The author touches upon the rise and decline of well-known doctrine of laissez-faire, then devotes considerable ism and the philosophy of he space to a consideration of modern, socialdeclares, evinces a grasp of the present situation to which few of his critics have attained. Marx's conception of society as it should be he claims to be a condition in which the laws that have operated from the beginning should suddenly be interrupted and finally suspended. But the state toward which we are traveling is not one in which these laws will be suspended.

are moving, and shall merely continue to move by orderly stages to the goal toward which the face of society has in reality been set from the beginning of our civilization." The next step of the author's argument brings us within sight of that goal. It is an amazing step, which he indicates by the postulate that our human evolution is not primarily intellectual, but religious in character. Since the revival of learning in Europe, he declares, there has been a clear tendency to compare the intellectual development of the old civilizations, as the Greeks, with ours, to the disparagement of the latter. This, while is justly conceded that our civilization is the highest in kind and degree that the human race has so far reached. Judged the standard of intellectual development alone, we of the modern European races have, in fact, no claim whatever to consider ourselves in advance of the ancient Greeks, all the extraordinary progress and promise of the modern world to the contrary.

The author sees it as the teaching of evolutionary science that there is only one way in which the rationalistic factor in human evolution can be controlled, namely, through the instrumentality of religious systems. Under a rationalistic regime, even should Herbert Spencer's dream of the perfect civilization realized, there will be nothleft for that civilization but decay. Just what ultimate fate awaits the social order under a religious system, or even what that religious system is to be, the author does not discuss. There are, he shows, two great events to be accomplished in the twentieth century. First, the Western peoples will arrive at a social development under which men shall enter upon the rivalry of life on conditions of social equality.

Then these peoples will proceed to fill up the rest of the inhabitable globe, by virtue of racial superiority, the absorbing tendency toward other (inferior) races, always held in check by the altruistic spirit. In this way, he states, England has opened up India, Egypt other countries to the world. So must Africa, Central and South America and the other lands yet unoccupied by the Western civilization. The conclusion of the whole matter, as outlined by the author, seems lamentably weak, resting upon the splendid premises in the earlier chapters, but the book as a whole is one of the most remarkable contributions we have to the economic literature of the age. While it is not, as has been claimed for it, "an epoch-making book," it is a valuable collaboration of facts upon social progress, and is unequaled in the fairness, the liberality and foresightedness with which it treats, even while discarding as inutile, the modern socialistic movement.

York and London: Macmillan Co. For sale by the Dodge Book and Stationery The New Woman. The picture of "The New Woman," as portrayed by E. Lynn Linton in the character of Barrington, is not an attractive one. Just why a woman's intense interest in the principles of "woman's rights" and her devotion to that cause should rob her of every spark of womanly feeling it is hard to conceive.

It seems that the picture must be very much overdrawn. Certain it is that in Barthere is not one redeeming quality. daughterly, wifely or motherly affection she shows not a trace. Condensed selfishness and egotism her essential characteristics. As a daughter, her only regret, standing by the couch of her dying mother, is that she has been called out of a cold, disagreeable night to.

witness a scene that is distasteful to her. She "hated" to see painful things. and it was a bore to be roused from her luxurious bed at this unearthly hour. As a wife, she meets with disdain her husband returning from Africa filled with ideal visions of home. Her greetings, instead of love and tenderness after long years of separation, are insult and vituperation.

As a mother, she neglects her child and even thinks its existence a personal cause of grievance. These are a few of the phases of that degraded character which fill the soul of a sensitive reader with dismay and disgust. Her associates are creatures of the same stamp. As is the leading spirit disagreeable traits shine forth more plainly in her than in her satellites. Among the excelsiorites there is not one that is pleasant to contemplate, notwithstanding the beauty of face and forma which some were said to possess.

