J. S: DEWEY. S gt BOYS AND RLS, In one of our 4oston public schools, says the Transcript, where the child- ren are taught to sow, little Carrie, who is about 11 years old, made for Her- self a night dress, very prettily trim- med. She had made itso neatly that the teacher had it placed with the spec- imons of work which were displayed at the sewing exhibition, After the child had taken it home her mother told her she must not wear it now, but keep it until she was older. That night the mother, going to C: found her arrayed in the beautiful night gown, and walking about, much to the delight and admiration of a small broth- er, who exclaimed, **Don’t she look love- lyl”" She certainly did, but the mother expostulated and told her to take the night gown off. “Oh I will,” suid Carrie, somewhat petulantly, “but I guess I cansay my prayers in it anyway!” Whereupon she went down upon her knees, and for the next few minutes was very devout. %% @ e @ oh the till screaking we but of even when pencils neglect it that at was scratched . recess solved, up to and the lamb the slates! the boy though sneak at we that our failed had side in torn copred the out ours adding the for we his addled own, our then pates a it up pride. addition we met. summed The Dundee Woekly News toll a story of over shrewduness of a north eountry Scoteh ) He had dislocated his leg* " in whom she Lad great faith.

They at once started to capture the monster, which proved to be a turtle, the like of which was never seen on the beach before. It measured 7 feet and 6 inches in length, und 2 feet and 10 inches ncross the buck, It had a beauti- ful black color on the back. The belly is spotted like a rattlesnake, and it will weigh ut loast eight hundred pounds. The monster was huuled up by Mr. Dut- ton’s team, and cun be seen at the Arcade, T'his is no fish story, as will be seen by the follo¥ing uffidavils: “We, the undersigned citizens of Pablo, do certify that the above nccount of the eapture of said turtle, or whatever it muy be, is teue: H.

Of the many books that have been pub- listed relating to Abranam Lincoln and his administration “Aorabam Lincoln and Men of War Times,"” by the veteran journalist, Colonel A. K. McClure, can without question take rank as ono of the most interesting and valuable. Colonel McClure needs no introduction to the public. He is weil and widely known as a forceful ana perspicuous writer, us a close and sagacious student of men and events, as & writér of exparisuces, extraordinary alike in scope and tuterost. This book is not a biography of Lincoln, nor & history of thecivil war, but it presents a series of pictures of Lincoln in his rela- tion to the great events of his time and to the distinguished men who surrounded bim, from the point of view of an experienced ob- server who was closely associated with the political movement of tho day, and was fre- quently called into the confidential councils of the prosidont. Mr. McClure recoras in this work only those things of which he had ersonal knowi- edge, or which came to his knowledge di- rectly, and his personal recollections of Lin- coln present a truthtul and vivid portrait of that great man at mauy of the critical peri- ods of his life, such a8 has not been pre- sented before. The revelations of Lincoin's judgment and skill as a politiciau are par- ticularly pleasing, becauso this side of his character was koown to comparatively few now living, aithough it formed an element in 'the public history of wa Tho successivo chapters” describe the re- lations of Lincoln with the members of his cabinet, the leaders in congress, the com- manJders of the armies and others of the prominent men about him, whose various and often conflicting efforts and ambitions Le so wisely combined to the service of the country. The book 1s written with entiro dependence and freedom from partisan- ship or prejudice, in a spirit of just approe- ciation, and each chanter gives a clear, com- plete and historical judgment of the subject 1o which it relates. It is sold only by sub- scription and those who have not been sup- plied by local agents can receive it by mail, postpaid, by sending tho subséription price, #2 1o cloth and 3 in moroceo, to The Times, Eighth and Chestuut streets, Philadélphia, It 15 not often that the professions of tho church and of medicine are practiced by one individual, but such is the case in the person of Rev. Sebastian Kneipp, the parish priest of Woerishofen, Bavaria, and- his parishion- ors find it dificult to decide in whi tion ho displays the most abili curing souls or healing bodies. For about forty years in addition to ministering to the spiritual needs of bis flock of devout follow ers Father Kneipp has assiduously devoted all his spare moments to the study of medi- cine and has gained such proficiency in the bealing art that he concluded to publish a book, giving an account of his peculiar treat- ment and directions to thoso who may fecl disposed to see for themselvos what thero is in his system of medicino as taught in “My Water Cure,” as bis bookds styled. The nop- ularity of this work among the Ger- mans " is immense, thirty-three editions having been published. Father Iueipp claims that his water cure heals ail diseases in any way curable, and also thut it hasa tendency to harden an enfeebled system and strengthen 1t for new activity. 1tis a book well worth perusing, ard contains some ex- cellent rules for the prevention and cure of disease. Published by Joseph Kwsel, Kemp ten, Bavaria, and to be obtained in America from Mueblbaues & ischrle, 41 La Salle straet, Chicago. The June number of the North American Review opens with a symposium by three senators, on the Harrison administration. Karl Blind, who writes on “Modern Revolu- tions and Their Results,”” was born at Mann- teim in 1826, He has had a very eventful career, and whenever his life is written up to date it will make quite a romantic narvative. Another futerssting featureis tho first of two articles by Sir John William Dawson on ‘‘Prehistoric Times in Eeypt and Palestine.” The article on the New York clearing house by Willlam A. Camp, the munager of that institution, will attract wide notice at this time. “The Future of Westminster Abbey” is interestingly dis- cussed by Archdeacon Farrar. When the Dean of Westminster recently decided that it would be impossible to provide room in the abbey for a memorial to the late James Russell Lowell, certain hypersonsitive critics felt that a slight had been put on American literature, Archaeacon Farrar points out, however, that if there should be interments at the rate of only one a year room could bs found in the abbey for simple tablets for scarcely more than a century. A very re- markable article is contributed by Dr. H. 8. Williams under the head of “A Modern Form of Insanity.” The tren- chant and delightful writer, Ouida, writes on **The Penalties of a Well' Known Name' and Prof. R. L. Garuer describes ‘‘What I Expect to Do in Africa,” whither he is going to make further researches as to the Simian language, his discoveries in relation to which have attracted so much notice, The revised edition of Rev. Wilbur F. Crafts’ **The Sabbath for Man" cotnes very opportunely before the public at a time when the question of keeping open the World’s fair on Surday is being discussed by all classes of our people, Tho vook is certainly an exhaustive one from the Sun- day closing standpoint, every possible phase of the question being fully prosented. Apart from tho interest which naturally attachos to a work dealing with such an important sub- ject 1t will be found worthy of porusal on account of the lucidity of style in which it is written and the fuud of valuable in- formation to be found fu its 672 pages on matters more or less bearing on the subject of Sabbath observance both in this country and abroad. The book aims chiefly at practical results, the suppres- sion of Sunday work and Sunday disstpation, but it also "discusses the religious and scientific aspects of tue subject. Published by the Baker & Taylor Co., 740 and 742 Broadway, New York. ‘The Cosmopolitan for June is a splendid number. ‘The leading articles are “Evolu- tion and Christianity’’ by St. George Mivary aud "“The Aroplane” by Hiram S.

