Speaking Of London costermonRers,
Mayhem says: 1.-The man who does
not wear bis silk neckerchief-hls
'kingsman.' as II is called-ls known to
be In desperate circumstances" The
neckerchlef ls more priced than any
other item Of his attire and a coster's
caste Ii at stake II his kIngsman be
not of the most approved pattern.
This habit Is derived from the
gypsIes and doubtless dates from
some long forgotten oriental custom.
II IL very curious that a taste for
similar cOlors prevails among the
Hlndoos, gypsies and costermongers.
Red and yellow are the favOrite coIors
and the Oldest. or these, the coster
chooses his plush walstcoat and his
kIngsman. the gypsy his breeches and
his wife her shawl and gown; the
Hlndoo his robe and turban. II a
fight occurs, the favorIte colored ar
ticle of dress receives the greatest
care. The pugIllstlc coster ties his
klngsman round his waist or his leg,
where. by the rule Of the ring, It IL
comparatively safe. - London Teie-

"In the Heights" is the rather preten-
tious title of an unpretentious volume of
poems by Richard Watson Glider. and
contains nearly all that he has written
since the publication, in 1891. of his
Poems and Inscriptions" The title poem
I'm the Heights" and Home Acres" first
appeared in the Atlantic Monthly and the
ode "a Temple of Art" was written for
the dedication of the Albright Art GAL
lery in Buffalo. While a minor strain is
evident in many of the poems, strong
lyric quality marks others, as in "A Call
to the Mountains" 1t is perhaps, enough
to say that the present volume is worthy

Horseshoe fall has receded more tba,

the rate of fully 500 feet century. At
present the crest of this fall, as its name
implies, has the general outline of a horse
snoe, and Its length is about 5000 feet but
OF the present rate of erosion continues
the length of the crest may reach 5000
feet or more within the next half milIen-
mum; NOW the Canadian end of the Horse
shoe fall is a few rods upstream from the
spot whence Table Rock has fallen into
the gorge, but the indications are that this
end of the cataract will gradually retire
toward the Dufferin Islands, leaving a
bare cliff as the apex cuts its way up

Magic Cloak. BY L. Frank Baum au-
thor of THE Wizard of o." Illus
trated by Frederick Richardson. New
York: The Century Company.
Mr.. Baum has been elected by an over
whelming majority the grand master of
fairy lore. 1t was perhaps his performance in
writing the Wizard of Oz' that insured his
elevation to this exalted post. His Juvenile
and adult subjects eagerly acclaim all his
pronouncements. He now presents to the
world Queen zixi." who, although no less
than 6S3 years old, looked to be no more
than sixteen, and King Bud of holland. who
became king by reason of the mystic fact
that he was the forty-seventh person to en-
ter the gates on a certain appointed day.
He also offers a special attraction the
magic cloak. which has extraordinary prop
critics and powers, and in passing from hand
to hand develops some amazing situations.
He Furthermore introduces his genially
wicked friends. the Rolyrogues. who wage
