Of course, after you have made the more intimate acquaint- ence of Danny you will resent any hint that he is 2 “'mx dog.’ Without stretching the v of the situations Mr. Ollivant tes his hero to a higher plane than oght possible.

It is very unusual for a department of the Government to so recognize an in- dustrial organization and shows what a high position this organization has se- cured in governmental circles. The Na- tional Livestock Association is not yet five years of age and a glance over the pages of this annual report must astonish the reaGer at the vast amount of work being done by this young organization, In less than five years the livestock interests ©of the country have built up an associa- tion that has not only accomplished many important things for the industry it rep- resents, but has become a most poteat factor in local and national politics.

Ulrich Zwingli. While every other great leader of the Protestant Keformation has been duly commemorated in our language, it ap- pears that Ulrich Zwingii, the Swiss Re- former, has received but scant attention from Engish writers. By way of put- ting an end to that injustice, Samuel Simpson has compiled from original re- searches a convenient and interesting vol- ume giving not only a good biography of Zwingli, but an instructive review of the great events which made up the history of his time. The chief leaders in the great re- ligious movement were Luther in Ger- many, Knox in Scotland and Calvin among the French speaking Swiss. Mr. Simpson maintains that Zwingli deserves to rank with the greatest of these, and poinuts out that the lack of public renown in his case is due mainly to the fact that he lived remote from the great centers of the strife and carried out his work among the German Swiss cantons where his achievements were comparatively lit- tle noted. Mr, Simpson says: ‘It was the writer's conviction of the urgent need of a brief readable and authoritative life of Zwyingli in the English language that induced him to undertake the present work, and In the labor of composition he has endeavoured to keep steadily in mind the requirements of the general reader for whom the work is primarily designed.” The result is a book that can be read with profit by every one interested in the Reformation, or in the lives of earnest men who in any cause have been faith- ful to the truth as they saw it and stood for it against all forms of opposition and under the most trying circumstances. The sentiment that led to the Reformation was wide spread in Europe and was com- mon throughout all the northern coun- tries, consequently it is mot possible to fix either the time or the place of the be- ginning of the movement. Luther of course from his position in the German Empire and the ability with which he championed the cause holds the foremost place among the Reformers in public es- timation; but due credit should also be given to the equally earnest and perhaps even more influential labors of the Swiss Reformer. Mr, Simpson says: “It is not our pur- pose to draw any close comparison be- tween Luther and Zwingll, as to their personal characters or their respective places in the history of the Protestant church. To do so would be an injustice to both. A different work fell to the lot of each, and each was greatest in his own AN CLe rrrow RUIrXorTrs on » IR I TS eceaces ; F‘?/‘JNAMT s -4 The illustrations on this page are from ‘“Danny,” by Alfred Ollivant.

