SOME NEW BOOKS.

OF the twenty essays comprised in the
two volumes collectively entitled Studies
Ga TIE History OF Venice, by IlOHArIO r.
BRowN E. P. Dutton 4 CoJ, ten were pub
kshsd ten years ago. but these hive long
been out OF print. and eHch OF thsm has
been here rehsndled and brought ny 10
date. The remaining ten have never APP
peared before in book form. Bishop
Creighton onoe suggested thai it might
be possible to write history or Venice in
a series Of essays. The author has kept
this suggestion in mind, having arranged
the papers before VA in chronological order
30 that they may help one another We
should mention that his subjects arc Sc
lected from every period of Venetian his
tory, from the foundation of RaltO to the
relations maintained between the Republic
and Commonwealth Of England in Crom-
wells time. We have chosen for special
attention the essays on Marno Faiier and
on Shakespeare and Venice"

tonic the law had forbidden the use Of
horses or mules; consequently Dobbin. Old
GObbo's sill horse, would never have been
allowed to jog along the narrow streets OF
the town. Then. again. ShvIOck's house is
more Florentine than Venetian in structure;
his orders TO JessicG are. Chamber not you

the older houses were often fortresses a.
well as dwelling places. the easement may
have had to be clambered up to, but in
Venice the graceful Gothic windows are
low silled. no higher than a mans middle.
and wide and open to admit the breezes
from the sea; so JessicG would have had no
need to Chamber; It would have been enough
for her to lean ont Of the easement in order
to see that Christian passing by who was

it that GrdtidRO and SdleriRo should have
found a penthouse under which to take
their stand in any Venetian street; true

have filled most Venetian alleys from side
to side.
Nevertheless, although such sli ght indica-
tions az these lead TO the conclusion that
Shakespeare never saw Venice, which on,
other grounds may be asserted, Mr.. Brown
deems il impossible to deny the truth OF the
local color which generally pervades the
play. II ia that salient point the Rialto
which gives TO the setting of the drama
the strong Venetian flavor which 1t un-
doubtedly possesses; it is about the kalto
that the poet fancy builds up the Venice
he desires his audience 10 see. we are
made To feel the crowd upon the bridge
and at the foot Of its long fight OF stairs;
we picture Antonio sauntering with his
friends. waiting for news Of his galleys.
and ShvIock creeping by eying and eyed
askance and now and then tormented by
the boys as 'Nsy recognize the yellow
sign Of his Jew sh blood upon his breast
or his cap" In the characters OF the play,
too. the Venetian favor is for the most
part maintained successfully. PortSd is
most thoroughly Venetian. so also are
!ShvIock and Antonio. Indeed. Mr.. Brown
thinks that in many respects the Jew is
not more distinctly Jewish than he is Vene-
tian. For that matter our author suspects
that the average Christian merchants OF
Venice and their jewish rivals were at no
time very different in their methods OF
conducting business.

NEW USE FOE x-RAYS.
They Are Said to Cure Excessive Persplra-
tiOn OF the Hands.

A German physician has used the X-rays
with success in the treatment of perspirinR
hands, a condition which is a source OF great
annoyance to some persons.
According to the Medical Record the fact
that the hands OF ROentgen ray workers
become very dry led him 10 investigate the
effect Of the rays in cases Of this sort. WhiIs
IL has not been found feasible to make use
of the Roentgen rays as a means Of ide-
stroying superfidous hair owing to the facr
that in order TO secure permanent Rtrophy
of the hair follicles too great alteration Of

Mr.. Lang comedies that the King James
III drawn by 1'haokeray in 'Esmond' il
a brilliant wJrk Of art, Is convincing and
leaves the subject with scarcely a shred
of character. II is true that the courage
displayed by young James at Malplaquet
is admitted and the frank loyalty Of his
proclamation Of fidelity to his creed is ap-
plauded; for the rest, however, what Thack-
cray shows us is a wild, witty, heartless
and migrate young profit gate, seldom sober,
and when sober running after every pretty
face, destroying the plans and striving To
ruin the honor OF his most devoted ad-
herents In the novel Col. Henry Esmond
finds the uncrOwned king swearing like
the meanest Of his subjects at tennis or -in

Oglethorpe. He cared writes Thack-
cray. more for three honors than three
kingdoms: and a half dozen glasses Of

Mr. Lang t5stifes that he mas been unable
TO discover what Thackeray's sources Of
authority for these ccnsures could have
been. AZ a matter OF fact we never hear
Of James's profanity, never even Of his
tennis playing. Not one Of the fair ad-
venturous Oglethorpe ladies Is reported to

proved the amendments and then. by the

proceeded to the election Of a Doge. Falier.

the defeat al Sapierka, whereby tho repub-

attic and Venice herself seemed to be at The

verse was due to tha negligence and pusil-

intensify the discontent against the gov
