BOOKS OF THE DAY.
Review of the Century Achieve
ments and Failures—“Appre
ciation” of an Age.
Alfred Russell Wallace, In a book he
has named “The Wonderful Century,” re
views In a learned and systematic man
ner the scientific gifts to man that dis
covery, Invention, research and study
have made since 1800. His work Is strictly
impartial, for he also sets out in imposing
array the errors that show as dark blots
on the century’s path. As positive benefit
is, however, so much more vivid than
negative harm, the panorama Mr. Wal
lace presents in the first half of his book,
of the triumphant steam engine, sewing
machine, telegraph, camera, phonograph,
telephone, spectroscope and other benefi
cent instruments of good, makes a far
stronger impression on the mind's retina
than the rather lurking figures of neglect
of phrenology, insistence upon vaccina
tion. present prison system, and other ab
stract evils he tries to depict in equally
glaring colors. In the second half. So
vital to him, indeed, is his theory, for in
stance, that vaccination Is a "criminal de
lusion” that he devotes the longest chap
ter in his thick book to the subject, and
brings figures, anecdotes and statistics to
bear in an alarming flood.
It is an easy Look to review, if excite
ment does not lead one afield, for the rea
son that Mr. Wallace stops and clinches
every nail as he goes. After “Modes of
Traveling,” “Conveyance of Thought,”
new applications of light, discoveries in
geology, physiology, evolution,cosmic the
ories and other gains have been separate
ly discussed, and in detail, Mr. Wallace
sums up the achievements of the century
in line and presents a perfect list. And
comparing the progress of this century
with that of any'other, and indeed of all
others, the writer finds our own fully to
deserve the name he has given it, “won
derful,” “both as regards the number and
the quality of its onward advances.” As
there are no backward advances. Mr.
Wallace may be criticised slightly for his
English here.
It is in enumerating the demerits of the
age that Mr. Wallace’s book is in any
way striking. He makes a great point ot
the neglect of phrenology, almost as If it
were an exact science in itself. The ob
servations and le^fncr-gc Combs,
who oeg?i. by refusing to hear Spui..e*m.
the great phrenologist, when he gave a
course of lectures in Edinburgh, and end
ed by adopting all his methods, have been
attentively studied by Mr. Wallace, and
in them, as well as by the teachings of
the earlier and other disciples of phre
nology. Mr. Wallace has found such con
clusive proof of the truth and importance
of the study as to make him deplore bit
terly the indifference of scientists and
students generally to the science. Ex
amples of Combe's phrenological esti
mates of patients in the Newcastle luna
tic asylum have convinced Mr. Wallace
by the wonderful accuracy with which
the cases themselves corroborated the
diagnoses by facts in their lives and tem
peraments. Other phrenologists have had
their tests verified, and Mr. Wallace feels
that a great duty to criminals and those
suffering from mental disease—as well as
many of those afflicted physically—has
been deplorably neglected.
As to vaccination, deaths from the pro
cess, lifelong ills attributable to it. and
the fact above all that it is not vaccina
tion but cleanliness that has checked zy
motic diseases so signally of late years,
have made Mr. Wallace not only skepti
cal. but vehement. He argues, prelimi
narily, before going on to prove his case,
that doctors are not fair judges of the
efficacy of inoculation, because they are
the interested parties, “not merely in a
pecuniary sense, but as affecting the pres
tige of the whole profession.”

THE CELEBRATED DREYFUS CASE.
The disclosures made by Colonel Picquart and his dramatic declaration that he
did not intend to commit suicide while in prison were new sensations in the Dreyfus
case. All i ranee is stirred up over the matter and every important episode in connec
tion therewith is vividly n>called by the people. Tho government’s decision to grant
Captain Dreyfus a new trial has increased tho excitement.
RARE MANUSCRIPTS.
nany Drawings and Texts from the 10th Century
Found as Bindings for Books of the Medieval Age
Contained in the University of Chicago Library.
A new field for the scholar and the his
torian in the line of research has been
opened up by the remarkable discover
ies made by Professor Caspar Reno
Gregory at the Uuiversity of Chicago.
In examining some dilapidated volumes
in the Berlin, Ilengstenberg and Ide col
lections in the university library the fa
mous Leipsic scholar stumbled onto some
rare manuscripts protruding from the
covers of the old tomes, and an Investi
gation was set on foot that gives prom
ise of added riches to the realm of liter
ature and scholarship.
