throughout is William N. Armstrong's Around the World With King The
 king in question was King Kalakua, the same whose visit to New Haven more | than score of years ago, and his re-
 ception and entertainment here by Con-
 gressman N D. Sperry was one of the
 most notable public events of the year. Crowds saw the king as he held an in- formal reception from the portico of MT.
 Sperry's residence. He was man of dignified and commanding presence, and of pleasing, agreeable manners. MT Armstrong, who tells of the kings great globe travelling expedition was a member of the kings cabinet, serving as minister of state. The kings cham | berlain, Col c. H. Judd, was also of the party. The narration of the expedition l is lively and entertaining Take, for i instance, this account of how the king gave his suite the slip, and stole away I and paid a visit to the emperor of Ja- l pan, to propose for the hand of the mikados daughter. MT. Armstrong 1 says:
 Tn the curious recesses of his Poly nesian brain the king had contrived a scheme of matrimonial alliance between | the thrones of japan and Hawaii. The had a vague fear that the United States might in the near future absorb his kingdom. He therefore proposed mar riage between one of the imperial princes of Japan and Princess Kaiulani, his neice, and heir to the throne, which would naturally enlist the Japanese government against any annexation schemes of the United States. Knowing l that his suite would vigorously oppose his plan as utterly impracticable, he chose to take the affair into his own
 hands. The emperor received his sug- gestion with excellent humor and po- 1 liteness but declared that. it required much reflection, and would be a startl- ing departure from Japanese traditions. Soon after we reached home the impe- rial chamberlain of the emperor ap- peared in Hawaii on a secret mission, bearing a letter from the emperor re- spectfully declining the proposition for matrimonial alliance. Aside from so- cial reasons, the emperor, with his ad- visers, would not aid in any scheme which impaired the sphere of American influence over Hawaii This incident did not ill the least disturb our pleasant relations with the Japanese court, but it made the suite more watchful against escapades of the crowned head it was steering around the world Had the scheme been accepted by the emperor, it would have tended to make Hawaii la Japanese colony, movement dstaste- full to all of the great powers"
 The kingdom the excursion party rep- resented was tiny, but they were enti- tied to royal ceremonies by the usages of nations, and they received them ev- anywhere. They visited Japan, China Egypt, Siam, India, Italy, England Germany France, Spain, Portugal and the United States.

It is promised that one of the attrac- tive qualities of the Foolish Dictionary. a seventy-five cent volume which the Robinson-Luce Company, of Boston, will issue early in March, is the great variety in the style of huinor. While some mysterious person, who has taken the very appropriate pseudonyrn of Cid con Wurdz, has written a great mant of the funny definitions. he has also acted as editor in compiling the special contributions of other humorists to this work. Each humorist has written his definitions in his own peculiar style. Some are epigrammatical, some just plain foolish, some discover odd deri- vations and explain them with mock dictionary seriousness, and some act on the theory that brevity is the soul of wis.

A jolly yarn that it will pay to read is The Admirable Tinkec,'' the book by Edgar Jepson, that Mcclure, Phil Fps and Company have just published.
 The Admirable Tinker is youthful hero somewhat of the stamp of Huckle- berry Finn and Tom Sawyer His ad ventures, of which he has many, are of the most fantastic nature, and very much up to date. To aid him in his es- capades he makes use CT anything that happens at hand, from an automobile to flying machine. He is a. most gen. tlemanly little youngster, the son Of a nobleman of reduced fortunes and tel |dency toward gaming. Tinker aims to restore the family fortunes, which he succeeds admirably in doing. He staits in life under most unfavorable sur roundings, his mother dying soon after his birth and his whereabouts being concealed from his father, who wildly seeks in vain for a trace of him. More than that, he is consigned to the care of drunken couple, who nearly suc- |ceed in starving and beating the life out of him before his father, learning of his whereabouts from q faithful nurse, rescues him, and by great care succeeds in not only raising him, but, thanks to the lads sturdy constitution, developing him into something of an athlete. MT. Jepson has succeeded in creating very interesting character out of the young ster thus rescued. True, he is a young scapegrace. but his escapades are hu- morous and nnirthful and are told with unfailing sprightliness. The Admirable Tinker's name is Hildebrand Anne BeauIeigh, and with this weighty cog nomen he sallies forth to cut up all sorts of didoes that are highly divert ing. The authors fancy runs riot with his character. Be it understood that the Tinker Is not rascal, but good hearted, happy -go-lucky boy, whose book learning is but skin deep, but whose knowledge of the world is keen.

 "Brevities." being more crankisms, by Leslie De Vaux Matthewman. pictured by Claire Victor Dwiggins, with 100 + lustrations, published by Henry T. Coates & Co. 'Brevities" comprises the latest work of the lamented Lisle De Vaux Matthewman, whose untimely death from typhoid fever recently oc- cured at St. Lukes hospital, New York, which adds melancholy interest to this little book. The collaboration of MT. Matthewman and Mir. Dwiggins III "Crankisms, published year or more ago, attracted much attention and met with instant success, both from the del- icacy, grace and humor of the illustra- tions as well as from the keen, biting sarcasm of the text.
