whose natural tendency is to beauty.
An exciting incident in the story is
in which the Roman cavalry is, attacked
by a herd of lions, thus described by
Salathiel:
In the next moment a mass of cav
airy came laundering down the ravine.
They had broken off from their march,
through the accident of aroustng
struggling lion, and followed him in the
giddy ardor of the chase But the sight
now before them was enough to appal
the boldeSt intrepidity. The valley was
filled with the vast herd; etreat was i'm
possible, for the troopers came still pour
ing in by the only pass, and from the
sudden descent of the glen horse and man
were rolled head foremost among the
lions; neither man nor monster could re-
treat.
The conflict was horrible: the heavy
spears of the DICTIONARIES plunged through
bone and brain; the lions, made more fu-
rtous by wounds, sprang upon the pow
erful horses and tore them to the ground
or flew at the troopers threats, and
crushed and dragged away cuirass and
buckler. The valley was a struggling
heap of human and savage battle; man,
lion, and charger writhing and rolling in
agonies until their forms were undiS-
tinguishable. The groans and cries OF the
legionaries, the screams of the mangled
horses, and the roars and bowling of the
lions, bleeding with sword and spear,
tearing the dead, darting up the sides
OF the nils in terror, and rushing down
again with the fresh thirst Of gore,
baff1ed all conception of fury and horror
But man was the conqueror at last; the
savage, sea: ed by the spear, and thinned
in their numbers, made a rush in one
body toward the ravine, overthrow every
thlng In their way and burst from the
valley, awakening the desert for many
a league with their roar.
The present edition contains in it's in

Christian in Hungarian Romance.
1.-THE Christian in Hungarian Romance"
a study of DR.. Marcus Jokai's novel,
There is a God; or, the People Who
Love but Once, by John H. West &
. Co, Boston. Mass. st. Paul: st. Paul
Book and Stationery company.
This tile book-a study in world liter
ature-gives an Illustration, in fact as
well as in fiction, of the manner in VIII Oh
the greatest of Hungarian novelists
Maurus Jokai, endeavors to solve for the
Hungarian people such problems as are
presented to the English reader by Hall
Game in THE Christian" But Jokai has
an advantage over Hall Game, so far as
the plcturesqueness of his story is con-
cerned, in the fact that he brings his
characters into connection with the STIR
ring scenes of 1913, when both Hungary
and Italy would have secured their lib
Grafton from Austrian misrule but for
the aid of Russia, and also with the bat
tie of Solferino, in 1855, when the defeat
Of Austria paved the way for both Italian
and Hungarian liberty
An interesting figure in the novel is
that Of Pope Plus TX. and, among the
types Of hungarian Christianity depict
ed, both the villain and the hero are
members of that old Episcopalian Uni
tartan church which, forming a strong
contrast to the churches Of the same
name in America and Britain, has exist
ed for over 932 years, being associated
with some of the most tragic and roman
tic events in the history of Southeast
ern Europe and with the deepest psyche
logical problems of our time.

plays with st. Glars part not unlike
that which Washington acted with Brad
fa tiy1cr cfO Of md
aspiration runs throughout the vivid
scenes on the frontier and in the wilder
ness. The winning of the heroine by
dauntless courage and surrender
forms a series of vivid and dramatic
pictures which absorb the readers in

For the first time since the study Of
hypnotisYn has excited so much public
attention, has a book on this enhancing
subject been brought out in America
that unites so much sterling knowledge
of the actual facts in the case with
such absolute simplicity and clearness
in their presentation. AS rule, works
on hypnotism either have been too deep
and scientifically technical to be easy
and pleasant reading for the non-profes-
