Long words are mainly useful for defining delicate shades of meaning. But little words of one syllable contain whole worlds of food for thought Take half a dozen words at random life, love, truth, hope, peace, light What boundless significance crowds into each of these words Or take that grand word Home, and in that you have an unlimited sea of blessed meanings, whose crystal tides wash all the shores of earth, and whose happy experiences serve as a beautiful symbol of that happier land that lies beyond the shores of time.

Kee has been compelled to Bell his milk A "Man through all ages of evolving time, Unchanging man in every varying clime, Deems his own land of every land the pride, Beloved of heaven o'er all the world beside: His home, the spot of earth supremely blest, A dearer, sweeter spot than all the rest." The home is the pulse of the nation. No nation can ever be greater than its homes. The resources of a land may be boundless.

There may be wealth of gold and silver in its mines, there may be unborn cities sleeping in its quarrieforests rich in timber, prairies waving with golden corn, and untold treasures in its inland seas but all this material wealth would be a source of danger and peril but for the love of law and order developed by that marvelous institution, the home. Everything that helps build up the home helps build up the nation. The homes of all men are more to be desired than they were a generation ago. Our homes of today are palaces of taste and culture even among the lowliest toilers compared with what they were a generation ago. The piano or the organ now has a place of honor.

The book-shelf has given place to the book-case, and the handful of books has changed into a library. There are no grander signs of a nation's growth than the growth of the value and beauty, the happiness and culture, of the home. The builders of the home build the nation. 'There are no homes in any nation under heaven that can compare with our American homes, and whoso helps to enrich them is doing the nation and coming ages noble service. These better conditions bring new necessities in their train.

The home that has changed its handful of books for a library needs as an indispensable aid a first-class, reliable, and exhaustive Dictionary. The more one uses books the more one becomes aware of this want. Hitherto this luxury of literature has been too expensive for every home. The grand opportunity of obtaining the best, completest dictionary in existence, The American Encyclopedic CRITICISMS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS. About Books and Mav.izinea, Authors and Publishers, What is Out, What ls Coming-, and What is Promised Some Interesting Literary Gossip.

"Ferlycross," R. D. Blackmore's new novel, is published by Harper Brothers this week. Those who read Prof. Dolbeare's "Matter, Ether and Motion," when issued a year or so ago, will be interested to know that a new edition with much additional matter is nearly ready, to be issued shortly by Lee and Shepard.

That practical fisherman and interesting writer on piscatorial subjects, John Har rington Keeue, has prepared "The Boys' Own Guide to Fishing, Tackle Making and Fish Breeding," and Lee and Shepard are preparing to bring it out in season for the vacation days. Captain Julius A. Palmer, the well-known Hawaiian correapendent, has for many years made a study of the esculent and poisonous qualities of mushrooms, and the result of his investigations are soon to be given to the public through the house of Lee and Shepard. The very beautiful poem "Voices," by Ruth McEncry Stuart, which is published in Harper's Bazar this week, will also be included in a volume of sketches and poems with the title, "Carlotta's Intended and Other Stories," which the Harpers announce for early publication. Baron Xils Posse before leaving for Europe completed the revision of his "Educational Gymnastics" which will be issued at once by Lee and Shepard under the title of "Special Kinesiology of Educational Gymnastics." It will be the most complete work on the subject in the English language.

In her new novel, "A Modern Magdalene," Virna Woods is said to portray some phases of the social evil with great skill and realism and in such a manner as will undoubtedly cause the work to be widely read and discussed. The book will be issued by Lee and Shepard in an attractive style. Readers of the daily and weekly papers are all interested in the dialect verse of Sam Walter Foss, but probably few are aware that a volume containing much of his best work has been published. A new edition of it, entitled "Back Country Poems," is announced as nearly ready by Lee and Shepard. William T.

Adams (Oliver Optic) has engaged his passage for his annual trip to Europe about July 1st. Mr. Adams has been at work until recently on the new volume of the "AU-Over-the-World Library" entitled "Up and Down the Xile," and having completed the story, means to recuperate by a short sojourn abroad. In the eleventh chapter of "A Traveler from Altruria," which Harper Brothers issue this week in book form, W. D.

