AMONG THE AUTHORS [by l. BBI'.YHER.] In the book trade the signs of better business are increasing rapidly and from all sections of tbe country the reports are favorable. Publishers evidently have great faith in the reading capacity of the American people, for they have provided for their demands in a bounti ful manner. This particular branch of trade will surely reap its share of the harvest, for in dull times, especially, people who feel that they cannot afford to make expensive presents, resort to books, ac being'always appropriate, and at the same time less expensive gifts than those olfered by the goldsmith, jeweler and other high-priced purveyors of holiday goods. If anything the books thie season are neater, prettier aud more unique than ever before, and the price lower. The calendars are exceptionally pretty. Frederick A. Stokes company have a unique calendar in the shape of a Chinese lantern, containing illustra tions of little Chinese youth and maid ens on each peg.*, the calendars of each month appropriately grouped on fans, lanterns, cbop-bowle, umbrellas, etc. Their Calendar of Playmates is one of Maude Humphreys' prettiest efforts. The scenes are from child life, and her little tots are always pr»tty, cute and winsome. Whether blonue or brunette, in Greenway drees or latest style, these little ones alwaj'B find a way through the artistic eyes of their admirers j u to their pocketbooks, and gladden not only the heart of the giver but also find a warm place in that of the receiver. The Tucker Calendar, published by this firm, takes its name from the de signer, Elizabeth 8. Tucker. It is a combination of child life and animal life in colors, their pretty childish faces peeping through the glass of the aquari um at tbe gold fish, admiring their fresh young faoea in the mirrors, or locking in open-eyed astonishment at their four-footed nuimul friends, forming a beautiful background for the more prosaic calendar, which brings us back from childhood's reminiscences to every day business life. Their Playmates Calender, by the came artist, is a fac simile of water-color designa, similar to Tbe Tucker Calendar, studies of childish faces, Ininnys, rab bits, golden-baired bnys and girls, don keys, guinea pigs, and fish all delight fully contrasted in neat designs and col ors, making an ornamental as well as useful present. Favorite Peta is the title of a book de voted to children, witb new pictures and verses, by E. a. Tucker. The white mice, the rabbit dance, the biddy's chicks of yellow gold, the pussy cat gray dressed in doll dresses, the nice pug dog ec cunning and cute, are all til sub jects nicely portrayed to entertain the little ones and mirror many happy piay hours iv tbe home life of our own little ones. Tbe wo; kinaoahip oii this book is in unison >witb ali o! the Stokes com panies wortn* They also issue a new liook by Joanna H. Mathews entitled Frat.iiießradford's Hear; It is tbe fifth of a series of sequels to the Bs-sie Books, being the sequel to Maggie Bradford's fair of laat season, and has to do with the adven tures of a little boy and a bear that he strongly coveted for his own. The illus trations are by W. St, John Harper. The boys of 8 to 12 will enjoy this story, as it is very interesting. From the same publishers cornea a new book by Ruth Ogden, entited A Little Queen ol Hearts. This book baa a brand-new plot of its own. The younger of two schoolboy brothers at Eton gathers courage from loneliness to write a pathetic invitation to his American annt, uncle and cousin, to cioea the ocean uud ccc how it is for theniteives. Their prompt acceptance brings to tbe little heroine a Brooklyn girl who has never yet seen her cousin Harold, a voyage ai roes the Atlantic iv a White Star sieiuuship. The little queen of heartß conquer* her feliow passengers and the discomforts of eea life. Alter that she wins the great queen and a princes* and other notable people. Upon the tnread of an inter esting atory are strung not only the pleasant wayß and odd adventureß of Marie Celeste herself, but much also about English ways and places, including court ways and Windsor. The book is tastefully bound and well illustrated. Hia Little Koyal