Admirers of rtuskln and students of his
works will be especially Interested In a
new work entitled "Buskin's Principles of
Art rrt'lclsm." of which Ida M. Street Is
the author. Many books have betn written
about Buskin's art criticism and many
elections have been compiled from his
works, but tho author nf this ni- wni-li
h.is covered the well trodden field In a
different manner from hor predecessors, so
that her work possesses a dlstluct char
acter all Its own. While she covers vir
tually the same subject as Mr, Colling",
wood s "Art Teaching of Ruskln." she has
treated It In surh an entirely different
manner that tho two hooks have little re
semblance. The first chapter contains the
Introduction the second being devoted to
"The philosophical point of view." the
third consider "The. Individualistic point
of view" nnd the fourth and last "The soclsl
value of art." After each chapter are s
Itctlons carefully chosen from the works of
Ruskln. No Ruskln library hereafter can

Americans will never tire of reading the
story of Abraham Lincoln. Volumes with
out number have been written, some good
and others bad. hut all of them have re
cclvrd attention from the public according
to their merits and any writer who has
anything of Interest to tell regarding the
greatest of the presidents csn always gain
a hearing. Perhaps It Is because Llncolu
was an distinctly the man of the people
that his fellow citizens have always been
so deeply Interested In his life or perhaps
It was the leading p.irt which h took In
the great struggle preceding the emancipa
tion of the slaves, Whatever may be the
underlying cause or causes, the fact re
mains that the publlr never serms to
weary of hearing recounted tbe story of
his life. The latest work of the kind to
clslm public attention Is "Abraham Lin
coln: And the Men of His Time." by Ron
eit H. Brownr. It Is an exhaustive work,
telling not only the story of the life of
Lincoln, but It gives a clear Insight lntt
the character of tho men who were promi
nent In the affairs of the nation at that
time and throws a flood of light upon many
questions hut vaguely understood by the
average cltlicn. It Is a work that will ap
peal strongly to the general reader, as well
as to the student of American history.

Dr. Mlnot Jutlson Savage of Harvard, tho
author of "Life Beyond Death," has written
a new book. "The Passing and the Perma

not outlive the results of scientific, histo

clearly seen tho "Things That Cannot Be

who Is at all conversant with Dr. Savage's
scholarly writing, this Intest work of his

year the Vienna waltz promises greater
favor. This Is because It is a waltz with
odd steps Introduced, can be danced to
wait music and will be pleasing for both
young and old. One of tbc greatest trials
of the dancing master l to find dances
which w be useful for grown people as
well ns children. Every year there must
be fancy donees for thc children; there
must also he something new for older peo
ple and in order to be classed among the
popular dances a dance must be good for
both young and old. Children on the one
hand want pretty, poseful things, while
grown people for the most part refuse to
pose. To strlko thc happy medium Is thc
artist's task.

Mr. Tlnyner did not talse his voice as he

since this Inquiry began."

Judge advocate, sitting down,

Augustus K. Rournlquo of Chicago Is at the

one or snother similar rapacity for more
than a dozen years. It was he who with
eight other teachers of dancing organized
the society In 187?. The others were east
erners and the society was consequently
organized In New York, from which state
tbe charier was obtained, As a sort of pro

which has not (he society's sanction. In

Sometimes the society does fall. It Is

not always accept what Is dished up for It.
The fashions may be set, but they cannot

Legal Tilts and Humors of
the Schley Inquiry.
Captain Lenity Jumped up, Indignant.
"This," he informed the court, "Is emi
nently Improper. All these left-handed
compliments thrown around are entirely
unusual."
"I withdraw It at once." answered Mr.
Knyner.
"It does nnt make me feel solemn," re
marked Mr. Hanna.
"I would not object If you called me sol
emn." said Rayner as he beamed on Cap
tain Lemly.
"You are not solemn; I call you funny."
was Lemly's warm response.
"I don't call you a bll funny' retorted
Rayner. "Orotepqne Is the term that fits
you best."
Occasionally, during the noon recess and
after adjournment. Admiral Dewey Indulged
In mild practical Joke. Although quick
tempered, he Is extremely good-natured,
and frequently chaffs with his associates.
The admiral Is quick at repartee, hut some
times gets the worst of these exchanges.
Recently as Admiral Dewey was leaving the
court a crowd of people surrounded him and
attempted to shako hands with him. ''Hern
comes Admiral fichley." said Dewey, after
greeting n number of persons, "let me In
troduce you to him,"
Captain Cook was approaching and Ad
miral Dewey palmed blm on on the crowd
as Admiral Schley. Incredible as It seems,
the people were taken In by the admiral's
little Joke and for a few minutes Captain
Cook was busy receiving the congratula
tions of the people who supposed they were
talking to Admiral Schley.
Admiral Dewey then entered his carriage,
and ns he drove off turned and laughed at
Cook, who was surrounded by 200 or 300
men, women and children. Shortly after
ward Admiral Schley appeared and a num
ber of Ihe people knew that Dewey had
been having fun at their expense.
It. Is hoped that every member who possibly
can will be in attendance.
