BOOK AND HAMMOCK. Light Literature for Use in the Enticing* Summer Web. Summer Suggestions for the Leisure of Literary In clination. Choice Selections for Light Hours and for Somber Reflections. •'Our Best Friends" Assorted and Arranged for Globe Readers. BlMil May blessing's be upon the head of Cadmus, the Phoenician, or whoever it was that invented books; but a great er blessing descend upon the head which gave us the hammock, where we can read in comfort during these dog days. On the porch and cool, shady corner of every house in town, and on the broad veranda of the cottages over looking rippling White Bear and Min netonka this enticing webbing is hung. Fill it with soft cushions of moss—pre serve us, oh shade of Mephisto, from feather-filled pillows— don your loosest white outing rig and drive dull care away with a huge palmleaf fan. And. to sweep the cobwebs off the mental sky, what shall we read? What did people do without light literature be fore the days of the Town and Country series and other summer reading? To be sure, they are ephemeral, and like our light afflictions, but for a moment; if your sole object in reading is to im prove your mind, and anything else is but vanity of vanities, let me recom mend Spencer's "Justice" and Kenan's •'History of Israel." But all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, and he needs "mental dumb-bells' and Indian clubs, so that his cerebral muscle will be better developed for the winter study. Put first on your list ''The Squirrel Inn," by Frank K. Stockton. It ran in the Century magazine a year ago, and lias just been issued in book form. ll* You Have Read It, then it will seem funnier than ever read in some circle of friends, and that, by all means, is the right way to use your summer books. Joys in reading, as in life, are doubled if shared. "The Squir rel Inn" is a whimsical tale, and you can always trust Stockton enough to know you cannot trust your own fore casts or predictions. The characters are sure to do what they would not do under any other author's pen. Each is droll or original. For downright fuu and gladness there is no equal to Frank Stockton. "A Little Norsk; or, 01' Pap's Flax en,"' is a new book by Hamlin Garland, author of "Main Traveled Roads," and one who has done much is using the literary material of the Northwest. It comes fresh with the wind that sweeps the great prairies, and the exceptional power with which he treats this life on the plains makes the sketches as vivid as Bret Harte's stories of mining camps or Cable's Creoles. We who live so near where the breezes blow will ap preciate "A Little Norsk." Kate Sanborn's "Adopting an Aban doned Farm."' although not new this summer, will make a good addition to the books read in the sight of the wav ing fields of successful farms. It is " a sunny, humorous sketch of the experi ences one young woman had who sought to demonstrate that woman can farm, and Tennyson was "Wrong: in His Man for the field and woman for the hearth, man for the plow, and tor the needle fshe." But she didn't do it. New Eng land women have powerful intellects, but they cannot grind to a fertilizer the yocky hills or Massachusetts. "The drakes refuse to lay; the vegetables re fuse to come up, and the taxes would not go down." Another book which for local colon ing is a success is "A First Family of lasajara," and in Bert Ilarte's earliest, best vein. It is a story of a family which reached great wealth through means which are not strictly creditable to its head, and the one son who knew of the manner in which the wealth was obtained is cast out for not agreeing to become an ornamental appendage to the new F. F. C. The descriptions of the West are real and beautiful, and can be suspected only by those who knew Bert Ilarte's earlier romances. Don't put "Tess of the d'Ubervilles" in your grip. It is such black story, gruesome and unhealthy. 1 know, like most of Thomas Hardy's novels, it is good in literary composition and an artistic success. The winter brings enough of the hardness of life, and do try in these glorious summer days to get some of the glory into your life in stead of the gruesome. It is bad enough tor an author, conscious of his power in making people happy, to place such a load of. sorrow on the book shelves at any time, but one who will deliberately perpetrate such an outrage on summer outings ought to be forevermore ta booed. ______» Books of Travel are becoming among the most delight ful for summer reading. The old atti tudinizing and moralizing before the wonders of the old world are being re lieved by a lighter background of the funny happenings. Each man sees Europe with different eyes, and his kodak reveals some curious phases of life over the briny. A book which is kodakic in the sharp keen outlines ot the sketches is "A Too Short Vacation," written by two women, who saw Europe not as others see it. Sara Jeanette Duncan's books are of last summer's output. "A Social De parture" and "An American Girl in Lon don" are rare fun. Miss Duncan seeks men and tilings with a reporter's scent for the novel, and writes them in so merry, often satirical mood that one feels as if be had been taking beef, iron and wine. Miss Agnes Pepplier's little volume of essays, "Point of View" was pub lished early in the year and are