How-ells writes of a power in the state that "had always bought tho law it needed for its own use, first through the voter at the polls in tho more primitive days, and then, as civilization advanced, in the legislatures and the courts." The whole passage in which this sentence occurs is of striking contemporaneous interest. Volume Xew Series, of the Century Illustrated Monthly Magpzane embraces the contents from Xovember, 1893, to April, 1894. As usual the big book is handsomely bound and makes a library of varied and high-class reading matter. The contributions include Mark Twain's serial, a number of papers by Lowell, a poem by Emerson, important Lincoln articles, valuable art articles by leading critics, and dozens of papers and poeiife by noted authors, together with pictorial features much enhancing the beauty and interest of the magazine. The Century Company publish this volume for $3.

The discussion of the report of the Committee of Ten will be continued in the June Educational Review, in which it will be treated from the standpoint of the private school, by Julius Sachs. The same number will contain articles on Public School Reform in Xew York, by Stephen H. Olin, A School Journey by C. C. Van Liew, Latin in.

the High School by Francis W. Kelsey, the second paper on History in Secondary Education by Ray Greene Huling, "Phor-mio at Harvard, by Frederick G. Ireland, and Graduate Work in the College, by James M. Taylor. Published by Henry Holt Xew York City.

Among recent short stories, the best appear to fall into one or the other of two distinctive classes; for they are either designed for private and silent reading and call for frequent pauses and reiteration to extract all of the evasive subtle flavor, or they are friendly and friend-making such that they gain value from the quick laugh or the impulsive applause that rewards some happy turn in the thought. The "Pastime Stories" by Thomas Xelson Page belong to the latter class; they should be read aloud, or told and twice-told; and the collection just issued by Harper Brothers is dedicated by the author, it will be noticed, not to good story-readers, but to "All good story-tellers." Mrs. Steel, author of "The Potter's Thumb," which is soon to be published by Harper Brothers, has most intimate and exceptional knowledge of Hindu life and social conditions in India. It is hot too much to say that comparison with her handling of these themes makes the treatment of them by other authors even Mr. Rudyard Kipling seem superficial.

The difference lies here: that Mrs. Steel's point of view in dealing with the natives is the native point of view, while other writers have felt themselves to belong to another order of things, and have mixed with their observation more or less of European prejudice. Mrs. Steel views the world as the Hindu views it, having India in the foreground. As befits the season, the June Atlantic has a restless air about it.

A record of a summer spent in the Sicilies by Dr. J. W. White, the eminent Philadelphia physician, is followed by a shipwreck-suggesting poem, "The Gravedigger," by Bliss Carman; Mr. Stoddard Dewey writes of "The End of Tortoni's." the famous Parisian cafe, closed year ago; Dr.

Albert Shaw explains how Hamburg learnt her lessoa even before the cholera struck her, and now is one of the most perfectly protected cities; Mrs. Ca-vazza gives a bright account of the marionette theater in Sicily; Professor Manatt completes his excursion ''Behind Hymet-tns," and Mr. Frank Bolles continues his Charles Scribner's Sons have almost finished their removal from 743 and 745 Broadway to their new building, built of white limestone and graceful with classic simplicity, on the east side of Fifth avenue, between Twenty-first and Twenty-second streets. There were 300,000 books, at least, to be packed in trays and boxes, besides the manuscripts, letters, and accounts of a business of fifty years. The wholesale department was reduced in the old building to the estimated proportion of books which it might be necessary to deliver for two or three weeks, the old manuscripts were placed in separate safes, and gradually the retail department was limited Jto the demands of a day, until the old building was like a desert and the new one was as well furnished as if it had been gradually furnished for a decade.

The removal lasted a month, and was executed with so much order, with such method, that the mistakes which were made were insignificant, and that of ail the delicately beautiful volumes which were transferred from the old building to the new missals, books of hours, incunabula, bindings of the old masters, and of Cobden-Sanderson, new editions in covers fresh as the lilacs of May not one was even imperceptibly damaged. Xot one! The book lovers, who keep their treasures in eiderdown and dread a removal more than the other enemies of books enumerated by Blades, will be interested in the fact that the most extraordinary books of Scribner's were packed in open boxes but they were packed by the young men who know them, and they were under constant surveillance in the fifteen blocks of their voyage. The Inventor of the Gatllng Gun. Richard Jordan Gatling, the inventor of the famous gun, resides at Hartford, but pays frequent visits to Gotham. He is now an old man of seventy-four, with snow white hair and a calm, clean shaven face.