The is filled only with thoughts of their unwomanly attributes. Those two ignoble personages, Guy Delcroix and Armand Norris, are pictured as devoted advocates of the burning question of the day, who leave their neglected wives and children entirely out of the question as things too insignificant for them to bother their weighty brains about. These two add some variety to the scene, though it cannot be said to be a very satisfactory variety. The contented and peaceful Armytages afford a pleasing contrast to all this artificiality and shallowness. The occasional glimpses of them that we catch seem like strains of sweetest melody interspersed within a jargon of.

discordant sounds. These glimpses are all too few for the welfare of the book and the reader. Even apparent conversion at the eleventh hour fails to soothe, for one feels that if her props hade not given way beneath her and had felt in doubt which way to turn, her half-hearted turning to the right would never have taken place. However, in the last chapter are shown the first flutterings of an awkward conscience in and even some faint signs of a dawning wifely and maternal love. So one closes the book with the hope that having profited by her experience and having seen the errors and unsatisfying hollowness of public life, may find in the quiet, respectable life of a country gentleman's wife a higher sphere of usefulness than she ever had been able to imagine the or appreciate; that Sherrard may in end have at least a semblance of that happy domestic life which he so much craved and which he so richly deserves, and that little Euphemia may enjoy some of that motherly tenderness which she seemed destined to never know.

York: The Merriam Company. For sale by Payot, Upham Thoughts on Religion. This little volume has been arranged by Charles Gore, M.A., from papers left by the late Professor George John Romanes, the author of "Darwin and After Darwin" and of the "Examination of Weismannism." While primarily a biologist, Professor Romanes, like most thinkers, was actively interested in the modern problems of metaphysics and theology, and at the time of his death, which occurred last summer, was engaged in arranging the details of the volume for which this is an editor's substitute. There are two complete essays on the influence of science upon religion, and the balance of the book is made up of notes for a work in a candid examination of religion. They are for the most part notes of the most discursive sort, oftentimes mere skeletons of ideas, interesting more perhaps as showing a scientist's method of work than for any logical sequence of thought.

Admirers of the professor will, however, be glad that they have been preserved. The Open Court Publishing A Government Class-Book. This is a particularly timely work, now that a knowledge of at least the principles of political economy is becoming so essential among intelligent people. The writer is Andrew Young, whose "American NEW BOOKS REVIEWED Paul Verlaine. Stone Kimball's announcement of a forthcoming translation of the poems of Paul Verlaine brings to American notice a poet who, save in Paris and among a certain literary few of London, has heretofore been practically unknown.

Verlaine is now something above 50 yeare of age. His is undeniably one of the most poetic souls this century has seen, but if fame finds him during his lifetime it must be quickly, for there are not many years left to him. He is a great invalida terrible sufferer life of late years has been intimate acquaintance with hospital wards and almost unbearable pain. He would say of himself, perhaps, that his sufferings are merited, for Verlaine is pre-eminently a sinner who has repented. His life has been one series of yieldings to temptation, of falling, to rise only again to fall into the most dreadful morass of strange vices into which, surely, any sane being ever plunged.

He even, years ago, spent two years in prison for the tempt to murder, his closest friend and boon companion -that other almost unknown French poet, Arthur Rimband, the marvelous boy whose early life he ruined, and who, now, in a convent on the shores of the Red Sea, expiates the years of sin into which Verlaine led him. Verlaine, too, has of late spent several years in retreat at the Chartreuse of Monseeking the salvation of his soul. He is a firm believer in every tenet of the church, but has apparently no talent for the practice of its precepts. In the light of, any knowledge whatever Paul Verlaine at Home. of his life his exquisite verse cannot but incite to wonder.

Whether one reads the somewhat schooled, but unmistakably poetic words of his brilliant and promising youth, the plaintive beauty into which his later genius wove the musical cadences of the esthetical, French language, or the passionate, mystic religious ecstasies of his latest verse, the impression the same--the soul there speaking is the soul of a poet; a poet, too, a marvelous power over the language in which he works. In his and Opinions" George Moore given us a terrible glimpse of this poet. He says: "I once saw Verlaine. I shall not forget the glare of the bold, prominent forehead, the cavernous eyes, the macabre expression burnt-out lust smoldering upon his face." Here is his description of how they reached the poet's home in Paris: "We got into an omnibus and then we got into a train. Then we took a cab, and I believe we had to take another train.