The discovery is original with Professor
Gregory, and the novel method employed
threatens to revolutionize modern re
search work. Following in Professor
Gregory's footsteps there will in all
probability be an overhauling of old and
rare volumes in every library and mu
seum in the land, and the field will be
practically limitless. The work only just
begun at the University of Chicago offers
. an index of what may be expected when
the thousands of old books are brought
from their hiding places and the accum
ulated dust of centuries brushed off and
the covers laid hare and torn apart for
the scrutiny of the bibliophile.
Professor Gregory has been at work on
the ancient treasures only a few days,
•but in that time he has brought to light
manuscripts which, if only the age is ta
ken into consideration, will fully repay
the labor spent. In books written In the
fifteenth and sixteenth centuries have
already been discovered parchment man
uscripts dating back to the tenth and
eleventh centuries. Owing to the short
time and multifarious other duties. Pro
fessor Gregory has been able to make on
ly superficial examinations of the docu
ments thus unexpectedly laid hare, but
though only cursory glances have been
bestowed the work has given promise of j
tremendous possibilities.
The documents brought to light cover
a variety of subjects. In the covers of
one book were found numerous pages
torn from a Latin primer of the fifteenth
or sixteenth century. In another was |
pasted between the outside leather cover- j
ing and birehwood on the inside copious I
extracts from Roman law. written in the j
eleventh century. The latter parchment
is a work of art itself. It is beautifully
written, while every margin and space is
covered with notes and comments. The j
original text is well sprinkled with il- j
lumined letters in various colors. Be- i
tween the two columns of the text some !
latter day student has added his concep
tion of the subject by making numerous j
drawings ranging in topics from an illus-
tration of garden implements to the re- j
production of what bears a strong re- ]
semblance to the Brazilian armadillo, j
How the medieval bookbinder obtained j
such valuable parchment and why he
shoul put it to such unhallowed use is
still a mystery to Professor Gregory.
Religious topics among the old manu
scripts seems to predominate. Thus on
the outside of an old and rare volume is
written in a beautiful hand a Bible text
in old German. The Inside page is a
treatise on German orthography of the
year 1610. Works on theology and Bible
teaching are numerous. The majority
of the documents are written by monks.
One of the illustrations is taken
from the back of a commentary on
Isaiah. Where it originally came from
is a deep mystery. In scrawly hand is
written on the upper corner of the fly
leaf that it was written in the Monas
tery of Exford in 1442. From the in
scription it is apparent that it was written
by Carthusian monks in the monastery
of the Hoi} - Savior.
On the front cover of the same book
was pasted a piece of parchment with an
inscription In Latin. The parchment
was stuck next to the birehwood cover,
and a reverse duplicate copy was the re
sult. This piece of manuscript was
written, it is stated, by the prior of the.
convent on the day after St. Agatha's
day in the year 1441.
Some of the older manuscripts discov
ered by Professor Gregory give a perfect
illustration of changes that successive
scholars have thought necessary in order
to conform with their own views. In
some Instances the original letters were
erased and different words substituted.
The change is easily distinguished from
the difference in inks used and the differ
ent handwritings. It is hoped and ex
pected that in the investigations to fol
low the original manuscripts, with the
alterations as later made on the first
parchment, will be discovered and that
many altered texts that have been the
despair of scholars may be set right.
Professor Gregory will be able to carry
on the investigations just begun only a
little longer. He is at present giving
a series of lectures at the university.and
he _ will return to Germany in the’ fall.
The work, however, will in ail proba
bility not be suffered to lapse by his ab
sence. Others will carry it on, and the
University of Chicago will not’be alone
in the new* field of research. Professor
Gregory himself will return home and
expects to give every spare moment to
further investigation. The great Ger
man libraries will he ransacked.
The majority of the manuscripts of
value thus far discovered have been
found pasted in between the outside
leather covering of the books and the
parchment inside. Parchment, being
stronger, but also costlier, was used only
on the more valuable books. Paper is
the material employed in others, and in
few the birch back employed in stiffening
the cover is left bare. The parchment
pasted on the inside covers of the books
have yielded big returns, and only a be
ginning has been made so far. Pro
fessor Gregor}' has been unable to pay
attention to the work in hand as much
a = he would wish to. hut in talking he
said that the work had limitless possibil
ities. To show what might be expected,
he said that pieces of one manuscript
had been found which were pasted on
books scattered over three centuries. He
confidently expects to be rewarded b
the finding of some of the lost manu
scripts, for which systematic search has
been made in every conceivable way.
