Peter Itoscgger Is an pre-eminently tlio
novelist of the Germanic people of Austria
as Mnurus Jokal Is of the Hungarian, tilth
orto his works have been Inaccessible to
loaders of Kngllsh, but Frances K. Skinner
has translated Into English "The Forest
Schoolmaster," which Is said to bo one of
tho author's best works. It Is a strange,
weird talo of an Isolated forest community,
civilized and regenerated by tho llfo of one
man, A traveller, bent upon seeing the
mountains, Journeys nlono up Into tho for
est highlands and Is lodged at n little vit
iligo In tho room formerly occupied by tho
village schoolmaster, who had mysterlonsly
disappeared a few weeks previously. Tho
gossips of tho village aro occupied with dls
cuislng tho characteristics of the school
master and all sorts of theories arc ad
vanced for his disappearance. The visitor
discovers a roll of paper which proves to be
tho missing mnn's diary, In which ho tells
the story of his llfo. This story constitutes
the book at hand. It Is a story of a life's
work, how an a boy he followed Napoleon
to Russln, whs refused a doctor's degree bo
causc of his opinions, was crossed In love
nnd how, finally, discouraged and broken In
plrlt, ho betook himself to tho wildest part
of the country, Inhabited by people without
a school or church nnd but llttlo ndvnnccd
abovn savagery. Ills diary recounts the
discouragement nnd opposition mot at every
atop In his .efforts to benefit tho material
and moral conditions of thu people. Suc
cess nt last crowns his efforts, a church
and school bouso aro built, but ho la now
an old mun. Tho outsldo world begins to
tako Interest In tho community, priests
shako their heads at tho simple religion
taught In tho church nnd pronounce the
secular teaching still moro unsatisfactory.
A new generation has grown up, thoso who
labored and sympathized with tho old
schoolmaster In tho beginning tire dead nnd
the young pass him by unnoticed. It Is the
sad climax to a long, laborious life. Tho
last pago of tho diary tolls of the winter
snows, tho play of tho children, thu last
words 1elng "and tomorrow." There tho
diary stopped and what his pinna were for
tho morrow will novcr bo known, because
for him tomorrow novcr came. After fin
ishing tho reading of tho diary the stranger
pursued his Journey with a guide to the
mountain top nnd there, wrapped In snow,
was all that remained of the forest school
master. Ho had climbed tho mountain for
ono moro view of 'thu grund landscape and,
lying down, had found the rest which his
nge-worn body crnved. I'ctcr Hoaegger, the
nuthor, was himself born In the forest and
followed tho career of n peasant lad until
grown to manhood. From boyhood up ho
inado every effort to educato himself until
ho finally reached tho point where his writ
ings 'were accoptablo to tho rending public,
slncu which tlmo he has been n most volu
minous and popular novelist. Ills career
has been no less Interesting than that of
tho character which ho has depleted In his
novel under tho tltlo of "Tho Forest
Schoolmaster." 0. P. Putnam's Sons, Now

Tho strugglo between the French and
Kngllsh for tne possession of the Ohio val
ley was a momentous "and dramatic phase
of American history inudo memorable by
llraddock's defeat. This episode has been
made tho theme of "A Soldier of Virginia:
A Tale of Colonel Washington nnd Ilrad
ilock'B Defeat," by Hurton Kgbcrt Steven
on. 'Washington as a oung ofllcer is a
prominent character, and Justice Is done
llraddock both for his faults and virtues.
Tho narrative. Is accompanied by a pretty
lovo story, nnd has for a background a
plcturo of Virginia soolpty In tho middle
of tho eighteenth cuntury. Tho author of
this historical novul. Hurton Ugbcrt Stev
enson, was born at Chllllcothc, 0 Novem
ber D, 1872. Ho attended tbo public schools
there, graduating from the High school sec

Princeton collcgo In September, 1890, and
pent thrco years thcro pursuing tho acn
ilemlo courec, but at tho end of his Junior
year accepted tho.offer of n newspnpor posi

city editor of tho Dally News, and .later
of tho Dally Advortlser, until August, lS'Jfl,
when ho resigned tho latter position to ac
cept that of librarian of tho Chllllcotho
publis llbrnry, a position which he still
holds. Mr. Stevenson has been a lover of
printer's Ink from his earliest boyhood. At
the age of 7 or 8, while ho
was newsboy for ono of tho Chll
llcotho papers, he built himself n
printing press nnd set up nn office with
such type as ho could find In tho "hell box"
of the, newspaper offlce. Gradually he bo
cured a larger outfit, and finally began tho
publication of an amateur monthly maga
tlno known as tho "Hoys' Owu," afterwards
as "Light." This ho published for ilvo or

rocent years Mr. Stevenson has contributed
stories and verses to a number of maga

from the'fact that tho party of travelers,
although traveling Incognito, fall Into all
sorts of dangerous predicaments from which
they extricate themselves only by tho cx

