A Russian writer, Nicholacy, had obtained permission to translate 

 the work, and the publisher Soldatenlioo had printed and pub- 

 lished 1,300 copies of the first volume when the order for its con- 

 fiscation and auto-da-fe was given. The publisher's loss will be 

 over 3,000 roubles. Of course he will not attempt to publish the 

 second volume, and it is more than likely that the manuscript will 

 be seized and destroyed. Professor Ward thinks that the chapter 

 advocating universal education may have been the cause of the 

 Russian censor's objection to the book. 



— The Home Journal of last week contained a four-column ar- 

 ticle which expounds and explains the important question of in- 

 ternational copyright. It shows how the new law affects authors, 

 publishers, printers, and readers on both sides of the Atlantic. 



— There is in the London Journal of January, 1891, this refer- 

 ence to the establishing of the university extension movement in 

 Austria: "A beginning has recently beeu made in connection 



with the Vienna universities and the ' Volksbildungs' (Society 

 for Popular Instruction) to introduce the university extension sys- 

 tem to the Austrian capital. Dr. Bauer, who visited this coun- 

 try in the summer, writes that a society has been formed, under 

 the auspices of which courses of lectures have already been ar- 

 ranged in science, history, and economics, in various parts of the 

 city, and on the eve of the coming census a series of lectures will 

 he given on the ' Statistics of Population.' Lecturers have also 

 been asked to give courses to the soldiers and officers in barracks. 

 The majority of teachers are graduates of the university, or men 

 of acknowledged literary or scientific training, and the work is 

 thus of university stamp." The financial dilBculty has quickly 

 asserted itself, and it is proposed to apply for aid to the " Lantag " 

 (provincial parliament), and any grant that may be forthcoming 

 will be controlled by a " curatorium," consisting of certain mem- 

 bers of parliament, professors of the university, and members of 

 the society.

The phosphates of the system 

 are consumed with every effort, 

 and exhaustion usually indicates 

 a lack of supply. The Acid 

 Phosphate supplies the phos- 

 phates, thereby relieving exhaus- 

 tion, and increasing the capacity 

 for labor. Pleasant to the taste. 



Dr. A. N. Kkout, Van Wert, 0., says: 

 " Decidedly beneficial in nervous exhaus- 

 tion." 



Dr. S. T. Newman, St. Louis, Mo., says: 

 "A remedy of great service in many 

 forms of exhaustion . ' '