We at last penetrated into a dim and eccentric region that I had never heard of before; we traversed curious streets. We penetrated musty-smelling and clamorous courtyards, in which lingered Balzacian concierges; we climbed slippery staircases upon which doors stood wide open. In a dark corner, at the end of a narrow passage situated at the top of the last flight of stairs we discovered a door. knocked. A voice made itself heard.

We entered and saw Verlaine. The terrible forehead, bald prominent, was half covered by a filthy nightcap. and a nightshirt full of the grease of the bed covered his shoulders; a stained and discolored pair of trousers were hitched somehow about his waist. He was drinking wine at 16 sous the litre. He told us that he had just come out of the hospital; that his leg was better, but it still gave him a great deal of pain." Moore and his friend had come for a sonpet, which the poet had promised the latter.

Verlaine was working upon it, and he told them in the grossest language the abominations which he had included in it. They went away in despair. The sonnet, received next day, was one of exquisite and lofty beauty. That is the mystery--the wonder of this mysterious wonderful man. He is purely a poet.

He has apparently height, the depth of religious feeling, yet his life, his surroundings, his conversation are such that the is all that is possible to borne. merest glimpse the merest glimpse To afford the a glimpse of the man's thought we give following (purposely) literal translation of one of his sonnets. No translation, literal or otherwise, can give the exquisite cadence of the original: God said to me: My son, thou must love me; thou seest My pierced offended side, my feet heart beaming and bleeding, And my that Madeline bathed With tears, and my arms aching under the weight Of thy sins, and my hands! And thou seest the cross, Thou seest the nails, the gall, the sponge--and all teach thee To love, in this bitter world where flesh reigns, Only my flesh and my blood, my word and my voice. Did I not love thee unto death? Ob, my brother in my Father; oh, my son in the Spirit; And have I not suffered, as it was written? I not groaned in that supreme anguish? Have I not sweat out the sweat of the night? Sorrowful friend, who seekest me where I am.

Social Evolution. That a Chicago house which generally deals in sentimental literature should consider it worth while to issue a reprint of such a book as "Kidd's Social Evolution" is a significant commentary upon the eagerness with which the English-reading public is holding its cup to the fountain of economic knowledge. Not to be outdone, Macmillan Co. have put out a paper edition of the book, with a new preface by the author, and propose to sell the new volume at 25 cents, although it is difficult to perceive how they are able to do this without a direct and heavy loss. That book should have such great and widespread popularity must be a matter of surprise to one who has not noticed the trend of the times.

Half a dozen years ago the people who would have cared for it might have numbered a few hundred. Today the book is having an attention that has been given to no work on social economy since the first publication of "Gronlund's Co-operative Commonwealth." Nothing could be greater than the difference between these two books. They approach the question of human destiny from opposite standpoints, and argue it to radically different conclusions. Yet the same people who a few years ago were enthusiastic over the one are now equally enthusiastic the other. In tracing the progressive steps of social evolution the author notes that while the conviction exists that a definite stage in the evolution of Western civilization is drawing to a close, and that we are entering upon a Resented yet there is apparently a complete of any clear indication Statesmen" and "Citizen's Manual of Govbooks of somewhat similar trend.

from those who speak in the name of science and authority as to the direction in which the path of future progress lies, Even our scientific teachers are silent. Having traced the the evolution of life up to human society, science now stands dumb before the problems presented bert Spencer, whose "Synthetic Philososociety as it exists to Even Herphy" was to have sned light upon the great problems of human destiny, has really been SO little able to accomplish any practical reading of the riddle that his investigations and conclusions, according as they are dealt with by one side or the other, lead up to the opinions of the two diametrically opposite camps of individualists and collectivists into which society is separating. In Germany in France those to whom we turn for light have proven equally unable to throw any certain illumination upon the future. People and leaders are alike without faith, for there is, in reality, no science of human society. To many the spirit of the French Revolution, which caused so universal a feeling of unrest at the end of the last century, seems to be again.

