A review at this time of the halr-ycar
achievements OF that inconspicuous but
fascinating and even idyllic ma gaZine,
the Bibelot, suggests the obligation under
which It's publisher places the republic of
intelligence by its publication. AS he
once said in a prospectus. If any apoioaia
be necessary it may be found in the table
o. contents. A magazine devoted, as is
the Hbelot, to the renaissance OF appte-
ciation for the classic, for flowers which
have beer permitted to waste their sweet
ness on desert air, and for those splen1id
elements in literature not of the Gay and
hour, but OF all time, is deserving Of affec-
tionate appreciation.

and friend of rare Fen Jonson, are given

in July and August, he will print tale
by the late william Morris that has not
been reissued since 1t was printed in the

guineas to procure!

Another work of reference even more up
to-date is that one which takes its name
from that very fact, the "Up-to-Date Cy-
clopae,lia'' As has before been explained
herein, this is monthly revision of d ref
erence book OF especial value to special
lists OF various kinds. The idea OF the work
IS original, and its editor has set himself
hard task in keeping his volume up to the
mark in tmeliness. A cursory glance
through this month copy inclnes one to
the belief, however, that he s performing
his duty faithfully aud skillfully, and that

One Of the hooks of recent publication
which, besides its literary merits, has the
elaborate pictorial embellishments which
we are accustomed to look for only in hoii-
day books, is the third of Blanche McMa-
nus colonial monographs, ''The Voyage of
the Mayflower." Miss McMaDus gives a
succinct, but fluent and interesting mar
rative of the affairs of the Puritan move
ment. both before and after the sailing of
the Maylower. Every page is Illuminated

borrowed from the period of her narrative,

and the secretary, who is intensely So

who are supposed to be suffering from
lack of food, authorized them to pro-
coed to ship the machines to Alaska
and make an effort to get through the
interior. The plan is to use either the
Chilkat pass and the Dalton trail, or
White pass, with the preference to the
former route.
The men who were at the war de-
partment today assured Secretary AL
ger that they could take the locomo-
tives up the hills of either of these
passes. with the possibility of requir-
ing the assistance of cable power in
one place about half mile long. Once
over that place. near the head of Chill

for speech. But he refused to talk,
and again he was cheered, Mrs. Bryan
