Them Is a rich woman , who plays a tootling part. She Is the wife of one who can atffori to give licr everything , She lives "In society" and her daughter Ia trained at Vtissar. An tic- cklent , whkh took her painfully near to the alark ithadow of death , changes la r lIfe and the dovoten herself to good deods. The daughter becomes a mIssIonazy worker In Nhraska , and in the end there Is a itrango meeting ot those who hail been from one reason or another separated In the cast. Of course there Is a. wedding In the lnt chap- tar , "and they ever after lived happily to- gcthor. " The book Is a. composite novel written by the following women : Emma N.

' ' The foreword Is by Helen Deane l'crry , Prcs ident of the union , and The lIeo Is favorcil by a copy from Mrs. A. S. Stlger , Omaha. 'The purpose of the book is not least of Its attractions. It Is a true missionary book , and carries on every pngo the uplifting and helpful spirit of missionary work. Aside from this it Is well written. There Is the , absence of plot , hut there is no lack of In- cialentaa. The action is spirited and refresh- Ing. There arc no dull passages anti none that might as vell have been left out. It IF ; not only a good book , one worth reading , but it 1 a book that carries Inspiration by the choice language used and the ftnish of every chapter. 23 cents. A notable contribution to the literature cat the John Brown era Is announced to coma V come from the press of the Funk & Wag- nails company. It viIi be a volume of the poems of Richard Roalf , with a memoir by his friend and literary executor , Colonel Richard J. Ilinton. Rcalf was the poet 01 the John Brown company. lie was with John Brown and his men as they tralneal V for service at the little of Tabor , In. . and he was one of the company that spent the winter in the Quaker settlement at Sprlngdale , In. , planning for the work of liberating the sieves. The largest collec- tlon of his poems known is thirty-four and th se are the ones that were published In magazines , but Colonel Hlnton has gathered together 170 of them , Including lyrics , songs and sonnets. The volume announced will contain orer sixty of the sonnets , exquisite In their rhythm and rich In melodious thought , throbbing with passion and full of the symbolism which has made Realf's name to those who have gathered such stray cx- amples as could be secured worthy of mention - tion alongside the names of Tasso , Petrareb , V Milton or ICeats. The floalt volume will be a surprise also as well as a delight for its passionate and powerful songs and poems of the civil war period and the stirring five - 4- or six years of national history that followed - : V the dcCth of Mr. Lincoln. Rcalf was a aol- 1a dier of the Union and served in dii the campaigns of the Array of the Cumberlatad his "Song of the Sword , " "A Soldier's Psalm to Women , " the famous sonnet to General Lytle ( author of the Iioern beginning - ning "I Am Dying , Egypt , Dying" ) , on whose pereon the original copy was found when the body was removed from the fold of Ch1cltamaua , pierced by the ( loath bui- V lt and stained by the blood of the soldier- poet , wili , with others heretofore unpub- ilehed or now forgotten , be found In the forthcoming volume. A score of poems writ- if ten while Realf was assistant at the famous Five Points House of Industry In 1855-5G , are worthy to rank with Thomas hood's 'Souig ' of the Shirt. " Stirring lyrics of the anti-slavery agitation and of the fro state strife in Kansas mingle with poems of love , life nuai circumstance , which will be a pleas- ura to the general vendor as well as a ape. cal delight to the admirers of this ' 'svoi k. man.poet.solalier , " as lie designated himself at the tUne of lila death by suicide , One of Grant Alien's latest stories , "The Incidental Bishop , " is a typical suannior noyel , It wouid take unusually disagreeable weather to distract attention from the story % \Vlien the reader has ouica fairly got Into the plot , for It is as intensely tiuriliing aie a daly of i'iid 'vest iomuncu and polished with the skill of a master.

This population Is thoroughly Spauilsim in lniiguttge and national feeling , quite as nauchi an Spain Itself , and the archipelago constitutes a province of Spain , not a colony , like Cuba or the Philip- pines. Nevertheless , the offidials are nearly nil sent out frnni the peninsula. .Aalnilnis- trativo omces of all kInds seem to have been muitlpllel out of all reason to make sinecures - cures where pensionS may be drawn b the friends and retainers of Madrid politicians.

The peasun ry are fru. gal and Industrious , as they are , indeed , ompeiied to be in order to make a living tinder the hard conditions of wretched gov- emInent and over-population. Probably less than a quarter of the super- ficini area of the islands is under cultivation - tion , owing to its 'ery broken and mona- talnous character.

The equable , sunny climate permits the continuous growth of crops , so that the returns - turns of efficient agriculture would be very great , and land is even now hold at a rather high valuation , The Islanders , while reek- onheig themselves as loyal and natriotic Spaniards , chafe In secret over the governmental - mental oppression of the peninsula , and , vhiiie under the present circumstances there is no thought of revolution among them , they have seen enough of the superior justice and business methods of the English to be able at once to appreciate the Ian- proved conditIons under which they would find themselves were their government justly administered. English Interests In the islands , especially In Grand Canary , have greatly increased In the inst two decades. Several of the largest mercantile firms , both at Las Pahnas and Santa Cruz , are English and these. with the numerous English steamship and coaling companies , conduct by tar the larger part of the business of the islands. A Iliac of small steamers plying between the islands In also owned by an English company. These inter- eats , esjeelahly those Immediately concerned with shippIng , center chiefly at Las Palmas , which has outgrown Its competitor , Santa Cruz , in population and commercial Ian- liortance. La Paimm and Santa Cruz arc located near the northeastern coroorn of their respective islands , Grand Canary and Tenerife , and are fifty-three miles apart. Both towns are buIlt on narrow shelves between the sea and the steep hills which rise behind them , and being thus at low elevation anal sheltered by their flanking hills , the ) ' become In summer uncomfortably - ably warm and dusty. On the somewhat more elevated and exposed parts of the Islands ; however , the climate Is sImply heaeniy for the entire year.

