IN THE WORLD OF BOOKS
TIMELY VOLUME ON A COUNTRY WHERE STRIKES
ARE UNKNOWN sr NEW ZEALAND'S LAW
It is interesting at this time to read' of a
land where they have no strikes.
In New Zealand, at the antipodes, this
pleasing condition of affairs exists, if
Henry Demarest LJoyd Is to be believed.
He has been there to study Industrial
conditions, and he ought to. know.
From a first glance at the title of his
book. "A Country Without Strikes" (Mc
Clure's). the average citizens thinks It a
tale of Utopia or Plato's republic, or the
New Atlantis, delightful places, all of
them, but, unfortunately, -mere' air-drawn
. fancies of the brain. On turning the pages
these misty impressions fade away in the
light of his clear.hard-headed and emi
nently convincing narrative of surprising
conditions.
They are a clever lot of people in New
Zealand. That enterprising English stock
which found home too tlow and came to
America to spread out and build up these
United States has been at work just as
energetically at the other end of the earth,
though few of ua realize It. The Austral
ians can teach us some things that we
might be the better for knowing, and the
New Zealandcr3 are a little ahead of the
Australians, notably in the matter of their
industrial lawa.
The legislators of that island do not
stand on precedent- When a thing needs
doing they look Into the situation as care
fully as the conditions allow, and then they
go ahead and do it. The awful circum
stance that it was never done before has
noi the paralyzing effect on these bold
antipodeans that it appears to have on the
Leririator in older lands. William Pem
bef Reeves, Minister of Labor, when he
ha4 a great strike of workmen In the shlp
plns Intercuts on Ills hands, and a threat
ened strike of railway employes looming
up beiore him. didn't meet the situation
with talk. He consulted all the authorities
an! precedents that he thought would help
him, and when these failed in suggestive
ness he went ahead and forced a compul
sory arbitration law through the Parlia
ment. Here, according to Mr. Lloyd, is
how the plan works:
"The moment either side with a griev
ance or any apprehension of a strike or
lockout summons the other before the
board or court It becomes a punishable
offense for the workmen to stop wdrk or
the employer to cl05e down. Both must
keep on until the board or court "has come
to a final decision.
"The law goes beyond this prohibition
of strikes or lockouts while disputes are
pending before the court. There must be
no strike or lockout beforehand to fore
stall such intervention. The act guards
against the probability that workmen
might be discharged or the employer be
left by his men because one side has
learned that the other Is about to demand
conciliation or arbitration. In such cases,
If there has been any tuch discharge or
lockout to evade an arbitration, the ag
grieved party may at any time within six
weeks after the strike or lockout appeal
to the court and get full consideration and
redress, and the court can stop the strike
which it was denied the opportunity to pre
vent. "The necessity for this was shown In a
case which arose In South Australia,
where certain worklngmen resolved to try
arbitration, but the employer, getting wind
of what was coming, promptly discharged
all his hands.. He then said to the court
that it had no jurisdiction because there
was no dispute between him and his men.
meaning the men he had taken on after
wards. " It is quite true,' he said, 'that I have
had a dispute with certain men. but they
are no longer my employes.' This New
Zealand law gives the state power. If in
voked, to step In and stop strikes or lock
outs, even though they have broken out."
It is not claimed that the law is perfect,
but it is declared a success so far and
likely to be more so. It must be evident
to anyone that at the last the success de
pends really on the Judge, who sits as ar
bitrator in the final court. Fortunately,
although these Judges usually come from
the liighest social stratum, they have been
unprejudiced and have greatly ameliorated
the condition of the worklngmen. It 13
claimed that In 1900 New Zealand was the
most prosperous country on the globe, and
that It was due In considerable measure
to the law In question. What would hap
pen In times of financial distress maybe
Imagined, and it is for this season that
the book, however interesting. Is incon
clusive as a real demonstration of the abll
ityof the law to settle disputes under all
circumstances. Tho author frankly admit
this, and has essayed to do no more than
give a lucid account of the workings of
the law after a most painstaking Investi
gation on the ground. He also admits that
it is not necessarily to be argued that
what Is a success In the new and thinly
settled New Zealand, where nearly all the
population are Britons.- would be of" the
same degree in older and more populous
countries. The administration of the law
is swift and cheap and lawyers are only
admitted in difficult cases, the court using
experts on both sides rather than exposit
ors of the law. It Is an Interesting book,
which will be read with great Interest at
this time.
