Nothing can be taken seriously by men used to danger. Above the pounding of the horses and the rattle of the wagon and through the dust came the cowboy song: Roll your tall ‘And roll her high; We'll all be angels By and by. Policing the Yellowstone is one of the best sketches in the book. It was there Mr. Remington, riding with the United States cavalry, got his first experience in riding over fallen timber. He had “child- ishly imagined,” he tells us, that “there must be trails wherever men wanted to go.” But the cavalry in the Yellowstone do" not stick to_the trails. They are far more apt to ride ‘‘cross lots” than to go “round by the road.”’ And so they go thro sloughs, over fallen timber and *along balloonlike heights, where a mis- stéep means the end of horse and rider. # * + TInone place, where the two stee; sides of the canyon dipped together, it wwas cut by a nasty seam some six feet deep, which we had to * bucket over’ and main- tain a footing on the other side, After finding myself safely over I watched the shower of pack-mules come sliding down 2nd take the jump. % * * Horses trained to this work do marvels, and old Pat was a topper_at the busifiess. I gave him his head and he justified my trust by negotiating all the details witbout a miss. On a sandy siding he spread his feet and slid with an avalanche of hillside. Old Pat’s ears stuck out in front in an anxious way as if to say, ‘If we hit anything solid T'll stop,’ while from behind came the cheery voice of Oaptain Scott, ‘Here's where we trot.””’ There is an endless fascination in these tales of adventure in the outposts of civili- zation, and Mr. Remington’s lifelike and spirited sketches piay by no meane a minor part in the charm which the book must ave for all readers with & love for gut-of- door life and adventure.

The third volume in Harper’s admirable new edition of Thomas Hardy’s novels is A Pair of Blue Eyes,” which, while by no means are of Hardy's best stories, is one of very intense and real dramatic in- terest. Hardy hasdrawn us many stronger, nobley - characters than the poor little young lady, Eliride Bwancourt, but not one more winning and lovable, despite her weaknesses. The scene of the drama is that vaguely real Wessex kingdom which Hardy has as much created as ever any doughty conqueror created a duchy. As have the volumes already issued the pres- ent one has an etching by H. Macbeth Racbu:n and s map of Wessex and this edi‘ion is of a substantial, dignified sort, and PR ookmakers. 5T : A DEPARTMENT .10F LITERARY APPRECIATION - | well worthy to be the permanent presenta- { tion of ardy’s works.

Mother Goose Up to Date is a collection of modern adaptations of the ditties dear to childish memories. Critical commenta- tors tell us that the original “Mother Goose Melodies” were intended as skits against ancient evils, and it would seem as thouih this view of them might be correct. At all events many of them have required very little alteration to transform them into caps that fit modern heads. Theillus- trations are by the author and are as strik- ing and suggestive as the text is pat. _ ‘Whether Mr. Mighels’ up-to-date rendi- tion of Mother Goose will ever become a nursery classic is a delicately doubtful ques- tion, but children of a larger growth wiil find them worth reading. Here, for in- stance, is our author’s versionof ‘‘Black- birds in a Pie”: 8ing & song of Congressmen, Some of them are sly: Four and twenty issues false Baked into the pie. When the pie Is opened All these issues bold Crowd important measures Right ont in the cold. Men are in the counting-house Making lots of money, Bartering the daily laws Off for sug. and honey.

