BOOK NOTICES.
“Apprentices to Destiny,” by Lily A.
Long. Merrill & Baker 74 Fifth avenue,
New York. Cloth *l. This is a western
novel, and deals with cultivated people.
“The scene opens in that capital of the
middle west, Chicago, but soon shifts lo a
pretty little town which seems to be about
a hundred miles away. Between these
two the drama is played out. It is a story
with a beginning, a middle and an end,
and the interest grows steadily until the
last page is turned. But the author has
put her strength upon the characters
rather than upon the plot. There are
many characters and they maintain a con
sistency which attests their individual
truthfulness. But it is a far try from
such realism as this to the realism that
finds truth only in the unlovely side of
human nature. There is truth in these
pictures of natural, well-bred people, who
differ materially from tho western eccen
trics supposed to be characteristic of life
beyond the Alleghenies, but it is a real
ism that is at one with good al t and gen
tle tastes.
“Tales from Town Topics.” The Town
Topics Publishing Company, 21 West
Twenty-third street, New York. Paper,
50 cents. The leading story in this nmn-t
ber is "An Eclipse of Virtue,” by Cham
pion Bissell. It is a very interesting
story, and one that has already won a
good deal of popularity. There is also a
large number of short stories, poems and
bright paragraphs.
“Dixie Poems.” by Orie Bower. The
Bower Book Company, Denver, Col.
Paper, 50 cents. These poems deal with
scenes and events of the war of secession,
and are written irom a southern stand
point. Most of them are well worth
reading.
MAGAZINES.
The Century for March bristles with
points, having a number of articles on
novel and unique topics written by per
sons specially qualified to treat them.
The opening article is a sketch of life in
“The fuileries under the Second Empire.”
by Miss Anna L. Bieknell. who was an
ir.mateof the Tuileries as an instructorof
the children of one of the court families.
“Earthquakes and How to Measure
Them” is the subject of a popular paper
by Prof. Edward S. Holden of the nick
Observatory It explains the principleof
the seismometer, and reeords the latest
word of science in regard to these phe
nomena. Among the illosi rations is a
curious map of the Charleston earth
quake, showing the lines of equal shock
and those of co-incident shock. The arti
cle, deals with the noted earthquakes of
the last twelve years. Mrs. Sophie How
ard Ward contributes a “find” in ths
shape of the story of the “Mischianza.”or
the famous farewell banquet given in
Philadelphia in 1778 in honor of Sir Will
iam Howe, then comm, nder-in-ehief of
the British armies in America, Mrs. Ward
supplying the preface, and the main story
of the fete being from the unpublished
manuscript of Ma or John Andre. The
foregoing are only a few of the good
things in the number for this month. The
Century Company. Union square, New
York.
The March issue of St. Nicholas is like
a modern army—not a few paladins and
an accompanying rabble, but a congrega
tion of effective units, with an officer
where needed. Every article can look tho
juvenile or adult world square in the
face and give a reason for its being. A
running comment upon the contents will,
perhapes, best acquaint the public with
the grounds for this opinion. "Mother
ing Sunday” claims the frontispiece and
the first article, and is a short statement
designed to explain a name that has out
lived its origin: an American finds
Thanksgiving Day a satisfactory sub
stitute. "Uwuey, of the Mail-Bars” de
scribes a little cur who lias sworn al
legiance to the “U. S. M.,” and travels
from “Dan to Beersheba” without ceas
ing. Harriet Monroe, in “Broken Friend
ship,” tells a little fable (with illustra
tions by F. S. Church) pointing cut that
Aspiration and Griibbing- are an ill-sorted
couple—or, if that isn’t what she moans,
THE MORNING NEW’S: MON DAY', MARCH 5. IS9I.
how do you interpret her little story f
St. Nicholas shows a steady improvement.
The Century Company, Union Square,
New Y'ork.
The Atlantic Monthly for March con
tains one article of the greatest import
ance to every one interested in the ques
tion of education. It is entitled “The Re
form of Secondary Eduacation in the
United Stales.” and is written by Ni ho
las Murray Butler, Pta. D., professor of
philosophy and lecturer on the history
and institutes of education in Columbia
Coliege, and editor of the Educa
tional Review. The author h re reviews
the recent valuable report of the commit
tee of ten apt oin’ed by the National I du
cational Association, criticises its work,
aud predicts the greatest benefit to the
cause of education in this country if the
secondary schools and collcg. s will profit
b.v the re ommvndationsof thecomn i tee.