There are quite & number of other papors, but this will give the reader a fair idea of the contents of this wonth's Cosmopolitan, Dun Beard has just given to the world a very remarkable book under the caption of “Moonlight and Six Feet of Romance,’ which is thought hflnnmo to be equal to Bel- lamy’s “Looking Backward.” [t treats of some of the soclal probloms of the day in o novel, powerful aud intensely interesting manner. The hero becomes straugely en- dowed with the power of secing peoble in their true light, It Is needless to this power proves both a curse and ing, and leads to many and strange savon- tures. Mr. Beard's reputation as an artist 1s worldwide and the numerous illustrations he provides for this book powerfully portray the spirit of the text. Published by Charles L. Webster & Co., New York, *The Wrong That Was Done,” by F. W Robinson, is & strong novel of tho sensa- tional orver. Itis very cleverly conceived and the plot is worked “out wi extraordi- nary lugenuity, Itis fuil of stirring inci- dents, and while some of them are rather im- probable they ure so fuscinatingly related that the reader does uot feel disposed to be hypercritical.

Published by The An- abogue Publishing company, Chicago, bound neatly in cloth. It cavely falls to the lot of the reviewer to notice so exhaustive a work as the “World’s Fair Souvenir,” which has been compiled with so much care by a former resident of Omaha, John D, Jones, For purposes of reference, o comparison and for general information the work is a magnificent reflex of the push and energy of a city that is the won- der of the world, Inits compilation expense has not been thought of, and the richness of its illustrations of the World's fair build- ings, cuts of the men and women who are directing to a successtul issue what bids r to be the greatest exposition of an- cient or modern times, pictures of the colossal business blocks tha stand as monuments to the enterpise of heirowners and builders, is typical of the ““Chicago gnit,” as the rush and bustle of the great city by the inland sea has been described. The book has been arranged upon a most comprehensive plan, the object of the publisher being to give a complex resumo of what may bo seen in Chicago in 1803, and at the same time give the nformation in a compact form, so that the work may be a valuable adjunct to he library and veading room. Its use- fulness will not end with the close of the exposition, but on the contrary will grow in valuo with years, for it is the most perfect compendium yet issued of an event which cannot fail to have an influence for many decades to come upon all lines of art, literature and com- merce. As Mr. Jones says in the intro- duction to the work: ‘‘As an educator this *event will leave its impress upon succeeding gonerations and bear fruit in all realms of human thought, ingenuity and progress.” In addition to its compiete epitoms of what has been done, is doing and will be done when the fair opens, it comes to the general public at a most opportune time. It brings before the American people the forces that are actively at work to make the exposition u success worthy of a nation that in o little overa century has, from nothing, builded the mightiest republic of earth. It not only gives full page art type illustrations and descriptions of the principal buildings of previous world’s fairs und all the buildings of the present World’s Colum bian Exposition, together with portraits and biographical sketches of its officers and chiefs of departments but it tells “How to Reach the Fair,” gives descriptions of Chica- go's parks and boulevards, its placos of amusement, the wholesale and jobbing interests, its rallroad facilities, and in general is the most complete guide book to the city that stands at the edge of Luke Michigan., Do you want one of these books?