And he of the woolly West will also see reason as well as thyme in this: One pig corners the markets, One pig forecloses on homes, One pig raises the price of beef, One at his tax always foams. Allcry: “We, we, we Rake for the dollars with combs!” There is a vast meaning in the artistic reserves of the new ‘“‘Mother Goose’s” ac- count of a certain marine adventure: Three young men of Gotham Went to sea In a bowl; The bowl was 0 strong. My song can’t be long. A capital thing in the book is Mr. Mighels’ up-to-date rhyming alphabet, with its capital hits upon problems of the day; and one of the best illustrations rep- resents the Tammany tiger, crook inhand, posing as Little Bo-peep, who Lost voting sheep, And couldn’t fell where to find them; They scattered away one election-day, Dragging their ballots behind them. Then the Bo-peep fell fast asleep And dreamed he heard them voting; When he awoke he found It & joke, And now up Salt River be’s boating. Lofty principle and brotherly love figure in the rhymes as the babes in the woods, who were ‘‘Stolen away on’a civ- ilized day” and left to perish, and Colum- bia is represented as the market-woman of the old soniwho fell asleep in the King’s hi bwafr. There came that way sundry political tricksters who ‘‘Cut her petticoats all 'rouna abour,” and the poor thing stands, her petticoats of prosperity, indus- try, financial security, cut off at her knees. She is in great distress, but, like her nur- sery prototype, has a bright thought and cries: Buti? The T, as T do hope I be, T've a dog, my Citizen, and he'll know me. It 1be 1, he'll wag o happy tail. And if T'be not I, he'il loudly bark and wail. But, alas! history repeats itself ! Home went the woman, all n the dark. Up got the Citizen and he began to bark; He began to bark and she began to cry «Lsuk &' mercy on me, this is none of 11" By all odds the best thing in the book is the new ‘‘House That Jack Built,” which, with its remarkable illustrations, appeare in the New York Herald a year or so ago. The house that Jack built s the Capitol at Washington and sundry English bank- ers and others are shown as rats, stealing from the treasure the golden “‘malt that lay in the house that Jack built.” The citizen cat observes them, but is worried by the treasury watchdog (Carlisle) and prevented from catching them. There is a real pathos in the two pictures, with their accompanying verses, that show the statue of “‘Liberty lighting the world” as “The maiden all forlorn,” and a crushed, heartbroken workman sitting beside his useless tools as The man all tattered and torn. Who loved the maiden all forlorn, ete. Mr. Mighels is his own publisher, but the Chips Company supplies the trade and the book is for sale in San Francisco by Doxey. DUTCE FICTION IN ENGLISH. To master a foreign tongue so perfectly as to be able to write an interesting and thoroughly readable novel therein is a dif- ficult undertaking, yet itis one in which Maarten Maartens, the Dutch writer, has succeeded. He has given us, moreover, in this newest of his books, “My Lady No- body,” a realistic picture of social life in modern Holland. To the average English reader Holland is suggestive of dikes and windmills, of immaculate, scrubbed side- walks and sleek, spotted cattle with trousers on their legs to keep off the flies, The Holland which Maarten Maartens shows us is thoroughly modern, cosmopol- itan and versatile. It is, nevertheless, na- tionflllfi characteristic. There breathes, throughout the book, the sturdy spirit that has withstood the sea that would override their kingdom and the German, French and Spanish in- fluences that have from time to time threatened to overwhelm Dutth language, literature and thought. Ursula Rovers, the heroine, whom one of the characters in the book sarcastically christens “My Lady Nobody,”” is the daughter of a sturdy, simple-minded, God-fearing Dutch pastor. She marries Otto, Baron von Helmont, and upon his death and. the circumstances under which she succeeds to his estate turns a story of intense dramatic and moral interest. The characterization of the novel is of a high order. The sterling integrity and noble simplicity of the Dutch dominie, the delicate intellectual brilliancy of the old Baron von Helmont, Otto’s father, who has impoverished him- self in the restoration of a Jurincely family estate, the overweening pride and the sub- lime courage of the aristocratic dowager are admirably done. The struggles of the plebeian Ursula, introduced, un- welcome, into this mighty family, and her herculean efforts to carry out her dead husband’s tremendous plans for saving the estate intact, fill the reader with admiration. She has no sympathy even from those in whose interest she struggles, and she nearly meets death at the hands of a pigheaded and ignorant peasantry. Gerard von Helmont, the graceful ne’er-do-weel, with his devotion to the idea of soldierly honor and his entire inability to keep out of scrapes, is just such a thoroughly lovable and thor- oughly lamentable fellow as one constant]; meets in real life. “My Lady Nobody” is not a great book; it isnot even the best one the author has written. But it is human and wholesome, and what phil- osophy it professes is along the lines laid down by the doughty dominie himself: “The world is not ruled by buman strength, forsooth, but by the power of God. In big things and little it is we who make trouble by not marching straight.”” [New York: Harper & Bros. For sale by Payot, Upham & Co., San Francisco.] “THE VEILED DOOTOR.” In this book Varina Anne Jefferson Davis has given & powerful tale of sufficient interest to carry, even without the addi- tional impetus of the author’s historic name. It is the story of a vain, wayward, frivolous Northern girl brought into an intensely conservative Southern village as the bride of the last scion of the town’s leading family. “To be Madame Wickford was to be at the head of such society as the town afforded; it was the apex of every well-bred girl’s hopes and the end of every mother's scheming.” may im- agined, when the last Madame Wick- ford refused to take her position seri- ously, ridiculed the town’s pet