This work i designed as a atxjn 1 to "The rhiloflojihy of Kiting," by the flame author, and it is designed to establish dietary princi ples which will salt all men nud-r all oirottirl stanceB, so that the functions ot the body being properly regulated, the causes o diieasi will be removed. We do not suppose that Dr. IMlflws oonUndi that any sy Usin will succeed in banishing sickness froat the hnoriti raoe bnt there U 110 ponttible donbt that most of the bodily "ills that ilnsh ii hAe to" might be obviated by attention to diet, and its adaption to the prtioular olronin Btacce3 in which diligent iulividaaU are placed. Dr. Bellows gives an analyai of the kind of food suited for thinking men, for la boring wen, for HedenLiry people, rules with regard to what food should be eaten and how to eat it, and a great amount of information about dietary regulations in the case of par ticular complaints. The work ia appveatly founded on sound soioutlfij principles, and ii calculated to do good if those who read it will obrerve the rules laid down for their guldauoe. From J. B. Lippincott & Co. we have re ceived "Casellu, or the Children of the Val ley.'," by Mailha Farqubaraou. Under the gniee of a fiction tie author gives an account of the religious persecutions of the WaMenses is the seventeenth century. While many of the characters are imaginary, the facta of his tory have been strictly adhered to, and the desire has leeu to give a faithful picture of the times and people.

Tiih Portkiai. Works of Ciiarlks G. II alpine (Miles O'Reilley). Edited by Robert B. Ilotevelt. Fublidhed by Harper & Brothers. Philadelphia Agents: Claxton, llemiea Ilaffellinger. "Without beiDg able to coincide with the opinion of the editor of this volume, "that Charles G. Halpine was a great inan, a bril. liant genius, and an uncommon intellect," we can ooncede that he was a graceful versifier, with much real poetic perception, and the writer of some of the most ell'aotive lyrios called forth by the war. General Ilaldne wa3 An excellent specimen of the eduoated IrisU Ameiican citizen. lie was a wit and humor ist, and a genial social companion who won the regards of all who came ia contact with Lira. He threw himself heart And soul Into the contest of the Rebellion, and he is probably entitled to the credit awarded him by his editor of having created an entire re vulsion of publio Bentiment on the negro enlistment question by his soDg entitled "Bambo's Right to be Kilt." It is oertain that the verBeB in question had a wonderful And most salutary effeot both iu and out of the Army. As a poet, General Ilalplue will rank with but certainly not above Praed, of whom lie frequently reminds us. lie has the same ease of style and graceful fanoy as Praed, and is superior to Lim in the qualities of wit and humor. It is to be regretted that Mr. Roosevelt has omitted the Miles O'lleilly" iyri08 from collection of Ilalpine's poems, as it was these that made the author's reputation, and upon them his fame will rest. Mr. Roosavelt con tributes an eulogistic biography, bat his Ability to speak critically or the poenu is eomowhat doubtful; ai, for instauoe, he retors to some of them as "love Boanets," when there is not a siugle sonnet of any kind la the hook. Messrs. Harper & Brothers have issued the volume in good style. A Hu steel portrait of General Ha'pine is civeoi as a fiontisni. the paper is gocd atd the blading haaduome'. Cjist up by tub 8ea.

He says in hU preface that since the publication of "Albert N'yanzi" and the "Kile Tiibutaries of AbysEiuia," he has re vived numerous letters from boya, written ia h Juvenile enthusiasm of the moment after klg shared the ezoitetcent of the African journey 1. .CMt iy tL.e gea ia jaat such hook as will be devoured with eagerness by most boys. An exalting lio'.iou, full of battles, wrecks, jonrueyiogs iu diitaut lauds, atd hairbreadth escapes fupumerable, i made the means of conveying a larg amount of upeful and accurate information. A num ber of excellent illustrations by Louis Huard adds to the attractiveness of the volume. From T. B. Peterson & B.others we hare received "The Bullion Dealer's Guld," by George W. Edelmao, Deputy Treasurer, United Sta-tes Assay Ollioe, New York. This work is a series of tables designed for the use of dealers in bullion ia making calculations with regard to the degrees f flueness of gold an I silver, foreign coinc, eto. The work is en dowed by the pilutipal baokiug houses of New York, and those who buy and sell bullion will find it particularly useful. The tables are concise and well arranged, and will save au immense amount of intricate oaloul.Uion to those who nao them. J-'icui tsiiiith, 5uglish & Co. we have re ceived "Dr. Jacob," by M.