excel lent in the "light and critical vein. She" tears down literary idols with a vandal ism that is somewhat alarming at first. The light in which all life is bated out rivals the glow western evening skies for she looks through rose colored spec tacles and believes in the gospel of joy. For a light psychological study read "A Fellowe and his Wife" by Blanche Willis Howard and William Sharp. It tells of an ideal husband and a wife whose confidence in her own artistic ability is in excess of her love for her husband. To evade sex prejudices and— perhaps as a result, to idealize— man writes the woman's letters and th c woman the man's. Of course the hero is a woman's ideal of a perfect man, and not a weak one. He is perfect in conduct but his fierce inward struggles show how hard it is for the best of men lo be entirely line. The woman is many sided, tender, self-admiring, s-^fish, whimsical, but, withal very feminine and lovable, and perhaps, alt-**:si real. A book by Blanche WiUs, Howard which is old, but ever uew*-4*n*t amusing is that merry, laughable ***o**ie Summer," "The Faith Doctor" jhy Eggelston is more serious b""s entertaining.

THEY'RE AFTER M'GEE. The Second Ward Objects to His School Work. - To the Editor ot the Globe. A great deal of dissatisfaction is be ing expressed by citizens of the Second ward over the management of the Van Buren school. We feel that the prin cipal, Charles McGhee, is not only in competent, hut that he does not work for the best interests of our school. He has proved this conclusively by not recommending Miss Taylor for the position which she has for years so ably filled, a fact which* he has himself heretofore acknowledged in recommending her for promotion year by year. If he has year by year recommended any teacher whom he deems incapable, then he has proven himself untrue to his trust and should lose his own position. If his judgment Is not keen enough to discern an incom petent teacher before he has advanced her year by year from the third to the eighth grade, then he has proven him self incompetent and should step aside, or rather be pushed aside, to make room for one less dull of comprehension. But we as patrons of the school, some of whom having had children under Miss Taylor's charge . for five years, do not feel that we can' afford to lose a teacher of such untiring energy and zeal, and one in whom the pupils of the school have entire confidence, in order either to please the caprice of a man who, in withholding his recommen dation, has proven himself to be either unjust or incompetent, or to make room for some other person. We feel that as parents and taxpayers that we have a right to be heard, and that our earnest petitions should be respected. We- feel that we can well afford to lose the petty despot whose chief care, it would seem, is to maintain himself in his position and draw monthly upon the taxpayers for an amount for which we feel lie has not rendered an equivalent. It is a well-known fact that hereto fore his modes of discipline have been detrimental to the best interests of our pupils. The citizens of the Second ward will not maintain a slugger in the person of the principal of their school, nor will they longer submit to have their children under the influence of a man whose example can be proven to be Dernicious, and who can not com mand the respect of even the pupils of the school. All the efforts ot his teach ers to maintain a respectful feeling for ium among the children is of no avail where they are offset by such an ex ample as he has made of himself on various occasions. We demand a principal who will ex ercise enough restraint over himself to treat the patrons of the school civilly. We demand a principal who will not al low our school to degenerate into a mob and yet be able to maintain order with out resorting to brute force. We insist upon the school law being obeyed by the principal as well as by the other employes of the board of education. We, in free America, recognize no con ditions under which tyranny and wrong can be p.iotected, and the rights and in terests of the commonwealth trampled under foot because such tyranny and wrong exist iv the person of a man clothed with a little brief authority. If one at the head of affairs, whether civil or military, proves himself untrue to his trust, it is imperative that he be displaced, for by virtue of the Dower vested in him he is enabled to do* more harm than a whole force under him. To say that a man must be maintained simply because he is at the head of af fairs, irrespective of his ability to be at the head of such affairs— say that be cause he is in a position to do so he will be allowed to override the principles of justice— is to be out of sympathy , with the statement— had his Brutus, Charles 1. his Cromwell." To say that we must not resist because this man is principal of the school is equivalent to saying that the Declara tion of Independence should never have been passed. If Charles McGee, or any one connect ed with the school system, vainly im agines that the spirit of independence, the sacred rights of liberty and justice are less dear to the people of Dayton's bluff in 1892 than they were to' those who in times past fought that the same principles might be maintained, they are laboring under a great mistake.