fossilized ideas and frankly regarded her new asso- ciates as a set of tiresome old fogies, trou- ble began to brew. She was not willfully bad, omly vain and light-minded, and vanity and light-mindedness lost her the love of her husband and the respect and companionship of her equals. Her hus- band is stricken with a loathsome malady, which compels him to veil his faceas he goes about his professionsl rounds.' He shuts his wife entirely out from his life, and she is completely ostracized in the town. Then her latent nobility of nature asserts itself, and when the doctor dies, at the last be- seeching her forgiveness, she becomes the ideal Madame Wickford of the commu- nity. The story, save for certain crudities of construction, 1s. exceedingly well told, and the Harpers have put it out in un- usually handsome form. [New York: Harper & Bros. For sale by Payot, Up- ham & Co., San Francisco.] FOUR GIRLS AT COTTAGE CITY. This book belongs to a class of stories which Pansy some years ago rendered popular in ber famous Chautauqua series. The *‘four girls” of the present tale, which is by “the author of ‘Magda,’" are not such ‘“good stuff”’ originally as Pansy’s girls always were. They are rather weak, commonplace and flirtatious, albeit the author has endowed them with aspirations and impulses that do not logically belong to girls of their apparent caliber. After the fashion of the approved ‘‘Pansy’’ model the girls become quite religious at Cottage City, do = tremendous amount of good and find exemplary husbands. It is possible that these things do happen in real life as it is lived in Chautauqua circles. If it does it must be very lovely indeed. There may be something in the semi- religious, ~hemi-literary, demi-scientific atmosphere that transforms underbred, slangy, feather-headed young men and women into models of elegant, discreet and self-sacrificing conduct when thrown together promiscuously in the freedom of unchaperoned and independent tent. and cottage life at a mammoth camp-meeting. At any rate we have had stories enough of this sort to make the real thing possible, if there is anthing in the new theory that nature works along the lines laid down by art. [Providence, R. I.: The Continental Printing Company.] ELBERT HUBBARD'S “LITTLE JOUR- NEYS.” Under the caption, ‘‘Little Journeys to the Homes of Good Men and Great,” G. P. Putnam’s Sons are issuing a series of bean- tiful little pamphlets by Elbert Hubbard. As the anthor explains in his preface, “Little Journeys'' does not claim to be a guide to the places described, nor a biog- raphy of the characters mentioned. They are, however, something other and better than either of these things. Mr. Hubbard is evidently a traveler of fine artistic per- ception and sympathetic insizht. The is- sues of his “Journeys'’ for June and July deal, respectively, with the homes of Vic- tor Hugo and of Wordsworth. They are records of delightful days and beautiful impressions stamped with the influence of the great men and good which they com- memorate. There is enough of personality in the records to make them real, but not enongh to make you feel that Mr. Hub- bard invites you to a chat with his own ego, masquerading as the defenseless dead author vs&xose home he visits. The pamph- lets are issued monthly, and are models of artistic t_vgography. [New York and Lon- don: G.P. Putnam’s Sons.] A NEW MONETARY SYSTEM. The author of this “system,” Edward Kellogg, was a prolific writer upon finan- cial problems half a century ago. He died in 1858, and the present volume is a re- vision from his work on labor and other capital, with additions from manuscripts left by him. The work has been done by his daughter, Mary Kellogg Putnam, and must be regarded as a labor of loving honor to the memory of her gifted father, rather than a specially noteworthy contri- bution to the literature of our vexed finan- cial problems. The greater part of Mr. Kellogg's book is an arraignment of in- terest and usury. Two per cent per annum he deemed too high a rate of interest, and he was not slow to declare that the oppression of labor by a monopoly of land was not so great as the oopression by high races of interest on money. His ideal financial system which his ‘editor hails as “‘the only means of securing the respective rights of labor and prop- erty” was a paper currency secured by bonds bearing interest, the currency to be issued by an institution called the National Bafety Fund, the amount of currency to be limited only by the wants of business. The modern conception .of the relations of labor and capital is greatly modified since Mr. Kelloge’s time, and many of his views which must when written have seemed radical in the extreme now repre- sent a very conservative element. [New York: The United States Book Com pany.] MERBRIE ENGLAND. An American edition, ‘“revised and adapted to American readers, by Alexander Harvey,” of Robert Blatchford’s famous papers on Socialism. As a terse, vigorous and practical setter forth of hard facts neither England nor America has, to-day, Robert Blatchford’s equal. The papers that make up this volume are addressed to the British workingman, and with keen sarcasm, mountainous statistics, stinging _rebuke and good-natured ridicule, does Mr. Blatchford lay the lash of common-sense over the British workingman’s back. He sets forth the vproblems of labor, past, present and future, in terms which he who B Tuns may read, and by similes the homeliest, allusions of the common- est sort, does he endeavor to show John Smith, the ‘“shrewd, hard-headed practical man” of the British political theorists who would lead him by the nose, that that nose is at the grindstone because he, John Smith, has been firmly persuaded that it is the “shrewd, hard-headed, prac- tical’” t.hin%; on his part, to keep it there. The English edition of ‘‘Merrie England” sold throughout Great Britain to the ex- tent of over half a million copies. Very few changes have been made in adaptin, it to the needs of American readers, an those relating principally to the reduction of pounds, shillings and pence to dollars and cents, etc. [E‘Iew York: The Hum- boldt Publishing Company.

