"Eugene Field: A Study in Heredity
and Contradictions." This Is the title
of the long-expected Field biography by
Slason Thompson, chief editorial writer
of the Chicago Record-Herald. The work
is published by the Scribners in two hand
some volumes, abundantly illustrated,
many of the pictures in colors, and filled
to overflowing with new stories about
Field, unpublished letters and verses and
reproductions of the crude but graphic
drawings with which he used to illus
trate his letters.
"Not as other memoirs are written
would Eugene Field, were he alive, have
this study of his life." says Mr. Thomp
son in his introduction. "Ho would think
more of making it reflect the odd per
sonality of the man than rehearse the
birth, development, dally life and works
of the author.
"If he had undertaken to write his own
life, as was onco his intention, it would
probably have been the most remarkable
work of Action by an American author
that ever masqueraded in the Quaker
garments of facts. From title page to
colophon on which he would have Insist
edthe book would have been one studied
effort to quiz and queer (a favorite word
of his) the innocent and wllling-to-be-de-ludcd
reader.
"There were two Fields the author
and the man, and it is the purpose of
this study to reproduce the latter as he
appeared to those who knew and loved
him for whit he was personally, for the
benefit of those who have only known
him through the medium of his writings.
"In doing this it is far from my Inten
tion, and farther from my friendship, to
disturb any of the preconceptions that
have been formed from the perusal of
his works. These are the creations of
something entirely apart from the man
whose genius produced them. His fame
as an author rests on his printed books,
and will endure as surely as the basis of
his art was true, his methods severely
simple, and his spirit gentle and pure.
In his dally work the dominant noto was
that of fun and conviviality.
"It is more than probable that Eugene
Field chose Chicago for the place of his
permanent abode after deliberately
weighing the advantages and limitations
of its situation with reference to his lit
erary career. He felt that it was as far
East as he could make his home without
coming within the influence of those so
cial and literary conventions that have
squeezed so much of genuine American
flavor out of our literature.
"He had received many tempting of
fers from New York newspapers before
coming to Chicago, and after our ac
quaintance I do not believe a year went
by that Field did not decline an engage
ment, personally tendered by Mr. Dana,
to go to the New York Sun. at a salary
nearly double that he was receiving here.
"But, as he told Julian Ralph on one
occasion, ho would not live in, or write
for, the East. For, as he put it, there
was more liberty and fewer literary 'fel
lers' out West, and a man had more
chance to be judged on his merits and
'grow up with the country-'
"Practically all Field's scholarship and
mental equipment, so far ns they were
obtained from books, were acquired after
he came to Chicago, and he was never
lifted above the ragged edge of impe
cunloslty until he began to receive roy
alties from the popular edition of "A Lit
tle Book of Western Verse' and A Little
Book of Profitable Tales.'
"His domestic life was spent in flats or
rented houses until less than five months
before his death. The photographs taken
a. few months before his death of Eu
gene Field's home and the beautiful li
brary in which he wrote -are ghastly trav
esties on the nomadic character of his
domestic arrangements for many years
before June, 1S95 dreams for which he
lo-ged. but only lived to realize for four
brief months.
"All the best Field wrote previous to
js$0and It includes the best he ever
wrote except 'The Love Affairs of a Bib
liomaniac' was written in a room to
which many a box stall Is palatial, and
his sole library was a dilapidated edition
of Bartlett's 'Familiar Quotations,' Cru
drn's 'Concordance of the Bible' and a
well-thumbed copy of the King James
version of the Bible. He detested the re
vised version. The genius of this man at
this time did not depend on scholarship
or surroundings, but on the companion
ship of his fellows and the unconven
tionally of his home life." (For sale by

There is a seductive charm about the
famous Bohemia of Paris the Latin quar
terwhich most persons know only by
reputation. "Wherein this charm consists
is but vaguely understood. The casual
visitor, who has wandered through the
Quartler, or who, perhaps, has been so
fortunate as to be taken through it by
one who knows it, cannot tell of Its fas
cinations. He cannot portray its life, or
Interpret Its spirit. He cannot give any
of the real atmosphere of the place, or
the true Inwardness of its throbbing, sad-and-gay
existence. He has seen very lit
tle of It himself, and has understood less.
It would be even more impossible for a
native, or one who has spent all his lite
there, to give one the kind' of a picture
which would appeal to one's appreciation.