Tais pa : er s..ou and be read by all persons,
espe, ia lvb.v tuose who ha e seen the re
port. as it shows the opinion of a well
known educa oron the work of the com
mittee oi ten. Houghton. Mittiin M Cos.,
No. 11 Last 17th street. New Y’ork.
The North American Review haa sel
dom offered its readers so great a variety
ol subjects as the March number contains,
nor presented to them a more remarkable
list of contributors. The opening article,
which is entitled “The House of Repre
sentatives and the Houseof Commons,” is
certain to attract considerable attention
on both sides of the Atlantic. It is by the
Secretary of the Navy. Hon. Hilary A.
Herbert, whose long service in the popu
lar branch of congress makes him pecu
liarly qualified to discuss the question
from the American point of view. Sarah
Grand, author of “The Heavenly Twins,”
contributes a clever and powerful article
on the relaiionof the sexes, and Archibald
Forbes, the famous war correspondent,
discusses "The Outlook for War in
Europe” in a masterly manner. North
American Review, No. 8 East Fourteenth
street, New Y’ork.
Harper’s Magazine for March is a
superb number. Besides the third instal
ment of Mr. George du Maurier s Trilby,
illustrated with fifteen pictures by the
author, the number contains live short
stories. They are “The Buckley Lady.”
a love story of colonial Massa husetts, by
Miss Mary K. Wilkins (see extract on
pages 12, 13); “At a Private View,” a
“ v ignette of Manhattan,” by Brander
Matthews; “Cache-Cache,” a tale of the
1 rench Revolution, by William McLen
nan ; "A Partie Caree,” the su>ry of a
Mediterranean yachting cruise, by W.
E. Norris; aud “An Cndivined Tragedy,”
a romance of English rural life, by Lau
rence Alma Taderna. “The Editor's
Study” discusses the hope of American
literature, some results of the Columbian
exposition, and the advantages and disad
vantages of large cities.
The March number of The Forum con
tains a sharp discussion of the income
tax. The Hon. Uriel S. Hall, member of
congress from Missouri, who has made
himself a great authority on this subject,
writes in favor of it; and Mr. David A.
Wells against it. The number also con
tains the first of a series of articles on
different systems of Socialism or Com
munism that are favored ny different
groups of agitato;s in the United States;
Mr. Edward Bellamy explains definitely
the programme of the Nationalists, and
Prof. William G. Sumner of Y ale Univer
sity criticises this programme, showing
I its impracticability. Another striking
I article is a searching inquiry into the
causes of railroad failures in 1893. by Mr.
Simon Sterne. The lorum Publishing
Company, Union Square, New York.
“The Story of the W’orld’s Parliament
of Religions” is told by Rev. F. Herbert
Stead in the Review of Reviews for
j March. Mr. Stead groups together the
| significant utterances of various repre-
I seutatnes who look part in the proceed
i ings of the W orld’s Parliament of Re
; ligious, some ol which throw anew light
upon the faith and beliefs of Eastern
i Europe and Asia. The nature and value
of the article is sugg< sted by the follow
ing subheads: “What Idol Worship
Means,” "Hinduism Eased on Revela
tion,” “No Polytheism in India,” “The
Bane of India." "Essentials of Hindu
Faith,” "Buddha's f our Noble Truths.”
“The Jans Not Atheists.” “Confucian
Ethics” and the "Shinto’s Scheme f< r
Ending War.” Review of Reviews, us
Astor Place, New Y’ork.
The March issue of Romance opens
with a clever story of studio life in New
York by Elizabeth VV. Champney, which
throws anew light upon many mysteries
aud explodes a favorite bubblo of the
mediums. A group of three humorous
talcs, the leading of which is by “oosiah
Allen's wife,” forms a prominent feature
of the number, aud will bring many a
smile to the longest face. Anew story of
Lord Tennyson, a quaint but impressive
ghost story, powerful love tales by Guy
fie Maupassant and Helen Leo Sargent, a
thrilling narrative of the civil war, and
charming sketches by Jules Claretie,
Erckmann-Chatrian and many others,
makeup an extraordinary array of attrac
tions. Romanco Publishing Company,
Clinton Hall, Astor Place, New Y’ork.
A more notable magazine in the names
of its contributors than the March Mc-
Clure’s, has rarely t ome from the press.
Kipling, Herbert Spencer, Robert Louis
Stevenson. Conan Doyle and Octave
Thanet certainly make a list that it is
hard to equal. And, what is more to the
point, the contributions are quite as dis
tinguish! and as the contributors. The
short s or.y by Mr. Kipling is one of his
best; the short story by Octave Thanet
is one of her best. Conan Doyle's i ontri
bution, " ihe Glamour of the Arctic,” is
not a slory. but it has more than the in
terest of one, ior it is an account of an
arctic whaling, wri .ten with Dr. Doyle’s
best grace, from bis own personal e.q eri
enc. S. S. McClure, Limited, 743 Broad
way, New York.