A "CAPPER” CONVICTED. Another Is Served With a Warrant Charging Him With Obtaining Money by False Pretenses. Judge Conlan is determined to make an example of the ‘“‘cappers” who infest the City Hall and extort money by falsely rep- resenting themselves as officials connected with the Police courts and departments. Yesterday morning, Steve Vulocivich was convicted of vagrancy. He begged for a postponement of his sentence till his uncle, who, he said, is a man of wealth, reached the City. The Judge fixed Thursday next for sentence. Steve has served a three months’ sentence for the same offense, and will, in all probability, get the outside limit of six months this time. . A. Friealander, . ‘who demanded trial, appeared in court yesterday and asked for a continu- nother “cappe: ance until next Thursday, which was granted. Before he left the courtroom a warrant was served upon him charging bim with obtaining money by false pre- tenses. The complaining witness is Na- than Martin, a_prisoner in the County Jail, who is awaifing his trial before Judge Belcher on the felony charge of petty lar- ceny second offense. Martin alleges that on July 20 Fried- lander visited him at the jail and repre- sented himself as an atiorney. He told him that by reason of a ‘pull” he had upon Judge Belcher he could secure his re- lease on payment of a fee of $35. Martin gave him a retaining fee of $5, for which he got a receipt, and promised to pay him the balance of $30 later. DODGE DECLARED INSANE. The Young Man Who Tried to Kill Him- self Will Go to Ukiah. Arthur H. Dodge, the San Rafael young man who has made such persistent and re- peated attempts against his own life, and was joined therein by his mother, Mrs. Josephine H. Dodge, was taken before the Marin County Board of Insanity. Commis- sioners at 8an Rafael yesterday. They ex- aminea.him at some length, and came to the conclusion that he was not sufficiently, sane to be permitted to remain at large. The result was a commitment to the asy- lum. Dodge was taken back to the jail at the conclusion of the examination, and to- day will be conveyed to the asylum at Ukiah. Meanwhile Mrs. Dodge is being well taken care of, and is out of the range of im- mediate want. i — e —————— Weekly Mortuary Report, The Health Office reports 87 deaths for the week, against 101 for the carresponding week of last year.

Not Merely the Low Fee, but the Treatment Is Known to Be a Cer- taln and Speedy Curefor Chronic Diseases. ‘No, it was not the low rats a month for treatment, though I will admit that is an ob- ject these hard times, but it was the confidence that I could be cured that brought me here. You zee I had three different friends who had been treated here, and they were cured 5o nat- urally I knew I could be cured, too. The relief that a patient obtains from the treatment is worth mfuch more than the fee, to say nothing about the cure which is sure to follow.” The above remark was made by a former atient in the recevnon-flnlun at the Cope- and Medical Institute. He had been cured and had brought in a friend, to whom he was recommending the doctors. It is remarks like this which show wherein lies the remarkable success of Drs. Copeland, Nesl and Winn dur- 1n{ the past four years. The treatment is not only & certain cure, but is & speedy relief from the annoying symptoms of chronic diseases, and the low rate, $5 & month, including all necessary medicines, not only brings the treat- ment within the resch of all, but makes it quite an object these hard times.