In the favorable notice in last Sun day's Globe of the burnt cork soiree given by the minstrel club of St. Paul, at Kamaley's pavilion on July 16th, for the benefit of St. Mary's church, 1 no ticed with some surprise the insinuat ing and slurring notice given. Al. Flournoy. 1 consider it quite necessary to speak in defense of Mr. Flournoy. His ability as an amateur minstrel comedian has, by his frequent and successful appearance before St. Paul audiences, easily raised him to the front rank as an amateur minstrel; and it also appeared that the few breaks he made while he was "per mitted to appear alone on the stage" at the performance were fully appreciated by the audience, he being encored with more enthusiasm and oftener than any other member of the club. Without de tracting any credit from any other mem bers of the club, I think he might easily be accorded the lion's share of the suc cess of the evening. One OF THE Audience. Red Figure Sale.

The People Declare for the One-lian'-fuage, One-School Principle. Special to the Globe. Winnipeg, Man., July 23.— The elect, ors of Manitoba spoke today in no un certain way on the question of one lan guage and one school for the people of this province. The Greenway govern ment, which went to. the country on that platform, was sustained by a good majority. The city of Winnipeg elected three government candidates with large majorities, the total in the city being over 1,000 majority in favor of the government. Many old members are retired, among them be ine Hon. James A. Smart, minister of public works, who was defeated in Brandon, and It. P. Roblin, leader of the opposition. Returns now in are not complete, but sufficient is known to say that the government have twenty-four seats, the opposition fifteen and one in dependent. The constituencies carried by the opposition and the candidates elected are: Avondale, Hartney; Beautiful Plains, Da vidson; Brandon city. MaeDonald; Carillon, Jerome; Deioraine. Kellett; Emerson, Mc- Fadden: Veldonan. Hazel: La Verandrye, Lagemodlerfj; Lome, O'MaJley: Morris, Mar tin: Norfolk; Lyons; St. Boniface, Marler: Turtle Mountain, Shaft' r.er; Woodlands. Armstrong; total, 14. The constituencies carried by the government and the candidates elected are: Birtle, Myers; Cypress, Dolg; Killaruey, Young; Lakeside. Kutherford; Laudsdowne, Dickson; Manitou. Ironsides; Mlnnedosa, Myers: Morldcu, Duncan: Mountain, Green way; Brandon, north, Sifton; Portage La Prairie, Watson ; Bockwood, Jackson; Ros enfelt, E. Winkler; Khinelande, V. Winkler; Saskatchewan, McNaught: Souris, Camp bell; South Brandon, Graham; Springfield, Smith; West Bourn, Morton; Winnipeg, south. Cameron: Winnipeg, north, Mclntyre; Winnipeg, center, McMillan; total, twenty two. One Independent, Fisher, in Russel, was elected by acclamation. There are three pi-aces not heard from, St. An drews, Dauphin and Dennis, the two former being safe for the government and the latter likely to go to the opposi tion. People also voted on the prohibi tion question. That is, they expressed opinion for and against the principle, there being a large majority iv favor of prohibition, but of course it doesn't follow that prohibition will be enforced, though there will now be agitation to that end. In the last parliament . the government had 25 members, the oppo sition 12 and 1 Independent, making a total of 38 members at the last ses sion. The number of members was In creased to forty, so that the government meets the new house with a slightly de creased majority. Expecting Too Much. Punch. Unfashionable Mother— What a sweet child!

