny of low-grade officers. Tho matter was discussed yesterday by the budget committee of tho reichstag and It was resolved to favor greater publicity In tho pro ceedings of military tribunal and tho punishments ordered by tboee courts. JAIL 11HUAK FBUBTBATKD. Dethoit, Feb. 0. Wednesday a doputy sheriff saw signs of a con spiracy among eight prisoners in the county Jail to escape He waa nt t able to discover their methods of operation and their tools, but It was found that tho Iron bars In a win dow had been almost sawed Iu two. In tho cellar of the building are three cells, called ''dark holes," as bad as those iu tho English Jails whioh Charles Rcade told of. They Lore extremely hot and close, and thero aro iron rings six feet from the floor aud similar rings near the door. Six of tho suspected prisoners were manacled to these rings at 4 p. m. Thursday, thelrannsbelugstrotched above their heads. Thoy were left In that position all night. The tor turo was frightful, and all were ready to tell everything yesterday morning. They agreed that George Daly, alias Miller, charged with lar ceny, was tiie leader, and the tools woro given up.

O.John Whittaker, a largo porkpaoker of tit, Louis and Wichita, Kan., yesterday addressed tho house committee ou agriculture in advocacy of the anti option bill. Whittaker said the tondency of short selling was to depress prices and Interfere with legitimate trade. Tho farmore, he said, wero not compelled to market their grain instead of storing It; but the experience of tbo pat eight years had taught thorn that, with this unlimited short aelllng, the best time for them to sell grain waa when It was harvested. Whittaker said the wheat exported thk year probably uveraged in prico 05 cento a bushel, and if this proposed law had been enforced, ho believed It would havo brought coaetd-waWy mora than f 1 a bushel. Ho tiki ot think the law would hurt tbe owners of grain or provWow, be cause if fictitious offering wa done away with the market would be nuppjled with actual grain or po vhtlous, and, there bele a wnaHr quantity offered, price we4 be better.