Highness, by the same author, in well lemembered by the youug people, ami any boy who reads thiß new book will at once become a sturdy friend of tne author. One of the mont substantial as well aa artiatic books issued by tbe Stokes company is the artist's edition of Kab and His Frienda, and other papers, by Jobn Brown, M.D., with numerous new illustrations by Jeeeie Shepherd end \V. A. MiCulluugli. Tbeir'vignette edition of the poets, containing over IDO illustrations each, appear in-rich bindings o( white vellum and colora, are dainty and holiday-like, fine new volumes ol the season include Poeuua of Whittier, Hawthorne's Ocarlet Letter and i'oeiun oi L ingfe'low. In email gilt hooks v. tiind their new illnstratedjjedltion of Luctle, Point Lace and Diamonds, The Princess, etc., etc., a very charming in white and jacqueminot rose binding and tbe enamel binding with figured material on sides snd edges, giving « pretty aud ar tistic appearance typical of thid season of the year and dam ly enough fur uuy book lover. The blokes company have truly a wonderful variety of beautiful as well ac substantial books, elegantly bound nnd artistic in the extieiue. The istoll & Thayer company are carrying a more complete dock of these goods than ever before. Robetts Brothers have this year made a specialty oi Itenaiesaiice Bindings and put a hue of their must popular hooks into thie artistic dress ol full crushed turkey morocco of dainty colors, decor ated in a style which is a revival of various old English artistic bindings of 70 or 80 years ago, The hooks nre beau tifully band finished with solid gold edges. In this binding can be bad Poems by Helen llr.ut Jackson, Poems by Susan Ooolidge, George Elliott's Wit and Wisdom, Daily Mrength for Daily Needs aud CJulet Hour* ; tbey are, al) of tbem, models of literary aud mechanical taste. Any purchaser will do well to call for these before purchasing tbeir holiday books. In Robin's Recruit, by A. G. Plymp ton, this house haa issued a book in which a very perfect picture of poet and barracks army life is given, illustrate,! with spirited pictures drawn by the 1 author. It ie a touching story for young people, which nobody is too old to read, and to feel kinder and softer and better when they put it down. The scene is a military barracks in Texas, wbere Robin's father is a captain of a regi ment. Robin's recruit ie the ugliest tempered man in the regiment, but Robin rinds something unaccountably attractive in bim, his loving, trnsting little heart finally working co forcibly on the man's nature that he becomes quite changed, finally dying a hero's death. A new, attractive and dainty book by Edith Emerson Forbes is pnblisbed by tbis bouse, in tbe shape of new selections of prose and poetry for every day In tbe year. The title is The Children's Year Book. Roberts Bros, certainly bave placed before their patrons this season the choicest, finest and most attractive as sortment of holiday books ever issued by them. Especially are tbeir books for children and young folks amusing and entertaining, and many little people will be made happy by receiving Little Women, The Barberry Bush, Under Ihe Water Oaks, More Good Times al Hackmatack, Tbe Story of Jnliette, or some of tbe Coolidge books, tbe Moulton books, tbe Alcott books, tbe Ewing books, or the Hale books. All of these series are issued by tbem. Be dee these for the older readers, they c the complete edition of Balzac's novels, translated by Mies Wormeley; Jans Austen's novels, Countess Kath leeu, a dramatic poem, by W. B. Yeats; The Lovers' Year-Book of Poetry, by Horace Parker Chandler; Retrospect and other poems, by Mary F. Robinson; Aliegreito, a volume of poems, by Ger trude Hall; For Fifty Years, a collection of the poems of Edward Everett Hale, and many other valuable and interesting books' of which we have no space to mention. From Lovell, Coryell & Co. we find in editions de luxe, of Tue Drama, ad dresses by Henry Irving, with a tioutis piece by Whittier. Tbe Little Minister, t,y Barrie, in two editions, une the Kirriemuir edition of last season and the other witb illustrations printed on imperial Japanese paper, with illumin ated title page and exquisite bindings.

