The Bookshelf. 
Poverty, by Robert Hunter. “To live 
miserable, we know not why, to have the 
dread of hunger, to work sore and yet gain 
nothing—this is the essence of poverty.” 
Mr. Hunter does not deal with the com¬ 
fortable poverty of country homes, where 
there may be little money and much hard 
work, yet food to eat and wood to burn, 
but with the hopeless poverty of the cities. 
This does not necessarily mean great cities 
alone, for there are many small towns, 
populated by kindly and right-living citi¬ 
zens, where there is a submerged stratum 
buried in the vilest of slums. Mr Hunter 
deals, however, with the large cities; he 
writes of the pauper, the vagrant, the sick, 
the child, and the immigrant. It will be 
news to many that the United States is 
far behind European countries in study 
of these questions, and in remedial meas¬ 
ures. In the matter of child labor Mr. 
Hunter says that there are now over 
1,700,000 children under 15 at work (the 
census of 1900 showed 1,266,050 boys and 
486,137 girls between the ages of 10 and 
15 years engaged in gainful occupations). 
Tn the South the assertion is made that 
many children under 10 are employed in 
the cotton mills 12 hours a day—or night 
—some of them not over six, reproducing 
conditions which caused Lord Shaftesbury 
to begin his reform movement in England 
SO years ago. Written in a style of ear¬ 
nest simplicity, evidently straight from 
the heart of one who has lived with the 
conditions described, “Poverty” is a pain¬ 
ful book, but one possessing as powerful a 
message to the general reader as to the 
student or reformer. Published by the 
Macmillan Company, New York; price 
$1.50. 
The Two Captains, by Cyrus Town¬ 
send Brady. This is a stirring historical 
novel, the two captains being Bonaparte 
and Nelson. The scenes of the story are 
laid chiefly along the French coast and on 
shipboard; there are scenes of gallant 
fighting on land and sea, relieved by a 
gracefully written love storv. The story 
is wholesome and well written, and will 
no doubt find a large audience of ap¬ 
preciative readers, who will in many cases 
be led by its pleasant pages to make more 
careful study of the history of the Na¬ 
poleonic period. Published by the Mac¬ 
millan Company, New York; price $1.50. 
Oatmeal Scones.—Dilute a cupful of 
well-cooked oatmeal porridge with a cup¬ 
ful of milk, add a tablespoonful of melted 
butter, a saltspoonful of salt and teaspoon- 
fnl of brown sugar. Sift two teaspoonfuls 
of baking powder with a cupful of flour 
and add to the oatmeal mixture, adding 
sufficient flour to make a dough stiff 
enough to roll out; the consistency of the 
porridge will have to determine the 
amount of flour necessary. Roll half an 
inch thick, cut with a biscuit cutter and 
bake to a pale brown on a hot buttered 
griddle. 
Date Pie.—For one pie take one heap¬ 
ing cupful of pastry flour, add a pinch of 
salt and mix to the right consistency with 
sweet cream. The crust will be much 
nicer if allowed to get very cold before 
using. Filling—To a cupful of seeded 
dates add a cupful of water, cook over 
hot water about 20 minutes, then rub 
through a sieve. Beat an egg and a table¬ 
spoonful of sugar until light; add a table¬ 
spoonful of lemon juice, the date paste 
and gradually a cupful of scalded milk. 
Pour into a half baked shell and finish 
baking in a moderate oven until a knife 
blade can penetrate it and come out 
clean.

HAD TO HIDE IT 
A mother wrote us recently 
that she had to keep Scott's 
Emulsion under lock and key 
—her children used to drink 
it whenever her back was 
turned. Strange that children 
should like something that is 
so good for them. It’s usu¬ 
ally the other way. Scott’s 
Emulsion makes children 
comfortable, makes them fat 
and rosy-cheeked. Perhaps 
that’s why they like it so 
much—they know it makes 
them feel good.
