My friends, this Is i deeply Interesting

Years ago this land was In dnnger and
there came a clash of arms between free

happy, favored nation, hacking In the smiles

When William IV of England awoke on
Juno Is, 17, ho remembered that It was
the anniversary of the battle of Waterloo.
Hp was a dying man. but xpressed the
wlh to live through that memorable daj
and enlled for the flag that Wellington,
the Iron Duke, always sent hlm on tnai
anniversary day. He laid his hand on the
inula which udorned the flagstaff and said.
"I feel revived by the touch." What a
pathetic picture of the dying king with the
flag of his country In his hand How It
reminds us or the crucial nays of Gl nnd
'Z, when heroes fought to nc tho honor
of the old Hag. Many stor.es something
like this come out of those battle days,
like whiffs from the fir tree;, toiitp and
fragrant. I speak today of patriotism
as a divine sentiment, and I think Its noiV"e
justifies the word. The essence of the
divine as distinguished from a merely hu
man emotion consists In the abnegation of
self, and In utter devotion to the welfare
and' good of others. Our highest example
of this Is In Hlm who pave Himself as an

third volume of their "Personal" V'llot.
This, "The Mill On the Floss," Is In Itself
tho most autobiographical of her novels,
and with Esther Wood's Introduction and
the many photographs plcturlng-rcal scenes
of the story, It will prove a particularly In
teresting volume In Its present garb. The

very different aspect ot tho floss In the flood
Intensifies, It anything could, the last trag
edy of Maggie Tulllver. This new edition
ot the works of tho greatest Kngllth au
thoress has new points of special Interest
In throwing much light upon the personality
of the author and the genesis of her books.
Mrs. Wood has written for each volume an
Introduction, showing how the story camo
to be written, placing the originals of the
characters and describing the country and
people among whom the author lived nnd
had so much influence on her work. Don

"Slrlus," the new book by Kllen Thorney
croft Fowler. Hit author of "Concerning
Isabel Cernaby" nnd "Tho Farrlngdons,"
needs no Introduction. All readers of the
best fiction know her epigrammatic humor,
her adroitness in the suggestion of charac
ter nnd her invention of original situations
aud social climaxes. Her new volume Is a
gallery nf vivid miniatures of nrlous
phases of English life. The large public
that already delights in Miss Fowler's ex
traordinary powers will be charmed again
by these scenes on mountain and moor. In
London and the Midlands. The exquisite
dillcacy, flashing wit, keen sarensm and
sparkling repartees that made the previous
stories so fascinating arc amplified In their
enect hero by the variety or characters

ily Holt, although written by nn English
oman for English renders, will he equally
welcomed on this Side tho water for, broadly
peaking, the rules which govern society In
rcat Britain ore very nearly the same as
obtain here. The work Is Intended as a
practical every-day manual and covers al
most everything that can be thought of In
tho way of forms, ceremonies and require
ments In social life. It Is no crime to be
Innocently Ignorant of the formalities which
re considered essential In good society, but
It Is a crime not to conform to them when
they nro clearly understood. Tho author
seems to havo made herself thoroughly ac
quainted with her subject and speaks by
tho card. Sho has aimed to give In the
clearest possible terms exact Information
on all points necessary for tho man or
woman to know who desires to mako a good
appearance In society. Tho present volume
contains the proper forms of. Invitation for
the various kinds of social entertainments,
such as dinners, receptions and dances,
houso parties, etc. It contains, In fact, a
vast amount of information so arranged ni
to make it easily accessible. Unquestion
ably It Is the best volume of the kind that
has been published nnd will be of the great

"A Daughter of the Prophets," hy Curtis
Van Dyke, was suggested to thu writer some
years ago by the famous controversy be
tween Francis Wlllard and tho elder Dr.
Van Dyke, and, though somewhat delayed
In Its appearance, it gives us a view of the
modern woman as we may expect to find
her In the twentieth century. This woman
Is tho heroine of tho book, beginning her
career as a lawyer, and going on as wife,
mother and preacher. She Is a product of
tho new world and the new tlmo, tho In
evitable outgrowth of tho church freed
from stale control. She rests her right to
deliver the gospel message wholly upon the
declnrcd rrotestnnt principle of the unl

The extraordinary name of the book Just
written by Dr. John H. Glrdner Is attract
Ing a good deal of attention nnd n number
ot people do not seem to understand how
to pronounce It or what It means. They
call It "New York It Is" or "New Yorkltes,"
neither of which is, of course, correct. Be
Ing a medical man, Dr. Glrdner has coined
the new word "New Yorkltls," to Indicate
a disease, the nature of which may be com
pared with such words as appendicitis end
peritonitis, for Its meaning. This word Indi
cates that the patient afflicted with the
disease has his New York Inflamed In the
same way as his vermiform appendix or
pertoneum may become Inflamed. Grafton

A book that ought to be In the hands ot

payers who take an Interest In the Improve

many good suggestions from It. The purpose
ot Mr. Robinson's book Is not to give an ex
haustive discussion ot the subject of Im
