HaIter.Breaking Colts.

1t is an excellent practice to break
colt to halter ut weaving time, for the
younger the colt is taught to lead the
more easily is the operation accom-
pliShcd. Youngsters halter-broken at
weaving time are more than half har-
ness broken when of age for service.
1t is quite an undertaking to round up
a three or four-ycar-old colt and break
it to halter. which feat is necessary
before the process of harness racing
commences. At that age they are SO
strong and frequently make such 4
protracted and stubborn fight that the
animal is spoiled. 1t not infrequently
happens that the horse rearS and
breaks its neck in the operation. All
danger may be ~ OiGed. and the labor
necessary to educate the cold to lead
will be minimizcd by halter-breakinS
at wnaning time. a colt will soon yield
to the tension of the halter If pulled at
an angle. and it quickly learns that
to follow the breaker relieves 1t from
pain. The resistance is brief and the
Subjugation complete.

That the death Of Stevens was premature and
very grave loss to journalism must be ad-
nitted without qualification He was only thirty
when he died, and he had produced already
work as striking in quality it was abundant
in quantity. No death in the South African
war has been OF could be more deplorable,
There are fifteen brief letters in From Cape
Town TO Ladysmith.' the merest fragment Of
the standard book of South African war letters
which every one expected that Stevens would
write They give & glimpse Of Cape Town on
the eve OF the struggle, a picture Of Stormberg
Junction and other points Of interest in the
campaign, al account Of the battle of Glands
Iaagte, the story Of NicholsOn's Mex, and some
notes on the bombardment of Ladysmith and
events in the vicinity Of that town. In all the
letters we get that terse, lucid and spirited
portrayal Of the landscape, and the events for
which it furnishes q background, TO which Mr.

LIMO, pp. 4Jj. Longmans, Green * Co
To make a novel according to the accepted
notions Of the present time, out of material
found in the East of more than a thousand
years ago, obviously requires unusual capacity
and some daring The late Mrs. benton was not
without ability, and "Geber' contains some skill
ful work It is of doubtful value as a novel
however Through a narrative of great length
the threads of plot crudely enough devised in
the first place are kept in hand only by severe
effort, and at the end slip from the authors
grasp in very disappointing fashion. Geber. the
astroOger, who shares the centre of the stage
with the KhaIif. turns trustingy TO the Chris
tian faith in the concluding chapter. and thus
leaves the reader to dwell, as in the first pages
upon the religious motive which counts heavily
in the tale. But there is unity TO this story
II Is amOrphOus production. II il is stin
interesting it is because the author managed 10
introduce into it countless little episodes illus
trative of the life of the time. She read her
authorities with diligence. She could not create
character but she could study it in history and
her portrait Of the great KhaIif is an animated,
plausible piece Of work
Mr.. Boothby is interchangeable. Another story

the same adventurous characters and the

book its title, goes about the world seeking 70

change of government he might expect TO make
some profit for himself. His accomplices give
him more trouble than his opponents in the par

"Meritorious'' is the word TO be applied %
Mrs, Francis's new novel. The plot is simple
and sufficiently well set forth. the characters
are few and some Of them are natural the style
is reasonably good, the action moderately dra-
matte The story is, in short, one to lie read
with considerable interest and unfaeging de-
sire to know the deuouement. If il does not
call for a second reading it only shares in that
the fate Of most novels of the day. II IS en-
phaticaIly 4 woman's story. with quite zoo
fauItIess voman's hero who loves above his

of his lady Of high degree. The strength ot
the book as a literary performance lies in the
drawing of some of the subsidiary characters
Among these however. We cannot count Mrs.
Fftzherbert and her Prince of Wales. who are
little more than lay figures.
