Notes of New Books.
ARecollections- to 1885," by the Right
Hon. Sir Algernon West, K. G. b. Har-
per & Brothers, New York and London.
What Boswell did for Samuel johnson
and Pepys, in his famous Diary, for
the London society of 200 years ago. Sir
Algernon West has done for the long
line of English celebrities who moved
across the horizon of British history In
fifty years, including the middle period
of the nineteenth century.
The author confesses that he wrote
these pages partly for the interest they
may possess for his children. Well might
he have included thousands of other chir-
dren and numerous adult readers OF to-
day. From Peel and Graham to Glad
stone and Greville is far cry, includ-
ing in the biographical gamut such cele-
brated characters as Robert Lowe, Var
ma, Lord Broughton, Fox, Froude, Kings
ley, Montgomery, Tennyson. Churchill
and Sir Erskine May and many others.
But Sir Algernon has touched upon them
all and brought home to us the Vividness
of their personalities in a most fascinat-
ing manner.
How many people we hear say, were
they permitted to go abroad, London
should be the first foreign city visited.
Well the next best thing to trip to that
metropolis is a session with the "Recol-
lections'' of Sir Algernon West.
0Captain LAndOn."
s'Capt. Iandon," Richard Henry Savage.
Rand, McNally & Co., Chicago.
Richard Henry Savage's newest story
follows in general way the lines laid
down in his early successful romances'
and, like my Official Wife" and It's sue
cessors, Captain Landon" has wealth
of action. In soma respects, however, the
tale is hardly up to the pace set In for
mer days by the authors Of romantic ad-
venture. While the characters move
across the stage with all the old-time
dash, they do so under protest, and the
interest flags, In spite Of the briskness
with which complication is added to COM
plication. The story, however, Is reada-
ble and In its own domain of fiction
suffers most when compared with other
work by the same author.
The story takes into its scope an
American army feud that was trans
felred to Rome. There 1t was fought out
with such powerful accessories as were
found in the personnel of the American
consular service, the diplomatic corps,
the American colony in general and sew
eral important native Romans Of both
good and evil character.
The finale is as dramatic as one might
wish, showing the wronged hero, defiant
and aggressive, clearing UP every shadow
that was upon his reputation, winning
his bride, who had never really doubted
him, shifting his enemies hip and thigh
and witnessing the utter social and f1nan-
cial overthrow Of his arch enemy.

jeweler, land nothing is easier-appar-

reason why any gentleman might not

are so small they can be hidden in a hun

yet smuggling them on a commercial
scale is nearly always detected. This is
accomplished through very peculiar and
almost unknown bureau of the govern

the way, and enormous sums Of money
are being tied up in the stones. 1t Is be-

Cincinnati Enquirer.
The usual results Of exposure to extreme
cold are loss Of enegry, both physical and

inclination to move; the mental faculties

sistible desire to lie down and sleep If
this desire Is yielded to the lethargy
passes into stupor and death follows. Oc-
casionally these symptoms are preceded
by others which resemble those of intoxi-
cation, and are due to a peculiar condi-
ton of the blood, which at a very low
temperature takes up an insufficient guam
tity Of oxygen, and so has an injurious
effect on the nervous system. It was OBJ
served during the retreat Of the French
from Moscow that those who were most
severely affected by the cold often reeled
about as If intoxicated; they also COM
planned of giddiness and indistinctness of
vision, and sank gradually into a state
of lethargic stupor, from which 1t was
impossible to arouse them. Other in
stances are recorded in which persons be-
came delirious and died through q short
exposure to intense cold.

One of the most important factors In

his Imagination and interest and with
this idea in mind the author of prose and
Verse for Children has collected these
tales and verses. They deal with the lit

doings and fates Of animals that have
come under the authors notice, and from
which lessons may be instilled into the
child's mind. The selections are classi-
fed according to the months. beginning
with September, and will not fail to hold
the child's attention. The vocabulary Is
large, and the illustrations interesting.

Some Of the newest and best are from