Jonqnln Miller's Complete Poetical
Works.
Admirers of the "Poet of the Sierras"
will welcome a revised edition of his
complete poetical works. Issued this week
by the Whlteaker & Ray Company, San
Francisco, in most attractive typographic
al form. In Ita 227 pages will be found all
of his poetry that Miller thinks is worth
preserving. This includes, of course, all
his notable work, which at this late day
need? no review.
In his preface the poet Indulges in a.
"heart-to-heart talk with his readers,
saying: "Born a 'rover and a lover, I
have wandered farther, perhaps, than
any man living, for my poetry opened
all doors and made traveling a delight.
Then I was paid Immensely for my prose.
But If I had dependedk on my poetry, I
should have stayed home and half
starved. Take care!
"I traveled so much all my life till late
years that I had hastily to feed my corn
out. weed and flower, green or ripe
com. from the four quarters of the
world, as I ran. Hence the need of this
revision. And yet, even now, after all
my cutting and care. I am far from satis
fied, and can commend to my lovers only
the last few poems in the book. True,
the earlier ones have color and clime, and
preference of wood or waste, and I am
not ungrateful for the friends they
brought me, but I fear I fall short of the
large eternal lesson which the seer is
born to teach the vision of worlds be
yond. I have, tried to mend this fault In
my later work: to give my new poems not
only body, but soul."
Miller devotes two Interesting pages to
bis life in Oregon, and tells of his first
work that went into a printed page, the
valedictory class poem, Columbia Col
lege. Eugene, the germ of the present
University of Oregon. He closes his mes
sage thus:
Let me again Invoke you. be loyal to your
craft; not only to your craft, but to your fel
low scribes. To let envy lure you to leer at
even the humblest of them Is to admit yourself
beaten; to admit yourself to be one of the
thourand failures betraying the one success.
Braver It were to knife In the back a holy man
at p;ayer. I plead for something more than
the Individual here. I plead for the entire,
Republic. Not to have a glorious literature of
our own Is to be another Nineveh, Babylon,
Turkey. Nothing1 ever has paid, nothing ever'
will pay. a nation like poetry. How many
millions have we paid, are still paying, bleak
and rocky Scotland to behold the land of
Burns? Byron led the world to scatter Its gold
through the ruins of Italy, where he mused
and ang. and Italy was rebuilt. Greece sur
vived a thousand years on the-melodies of her'
mighty dead.
Finally, use the briefest little bits of baby
words at han'd. Write this down in red. and
remember.
Shall we ever have an American literature?
l'et, when wc leave sound and words to the
winds. American science has swept time and
space aside. American science dashes along at
50. CO miles an hour, but American literature
still lumbers along in the old-fashioned Eng
lish stage-coach at 10 miles an hour; and
sometimes with a red-coated outrider blowing
the horn. Wc must leave all this behind us.
We have not time for words. A man who
uses a 'great, big. sounding word, when a short
one will do, is to that extent a robber of time.
A Jewel that depends, greatly on Its setting is
not a great Jewel.. When,the Messiah of Amer
ican literature comes, he will come singing,
so far as may be,-In words of one syllable.
Which Indicates that Joaquin Miller,
after all. Is the same childlike, manly
Joaquin of old.
"A Qnfver of Arrows."
