A Bunch of Popples, by Mary Adams Jame
son. $1. Jennings & Graham, Cincin
nati, and the J. K. Gill Co., Portland.
Former situdenfs of Willamette Univer
sity In Oregon and elsewhere will be
gratified to learn that Mary Adams Jame
son, who was preceptress of the Willam
ette University many years uro while
Professor T. M. Gatch was president, dur
ing the 'TCa, has returned to take charge
of Lausanne Hull, of that institution as
matron.
While preceptress, Mrs. Jameson was
known as Miss Mamie Adams, and occu
pied that position for sdx years. At that
time sho had written and published a
number of poems under the nome de
plume of Mom Linton, and her verse at
tracted much attention for its tenderness
and beautiful sentiment. Recently her
poems were collected and published in
book form under the title, "A Bunch of
Popples." These poems are of great
variety and touch various keys. In the
collection are love eongs, lullabies, poems
of religious thought and feeling, quaint
ly and tenderly expressed. The book,
which is finely bound, will be eagerly
sought by Mrs. Jameson's 4'boys and
girls" in Oregon, who received many a
"demerit" in her claasrom in "Old Wil
lamette" In years past. But they have
forgiven her and trust that she has re
turned to Oregon to remain and to further
enrich the literature of the state.
Made in His Image-, by Guy Thome. George
V. Jacobs & Co., Philadelphia.
What should be done not with tiae un
employed, but with the unemployable of
a great city meaning those who will not
work if work is offered them, the prole
tariat, the vicious classes?
"Made in His Image" answers by tell
ing the method employed In Great Britain
by Charles Bosanquet, the Minister for
Industrial Affairs. He secured the pass,
age of legislation by which he was em
powered to arrest as slaves the class
complained of and herd them for life in
a penal colony located in a great walled
enclosure 15 miles square, on the coast
of Cornwall, with the Atlantic Ocean on
one side and a wall of steel on the other.
Legislators were convinced that social
paralysis threatened the nation, and that
the church, soup kitchens and private and
public philanthropy had failed. So in the
new colony all the civic rights of the
slaves were taken away, latterly all re
ligious teaching was abolished, and the
unfortunates were ruled by military dis
cipline and were treated as If they were
in continual prison. Political opponents
of Bosanquet and church people protested
in vain against the continuance of the
colony, on humanitarian grounds. One
night, the slaves who had been secretly
furnished lirearms by anarchists arose
on their jailers and massacred them. The
military chief of the colony is General
Rye. who appears to be the prototype of
General Kitchener.
The main idea is & strong one and is
cleverly handled, but now and then the
book wanders. Still, it is a terrible in
dictment and appeals to thoughtful peo
ple. The leader, by Mary Dillon. Illustrated by
Kutn M. Hallock. SI. SO. Doubleday,
Page & Co., New York City, and tne J.
K. Gill Co.. Portland.
By combining many incidents in the
life of William Jennings Bryan and
coupling them with a suppositious
lovestory. Miss Dillon has evolved a
hero polltlclan-orator in the person of
John Dillon, and told about him in
"The leader."
Incident from the last Democratic
Presidential campaign and St. Louis
National Democratic Convention are
also used to marked advantage. Be
cause Dillon insists on the observance
of his trust-smashing plank in his
party's platform, the nomination for
the Presidency goes to one Martin R.
Berkeley, evidently another name for
Judge Parker, of New York. Of course.
Berkeley to keep up the illusion
meets with political defeat. Sometimes
the novel does not ring true, in that
mawkish lovemaklng often takes pre
cedence over what ought to be a thrill
ing political story. The latter. M:ss
Dillon says. Is in no sense taken from
recent history. Is she afraid of a re
joinder from Mrs. Bryan?

