Mr. Alden considers the problem of death and the problem of the existence of evil as ono problem , and addresses hla attention not so much to the solution thereof as to a re statement of If ? terms as observable In the light of modern science. In his prefatory note ho says1 "Daath and Evil , as considered in this work , are essentially one , and belong to Life not only In Its manifestation , but In Us creature or generic qualities. Life , In Its principle. Is not good or evil , mortal or Immortal , but as creittve It becomes evil as well ae good , and Is Immortal only as In cluding mortality. " Mr. Alden goes on testate state that his proposition is not new ; that the same theme was treated by St. Paul.

JOSEPHINE , EMPRESS OF THE FRENCH. By Frederick A. Ober. Cloth , $ .J.

Starting thus , he easily keeps Jo sephine the central figure of his book , ciib- ordlnatlng not only Deauharnals , but even Bonaparte to her and emphasizing her Im portance to him and her Influence In his career. Considering the difficulty of writing in uncoloreil biography of a woman like Josephine- , and separating the facts of her lite from mere jealous tittle-tattle , Mr. Ober has made an Interesting book. He leaves a good many things , it U true , to the reader's oun discrimination , but his work Is well con sidered and reasonably compact , nnd while It covers familiar ground It covers It in a iumewhat unfamiliar way and will acceptably supplement the many new versions of the story of the Cerulean , with whose adventurous career that of the West Indian woman wes KO significantly associated , MENTONE , CAIRO AND CORFU By Constance - stance Fenlmoro WooUon , Cloth , 35S pages.

Much I'rolH. The dancing man now has his Inning , says the New York Sun. Through tlio summer he has occasionally martyred himself by spinning about on hotel and club house floors , just to keep In practice , and now comes his reward. For two or thros weeks Invitations of various purport have poured In on him. lit goes about with a gentle consciousness that ho Is once more a person oC cotuiMeratlon , thai he occupies a well-recognized position In the world , and thnt the happiness of a good many pleasure seekers depends on him. So he drags fortli from Its chamber bed his winter dress suit , sends It lo the tailor , has lily trousers legs made a llttlo smaller , If ha Is ot the fleanless , loiiR-leggcd kind that can stand It , and some Una evening ho h-tlllss forth to erjoy theactlvltlen of the season. If this devotee of terpslchore la an old- timer , as ho generally Is , a gentleman slightly the better for wear , with a percptlble thin ning and grizzling or the locks about hla temples , the great Interest of his first dance of the season lies In thedebutantes. . It may bs set down as a rule that the more Inveterate - ate an old bachelor he may be , the more he will cast his shrewd nnd calculating eyes upon tiie maidens who nre still romantic and adore the possibility of an engagement ring. The experienced dancing man has been , to some extent , spoiled by the dancing-class mania of the last seven years. The great t'.uooth ' floors of the halls built for these occasions are so much better than those ot private houses ? that the- dancing man Is apt to ster clean cf private dances. As he fctanda In th ? doorway after having greeted the patronesses with a graceful and youthful bow , he surveys the crowd of sway ing dancers , and for a moment It sscms as It he didn't know a soul In the room. This Is n dreadful state ot things , for he prides him self on a tremendous acquaintance , and Ins a preposterous collection of photographs ot girls ho has met In a