10 TITE OMAITA DAILY BEE: FRIDAY, JULY 7, 1003. CURRENT LITERATURE. On of 1h mnitt Important chapters In "The Ftwdotn of Life," the nfr book by Annie Pavson Call, author of "Tower Through Repose," etc., published by Lit tle, Erown A Co.. la the chapter on "How to Bleep Restfully." Miss Call say: There are three thin" that prevent deep over-fstlirue. material disturbances from the outside, and mental disturbances from within. "In nine case out of ten It Is the tin wIlllnRness to lie awake that keeps us awake. We wonder why we do not sleep. We toss anil turn and wish we could sleep. We fret, and fume, and worry, because we rlo not sleep. We think of all we have to do on the following day. and are op pressed with the thought that we cannot i do It If we do not sleep, urst, we try one experiment to see If It will not make us sleep, and when it falls, we fry an other, and perhaps another. In each ex periment we are watching to see If tt will work. There are many things to do, any one of which might help us to sleep, but the watching to see If they will work keep us awake. "There are five things to remember to help rest an overtired brain: 1. A healthy Indifference to wakefulness. 2. Concentra tion of the mind on simple things. 3. Re laxation of the body. 4. Gentle rhythmic breathing of fresh air. 6. Regular nour ishment." The Harpers announce that the sixth vol ume In the "American Nation" series la ready for Immediate publication. This vol ume will be called Provincial America, and Is written by Evarts B. Greene, Th.U., professor of history, University of Illinois. It covers the early days of the. develop ment of the American commonwealth, from 1690 to 1740, and is the first of the second group of live volumes, under the general heading of Transformation Into a Nation, prof. Greene Is a specialist In the period of which ha writes. After graduat ing from Harvard, be became instructor in history in that university, obtaining his Ph.D. degree in 1853. Then followed a few years' travel and study In Ger many before he took up his work at the University of Illinois, where he has been professor of history for the past eight or ten years. Prof. Greene has been a frequent contributor to various historical and educational periodicals, and has writ ten a volume entitled The Provincial Gov ernor In the English Colonies of North America. Volume VI carries out the plan for the entire series, as the editor, Prof. A. B. Hart of Harvard university, outlines It: "A history written by expert" for laymen." The Vlr Publishing company of Phila delphia, has Just divided $500 In gold among ten persons In the United States and one In England for the name "Husband, Wife and Home," which was adjudged tha title best suited for Dr. Charles Frederic Goss' new book, one to which men and women sensitive to family friction and alert to "the best means of correcting It will turn for suggestion and relief. D. Appleton A Co. have acquired the Booklovers' Magazine of Philadelphia and will publish It In New Tork under the title of Appleton's Booklovers' Magazine, be ginning with the July number. It Is said that D. Appleton Sc Co. expect to greatly Increase their sales of books and the effi ciency of their advertising through Its agency. It Is understood that the policy of the magaxlne will be changed and that the fact and Action of Appleton' best au thors will be published In It serially. The houso will naturally make an extraordinary effort to have the first number published tinder the new title a great success and much Is to be expected of it. So attractive and so varied are the ar ticles In tha World of Today for July that readers will find It difficult to decide what to read first. Fot a 10-cent magaxlne the quality of both the reading matter and the illustrations Is remarkable. The wide In terest In the municipal ownership problem makes particularly timely the article by Francis W. Parker on "Municipal Owner ship and Graft." For both timeliness and vivacity the July number of the Atlantic Is a notable one. The leading article, a plea for Publicity for Express Companies, by Prof. F. H. Dixon, Is a searching study of the vast but little understood business of the express com panies In this country which will open the eyes of many people. The summer number of Poet Lore Is one of the most valuable Issues of this maga line so absolutely indispensable to the student of literature. The leading contribu tion is a complete translation of Maeter linck's new play, "Joyxelle," and like all Poet Lore plays, the translation Is a masterpiece, giving in English the very life of the French original. Poet Lore seems to gain in both literary value and typographical excellence with every Issue. If you want to feel glad that you are alive and able to enjoy the wealth of out door treasures that our magnificent country affords. Just read the Country Calendar for July. The luscious yellow-green canta loupe of the cover well Indexes the seat that waits within. The Country Calendar's continued employment of the slncerest and pleasantest outdoor literature, with Its lavishly beautiful pictures and typography, will keep It high in the Interests of those who truly love "God's green earth." Between the very attractive and season able covers the Pilgrim for July contains a number of articles of more than passing Interest and quantity of genuinely good fiction. The stories by Samuel Merwtn, Susie Bouchelle Wight and Karl Edwin Harriman are all charmingly Illustrated and deal with affairs of life In such a way as to make for the most entertainment in tha least space. .
