goes very thoroughly into guard duty and
winds up with practical instructions about
rife firing. The directions are put in clear
language and every member Of the National
Guard can profit by them.
Various general papers by Mr.. Frank T.
Bullen are included in Our Heritage the
Sea" (E. P. Dutton and Company. He
talks Of winds, clouds, currents, tides,
fisheries, and of the ocean as a health re-
sort. In the more special papers on the
ocean as a highway Of commerce., as a
battlefield, and on it's Importance to Great
Britain, the British point of view is very
marked and he drifts into insular politics.
Another statement Of the condition Of
The Negro in the South George W.
Jacobs and Company, Philadelphia) is
called out by the demands OF a lecture
course at the University OF Pennsylvania.
No lecturers could have greater authority
on the question than Booker T. Washington
and DR.. w. E.. Burghardt Dubois. They
have little to say that they have not said
already, but II is put clearly and moderately
and will receive the attention Il deserves.
The story OF Alexander w. Mackay's
work in Uganda is one OF the finest tales
OF missionary endeavor and should have
been told directly and nationally. In
'Uganda's White Man OF Work by Sophia
Lyons FANS young Peoples Missionary
Movement, New York;, we regret to find
the most unpleasant Characterization of
the older form Of missionary narratives.
There is excess Of sentimentality, con-
fusion OF material facts, and the general
impression that Mackay's work was a
failure, which Is not the opinion OF the lay
men who followed him in Uganda.
A great deal of valuable information
is condensed in "The Bond Buyers Die
tionary' by s. A. Nelson Is. A. Nelson and
Company, New York;. The summaries OF
laws OF the several States are particularly
useful. The process Of boiling down the
contents Of authoritative books gives queer
results at times. and some statements at
the beginning OF the book are rather start
ling. 1t does not follow that because an
author has a European reputation as a polit-
ioal economist he always knows what he Is
talking about. The greater part Of the little
book deals with the United States, however,
and there the information may be trusted.
In Bait Angling for Common Fishes"
CThe Outing Publishing Company Mr..
Louis Rhesd drops the pencil for the hook,
He describes the fish the ordinary man
has to deal with. cod and perch and smelt
and the like, at which the expert anglers
sniff. but he has a little to say also about fish
that give sport. Mr.. Rhead is after Ash.
and his remarks about putting worms on
the hook and a good many other incidental
comments will cause pain to sentimental
naturalists.
No more beautiful typographical product
could be wished for than the essay on sTrade
and Trade Centers Of History by Mr.. W.
Hamilton Benham, which the De Winnie
Press has prepared for MIR. Henry c. Swords.
The author makes a rapid survey OF history
from the point OF view Of trade and fixes
the critical periods accurately. A more
frequent use Of dates might have made his
story clearer, and he might have been as
sisted, perhaps, by the guidance OF modern
Of commerce. As il is. however.
his essay seems TO serve adequately the pur-
pose for which il was written, Interesting
portraits and maps illustrate the book.