Under this title more than three-score
rermons.by David James Burrell, D. B.,
LL. D., have been published by the Funk
& Wagnalls Company- They were select
ed and epitomized by Thomas Douglas,
Ph. D. a whole library of sermons com
pressed Into one volume. Seventy pulpit
discourses delivered during the last few
vears. by the pastor of the Marble Col
legiate Church, of New York City, have
been reduced by a discriminating editor,
each to the compass of a 10 or 15 minutes'
address. The gist of each sermonlc illus
tration has een presented with at least
one main "moral" and suggestions of
minor- apDlications. The terse, direct
style of the original discourses has been
heightened, yet not .to the point of ob
scurity or Inelegance, by. judicious elimi
nation of all save essential words and
phrases. In short, we have in the present
book the principle of the "digest" applied
to sermonic discourse. The work is thus
rendered of the highest value to those
who are In search of homiletic models,
and yet desire to be left free to construct
their sermons In their own rhetorical style
and with original application of principles.
If the example of this digest should be
followed, bookshelves would groan less
under many-volumed and dust-laden col
lections of discourses, while the desk and
center-table wpuld be occupied by handy
works of use and Inspiration in ' the- re
ligious life.
"Value as a work of reference is given
to the book by a topical index, wherein
every subject treated is entered under
the threefold division of theme, propo
sition and illustration. Here is a quo
tation from a sermon on the literary value
of the Bible:
Where wilt you And such poetry? Milton
said. "There are no sonss like the songs ot
Zlon."
Or such oratory? Daniel Webster said. "If
there Is aught of eloquence In me, it Is because
I learned the Scriptures at njy .mother's knee."
Or such lode? Lord Bacon said, "There Is
no philosophy like that of the Scriptures."
Or unity and completeness of beauty and
power? Froude says. "The Elble Is in and of
itself a liberal education."'
Or what book, or books can compare with It?
Sir Walter Scott said, "Bring me the book."
"What book?" "There is but one book the
Bible."
"Swords and Plowshares."
About two years ago Ernest Crosby pub
lished a book of radical verse entitled
"Plain Talk In Psalm and Parable,"
which was highly praised for Its boldness,
originality, and vitality by such competent
Judges of these qualities as Tolstoi, BJorn
son, Markham and ZangwJU.
His second volume of poetry, and the
third book which he has published (the
nnti-mllltary novel. '.'Captain Jinks,
Hero," intervening), is composed of verse
written since anti-Imperialism became an
issue in American politics, and since Mr.
Crosby retired to his farm to live the
"natural life" to which his social philos
ophy and his love of the country had long
Inclined him. Accordingly, as finely Indi
cated by the title,' the poems' selected bear
upon two contrasting themes hatred of
war and oppression, and delight In scenes
of perce and Industry. Unity of theme
and concentration of purpose, therefore,
mark the book as a work of art In- the
broadest and highest sense, and, as such,
it is destined, to be memorable in the an
nals of American literature.
Mr. Crosby's verse-forms are as oppo
site in character as his themes. He em
ploys ,the. strong, free, "verse-paragraph"
of Whitman, tor plain, direct description,
as did its Inventor, and for bold Indict
ment of social "wrong, as .does Edward
Carpenter, the radical poet of England.
This verse-form is relieved by shorter
poems In the simple lyric measures hal
lowed by the use of all our nature-loving
poets from Chaucer to Whltticr. If the
combination of strong and direct thought
with simple and pure expression Is the
essential requisite to a phrase's immor
tality, there are passages in "Swords and
Plowshares" which the world will not al
low to die. (Funk & Wagnalls Company,
New York.)
"Every Day In tlie Yeqr."
A book that Is attracting wide attention
among sch.ool teachers, parents of school
children and students of history and
poetry, and is certain to hang from the
boughs of thousands of Christmas trees
this season is "Every Day in the Year,"
the new collection of poetry, which is
aptly styled "A poetical epitome of the
world's history-" This volume, edited
by James L. and Mary K. Ford, consists
of nearly S00 poems, commemorative of
the most striking events in the history of
the world, and arranged according to the
days of the calendar
Apart from Its value as a treasure-house
of poetry blended with history, it is a book
or rare fascination because of the many
forgotten annlvcisarles which it recalls
to mind.
For example, December 14 I3 the anni
versary of the death of George Washing
ton In 1719; of that of the Prince Consort
of Victoria in 1S51; of that of his daugh
ter, the Princess Alice, just 17 years later,
and of that of Professor Agasslz, In 1873.