tag. A. C. UcClurg at Co., ChicaKO.
If all women were like the Stained
Glass Lady otherwise Miss Hegina
Klizabeth Joyce they would indeed be
fortunate. She is a person of elegant,
refined leisure, and lives an Ideal life
in an elegant house containing such ap
pliances as the Place of Dancing Shad
ows, the Koom of Pleasant Shadows,
the Room of Many Quiet Things, Room
of Rainbows, etc. yet It is a most
charming story for a child. The Little
Boy named In the book is Theodore
Randolph, and one day while attend
ing un Episcopal church with his fa
ther, he sees Miss Joyce standing in
line with a stulned-glasa window and
w. At Paxion.
Imagines he sees her face in the window.
The story that follows is filled with
the loveliest sentiment, picturing the
innocent affection of a child for an in
stinctlvely good woman. The flowers
In the garden talk to them and the
many voices of the pipe organ called
into being by the fair magician send
the little boy to slumberland as the
evening shadows fall.
The Dream and the Business, by John Oliver
Hobbes. $1.00. D. Appleton & Co. New
York City.
Although "John Oliver Hobbes" Mrs.
Cralgie is dead, she speaks in this novel
of religious experience and trial. Of
course it Is of England and the Catholic
Church, for it is from this field that this
American-Englishwoman loved most to
write about and weave into a story.
Traces are again found of the direct in
fluence on Mri. Craigle's life of such
writers aa possibly George Meredith and
George Eliot. But the book has the im
press of . a practiced hand. The novelist
plunges- into the story telling by devoting
the first chapter to a sacred concert given
in a Congregational chapel in Bayswater.
The most powerful personalities intro
duced are Firfalden, a preacher, and Les
sard, an actor-singer and scoffer gen
erallyunfortunate in all his love making.
At one time Lessard gives way to thl3
voice of complaint:
Why Is it my fate to love fanatical, reli
gious women? First, a stony. Puritan; now
this wayward Catholic and both of them
mad on the subject of virtue in its maddest
form. They would both think Isolde Im
moral, and l'unlon Ubre an abomination. In
the interest of a multitude of Philistines,
they are right but the highest type of in
dividual is sacrificed.
The novel Is the most thoughtful and
possibly the ablest of Mrs. Craigie's. Her
sentences are as polished as ever and her
converstations real. What a pity she
did not take a more cheerful view of life
and brighten the gloom with humor! Btlll.
she was a great ; writer and a good
woman.
Chinatown Ballads, by Wallace Irwin. Illus
trated. 11.25. Fox. Dutfleld & Co., New
York City.
Seven poems, in an attractively bound
book, tell in words of wonderful
quaintness and strength of the "City
of Dreams that Was," as Mr. Irwin
affectionately speaks of San Francisco
before the fire. Mr. Irwin is growing
to be more and more one of the most
admired poets of America, because his
verse goes straight to the heart and
he never writes unless he has a mat-,
sage to tell. These verses now under re
view have the real poet's swing and ring
about them, and show that he is growing
in the - art he so fittingly adorns. The
pictures are very well done.
Listen to the ring- of this:
Tou can take a Chink'- away from Ms hop,
'Is lanterns an' gals an' pigs an' coop;

Reminiscences of My Childhood and Youth,
by -George Brandes. $2.50. Fox, DuAield
& Co., New oYrk City.
Brimming over with gossipy reflections
of men, manners and books, these remi
niscences of George Brandes, the Danish
philosopher and author, are. so far as
they go. of more than ordinary impor
tance. Brandes' boyhood years at Copen
hagen are recalled in the days when Den.
mark lost some of her fairest provinces
by war, but more to the point are his
recollections of a long literary life prin
cipally spent in Denmark, France, Ger
many. England and Italy. Speaking criti
cally, the account is a wandering one and
wants cohesion. Too bad that aucft a
useful life is so hidden in a book that
ought to mean so much.
Short Studies of Old Testament Heroee, by
Emma A. Robinson and Charles H. Mor
gan. 50 cents. Jennings & Graham, Cin
cinnati. O.
Can be commended to those who wish a
short and simple Bible' course, and the
work is marked by individuality, original
ity and orthodoxy. In opposition to the
new scientists, who declare that the true
location of the Garden of Eden is near
the present north pole, this little book
favors the assumption that Eden was the
name for the whole fertile plain along the
Euphrates and Tigris Rivers. Twenty
five complete studies are given, with
maps.