day affair, and if he attempted to de
scribe it he would try to pick out the
things that seemed to him unusual, rath
er than the multiplicity of things that go
toward making up the real, perpetual
charm of life in the Latin quarter. Mr.
Smith has put the seeing and hearing ana

real Latin quarter Into his book. "When

In the Fairyland of America; A Tale of the
Pukwudjles. By Herbert Quick; with 43 Il
lustrations by E. W. Doming. New York: F.
A. Stokes Company. ?1 30 net.
A host of quaint and charming little
people move swiftly through the pages
of Mr. Quick's book, flecked with the
shifting light and shade of the mingled
mystery and familiarity, which children
so love, the delicious perils of their ad
ventures unspoiled with the terror which
grips so hard at the hearts of some
children even In Hawthorne's Wonder
Book, with no obtrusive morals growling
out of corners, and yet with a most
wholesome sweetness and purity pervad
ing the whole. To recite the deeds of
the doughty Wildcat (whose eloquence
at the council Are was so persuasive that
It actually made things ha'ppen while he
told of them), of the Medicine Man and
his dusky compeers, the voyage of the
Cheemaun, loveliest of dream ships and
the rest would be not to review, but to
re-write the book, lor there is no say
ing where to stop. The humor is racy,
simple and unstrained, often of the kind
that makes us wonder why we hadn't
thought of It first ourselves, touched
freely with grotesquerle, but everywhere
redeemed from excess by the really po
etic feeling for the beauty of all out of
doors which underlies the book. Inci
dents crowd thick, and the element of
surprise is never wanting. It Is but a
step from the graceful myth of the wind
cloud and her storm guardians to the
comical frogs, tied fast In the parlia
mentary rules, or the war-song of the
leucocytes for Mr. Quick has not
scrupled to dive into the sacred realms
of science and has fetched out a gleeful
little fable from the troubled waters of
the germ theory, which, as he makes ap
pear plainly, must have been "made in
Germany." The book fulfils the ex
treme test of children's books In that It
charms the children and their parents
alike, and many a little one who is lucky
enough to be Introduced to its fascinating
pages will treasure the memory of Drift
ing Goose and the Wildcat and their com
panions, along with Humpty Dumpty and
the White Knight, and the rest of the
Immortal -company that led the gentle
Alice "along the wavering vista of her
dream." Mr. Kemble's Illustrations well
bring out the characters.

