12 ABOUT BOOKS AND BOOK-MAKERS Eeview of a Number of Recent 'Notable Publications. 0 nmes Whitcomb Riley's Green Fields and Banning Brooks. Wlutßiboroußli, by KHib Orne White, •lr Roger de Coyerly Again—A Hew Book on Health. Some Book Chat. [By L. Bkhysieb.] I have been reading a new book of poems and verses and as I review them in my mmd I find myself on memory's couch, Composed of the soft, velvety sward, beside the banks of a slow mov ing fiver., surrounded by "green fieldß," and 'listening to the murmur of "run ning, brooks," the buzzing of the bees and the chirping of the crickets. The bright Bunshine is glinting through the leaves of tbe big tree overhead in golden beama, while a pair of cooing doves in the branches resemble a couple of jolly picknickers that are floating past me down the stream in an old fashioned flat-bottomed skiff, whose sides are covered with the green mossy color that has made the "moss covered bucket" so famous. And as the murmur of these roundelays, which I have been reading, cease to echo in my ears, I awake from day dreaming and come down to the more prosaic occupation of telling the Herald readers what beau tiful and touching little songs of Green Fields and Running Brooks our genial entertainer and friend, James Whitcomb Riley, has prepared for us in his new book of poems ot the same title. We open the book and find a Country Pathway winding in the weeds thai fringe tbe roadside, and with dreams of our own we wander as we read it to a place grand enough for any etudent of nature "on the banks of Deer creek," where we used to go a "swimmin' " way up "Johnson's hole." A tribute enti tled A Ditty of No Tone is piped to the spirit of John Keats, while life's journey is depicted in The Lands of Where- Away. How John Quit the Farm is a fit companion to Over the Hill to the Poor House. JBp Miller soon convinces you that he is the "blamedest feller yit in Martinsville," while Tom Van Ardeu, my o d friend, is a lesson for bachelors who consider themselves "lucky dogs" in having "loved but lost." In The Hoosier Folk Child we recognize many a chubby-faced urchin peering out from among the ragweeds along the dusty road, where we passed and repassed in oar younger days. The bad boy's ver sion of Jack, the Giant Killer, will set brother Peck of Peck's Bad Boy fame to thinking up new stories to amuse the youngsters. Farmer Whipple—Bachelor, is a ro mance in poetry of the good, old-fash ioned sort, and we seem nearer heaven when we read such offerings as Blind, North andftoutb. While the Musicians Played and T .c Wife—Blessed. As holi days are not long past we can thor oughly appreciate What Chris'mas Fetched the Wigginses on the, Farm has a clear crisp tone, while August is hazy and dreamy , and Autumn seems one contin uous festival, with the sweet songs of south flying birds, the rustle of bright hued leaves, and the musk of pawpaw, hazel brush and haw waited on the evening breezes. A new version of John Alden and Percilly, altobough not quite as historical as Longfellow's, will prove twice as laughable and fully as interest ing. A fitting end to such a collection of good things is found in When Age Comes On and Just us of Old. Lo! Where is the beginning, where tho end Of living, loving longiiiK? i Jsten, friend. God answers with a silence of pure gold— Just as of old. Winterborough, by Eliza Orne Whne, haß just been published by Houghtou, Mifll n & Co. Miss Bereiß Hastings, a pupil at the High school o5 Winterborough, which is a small New England town, and Mr. Harold Strong, the sub-master, are the principal actors in this book, which, like most New England tales, is a Btudy of character rather than a story with an elaborate plot. Persis is drawn with cleverness and has been endowed by the author with a bright, sunny humor that makes most pleasant the New England atmosphere of the book. Strong's char acter is full oi rugged strength and con scientious purpose, and the other people are all interesting. A good Btory is alwaya worth telling over again, and although we have spent many days in company with the genial English gentleman of the latter part of the eighteenth century, which were golden days, still the del ghtiul flavor of the Spectator papers never palls on tbe taste. Macmillian & Co. have juet is sued the third edition (the first appear ing come six years ago) of Days with Sir Roger de Coverley, a reprint from tbe London Spectator, in which is pleasantly pictured life in and ■bout an English country house. Ex asperating thoogh it may be to some of the enterprising young men who are trying to reform the literary tastes of tbe world, there are still thousands of men and women of good education and progressive ideas who re-read Sir Roger de Coverley on theslightestprovocation. Even so able a master of modern Eng lish as the late Geoige William Curtis never tired of the story of the simple, honest, sturdy old knight, and ~be