Hall! Hall! the youthful dream.
And hail the sparldinc eye.

Beneath the puns -we lie.

That of the Koran tells,
Give me a little peaces
The rose that with me dwells;
She troubles not her -wit
"With any thought of grief.
Since "Paradise" Is writ
On every fragrant leaf.
0 thou -whoso lips are wet
With life's sweet morning dew,
1 pray theo not forgot
To kiss my cup of ruo;
"Which If thou dost, believe,
I'll drain the cup with 'bliss.
And teach my heart to grieve
That I may taste tho kiss.
Say. who will buy this earth?
Two barleycorns will take ltj

Bring wine; this life Is vain
Without the ring of laughter;
There is no sense In jain.

ARLO BATES' NEW NOVEL
Axnenltlca of Bon ton Social Lift Din
closed In "Love In a Cloud"
Late Publications.
The title of Arlo Bates' new story,
"Lcve in a Cloud." is that of an Imagi
nary anonymous novel, about which tho
tale Is woven. The curiosity concerning
the authorship of this imaginary novel
leads to a comedy of errors, and serves
to introduce the principal actors in the
present atory. There are enough compli
cations, caused not by love, but by
echemlng, to render the successive situa
tions interesting; there is no little so
ciety show and conversation; there is
danger of foolish marriages, but the au
thor's good sense prevents these, and
leads through a labyrinth of love and
"what Dasses for love to "their desired
haven." "We get some of the amenities
of polite society in Boston from this play
of wits between, two of the leading char
acters. Miss Wentstile examines him with critical
Impertinence through her lorgnotte.
'Are jou one of the Baltimore Fairfield T"
she asked.
"No; my family came from Connecticut."
"Indeed!" she remarked, coolly; "I do not
remember that I -ever met a person from Con
necticut before,"
Tho lips of -the young man set themselves a
little more firmly at this Impertinence, and
there came to his eyes a keen look.
"I am pleased to be tho humble means of
Increasing your experience," he said, with a
bovr,
"Thank you," oho said. "Even the animals
at tho Zoo increase one's experience. It is
always Interesting to meet those that one has
heard chattered about."
He mado her a deeper bow.
"I know," ho responded with a manner
coolly polite. "I felt It myself the first half
dozen times I had the honor to be presented to
you. but even the choicest pleasures grow stale
on too frequent repetition."
Miss Wentstile Glared at him for half n min.
ute, while ho seemed to grow pale at his own
temerity. Then a humorous smile lightened
her face, and she tappod him approvingly on
the shoulder with her gold lorgnette.

PRACTICAL AGITATTOX."
John Jay Chapman's Essay on Moral
Political Reform.
"Practical Agitation," John Jay Chap
man's new book, is an essay on practica
bility of political reform if concentrated
wholly on the moral side of the question.
The author is as caustic in criticism of
present conditions as he Is optimistic
about prospects, and he writes with an
Intensity and lnclslveness that endue the
subject with vivid interest. Mr. Chap
man follows the track of personal influ
ence across society. His theory is that we
can always do more for mankind by fol
lowing the good in a straight line than wo
can by making concessions, to eviL The
illusion that It is wise or necessary to sup
press our instinctive lovo of truth comes
from an imperfect understanding of what
that Instinctive lovo of truth represents,
and of what damage happens both to our
selves and to others when we suppress it.
The more closely we look at tho facts
the more serious does this damage appear.
And, on the gther hand, tho moro closely
we look at the facts the more trifling. In
consequent and absurd do all those rea
sons Appear which strive to make us ac
cept and thereby sanctify and preserve'
some portion of the conceded evil In tho
world. "People interrogate force," says
Mr. Chapman. "They are unconvinced
and are carried, still protesting, through
the air and deposited in a new place. And
then, thereafter, they agree with vou
about tho whole matter. Mere intellectu
al assent to your proposition is, even
when you can get It, worth nothing
Tour object is not to confute, but to
stimulate. What you really -want is- that
every man you meet shall drop his busi
ness and devote his ontire life and energy
to your cause. Tou -will accept nothing
less than this. Is it not clear that peo
ple are not moved by logic Tour con
duet must -ultimately square with reason
and be Justified by the laws of the unU
erse and the constitution of other peo
ple's mlnite; but you must value only that
approval whloh comes from the deeper
fibers in men. Tou need not be concerned
about the blokorings of contemporary mis
understanding. Leave these for the his
torical society. Act first explain after
wards. That is the -way to get heard.
Must you show your passport and certifi
cate of birth and legitimacy to every edi
tor and every lackey? They'll find out
who you are by and by. It is easier to
knock a man down than to Bay why you
do It, The act is sometimes needed, and
wisdom then approves it after the event.
People who love soft methods and hate
iniquity forget this that Teform consists
in taking a bone from a dog. Philosophy
will not do it." Such, Mr. Chapman holds
to be the practical dictates of agitation.