Canning- Tunny.
Nineteenth Century.
When the last of the catch has been
hauled in and none escape, a short chant
Is sung to the blessed Virgin, and the long
line of laden barges sets out toward the
shore, where a hard day's work awaits the
men employed. The destination is a huge
factory filled with every possible appliance
for dealing with the catch, however great.
Here the fish are dragged up an inclined
plane, laid In lines, and their heads cut
off by a headsman with a long axe, who
performs the operation in two strokes; the
intestines are removed, and the roe and
milt carried off in wooden troughs and
placed in brine. The ftsh Is then hung up
by the tall for about eight hours, after
which it Is cut up and bolJed In copper
vats, and then the pieces are carefully
placed In. tins, fitted in like a child's puzzle;
the tins are filled with oil, and soldered
down. Every part of the lunny Is used
and has Its particular name. There are
four different qualities preserved In oil,
"tarantello" and "sorra," the fattest part
of the breast; "tonno," the back and tall
end, and "molllche," small parts of ail
qualities mixed together. The "splnella
blanca" (loins), "codacchlo" (tall), "bus
enaglla" (black flesh) and "occhl" (eyes)
are each salted separately in barrels. The
heads are boiled for oil, and the bones and
ashes are sold as manure, a use being
thus found for every portion of the un
fortunate creature's anatomy. A good
tunny fishery is a valuable possession,
the heavy Ash of Favlgnana being worth
on an average 4 net, and 10.000 to 12,000
In the season is by no means an unprece
dented catch. The largest individual
caught this year weighed 1300 pounds. One
of the most striking features Is the great
number of men employed at the factory,
and the discipline and rapidity with which
they work. There was at Favlgnana the
usual convict establishment, and the con
victs are employed in the packing of the
pieces of tunny Into the tins, which are
also all made on the spot Italy, and
especially Genoa, Is the great customer
for the finished article, which Is protected
by high duties from the competition of
the Sardinian and- Spanish fisheries.
LIFE OF TOMMY ATKIISS 1
HOW THE BRITISH SOLDIER CLIMBS
FROM RANJC TO RANK.
A Slow and Harnrdoua Process Xev-
er Attains the Highest
Grade.
The man who starts at the bottom rung
of the Army ladder with the Intention of
climbing to the top has In front of hlra a
long journey, says the South African
Magazine. Indeed, so long is it that up
till now no soldier has accomplished It In
Its entirety. In other words, no Briton,
living or dead, has been endowed with
sufficient vim. grit a.nd luck to start as
a private and end a Field Marshal. . .
The first step which the budding Major
General takes when emerging from his
original status of full private is to Lance
Corporal. The life of a Lance Corporal
Is not a happy one. Indeed, so little rest
does he get that he is popularly supposed
to sleep with one eye open. He Is at
every one's beck and call; his duties are
novel and trying; and, worst of all, his
late comrades keep a keen eye on his
movements, and are not slow to remind
him of any lapses. In some corps 95
per cent of all Lance Corporals appoint
ed revert sooner or later to the rank
of private. Those who survive the ordeal
are in due course promoted to Corporal,
wear two white cotton stripes on the
arm Instead of one, and receive a higher
rate of pay. A Corporal Is regarded as
fairly on the road to regimental success,
and the duties that fall to his lot are
neither so wearisome nor multifarious as
formerly.
Lance Sergeant.
The next step that to Lance Sergeant
Is, like the first, an "appointment," not
a promotion. This is distinction with a
difference. A commanding ofllcer can
order a Lance Corporal to revert to pri
vate, and he forthwith reverts. So, also,
he can In the same way deprive a Lance
Sergeant of his lance stripe, and bid
him revert to Corporal, but he cannot
degrade a Corporal or a Sergeant, for I
these are promotions to actual ranks, and
once conferred can only be taken away I
by sentence of court-martial. After !
serving his probation as Lance Sergeant
for a period varying between two or three
months and a couple of years, the rising
young "non-com." finds himself one day j
"in orders" for his gold stripes, which Is
to say, he is promoted full Sergeant. He
Is now an Important unit in that great
family, the regiment, and takes a more or
less prominent part in the social life
that centers round the Sergeants' mess.
It Is. however, conceded on nil hands that
tho man who marries while yet a mere
"non-com." forfeits all future hope of a
combatant commission, so our typical
ranker resists the blandishments of the
fair daughters of' the regiment, sticks
tight to his bachelor quarters, and in due
course becomes Color Sergeant.
A Serffcnnt-Mnjor.
From among the eight Color Sergeants
of a battalion is selected as a general
rule the regimental Sergeant-Major, the
chief non-commissioned officer of a corps,
and the man who. in conjunction with the
Adjutant, is mainly responsible for the
maintenance of that strict internal disci
pline without which a regiment Is worse
than useless aa a fighting machine. In
his own realm tho Sergeant-Major Is ab-v
solute. The next step, that from Ser-geant-MaJor
to Second Lieutenant, is the
most Important of all, for It Is here that
the soldier passes that mysterious barrier
which separates the non-commissioned
from the commissioned ranks. To many,
too, it is a terrible trial, for It is the
custom nowadays to gazette the newly
fledged ofllcer to some regiment other
than his own. As Major most rankers
finish service; but a few, a very fow,
add a star to the crown upon their shoul
der straps, and become Lieutenant-Colonels;
fewer still become full Colonels,
while those who have actually served as
Major-Generals can be counted on the An
gers of one hand.
SalarlcN of the Service.
One word In conclusion as to the pay of
the higher commissioned ranks of the
service. The figures given are approxi
mately correct, but there are numerous
extra payments or "allowances," as they
are termed in army parlance which oc
casionally more than double the nominal
dally rate. Thus, In time of peace, a
Colonel may be drawing forage, allow
ance, fuel and light allowance, lodging
allowance, the allowance In lieu of ra
tions, etc, while in time of war many
more similar "extras" are tacked on.