"In Carlyle's Country," "Royal Win
chester" and "Tom Hood's Homes and
Friends."
The Prince Goes fishing, by Elizabeth
Duer. Illustrated. $1.50. D. Appleton Co.,
New York City.
It is impossible to read this refreshing
novel which has a Zenda flavor ever new,
without being amused and entertained.
There Isn't a morbid strain in it and no
body Is killed. The plot is simple being
the betrothal and subsequent marriage oi
the Princess Helene. of Grippenberg, and
Crown Prince Maximilian, of Palatina.
both countries being of course mythical.
A step out of the beaten path is taken
and the tale of true love will find a
welcoming echo. The oddities of royalty
are painted with the grotesque ability of
a Leech. "The Prince Goes Fishing" has
more genuine fun in It than "The
Prisoner of Zenda."
Songs That Every Child Should Know, edited
by Dolores M. Bacon. Illustrated and
decorated by Blancno Ostartag. 90 cents.
Doubleday, Page & Co., New York City.
How often do mothers and big sisters
look through the collections of popular
songs, hoping to find something simple
that the children can sing! Here is the
desired book at last a selection of the
best songs of all nations for young peo
ple. The ordinary staff notation is used
with the words of the songs printed un

The notes attached to the various songs
are most interesting. A song book that
can be used to advantage in both home
and school. 4

Buff, by a Physlopath. $1. Little, Brown
ft Co., Boston.
Buff is a person who is a living pro
test against the expressed longing of
physicians and surgeons to fill their
patients with medicine or to operate
on them, without first trying restora
tive nature cures. The book teaches
that consumption is no more contag
ious or hereditary than indigestion and
defines the difference between natural
Immunity from disease and contagion
and the medical variety. The conclus
ions reached are marked by shrewd
common sense, but the meaning is now
and then somewhat muddled.

the United States, .by Kearney and Fre

ft Graham. Cincinnati, O.
A normal class textbook essential to
every Sunday school teacher's equipment

Tells of the Civil War. from the Vir
ginian point of view, and boys in grey
and black mammies talk interestingly
through its pages. The novel is in no
sense a war book. It rather tells of the
women folks left at home to suffer

negro dialect is very well done and on
the whole the book Is temperate and one
of exceptional merit.

SCIENTIFIC POULTRY FEEDING
DR. L. DECHMANJT TELLS 1H DETAIL WHAT RATIONS SHOULD BE
USED TO PRODUCE A PERFECT FOWL
BY DR. L. DECHMANX. PHYSIOLOGI
CAL CHEMIST.
SO many inquiries have come to me,
personally and by mail, concerning
the proper feeding of poultry since
the publication of the descriptive article
In The Sunday Oregonian recently, that I
must answer publicly if I would reach the
multitude who are interested in the im
provement of this exceptionally important
food product. That so much active inter
est is manifested in the subject gratifies
me.
Within the limit of a single article, it is
impossible to do more than merely touch
on the matter of food, though at least ele
mentary knowledge of its chemistry is es
sential to an understanding of the correct
diet for domestic fowls. Later I may take
up and epitomize what scientific men all
over the world have discovered In the
last half century concerning food values
for man and beast and the results ob
tained by putting theories evolved In the
laboratory to practical tests. As to Intel
ligent feeding of poultry, no further proof
is necessary than the fowls now In evi
dence. The type of the best layer and the
best meat combined has been produced.
Selection of breeds and the requisite diet
have accomplished it. What I have to
say in this article regarding the produc
tion of blood applies to all animal crea
tion as well as to the chicken.
Food for the Blood.
Why do we eat? Why do we drink?
One usually answers to these questions:
Because we experience hunger and thirst.
But why do we hunger and thirst? Every
one knows the story of the artful farmer
who believed he could break his horse of
the habit of eating, and who succeeded in
doing so, but the animal died. In answer
to the above questions, we must explain
that the Incessant processes of change of
matter accovmts for them, and also for
the fact that the organism must daily suf
fer a loss whether the system is supplied
with nourishment or not; if a sufficient
supply of food is not furnished, it is evi
dent that the consequence will be the
breakdown of the individual after the
terrible pains of hunger and thirst have
been experienced.
The intermediate processes between the
supplying of food and the change of mat
ter are taken care of by the blood. All
nourishment Is only so far assimilated as
it is converted into blood. The teaching
of nutritive' science must first of all in
form u of what normal blood Is com
posed, and then must tell us the amount
of the separate nutritive materials there
in. In order that the nutrition may be so
regulated as above all things to build up
the blood. Furthermore, no necessary in
gredient of the blood should, be left out
of account if we are fully to replace all
of the matter consumed by the ife pro
cesses. For a complete and reliable anal
ysis of chickens' or hens' blood, we must
rely upon the seed kernel of the hen,
which is the egg. As the total matter
necessary for building up the special or
ganism (the chicken) must be contained
in the protoplasm (in this case the egg),
we have a point from which to proceed
with accuracy in the production of a
healthy chicken. A normal hen's egg con
sists of:
Per Cent.
Water 73 67
Albumen 12.55
Fat 12.11
Carbohydrates 6$
Mineral or nutritive salts 1.13
Total 100.00
Good Water Essential.
Nearly all nutrition tables begin with
water as the indispensable element, which
Indeed does amount, as we have seen
above in the egg, to nearly three-fourths
of the total. Without water all nourish
ment would stagnate or fail to circulate",
as the fixed nutritive ingredients mu9t
first be dissolved in water before they can
become of service. A good drinking water
must be absolutely free from organic sub
stances, and may contain a very small
amount of chlorine In combination, out
never ammonia. How few would-be com
petent chicken breeders pay proper atten
tion to the above!
Next to water come, as we have seen
above, the albumens, which In nutrition
play an important part. Albumen is the
only nitrogenous material, and no other
substance can take its place. There are
breeders who feed to their chickens from
three to five times as much albuminous
food as they are able to digest, and. on
the other hand, some, who, from prin
ciple or ignorance or from lack of means,
supply food whioh is not rich enough in
albumen. It Is clear that both of these