loosed, and, after an epoch of progress unexampled in the history of the world, we would appear to have returned to the ideals of society which moved men's minds at that period of upheaval. We have, however, little in common with that past season of unrest. We have, in reality, entered upon a new stage of social evolution, in which the minds of men are moving toward other goals. The fruits of an industrial revolution are demanding our attention. The world is becoming unified.

An organization with a nervous system of 5,000,000 miles of telegraph wires and an arterial system railways and steamships is a different factor from the aggregate of isolated communities of even 100 years ago. One of the most striking figures of the times is the spectacle of Demos, enfranchised, recognized, emerging from the long silence of social and political serfdom. Another significant feature of the 1 new order is, the tendency growing within the churches to assert that religion has to do with the present as well as the future; that Christianity was intended to save not men, but man, to teach us not only how to die, as individuals, but how to live, as society. Still another remarkable sign of the times is the widespread revolt among all classes against the political economy of Adam Smith, Ricardo and Mill. The time is ripe for a new formation of social science by the biologist, who, having established law and order in the lower branches of his subject, carried us up to human society, and there left us without a guide.

He must carry the methods of his science on to where deals with the phenomena of The life under its last and most complex aspect. This brings the author to a consideration of the conditions of human progress. He traces the evolution of man from the brute, feebly his own against fierce competitors, up through the ages until he finds him master of the earth and organized into society. He finds, with Professor Flower, that progress has been due to the opportunity of those individuals who are a little superior in some respect to their fellow's, to assert that superiority and to continue it to their descendants. In a word progress depends upon selection, ceaseless stress and competition.

Other things being equal, the wider the range of selection the keener will be the rivalry, and the more rigid the selection greater the progress. From this stress of nature rises the highest forms we can conceive. The law of progress as stated is inevitable, but in man occur two modifying elements and the capacity for organization. While thus stating the conditions of progress the author frankly avows that he finds no rational sanction for these con; ditions. In other words, that any organization of society with a system rewards according to natural ability can have no ultimate sanction in reason for all the individuals.

His welfare in this life is as important to the ungifted as to the gifted, and any regulation under which the former will fare worse than the latter must ultimately, however we may obscure it, be brute force, pure and simple. Thus, while showing that the evolution scientist can readily prove that the hopes of modern socialism are incompatible with the ultimate interests of a progressive society, he still admits it as evident that it would be to the personal, immediate interests of the masses, who are now inevitably predestined to hardship and poverty, to immediate end to existing social conditions. He flatly contravenes the teachings of certain the later social economists, that the interests of the individual can ever become identical with the interests of society. The ultimate aim of society is of the individual well beingwhich society in its march of progress must oftentimes ignore, even to the extent of crushing out the individual altogether. Strange to say, man's reason, which has apparently given him the power to suspend the conditions of progress, for the good of the individual, has never operated for out this has been suspension.

such His conduct throughas reason sanction. To explain this phenomenon is only possible in the light of what Mr. Kidd terms the central feature of human history-religion. A religion defines as "a form of belief providing an ultrarational sanction for that of conduct in the individual where his interests and the interests of the social organism are antagonistic, and by which the former are rendered subordinate to the latter in the the race is undergoing." Thus it is belief general interests of the, evolution which in a supernatural power, obedience to a higher spiritual law, that keeps the individual in the attitude of subordinating his interest to that of society. The belief in a future life shall be better than this keeps the individual patient.

