TALES FROM TOXIC.
A VOLUME DEALING WITH MANY PHASES
OF JAPANESE LIFE.

TALES FROM TOXIC. BY Clarence Ludlow
Brownell. 12mo pp 224. Warner & Brownen.
This little book has the advantage of dealing
with Japan in a somewhat unconventional way.
Instead of following the lines of the usual volume
of travel. II discusses in brief form, half essay,
half story a variety OF themes. Consequently,
we receive information that now and then
probes into the very heart of Japanese life and
opens up many a surprising and interesting
vista The author seems to be fair minded. and
no one can question his frankness; he has evil
denly jotted down just what he has SEEN He
has lively style marred frequently by lapses
into phraseology not associated with good taste.
Occasionally he is mildly amusing; but his book
would be 2 better book if he had not tried so
hard to produce humorous effects and if he had
maintained little more dignity. Some Of his
comments the Japanese will astonish those
readers who are used to rose CClOred views only
of the people For example he says: "Japa-
nese are loyal brave. courteous and hospitabe,
but fair play as Americans and English under
stand it, does not appeal TO them This lack or
perception shows itself in many places-in the
law court, in commercial transactions and even
in athletic sports. AS a class. japanese mer-
chants have hardly more than a vestige OF
commercial integrity"

WIDE VARIETY OF INFORMATION.

WIDE VARIETY OF INFORMATION
In Mexico" a geographical sketch lately
compiled by the Bureau Of American Republics
at Washington, the American reader will find
access TO one of the most thorough works on
its subject printed in English. 1t is written
with special reference to economic conditions
in the Mexican Republic and the prospects for
future development.
The work clearly meets a necessity since the
natural wealth of Mexico is in this country
largely matter of speculation, while the ia
cilities at hand for extending commerce with
our southern neighbor have been little studied
or known, Furthermore, it contains valua BILE
data collected not only from Mexican official
sources but from recognized authorities in the
United States and in other countries. Its
twenty chapters include a geographical sketch,
discussing in abridged form the area, popula-
ton. boundaries. topographic photography and
meteorology of the republic, and presenting a
summary of Mexican history from earliest
known times to the present day, monograph
on Mexican ethnologv by Professor o. T Ma
son, and a study of the government and con-
stitutional organization OF the republic The
following subjects are treated in special detail:
Stock breeding. mines and mining. industries
and manufactures, commerce, financial organi-
zation and public debt mints, currency, banks
roads and railroad laws, telegraphs, telephones
steamship lines and postal service. public lands,
colonization and immigration laws education,
religion, Protestant missions and patent and
trade mark laws There are also tables giving
the area of the several States and Territories
of Mexico the position and altitude of the capt.
tails of the States and of the principal noun
tains, meteorological observations vital statis-
tics, weights and measures, the value of coins
and the average cost of imported articles in
Mexico City. A list is provided Of the treaties
and conventions concluded between Mexico and
the principal countries of the world and a chap
ter is devoted to the photography and cartog-
raphy Of the country, containing list of Off
cial and unofficial publications on Mexico of
miscellaneous character, a list of authorities on
ethnography and archaeology since 1870 pre-
pared by Professor Mason. and a list of maps
of Mexico from 1858 to date. The States and
Territories are treated separately. a brief de-
scription being given of each. its resources,
trades and industries.