We Girls Grew Envious and Decided to Try it for -^ Once. ,"*J; Some First Experience That Doesn't Look Well in i* Print. - I■ - * I 111 l« ~; : 'J0' The Joys of Cycling When Once the Art Has Been Won. pranpiE . was, to, me, a wonderful feat of engineering skill when I first saw- a man on a high wheel bicycle. I pond-' ered long on the superiority of masculine equilibrium and for the billioneth and one time in my life wished the Fates had been kinder and sent ; .me trousers instead of skirts. My brother and other girls' brothers would sail past like winged Mercuries on the silent steeds, utterly oblivious— no, 1 don't •lean that— supremely conscious . that man was for the wheel and woman be longed to the infantry. We rebelled. Secret conclaves were held and it was decided that we wouldn't take a. back seat, which in wheel parlance means poising one's self on that infinitesimal mounting step,' with the ball of the foot as the center of gravitation, putting : your arms around the young man's shoulders and declaring when you dis mount that you had a lovely ride. Of course you didn't. The only lovely part was for the young man, aud it isn't to be wondered that it took such a long time and men were so reluctant in manufacturing la dies' wheels. Well, we wanted a moon light night and it came. I verily believe the moon had rubbed up her tin plate for the occasion. There never was a" brighter night. Objects shone, to our watchful eyes, in a light twice as bright as the noonday sun. How that wheel glittered as we took my brother's out of. the shed. And we linos: Repented. our daring to usurp the solitude of this throne. Every spoke had the reflecting power of a double incandescent, and the way the thing squeaked! I don't believe it had been oiled since the first output in the year 1. It was as heavy, too, as the car of the Juggernaut: but we finally got it into the alley, and then Nell slipped of her wrapper and ap peared— not in equestrienne tights, be cause it was before the invention of that blessing, but clad in knee pant suit " of her younger brother. And she looked every inch a boy with her hair scraped up under the jaunty commodore cap. I never have seen a woman on a wheel to this day without thinking how much . better she would look dressed in her younger brother's suit than in a skirt which is sure to pull, up and show an amount of ankle, inad missible elsewhere. ; . We braced the wheel up against the 1 high board fence, which Nell climbed with an agility rivaling the small boys in this untrameled condition. She reached the saddle with somewhat less skill aijd considerably less assurance in the whisper which we used lest those awful boys should discover us usurp ing their high horse, t 1 pushed/and pulled, but the thing wouldn't go. The spirit was willing, but the flesh was very weak, .and the wheel very strong and heavy. Finally, a strong push, a strong push- it trem bled, it rose, it tolled. Yes, the wheel, rolled. It rolled right over *in t,he way no :. wheel was ever . expected, lo; at least we didn't expect, it to go. I was crushed beneath its weight, but more crushed by the cha grin of defeat. Nell' was on top, not a bit hurt by her sudden descent to mother earth, but considerably more of the earth, earthy. She was up in a minute, fired with anger, anil vowing she would conquer that horrid thing. The sepul chral whisper was forgotten, but wo Set Our Teeth, righted the machine, and she gave a spring into the saddle. In some unac countable way the saddle changed its' position in space, and Nell took a header. Considerably worse for wear, with a tangled veil of hair about her shoulders, she rose in majesty, and de clared that if she ever left terra -irma again for so uncertain a seat as a Kirk patrick saddle, she be transformed into a monkey. From that day she pre serves a rigid silence when the relative merits of bloomers and tie-backs are discussed, and I strongly suspect dress reform would have received a hearty advocate if the Fates had been kinder that night.' The wheel sat up therein all its un disturbed glory and we looked at it. "Masculine superiority undisguised," I remarked bitterly, and if my hearing had not been made dull through anger I am sure I would have heard a sup pressed giggle from among the shadows across the way. Not to be conquered, I slipped off my dress skirts.and in abbre viated double skirts ascended - the wheel, climbing up on the spokes; aud 1 certainly believe if I hadn't done that I would have been all right, for you know what is said about the one who doesn't go into the gate of the Sheep fold, but climbeth up another way. The front wheel offered a con venient toboggan slide, and when I struck it was something of less resist ance than the water at White Bear. Somewhat bruised and mangled by the fall, 1 got up and gave the machine a kick right from the ball-and-socket joint. This appeased my wrath, and I was about to "try, try again" when— angels and ministers of grace defend us —ribald, jeering, mocking laughter rang out from the willows opposite, and from out the shadows emerged— my mean brother, who had overheard Nell and me planning. Girls can keep a secret, but boys have no business to sneak around and eavesdrop. We didn't wheel any more that night. u-.u My next attempt was at a bicycle school. It wasn't much fun, aud there was very little experience. Everything the teacher told me to do 1 felt .Beep In OTv Soul was wrong. To turn the wheel in to ward an object when I was going Into it any way seemed the height of absurd ity, and to lean with the "wheel when turning corners was a thing not to be considered. I had studied physics, and knew something about gravitation. So it took me longer than it should have, and the only consoling remarK . the teacher would make was that I was doing perhaps 1 a little better than the average. Despair might have overtaken me hut that the instructor was charm ing and told me stories about'- his- long trips. I learned later that his "wife sometimes accompanied him on these trips. The tug of war began when I left the riding school and began upon the road. Going straight ahead was easy after you had once mounted; but the mounting! The left foot never did find the pedal until you had wobbled so much that the wheel was started in the opposite direc tion. And gliding around corners was easy in the rink, for the wheel seemed to run in, a groove; but on* a. sidewalk, where you had just so mu*h room, you usually were not in It. It is supposed to be the broad way which leads to de struction, but this time it was the nar row one. One n*i*jrning I counted the black and blue spots, and when -I reached nineteen with some yet not on the list, I decided ignorance wa3 bliss. "With all the difficulty 1 had I should certainly advise all women .to wheel. You may have the phenonrfenai success of learning in ten minutes of some -ffom»*i ■ mntho "~ nt o ' b'-Jj)j-^*-' -good, but don't despair if it takes ten half-hour lessons.

