"The Lady of the Mount" By Fred
eric 8. Ieham. The author haa chosen
for his field of action Brittany and the
time about the breaking out of the
French revolution. The Mount was for
centuries a monastery and fortress of
the monks and at the time of Ixuls
XVI It had become a stronghold of the
government, strongly ruiea oy one or n

Adjoining the domain of the governor

heir to the Desaurac estate, a boy sev

Elsie, who was in babyhood betrothed

take everything Mr. Isham writes,
the story is worked out with pains
taking care In the matter of detail,
while the incidents am full of dash and
thrilling interest The directness In tell

f neither waste of words or tiresome

the building of the tale.
While perhaps -lacking something of
the Intertst of "Black Friday," which
comes closer home In Its nearness of
events, ' "The Lady of the Mount" has
a picturesqueness and dainty fascina

but as the great event in the history
of our nation, which after 40 years, it
is now clearly recognized to have been.
The two colossal figures of this "great
event In tne history or our nation ' are
or course. Lincoln ana uavis. tne presi
dents of tie contending sections. Both
dominated Nhe policies of the section
over which they presided, yet each was
held in leash by constitutional restrlc
Hons, and the superhuman weight of
responsibility put upon them. These
facts often make It difficult for his
torlans to get close to the real man,
and the public has largely measured th
men by results rather than by thel
disposition. Lincoln, the successful, ha
Justly passed into history as perhaps
tne greatest American that ever lived,
and his life, crowned with martyrdom,
Is not so difficult to write. But to
winnow from adverse public opinion
tne lire or one who for years was con
sidered the arch-enemy of his country
and present a Just estimate of the man,
is a difficult task for any writer to
do, but in the book we now have under
consideration Mr. uoaa lias accom
plished this task In a most satisfactory
ana careful manner.
TO reas these pages is to feel that
there is no more pathetic figure in
American history than that of Jefferson
Davis. One also sees, through points
which the author brings out, a striking
resemblance between the life and char
acter of Lincoln and Davis they might
be the two sides of a medallion, rrpre
sentlng victory and failure. They
started almost even In life, they were

as they read of Jefferson Davis as the
able statesman, the staunch friend and
kindly husband and father, but the re
semblance ceases when It comes to the
large graso of momentous affairs. The
book Is written apparently without sec
tional prejudice. There are some minor
points that do not wholly agree witb
some other writers upon the life and
work of Jefferson Davis, but they are
unimportant; as, for Instance, the garb
In which Mr. Davis was captured. Few
southern people admit, as Mr. Dodti
Ana. that "Ha t
ut on one of Mrs. Davis'
garments," and that she threw a shawl
around him to Increase the dlsculse,
Lincoln never could have done this. A
smoking Jacket has been the most that
was ever conceded except by the news-
fiapers and cartoonists. Mr. Dodd co
ncides In every detail with the most
authoritative historians regarding Jef
ferson Davis' incarceration at Fortress
Monroe. This was a blot on American
civilisation and a reproach that will
never cease to cry aloud against Presi
dent Johnson and the little coterie of
politicians dominated by Thaddeus Stevens.

Introductory history of Greece for young
children. It Is marked by the same
vivid, readab'e style and accurate schol
arship which have marked all of Miss

Mr. Baker's discussion.
OUR NEED OF WATER.
Muscles Made Elastic and Temper
ature Regulated by Moisture.
Physiologists tell us that the animal
body consists of almost 80 per cent of
water. Admitting this to be true It
would seem plausible, says the Medical
Record, that this quantity Is necessary
in order to carry on the normal physi
ologlcal processes of the animal econ
omy in proper condition.
For similar reasons it wouia also ap-
fiaar plausible that should this quantltj
n any way be greatly reduced or dimin
ished, either through normal pro
cesses of the body or through abnormal
processes, this lost quantity must Im
mediately be resupplied. Should such a
withdrawal of water be permitted to be
unduly prolonged the disorders will as
sume such grave dimensions that life
Itself may ultimately be terminated.
Elasticity and pliability of muscles,
nerves, cartilage, tendons and even
bones depend jalnly on the amount of
water tney contain, water aiso serves
as a distributer of bodily heat and reg
ulates the body temperature by the
physical process of absorption and
elimination.
Under normal conditions and in a
proper degree of health this supolv is
ordinarily furnished partly by the food
and partly by the drink we are dally
consuming. An overindulgence in the
use of waterprovided it is not carried
to excess will seldom If ever be pro
ductive of any deleterious consequences.