(knctftl James II. Wilson, who was sec
ond In rommand of tho United States forces
at I'ekln, China," has brought out a third
edition of tho work published by him sev
eral years ago, untitled "China: Travels
and Investigations In tho Middle Kingdom."
(Uneinl Wilson spent nearly a year travel
ing In China, Japan and Formosa under tho
most favorable circumstances. Tho object
of his trip was. to Investigate tho actual
conditions existing In Chlno, together with
tho possibilities of tho country with refer
ence to tho Introduction of. railroads and
other modern Inventions, During this trip
ho met tho most prominent men of China,
as well ns tho foreign diplomats resident
In tho country, and gathered together a
mass of Information hitherto unpublished
In the I'nlted States. In 1S87 ho brought
out tho results of his travel and Investiga
tions In book form under tho title above
mentioned, Tho volume naturally had a
wldo circulation, especially among business
men looking for new markets or for oppor
tunities for tho Investment of capital. Tho
war between China nnd Japan created re
newed Interest In China and Ocneral Wil
son accordingly brought his work down to

pnpern nnd addresses which havo evidently
been prepared for various occasions. Tho
author divides them Into two groups, "Pa

under tho broader tltlo of "Education nnd

whllq our educational purpose must remain
Ideal, all education must bo brought In
closer touch with tho work and tho nrob-
lems of today. For tho safety of democracy
nnd tho welfare- of society tho social aim
in the prcpurntlon for citizenship must bo

Messrs. Lcn and Shcpard of Hoston have
Just published a most Interesting and prau-
llcnl work by Henry Wood entitled "Tho
Political Economy of Humanism."' It Is
largely made up from matter, revised to
date, which has paused through four edi
tions, under tho tltlo of "Tho Political
Economy of Natural Iaw." Hesldes the re
vision, two now chaptors upon vital topics
havM been added. The new title also moro
properly expresses tho spirit nnd purpose of
the book. Many of the most Intelligent
critics have made the point that Mr. Wood
makes what Is conventionally a rather heavy
subject not only Interesting, hut positively
entertaining. To havo llfo and utility, so-
clol economics needs a philosophical Illumi
nation which Is generally lacking. In the
deeper analysis, mind '- the worker, while
Inbor, capital, land, wi.'js, profits nnd val
ues aro but Its expressive Instruments. So
ciety Is an organism, nnd social relations
should bo vlowed' broadly from tho organic
nnd evolutionary standpoint. Mr. Wood's
former hooks havo passed through mauy
editions and nro In steady demand by a most
thoughtful and Intelligent class of readers.
Tho book Is a handsome volume of more
t,han 300 pages, nnd a variety of burning
topics, llko co-operation nnd competition,

Tho position which the Pierpont Morgan
otgcnlzatlon holds with reference to tlia
business nnd political world Is discussed by
Mr. John Urishon Walker In the April Cos
mopolitan under the tltlo "Tho World'3
Greatest Revolution." Familiar with the
business world nnd a student of affairs, Mr.
Walker has, whllo approving of the general
Idea of concentration which makes for good
organization and public economy, drawn a
plcturo of tho power now exercised which
will bo n surprise to the great majority who
havo not given this subject thoughtful at
tention. Two of tho special nrtlt'les In tho April

article are ns delightful ns they aro dis

"It Is curious," says'tho New York 'Times,
"that tho annual service held 'at Gloucester,

tlon. Mr. Kipling wrote It up at length and
well In 'Captains Courageous,' but other
authors una the newspapers, even those
of Massachusetts, Bcem to taku little In
terest In an episode which, old story as It
Is, remains as peculiar and pathetic as
over. Perhaps It Is the cruel usolessnoss of
comment on these recurrent and inevitable
tragedies that accounts for the tendency to
puss them over In silence."