He was born in Xorth Carolina, and while yet a boy assisted his father in perfecting a machine for sowing cotton seed, and another for turning out cotton plants, and subsequently invented one for sowing rice. He was anticipated by Ericsson in the discovery of screw propulsion, 'but his ingenuity was successfully shown in devising a machine for sowing wheat in drills. This was in 1844. Three years later he took up the study of medicine in Connecticut, but subsequently removed to Indianapolis, where he engaged in railroad enterprises and real estate speculation. In 1850 he invented a double-acting hemp weaver, and in 1861 produced his masterpiece, a mitrailleuse or repeating machine gun.

At its first trial the gun fired 200 shots a minute, but he has gone, on elaborating it ever since until now it fires something like 1,200 shots in the same space of time. Xew York Advertiser. Dceoration Day at the Falls. Only 50 cents round trip via. Erie.

An interesting account is given in the Illustrated American for May 26, of "War on Wheels," of which the writer says: "The wheel in modern warfare will become the swift-moving bishop on the military chessboard, endowed with a power to go back as well as progress." Mr. Xorton's attractive article, "The King's Sundials," is "A curious description of Charles method of making visible to the eye many things belonging to geography, astrology, and astronomy." The essays this week on authors and books, which in this issue makes its final appearance, are especially good, as also are "Through a Sugar Refinery," "At the Paris Salon," "Larking Over Fences," and "Fencing at the Racquet Club," all four of which aro superbly illustrated. The United States of America, an important work which has long been in course of preparation by D. Appleton is on the eve of publication. It is to be a picture of the American Commonwealth as it is today, an aggregation of careful studies of Its natural resources, its industries, and commerce, and its work in education, literature, and the arts.

Thus the work will contain material for which special publications, encyclopedias, and histories would ordinarily have to be consulted, and it will give the results of expert study, resembling in a way a map in literary form of the United States of to-day. Distinguished specialists have contributed accounts of the achievements of our country in various fields, and these have been brought together under the editorship of Prof. X. S. Shaler.

The work is to be in two large volumes, handsomely illustrated. It is to be sold by subscription. Outing for June is in text and illustration fully up to the high standard maintained by this popular magazine. The contents are as follows: "The Cruse of the Winkleys," by Anne R. Talbot; "Romance of a Dry Ranch," by E.

Barnard Foote; "Hunting with Patagonia Welshmen," by "The Master Mariner;" "In the Land of the Breadfruit," by F. M. Turner; "A Woman in Camp," by Mary R. Andrews; "The Birch-bark Canoe," by Eugene McCarthy; "Hints for Amateur Sailormen," by A. J.

C. B. Hall, and the usual editorials, poems, records, etc. Scribner's Magazine for June contains an article by John Heard, which, for the first time in assessible form in English, tells the tragical story of "Maximilian and Mexico" in the light of many documents which have recently heen published in France. This dramatic recital of an episode which the writer calls "one of Xapoleon's Day-Dreams," gives, in that picturesque style which the author has shown in his stories, a perfectly clear account of the event from its conception to the execution of Maximilian.

The inside history of the part played by the United States, the author thinks, will probably never be thoroughly known because there were few documents and the real instructions were given by word of mouth by men who have passed away. Mr. Heard's narrative is enriched with a series of striking pictures by Mar-chetti and Gilbert Gaul. Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett, with her wonderful power of depicting child life and her sympathy with it in suffering as well as in pleasure, has written "The Story of a Beautiful Thing," in which she tells of the rise and' growth of a touching London charity officially known as "The Invalid Children's Aid Association," which is devoted to making life pleasanter for those little incurables who have been given up by the hospitals as hopeless and returned to their miserable homes.

Most of the yonng people are happy now for the June number of St. Xichoias is around. It has a large fund of both amusement and instruction for them, told in story and rhyme. The young reader pauses on the very first page and follows the ballad of "The Saga of Olaf the Young," to the very end. It tells how a little Xorwegian lad swam across the bay and saved his father's vessel from the enemy.

The frontispiece is a design of "June Roses" by Frank French. The serial of American navv life follows the adventures of "Decatur and Somers" yet further at Tripoli. There is a bright account of a midshipman's trick. "Jack Ballister" is continued. "The Little Dryad" is a pleasing woodland fancy, almost a fairy tale, by Mary L.