The work may be done scientifically
and in such a way that the manuscripts
mav be extracted without destroying the
value of the books. The outside leather
or parchment covering may be disturbed
and the appearance of the volumes need
not be altered.
The man who has opened up the new
field in research is known where} er
scholarship is appreciated. Professor
Gregory is an American by birth, hut
has spent many years in Europe, and es
pecially in Germany. He was born in
Philadelphia in 1S46. In 1SC4 he gradu
ated from the University of Pennsyl
vania with the degree of bachelor of arts.
In 1ST2 he completed a course at the
Princeton Theological seminary. The de
grees of doctor of philosophy and licen
tiate of theology were conferred on him
bv the University of Leipsic. From
Leipsic Professor Gregory also received
in 1S93 the degree of doctor of theology.
ar.d the University of Pennsylvania con
ferred on him in 1S94 the degree of doctor
of laws.
NEW FORMS OF CHRISTIAN
EDUCATION.
By Mrs. Humphry Ward, author of
“Robert Elemere.” 39 pp., 12mo, cloth; 35
cents.
Mrs. Ward, the brilliant author of
“Robert Elsmere” and other popular nov
els, declares that “we are on the even of
a new Christianity." but she believes that
“the faith of nineteen centuries has been
no delusion.'' that “the history of these
centuries themselves, of the part played
therein and of the transformations suffer
ed by that force which we call 'the life
of Christ' will enter into the new symbo-
lum fidei whenever it appears.” Love and
faith she considers as the very basis of
all education; “love to the most lovable
thing that history contains, which is the
story- and character and preaching of Je
sus Christ; and faith, that in so making it
lovable and beautiful in our eyes, in lift
ing it to such a place in human life, the
Divine Mind has given us or^e chief clew
to its own nature and purposes for man;
and that in calling us to the work of
Christian reconstruction, the Power
whose we are and whom we serve is only
bidding us turn another and a fuller page
of his best and tenderest lesson to us.”
Mrs. Ward considers this the greatest
epoch m the history of Christianity since
the coming of Christ himself and with
simplicity and modesty yet with eloquence
she pictures the changing conditions of
the day. It is a tractate that should be in
the hands of every thoughtful person.

NO PERFECT BOOK IN WORLD.
I remember once of a publisher in Lon
don, says a writer in Harper’s Round Ta
ble, who made up his mind, to publish a
book that should have n<j. typographical
errors whatever. He had lilA proofs cor
rected by his own proof-readers
until they all assured him that
there were no longer any errors In the
- Then he sent proofs to the univer-
sitiefe
that could be found. Hundreds of proofs
were sent out in this way and many
skilled proof-readers examined the pages
In the hope of earning a prize. A few er
rors were discovered. Then, all the proof-
sheets having been heard from, the pub
lisher felt assured that his book would
be an absolutely perfect piece of compo
sition.
He had the plates very carefully cast,
the edition printed and bound between
expensive covers—because as a perfect
specimen of the printer's art It was, of
course, unique In literature and exceed
ingly valuable to bibliophiles. The edi
tion sold well and was spread ail over
the country. The publisher was very
much pleased with himself for having
done something that had hitherto been
considered an Impossibility. Then his
pride had a fall, for six or eight months
later he received a letter calling his at
tention to an error in a certain line on a
certain page. Then came another letter
announcing the discovery of a second er
ror in this apparently perfect book. I be
lieve before the year was up four or five
mistakes were found.
BUTTERWORTH’S STORY OF
AMERICA.
The Werner Company. Akron. Ohio, an
nounces for immediate publication “The
Story of America,” by Hezekiah Butter-
worth.
It is a compact history of the L'nited
States from the earliest times to the sign
ing of the peace protocol concluding our
war with Spain.
The importance of the work is derived
from two elements—the timeliness of the
book and its distinguished author.