In more slicfitered places of low elevation bananas are grown for the English market , amid the graceful 'Into palm Is everywhere in oil- denco , but. the climate is as ii whole strictly temperate , the thermometer averagIng - agIng about 70 degrees , seldom reachIng 80 and seldom falling below GO except at higher elevations , tIuigit ill puti Cl ijente , Several books have been written by Rug- hish medical men to show that larticulsr places In the Canaries have really the fihiest Clihilato In tIme world , being thy , salubrious , equable , sunny and everything else that goes to make climate , and sllploatls of In- valida and tourists visit Teuierlfe and Grand Canary 'very winter , A majority of these invalids are sufferers from consumption or other lung diseases , but many are brought by the assurance that they can here ecapu the fogs of old Eng- ian'l and sliend it witer iii tIle open air vith the flowera and bright sunshine , On both islands are numerous large Rug- hish hotels , those of Grand Canary center- lug about Las Palmims , while in Teoerifo tIme foreign element has gathered in the magnificent saucy of Orotavit on th vest side of the island.

Orotava is about thirty miles distant from Santa Cruz , with which it. is connected by a flue macadamized road , Similar excellent roads connect the principal towns of Tenerito and flrnntl Canary , but all these are of late falling into disrepair. On account of the extremely mountainous character of the country the building of roads is very diffi- cult. The roadbed has frequently and for long distances to bo blasted out of tIme solid rock , and winds along thin perpendicular aides of deep ravines , All bridges are of niasonr ) ' and are 'ery substantIally built , but as the size and span of such structures is limited tii road is sometimes nillts longer than would have been necessary haul Iron bridges or trestles been resorted to.

All oilier "roads" are , however , moro paths of the roughest character , usually filled with loose stones and in the Winter season forming the beal of small torrents. Not the slightest attempt at Improvement is made and so diiflcult Is transportation that ovem ; on these most valuable islands , wIth a superlatively temperate climate and fertile soIl , there are still large tracts of land sparsely inhabited for hIck of means of access. For centuries the inhabitants of ninny agricultural parts of these islands ba'e been paying a large fraction of their slender incomes iii taxes without havIng the advantage of a single public Improvement - ment , not even a passable road , The same amount of taxation paid over to an honest and etficlent. government and expended for locnl purposes inxtcad of being - ing cent away to Spain would have made one of the garden-spots of the world , Climate , soil nod geographic posItion are most favorable , With good roads anal pmper aeihities for storIng and distrIbuting water the. anarles might become a. valuable pose ccsIoh , A greater blessing could not canno to the gooi ) people 'of these islands ( bait to fall into the handa of England or the UnIted States. The asaurance of good government would stimulate the inveatmeast of capItal in numerous paying Improvements. The aumtmnt of cultivated land could be widely increased and would support in plenty a much larger population than at present. and the employment of laborers in these improvements would ho an immediate cc- hief to the very hard times Into wblnh ( ho gradual impoverishment of Spain through the Cuban war has plunged the people. During the last few years wages and prices of local products have steadily declined , while imported tiiltlclesm bane advanced throu the eprec1atioii of SpanIsh cur- rency. Should the exigencies of war throw these islands Into our hands 'tI'e objections urged against tropical colonies will not ajuply , With the latitude of central Florida and a finer and more equable climate , so that ahi subtropical and many tropical frutts cnn be grown with perfec't security from frost , and with a geographic positIon nearer to the European market than any region able to compete in these vroducts , the corn- inorcial value Of the CanarIes would not. be open to doubt. The English have alreauly slightly colonized the two prinoipal lslttnds , ninny invalids and mne'rants having taken up permanent residence there , seine famllle for several generations. For many yearn we have been supplying Coal , petroleum , lumber , and , strangely enough , Pherlda water for ( lie Canarte , and for the West African trade , conducted by English and German wtoamshlp lines which touch there. The English pepuiaiiun would be much harger If it had no been for the Irresponsible and rorupt Spanish government - mont of the Islends , under which one may mind himneelt at tiny blanc mit , thio mercy of an Ignorant soldier or olflclui for some realer or fancied violation of a real or fancied local regulation or tax law. The purchase and conveynnee of property , and especially of water rights , are also niatters of great difficulty and Insecurity , With a civIlized government assured there would undoubt- 'ediy be a large increase In European , amid especially English , population , to say noth- lag of colonists who would go out from this country , The present inhabitants , too , would prosper an never before , and they are a people worthy of such good fortune , The peasantry would supply a large quantity of cheap avail efllcient labor and lance intelligent - telligent classes are generally desirous of progreBs. With good governmnen ( and good schools a complete change might be cx- Peeled in a single generation , as the example - ample of English superiority has aiready turned attelition to the possibility of ian- lurovement.