"Dr. Jacob" ii a pl-iwant domeatio tilo of German life, ar.d the admirers of gool fiction will Lot eppveciate it the kva on acc;3unt of the very neat and elegr.ut Etyle in whloh it is gotten up. It is handsomely printed, nicely bourd, is just the right size to slip ia the pocket, and ia published at the low prices of one dollar in clatb, or seventy -live cents in peper covers. From Lindsay & BUckiston, No. 25 South Sixth street, we have received "Branthwaite's Retrospect" for January. This valuable com pendium of medical ecionce is issued half- yeaily in this country simultaneously with the London edition. It embodies all the latest facts aud discoveries iu medical and surgical science, and its value is well known to the medical fraternity. The number before ns oontalns a large number of able articles en practical medicine, surgery, and midwifery, and a number of papers ou miscellaneous sub jects are given in an appendix. A full index to the yearly volume is riven. This work is useful to families, students, and amateurs, as well as members of the medical profession. The subscription price i3 Q2-L0 to regular annual subscriber?, who pay inadvauce of publication; the price of eacli part afier publication is The Litile Uvrpoml for February has an attractive variety of stoiies, poauis, aui sketches which wJl ploase young readers. The editor gives an interesting aocount of how he came to start this enterprise. Iu 1905 he organized the "Army of the American Eagle," for the purpose of raising money for the last great Sanitary Fair to aid our sick and wounded soldiers. Over sixteen thousand dollars were raised by the Bala at ten cents each of pictures of the veteran war etigle. At the close of his labors the editor found himself in correspondence with about twelve thousand children, and the idea occurred to him to keep up the pleasant connection by starting The Little Corporal. It is now proposed to make a number of im provements iu the manner of conducting the mcgaxine, while the general principles which have regulated it3 management from the be ginning will be adhered to.

The Jill Mull Gazette says: One of the most magniJioent efforts of self-assertion ever made by weak woman is to be seen in Mrs. Burton's preface to her husband's book ou Brazil, recently published. It deserveB to be quoted separate and alone: "Before the reader dives into the interior of Brazil, with my husband as a medium, let me aUdms two words to htm. I have returned home, on six months' leave of ao-euec, after three Tears in .Brazil. Due of the uiauy coin- lnitfioui 1 urn to execute lor Captain Burton is to sec the following pages through the press. It has been my privilege uunng those three years to have been his almost constant companion: r.nd 1 consider that to travel, write', read, and stuay under sucn h master is no small boon to any one desirous of 6ecing and learning.

I point the finger or Indignation particularly at what mitreprecnts our Holy Roman Catholic Church, aud at what upholds that unnatural and repulsive law, polygamy, which tho author la careful not to practise Uiiusell, but Iroui a high moral pedestal he pleaches to the ignorant as a means of popu lation Iu young countries. I am compelled to diller with him on many other subjects; but, be it unUtri-tuod, not id tho common cpirit of domestic jar, but with a mutual asrreemeui to diller aud enjoy our ulC'ereuceg, whence point of interest ucver fist'.

