Many people suppose that all gold
is alike when refined, but this is not
SO. An experienced man can tell at
a glance from what part of the world
gold piece comes. and in some cases
from what particular gold district the
metal has been obtained. Australian
gold, for instance, is distinctly redder
than that from California. The Ural
gold is the reddest found anywhere.

REVIEWS OF THE WEEK.
An English Country Club.

1.-THE Credit of the County" is a new
story by W. EANorris, already known as
a purveyor of light literature of an en-
tertaining quality The scene is laid in
an English county, where the general in
terest in fox hunting is great. and where
there are the usual elements of human
nature which make life interesting. The
chief characters are husband and wife,
who have become estranged, and a strong
comedy interest is provided by Hebrew
gentleman who is anxious to get into
society, and uses a means very like
blackmail for that purpose. The wealthy
Jew has been a convenient bette noir in
English fiction for some time, and in this
case it really seems as If something
newer might have been introduced. How
ever. Mr.. Reuben Asher is amusing
enough to serve.
The most original feature OF the book
is the denouement, which is somewhat
unexpected and quite novel. The little
featherhead OF heroine is very realis-
tic If not altogether admirable, and the
husband also possesses his full share of
human nature. The minor characters
are well managed, and the book is en-
tertaining throughout (New York: d.

Another Nature Book.

Among the Waterfowl" by Herber;
X. Job, is a study OF the American
waterfowl, most difficult of all wild birds
to know with any accuracy. 1t is il
lustrated from photographs made by the
author, and it is stated that many OF
these pictures were made with a string
over a hundred yards long attached TO
the camera. There are about seventy
five OF them in all
There are five chapters, the first treat
ing OF grebes and looms, which Mr..
Job calls "the submerged tenth" the
second cliff birds, such as auks. guile
mots, and pufIins. the third Of ocean
birds like petrels and phalaropes, the
fourth of the gull and tern tribes, and
the fifth of the wild duck and goose. 1t
will be seen that the author has COW
cred the ground thoroughly
The style OF the book is not extra
ordinary in any way, but it is clearly
written. and interesting from the nature
OF the Information contained in it. Mr..
Job has found out good many things
about waterfowl, which most bird stu
dents do not know, and has told of
them in a way which is quite as at
tTactive as q verbal recital would be.

Middle Ages. when mountain peoples, an

SNUG merchants OF the plains. dwelt in
their Businesses with their own tradi-
tions, or whether 1t is an inheritance
from yet more remote ages, no one can
say now: but certain 1t is the quality
is there. 1t is in some ways more ORR
entail or Romany- like than European.
Those who undertake to read Jokaj
are likely at almost any moment to
find their imaginations stepped in tor
ture and blood, for the rack and the
headsman are common features in his
wild romances. The hero of the present
tales is an adventurer who had, as has
been explained, a most surprising ar
ray OF crimes to answer for. He had
also a different name aud a different
religion for every country in which he
had lived. 1t is wonder that he did
rot also claim to be a native of each
Of these lands.
This is the dilemma in which the
court found itself after the recital OF
the prisoners crimes:
''The prisoner on the rack laughed
heartily; but this time no one laughed
with him. The executioner had mis-
taken the chiefs wink for signal to
turn the wheel. which he did. and the
sound which came from the victims
throat was a strange mixture of mer
rimeLt and agony-as If he were being
tickled and strangled at the same mo-
ment.
What the chiefs dictation was really
intended to signify was that the pro-
ceed !rgs were concluded for the day;
that the accused should be released
from the rack and taken to his dungeon.
1T was most unusual case-unique
in the annals of the criminal court
Never before had a prisoner acknowl-
edged himself guilty of, or been ac-
oessory to. so many crimes. 1t was the
first time such combination of mis-
demeanors had come before the tri-

tunal. The accused would certainly have
&c be tried without mercy; nc extenu
Gting circumstances would be allowed
to interfere with justice.
THE prince was extremely interested
in the case. He was curious to learn
the conference between the individual
transgressions, in what manner one led
to the other, and gave orders that the
trial should not be resumed the next
day until he should arrive in court.
''The prisoner had cause for laugh
ter. Before the confession reached it's
conclusion, before he could relate the
history of his one and twenty crimes. the
Frenchmen would capture Coblentz and
rescue him from Imprisonment and
death
But one may laugh too soon,
What was to be done with this fell
low?
That the death penalty was his just
desert was unquestionable, but in what
manner should it be imposed? Had
he confessed only~th crime for which
he was now under arrest-treason-th
matter might be settled easily enough;
he would be shot in the back But with
so many transgressions to complicate
the matter it was going to be difficult
exceedingly to pronounce judgment.
For instance, the wheel is the pun
ishment Cor robbery; the polygamist
must be divided into as many portions
as he has wives; the regicide must be
torn asunder by four horses. But how
are you going to carry out the last pen
atty If the accused has already been
carved into six portions?"
This Is an example of the mingled
horror and grim humor of the book But
there are passages which are really
idyllic In charm. the description of the
hero's life with Madus. the daughter of
the robber captain. for example. The
whole thing is quite as remarkable for
its flavor as that Magyar soup which is
eaten with black bread. and is said to
be made chiefly of red pepper. (A;ron:

A South American Enisnde-

a South American revolution. but there
is nothing very South American about
either the names. the characters or the
conversation. The story deals with one
particular episode of tin-pot revolt
in some place called Marainz with a
president called Waller. and the heroine
is a young lady connected with the pal
ace. by the name OF Wanda Rome. The
plot is fairly well constructed the story
told in an interesting way, and every
character is real. If not realistic. That
is, the people take hold Of ones imagi-

While the dangers from this source may
easily be exaggerated, as the radical

nevertheless a question which neither

A Detective Story.

"Miser Hoadley's Secret" by A. W.
Marchmont. is story of the exciting
and lively sort which this author usu-
ally produces. The plot hinges upon
the discovery of the treasure OF an old
miser by means of an ingeniously con-
structed typewriter. The heroine,
daughter and heiress of the miser, Is
by all odds the most important person
in the book and the number of perils
through which this daring young woman
passes is simply surprising. Her cour-
age is only equaled by her rashness,
for It certainly seems as IL some OF her
worst scrapes could have been avoid
ed by a little common sense. How
ever. the ingenuity of the plot is great,
and the movement of the story brisk
and that is enough for a tale of this

The book is in three parts. the first
dealing with the motives and methods

forms of colonial government, as spheres
of influence, protectorates. and fedora

There is nothing in the development
of nations more mixed than popular