Blue and Gray for March is thoroughly
enjoyable throughout. The frontispiece
is a graphic picture of Farragut's fleet
passing the forts at the mouth of Mobile
Bay, showing the sinking of the “Tecum
seh,” ana is one of the best of Mr. Xan
thus Smith’s recent drawings. A careful
and accurate sketch of the ram “Tennes
see.” also from Mr. Smith's brush, is
worth securing and keeping. The Farra
gut scries is now nearly completed, and
has been a very popular feature of this
popular magazine. The Patriotic Ameri
can Company, Philadelphia.
The greatest change noticed in liter
ary matters the past year, is the temerity
with which the publishers oi the South
ern Magazine have pushed into tbe field
a monthly of great excellence, until now
one can get this Maga ine at ail news
stands in the United States where the
Century is sold. And it is bought, too;
and so vviil it grow in popularity, to the
south's great reward, so sure as its stan
dard Is maintained, which seems assured
as every issue marks a literary and artis
tic improvement. Southern Magaaue,
Louisville, Ky.
Lippincott’s for March is a particularly
good number. The complete novel, en
titled "A Desert Claim,” is o.v Mary E.
Stlckney. It is a strong story. Joel
Chandler Harris has a short story en
tled “The i ate Mr. Watkins of Georgia,”
which wifi be read with pleasure. There
are a number of first-class articles on gen
eral sub.ects by the best writers. Lip
pineoit's is one of the most popular maga
zines of the i ountry. J. B. Lippincott &
Cos., Philadelphia.
It is not what its proprietors say, but
what Hood’s Sarsaparilla does, that tells
the story of its merit. Hood's Sarsapa

BANKER CLEWS’ VIEvVS.
The Financial Outlook as Seen From
Wall Street.
New Y'ork, March 3.—Wall street be
gins to show an impro 'e.i feeling, and au
increase of speculative interest. The
reasons are various, and may be brie jy
stated as follows:
1. There is an unmistakable improvement
in the tone and volume of genenl trade.
That recovery has been coming slowly
and almost imperceptibly’ever since the
opening of the year; but it is now per
ceived to be an establisned fact, and finds
expression in a diminution of complaint,
and in a more confident feeling ana treer
buying. This is conspicuously the case
in no dry goods trade, which is largely
represencaiive of mos, ofiier trades, and
in whi, h complaint has oeen mostceneral.
In that de| artment, prices n ,ve setlld
down to a reduction avera ing aboat
per c ent., coaioared with a year
atro on cotton goods, aud .0 to 20 per cent,
on woolen and wors.ed goods;
and on this basis of prices dis ribu
ters have evidently become willing to buy.
It is to be remembered tnat the spring
trade of last year was unusually active,
aud comparisons with that period must
make allowance for that fact. The fall in
C rices of course reduces the volume of
usiness when measured by values; but
it is doubtful if the volume, as estimated
by quantity, now shows any important
decline from average years: this being es
pecially the case with respect to co.ton
goods, while the showing on wool fabrics
may be somewhat less favorable One
noteworthy feature is that collections are
made with a promptness which shows
the financial condition of dealers to be
healthy. In the grocery trade, the con
di .ions are about the same as in dry goods,
the jobbing sales being about equal
iu quantity to those of a y’ear ago,
while prices are lOqzlfi per cent, lower,
and collections reasonably satisfactory.
In the iron trade, a largely increased bus
iness could be done if there were greater
harmony among manufacturers ~ about
prices, which are being held up with a
persistency which the situation does not
seem to justify, and this prevents buyers
ol railroad and structural iron and steel
from operating. These are plain indica
tions that the worst stage of the business
depression has gone by, and hat we have
certainly entered upon a period of recov
ery which only needs the end of tariff
legislation in order to its developing into
an established recovery in the general
trade of the country.
2. The preparations of the Paris bourse
for giving American securities an exten
sive representation upon its official “call”
is having a distinctly hopelul effect. Cer
tain preparations have to be made in or
der to specifically adapt our issues to tho
French market. It is found necessary to
devise some way of expressing the face
inscription of bonds or s.ocks in the
French language; and, to meet the wants
of the numerous class of small French in
vestors, bonds will need to be
issued iu small denominations; but
no difficulty will be encountered
iu meeting these requirements These
preliminaries being disposed of, buying
on account of this new market may be ex
pected : and those best acquainted with
this movement and with the peculiarities
of French investors anticipate that tho
demand will prove important. The pres
ent exceptionally low range of prices cer
tainly a.iords an unusuai inducement for
French financiers to nuy our stocks with
a view to distributing them at an advance
when the Bourse provides the new facili
ties. The anticipation of this new ele
ment is having a certain reviving effect
upon expectations rather than on present
transactions.