refreshed his acquaintance again and again when more brilliant things in print were at his elbow. Tbe chief charm of the volume is tbe abnndance and richness of the series of delicate illustrations which Hugh Tbomson has made for the book, so full of many suggestions oi the England of the last century. Everyone who is fa miliar with hia Cranford and bis Vicar of Wakefield will appreciate the singu lar charm of these pictures of old-time English country life, which have both character, graco and humor to an un common degree. The cover of the book is as delightful as its penetralia, small enough to hide in a coat pocket and cheap enongh not to injure a modest pocket book. Lee & Shepard have a new book en titled, In. Health ; The Relations of tbe Sexes, by Dr. A. J. Ingersoll. Tbe pur pose of this hook is religio medical. A kind of mi&ed-up fdith cure lies at the foundation of the advice given, which is intended as a guide for all suffering from sexual troubles. The author is a physician and a religious man, and he advises spiritual control as the best and only permanent cure for some oHseasee and weaknesses to which some unfortunate or indulgent men and women are subject Faith, like Mrs. Besant's theosophy, seems to LOS ANGELES HERALD: SUNDAY MORNING, JANUARY 22, 1893. be the author's care for ail the numer ous ills of woman, and he gives numer ous instances of recovery where medi cine had failed. Tbe dominion which tho soul may have over the body ii widely known among wise people, while mere scrapß of knowledge on the subject have been the basis of many "issues,'' which have made occupation for many thousands of charlatans. The book con tains one chapter, however, that makes it oi value; it ib a magnificent exposi tion of the sanctity of sexual life, which women usually ignore and deny- Dr. Ingersoll's book would be better were it all in simple English, instead of being marred by some expressions which, rightly or wrongly, paBS nowadays as cant, even in some honest religious cir cles. Houghton, Mifflin & Co. usually inter est the boys in a good thing when they undertake to publish juvenile literature ; their late venture with Zachary Phipe, hy Edward Lasseter Bynner, being no ex ception to the rule. Mr. Bynner iB known as the author of Penelope's Suitors, etc., as well as of several historical nov els, of which this is one. His latest ef fort is by far the most important story about a hoy that has appeared since Mark Twain's Tom Sawyer and Huckle berry Finn, although these books do not resemble each other in any respect but strength. The hero's life leads us to an acquaintanceship with Aaron Burr and his daughter Theodosia aud with Blennerhaesett and tbe conspiracy connected with hiß name. Zachary ia an 8-year old Boston boy in the early yeara of the preßsnt century : fear of hiß teacher, hatred of his step mother and lack of confidence in his father, makeß him run away from home and to sea, where he receives some prac tical instructions on tbe battle of life from an old sailor who chances to like him. He meets General Jackson, and ia on the deck of tbe Constitution in its famous fight with tbe Guerriere; is aboard the Chesapeake when Law rence gained immortality by the words: Dou't Give Dp the Ship, and with Old Hickory fighting Indiana in Florida during the first Seminole war. He finally becomes secretary of legation at St. Petersburg and marries a charming and lovely girl. A wealth of good work aud good sense makes this story pleas ing to either boys or adults and all young people will find thia stirring period of our history very interestingly woven into Mr. Bynner'e new story. »*» In Harper Bros.' Franklin-square Li brary No. 729 we find a new and pleas ing novel by Mary E. Mann, entitled, Io Summer Shade. Love, with ite at tending misunderstandings, is the theme. In a once handsome English country home, bat now neglected and poverty stricken, the heroine is found. In spite of the fact that Mary Burne's father had degraded hiß family name by marrying a gypsy, Mary is a noble, beautiful woman. Her beauty is the chief cause of her troubles, as she ia loved by men in entirely opposite classes of life, whose jealousy and unreasonable ness affords material for many incidents. The other members of the Burne family are amusingly and graphically des cribed. The Arena for January, 1893, is an ex ceptional number. Tbe first article ie indeed an enjoyable one by Mildred Al drich and ie the sketch of a general fa vorite of the American public, Alexan der Salvini. Occasionally extraordinary fathers have extraordinary heirs; but too often a man of ability bequeaths hie son less, or what by oontrast seems to be lees, than tbe average amount of wit. l!ut in this instance tbe eon ia a worthy successor of tbe lather and we meet a striking ex ample of tbe transmission of definite gifts through several generations. Tbe article is well written and well illus trated.

