Lighton of Omaha the fascinating to thie famous series is a history of the Lewis and Clark expedition. Blographies | of John Greenleat Whittier and James Fennimore Cooper have been added to the Beacon weries of blography. Educators will hail with delight a new history of education by Paul Monroe. This work s unlike the conventional history of education and Is a very exhaustive treatise which discueses the development of educa tion from earliest time down to the present. The first volume of "Saintsbury's History of Literary Criticism’ has been received. Many more volumes of this work will fol- low. The present volume is devoted en- tirely to a study of the literary criticism of anclent times. Several Interesting historical works have been recelved. F. Marion Crawford's “Rulers of the South” has much that s new to tell of the nobility in Sicily and other Mediterranean countries. W. Allson Phillips contributes a work on modern Eu- rope. Richard Lodge's book, called “'Close of the Middle Ages,” is a work which sup- plements many studies of the middle ages which have been issued during the last few ¥ Chinese History. A.

Persons who are interested In the his- tory of the stage and its people will find many new books of interest in the Iibrary. Norman Hapgood's “Stage in Amerfca” s among the recent additions to the lore of stageland. Other books have been ordered | which will tell of the actors who are now In the public eye. Thomas B. Reed's ‘"Modern Eloquence” is & book which contains much of interest to persons who are called upon to speak In public. In this work are given many fa. mous after-dioner speeches. It Is much different from the ordinary compendium ot eloquence in that it sets forth examples of all sorts of oratory and is not confined en tirely to the efforts of men of national reputation. The man who suffered last summer with mosquitoes may learn much concerning the little pests from Leland Ossian Howard's “Mosquitoes.” Mr. Howard is a govern- ment expert who has made an exhaustive study of mosquitoes and has much to tell about the experiments made to exterminate the Insect: An effort is being made to provide books which will be of interest to persons who have made a study of photography. “Photo- Miniature,” a monthly magazine of photogra- phy, has been added to the list of periodi- cals In the reading room and many new works on the subject have been purchased.

We wore heavy flannels, jackets lined with sheepskin, caps which drew down eotirely over our ears, and on our feet heavy ordinary socks, German socks and overshoes.

It is wild and broken in character, the hills and low mountains rising in sheer slopes, broken by ¢lffs and riven by deeply cut | and gloomy gorges and ravines. The sage- brush grows everywhere upon the flats and hillsides. Large open groves of pinyon | and cedar are scattered over the peaks, | ridges and tablelands. Tall spruces cluster in the cold ravines Cottonwoods Krow along the stream courses, and there are occasfonal patches of serub-oak and quak- ing aspen. The entire country is taken up with cattle ranges wherever it is possible to get a sufficient water-supply, natural | or eritficial. Some thirty miles to the east and north the mountalns rise higher, the | evergreen forest becomes continuous, the snow les deep all winter, and such north- ern animals as the wolverene, lucivee, and snow-shoe rabbit are found. This high country is the summer home of the Colo rado elk, which are now rapidly becoming extinct, and of the Colorado blacktall deer, which are still plentiful, but which, unless better protected, will follow the elk in the | next decade or so. In winter both elk | and deer come down to the lower country, thrcugh which | made my bunting trip, Fables aside, the cougar is a very inter- “What makes a woman anarchist? Hered- ity, education or environment?" The question was put to a woman whose anarchy is thorough, but philosophical and wholly contemplative. This |s her answer “The woman anarchist is born. Men may be converted, but women—never. | mean }In' that that the revolt against conditions must be inborn—although a woman may §0 through half her life before realizing her revolutionary capacities. You see, an- archy, communism, socialism, are all but | diverse and contending shoots from the | same root—discontent. 1 am far from say- ing it Is a divine discontent. Anarchy, no more than anything else, can turn ordinary human creatures Into angels or demi-gods But your anarchist must be born to kick against the pricks of conditions social, financial, governmental. A woman who em braces the doctrine in its entirety swings herself free of church and law, creeds and communions, ordinances of marriage and baptism. Indeed, it is a question if the soclal revolt is not keener and more vigor- ous than that against civil authority. Al and twice all that was ever alleged against chattel slavery, anarchy alleges specifically agalnst the institution of marriage. One cardinal doctrice is that the destruction of the family is the salvation of the race, Famlly ties, it is held, hold men and women in bondage to existing conditions and hamper them for great deeds. And this s why 1 say that a woman must be born for it. It takes a very speclal fiber thus to brave all the old gods.” Possibly she was right. Certainly the personnel of the women who are or have been exponents of anarchy goes far to Justity her. Though they are dotted and splotched through the whole history of civilization, one needs go no further back than Charlotte Corday to demonstrate how tragically a fixed idea may overturn the most intensely feminine temperament If only the ‘“fiber of anarchy” be present. Youth, beauty, high breeding, careful nur- ture, availed nothing against the volcanic stress of the revolution. She had never seen Cltizen Marat—who was, it appears, after all, no bad sort——but she hated in him his crimes—that I8 to say, the crimes lald to him by common report. And so she slew him, and paid for it with her life. Martyr though she was, one cannot escape the conclusion that in spite of her pure blood, her sheltered life and pious training, she had something In common with the un- speakable Theralgne de Merincourt and her band of gutter-bred furles, who haunted the guillotine to revile the aristocrats even when their heads rolled from the block, Today anarchy and nihilism in Russia have their Cordays—witness Vera Sas- sulitch. Princesses even are among the most ardent propagandists, and adroit and powerful agents of the cult. Indeed, it is sald the Ruselan secret police feAr women of the highest class even more than the students or the secret societies. Naturally these revolutionary grand duches grand dames generally are wary of letting their tendencies become known—mot only on personal grounds, but because it woull limit their usefulne 8o long as they go unsuspected they can furnish the workers with the two things most needed-—informa- tion and money. Thus It happens that in actual work they are not given even a num- ber, but designated simply as O.