It furnishes him an ultra-rational, a supernatural sanction for irrational, unnatural conduct. Two chapters are devoted to a consideration of Western civilization and the progress the conflict capitalism industrialism. The beginning of the Christian era saw the birth into the world of a new force of immeasurable social significance. Under the influence of this force men first began to forget self and draw together in the bonds of a common and humanity recognizing interrelationship, subordinating selfish general welfare for the love of kind. It was the altruistic ideals of the new religion that differentiated it from the old ones, and it is the spread of the altruistic ideals that has brought our Western civilization to its present stage.

Since 1864, through Ireland generally, and especially in the west, very early marriages have been less frequent.

This decrease of early marriages, especially among women, accounts, says the Registrar-General, to a great extent for the diminution in the average size of families in Ireland, and also explains in part the diminished birth rate, which in the ten years from 1881 to 1890 had fallen from 24.5 to 22.3 per thousand of the population. There ought to have been an increase in the Irish population in the ten years of over a quarter of a million, that being the increase of births over deaths, but this natural increase has been more than counterbalanced by emigration, so that in the same period the population sank by nearly half a million.London Daily News.

Baron Steuben and Marquis de La Fayette were among the distinguished guests on this occasion. Thousands of people visit this remarkable house every year, and the occupants never fail to tell the story of how Peter Donahue made his start.

There are many interesting things to see, but an old Dutch oven that is still in use attracts more than ordinary attention. It be remarked, en passant, that the grandfather of Mrs. J. H. McGee of this city was a Teller, and it is from this branch the family that she traces her relationship to Aneke Jans and consequent claims to Trinity's wealth.

It is through the courtesy of Mrs. that the accompanying picture is reproduced. OLEVER DEAF PEOPLE. A Lawyer Who Is Stone Deaf and Yet Has a Large Practice. The following remarkable instances of deaf persons, many of them congenitally so, are practicing professions and depending entirely upon lip-reading for their understanding of conversation, was prepared by a gentleman connected with institution for the deaf, whose name Tam not at liberty to give.

A Columbus paper has published some accounts of the stone-deaf Ohio lawyer, in full practice, who de pends absolutely upon lip-reading, and who has tried cases in Columbus courts. For twelve years now N. B. Lutes of Tiffin, Ohio, has depended entirely upon lip-reading to do all 'that any lawyer does for his clients in court and in every phase of the practice of the law. The latest issue of the Missouri Deafmute Record gives an account of a lady who reads the lips of ministers and public speakers.

Alexander Hunter of the United States Land Office in Washington, D. is "deaf as an adder." Though far from perfect in lip-reading, he has read 150 words given out from the dictionary without making a mistake. He has read the lips of Beecher and Booth almost faultlessly, and has greatly enjoyed pulpit and platform orators and some of the great actors, the chief drawback in reading their lips being the shifting of their positions on the stage, so that their lips were at times invisible. Mitchell, the chemist, an examiner in the United States Patent Office, graduated from the Clarke Institute, Northampton, and, though a poor lip-reader, graduated from the Worcester (Mass.) Polytechnic School as an analytical chemist. For many years a totally deaf man has occupied a place in the United States civil service, receiving his first appointment on the strength of admirable papers in the civil service examination.

Notwithstanding his infirmity, thanks to his he took the regular course great university, recited with his classmates, attended lectures and secured his degree. I doubt if president or professors knew he was a deaf man. Certainly some of his classmates did not know it. For business reasons his deafness is kept secret, and a keen newspaper man went through the office in which he was employed a few years ago in search of a deaf clerk and failed to find such a man or any one who knew of the existence of such a case in that Science Monthly. An Elevated Lake.

The lake which has the distinction of being the most elevated body of water in the world is Green Lake, Colorado. Its surface is 10,252 feet above the level of the sea, and its shores are perpetually covered with snow. The water of the lake is as clear as crystal, and large sections of petrified trees are distinctly visible at a depth of over 100 feet. In one portion of the lake a large area of the bottom is still covered with a standing petrified forest. The branches of these rock trees are of dazzling whiteness, giving them the appearance of having been cut from marble.

The maximum dephs of the lake is 223 feet. -Cincinnatti Enquirer.
