The author's belief in the teaPhlnas
of theosophy is reflected in this para
graph on page 23:
"Oh, do you not see the wisdom that
gives all an squal chance; that the
many Incarnations will perfect each
soul at last; that no life la lost forever
from the great original plan, but alowly
yet aurely goes upward throush many
racea of men, until the soul's complete-1
ness surpasses your dreams of heaven
and makes of the earth life only one
day of the great eternal?"
In the closing paragraph of the Inst
poem from which the book tnkes Its
title the whole sentiment of the entire
book is reflected:
"Oh, mockery of words that stlpg and
nay,
Oh, echoes of the songs that pass
away.
Oh, dream of dreams, oh, faith by
memory fanned,
Life la a garland bound by ropes of
sand."

very Ingeniously kpt him In the fore
ground of the story throughout.
In tho story of John Oalbraith, the
Arctic explorer, the author has drawn
one of the most powerfully dramatic
pictures that has ev-r been presented
through fiction. It Is weird and fanci
ful, and out of It comes the title of
the book which means something to
tally different from the Idea that sug
gests Itself throughout the story.
It Is unnecessary for Miss Robins'
publishers to announce that she has
gotten her material first hand, for no
one who had not actually participated
in the Alaska rush, or seen Nome In
those early days of hardship, wicked
ness and misery could paint them so
true to life. The book is full of good
things that might be culled out and

"Proposals to Kathleen,'" by Mrs. W.
K. Clifford On the evo of her marriage
to the scholarly Herbert Fellowes Kath
leen decides for the last time to read
over the letters of proposal she has re
ceived during a long bolledom, and then
burn them. One is rather prejudiced
against Kathleen in the start when she
makes the statement: "The day after
tomorrow I shall marry Herbert Fel
lowes. He Is rather a prig. In my in
nermost soul and In this quiet room I
need hv no acrunles In ownlncr the
truth," but before tho confessions of this
young woman have drawn to a ciose,
end the last letter has been burned, she
haa overcome nil the earlv nreiudlces
and has her reader most sympathetically
interested in her, for, throughout, sne
is a sweet womanly girl, though she
haa relected a score of men. most of
whom are bright and attractive and she
Is, upon her own confession, about to
marry a prig.
She frankly says she has had more
opportunities to receive proposals tnan
most girls and naively acknowledges
that it is this, more than her personal
attractions, that has favored her, there
by taking from her story every vestige
of egotism. In spite of its title the
book Is not frivolous, but Is keenly
critical of men and methods that enter
th matrimonial mart. This is finely
masked by the genial good humor and
kindly feeling of Kathleen as her old
suitors pass in review, while her own
comments fill in the interesting narra
tive and throw an Illuminating llgnt
over the whole.
Only once her heart was really
touched: the man was noor and Indolent,
but in everything else a charming fel

Katmeen s poverty was or snort dur
tion, .but during it she taught and for
the first time knew the Joy of being a
wage earner. There are many good
essona tucked away between the lines

. "The Boy Geologist," by Professor
E. J. Houston This Is the story of one
winter at boys' school, where geology
was given special attention. Two boys.
Frederick Brown and Albert Bridge,
were warm friends and both were par
ticularly Interested In the study. Mr.
Brown. Fred's father, offered a prise
for the boy that made the most progress
during the winter In tho study of ge
ology, and thus added zest to the In
terest the boys already took In their
work.
Mr. Johnson, their Instructor, was a
rare character aftd such a one us Hny
school might desire. "Among his many
characteristics that pleased the boys
was the way he had of constantly em
ploying new methods of teaching, Oius
Hssurlng o freshness of Impression that
is so maraedly aDsent In ordinary teach-1
ing."
This school yenr Included the time 1
cf the San Francisco disaster, and a
chapter gives one of tho most Intensely i
Interesting discussions upon the cause
and effect of earthquakes, using such
historic references as the Lisbon earth
quake and the eruptions of Mount Ve
suvius, etc.. throwing new and interest
ing light about them.
The scenes of the story itself are
laid near Philadelphia. It Is a strong
well-written story which will not only l
interest but ftlve an immense amount I
of valuable Information In an attractive

"Little White Indians," by Fnnnle'E.
Ostrander This is a pretty child's story
of make believe Indian life. A Darty
of children, off on their vacation, aided
and abetted by their elders, particularly
y indulgent relatives, conceive the idea
of becoming Indians "good Indians; the
kind Ernest Thompson Beton writes
about." So they are trigged out in
feathers, blankets, tents and other In-;
dlan paraphernalia, and bejrin their play i
in regular "good Indian" fashion. Their I
pranks are as much enjoyed by the ;
grownups as by the children, and during
the quiet hours the older people tell ;
the children real Indian stories, which
embraces a good deal of valuable in
formation, so the children get lnstruc-
tlon as well as fun out of their play. I