These publish ers also bave complete sets of the works ot Marie Corelli, J. M. Barrie and A. Conan Doyle, handsomely gotten up in halt calf and boxed, wbich make moßt valuable Christmas offerings. Their paper-bound books were such favorites iiere in the summer time, that their winter holiday books should be iv great demand. They are elegantly printed and neatly bound. In children's books and books for boyß and girls, Lee & Shepard's list is very complete. Their celebrated war series ie carried through its sixth volume in A Victorious Union. Oliver Optic's attractive style of writing has made tbe Blue and Gray aeries one of the most popular, as it is one of the most astractive series to be found for young readers. Its pretty blue and gray covers, adorned with confederate and federal medals, is significant of tbe unpartißan and unprejudiced methods of the writer. Not but that he sticks to facta, but he gives the tacts on both sides. In A Victorious Union he has numerous thrilling events to relate which brought the war to a successful ending, euch as the taking of Forta Games and Morgan and the capturing of blockade runners oil' Mobile. The eecond series of a 11 -t>ver-tbe-World aeries, also the work of industrious Oliver Optic, calla attention to two new volumes recently added to it, viz., Young Americans Afloat; or, Cruising in the Orient, and The Young Navigators.

CANAIGRE PROMISES WELL. It Will Snpercede Oak and Hemlock for Tannery. An Industry Suitable for the Arid Land Regions. It Bas Become.* Commercial Proposi tion Only In tho Past Poir or Five Years—Some Vain* able Information. [by l. m. holt.] This canaigre plant very much re semble* the rnbarb or pie plant in leaf and it has a root very much like a beet, it ii a native of Ghihnhal.ua, Sonora, New Nexioo and Ariiona, and ia found wild in aome parte of Southern Califor nia. It ia only daring tho past lour ol five yeara that thia plant haa attracted public attention aa a commercial prep osition. In 1882 and again in 1884, at tempt* were made to utilize the canaigre root by making ahipmenta of the wild root to the eastern statea and to Europe, but the scarcity of the root waß an ob stacle to aucceaa, and the Idea of culti vating the plant waa not then thought of. Tbe value of the root consists in the amount of tannic acid wbich it carries, which ranges from 25 to 30 per cent, and this acid is uaed extensively all over tbe world in the manufacture of leather, the preaent aource of supply being oak and hemlock bark, which are getting veiy scarce, and hence the price of tan nic acid is constantly on the advance. The first shipment of this root in its green state was made to Glasgow, Scot lend, In 1887, and after a trial it was stated that one firm there (Martin & Miller) could use 10,000 tons a year at $40 per ton, in its sliced and dried state. At Eddy, in the Pecos valley in New Mexico, the farmers are cultivating canaigre and are getting $10 per ton in its green state for all they can raise. The commercial value of canaigre ap pears to be established beyond all ques tion. Professor Eitner of the Vienna re search station says that "canaigre is suited for tanning uppers, line saddlery hod fancy leathers. It can be used alone or in connection with other materials." He al<o recouimends it for i s quickness and thoroughness in tanning, color, beauty, consistency and pliability. He also says that the price, $65 per ton for tbe dried root, is very reasonable. In 1891 and '92 tbe shipments of tbe canaigre root assumed considerable proportions. Betwetn 500 and 1000 car loads found its way to market from Ari zona, New Mexico and Xexaß. And in addition thereto large quantities of the product was stored at the extract works at Deming. Thus far most of the canaigre root product has been gathered by digging the wild plant, but this is unsatisfac tory, for so muca territory muet be worked over to get a limited amount of the root. It has now been demonstrated beyond question that the plant can be success fully cultivated, and tbat there is more profit in cultivating the crop than in relying on the wild product, which is necessarily so scattered as to take away all the profit fn tbe extra expense of gathering. At $10 per ton, which appears to be a minimum price for tbe root crop, the profits are more than double the profits of beet culture, for tbe yield per acre is about the same, while the cost of pro duction is less and tbe price per ton is more tban double. The amount of tannic acid used in the world is enormous, and while the de mand is increasing the