A Lieutenant Under Washington-By Ev-
erett T. Tomlinson Houghton. Mifain
q Co, publishers. For sale by st. Paul
Book and Stationery company.
Mr. Tomlinson's many admirers will
be glad to renew their acquaintance
with two, of the most attractive char
acters who figured in Under Colonial
Colors" The scene has shifted from
Canada to the middle colonies, during
the campaign that included the battles
of the BrandyWine and Germantown.
The young lieutenant and his faithful
attendant, the old trapper, have many
adventures, due not only to the natural
risks of war, but also to the plots of a
treacherous scamp. The sense of mys-
terry is well maintained Throughout
till the story ends in WaShington's
camp at Valley Forge. Some of the
most striking incidents occur in a large
and almost impenetrable swamp near
MorriStoWn, nest of marvelS which
appeals to every element of supersti-
ton. 1t may be read quite independ-
emily of Mr.. Tomlinson's earlier history.
The Story of Tom and Maage-Edlted by
Frederic Lawrence Knowles. Dana, Els
ties e Co., Boston, publishers For sale

pany.
This is a child study taken from one
of George Eliot's masterpieces. ''The
Mill on the Floss presents one of the
most perfect studies of child life in
English literature. The delightful ad-
ventures of Tom Tulliver and his sister,
Maggie, are told, with few omissions,
from the time when Tom is driven
home from the academy In the gig, to
the proud day when he pays the debt
on his fathers property. Maggie's ex-
periences among the Gypsies, and her
brothers adventures at Kings Lorton,
furnish some of the best chapters In
the book. All the passages of the
novel which would fail to interest a
child are omitted in the story, and the
boy or girl who takes up the book may
for the first time follow the fortunes
of Tom and Maggie without having to
plod through a great deal of unrelated
matter. The story is told as nearly as
possible in the exact language of the
author.
Jewish Encyclopedia, Vol. V.-Funk and
Wagnalls company, publishers.
Volume V. of the Jewish Encyclo-
pedia, just issued, carries out in every
respect the high standard set by the
earlier volumes, and well deserves Sec
rotary Hays statement that it is "of
the utmost interest and Importance. !"
1t extends from ''Dreyfus- Brissac" to
Goat and within that scope contains
1926 signed articles. 1t is especially
rich in articles of Biblican and rab-
binical interest. Especially noteworthy
is that part of the volume which is de-
voted to history. Within It's range it
embraces the history Of "1he Jews of
Europe" from the pen of Or. M Brann,
and THE Jews of Egypt" told by
Prof. w. Max Mueller. AS shown by
preceding volumes, it is the plan of
the encyclopedia to supplement articles
which treat of continents, countries,
states, ETC., by others restricted to
Jewish life in cities and towns. In har.
mony with this plan there have been
included in the present volume articles
on Edinburgh, Eisenstadt (Hungary),
Florence, Frankfort on the Main, Ge-
| neva and Gloucester (England). Each
of these articles has been written by a
specialist or an authority on the his
| tory of the city or town. AS the ground
covered was virgin soil in so far as
| Jewish records were concerned, much
research had to be done before the
mass of material which these articles
contain was classified and prepared fol
publication.
