And though advancing civil ization has rid the highways of wild beasts and given man weapons wherewith to protect himself, the darkholds terrors still, and the stoutest heart beats faster when a twig snaps in the dark shadows along a familiar pith.

If a man is capable of licking Demp- sey, his head does not swell when he licks an undersized cripple; he feels that he is capable of bigger things. If he has the ability to earn fifty thousand a year, his head does not swell when his salary is raised to $65 a week.

A Frolic; by Ralph Straus; Messrs. ~ Methuen and Co., Ltd, The last book received by us bear- ing the name of Ralph Straus was called "Pengard Awake," and it was a good yarn, Those who read that story will understand our surprise when we read "Valcano" and the be- ginning of that surprise when we found it described on the cover piece as "A frolic," if you please. From the realm of mystery and the semi-spiritual, in which we last left Mr. Straus, he takes us in this book into the somewhat more inter- esting, or at least more human, lend of satire, where, to express it in the Hngo of the proletariat "he shakes no-Jhean pen." . The story is delightfully whimsi- cal little comedy and is very charit- able, in spite of the satire, There 'are many serious thoughts in regard to the social life of this North Am- erican continent, the major part of it at least, introduced here and there, and not a few 'honest-to-goodness" latter-day saints and pillars of the church receive sly digs here and there to remind them that they are really the biggest hypocrites walk- ing the earth, The story centres about the most respectable of spinsters, Miss Belt of the Grange, the aujocrat of the neighborhood. That may not sound alluring, but Mr. Straus furnishes entertainment for every reader as the story proceeds. RELATIVITY FOR ALL. By Herbert Dingle; Methuen & Co., I14d., London; price--two shillings net, x The aim of Mr. Dirgle in this book is to present Einstein's famous theory {othe public in such a man. ner that the.average person of intel- ligence may get a glimpse of it, Other treatises on the subject heretofore have been for the scientist and phy- by Nearly Every One Purify the Bleed and Build Up Strength. to these without : A by impure, 3. vitaitsed Diosa. 3h strength red out tonic and blood is Hood's Sarsaparilla. me" as eriod work. { hinese --------aiiy Absence makes the heart grow fonder--of some ome else, usually. od's Spring Medicine ng often "takes | barks what he is. If he is a two-by-four, his skull will creak and groan under the strain when he is appointed chgirman of a committee to draw up lodge resolutions. If he is a four- by-six, he will need a larger hat when elected to the city council. If he is an eight-by-twelve, his head will remain normal until he works his way up to a big man's job. All heads swell more or less, hut only the small ones swell early and often; and the swelling never be- comes permanent until the patient realizes that he has gone as far as he can, Precedents Progressives scold because courts open ancient and dust-covered vol- umes in search of a precedent that will justify a decision in a present case, and persons who resent the re- strictions imposed by society taunt their more conservative fellows and accuse them of cowardice; but a re- spect for precedent is something more than an opinion fashioned of logic. It is an instinct bred in the bones of the race. We are the pro- geny of ten thousand generations, and the passibp§' and fears of our ancient sires stir us yet whether we will or no. I sicist, for the men who make pro- 'ound s'ud es of these things, devote their lives to them, The ordinary man, who looks on some new sclentl- {fic theory as a possibility, perhaps a | Weak one, which he would neverthe- {less like to hear more about, has had nothing to tell him what Einstein's "big idea' is or how it works out. The dominant aim throughout the book has been to make the ideas de- finite and intelligible to the ordinary mind. All other considerations-- strict philosophical phraseology, lt- erary graces, conventional 'forms of Presentation, everything, in fact, but truth__lave legen subordinated to this end. We learn from the book that the new doctrine of relativity entails a complete uprooting of the concep- tions that have formerly been held to lle inviolable at the foundations of thought and experience, The theory is not merely a metaphysical specu- lation. It has arisen in order to ex- plain certain faots of observation, which seem to point to it ag the most probable statement of the nature of the universe which we perceive, Many people will welcome this little volume. It ig rather discon- certing to read in papers about Ejin- stein's Theory, to hear it. talked about, to say "Yes, of course," when it is mentioned, and all without knowing in the least what it is all about. This book is the cure for the infirmity of ignorance in that regard. -- jHaggard's Latest Title, Messrs, Hodder and Stoughton were edlfied as to the extent of Rider Haggard"s titles recently when they received an urgent order for "Her."

Conwell, the Well-known author of the = inspira- tional work 'tAcres of Diaménds," sums up his latest book "Why Lin- ooly Laughed" (Hodder and Stough- ton, Toronto) with the following tell- ing words: "Did Lincoln believe, as Mark Twain said, that everything human is pathetic, the secret source of humor is sorrow?" 1 am sure I cannot say. I only know that humor to Lincoln séemed to be - a safety What man, when he stumbles ovor a chair at night and barks his shins, does not feel AD urge to kick ther chair through the dining room waif? Reason tells him that he cannot hope to hurt the chair and that an attack upon it will serve only to bruise his shins the more; but the desire to fall upon it and vent his wrath 1s almost overpowering. So his ancestors felt a million years ago, when a low-hanging limb cracked them on the skull. These ancestors had no benefit of reason; an attack was an attack, whether made by the limbs of a tree or the claws of a sabre-toothed tiger; and hard necessity urged them to fight back swiftly and blindly, Their poor minds could wot understand that the tiger had need of a dinner, while the limb hag no evil {inten« tion.
