"The Bontoc Igorot," a review on a tribe
residing: In Northern Luzon, Philippine Is
lands, and from the pon of Albert Ernest
Jenka. has been received. The book, of 20U
pases, forms volume one of the ethnological
survey publications, Department of the In
terior, Philippines, and Is an Interesting ac
count of a strange people. The Illustrations
are many, some of them startling in their
realism. Mr. Jenks says: "My Impression
of the Bontoc Igorot Is that physically he
Is a clean-limbed. woH-bullt. dark-brown
man of medium stature, with no evidence of
degeneracy. He belongs to that extonslvo
Btock of primitive people of -which the
Malay Is the most commonly named. I do
not believe he has received any of his char
acteristics, as a group, from elthor the Chi
nese or Japanese, though this theory has
frequently been presented. The Bontoc man
would be a savage If It were not that his
geographlo location compelled him fo become
an agriculturist: necessity drove him to this
art of peace. In everyday life his actions
are deliberate, but he Is not lazy. He is re
markably Industrious for a primitive man.
In his agricultural labors he has strength,
determination, and endurance. On the trail,
as" a cargador or burden-bearer for Amer
icans, he Is patient and uncomplaining, and
earns his wage In the sweat of his brow.
His social life Is lowly, and before marriage
Is most promltlve; but a man has only one
wife, to whom he Is usually faithful. The
Foclal group Is decidedly democratic; there
are no slaves. The people are neither drunk
ards, gamblers nor "sportsmen." There Is
little "color" In the life of the Igorot; he is
not very Inventive and seems to have little'
Imagination. His chief recreation certainly
Us most-enjoyed and highly-prized recrea
tion is head-hunting. But head-hunting Is
not the passion with him that It is with
many Malay peoples. His religion Is at base
the most primitive religion known animism,
or spirit belief but he has somewhere
grasped the Idea of one god, and has made
this belief in a crude way a part of his life.
Mrs. Humphry Ward -will be a welcome
visitor in the United States, where all her
books since "Robert Eismere" have had a
host of readers and one must receive with a
certain measure of respect the broad hint of
her publishers. Harper & Brothers, that she
intends to write a novel with American
background, atmosphere and characters.
Mrs. Ward's advent may be expected in De
cember. Somehow, it is fancied that Amer
ican readers of "Marcella." "Sir George
Tressady," "Lady Rose's Daughter," and
"The Marriage of William Ashe" would
scarcely regard without misgivings an at
tempt of this favorite author to depict the
brisk, varied life and the unformed society
of their own country. But Mrs. Ward hat
often proved sufficiently that she Is too
sound and able an artist to attempt what sh'
cannot accomplish. Certainly there is no nov
elist whose vision might not be beneficially
broadened, and we may be sure that Mrs.
Ward will never go to work with a medium
that she cannot skillfully handle. A touch
or two of American life (studied at first
hand) In one of her admirable pictures of
Old World society would be very effective.
Little. Brown & Co. are preparing a novel by
Miss Frances Squire, who appears on the list
of H. M. Caldwell & Co. as the author of a
book for chlldron. Her novel 1b entitled
"The Balllngtons." and draws Its promi
nent characters from two families, in one of
ivhtrh the husband holds the purse, in the
other the wife. Both of the wedded pairs
have married for love, and the changes
wrought In their relation by the conditions
under which they live form the moving
power of the tale. Among the firm's Juvenile
books will be "Men of Old Greece." by Mint
Jennie Hall; four stories, one telling of
Leonldas and the training which led to
Thermopylae; one of Marathon, Salami?,
and Themlstocles; one of tho runner sent to
Fparta for aid against the Persians, and.
lastly, the story of Socrates and the re
building of the Acropolis. Miss Hall is the
author of "Four Old Greeks.".
Toward the end of the year, G. P. Put
nam's Sons will bring out an English ver
sion, by A. E. Zlmmern, of Guglielmo Fer
rero's "The Greatness and Decline of
Rome," the first volume of which will deal
with "Imperialism Under the Republic."
This house also announces for the same time
a translation of Edouard Herrlot's "Madame
Recamler and Her Friends." which William
Helnemann will bring out in London. This
work contains vivid pictures of the times
from 1800 to 1810, and throws a clear light
on Parisian and French life and society.
Madame Recamler was married to the bank
er in her 10th year, and It has been said
that she was Recamiers natural daughter,
but that he took this step as the only way to
make secure to her his wealth. She was, at
one time, very intimate with Mme. de
StaeL and among her ardent admirers was
Benjamin Constant, whose letters to her
were put Into a couple of volumes, but their
publication prohibited. At Abbaye-aux-Bols,
whither she went after she lost most of her
fortune, she received many visitors, among
them Chateaubriand.
Mrs. John King Van .Rensselaer has writ
ten the story of "Newport Our Social Capi
tal." and the book is to he published -in the
Autumn by the J. B. Llpplncott Company of
Philadelphia. Besides telling the early his
tory of the city. In which the author shows
that Newport has been a jocial center for a
longer time than is generally thought, and
considering Newport as a meeting place ot
American fashion and as a town with an
honorable and significant history. he de
scribes Its present drives, buildings and land
marks, which are familiar to the visitor,
adding new information which will be of In
terest to those who have seen the city and
those who intend to visit It. Mrs. Van Rens
selaer pays particular attention to the beau
tiful houses and grounds, the people who
own them, and the festivities of which they
are the scenes. The many illustrations will
show exteriors and Interiors of the hand
somest and most typical Newport residences,
views of Newport, Us amusements, etc, and
In headlines and Initials drawn by Edward
Stratton Holloway will be presented resi
dences, gardens, pergolas, etc. There will
also be a colored frontispiece by Henry
Hutt. The pictures will be reproduced in
photogravure, double-tone, and black-and-white.
The Macmlllan Company announces for
publication at the end ot this month "A
Self-Supporting Homo." by Mrs. Kate V.
Saint Maur. The author describes the
home" she established, entirely without
capital, on a small farm. She gives all the
details of th care of poultry and pet stock
and other farm creatures, together with
some new suggestions for a successful and
easy way of cultivating a vegetable garden.
The book will be fully illustrated.
The works of Luclan of Samosata, trans
lated into English by H. w. and . u
Fowler, in four volumes, are about to be
added to the Clarendon Press series of trans
lations. The translators have inscribed on
the title page Lucian's remark: "At each flaw.
be this your first thought: The author doubt
less said something quite different, and much
more to the point. And then you may hiss
me off. if you wlil." It may be recalled that
Macaulay described Luclan as the last great
master of Attic oloquence ana wit.
There Is a symbolic significance in the de
sign which is used for the cover of "Bueh
Ido," by Dr. Nltobe. recently published by the
Putnams. This book interpret for English
readers the traditional knight-errantry of the
Japaneso Samurai. The cover design shows
one of tho most cherlshod symbols of the
followers of Bushldo. a golden branch of
-cherry blossoms against a red sun. Its mean
lng is that as the cherry flowers all fall at
the same time, so the samurai succeed or zaii
together.
The London Times has, on what appears to
be a considerable scale, gone Into the busi
ness of selling books and running a circulat
ing library of the sort on which the English
reading public so largely rely for their supply
of books. In Its contracts with the publishers
of the books which It proposes to sell or cir
culate, it is stated that the Times stipu
lates not only for the dU count accorded to the
large distributing agencies, hwt also that a
certain amount shall be expended for adver
tising in its columns, and. that no like ar
rangement shall be made with any other
newspaper for a fixed time. This was fftated
originally to be five years, but to have -
reduced to one year. The present-day wUr

