The speaker said that only a year ago the people of Buenos Ayres learned to near rubbers. He said he saw a whole shipload of rubbers come in there and sell in a short time.

Two or three hundred years ago the most elaborate precautions were ta"ken in order that the fitness of ale might be insured. The official sugar seeker was an important personage, and the most important feature of him was the pair of leather breeches he wore. They were indispensable in his work, if we are to credit the chrpnicles of the time. This officer appears to have gone about his task nf Teefinor ale in tti fnltn,.,.'

By Oswald Kndll. Boston. Houihton-Mlftlln Company. fl.ll. The story of an American tramp steamer that sailed from Galveston to the head waters of the Amazon on business connected with rubber im portations, of the many adventures and disaster that befell its company on the wav, of their extraordinary ex periences in the upper regions of the Amazon, and of the final safe return and unexpected cargo of drift gold. The great merit of the story is its marvelous descriptive power, while the telling has a certain vein of grim humor that is very attractive. OUR DAVIE PKPPKH. Br Ma.lr.ret SM - ney. Boston. Lothrop, Lao A Shopard. 11.60. i More than a million copies of the various "Pepper books" have been sold and, unaffected by competition, they reach higher figures each year. Each of the Pepper children except ing Davie, the third boy and one of the dearest of all the children, has previously been honored by appearing in the title of the book, and now it is Davie's turn. He is well paid for wait ing, for the 1 ook is one of the bright est and sweetest of all the "Pepper books," high praise as that may be. The character drawing is some of the author's best work, and her rich hu mor, which never for a moment lets a serious situation become gloomy, helps to make up a book of wonder ful charm. NOBODY'S BOr. By Hector Malot. Nsw York. Cupples ft Leon Co. 11. Ho. "Nobody's Boy" is Hector Malot's masterpiece, "Sans Famille," which was crowned in its early popularity as a literary classic by L Academic Francaise. The homeless boy's ex perience is a human document that grips the : lterest of young and old, and is justly known as one of the supreme heart interest stories of the world an ennobling example of boy character. TOP.OF-THI. WORLD STORIES. By Emllle and Laura Poulsson. Boston. Lothrop, Lee & Bhepard Co. tl. These stories of magic and adven ture come from the countries at the " top of the world" and will transport thither in fancy the children who read this unusual book. Thev tell of Lanos and reindeer, (even a golden-homed reindeer I), ot prince and herd bov. of knights and wolves and trolls, of a boy who could not be hungry and merry at the same time, of all these and more besides. This book is not intended for the little children with whom Miss Poulsson's nursery and kindergarten books are so justly pop ular, but for boys and girts of 10 or PROFIT AND LOSS. By Amelia E. Barr. New York. D. Appleton 4 Co. II. SO. This is the story of Jan Kelder. who persists in following after the things t)f the world despite his moth er's hope that he become a minister. The loss of the girl to whom he was engaged hardens Jan, and from that moment he becomes involved in money affairs only. The story is one of the most genuinely human Mrs. Barr has written. It is not in any sense a preachment, a nd Jansen Kel der, the hero, may be found in any community where ambitious young men hope to make their personality a factor. ARCHER AND THE "PROPHET." By Rdna A. Brown. New York. Lothrop, Lee & Sfiepard Co. SM0. The best test of a book for children is whether it can interest older read ers in its plot and character drawing. "Archer and the 'Prophet' " meets this test. Archer has already appeared, at a much younger age, as "Arnold's Lit tle Brother, and is now a senior at the same school, St Stephens. Like the author's previous book, it is very , different from he usual school story, j and therein lies its great strength. ; The "Prophet" is a nickname given to I an outside boy whom good-hearted i Archer befriends, and around whom so .ie of the stiongest scenes in the story revolve. MR. BRITLINO BEES IT THROUGH. By' H. O. Wella. New York. The'Macmlllan Company. - 11.50. ' ' I It could hardly be doubted that some novelist would write a great war story. And what is more logical than that it should be M. U. Wells? "Mr. Britling Sees It Through" is a. wor'k of profound