The sacred festival of Easter has become
so Imbued with the holiday spirit that
characterizes Christmas nnd other religious
celebrations It Is simply recognized by
many ns a festlvo occasion, especially by
tho younger generations. Young children
regard It as a gift-exchanging time; thoso
of oldtr growth ns heralding the season of
new anil beauteous things, especially for
personal adornment. Stilt to many the
Enstertldo gladness, Easter lilies und the
now llfo budding all around us bring
thoughts of the great lesson conveyed in
Easier, the lesson of love to nil humanity;
tho spirit of forgiveness nnd encourage
ment; tho manifestation of that lovo which
Is Immortal.
Even to thoae who acknowledge no sect
or creed the season must Impart n feeling
of foletnn Joy nnd renewed hopes, thu very
atmosphere seeming full of promise.
Old Mother Earth puts on her robes of

with fresh and dnlnty colors and through

I'nstcrtlile Mnrliel,
The Eastertide markets In n tnri-n rltv
are well worth visiting nnd nro calculated
to tench nn object lesson to even tho most
tnougnticss Here the housekeeper, In
senrch for something new nnd fresh, re
ceives inspiration, but must guard her
purse-strings Jenlously nnd keep the ad
monition In her mind, only "costly ns thy
purso can buy," or she will be tempted be
yond her Judgment by the almost reckless
display of tho good things" of eurth. Those
who nre not obliged lo take thought of the
morrow as to what they shall eat, nt least
may find pleasure In the wealth nf rolnr nf
fruit i.nd vegetables. One would expect to
nnd few possibilities for decoration on tho
butcher stalls nnd yet even these most
prosaic materials, beef, button, poultry,
hams, etc. lend much to tho attractive plc
turo presented. Tho evidence of refinement
In n nation Is first evinced In things per
taining to thu table; to the decorative fea
ture In our stores, markets or wherever
foodstuffs nre displayed. Even the French
cannot excel uu In this.
For Hie Kimler Table,
For tho rechorcho EnBter dinner spring
lumb Is coiuldired tho proper meat to
scre; with tills, of course, green peas nnd
mint sauce. Thcso delicacies being sonio
vhut scarce and dtar nt this season, the
careful housewife looks about her to see
If sho cannot substitute something quite
ns fitting, but less expensive. A roast of
mutton, saddle, leg or crown, will give bet
ter flavored meat and Is quito In keep
ing. Tho latter, in fact, makes a moat
suitable dish for the Easter dinner. The
shoulder mny nlso bo transformed Into
an nttractlvo form for tho occasion by
having It carefully boned, stuffed nnd
sLaped Into n mutton duck. With these
mny bo served fresh string benns, which
nre In tho inurket nil through the win
ter and much cheaper than tho pens. Splu
uch molded nnd with slices of hard-boiled
egg for garnish Is nlco served with lamb
or mutton, nnd Instead rif cnullflowcr cut
whlto cabbage Into rather coarse, square
pieces; stow carefully In plenty of water,
with snucepnn uncovcredl until Just tender,
and serve with cfeam sauce.
Old potatoc3 may bp piade to masquerade
as amall, new tubers ,by paring, cutting
round with -vegetable coop,. letting llo In
cold water for nn hour ' nnd boiled In
salted water until done,1 but not tender
enough to break; serve with cream sauco
or melted butter nnd chopped parsley.
Eggs, of course, must be much In evidence
nnd thcso enn appear In many forms, from
tho soup course to desserts.
Table Decoration.
Thcso should bo green and white, or yel
low and white, with a touch ot green.
However, all delicate, sprlng-llko colois
nro appropriate; the Idea Is to glvo tho
dainty newness nnd freshness of tho fresh
life Just budding forth all around us. Of
course tho lilies rank flrat, having n sig
nificance nil tholr own; but crocuses aro
dainty nnd show their brave faces so soon
after tho snows they descrvo tho second
place. Then como the "daffadowndillies,"
tulips, hyacinths and violets.
Tho Easter lilies nro not, In strictly good
taste, Biiltablo table deeorutlons. Their
odor Is too henvy and neither the plant nor
flowers lend themselves gracefully to such
purrcscs. They nro better for open hull
decoration, which permits their fragrance
to permeate tho ntmosphero of tho entire
houso with a delicate, subtlo perfume, very
suggestive unci delightful. Lot tho tnblo
decorations be light and nqt overdono; re-
momber nt this season thero Is only a sug
gestion of bloom nbout our northern homes,
a promise of the fullness to como. If small
lilies, crocuses or violets arc used havo
them growing In n bed of moss.
For spcclnl occasions tho desserts nnd
Ices may bo molded In shtipes representing
flowers, csgs, rabbits or any appropriate
design for Easter.

Wesson Halad Oil la certainly sweet

favorable results. Vorv truly yours,
