problem, suoross in dealing -with one's 

 self and his fellows, was his ideal. The 

 translator shows how Locke and Rous- 

 seau, and, of course, all educational 

 writers who have built upon these, drew 

 from him. The subjects of the selec- 

 tions given here are the Education of 

 Children, Pedantry, the Affection of Fa- 

 thers, Liars, Physiognomy, Anger, the 

 Art of Conversation, Idleness, Experi- 

 ence, and History. 



An essay on The Object of the Labor 

 Movement, by Johann Jacohy, trans- 

 lated by Florence Kelley, and published 

 by the International Publishing Com- 

 pany, advocates co-operation, demands 

 that the employer recognize the laborer 

 whom he emploj^s as a being fully his 

 own equal and treat him accordingly, 

 and claims of the State an especial con- 

 sideration of the working class as an act 

 of reparative justice. 



The Transactions of the First and 

 Second Regular Meetings of the Wyo- 

 ming State Medical Society, May 13 



and November 1, 1898, shows that that 

 body is vigorous and active, and that 

 the doctors of Wyoming are interested 

 in maintaining the dignity and reputa- 

 tion of their profession. It is repre- 

 sented that fully fifty per cent of the 

 regular physicians of the State have al- 

 ready been enrolled as members of the 

 society. 



Mr. Frederick H. Gelman's Elements 

 of Blowpipe Analysis (New York: The 

 Macmillan Company; 60 cents) is in- 

 tended to serve the twofold purpose of 

 giving the student a general outline of 

 the analysis and of introducing him to 

 the methods of determinative mineral- 

 ogy. Every effort has been made to 

 simplify the account. The first chapter 

 is devoted to Apparatus and Details, and 

 the second to the General Outline of 

 Blowpipe Analysis. Then the general 

 reactions for the detection of the me- 

 tallic elements in simple compounds are 

 described, the behavior of some of the 

 principal ores before the blowpipe, and 

 comparative tables.