Dr. Samuel Johnson died 118 years ago, on
December 13, 'which Is also St. Lucy's
day. and the anniversary of the battle
of Fredericksburg, fought in 1S62. The
day before was the 13th anlversary of the
death of Robert Browning, and the 15th
will be the 62d of the final Interment of
the great Napoleon under the dome of the
Invalldes.
All these events are fittingly celebrated
by one or more poems in the pages of
"Even' Day in the Year.' a book of such
variety that no after-dinner speaker need
be at a loss for a subject, no matter when
he may be called upon to speak.

Timely Book on Kng MaUIngr.
"How to Make Rugs," by Candace
Wheeler, Is more than Its name Implies,
for It is not only a treatise on rug mak
ing, but an essay in economics. Thought
ful people are1 asking themselves why In
America there are no well-established and
prosperous domestic manufactures. The
author of this books shows how the farm
er's wife may make her spare time profit
able, and goes on to explain at length, and
by the aid of useful and simple diagrams,
how rugs of various kinds are made. The
author, believes, and gives reasons for the
belief, that hand-made, home-made rugs
can compete successfully with the machine-made
article. The book should
prove useful to many people. (New York:

A Great Missionary.
Raymund Lull. First Missionary to the Mos
lems. By Samuel M. Zwemer, D. D.. F. R.
G. S. Funk & Wagnalls Company, New
York. T
Raymund Lull was, of all great men of
the Middle Ages, the most versatile in
character and strenuous in endeavor. His
achievements In any single line of activity
would of themselves make a considerable
volume. He was poet, novelist, scientisf,
philosopher, theologian, evangelist in
Christian lands, and missionary to the
heathen. One of Lull's biographers states
that " the works of .ull numbered 4000.
Many of these have been lost. Of his
writings In Latin, Catalonlan and Arabic,
it is said that 1C00 were extant in the 15th
century. Fewer than 50 are extant today
Irj, printed form, though many unpublished
manuscripts are to be found scattered
through the libraries of Europe. The
present biography contains a bibliography
of 321 titles of Lull's books, and 21 titles,
of books about Lull.
It Is chiefly of Lull's work as a mission
ary that Dt. Zwemer writes, and most
appropriately As Robert E. Speer says
in his introduction to the present book:
"It would be difficult to find another so
competent as Dr. Zwemer to write a life
of the first great missionary to the Mo
hammedans. For 12 years he has been
working with his associates of the Ara
bian mission of the Reformed Church on
the eastern coast of the Arabian peninsula
and in the Turkish region northwest of
the Persian Gulf. To an almost perfect
command of Arabic, an accurate knowl
edge of the Koran, untiring zeal and in
Oomltable courage, he has added an ab
sorbing love for the 3Iohammend3ns, and
a desire to make known to them In truth
that Savior whom in their belief their
prophet annuls and supersedes."
Like the great man of whom he writes,
Dr. Zwemer has found time, amid his
arduous missionary labors, to produce
valuaole historical and geographical
books. His "Arabia, the Cradle of Islam."
is the standard authority on that country.
As there was propagandist purpose in
Dr. Zwcmcr's historical work, so is there
in the present biography. He says in his
preface: "Since the 20th century Is to be
pre-eminently a century of missions to
Moslems, we should rescue the memory of
the pioneer from oblivion. His philosoph
ical speculations and his many books have
vanished away, for he knew only In part.
But his self-sacrificing love never fallcth
and its 'memory cannot perish. His biog
raphy emphasizes his own motto: 'He
who lives by the Life cannot die.' It Is
this part of Lull's life that has a message
for us today, and calls us to win back the
Mohammedan world to Christ."
Prlxe of ?0000 Offered for a Book.
The faculty of Lake Forest (111.) Uni
versity offer a prize of ?C0O? .for the best
book or treatise "on the connection; rela
tion and mutual bearing of any practical
science, or the history of any race, or the
facts in any department of knowledge,
with and upon the Christian religion."