IS THERE A CONSPIRACY?
President and Secretary Gage Iarnore
ExcesNivc Tariff Taxation.
New York Times.
Why does the Secretary of the Treas
ury accord to the subject of the exces
sive Federal taxes such gingerly and In
adequate treatment? There Is before him
no other Treasury problem so grave or
so urgent. Tho Federal laws will take
from tho people in the current fiscal year
$100,000,000 more than is required for the
expenditures of the Government. The
people are paying In taxes out of their
pockets this vast sum in excess of what
the Treasury needs. The triple eil of an
excessive surplus- is perfectly well known
to all students of fiscal policy. The
money is needlessly taken from the tax
payers who could make profitable use of
it in their own business; It Is withdrawn
from the country's stock of circulating
medium, necessitating roundabout awk
ward measures for getting some part of
it out of tho Treasury; and the knowledge
that there Is a great surplus to be
drawn upon Is the greatest possible In
centive to Congressional extravagance and
a direct lnvltutlon to jobbery, like that
which made the Hanna-Payne ship sub
sidy bill notorious.
Secretary Gage has very little to say
about the surplus revenues and nothing
that wfll impress Congress as an illumin
ation of the subject He expresses the
opinion that "It would be within con
servative limits to reduce revenue to the
extent i t.oOO.000" ; and he dismisses
the matter with the feeble recommenda
tion of "the repeal of all the miscella
neous taxes known, as war taxes," which
are estimated to produce $27,500,000 an
nually. '
These are Internal revenue taxes. From
what revenues Is the remaining $22,500,
000 to be remitted? From the postal re
ceipts? From customs duties? The Sec
retary Ik silent. It must be from one or
the other, unless a part Is to be taken
from each, for there are no other sources
of Federal revenue sufficiently produc
tive to be considered. Was the Secretary
of the Treasury 'afraid to say In plain
words that the tariff taxes ought to be
reduced? Is there a conspiracy between
the Administration and the recognized
leaders of the Republican party to keep
this subject out of the discussion of our
public affairs? The least satisfactory part
of the President's message was that In
which he dealt with reciprocity and the
tariff. The Secretary of the Treasury
simply dodges the subject altogether.
His feebleness and evasion constitute a
neglect of official duty. It could not
have been an oversight with that hun
dred millions of surplus confronting him.

A block of stock in a co-operative investment company will soon be
offered to the general public at par. The whole plan of this company is
such that the public will eagerly subscribe for this ideal security and a.
great many applications for stock will, therefore, have to be
rejected.
The next block will surely be offered at a. premium far above
par. If you will write to us at once, we will keep you posted
and will help you to come in on the ground floor.
The company in question is investing One Million Dollars
in the stocks and bonds of one hundred or more sound and
reliable companies and institutions on the following plan :
:--
250,000 DOLLARS in the purchase of stock in at least 25
carefully selected mining companies possessing properties that
are known to be of real value and merit, thus providing assets
of great speculative possibilities.
250,000 DOLLARS in the purchase of interest-bearing
bonds of at least twenty-five reliable and thoroughly sound
corporations, thus providing assets of established and per
manent value.
230,000 DOLLARS ia the purchase of stock in at least 25
different Industrial companies and corporations, selected only
after the earning capacity, dividend prospects and probable
advance in market value of their stocks have been clearly
demonstrated.
250,000 DOLLARS in the purchase of stock in reliable,
well managed realty corporations in growing cities, such in
vestments being certain to double or even treble in value.
BY THIS PLAN the investor, acquiring stock in this co-
I operative purchasing
against loss of capital, and at the same time has the assurance
of enormous profits. Carrying all of your eggs in one basket
is dangerous. This plan, it might be said, provides a basket
for each egg. If one is dropped, the damage is trifling ; yet
if only one out of a hundred or more proves "a golden egg,"
the profit is great. Truly this is in every way THE IDEAL
INVESTMENT, for it not only insures against loss, but it
guarantees profits on an unusually large scale. Address at

It must have been Intention. Either a
willful purpose to say nothing that would
bring up the subject of the outrageous
duties of the DIngley act or else a weak
and crlngllng fear of offending the pro
tected Interests and their representatives
in the Senate and the House. Mr. Gage
discusses the questions of banking and
currency with great fullness and in a
way to Instruct the Congressional mind.
He has recommendations to make which
should engage the attention of the coun
try. But when he comes to the subject ot ,
the excessive taxes he states the facte in J
a perfunctory way, suggests the time-.
dishonored protectionist expedient of cut