Sir Gilbert Parker has not been putting forth
new books lately, probably because the re
cent condition of affairs of state In Great
Britain has exacted a great deal of the time
and thought of a government member of Par
liament. Sir Gilbert s latest book, "A Ladder

secure a fund for the support of Ethel, the

known that her father's affairs were not pros

Egerton R. Toung, already a member of the
guild of "dog book" authors, has this year
turned his Northern experience to account by
writing "Hector, My Dog: His Autobiography.
Hector Is not a denizen of the far North from
which Jack London's dog heard the call of
tho wild, but of a more southern region,
wherein the cold is not so intense as to bru
talize either man or dog, but Is suffleiently se
vere to force them into a state of mutual
dependence, and to bring out something like
human qualities In the animal. Hector is
not only with his master on the trail and In

by Katharine Beebe, author of "Klndergar-J

book is a complete guide to those who wish
to teach their children at home Instead of
sondlng them to private or public kinder

needed, which, by the way, are very simple
and within the reach of every mother; men
tions appropriate songs, games, etc., and. In
fact, outlines a whole year's work. It an
swers the oft-repeated question, "What shall

COST OF THE WHITE HOUSE
Sum Required Annually to Mntntaln
It and Other Figures.
Saturday Evening Post.
The White House up to dato has cost
about J3.0MLCOO, of which nearly one-third
has been paid for furniture and decora
tion. Originally the State of Virginia
gavo 313O.C0O to build It. Maryland adding
572,000. To maintain the White House
costs from J35.C00 to SSO.OCO a year, the
appropriation for this purpose varying
considerably . J3ut every now and then
there Is something extra to be paid for,
and Congress Is called upon to give an ex
tra J30.OCO or $50,000. The biggest pull of
this kind ever made was for 5550.000. which
was spent a couple of years ago In a par
tial reconstruction of the Interior, and in
the addition of wlngllko terraces and an
office building.
Every now and then a new set of china
has to be provided, and usually that costs
about J25.O0O rather a big sum from the
everyday housewife's point of view. Re
pairs run up to a large amount annually,
white paint being an Important Item.
Tho President gets his pay every month
In the shape of a check, or, more accu
rately speaking, a "warrant." for 51166.67,
which Is sent by a messenger to the
TVhlte House. A memorandum of the
amount duo Is made out by the Auditor
for the State Department and Is sent to
the warrant division of the Treasury,
where it Is examined and marked as ap
proved. The Secretary of the Treasury
signs It. the comptroller certifies It as
correct and then President Roosevelt re
ceives hl3 money. The smallest warrant
ever issued by tho Treasury Department
was In favor of a President of the United
States, It was for 1 cent and was for
warded from "Washington to Mr. Cleve
land at Gray Gables, the sum being due
to close the account of salary for the
fiscal year.
Baseball and War.
New York "World.
Boris Suvorln, of the Russian Xovoe
Vremya, who proposes to Introduce base
ball Jnto Russia. Is asked to consider the
older-fashioned game.
In the old days you pitched with tho
straight arm. You "fanned" at the ball
about as often as you felt like it. The
umpire was lenient In calling strikes.
You could catch a player out on "first
bound" of the ball. Most Important of
all. you did these things yourself Instead
of yelling; through a wlro netting.
"When the Civil "War broke out the ama
teur baseball clubs throughout the North
became recruiting centers for volunteer
companies that did not wait to be draft
ed. That kind of baseball spirit In a re
formed Russia would be Invincible.
Rich red blood naturally results from
taking Hood's Sarsaparllla. It tones the
whole system.
