ecdotes of a man who in his lifetime was thought

"a Midsummer Lark" Henry Holt q Co..,
by w. A. Croffut, is a sportive and In
eenious description of tour in Europe.
Though printed after the manner OF prose. it
is rhymed throughout with never-failing melo-
dious agility. "This splash of paint"
says the author in his preface, may pass Tor
an IMPRESSION like those before whose
cloudy ystas linger ecstatc gazers at the
Exhibition--done with very sudden thumb
and finger one of the sort of vague and shadowy
cuesses into whose fabric Fancys frolics enter sug
costing vastly more than it expresses" Over Great
Britain, Germany and Switzerland Mr., Crofut
takes his rhyming flight.

Il is perhaps unnecessary to say anything 70 IN
troduce DR.. Hugh Macmillan to American reauerS'
Tae charm and versatility of his style are kho"p
to many cultivated people. The Marriage ol
60 IN col;lee the latest volume from his pen, is
distinguished by most of bis pecullarites. IL
shows the same microscopic attention to de-
tails, the same wealth of imagery and
the same skill In deducmg useful lessons that have
distinguished the author of Bible Teachings IN
Nature" This little book consists OF nine chapters
each of which has for its subject some incident con-
nectea with the story of the marriage in Cana.
There would not seem to be much in this miracle OF
AN ethical nature but DIR. Macmillans fertile brain
finds great deal that is suggestive and interest
ing. Nevertheless we doubt the expediency OF de-
voting whole volume to such slight episode
Life is too short for the ordinary reader to spare
time for books like this, and monographs however
brilliant. on detached saying or parable from the
Bible are not likely to be widely read in this busy
workaday world.
