RUBAIYAT OF OMAR. KHAYYAM, JR:
The "Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, Jr., :"
BY Wallace Irwin, so cents. San Fran
cisco. Elder & Shepherd.
The "Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, Jr., :"
by Wallace Irwin is nothing less than
very cleverly written parody on the orig
inal Omar. And a very precious morsel
it is to those critics Of the real Omar VINO
positively refused to accept his verse as
the labor of genius. They hold Of Omar
as Socrates held of poets in general when
he said, "but Oh! I have questioned them
they were unable to tell me-" To these
critics of the Persian poet Mr.. Irwin s
book will be received with delight.
No ordinary mind could have performed
the task which Mr.. Irwin has in his very
funny book which scintillates from be-
ginning to end with wit Of the very first
class.

The Mystery of Murray Davenport A
Story Of New York at the Present Day:
By Robert Nelson Stephens. Illustrated
by H. G.. Edwards. Boston: L. c. Page
The scene is New York The hero a
disappointed man. He has talent and in
dustry but fortune has frowned upon
him. Mr.. Stephens is particular to seek
verisimilitude in careful descriptions OF
familiar neighborhoods. He aims to re-
produce the hustle and excitement of
New York, its architecture. its manners,
its customs. The well-appointed fat, the
Bohemian cafe, the chophouse, the water
side neighborhood are all recognizable.
The personages are generally common
place enough to seem perfectly natural.
The mystery seems to be something
new in mysteries: and if we are willing
to accept it for what it is worth we GER
tainly will not quarrel with the manner
Of it's presentment. Everything is like

THE ARCHERY OF SAHARA.
The Archery of Sanara, BY Henry lilo
VIII. $3.50. Philadelphia: Henry T..
Coates & Co.
Mr. niowizi we'll remembers the terrible
treatment of the Poles during their last
revolt and says he has been an eyewit-
ness of most of the incidents narrated in
his romance. He writes with the bitter
ness that comes of suffering: 1.-THE Tar
| tar enthroned in st. Petersburg is the
dragon that holds the half Of two CONT
nents between his terrific iron jaws, ready
to crush him who dares to put straw in
his way. Darkest Russia is not
limited to the confines Of the pale; it COW
ers an empire where the sun never sets,
peopled by 1870 000, 900 of beings who be-
long soul and body to the car. 1t is an
unwieldy mass of heterogeneous humanity
in various stages of degradation. at least
forty kinds of religionists hating each
other and all hating the police and the
army
These sentiments form the undercurrent
of the book and are in strange cOntradic-
ton to what has been written of late re-
garding Russia and the policies of reform
adopted. They are in keeping, however,
with the latest newspaper accounts of the
persecution of the Jews, which cannot be
surpassed in barbarity. The book is a
timely contribution to current literature.

the eye. every shake Of the little tail
forms an epoch in the history Of the

Strange to say. the mother of the
newcomer is the least interested in its
welfare. only at times does she con-
descend to give it her attention, and
then she appears to regard it as more
OF plaything than anything else She
is an altogether frivolous young crea-
sure. and bats the little monkey around
in gleerul fashion. That this sort OF
treatment is not relished by the baby is
evident in 2 series of squeaks and plain

pressions of disapDroval over being
taken for a football or bean bag.
The mothers friends and neighbors
have protested in their Characteristic
way at her treatment of the baby, but
her frivolous nature does not seem to
grasp the meaning Of the objection to

take the young monkey seriously. 1t has
been decided by the keepers at the Zoo,
