THE SILENCE OF KIPLIyG

The following letter recently appeared in THE
London Star:
Sir: You say it is being asked why the war
correspondents at the front failed TO report the
aWIul tactS concerning the disgraceful made
quacy or hospital accommodation with the army
IN South Africa, and you give sufficient an
s"er-the censor. Would it not be better 10
put the same question TO Mr.. Rudyard Kfpling ,
There was no censor to muzze him. He Is a
high priest Of an Imperialism that can only exist
IN an air in which mtarsm is rampant He
IS the poet laureate of the army He 10 tte
official recorder Of the sayings and doings good
and evil Chiefly the eviD. Of Tommy Atkins
he is supposed to be Tommy's greatest friend
Yet he kept silent. Can ne explain why? Surely
his journey to South Africa was not mere
pleasure trip, with eyes closed against everv-
thing unpleasant. Surely il was not undert aiken
merely for the purpose of collecting material
for copy! Surely the man has bowels OF com
passion! Why In the name of all humanity did

Small, Maynard Co.
The London publishing house Of Kegan Paul
has paid the Boston firm OF Small, Maynard e.
Co q compliment by initiating the pleasant
series Of books known as the Beacon Biog-
raphies. The first Of the new series. called the
Westminster Biographies. has already appeared
on both sides Of the Atlantic, in this country
with Small. Maynard e. Co.'S imprint. In size
and general makeup the two series are prac-
ticaIly identical the chief difference being in the
color Of the covers. II is worth noting, too that
this first volume has been printed in this coun-
try. All these little volumes are models Of
tasteful and serviceable bookmaking The Eng
lish editor will deserve praise II he can keep
his series as uniformly excellent as the Ameri-
can series has thus far been. It must be ac-
knowledged, however. that he has not been
happy in his choice Of a biographer Of Robert
Browning Mr.. Arthur Waugh painstaking and
sppreciative though he may be, was the

man had history at his finger tips, date taken

Justly applied TO Mfr. Waugh's little book. II
fails completely, as actors say TO light up" the
subject. II follows Browning's history with
hdeiity; but the record 1t leaves is common

such could fail 10 be full OF interesting

NOTES on NEW BOOKS.
SOME INTERESTING VOLUMES OF LIT
ERATURE AND HISTORY.

Three new volumes have lately appeared in the
beautiful Library Of English Classics, pub

devoted to Boswe's Johnson, the edition being
the reprint from that prepared by Mr.. Now
bray Morris for the Globe" series. issued by
the same house in 1893. Part of that EDITORS
introduction Is printed in place of Mr.. Pollards
usual biographical note. The edition is or
course far less imposing in the mint and cummin

may add to the significance of Boswell, his is

to remark, is on the whole one of the best ever

presswork, binding and price. We have already
referred with approval to the Temple Primers,
published in this country by the Macmans.
and we may add that time is being lost in
placing the series before the public. We have
previously noted seven of the useful little vol

believe, all been previously published in peri
odicals. but it is JOY to have them in per
manent form. Mr. Kemble is a genuine humor-
ist. and his style Of draughtsmanship is exactly
adapted to his particular kind of fun. From
the same publisher we have edition of Mr..

The Macmillan Company has sent out a curl
GUS note in reply to a critic who claims that Mr

new novel, The Reign OF Law" The eminence

ways reflected a temporary notoriety upon his
physician. and perhaps 1t is an analogous at
traction that causes a certain class of critics TO
lie in wait for what they imagine to be slips of
the pens for some authors" The note adds

with the smaller end pointing to the
front. Raise the smaller end perpen-
dicularly, bring 1t over and bend it
down until it is parallel and nearly on
level with the logs. Then by means
of rope or a small cha in fasten it TO
the reach. Next fasten chain to the
off reach just forward of the rear bunk.
Throw it over and fasten in precisely
the same manner. Insert another sap
ling. or "twister" as it is called. from
behind, and bring 1t over to the front
where 1t is to be fastened in the same
manner as the first. This method OF
binding, if the chains are tight enough
will hold load of logs securely over
any road and for any length of time.
If the chains are too loose. the smaller
ends of the twisters will begin to play
up and down. Then they must be taken
out and the chains frightened. Then
the twisters must be inserted and Sc