Hg was the first to assert the supremacy of conscience, instructed by the word of God, over the decrees of Popes and councils, and is therefore justs ly entitled to the first place among the bonored company of reformers. But if we compare his work geographically with that of the Swiss Reformers, of whom Zwingli was the leader, we shall find that the preponderance of influence ex- erted on the world is greatly on the side of the Bwiss. Lutheranism as a system Las not attained any great hold outside of Germany. On the other hand, the Re- formed doctrines have extended westward and northward into France, Holland, England, Scotland and thence across the - sea,” The life of such a man is well worth the study of the gencral reader, as well, as of those who make a special study of rchigious guestions. Mr. Simpson writes from the standpoint of an extreme parti- san on his hero. He looks upon Zwingli as a man raised up by providence to do a divinely appointed task in the wo ! The zeal of the suthor helps to make tie book Interesting, for it has enabled him to put no small amgunt of vigor and vitality into the old Lygone issues, in the solution of which Zwingll took so earnest apart. . “Ulrich Zwingli, the Swiss Patriot and Reformer.” By Samue! Simpson. The Baker & Taylor Company, New York. Wayfarers in Italy. Charles Scribner's Sons, New York, are publishing a new cdition of Katharine Hooker's “Wayfarers in Italy,” a book that by its charm deserves a place in every Hbrary of travel. It is a record of the impressions of a discriminating trav- eler who unites a subtle appreciation of the art, history and scenery of Italy with”™ a sympathetic comprehension of the spirit and -genius of a people whose essential kindliness of nature and simple thorough- golng democracy, as well as whose innate feeling for art, she brings out chiefly by illuminating sidelights and susgestive in- cident. Her leisurely journgy is from the plains of Lombardy, through Milan, Florence, Rome and Abruzai, across the Apennines and up the shore of the Adriatic to Ven- ice, more often seeking her facts and in- spiration in the unfrequented regions lying on either side her course. She dis- cusses her sublect under these headings: On the Lombard Pla(‘." Sojourning in Florence,” “Driving ‘Through Tus- cany,” “April in the Marches,” *In the Abruzzi,” “Roman Excursions,” ‘“Monte Cassino and Ravelo,” ‘““The Heart of Um- bria,” ‘‘Across the Apennines,” “The Ehore of the Adriatic,” “Siena and the Pallo,” “Towered Citles"” and ‘‘Venice.” Famous Composers. Thomas Y. Crowell & Co., New York, have published a special holiday edition of ‘‘Famous = Composers,” by Nathan Haskell Dole, that is one of the most at- tractive and useful holiday gifts for the book lover that has come to our notice. These two volumes deal with the lives of twenty world musicians. Not alone to musicians would they be acceptable, but to general readers who can find interest in the life stories of men who really have lived and conquered. The fact that the narratives are true need not militate against this Interest: and many of the stories are stranger than romance. Their telling, also, does not partake of the dust of a blographical dictionary, but rather the clear air which the artists themselves once breathed. p The list of composers considered begins with Palestrina and ends with Wagner. Great care was exercised in verifying facts and dates, and the sketches may be relied upon to be accurate as well as en- Joyable. The two volumes contaln forty full-page portraits and illustrations. The set is printed and bound in a manner highly ap- preciated by music lovers and book lovers alike. Published in two volumes, 12mo., 560 pages, gilt top, per set $3. How to Be a Yogi. The Vedanta Society, New York, has Just Issued a new book in their series of Vedanta Phiicsophy. This addition is “How to Be a Yogi,” by Swami Abheda- nando—the Hindoo monk—who has suc- ceeded the Swaml Vivekananda as the head of the Vedanta Soclety in New York. A year ago the Swami paid us a visit here on the Pacific Coast and lec- tured before the University of California. The object of the present volume is thus explained in the preface: _‘'The Vedanta Philosophy includes the Gifferent branches of the sclence of Yoga. Four of these have already been treated at length by the Swami Vivekananda In his works on ‘Raja Yoga,’ ‘Karma Yoga,’' ‘Bhakti Yoga' and ‘Jnana Yoga,' but there existed no short and consecutive survey of the science as a whole. It is to meet this need that the present volume has been written. In an introductory chapter are set forth the true province of religion and the full significance of the word ‘spir- ituality,’ as it is understood in India, Next follows a comprehensive definition of the term ‘Yoga,' with short chapters on each of the five paths to which it is epplied and their respective practices. An exhaustive exposition of the science of breathing and its bearing on the high- il b e Sy est spiritual development shows the fun. damental physlological principles on which the whole training of Yoga is based, while a concluding chapter, under the title “Was Christ a Yogi? makes plain the direct relation existing between the lofty teachings of Vedanta and the re- liglous faiths of the West.” The book has been kept comparatively free from technical and Sanskrit terms, 80 the work will prove easily understood even by those nct already versed in the philosophy. Stepping Stones.' The Lothrop Publishing Company, Bos- ton, has just issued a new book by Orison Swett Marden that deserves fully as much consideration as the same author's other works in his excellent serles of “‘Suecess Books.” Dr. Marden's new volume of es- says, ‘“‘Stepping-Stones,”” has the attrac- tive qualities made familiar to a large audience of readers by his earlier books. At the same. time it is entirely new in contents and most helpful and enhearten- ing in character. It contains talks to young people of both sexes full of practi- cal valug, happy sketches of great char- acters, salient suggestions on deportment and conduct and shréwd advice of all kinds touching every-day living. The author’s wide knowledge of history and literature is used to give the essays at- mcsphere and quality, and no Success buok of the series is more emngaging and wholesorue than ‘‘Stepping-Stones.” Price §L Cicero. The American Book Company, New York, issues “‘Price’s Cicero's Laelius de Amicitia,” edited by Clifton Price, Ph D., instructor in Latin in the University of California—price 75 cents. The student wiil find in this edition ampie assistance for the understanding andsthe' interpretation of the Laelius. It contains enough elementary matter for the best preparatory schools, and enough advanced matter for the first year of col- lege. The notes are very full, devollng speeial attentlon to those subjects in which students are generally deficient. The editor has throughout taken pains to train the student to observe for himself the peculiarities of the language which are characteristic not only of the Laelius, but of ail classical Latin. The introduc- tion discusses the author, the sources, style and form of the work, and the pe sanages of the dialogue. A complete in- dex refers to both the notes and the in- troduction. Daniel Webster. John Bach McMaster, author of “A His- tory of the People of the United States,’ and one of the most popular and widely read of American historians, is now the author of a bodk on Daniel Webster. This volume shows Webster in all the phases of his private and political life. The au- thor is & man accustomed to go to origi- nal sources for information, and his work bears the stamp of individuality and freshness. The personal side of Webster's life, the half-hidden motives, the little weak- nessgs, all of them factors fn the molding of Webster's character, are fully covered; but special attention is given to his politi- cal career and to the men and events that combined to make him loom so large on our national horizon at the time when the question of slavery was beginning to agitate the country. Webster's encounter with Hayne, his brilliancy as an ex- pounder of the constitution, and later his encounter with Calhoun, are graphically described. The two final chapters deal with Web- ster's longings for the Presidency and the event of his famous “seventh of March” speech in the Senate, known as “The Con- stitution and the Union,” and his re-entry into the Cabinet as Fillmore's Secretary of State. His last and futile attempt to secure the nomination for the Presidency forms a pathetic and fitting climax to this biography. The book is 8vo., 343 pages, with 23 full-page illustrations and son, “Alice of Old index; price, $2 net; and is published by the Century Company. New York. Far Past the Frontier. “Far Past the Frontler,”” by James Braden, has no special merit to commend it. The story is about two Connecticut boys, who turn Indian traders. They pen- etrate the country of the Delawares, have the usual stock adventures among the savages, and finally reach home after a successful season. (The Saalfieild Pub- lshing Company, Akron, Ohio.

Mark Twain’s original in his books is Tom Sawyer, not Huck Finn, and Mr. Clemens himself is the authority for this statement. The Bowen-Merrill Company has pre- pared handsome new editions of some ol its conspicuously successful fiction.