European Travel for Women.
"European Travel for Women," by
Mary Cadwalader Jones, is not intended
to take the place of ordinary guide-books,
but rather to supplement them by giving
information not readily to be found else
where. Tear by year an increasing num
ber of women travel in Europe alone, or
In partios which do not Include a man,
and unless they have had previous exper
ience, they are apt to encounter many
difficulties. Tho registration of luggage,
the 'system of hotel management, and the
scalo of fees or tips are only a few in
stances of the wide difference which ex
ists between the conditions of travel in
Europe and in this country. During the
past few years the writer has traveled
in England, France, Germany. Italy and
Sicily, and the present work is the result
of her personal experience in circum
stances similar to those of the persons
for whom the book is primarily intended.
Her observation has been that unless
travelers are willing to leave National
prejudices behind them, and ready to see
whatever is characteristic and excellent
in a foreign country, without flndlng
fault because it is unfamiliar, they would
better remain at home. Americans, she
says, are among the worst offenders in
this regard. An appendix Includes a
comparative table of the different ther
mometers used in Europe, a few of the
metric measures and weights, with our
equivalents for them; a number of words
which are used in a different sonse here
and in England, as well as French terms
which are often wrongly translated, and
some simple phrases in French, Italian
and German. (The Macmlllan Co.. New
Tork.)
"William Watson Andrews.
William Watson Andrews was a descend
ant in the direct line from "William An
drews, one of the settlers of New Haver
In 1638. His father was a Congregational
minister, and the son was licensed as a
minister In the same body In 1833. Some
years later, however, he Identified himself
with the religious movement known as tho
Catholic Apostolic Church, perhaps better
known to many as "Irving! tes," 1. e., fol
lowers of the teaching of Edward Irving,
and labored as an evangelist In that body
for 40 years. It was no easy thing for
Mr. Andrews to fulfill his ministry as an
evangelist. When lie testified that the
Lord Josuo Christ, the Head of the
Church, had restored the original order of
the four-fold ministry of Apostle, Prophet,
Evangelist and Pastor, is enumerated by
St. Paul in the fourth chapter of Ephe
slans; and when he declared, further, that
the gifts of the Holy Ghost had again been
manifested such gifts as prophecy and
speaking in tongues (I Cor. xiI:l-7, and
when, coupled with these, he spoke of the
nearness of the second coming of Christ,
his hearers were very often Impatiently
antagonistic. Notwithstanding his relig
ious belief. Mr. Andrews was held in af
fectionate esteem by such men as Dr.
Horace Bushnell and President Noah Por
ter, of Tale. His biography is written by
his brother, Samuel J. Andrews. The vol
ume Is not only the record of the life of a
roan whose endearing and sterling quali
ties won for him many friends in different
denominations, but Is also an interesting
account of the movement with which he
was for many years so closely identified.
(G. P. Putnam's Sons, New Tork.
Columbia and Venezuela,
William L. Scruggs, late Envoy Extraor
dinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of the
United States to Colombia and -Venezuela,
had, In ni3 official capacity exceptional
opportunities for studying those countries
and their peoples. He describes their cli
matic conditions; and many of the places
which have been considered unhealthy byi
those who are Ignorant of the facts he
finds the revonse. His experience of 25
years has led him to know exactly those
localities which are to be avoided by stran
gers. The magnificent mountain scenery
of the Magdalcna Valley and tho gorgeous
tropical scenery and luxuriant vegetable
life are described at length. The great
difficulties of transportation are dwelt
upon; and he points out tho need of bat
ter conditions, which would lead to tho
development of the resources of the coun
tries. His book, "The Colombian and Ven
ezuelan Republics," contains chapters on
the agricultural products of Venezuela, the
Guiana boundary question, tho Isthmus of
Panama, Panama Canal projects, the
rights and duties of foreign residents In
South America, the Monroe Doctrine, the
Venezuelan arbitration Award of V1S09 and
other subjects. The book should be in
valuable to a person intending to travel or
settle in South or Central America, for it
contains much practical advice upon the
best methods of dealing with the native
population jand the best parts of the coun
try In -which to settle. (Little, Brown &