interest and appeal which seeks to show what the gigan tic conflict means to those who are in the midst of it. It is not a tale of terrible conditions at the front, of the horrors of actual warfare, but is something deeper in its analysis of life than that. It is as dramatic and fascinating a book as any Mr. Wells has written, a book of varied incident and striking characters. LITTLE BILLY BOWLEGS. By Emilia Blackmore Stapp. New York. George , H. Doran Company. $1.00. Miss Betty was a reporter for the Evening Sun. But she found time to mother and befriend little illy Bow legs, a red-headed newsboy, and his bosom friends, Pete, Skinny and Jake. Here is a tender, winning, lov able little story of the close compan ionship between a group of happy ragamuffins and a warm-hearted woman writer. THE WORN DOOHSTEP. By Marraret Sherwood. Boston. Little. Brown A Co. 11.20 net. The great war has inspired few such appealing stories as this narra tive, which is addressed to the dead lover of the Good Samaritan heroine, and which is an inspiration to every reader. The events such as the lov er's death, the way t' ey had become acquainted, their circumstances in life, are set forth with skill and deli cacy, but the simple appealing story deals principally with the house, a charming old English cottage, and the hospitality the narrator dispenses to the wayfarers, who are usually Bel gian refugees. THE RANGE BOSS. By Charles Alden , Seltzer. .Chicago, A C McClurg & Co. 11.80. : A novel of the west western, a thrill with swift adventure, a-bloom with charming romance, a-throb with the joy of open-air living that is "The Range Boss." Not in many years has there been published a western novel that is so wholly worth while and so completely enjoyable. CLOVER AND BLUE-GRASS. By Elite Calvert Hall. ' Boston. Little, Brown ft Co. $1.80. ' This new volume of Kentucky stor ies contains the nineteenth and last "Aunt Jane" story, "How Parson Page Went to the Circus," which takes us back to Goshen and the old time1 folk of that neighborhood. "Mary Crawford's Chart" and "Old Mahogany" show us ttie Goshen of a later day than Aunt Jane's, and in all the stories there is the vivid charac ter drawing and the charm of familiar things and simple incidents that have made "Aunt Jane of Kentucky" so universally popular. MISS THEODOSIA'S HEARTSTRINGS. By Annie Hamilton Donnell. Boston. Lit tle, Brown ft Co. $1.00. Miss Theodosia Baxter .wandered up and down the world for three years in search of something to inter est her, only to come home and find it on the upper step of her own front porch. What she found was a very much gurorised child who wis hold ing a baby on the small area of her knees. How these youngsters reached the heart of the staid and travel-worn woman and eventually brought a ro mance into ner own life is set forth in Mrs. Donnetl's characteristic stvle. No one who' loves children can resist this book; the little Flaggs are a con stant delight. THE HERITAGE OT THE SIOUX. By B. M. Bower. Boston. Little, Brown ft Co. Sl.lt. Action and adventure there are a plenty in this tale of the "Flying U" boys in New Mexico, in which a fake bank robbery for film purposes pre cedes a real one for lust of gold; and the Happy Family, sworn in as depu ty sheriffs, follow a trail through miles and miles of arid desert in quest of the robbers, only to encounter in stead a band of frightened Navajo Indians who might have annihilated them if Luck Lindsay hadn't under stood sign talk. It is a strong emo tional story that will appeal to this favorite author's many readers. DAVE PORTER AND HIS DOUBLE. By Edward Stratemeyer. Boston. Lothrop Lee A Shepard. II. IS. Dave Porter is the most popular hero in any series of present-day high grade books for boys. Each volume is a complete story in itself, though naturally continuing previous char acters. In this, Dave, not for the first time, aids in untangling a mys tery of great importance to a close friend, and is equal to every occa sion. As younger boys enjoy reading of the adventure of older ones, this will suit a side range of readers, being of interest to all from 12 to 16, and even older. MR.' WELDRIDGE OP THE BANK.

The story deals in part with lega tion life in Peking, but mainly with events in the imperial palace and among the people and beggars of Pe king. A perfectly correct portrayal of that extraordinary character, the empress dowager, is given. While not an historical novel, the romance contains historical truths.