The conclusion of the Spanish-Ameri-
can war. with all that is involved there
by, marks an epoch in our nation’s his
tory; furnishes, so to speak, a new and
loftier platform from which - a clearer
view is caught of our country’s glorious
record: from which, too. we can turn to
the future and look with less obstructed
vision on the inspiring promises of better
days yet to come, when our victories
shall be only those of peace and prosper
ity. It is peculiarly fitting, then, at this
time, that a history of our country, pre
senting a view from the new coigne of
vantage, be placed within reach of all.
The publishers have been exceptionally
fortunate in securing the services of Mr.
Butterworth for the work in hand. He
is an author of established and increas
ing reputation. He is everywhere known
from his quarter-of-a-century’s connec
tion with the Youth’s Companion, as edi
tor; from his delightful stories of travel
“The Zigzag Journeys.” his vivid por
trayal of early New England life, his
charming stories eagerly sought by the
editors of leading magazines: his patriotic-
poems; his relations with educational
movements, the Kindergarten. The Red
Cross Society, The Peace Association. To
what more loyal hands could the work
of producing a short, readable, authentic
history of the discovery of the western
world, the early struggles, growth, set
backs and prosperity of our nation have
been confided? Who is there capable of
turning to better advantage the wealth
of material presented, who could make
of the history of this republic a stronger
plea for patriotism, freedom and educa
tion?
Old and young alike will read the book
with equal interest and profit. Parents
can safely place it in the hands of their
children with the knowledge it will in
struct. entertain, inspire and enthuse
readers on whose shoulders will soon be
resting the tremendous responsibility of
conducting, for better or for worse, the
affairs of this republic.

BURIAL RITES
OF PORTO RICO
(Continued from Page One.)
have given up the ghost. The columba
rium is long and deep .and narrow like an
old-fashioned brick oven, with a marble
slab for a door, which, after the body
has been placed within, is hermetically
sealed. And there, the dead are left to
simmer in the dreadful tropical heat; but
that may seem vastly better than to be
planted in a shallow grave, with the dread
certainty of being “resurrected” within
three, four or five years, and what there
is left of one tossed into an angle of the
walls.
Grief with the Spaniards is short-lived,
if we may judge from the condition ot ,
their cemeteries. In the tropics, particu- ,
larlv, where one might expect greater
care on the part of the authorities, if
only from sanitary considerations, atten- |
tion to the departed is more lax than in
the north. Except in largo cities, such j
as Havana and the City of Mexico, the ,
spots selected for interment of the dead
are in a state of woeful neglect. The i
graves, mostly indicated by plain wooden I
crosses, painted black, and leaning to j
every point of the compass, are sunken
in. while the open pits from which those
whose terms have expired have been re- j
moved are numerously interspersed.
Decay soon sets in. within the tropics, ,
not alone of the mortal frame, but of the j
artificial environments of wood and the j
vestures. The cadaver is hardly out ot
sight before the destructive forces of na
ture are at work, and externally the
graves are subject to swift change; in a I
few days they are covered with a carpet •
of green, quick-growing plants, and in
the course of a season, if loft to itselt. the t
place of sepulture is hidden out of sijafflt. j
This general neglect of cemeteries is no-
ticed throughout the West Indies, and .
particularly in the Spanish islands; ;
though in the English possessions, such j
as Jamaica and Barbadoes. one finds a J
pleasant contrast, in the country church
yards, which, adjacent to neat little
places of worship, are carefully and de
voutly cared for and kept in order.
THE POINTS OF A CAT. j
A good cat—the kind you want to have
in the house, if any—will have:
A round, stubby, pug nose; full, fat j
cheeks and upper lip: a well-developed i
bump on top of the head between the
ears, betokening good nature.
A sleepy cat that purs a good deal is
apt to be playful and good natured.
By all means to be avoided is a cat with |
a thin sharp nose, twitching ears. It j
must he remembered also that a good
mouser is not necessarily a gentle or de- j
sirable pet. Although any good cat will
catch mice if she is not overfed, quick,
full expressive eyes generally betoken
a mousing cat.
The greatest mistake, and probably
the most common one. in the care of
domestic cqts is overfeeding, particular
ly too much meat. In the wild life the
cat has exercise which enables her to di
gest food. In the lazy house life the
same full feeding leads to stomach
troubles and to “fits.” The best remedy
for this trouble is no food for twenty
hours.