In 1S97 the late William Bross, of Chi
cago, Lieutenant - Governor of Illinois,
1S66-79" as a memorial to hl3 son, Na
thaniel, who had died in 154, transferred
to the Lake Forest University a large
sum of money, to be put out at interest,
the income for one decade to be spent in
the followlrg decade for the purpose out
lined above. In his deed of gift the
founder had in view "the religion of the
Bible composed of the Old and Now Tes
taments of our Lord and Savior Jesus
Christ, as commonly received In the Pres
byterian and other evangelical churches."
His object was "to call out the best ef
forts of the highest talent and the ripest
scholarship of the world, to illustrate
from, scknee or any department of knowl
edge, and to demonstrate the divine or
igin and the authority of the Christian
Scriptures: and, further, to show how
both science and revelation coincide, and
to prove the existence, the providence,
or any or all of the attributes of the only
living and true God, Infinite, eternal and
unchangeable in his being, wisdom, power,
holiness, justice, goodness and truth."
The scope'of the deed of gift is thus so
comprehensive that any phase of Christian
truth, or of human history,; or of modern
life, that may throw light upon the Chris
tian faith as it is received, by the great
body of Christian believers, would be a
fitting theme for any book offered In the
competition announced. 1
Authors must present their work type
written in triplicate on or before June 1,
1905. There is no special limit to the
length of the book. The offer is open
to scientific men. Christian philosophers
and historians of all nations.
Bright Little Poems.
A good holiday book for the young is
"Bright Little Poems for Bright Little
People," by Catherine Wheeler. (The
Whlteaker & Ray Company, San Fran
cisco.) The author understands children
and how to entertain them with rhyme
all of it helpful and abounding in cheer.
On the title page she says:
Dear little comrades, I am but a child;
But let me you, my younger playmates,
teach.
(That I may with simplicity the while
List to the precious gospel that you preach.
And In this spirit all the verses are
written the voices of natural, healthy
children singing untrammeled.
Scribner's Ilngazlne.
The Christmas number of Scribner's
Magazine has been always made notable
by the richness and beauty of its pictures,
and the fine quality of the sentiment and
exquisite workmanship of Its stories. The
issue of this December number sustains
and adds to that reputation. It contains
eight short stories, most of them Illus
trated, and special articles and poems,
among them a beautiful unpublished poem
by Robert Louis Stevenson, written in
1S72, when he was a young man. The
poem shows the charm of Stevenson's
style at the very outset of his career. The
color-printing (In which Scribner's led tho
way years before it appeared in any othe?
magazines) is especially beautiful In this
number. The cover by Frank "V. Du Mond
is in gold and nine colors, a charming,
bright design typical of the holiday sea
son. The most delicate piece of color
printing yet attempted by this magazine
is found In the illustrations by Jessie Wlll
cox Smith.
ENTERTAIN Y. M. C. A. CROWD
Clara Lonise Thompson Gives Illus
trated Monologue.
Clara Louise Thompson, the elocution
ist, gave an illustrated monologue en
titled "The Chinook" in the auditorium
of the Y. M. C. A. last night, the per
formance being a number on the star
course of the association. The play was
illustrated with stereoptlcon pictures,
while the reader took the parts of the 16
characters. The drama, which is by a
Seattle writer, deals with life in Colo
rado and the East. The Chinook is a
sunny Individual who is brought from his
Western mine to aid In straightening up
his father's finances, Injured by the mis
deeds of an elder brother. The girl he
loves is also 4n trouble, and just as his
father's creditors refuse his interest In
the mine for his father's debts, a tele
gram arrives offering a- huge sum for the
property. All is settled satisfactorily to
every one concerned, especially the Chin
ook, and the girl, who become engaged
at the close. The monologue attracted a
good crowd, and both the reader and the
pictures were entertaining.
Merit wins, and this Is the reason for the
unequaled popularity of Hood's Sarsapa-rllla.
COULD NOT SET (i!S LEG
CASE OF SON OFhBNRY ROTH
PUZZLED PHYSICIANS.
Finally Discovered 'Cause of Trouble
by Meann of the X-Itay-Boy
Now Recovering.