Doubtless careful Investigation will disclose several varying forms in an animal found over such immense tracts of country and living under such utterly diverse conditions. But in its cesential habits and trafte, the big, slinking vearly uni-colored cat seems to be much the same everywhere, whether living in moun- tain, open plain or forest, under arctic cold or tropic heat. When the settlements be- come thick, it retires to dense forest, dark swamp or Inaccessible mountain gorge and moves about only at night. In wilder re- glons It not Infrequently roams during the day and ventures freely into the open. Deer are its custmoray prey where they are plen- titul, bucks, does and fawne being killed indifferently. Usually the deer is killed almost instantaneously, but occasionally there is quite a scuffle, in which the cougar may get brulsed, though, as far as I know, never serfously. It is also a dreaded enemy f sheep, pigs, calves and especially colts, and when pressed by bunger a big male cougar will kill a full-grown horse or cow, moose or wacitl. It is the special enemy of monntain sheep. ln 1885, while hunting white goats north of Clark's fork of the Columbia, In & region where cougar weie common, 1 found them preying as freely on the goats as on the deer. It rarely catches antelops, but ts quick to seize rabbits, other «mall beasts, and even porcupine No animal, not even the wolf, is so rarely seen or so difficult to get without dogs. On the other hand, no other wild heast of ite size and power is 50 easy to kill by the ald of dogs. There are many contradic- Uons iu its character. Like the American wolf, it {s certainly very much afrald of man; yet it habitually follows the trail of the hunter or solitary traveler, dogging ‘Noted Women Anarchists | castle of Broncourt. Of course there could be no talk of marriage—but Louise and her mother lived at the castle, the aristos cratic grandparents holding that right, and Justice demanded it. This was before thu second empire. Loulse, refusing to take the oath of allegiance to Napoleon 111, lost her chance of a teacher's place and for years endured the pinching poverty But she went, heart and soul, over to tho Paris reds—spoke and worked for them, and when the crash of empire culminated in the terrors of the commune, made her self the incarnation of its murderous ten- dencies. Sentence of death passed on her in December, 1871, was commuted to im- prisonment and deportation. After the general amnesty of 1880 she came home, but again got into trouble, was sentenced for five years, but when pardoned not long after refused “the insult of a pardon.” and had to be forced out of prison. She has lived since in London, devoting herself less to anarchy than to the advancement ot women, and by her dally way and walk contradicting all that is cruel or violent in her creed. Beside her the American women anarch- ists seem cri and cheap. The most no- torfous of them, Emma Goldman, at pres- ent under an especial ban, is of Russlan birth and semi-American breeding. She was brought here at 7, but has spent much time abroad. Her hold upon anarchy and aparchists is a standing marvel. Her per- sonality is dominant, even domineering, so much so that men, In the mass, resent it, and women, without exception, are her critical detractors. Ugly, non-magnetic, with a harsh, almost croaking voice, that becomes a scream at the least provocation, she yet holds attention upon first hearing by the force and passion of her speech. Mentally she is acute, but o narrow that, once heard, theie is no need of further Iis tening. The fact that she is nearly always supremely illogical in no wise detracts, for she addresses audlences more illogical even than herself. She has lived “the free life" with various companions—one 6f them the notorious Most, whom later she eoundly thrashed. The cheers evoked by her speechea are mainly due to the fact that sald what the most part of her audience has been thinking more forcibly than they could say it for themselves. And her welght, without a friendly personal fol- lowing, is not perhaps so astonishing when one takes Into consideration that in an- archy and cognate beliefs, from their very nature, there are no friends—every man's band is agalnst every other man's, except in 8o far as the other i necessary to the realization of his own belfef. Mrs. Lucy Parsons, widow of the Chicago bomb-thrower, goes far to justify a theory lately propounded, namely, that anarchy is most virulent in races of African and Orlental admixture. Polish and Bohemian Jews—ot Slav and Semitic blood; Russians ~—Slav and Tartar; Itallans and Spaniard among whom the Moorish cross and the taint of Hannibal's army are still but too visible, make up the rank and file of an- archy—at least in the United States. Lucy Parsons clalms Mexican descent, but is un- mistakably a mulatto. For marriage with her, Parsons, a southerner born. was dis- owned by his family. This fact possibly nt him to Chicago, anarchy and death— still it is lkely that he, too, was born with the anarchistic tendency and expressed it first In the marriage which so contravened his bringing up.

It iul small wonder that the average frontfer settler should grow to regard almost with superstition the great furtive cat whioh he never sees, but of whose presence he is ever aware and of whose prowess sinister proof is sometimes afforded by the deaths not alone of his lesser stock, but even of his rallch cow or saddle-horse.

She s typical, in that she shows a curlous an- archistic condition, viz., the rank and file and the leaders of the so-called ‘“force- groups™ are, almost without exception, for- elgn. But the leaders of thought, the real soul of anarchy, also its effective mouth- pleces, are New Englanders, either native or transplanted to the stronger soll of the west. In proof take Benjamin Tucker of Bos- | ton, E. C. Walker, some time of Kansas, and Moses Harmon, owner and editor of Lucifer, the anarchistic organ.