Twenty Tears In Europe.
"Twenty Tears in Europe," by S. H.
M. Byers, is a profusely illustrated vol
ume of personal reminiscences and anec
dotes of the scores of distinguished
Americans and Europeans. Generals,
Princes, statesmen, artists and others
with whom Mr. Byers was thrown in con
tact during a residence of 20 years abroad.
He had served with General Shorman
during the Civil War, and an intimate
friendship had resulted. In this volume
Mr. Byers not only gives many charming
pictures of the General and his family,
but reproduces more than 20 unpublished
letters written by Sherman. The illus
trations Include numerous portraits and
photographs, as well as many original
autograph drawings, by well-known art
ists, now published for the first time.

The Banker and the Bear.
"The Banker and the Bear," a story
of a corner in lard, is the title of a noVel
by Henry K. Webster. Although Chi
cago is not mentioned in the book as the
scene of action, the Chamber of Com
merce of that city is the point round
which the action, centers. ThevBear and
the Banker are chums. The Bull is
financed by the Banker In the endeavor
to run tho Corner in lard, and the story
derives its title from the necessity found
by tho Bear for the ruin of his chum,
the Banker, In order to upset the finan
cial schemes of tho Bull. A stirring love
story threads its way through the flnan
clal excitement of the book. Those who
have read "The Short Lino War" will
remember Mr. Webster's skill in plots.
Though a very young man, he has olov
crly seen and seized upon tho possibili
ties of romance which lie In the hazard
ous financial And commercial struggles
of somo Western millionaires. (Tho Mac
mlllan Co., New Tork.)
Bird Homes.
So much has been, said and written of
the destruction of live birds that sports
men are shooting moro and moro with
the camera instead of the gun. Perhaps
the most skillful amateur worker in this
field Is A. R. Dugmore, who has written
and Illustrated a book on "Bird Homes.'
With Infinite pains, extending over years,
Mr. Dugmore has succeeded in taking
camera pictures of live birds, their nests,
and their young-in characteristic poses.
He gives caroful directions how other
amateurs can photograph birds, how the
collecting of eggs can be accomplished,
without ruthlessness, with real benefit,
how to identify nests and eggs and study
the birds through them, how young birds
can be brought up and tamed and, in
deed, has written a new bird book on
new lines. It Is elaborately illustrated
with colored plates and black and whlto
photographs. (Doubleday & McClure Co.,

Hemp.
Few plants adapt themselves as readily
to cultivation and In as varying climates
as does hemp. S. S. Boyce has given
many years to the study, and a close and
careful Investigation of the hemp plant
and Its adaptability to cultivation In tho
soils and climatic conditions of the United
States, and also to the manipulation of
the plant for obtaining a fiber best adapt
ed to fine spinning and weaving. He
speaks from personal knoweuge when he
says In "Hemp" that of all fiber-bearing
plants, hemp Is most universally adapted
to the production of fine, soft, silky fibers
and the establishment of a most import
ant Industry for the American people
Fuji details of everything connected with
the hemp plant are given In separate
chapters, devoted to Its culture for flbor
and for seed. Irrigation, harvesting, ret
ting, machinery, etc (Orange, Judd Co.,

"Ellsin."
In "Ellssa, or the Doom of Zimbabwe,"
H. Rider Haggard takes his readers to the
Phoenician city. In South Central Africa,
the mysterious ruins of which have been
tho subject of so much speculation and
research. How It happened that a trading
town, protected by vast fortifications, and
adorned with many temples dedicated to
the gods of the Sfdonians, was built by
civilized men in the heart of Africa, may
not be accurately known, but there .'a am
ple room for speculation as to the life of
the ancient city, and In this romance Mr.
Haggard has tried to picture incidents
such as might have accompanied the first
extinction of Zimbabwe. The volume also
contains "Black Heart and White Heart,"
a story of recent times in Zululand. (Long
