"NEW, NOVEL, A BOOK WITH A PURPOSE.

In her new novel Miss Coralli carries 'on thin definite lesson which was conveyed in Word wood and in Boy. The purpose of Holy Of dem becomes a vital part of a great artistic creation; but the authoreas's object will have bean served if every reader into whose bands her book may fall will have the courage to face the Drink evil in all it hideous nakedness, make war on its ravages, and pray with her that "the wicked fiancial profit derived by the few out of the physical and mʼral debasemadi of the many, may be check id finally come to naught, so that the Brit a péople, released at last from the du unant sway of the liquor traffic, may rise to the best of everything in ‹ them.".

The scene of the story is laid in the dreary little village of Shadbrook, in the Cotswolds, The vicar of the parish of Shadbrook, an ultra. religious type of minister, is convinced that his purpose in life is to gird on his spiritual sword and buckler, and go forth to battle with the sin and depravity caused by the Demon of Drick which is eating like croker into the life and soul of his parishionern. -

A VIGIL AND ITS SEQUEL. * To facyath Miller, village beauty, and a girl [889 of obscure parentage, the vicar deputes the task of preventing the village drunkard, Dad Kiernan, who is a fit of drunken fury bas nearly killed his wife, from obtaining more liquor. Jacynth, lovely and coquettish, and herself the victim of the drink habit, performs her task with calamitous results. She stays up with Kieman, whose drinkfuddled, brais and animal nature are fired by her beauty, through the night, while in the adjoining chamber lies the half-murder ed wife, all bleeding and braised by the blows her husband, kas inflicted on her. —The result of Jacyath's vigil may be conceive od. In attempting to stifle one evil the unfer tunate vicar bas unwittingly helped in the accomplishment of another, and a fresh scandal in provided for the village gossips. When the matter comes to the knowledge of Jencie Kieroan, the poor wife, the blow is too severo

Among the striking passages in the book are these

Every man is just the same wherever a woman's concerned-strong or weak, plain or bandsome, married or single-they're all the same fool quality!

It is all very well to blame the people for drinking poison, but the worst of the evil is with the national Government, which not only allows poison, to be made and sold freely, but which actually legalises the sale, and not unfre- quently rewards some of the chief poisoners with peerages and other titles of honour.

Many a brewer and spirit-distiller is nothing but a commercial Crepe Borgia, whose' poison. ing tricks are carried, or, not for vengeance, but for gain-and who is, therefore, more.sur- did in his wickedness then even the medieval murderer.

Education without religion will rear its Christless human brutes of the next generation! It is time for you, the people, to think for yourselves--not to accept the thoughts proffer the morbid suggestions propounded and dia ed to you by conflicting creeds-not to obey cussed by a sensational Press but to think for your country's good, with thoughts that are rich and pure. Otherwise, if you remain con- tent to let things drift as they are drifting, if you allow the brains of this and future gedera- tions to become obscured by drink and devil- ment, if you give way to the proads of vice, and join with the latter-day degenerate is his or her coarse derision of virtue, you invite terrific disaster upon yourselves, and upon this great Empire.

In Europe and America depositors profor those banks which are placed on a firm basis and are conducted on sound principler, even if the rate of interest is lower, and, as a natural consequence, the unsound bank are unable to exist. The state of affairs is different in Japan. In this country depositors are inclined to prefer a bank which pays a high rate of interest, irrespective of its standing, and so-called usury-banks are thus enabled to exist. Such being the case, in times of emer gency these yasound banks collapse one after another, jo the loss of their avaricious deposi. tors, and the proverb.Peany wise and pound foolish is exemplified.