"The World in the Making," by Svan
lte Arrhenius. Under this picturesque
title a fearless new theory of the uni
verse hag been formulated by one of
the most independent of modern scien
tists. From the principles of the me
chanical radiation pressure of life that
rays of light falling upon a surface tend
to push that surface back a new
theory of world building has been
evolved. Nebulous bodies are absorbing
dust from the sun, and themselves
growing warmer, while our sun grows
colder. Old suns collide with one an
other, new "stars" flash up and new
stars cluster and the cycle repeats.
Bold speculation! Yet thev can ex
plain why it is that the familiar ele
ments of our little globe are identified
in all the bodies of space, and they re
fute the possibility that the universe
Is driving towards a final end. It is
a remarkable book both for science and
reading. The author, a Swedish phil
osopher, is commanding the attention of
two continents. Harper & Brothers,

FEARSOME UNKNOWN.
With a Rebuke for Constructed In

love letters appeal to almost evftry side
of Kathleen's being; she is offered
honor, wealth, position, love, but being
unscathed, save in the one case, which
turns to scorn and contempt in the end,
it is really the intellectual aide that
becomes vulnerable, after she has
reached her twenty-eighth year, and
while she starts out by calling the man
she is to marry a prig, and shrinks from
the new order of things that marriage
will bring about, the reader can dis
cern rr-nr happiness in this marriage

companionship, than there would have
been hi an alliance with any on of
her many lovers.
The benefit to be gotten out of the
book is wholly with the reader; If it
is read with art appreciation of the
meaning underlying each letter one will
consider it a comprehensive study of
human life; If it is read with no thought
but the romance that is in it, the reader
will be well entertained, but will not
have gotten the best that is In It, A.

tressed by the circumstance, which was
naturally very humiliating to a grave
digger and at the same time very con
fining, he lifted up a series of passion
ate lamentations. These were riot lost
upon such Brooklynites as happened by.
One and all, those burghers took to
their heels, scared nigh unto death. At
last, however, there chanced to come
prowling that way a Brooklyn police
man. A stern soul was he, not to be
daunted by mere shrieks from the
grave. He was also a generous soul,
too magnanimous to keep the opportun
ity for psychical research all to him
self. He summoned two other police
men, and thus the arravedirs-er Won ul
timately fetched back to the land of
the living. ,
Reviewing this Incident, the editor of
Collier's has spoken not admlrinsrlv of
the Brooklynites. He has even hinted
pretty .enthusiastically that supersti
tion stiii rages in jarooKiyn; wmcn is
hardly sportsmanlike, considering that
it was a coterie of New Yorkers, not
Brooklynites, who paid 81.600 a pair
for "wonder boots," only a year or so
ago. People who live in wonder boots
should not throw stonss.
But to me, more outsider that I am,
It is easy to sympathise with tho
Brooklyn folks, for I boast o share in
the constricted insularity which Is the
pride of the.Manhaitanites. Indeed, I
am moved to applaud the simple burgh
ers for running away, Their flight, as
I conculve it. argued no faith In ghosts;
it argued only a potelc capacity for re
specting tha unknown. Personally, 1 1

Put Something On.
From the London Sketch.
Dean Stanley was once driving with
a friend from Monreale to Palermo.
Both men were reading. Stanley sud
denly discovered that he was shivering
with a cold. He mentioned the matter
to his friend.
"Well, hadn't you better put some
thlnsr on?" saJd the latter, pointing to
tlie dean's bag. which was close at hand.
Stanley tnougnt it ratner a gooa idea.
ana tii friend went on reading. A they
entered Palermo there were shouts of
astonishment. Stun ley wa3 placidly
reading. His friend found that the dis
tinguished churchman had absent-
mindedly drawn out a nightshirt from
his bag and put It on over his other
ciotning, ana tnus armyea was naing
triumphantly into the city.
TEXAS BUZZARDS.
Few Carloads Wanted for Shipment
to tlie Xorth.
From the San Antonio Express,
Henry Fielding of Bangor, Maine, ar
rived in the city Saturday and Is stop
Ing at the Bexar hotel. Ills mission in
the Lone Star state is tot.purchasa and
acquire Texas buziards of various ages
for shipment to Maine for scavenger
purposes. He is representing a number
of the boards of trade, chambers of
commerce, business clubs, etc.. ot
Maine cities, which have recently awak
ened to the fact that the supply of
buzzards in Maine is rapidly decreasing,
which is injurious to the rural districts
in Maine. '
Mr. Fielding was instructed to select
the most strategic point as a head
quarters in a section of the southwest
well populated with the crimson headed,
creatures, and to begin operations. Mr.
Fielding says It is a matter of general
knowledge that buzzards ara thickest In
a cattle country, and inquiries by mail
and .otherwise proved that afluthwest
Texas is well stocked with What ha u
seeking. The shipments will be in car
load lot to. various , points of Main.
Most of them will probably move out
of San Antonio, coming here in . le
than carload lots. However ir .
Fielding secure, a carload, at any'parl
ticular point in the southwest the ship
ment win be made from there. .
Mr. Fielding admit that hia'misRton