long course ot dancing , 13ut gradually well known facss b gm to crop out among the crowd. Couple after couple glides by to the rhythm of the new- two-step. lie picks out the debutantes with the ease and certainty of a connoisseur In girls. In the first place , a face wholly strange to him means a probable debutante ; In the second place , a manner of dainty ennui and a world-weary look makes ths probability a certainty. There are not quite so many girls ot the type of the old bachelor und dancing man. 3lrls have not the power of resistance In gen eral that men have , and the feminine raiiky are constantly filled by tha now taccs , while : helr halo nnd hearty partners waltz on for ever. But now and then a girl who has been : hrough five seasons' dances can be found. She Is to be recognized by her youthful 111111- ner , her artless vivacity , and a tendency to IB her hair In a kind of compromise pigtail and psyche knot which produces an effect of extreme youth. She recognizes her mate counterpait , but sseks not to allure him to tier side In place of the gentle youth -with shiny hair nnd extremely high collar who laradey her on his arm about the room , For she , too , In her own frivolous search for the novel , Is prone to take up with thosa w-ha are still In college , who talk about foot ball and societies rather than about the men und maidens who haves disappeared through the dark portals of matrimony In the past year. So nho and the dancing man let each other ceremoniously alone. The dancing man U of all slr.eo. lie Is fat and bald , thin and bald , fat and bowlcgged ; jew legged and bJld , short and bzwhlslceml , whiskered end red headed. Of course. If id Is tall IIB aoclca cut the tiniest partner he can discover ; If he Is espre'ally unprepossess- tiK , ho becomes a sutcllito of the most rcent jellc ; It he Is handsome , gallant , ami jovial , ic forever flits from ono ( lower to another , 'or all women are flowers to this nutterlly , vhetbcr they .ire enthronsd cpilnrsl the wall or not. Its \ not by any means the rule that Iho dancing man of the most extreme type la leccss.ully a good dancer ; ho Is generally a Ittle loss than graceful and a llttlo better han u bungler ; he will PUSH In a crowd , hut H not the most desirable partner to load off with In n new danc * . Ho Is like a fisherman ; nobody expects any great display of skill or h ? spoils ; of war from cither. Ills existence s mor ? active , but no moro Injurious than ho solitary Walton's , and ho Is a true adorer ot the bud and the ingenue , Yet experience courts for something , and hero arc two occasions when the far-t'lghtrd ; lrl will certainly choose for her protector me of these tried and seasoned gallants from among tha overcrowded ranks of her appli cants. Supper ID the first occasion , It Is not ho way of the thorough-going dancing mane o provide a meager and Ill-assorted supper or his partner ; ho Is not apt to dkuppcar nysterlnusly amid tha throng of black coats about the supper table , and drlnlc champagne companlonably among the stags ; ho will not spill Ineffaceable coffee on the new gown or appear covered with Ice cream as to hid own veil-ordered clawhammer. Then , too , ho Is tactful , nnd always cats something himself , Bitting down bevlda the ady of the hour nnd talking small talk with out effort or Intermission. He has learned iy experience that It Is a llttlo worrying to a vonian to pat without a man to bear her company , and he has a supreme contempt for MB haughty youngster * who dutifully brine , mck the fruit of their labors and stand r rl lrntv | fillont while thp fair nno m.iknu away with naiads and Ices.