Chas. H. Sergei company, of Chicago have just issued West and East; an Al gerian romance by Laura Coates Reed. The author is a western woman who claims Kansas City as her home. So great was the anticipation for her book that frequent calls were made for it over the book counters before it was pub lished. The Waverly company of New York announces for early publication The Son, by Paul Bourget, of whom Zola writes that with the exception of Huys mauß and De Maupassant, "he is the only original writer among the newer school of French novelists." The Son is said to be a powerful novel in analysis. Pierre Loti, by talent alone, haa won a place in the French academy and is one of the youngest members and one of the marked novelists of the day. His new book, Pecheur d'lslande, adapted and annotated tor use as an advanced text in French, is just ready. Though the Pecheur d'lslande has a sad ending it cannot fail to be read with keen interest by all who enjoy a work of fiction wonderfully graphic in its picturing of scenes and situations. Stonewall Jackaon's Horse. Among the stores captured at Har per's Ferry, writes Mrs. Jackson in hei "Life of Stonewall Jackson," not the least valuable was a train of cars on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, bound foi Washington, and loaded with horses foi the government. This was a lawful prize and was at once turned over to the Confederate army, with the exception of two horses which General Jackson pur chased. Thinking that hostilities would soon be over, he selected the smaller of the two—a pretty sorrel —as a present for his wife. General Jackson had several other horses, but preferred the little sorrel to them all, finding his gait, aa he expressed it, "as easy as the rocking of a cradle." He rode this horse in nearly every battle in which he was engaged. Fancy, as the sorrel was named, seemed almost indefatigable. One rea son perhaps was that he always lay down when the command baited for a rest. His master made a pet of him, and often fed him with apples from his own hand. After being lost for a time upon the fall of General Jackson at Chancellors ville, the horse was found by a Confed erate soldier and kindly sent to the Jack son family in North Carolina. He lived many years in Lincoln county, on the farm of Dr. Morrison, father-in-law of the general. One of the young Morrisons used to say that Old Fancy, as he was always called on the farm, "had more sense than any horse he ever saw." He could make as good use of his mouth in lifting latches and letting down bars as a man could with his hands. One of his habits was to let him self out of his stable, and then go delib erately to the doors of all the other horses and mules, liberate each in turn, and then march off to the grain fields with them all behind him—like a soldier leading his command. But he was such a pot that his misde meanors passed for clevernoss. He was often taken to county fairs, where he was an object of as much interest as one of tho old heroes of the war. He was more than thirty years of age when he died, in 1886, at the Soldiers' home in Richmond. A stuffed effigy of this old warhorse may still be seen in a glass case in the library of the home. A Woman's Trae Hoanty. The line in woman from the armpit to the ankle is the one of principal beauty iv the sculpture that has been extolled by nine generations of the most intel lectually cultivated of our race through the varying conditions of 300 years. It is this line that is pushed inward by mechanical force till an ugly ancle is produced at the hips. So wide is the departure from true beauty that it is as sumed that the distortion is natural, and that the normal use of the hideous hol low is to support weight. The outline of the front of a woman's body is also composed of similar gentle outward curves, not one inward curve from the chin over the breastbone and below. Never a corset was made that did not destroy the beauty of this line, making a depression below the bust, ex aggerating its proper size and most re pulsively enlarging the natural outward curve of the abdomen. A slight sketch by an artist would show at once tbat the modest curves of the typical womanly form are distinctly unlike the more spirited lines of a man —one suggesting retiring beauty, the other aggressiveness and bravery. We consider the finest development for a woman that which best illustrates her typical qualities. We consider the best dress for woman that which fails to obscure her distinctive