Man and Nature, Twins and Foes, by Dr. Alexander ^ Philosophy Professor of Uni versity of Nebraska Put* His Observations and Reflections in Book. NATURE AND HUMAN* NATURE by Hartley Burr Alexander, The Open Court Publishing company, Chicago. Science, even psychological science, in response to an overmastering de sire to sift from the dross of life the universal and the enduring, has stripped the universe to Its bare bones. And the skeleton of atoms it offers us for a world seems at first sight to offer no tokens of recogni tion, to awaken in us no senes of kin ship. Vet, the relativism that has lately overtaken science comes as the inevitable rebuke for those who would achieve the paradox of a truth which is beyond man yet comprehensible to him. For the human profils Itself stares back at us from the frame of atoms we Invert. The universe Is still haunted, and when we pursue Its facts we follow our own footprints. Philosophy’s longer history has left It more completely weaned from this naivete of science. The collection of 15 essays under the title, "Nature and Human Nature," by' Prof. H. B. Alexander of the University of Ne braska are written In the full atmos phere of the view that however Im personal an author may strive to be, his work nevertheless bristles at - - - | ADVERTISEMENT.

Common garden sage brewed Into a heavy tea, with sulphur added, will turn gray, streaked and faded hair beautifully dark and luxuriant. Just a few applications will prove a reve lation If your hair Is fading, streaked or gray Mixing the Sago Tea and Sulphur recipe at home, though, Is troublesome. An easier way Is to get a bottle of Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound at any drug store all ready for use. This Is the old-time recipe Improved by the addition of other In gradients. While wispy, gray, faded hair Is not sinful, we all desire to retain our youthful appearance and attractive ness.

You Just dampen a sponge or soft brush with It and draw this through your hair, taking ons small strand at a time; by morning nil gray hairs have dls appeared, ami, after another applica tion or two, your hair becomes beau tlfully dark, glossy, soft and luxuriant. every point with the intimacies of his most earnest reflections and dearest hopes. And the moving hope of the entire volume seems well embodied in the special title page which cites the ancient words of Epicurus, "Vain Is the discourse of that philosophy by which no human suffering Is eased." Socratlc in his conviction as to the role of thought, and platonic in his manner of thinking, the author dem enstrates that the nature and human nature of today verify these classic Insights. Unlike science, philosophy counts particulars, not to discount them the better In a later formula, but for their own sakes. In this spirit our author and fellow citisen gives earnest audience to the Inwards of our conscious Interests: religion, art, our thinking, our pain, beauty, good ness and sin, and ths countless "pressures of fitful circumstances" with which our lives arc full to the brim. The result la philosophic truth which follows closely the com plex pattern of nature Interwoven with human nature. Surely the factual world Is not brute nature alone, but brute nature kept atremble by our human wills, and aglow by our sentiments. These too are forms of understanding. The general service of the essays X to 7, inclusive. Is to portray the rlchnss of our ways of understanding nature; and In con trast to them a treatise on logic ap pears poverty-stricken. Their titles, in order, are: "Of Philosophy,” "Re ligion and Race Progress," "The Evolution of Ideals,” "Truth and Na ture," “The Goodness and Beauty of Truth,” "Beauty and Pain," “Wrath and Ruth,” “Human Personality.” The remaining essays are of a somewhat more formal character, aiming to "find out the lasting.” In all, coming from a mind veteran In the art of ever-fresh expression, from a will bent on breadth of experience, from a heart responding with an un yielding wrath at the "black and stinking" sins of men, yet loving men for their humanity's sake, the book seems at once biography and racial history. And this Is most befitting of all, for In truth, the crucial burden of philosophy as of life Is to know whether we are one or many, whether an individual or the quarrel ing ground of a populous society. Heroine Finds Success Has Bitter Taste Innermost secrets of a woman's soul ars bared by George Gibbs In his latest novel of New York, "Fires of Ambition," published by D. Appleton * Co. Brushing everything aside Jo ac complish her single ambition, pretty Mary Ryan climbs up to wealth, so cial position and prominence on the hearts of both men and women who love her. Against the pleadings of her girl hood chum, Joe Bass, stolid youth, equally fired with ambition for a legal career, she starts out on her way as a stenographer In the offices of a leading clothing firm.

He makes the reader live through the pages with his characters. He paints Ufa In the mammoth American Babylon with vivid and exacting phraseology. But they always pay for their folly in George Gibbs’ books. "Fires of Ambition” Is an aven stronger novel than "The House of Mohun.” New Novel Africa, by G .A.