supply is rapidly decreasing. In addition to the supply of oak aud hemlock harks, our country is import ing large quantities of gambier from the East Indies. During 1891, 15,000 tons were brought into this country, which was valued at $1000 per ton or $1,500, -000. Six tons of green canaigre root will make one ton of tannic acid worth $100, and this acid can be manufactured atacoßtof about $10 pur ton, and this would make the green canaigre roots worth $15 per ton—three times tne value of tbe sugar best. It would require 9000 carloads of green canaigre to take the place of tbe imported gambier, to say nothing of supplanting tbe oak and hemlock bsrk and exporting to other countries. While canaigre is a dry climate plant its growth is assisted materially by irri gation, but itis one of those cropswbere no irrigation iB necessary during the dry summer months of June, July, August and September. The plant begins to grow in October and matures in May, after wbich the roots or tubers increase in size and value during tbe summer months, but the top dies down and no water is necessary. Tbe canaigre tuber resembles in shape the sugar beet. They are planted one in a hill like potatoes, the rows being«o inches apart and the plants from 9 to 12 inches apart in tbe row. A ton of tubers will plant an acre. The plantß grow vigorously, and a dozen tubers, more or leee, form in each hill, where the seed tuber grows in size and, unlike the seed potato, at tbe end of the season it ia as good as any taken in tbe hill, only it is larger. The tubers are planted aud liar vested as potatoes are planted and har vested. Tbe man wbo grows tbie crop can do so witb many advantages in bis (avor, He takes care of bis crop during tbe fall, winter and spring montbs, using such irrigation as may be necessary and desirable, and wben the hot summer montns come be is through his work ior the seaaou, and be can retire to the eeticoaet and take tbe summer easy with no (arm cares lo worry him. la the following October he can harvest hie crop, and plant agaiu getting ready for another season. It seems as though tbe market for this crop was practically unlimited and that the business would never be over done, but of course regarding this the future will decide more definitely. 80 far as experience goes, the canai gre tuber improves witb cultivation. It would he Btrange if this were cot so. The tuhers will probably increase in Bize, the yield per acre will probably increase aleo, aud the percentage of tannic acid will likely increase with cultivation, aud possibly choice varie ties may coma to light wbich will be an improvement over the native wild tuber now being grown. Ihe plant likes a loose, sandy soil, but does well in the heavier soils if not too heavy. •„.Tiie canaigre tubers will keep for many years if kept dry, and after they are fully dried tbey can be moistened and planted where tbey will grow as well as well as tbe fresh roots. The canaigre tuber should be planted the same an potatoes, and a potato planter can he used for tbat purpose. The ground should be well plowed and pulverised, the same aa for planting potatoes. The best results are obtained from planting about the Ist ol October, when the soil should be irrigated before planting. The crop Bhould be irrigated occasionally, unless the winter rains come at suoh intervals and in such quantities aa to render irrigation on necessary. The cost of cultivation is given as follows: Flowing and preparing land, per acre * 300 Planting with machine 2 00 Irrigating and cultivating 8 OO Digging with machine 2 08 Water rental 1 50 Total $10 so This estimate is made for tha Arisona climate, but it is believed that with California rains the expense of irriga tion can be reduced. Tbeeostof seed will be about $10 per ton, as a ton of tubers is required, and these sell readily at *10 per ton. The plant will commence its growth aoon after planting if the soil is moist and will continue its growth all winter, as the cold is not sufficient to injure the ioliage. ROGUES DREAD THE CAMERA. Photographa Are the Greatest Police Aid In Capturing Criminals. The rrreatest aid thnt the thief taker of today has iv his possession is the photograph. The thief and outlaw dread tho photograph above all things. The long immunity from arrest of Frank and Jesse James was due to the fact that no pictures of them had ever been taken. They were thus enabled to wall: the streets of Kansas City and St. Louis, to attend theaters, play faro in crowded banks, 101 l around the rotunda of the Planters' hotel and attend