physical features. In pictures of good costumes faithfully represented or idealized by artists we find those giving most pleasure which tend to enhance these differing charac teristics. —Philadelphia Times. Some Theatrical Advertisements. Among the miscellaneous advertise ments of a theatrical paper we notice six persons willing to supply the ladies with tights, eight with jewelry, aud armor has a single paragraph devoted to it. "Wanted, a heavy man to combine emperor and cat," reads rather peculiar ly, as does "For sale, an electric nose." "Leading lady wanted, to look about sixteen," is one requirement, and "Wanted, low comedian for old wom an," is another. There is a regular menagerie of per forming animals for sale, including ten dogs, four elephants, four bears, two goats, two horses, a donkey ai.d a "happy family." Scenery ia procurable in almost any quantity. "For sale, effective village street, with practicable night," "fores! with good thunderstorm," "several sol s diers' heads for panto," "substantial rustic bridge," "waterfall of galvanized iron with realistic foam" are all obtain able, and "drawing rooms" and "cottagi-v interiors" are galore.—London Tit-Bice ' NEWS ABOUT FARM MATTERS. The Valuable Qualities of the Joppa Orange. What Mr. L E Steele Has Done With a Ten-Acre Kancho. Caoutchouc an a Possible Product—Seeds aud flanta for Distribution—The Blenheim Apricot and Its Features. J. Wallace F. Di-s has been showing Borne fine oranges the past few days that are worthy of careful study. They are known as the Joppa variety, taking their name from the country from which they were import ed. The orange cannot by any means be called new, and yet it de serves more attention than it bas re ceived. On Mr. Pfeffer's ranch there are five acres of fruit, much of which is already in eatable condition, and allot which can be marketed before the holi days. The oranges are already very sweet, being almost a month earlier than other fruit. In Bpite of thiß fact they remain on the trees until July 1, and at that time are at their best, dropping Boon after. Thus for eight months it is possible to pick eatable oranges Jfrom the treeß. But one of the greatest advantages of the Joppa is the fact that it hides its fruit under an uncommonly heavy foliage, thus giving the fruit protection from cold and storm. It can be said tbat tbe average grower pins his faith too im plicitly on two or three varieties of fruit. He feels that in the Washington navel the height of perfection is reached and he is content. While we believe the navel almost a perfect orange, yet we believe that the wisest course ie to keep an eye of investigation open for improvements.—[Redlands (in Decem ber) Facts. Caoutchouc. A guest at tbe Hotel del Coronado, speaking of the rubber industry, eaid: "Can the india-rubber tree be grown with profit in the region of San Diego? This interesting problem can be solved hy actual triai. An experimental test would not be costly, results would soon be reached, and, if successful, the new industry would be of value almost be yoDd computation to thie district, "The plant selected for experiment should be tbe ficus tdaetica, a plant to be found in all the nurseries ol this vi cinity and on many of the grounds of your cozy residences. The gum from this tree is hard and firm, and when in telligently collected will answer the de mand for the greater part of the pur poses for which this material is re quired. It is a hardy plant, and once planted, cares for itßelf. A region be low tbe frost line ie required, where tbe supply of water the plant needs can be luruished, to produce the growth to the greatest profit and perfect certainty. "A writer in the India Rubber and Gutta Percba Gazette, published in London, who has apparently studied the subject, writes tbat, given the heat and moisture required, the ficus can be bled the third year from the slip, age not be ing so much tbe guide in the mater ac size aud development of matured wood The writer alluded to gives the results of experiments carried out in India at a ppot 1500 feet above the level of the sea Slips of the vine of the thickness of \ our middle finger, 18 inches long, when planted, struck rapidly, and at tbe end of the third year bad obtained the height of eight feet of matured wood with tbe girth one foot from the ground from 12 to 18 inches. An incision on each side was made and each plant yielded four pounds of clean gnm tbe first season and an addition of two pounds per annum up to tbe