Through the medium of the X-ray the
fractured, Jeg of the 12-year-old son of
Henry Roth, of Columbia Slough, was
finally put In position after repeated at
tempts made during the past few weeks
had failed, . and after two surgeons had
exhausted their efforts to set the limb.
The case was very unusual and interest
ing. A horse fell on the boy's leg, fractur
ing the large bone in two places and the
smaller one in one place. A physician-was
called and apparently reduced the frac
ture, but he was surprised when he went
to visit the boy again to find the leg in
bad condition, the two broken ends hav
ing slipped. He reset the bone, leaving'
it "all right, and the next time he went
out he was accompanied by another physi
cian. The bones were again found dis
united as in the first instance. The physi
cians then decided to have the boy re
moved to the Good Samaritan hospital.
Several physicians were present when
the leg was operated on. It was reset
and all the physicians present were cer
tain it was all right and would certainly
heal, but the X-ray was then applied,
when It was clearly seen that there was
some foreign body between the two ends
of the bones. It could be seen very
plainly by means of the X-ray. An In
cision was made and a small, ragged
piece of bone removed. It had caused all
the trouble. After its removal the ends
of the bones were wired together, and the
patient Is now getting along in a satis
factory manner.
When the horse fell on the boy the
piece of bone, afterwards found, was
broken and slipped between the ends of
the bones, wncre it effectually (prevented
healing.
AUTOMATIC CHINAMAN.
Machine Invented. That Will Clean
More Salmon Than Seven Men.
"Improvements and new Ideas are Intro-,
duced into tlie salmon canning business
every season," said A. E. Wadhams, a
canneryman, from Blaine, who Is regis
tered at the Portland. "The last, ma
chine which wc hive put on trial Is called
tile automatic Chinaman. This, of course,
is not the name under which the patent
was obtained, but Is derived from the
character of the work the machine will
do.
"It Is claimed by the Inventor, and wc
have partially proved the statement, thdt
one machine will clean as many salmon
as seven Mongolians. The fish are fed
Into the mechanism head first, and by
an Ingenious system of knives their heads
are cut off and their bodies split open.
A stream of water operated under a high
pressure cleans the fish as they pa.s
through the various parts of the appa
ratus, and a set of revolving brushes
completes this portion of the work. There
is practically no limit to the quantity of
fish that such a machine will clean in
one day, and while Its operation was not
perfect In the past season, ""still the de
fects were minor one's and will all be rem
edied by next Summer. In fact it Is prob-.
able that by the time the salmon com
mence running again a machine will be
invented that will perform every part of
the butchering and cleanslfur. work which
is now done by the tihlnamen. Under
these circumstances a salmon will not.be
touched by hand after it Is once started
down, the chute to. the first machine."

Mrs. F. Wright, of Oeiwein,
Iowa, is another one of the
million women who have been
restored to health by Lydia E.
Pinkfrn's Vegetable Compound.
A Younpr New York Lady Tells
of a Wonderful Cure :
" My trouble was with the ovaries ;
I am tall, and the doctor said I grew
too fast for my strength. I suffered
dreadfully from inflammation .and
doctored continually, but got no help.
I suffered from terrible dragging sen.
sations with the most awful pains low
down in the side and'' pains in the back,
and the most agonizing headaches.
No one knows what I endured. Often
I was sick to the stomach, and every
little while I would be too Bick to go
to work, for three or four days ; I work
in a large store, and I suppose stand-,
irig on my feet all day made me worse.
"At the suggestion of a friend of
my mothers I began- to take Iiydla
E. Pinkliam's Vegetable Com
pound, and it is simply wonderful.
.1 felt better after the first two or three
doses.; it seemed as though a weight
was taken off my shoulders ; I con
tinued its use until now I can truth
fully say I am entirely cured. Young
girls who are always paying doctor's
bills without getting any help as I did,
ought to take your medicine; It
costs so much less, and it is, sure to
care them. Yours truly, Adelaide
R3Aiil. r?4 St. Ann's Ave"., New York