"self-help" for the every-day professional and

Henry C. Shelley, author of "Literary By

that has appeared on the subject in many
years. It -treats of the history and devel

Moffat, Tard ft Co. announce for early
publication a valuable work by Elisabetn
Luther Cary, entitled "The Works of James
McNeil Whistler." This volume, the text
of which has been pronounced by an expert
critic far the ablest yet written about
Whistler's art, considers his etchings, litho
graphs, pastels, water colors, paintings and
landscapes, concluding with a chapter on
his theory of art. It will be charmingly
presented, and will contain, among its illus
trations, reproductions of many celebrated
works not heretofore reproduced.
The cover of Tom Masson's new book,
"The Von Blumers," which Moffat, Yard &
Co. will publish at once, shows an effective
use of the heart which was so striking a
feature of his last year's successful book,
"A Corner in Women." Not only does the
title again appear in a gold heart in the
center of the cover, but around its edges
35 tiny gold cuplds are playing ball with
117 tiny gold hearts. The heart will be still
again used on the cover of Mr. Masson's

same house will publish in November.

and followed.
Regarding fat and carbohydrates, which
are of the nonnltrogenous nutrition stuffs.
it is here only necessary to state that
they are mutually capable of being sub
stituted for each other. One hundred
grammes of fat are equal to about 250
grammes of carbohydrates. Fat Is con
tained in all flesh or meat, in milk or in
the yolk of eggs, but is also represented in
plants. Carbohydrates are, on the other
hand, fat builders, which are strongly rep
resented in potatoes and in many other
vegetable products
In the following table are given the
average contents in the various nutritive
material which shold be supplied in the
chicken food. To those interested in the
subject, I suggest preserving these ta-

Aa long as we don't raise our vegetables
and other foodstuffs properly, we cannot
expect that they will contain sufficient
nutritive salts to produce good blood,
therefore, there Is no other way to intro
duce these salts into the system except
by mixing a proper proportion of It with
the chicken food. One pound of nutritive
salts is sufficient for 100 pounds of the
following mixtures:
Table a.
MIXTURE L
SO pounds oats.
15 pounds wheat. '
15 pounds corn.
15 pounds buckwheat.
15 pounds sunflower seed.
5 pounds bloodmeal.
95 pounds.
Ratio protein to non-nitrogenous food.
x w .
MIXTURE 2.
SO pounds oats.
20 pounds wheat.
15 pounds corn.
15 pounds buckwheat.
7.5 pounds beef scraps.
95 pounds. Ratio, 1 to
MIXTURE 3.
30 pounds oats.
15 pounds wheat.
15 pounds corn.
15 pounds buckwheat.
10 pounds bloodmeal.
10 pounds beef scraps.
95 pounds. Ratio, 1 to 3.
All of this should be ground and thor
oughly mixed. This should be given twice
a week, as much as the chicken likes to
eat In one meal.
To each 95 pounds of mixture there must
be added 3 pounds phosphate of lime, H
pound chloride of sodium (common table
salt), 1 pound Dechmann's Nutritive Salts
and hi pound Dechmann's Natural Condi
tion Powder. The last two may be ob
tained at any drugstore.
