RECENT BOOKS.
Short Notices Made at the Language Conference.
Prof Carruth: Germanisch Philologie,
a cyclopedic work on Philology, containing exhaustive treatment of the history of language development.
Prof. Canfield: L'evolution des Genres (Evolution of Literary Forms), by Ferdinand Brunieterie. A critical work which has recently received a kind of sanction through the election of its author to the French Academy. The first volume is devoted to the treatment of the development of the various forms of literature,—as (e. g.) fiction, poetry, history,—and the rest of the work to a history of literary criticism. The intention is, to logically determine what is the philosophy of present literary forms.
Prof. Hopkins; Personal Recollections of Nath. Hawthorne, Horatio Bridge.
A biography based upon personal knowledge resulting from a life-long friendship. It draws largely upon private letters, and thus gives what has never before been published. It is also valuable as revealing the character of its writer.
writer.
Prof. Willeox: Companion to the Hliad,
Walter Leaf, Valuable as throwing light upon some theories of its author not fully explained heretofore. The work was not intended for students, but merely for English readers.
Gospel and revelation of Peter. A translation of a recently discovered papyrus "Gospel and revelation," with lectures. Much of Dante's "Inferno" was drawn indirectly from this, having been based on Paul's Revelation, which was influenced by the revelation spoken of.
Plato and Platonism, Walter Pater. Very interesting, yet hard reading, and rather inspires us with the desire to read Plato instead of Pater.
The Partthenon, Ferguson- Not a recent book, but noticeable for its method of reasoning.
Greek Poetry in English Verse, edited by Prof. Appleton. Contains some very interesting translations, made by excellent translators.
History of Greek Sculpture, Colligon. Especially valuable for the light it throws on the influence of other people upon early Greek sculpture.
Communication.
That there were unpleasant things connected with last year's leisure course, none can deny; there was always a struggle between the ticket-holders, as to who could get the best seats—not unlike the struggle of four-footed animals around their feed-troughs. This is all useless, and should not exist. It is unpleasant, unmanly. And for those of the girls who reserve seats, it is indeed very embarrassing. The practice of registering has not remedied the evil. It merely caused the struggle to be made to see who should register first. Besides, it makes the ticket-holders trying to be the first on the ground, rise in the night. If this unusually early rising causes no permanent evil, neither does it produce the least good.
What I propose is, that the ticketholders shall draw their seats; and that a certain time be allowed for that purpose. This will give everyone a fair chance, the last comer as well as the first; and the brutal struggle will not take place at all, there will be nothing to gain by it.
Furthermore, I believe it is poor policy to sell all the tickets at one price. While there are many who would willingly pay a higher price, to insure themselves that they would procure coupons for a certain class of seats, there are others who would gladly buy seats if they were cheaper. I see no reason why the lecture course should be conducted differently from other entertainments; by being otherwise conducted, does the course not fail, in some degree, to please the public?
And if the suggestion concerning a scale of prices were adopted, it need not interfere at all with the plan of drawing.
coupons for seats; the coupons would merely have to be divided into two or three classes to correspond with the classes of seats. And each man who drew a coupon should gain the right to reserve one or two adjacent seats also.

IN THE California Magazine for November appears an article, under the title "Parks and Reservations," which it is somewhat surprising to find in such a magazine. It is a criticism of the policy of keeping national scenery from destruction and preserving the native aspect of a few of our most beautiful regions, in order that we may not lack as people the sublime influences of nature's wonderwork, so much of which has already been sacrificed to the merciless demands of a commercial civilization.
Sthen an appeal for the surrender to sure destruction of "the grandest scenery of the universe" is the legitimate outcome of a feeling which animates many an American heart (as well as many a British heart)—that everything must have value in dollars and cents, must bring forth actual gold and silver, or give place to something more "practical," more "useful." The ruination of all the beauties and grandeur of Yosemite and Yellowstone would be a little thing, compared with the incalculable injury this spirit has already worked among men. Yet we eliciting to it even in college, and call ourselves students, scientists and philosophers, when we are nothing but dickerers planning the best way to make a bargain. If education were only made compulsory and a course of spiritual microscopy included in the work prescribed, with truth for lenses instead of golden eagles, how many minds would be struck dumb to see the universe once, in a pure light!

A Challenge.
Policy holders in other companies are asked to compare their dividends with the above, and produce its equal if they can. Why don't you exercise the same care and judgment in buying life insurance that you do in other important business matters. Is not the matter of a few thousand dollars to your families of as much importance as the buying of a suit of clothes or a load of wood.