A writer iu the Cleveland Lender sketches the different classes of commercial travellers in the West: "One-fourth of the travelling men are well entitled to the name of drummers. Represent ing for the most part small wholesale dealers, with little or no capital, who do btniness in the cities, a smaller class who are in country villages, the manufacturers of superfluous articles, dealers in patent rights, eto , they are employed on the quantity of bone they are known to possess. This is really the most useless class of travelling men, for the pay only commands unskilled labor, and much of it is from a class whioh possess only the mo3t rudimentary education, aud ought never to have wandered out of tight of the smoke of their friends. "Perhaps it is an overestimate in ootnputing one-half the habitual travelling men as true commercial travellers, men who are eduoated business men and to ba classed with the best practical business talent in the country. They are employed for their abilities and experience, and are depended upon largely to advauce the prosperity of the house with which they are connected. They have, as it were, to control and give direction to a vast amount of capital, which they are expected to handle so as to make valuable returns. They must keep themselves informed of the various prics3 of goods, tbe influence1 that advance or decrease values, the condition of tbe money market, cf the legislation that tends to unsettle values, of the character and responsibility of the nu merous dealers to whom they sell, of the laws for the collection of dobts, of the proper time to press or restrict sales, and much other knowledge that only experience and a well cultivated mind can compass. Of course, the requirements vary according to the nature of the calling, some being more exacting and laborious than others, but all, or nearly all, being subject to the criticism of au experi enced business head, derelictions do not often pass unnoticed. A large portion of these travelling men ultimately are advauoed, and become partners iu tUair respective houses, and take high rank as accomplished and suc cessful business men. "The pay of travelling men varies from four hundred to twenty-five hundred dollars per year and expenses borne. The first class, representing large houses, seldom receive less than fifteen hundred dollars, and many times overreach the largest sum we have named. The price paid to 'guerrillas' varies greatly according to the interest they represent. The pay of drummers sometimes does not exoeed two hundred dollars per year, and rarely ex ceeds one thousand. "The chief support of country hotels is de rived from travelling men, but iu favored localities on maiu routes of travel hotel kteping is a good business to the best houses. It won 11 seem that every towu of any import ance ought to aSord at least one good hotel, but this is by no means the case. The excep tion is the rule. Without additional expense most of them could bo largely improved, and their charges, almost universally two dollars a day, are large enough to afford a good table and good beds. Their cookery falls below that found in respectable private houses, and sleeping accommodations are proportionately much worse. "The necessary expenses of travel vary according to the length of the route between points ot trade. They range from three and s half to six dollars per day, the larger sum being an outside figure, unless one has extra baggage in the way of samples. Borne are far more expensive, but they are persons of a convivial turn, or resort to the questionable practice of treating to get trade, borne houses enoourage the practice, but generally it is not countenanced. New Yorkera are usually the most expensive travellers, a habit no doubt resulting from living in the most extravagant city on the oontinent; but as a general tMng they are very intelligent and practical men, companionable and pleasant travelling ac quaintances." Fallen Sovereigns. ' At the mrmeut when tbe Queen of SpaiH, who Bitbt 80 easily have retained her throne, is compelled to seek an asylum abroad, it cannot be nnlnteieeting to mention the names of the princes who, withtu the last half century, by circumstances foreseen or unforeseen, by their own fault or in conscqueuce ot unwise resist ance, ty lalse calculations or enterprises which could not pomibly succeed, have fallen froiu power or lost a portion of their authority. The great contjue'er ot tho century, he who traus muted tbe fiench Itepublic into a sort of uni versal monarchy. Napoleon I, was tnrown down definitely Iu ltil'u.

Alter bequeathing pensions to all his old servants, anil alms to the poor, he sets down an extraordinary clause instituting as his universal legatee M. Froucois Lotz, Hungarian by origin, and a notary by occupation In a little town Lear Vierjna. But the testator annexes one condition: ''My property," be wrote, "will belong to M.

A Lonoon correspondent writes that the cae of tbe Bj ron aud eJUelley Iialian coirespouden'je, revived by the reviewer, Is amuMnpr. Two leading publishers ot London, Mr. Murray and Mr. -Mason, esteemed themselves fortunate in being able to secure these letters, and Mr. Robert Browning edited them. . The author of "The King and tbe Book" wrwte an iutroduc ion of such length that he was accused ot standing in the way ot tho suushine. A copy was seut to Tenuyson, with whom Mr. Palgrave happeued to be staying at the time, lhe latter, in casually turning over the leaves, lighted en a passage writteu by his father la the Quarterly, and this led to the discovery ot tbe traud. It was dis co voted that the post marks of the Italian towns whence the letters hid been despatched to England were modern, and were not lu use at the time the letters purported to be written. White, the man who sold the letters to tho pub lishers, and who refused to return tbe niouey, said he bought them iu detached portions from "a lady in black." He knew the woman to be conuected with a mon who was somewhat of aa impostor, and that her first story to him was untrue, but it was his interest to believe he had not been imposed trpou. Tho letters were the most vapid stuff imaginable the fabricator justly thinking there was nothing eo ridiculous that might not pass muster under the name of the most elttcd genius ot his century. Brown ing does not stand alone iu seeing in this non sense indubitable marks ot Shelley's mind. Lord Houghton and fcarl Stanhope outbid the Loudon publishers in scouring fragments of the same poet proceeding from the same literary anvil. The subject is a tender one with all concerned.