eighteenth year. "The deduction from this tbe writer drew was that an acre planted eight feet by e'ght contained 676 trees. The yield up to the eighteenth year, when the trees could he tapped at the roots aud given from 300 to 400 pounds per tree each year would be ac follows: Three years, 4 pounds per tree, 2700 pounds per acre; 4 years, 6 poundß per tree, 4000 pound" per acre; 5 years, 8 pounds per tree, 5300 pounds per acre; 10 years, 11,960, and co on, "Ficus will grow in flat soil, and re quires but little care to keep it from straggling, though it might be necessary to thin out tbe plantation at times. Tbe yield per acre would not be much af fected, as the necessary thinning would be more than made good by tbe addi tional robustness of the remaining plants. As tbe value of thin rubber can be safely estimated at 50 cents per pound, I commend tbe subject to the careful consideration of those interested in the prosperity of this region. A' time passes the regions resorted to can not keep pace with the increased and constantly increasing demand for this article of commerce. "On the grounds of the Hotel delOor onado are several trees of tbie plant un favorably situated to receive tbe full power of the sun, nor have they re ceived any such supply of water as the Sweetwater dam could furnish, yet un der these unfavorable circumstances their rapid growth, showing now in the fourth year sufficient matured wood to warrant tapping, gives encouragement lo believe tbat the plant may be grown here with large profit. The test now required is to see by tapping what amount of common rubber may be pro duced from a tree of a certain size. Once settle tbie question favorably and capi tal will not be wanted to take up the land in this neighborhood adapted to this purpose. If some enterprising in dividual cannot be found to undertake this, will not the board of trade of San Diego take hold of the business?" Seeds and Plants.

Steele, who attended tbe meet ing of the Poinological society in Po mona recently, has given us some figure that show how good a living for bill family of five people his 10 acres ol various fruits made him in the San Gabriel valley, west of Baldwin's Santa Anita ranch "I think," said he, "'my experience can be duplicated almost anywhere in Southern California by the right man, and it proves tbe old-time argument." Mr Steele bought his place and a water right in 1885 for $1200. He set out four acres of prunes, two acres of apricots, > ne acre of alfalfa, two acre" to oranges and half an acre to lemons. He built a houße for ifIOOO more. He got a living for five yeara lrom poultry, selling vegetables and strawberries and doing day labor until hia property came into bearing Since then he hae taken it easier, but iB still a most industrious, Btrong man. Mr. Steele has kept accurate account of bis ranch finances. He shows that he sold crops from his place in 1891 for $1813 and tie net profit was $1725 Tbe money came from the following Bources; From alfalfa, $82; fn m apri cots, $316; from prunes, $433 J from oranges, $715, and from lemons, $207 For last year his receipts from hia 10 acres have thus far been $1527 and he has a crop of oranges that will probably bring him $600 more next March.

In Southern California little is known of the varieties of apricots except the Royal and Moorpark. The Royal is such a heavy and constant bearer that its reputation is well established, and the new planter is generally satisfied with out looking farther. The Moorpark is a favoritt for domestic ute. Its size and quality easily commend it above the Royal, but because it is not a regular bearer few raacbers plant in quantity There areorchardß of Moorparke near us which bear regularly every year, and heavily, too, while the writer knows an orchard that has a crop no oftener than once in three years. The cause of this difference lias not yet been satisfactorily explained. Some years ago the people of Alameda county began planting to .come extent an apricot called Blenheim Soon after the trees came into bearing, at a meet ing of the canners of the county, it was voted unanimously to recommend the Blenheim as worthy of extensive plant ing. Its size is large, oval; color, a deep orange yellow; very juicy and rich flesh ; the tree is a vigorous grower and regular and prolific hearer. The apri cot is a good canner and dryer The price of tho fruit is alwayß 10 to 20 per cent higher than the Royal. We recom mend a trial by come of our planters.— [Moreno Indicator.