It makes -one of the joys of living during the ■ summer mouths. Starting from the top ot a long hill, your feet, poised on the coasters, yoa will feel again the child ish delight of going swiftly through the air without an effort. And if it doesn't bring back the childish glow to cheeks and heart you may rank yourself among the devitalized fossils of humanity. The all important question to a woman -after she has worn out one dress in learning is'*What shall I wear?" The ap proved skirt for appearance * measures in circumference about 140 inches. The : front should be gored, and at the sides of the front breadth two . extra pleats from the knee down are inserted. This skirt isn't the best to wear on a dark night, for there is too much fullness around the feet. A bell skirt makes a safe habit and a pretty one, except that i the ankle movement is likely to become very apparent without a perfect skirt adjustment. The shirt-waist is the cool est thing, and a blazer should accom pany it. One with short skirts is best, as you do not want your long swallow tails floating out like flags. For city riding a long, perfectly fitting basque is best form. The clothing should all be' dark, and a lining of wool is best to keep the skirt from blowing. Tennis or kan garoo shoes will not slip on the pedal. The gloves should be thin," as the rub ber handles will draw. The headgear , may be a cap or sailor, the first for ap pearance, the second for protection. As - to color, gray or black looks best, since the wheel is steel and enamel but dark blue, brown or green make up into fetching suits. Light or bright colors look badly."

BOOMING THE WORLD'S FAIR. Dr. de Guervillc Had an Audience With the Ruler of the Celes . tials. Chicago Times. Dr. de Guerville, who is traveling in the East with an illustrated lecture on the world's fair, is now in China. His trip in Japan, during which he gave his lecture at all the principal cities and towns, was very successful. The em peror accorded him a special audience, and his illustrated description of the world's fair was given on one occasion, as a special entertainment for the emperor, empress and the high digni taries of the Japanese court. Dr. de Guerville has recently com menced- his tour of China, but at last advices was suffering from, the effects of malarial fever, from which, however, there was a prospect of his entire, re covery. Before he fell ill Dr. de Guerville had an interview with the viceroy of China, Li-Honshor.g, admiral of the navy and commander of the army, in which the whole subject matter of Chinese ex hibits at the fair was pretty full dis ■ cussed. Li-llonshong, in the course .of the audience, stated that he could not feel that the attitude of the United States toward the Chinese government had been friendly, but. he listened with great attention to the pro positions ot Dr. de Guerville, who, as the honorary commissioner for the ex position, set forth the advantages that would undoubtedly accrue to China if -important and interesting exhibits were made from that country. ■ji'- The interview lasted for two hours, i during which Commissioner de Guer- I ville rehearsed at considerable length j an.l in detail the features, extent and | administration ot the Columbian expo j sition. Regardless of Cost. On account of the necessity of being compelled to enlarge its works, the J. 11.

Canopies, Extension Tops, Kensingtons, Bangors, Concords and Light Vehicles of all descriptions, such as were never offered before. The en tire stock of over 100 Carriages and Buggies of various styles will be sold regardless of cost. Convince yourself by giving them a call. Come early and reap the benefit of this rare opportunity. .