3. The lime is close at hand for effect
ing settlements of some of the large rail
road receiverships. The Erie, the Read
ing and the Richmond Terminal readjust
ments are expected to be completed some
time within the present month. Drexel,
Morgan fit. Cos. have come to an under
standing with the floating debt syndicate
of the Richmond Terminal Company, b.v
which the principal obstacle is removed,
and that brings the Richmond Terminal
affairs within easy settlement. The
restoration of the large mass of securities
connected with these roads to their usual
status on the market will have a good
effect in renewing confidence and in en
couraging transactions on the exchange.
4. The impression steadily strengthens
that the industrial situation is returning
to a normal state. Already, a very large
proportion of the lately suspended ma
chinery of the country has resumed work,
and the still unemployed is gradually
starting up. At the same time, we notice
less complaint of the anticipated dis
turbance of production through the new
tariff. This change of tone seems to be
due principally to the fact that the new
conditions in which tho changes of
duty will place our industries are
becoming better understood. Somo.hing
is due also to the widespread reduction
of wages in almost every employment,
which enables employers to resume work
on lower prices and upon safer conditions.
The distinct re. ival of demand, as indi
cated above, has also a direct tendency to
encourage production. Thus, in indus
trial and commercial affairs, everything
seems to be drifting toward a resumption
of operations, not immediately upon a
scale of normal activity, butonconditions
deemed safe and which may be expected
to lead to a steady expansion of business.
The foregoing , onditions cannot fail m
have an tncouraging e .ect upon Wall
street affairs. They point to a fu.herre
covery of confidence, to the resumption of
suspended undertakings, to preparations
for starting new enterprises, to the
strengthening of credit, and the return of
a healthier tone on the merney market.
We therefore feel free to suggest that the
outlook is encouraging to the purchase of
stocks that have a solid basis of value.

A POLICE DRILL SUGGESTED.
The Use of S’uotruns by Mounted
Men May R quip* It.
The announcement that the mounted
poli e are to be armed with Winchester
repeating shotguns has created consider
able interest among citizens generally,
us well as the police.
The object o the police committee is no
do lit the better equipment of tho police
with a view ot removing as far us possi
ble the ros-i iLt.v of the occurr. n eof
such anot er trace 1 v ns the one in which
Policeman Neve ost his life.
The intention .s >ommcndab!e. and
the move was gen -rally approved
when lust anno an, ed. Fhe po.ice
aiul some of thi ir friends are be
ginning to question now, however,
whether the c :change of p.stols for shot
guns w ill make any improvement in the
oiuipmetit of the moun.ed men. aud
whether it is not likely to be more of a
detriment than of an advantage.
The qu- si.on is, it the police arc at a
fiisad uut.igu in firing irom horseback
with pis.ois. will they not be at a greater
disadvantage with a shot un, whi h is a
larger and more unwieldy weapon: and if
a policeman cannot i outrol his horse
while firing a pistol, how is ha
to control him while firing a shotgun,
which will require both hands to use,
while a pistol re iuires only one When
a policeman begins to use his pistol every
sensible person endearors to get as far
from his neighborhood as possible, be
cause there is uo telling where the bullets
are i oinc
it could not be otherwise when they so
seldom iet an opportunity to use their
pistols, and are ne er practiced at the
target It would appear to be a wise in
novation in the rule of the police depart
ment to require o. casional practice at the
target with the pistol.
There would be an advantage in the in
troduction o shotguns, however, as with
half ado en bullets to each load, the po
lice would stand more chance of hitting
something when they fired. It’ is ob
jected, however, that the shot guns will
bo unwieldly and cumbersome, and that
they will prove of more inconvenience
than advantage.
Another thing to be considered is that
tho horses of the poli o department are
not trained to stand i re as it would seem
they should be. Ihe police horses do not
have a pistol shot fired over their heads
once a year on an average. It
was owing to this fact douoticss that
the horses of Policemen Novo and McCabe
behaved so badly while their riders be
haved so bravely in the attack on .Smalls.
If shotguns aro to tie introduced as an
arm of the police department, it wo fid
appear to be advisable to make some
chan es in the rules regulating that de
partment
