Clurg & Co, Chicago.
This is story Of primitive simplicity
in the days Of King John Of England,
in the Thirteenth century. 1t has a
historical groundwork in the signing by
the King of the Magma Charta. although
he did this under compulsion and kept
not his word and never meant to keep
it. The whole Of England had to en-
dure struggle and contest of contendlng
interests for many years thereafter; but
Magma Charta was written firm aud
sure, and gradually IL came 10 be not

to the barons. but also with respect TO
the common people. The best charac-
ters in this story are for the most part
tho simple folk and children, although
the dog Shag and the cat Witchkin
arc made to play important parts.
There is sighting in tho book, as there
was in England pretty constantly in
those days. The little swincherd. Os-
bert, the singer, has important func-
tions therein, and the foreign invader

Tt takes nearly three pages TO schedule
the illustrations, and from the title
and the chapter captions one gets a
very good idea of the purpose. the
scope of the accomplishment of the
work, Probably the most admirable
feature of lake navigation is the
great government improvement at ''the
Soo,' the canal which gives access
and outlet to Lake Superior, and which
does more business than my other
canal in the world; the Suez canal
is mere baby compared to ii.
The subject Of the navigation of the
Great Lakes is one of the highest inter,
est, and the practical value of that
and transportation is so
tremendous that one hardly can grasp
the significance of the figures that tell
it. We know Of no work IN connection
with that great subject that in any
way approaches the fullness, the com"
and the picturesqueness
Of information given in this work. The
author deserves well of the American
public for his work IN putting it forth.
1t is book that ought to be a stand

| Through Five Administrations. Rcmin-
isccnccs of Colonel William II, Crook,
| piled and Edited by Margarita Spald-
Brothers. Publishers, New York.
1t seems that Colonel Crook left a
dinry, which has been worked over
and carefully compiled and edited by
tho author Of that striking little book
let, The Toy Shop The book has
from photographs, and bears every
mark of authenticity, Colonel Crook
writes from the standpoint of tho re-
taincr as well AS from the standpoint
of a patriot, He began with personal
service to Lincoln, and gives many
minute details of Lincoln 3 life at tho
White House, tells about the visitors
President Is Office, and relates many
stories not heretofore published. There
was no change in the labors Of Colonel
Crook when Johnson came in, and he
held right along through Grants two
administrations. When Hayes came
to the White House, about the first
thing he did WAS to tell Colonel Crook
he had been doing. And so during the
short Garfield administration, also.
1t is interesting to one who recalls
those times TO read this narrative OF
the White House families and those
who were guests and visitors there
during the days of the war. The book
gives vivid description of the difi'
culties that President Lincoln met
with IN going to Richmond after 1T had
been captured, and tells Of the assassi-
nation, with new details Andrew
Johnson was good deal Of shock
when he succeeded TO the Presidency,
and his trouble with what he calls the
Radicals was shared in. from his own
standpoint. by the White House at
taches. 1t seems that they were
frightened almost into fits bv the i'm"
peachment, and after impeachment
there settled upon them sort of
fatalistic lcthargy that paralyzcd the
remainder of the administration. Then
when Grant camc in their self respect
and alertness were restored, and while
the people Of the household did not
love Graut as they had loved Lincoln,
still they respected and houorcd him.
The family life of the Grants is we'll
narrated, and there is also new
story Of the political dissensions which
arose in Grant s second term. The
coming of Hayes to the White House
is graphically told, and the social life
during his administration is narrated
with reservations. Mrs. Hayes is given
very high cncomium, and tho admins
tration was noteworthy for its rather
narrow respectability. With the com.
ing of Garfield things looscncd up, and
under Arthur the gentility, what there
is OF 1T In the country, came TO the
front.
Tt is a gossipy book, most interest
ing to read, and will afford valuable
material for the use Of the future his
torlan.

SPEAKING, SELF CONFIDENCE.

How to Develop Self Confidence in Speech
ana Manner BY Cirenvilc Klniscr
Published by Funk e. Wagnalls Com
pany, New York.
The anthor of this book was formerly
instructor iu public speaking at Yale
Divinity School, and is tho author of
some well approved books in the same
Inc as this one. He announces as his
purpose IN this work the intent to in
spire IN men lofty ideals; and il is de-
signed particularly for Hthoso who
daily defraud themselves because of
doubt, fear thought and foolish timid-
ity.' Accordingly he addresses himself
particularly to the matter of prcpara-
ton and the building mp of the will.
Next comes tho cure of self-conscious
ness. and then tho power of right
thinking, and concentration. The work
is an excellent one, practical all
through, and is devoted to the actual
matter and manner of public speaking.
He advises NIL to cultivate good ply
slcal basis, cure the worry habit, to
look for success, to win it and thereby
To get confidence and the feeling that
he must succeed, and is able to do what
he sets out to do. The keynote of the
whole instruction is that one should
get out of shyness, should cease to caro-
what others think OF him, and should
devote his. whole aim, mind, and pur-
pose TO the matter in hand, shaking off
everything else as cxtraneous. There
can be no doubt of the practical value
or this sort of instruction.

In his preface the author says:
" "Ninety;nine men in one hundred can
argue, to one who can argue and WIN
But the whole purpose of arguing or
of polemics OF mental contest is to win.
To come Just short of winning is to fail.
Therefore one should prime himself,
prepare himself, and set himself in dead
earnest TO win. In this book. as the
author says, will be found definite sug-
gcstions for training the mind in ac.

clear and effective statement. The in
struction in the book is the outcome Of
many years OF experience in teaching
men to "think on their feet The
methods employed to reach this aim are
practical. The author ad-
dresses himself to mankind at large,
urging reliance upon truth and facts:
clearness and concisencss of speech, the
right use Of words, and it has special
chapters for the lawyer, the business
man. the preacher. the salesman, and the
public speaker. 1t is all right well done,
in tho best practical vein.
