lustrates her self control. One night she
was driving to the house of commons
with her husband when he was about
to make an important speech. His.
mind naturally was much preoccupied
and she knew how important 1t was
not to disturb him. 1t so happened
that OF the way the carriage door was
opened and in shutting 1t her hand
was caught, inflicting a most painful
wound. But her husband never knew
she had been hurt until after his
speech had been delivered. There is
something finer in this than any mere

Beaconsfield.
Writers who whitewash evil names
in history are never wanting. Now they
take up Barrere, now Benedict Arnold,
now Robespierre and for ought
know, Judas Iscariot has not wanted
for his defender. The devil himself has
had his apologist. An optimistic old
lady once remarked Of thin that he
was at least an industrious person.
The latest wnitewashing has been done
by Henry B. Irving, son believe of
Sir Henry Irving. Mr.. Irving in a
book of biography, defends the notori
Gus Judge Jeffreys, whom Macaulay
gibbeted, and whom all the world has
been content TO see nanS Where Mac
aulay placed him. Mr.. Irving contends
that Jeffreys was not as black as he
was painted; that he represented his
times. their manners and their legal
customs, etc. But I fancy something
more will be needed to restore the man
to any honorable place in history.

For books on the navy, as I have said

a sharp demand. With Capt. Mahan's
books, Maclay's history, Spears history
and several books Of illustrations the
trade has done extremely well, and SO

Col. George E. Waring writes under
standingly Of an important subject in
his Street Cleaning" The methods
pursued in foreign cities are carefully
studied and exactly stated, and the
comparison between these methods
and results and our own is interesting
and encouraging, for, while it is shown
that the typical American city has not
reached perfection, she seems at least
to have found a short cut to compara-
tive cleanliness.
Col. Waring is not a man who is
penny wise and pound foolish, and he
shows most convincingly that nothing
can be done without a generous outlay
in money, but the expenditure must
be careful as well as generous, and
economy is the result
The part Of the book which treats
OF 'Steet Cleaning" in New York is
particularly interesting, and ones con-
fidence in Col. Warnings suggestions
and conclusions is strengthened by the
knowledge of his practical experience
and success.

In the minds of many Chinese the

covered, and the way in which the
hair is dressed depends largely upon
the age, rank and place of abode.
Even within the same province the
dress Of the hair varies greatly. Some
are very beautifully, and others, ac-

The hero Of Mr.. Crocketts new novel
is none other than our old friend who
swan the Esk river when ford there
was none," and this fact alone should
entitle him to our respectful considera-
ton. Above and beyond this, "Lochln-
var" is an excellent novel of its type,
and in it the author reVerts to MS
crisper early manner, and makes less
use Of padding than is his wont. 1t
is true that at times the adventures
of Walter Gordon of Lochinyar and
of Kate McGhie, his lady-love, drag
little and seem to sbe adventures for
adventures sake,~but in general the
book moves with a, rap1dlty Sufhclent
for the most eXacting readers Gordon
was Cne among the many Scotch refu-
gees in Holland in 1885, when the story
opens. and the bonny Kate was also
an exile, as her CoNenanter synpathies
were so strong 3 as to threaten the
bringing of discredit upon her good
father and his estates. Kate is also
admired by the Earl of Barra, then
ostensibly in the service Of the Prince
of Orange, and hence arise most of
the trials of theS pair, including their
spirited elopef1ent at the end from un-
der the would-be bridegroom's asto,ni5h-
ed ewes. Most people know by this
time whether they like Mr.. Crockett's
breathless and careaessly written novels
or not. Those who do will find this
equal in quantity and quality to the
ether things the author has done of
late. and those who do not will be able
to find the customary reasons for their
justification here. The purveyors to
fhe appetite for exciting fiction are get
ting TO be as we'll known as the dealers

really no more reason for writing q
review of each Of Mr.. Crockett's novels
than there is for writing a review of