the race meetings of the west. The vanity of the wild western train robbers, bank holdups and horse thieves has, in scores of instances, led them to pose before the camera of the traveling tintype artist. After that capture was easy. The Dalton and Starr gangs owe their capture to this weakness. But the high class crook never has a picture taken unless it is taken by force and by police officers. A glance at the rogafes' gallery on the wails of the chief of detectives' office will show a hun dred instances of where men have fought desperately against the process. All this amounts to nothing. No man can distort his face so as not tc leave a recognizable feature. He can not change the shape of his nose, his chin, his ears or the general outline of his head. The car is particularly a valuable feature in identification. No two men in the world have ears exact ly alike. The construction will differ, and the general expression of the ear has an individuality of its own. One pair of ears will stand out from the head like wings: another pair will lay close to the skull as if pinned there It will be noticed that the subject is al ways posed so as to bring in the esrs. Police prefer a view of the face and head, the larger the totter, to a full length view. Where there are pecul iarities of carriage or eccentricitiee of form, such as short legs, long legs, long body, long apelike arms or a peculiar slouch, additional pictures are taken, but as a rule these matters are left to tho descriptive circular. A criminal once in the toils and pho tographed for police purposes may count his career practically ended. Every police and detective agency in the country and every peilftentiary war den or prison governor are supplied witb a copy of it. Ho is taken in on sus picion on the strength ot his features made familiar. His alias is swept away by comparison with it and the' details that accompany it. The search for a fugitive is continued into the prisons of the country. It is a very common thing for criminals who are hard pressed for the commission of a capital crime to do like Jack Shea, the murderer of Officer Doran, did—commit a burglary or some minor crime and get put away for a few years in prison. Many a man has eluded pursuit when capture meant death by this ruse, but the photograph has reduced the suocess of this plan to the minimum. All mem bers of the detective force are required to study the faces of the criminals sent in by circular.—St. Louis Globe-Dem ocrat. Animal Barometers. The tortoise is not an animal one would naturully fix upon as likely to be afraid of rain, but it is singularly so. Twenty-four hours or more before rain falls the Galapagos tortoise makes for some convenient shelter. On a bright clear morning, when not a cloud is to be seen, the denizens of a tortoise farm on the African coast may be seen sometimes heading for the nearest over hanging rocks. When that happens, the proprietor knows that rain will come down during the day, and as a rule it comes down in torrents. The sign never fails. This presensation, to coin a word, which exists in many birds and beasts may be explained partly from the increasing weight of the atmosphere when rain is forming, partly by habits of living and partly from the need of moisture which is shared by all. The American catbird gives warning of an approaching thunderstorm by Bitting on the low branches of the dogwood tree (whether this union of the feline with the canine is invariable the depo nent sayeth not), uttering curious notes. Other birds, including the familiar rob in, it is said, ffiva similar evidence of an impending change in the weather.— Chicago Herald. A Legend of Nantucket. About Vineyard sound there are numerous legends of a famous Indian giant. It is said that tho rocks at Sea connet aro the remains of his wife, whom ho threw into the sea there. He turned his children into fishes, and emp tying out his pipe one day formed Nantucket out of its ashes. This latter story of Nantucket's source must ac count likewise for the well known story of that old Nantucket captain who wae accustomed to make his reckonings by tasting the earth brought up on sound ing. One day the lead was dipped in some earth brought on board ship from the island, and the captain, after tast ing, leaped from his berth in groat ex citement exclaiming, "Nantucket's sunk, and here we are right over old Mann Hackett's garden." Naturally, he would recognize the taste of tobacco ashes. —Boston Transcript. SOMETHING UNUSUAL, as a medicine, ie Dr. Pierces Golden Medical Discovery.
