~Yawps and other Things"

e'Yawps and Other Things" by William
]. Hampton. Henry Altemus company,
Philadelphia.
On The editorial page of the New York
Sun there are to be found regularly pc
4 culiar, perpendicularly elongated verses
| the text of which is some domestic news
item or cable dispatch. They are the
work of William j. Hampton who calls
! them 'Yawps," and by him and others
they are regarded as the missing link be-
tween poetry and prose. The author thus
| describes his product:
''It rythms
When it rythms,
And it rhymes
Sometimes,
But whether it does
Or not,
1t gets there
Just the same.
Which is where the yawp
Has got
The bulge on a lot
OF contemporaneous
And other modern and ancient
Literature.
Under the title of "Yawps and Other
Things" the outpourings above mention
ed have been collected and others added.
There is nothing in the yawp which is
fiat or commonplace; nothing mean, low,
or whining; there is no sickly sentiment
talizing, but whole-hearted, laughing OPP
uHfiSn ana pfiildll Soou luiiloI III 1dCt,
Mr. Hampton may be regarded as q ben
efactor to his kind one whose influence
is none the less widespread because it
cannot be measured Think of the num-
Der of men who quit the breakfast table
i'll at ease with the world and them
selves, who on their way down to bust
ness are put into good humor by yawp,
and who for the rest of the day beam
on all those with whom they come in
contact.
The book is well printed and will be
welcomed alike by those who have all
ready read some of the yawps and those
to whom they come as something entire
ly new.

''Cupids Garden is an apt title for the

is decidedly the cleverest story of the

preface there is an interesting analysis
of the short story.

1.-The Joys of Sport" by w. Y. Steven
son. illustrated by G. r. Brill Henry
Altemus company, Philadelphia.
The great objection to most forms of
sport, so-called, is the eXertion they de-
mand. A writer, therefore, who en-
ables us to participate iii THE Joys of
Sport by our own fireside, as it WCre
is entitled to everlasting gratitude. The
title quoted is that of a most attractive
little book issued by the Henry Altemus
company. The writer is what is called
an all-around sportsman. He has tried
them all, or certainly has observed them
all, and has penetrated the essential pur-
poses of each. He has viewed it from
all sides. From the fox's point of view,
hunting is great fun" From the dogs
point Of view, it is much like the never
ending human search for happiness. He
keeps on and on and never gets there
The 'only participation in the fox hunt
who has no particular reason for enjoy
ing himself is the hunter We cite
these few sentences merely to illustrate
the philosophical spirit in which Mr..
Stevenson treats his theme. There is
scarcely a recognized form of sport in"
which he cannot find some good. Thus

while dreaming by twenty-five sleep
walkers in trance" while baseball lis
played for the purpose of giving a large
number of people the chance of express
ing their opinions Cloth oral and written),
not even be permitted to freight Them
With this excellent appreciation of the
purpose of each game or sport, our
author is able to describe in details, its
incidents and accidents with a cOnvinc-
ing vivacity. He deals with fencing, box
ing, bicycling, tennis, croquet, billiards,
rowing, skating, football, handball, and
the pursuit of various game. 'Gawf,'
he says, lis a great game but shiver
me niblcks if 1 think it comes up to
tiddiedywinks. 1t is played with a
couple of farms, a river or so, two or
three sand hills, number of implements
resembling enlarged dentists tools,
strange language, much like Hindoostani,
any old clothes and a large assortment
of oaths." All these things are set forth
in Mr.. Stevenson's bright little book, to-.
which the funloving reader, whether
he likes sport or not, is cordially re-
ferred. 1t is cleverly illustrated by @. r,
Brill, and has what the Philadelphia
Times calls a Nicholsonian cover that
is delightful.

''The Story of the Alphabet" By Ed
York.
This little book is the latest volume
of THE Library of Useful Stories" is
sued by the Appletons, the merits of
which as brief text books of science are
being fully recognized by the enlightened
public. No more instructive or inter
esting series of unpretentious J5ubHca-
tons have ever appeared. The student
of the series will find himself the 2jos-
SCISSOR of a LIBERAL education on scientific
subjects if he really avails himself of
the almost inexhaustible fund of valu-
able knowledge which they offer
THE Story of the Alphabet gives in
outline the history of the primitive
stages of the art of writing which is
necessary to learning of the development
art and of its being placed in its true
practice in the evolution of human in
Ventions. We have the alphabet We
rarely think of inquiring how it came
into being, as the author says: What
is ever Seen is never Seen. This lit
tie book traces the beginning Of the
alphabet. 1t is amply illustrated and
deals successfully with the Chinese, Jap
anese and Corean scripts, with cunt
form writing, with Egyptian hieroglyph-
les, the Rosetta Stone, the Greek Papyri
and other stages reached in the develop
ment of the present and practically final
system of conveying thought to paper by
chosen signs.
The story is a wonderful one and it's
reading reveals to the ordinary mind
marvels of the instructive effort Of the

Hollis. Houghton, Mialin & Co, Bos-
ton.
The constitution has so long been a
favoritc theme for writer's that little
that is new is included in Mr. Hollis
book, although much that has been for
gotten is recalled. His history of the
old frigdee is a synopsis of our naval
history during the year "Old Ironsides''
was in service, and contains also a good
account OF the Warships and ornaments
of that time.
Congress authorized the building of the
Constitution in 1894, and she was the
best example of the wooden frigates
that played such an important part in
the naval history of hundred years
ago The old ship always held warm
place in the affections of the people and
when the naval commissioners recon-
mended that she be broke up and sold
the popular sentiment was so greatly
against the move that the order was re-
voked and congress appropriated money
to rebuild her. That was in 1888.
The frigate is at present in the Bos-
ton navy yard and ant effort is being
made to raise 100000 to restore her to
her former appearance.
