He was followed by band of ffteeS
Indians who emerged from the darkness,
crawling slowly on their hands and knees.
As they came they uttered strange low,
gutteral sounds in their threats. They
like their predecessors, were naked to
their waists and daubed and streaked
with white paint. Their little brown legs
were bare, and their loins were encircled
with a short skirt of dark feathers. They
wore head dresses of black crow featfi-
ers which fell to their waists in dark
festoons.
The procession of crawling Indians was
preceded by three braves, who walked
backward, and apparently tried to herd
the others back AS the procession slowly

but they were prevented by the herders.
When the band had made the circle of
the blaze three times it came to a halt
and the herders were handed bowls of
magic fluid by the medicine men, which
they sprinkled upon the heads and backs
of the kneeling savages with feathers.
During the ceremony not sound was
heard but a low, monotonous chant
which the squaws had begun as the pro-
cession halted.
After the sprinkling the band leaped up
and began furious dance, accompanied
by yells and shrieks of maddened excite
ment. AS the dance grew wilder the
chants grew louder and more frantic, the
women joined in the chorus, and for ten
hours the braves danced until they, could

.keIea; the Surf Rider,

''Keiea; the Surf Rider" by Alexander
Stevenson TWombly Fords Howard &
Hubert, New York
The pagan romance of Hawaii has the
merit OF novelty at time when atten-
ton has been directed so largely to the
pagan romance of ancient Rome and the
historical romance of colonial America.
The author, who has publ shed a history
of Hawaii, is familiar with the islands
and has made their history subject Of
exhaustive research
The present tale is work of imagina-
tive fiction dealing, not with the Hawaii
that has been the scene of the contend
ing forces of native and immigrant, but
the Hawaii of ancient times. There are
exciting incidents and adventures in
abundance, and the book has many col
orful descriptions of the life of ancient
Hawaii and the sports of shark fighting,
hunting, volcano exploring and savage
combat Some of the characters intro
duced into the book are historic, and the
author affords a glimpse of the warrior
who later in life became Kamehameha l.
AS picture of island life and scenery,
and for the suggestions it gives as. to
the character and origin of the native
Hawaiians, and the traditions under
which they have developed, the book has
an obvious interest. The book is finely

John Rusl1in,'' by Mrs. Meynell. From
Dodd, Mead & Co. New York
The author set herself to hard task
in reviewing the life and work of this,
one of the greatest of great men OF ali
ages. In the arts Ruskin was the most
successful as a teacher and a critic, in
that he overturned many of the estab-
lished IDOLS SO high seated on the Pc
destal of public favor by reason Of their
antiquity, and forced men to draw their
deductions OF the proper ideas in art
from what they saw around them in ma
ture, and not the visionary day-dreaming
or harmony in color That Nature herself
could not impart. Then, again, he at
tackled the accepted ideals of architec-
ture, showing that uncouthness was not
beauty, nor immolation of heather build
ers modern genius.
The most to- be wondered at influence
that Rusl1in was acknowledged to have
was that when the first volume of
Modern Painters appeared, in 1843, he
was but in his twenty-fourtl year, and
yet his criticisms were accepted as
truths by his seniors in years and eX-
perienee, as well as those contemporary
with him. For fifty years he exercised
an influence IN art, architecture and 30
Ht1ca1 economy that is accorded to Sat
few men who pursue their studies along
single line of thought; instead of three
of the most ahlstTuse subjects Which
have ever engaged scholars attention
Taking into consideration his simple
mode of living; his not too great init
macy with the world at large; the theo-
ries he advanced along his lines of study
were more practical than thousands
have been able to achieve by expert
ence
John Ruskin, as reviewed by Mrs.
Meynell is entirely comprehensive to
those of higher education, interspersed
as the book is by quotations from his
most famous works; and to such will be
welcome addition to the best libraries,
acting as handbook to those who de-
sire to study Ruskin. For the painstak-
ing work done by the author, it's utility
will last so long as the works of the
great Rusl1in are extant.