None ? la to deft as h with hla elbow In the black coats of the opposition ; If not lee graceful he U ctlll an unsurpassed pilot , and threads a paisago In the most comprested multitude.

"I recollect an Instance down In Texas where < i lynching was narrowly averted only by proving to the owner of a bunch of stolen cattle tint his stock had been stolen and that the thief was tint the man the owner thought h : wna. though the owner had known this man all Ills life. "I was drumming Texas In the Interest of a St. Louh tobacco hous ! , and while nt El Paso was Invited by a ranchman , Uncle Daniel Spinner , to visit his place In Tom Green county for a day or two. We 1 ft the piss nt daylight , and after riding all day through the heavy white sand that Is to be found In broad patches so far from the edges of what was once known as the great American desert , nnd often skirting dcrs > thickets of prickly mcsqulte and passIng - Ing Innumerable giant stands of Spanlsn daggers , that stand out on theplnlm llko obelisks , we approched Uncle Dan's head quarters. We were halted about 'an hour by sun' by a lone horseman , who with stir rups Happing like wings on either slds of his puffing bronco , nnd sombrero rim lying fiat back upon the crown from the velocity of the- pace , pulled up short In front of us , and with greit show of incitement Informed Uncle Dan that the bunch of cattle that had been cut out of Ms herd n wielc ago nnd driven off by one cf his trusted hands had been found by ono of the scouts sent out In pursuit , nnd that the * cattle and cattle thief were now approaching on the way back to the ranch. EASILY IDENTIFIED. " 'The boys thought they better bring the pirate to headquarters , ' explained the horse man , 'so'ze you could have n look at him be fore wo presented him with a crown.1 "I'ncle Dan and I rode beside the horsjman a short tlmu nnd came upon a most remark able scene. A couple of cowboys were driv ing about 100 head of stock , nnd In the rear were about a dozen cow punchers of the typical Kind , imrroundlng a. woe-hegono and mournful Individual , who also was mounted on a sorry- nag , but had a lariat thrown loosely over his neck , the other end held by a dozen stout hinds. The Individual thus towed along was oozing perspiration from every pore. Ho was hatlew. Ills shirt was almost torn from his back , and with hla hands tied behind him he had no use for bridle reins. " 'This man , Ed Simmons , has worked for mo over ten years , ' related Uncle Dan'l , as wo rode up to the cowboys , 'and I nsver knew him to do anything wrong before. I knew lite people down In east Texas , nnd I have known this fellow since he was a lad. I would hatn to see him Htrung up , but the buys don't stand any foolishness , anj If they have got the right man even my authority couldn't prevent them from executing the law Imposed on the most serious crime known In the cattle country. ' "When we reached the prisoner and the ; uard. Uncle Dan having already Identified his stolen stock by the brand nnd other pe culiar features. Undo Dan said : " 'Ed , I never thougljt you would do any thing like this. ' "Ed only smiled sickly. " 'Don't yen know the boys arc going to string yen up ? ' asked the boss. " 'I s'pose so , ' was the grinning response. The poor fellow was so scares nnd overawed lie didn't have sense enough loft to look seri ous. He never originally enjoyed much sense , evidently. "Uncle Dan talked to the guard ? awhile , and then In a matter-of-fact way said : " 'Well , take him off somewhere. I don't want to see It done , ' for Undo Dan was a ender-hearted man. I wasn't anxious to sco : ho fun , either , and rode on with the'boss lu he rear of the bunch of stock. PROTESTED III3 INNOCENCE. " 'That fellow says ho Is the other Ed,1 re marked ono cf the two cowpuncherj that remained to drive the cattle. " 'What ! ' exclaimed the boss. " 'Ho says he's the other Ed. ' "Undo Dan pulled up short. Then In a moment hn sent spurs Into his pony and How across the sand , regardless of the trail , I In hla wake. In a few minutes wo reached the spot where the lynching party had stopped in the bed of an aroyuvhcrc a cottonwood tre cast a shadow. "Hold up , there ! Hold up ! " ohoutcd tha old man as ho get within calling distance. "The lynchcrs desisted at the word of com mand and BtooJ motionless until wo came up. Wo wore none too soon. The halter had nlready bson thrown over a stout limb and the wretch wag about to engage In the final prayer that Is allowed oven by the execu tioners of Judge Lynch'B statutes. "Jumping from his pony , Uncle Dan hur ried up to the kneeling fellow. Shaking him by the shoulder , he exclaimed : ' " the other Ed ? ' "Do you say you arc " 'Yes , sir. ' " Then why In the world didn't you say go n while ago ? Stand up till I get a good look at you. ' "The frightened fellow stood up , grinning and wiping hi ? hand over his eyes. " 'By gosh , he's right. It is the other Ed. Turn him loose , boys. Well. well. The old. man was so excited ho didn't know what tn do , and only by a variety of well-turned profanity could he relieve lilmaclf. Ho could only stare and rrtammcr out questions. At. Ust he got sufficient of the alleged thief's story to explain everything , added to what ho nlicady knew. IT WAS THE WRONG TWIN , "Riding homeward ) iu explained thlnga to me. It seems Uncle Dan was born and raised scmuwheru in Brazes rounly. Ntnr his father' * place lived a squatter immn'l Simmons , who had two sons , twins. Edwin and Edward by nnmo , so alike In appearance their father could scarcely distinguish be tween them. Young Pan Spinner grew up with the twins. They were his playmates. Later In life when he esUhllthcd a big ranch out west In Tom Green county 1m took Hd- win With him an his most trusted servant , About a month prevloua to the HCOIIO I wit nessed Edwin got a letter from his father ufferlnK to buy a bunch out of Undo Dan's stock. Edwin mentioned thin to Undo Dan , but no deal wau made , though Uncle Dan would have nmdo old man Slmmonx a pres ent of the ntuck If ho Wd In ne-ed. About Lhat time Edwin went homo on a visit. A couple of weeks latc-r ho returned and the same night disappeared with 100 head o ( itock. The purzult and capture followed. Then It was learned that It was not Edwin lint Edward who had returned , und the stock he had driven olt was the bunch purchaee4 by hla father , the umlomtundlni ; being that the deal hud been perfected , The twins were so much alike In dronn , beard , volco and manners Hint even Uncle Dan , who had known them all his life , could not distin guish between them.
