 It seems rather unusual to read a story written by those two charming novelists, Agnes and Egerton Castle, that has to do with modern problems and theories.
 Indeed +*esf as

 But
 This is what the Castles have chosen to write about in their story, "The Golden Barrier"
 S They have written well about it. as they always do, and the story is undoubtedly an interesting one, bpt the England of to- Hay that they chose as a background for their writing doesn't make the appeal that the England of the time of Charles the Second made, nor yet the old Bath country, where love and romance reigned supreme.
 In "The Golden Barrier the heroine, a very silly, foolish, vain girl, Magdalen tempest, an ne1reSS Wlln more InOHey Dy long odds than brains, marries her agent, a Captain Denvers.
 The genial captain is well born. but , poor, as a church mouse, and the ques- tions that the Castles bring out in their story is the old time one:
 Can marriage even though a love match. be happy if the wife controls tho purse strings?"
 In this case it may easily be answered in the negative. but then all women are not as foolish and as checked full of vanity as the heroine of "The Golden Bar Tier" -H
 Madeen Tempest was so vain that any body who fiattered her could wind her around their finger: she was so taken in by any sort of adulation that anybody who came her way could have her money and enjoy iinging it about with her with an open hand. ~

 This drew about her a mixture of all Sorts and conditions of people and quite unable to realize how this embarrassed and hurt the man to whom she had given her heart and hand, she went boldly on

 In her latest story, "The Lodger," Mrs Lowndes has written of bloody murder from start to finish, and the attention of the reader Is held from the opening of the story until the end without Tagging.
 It is rather gruesome aspect that the book assumes at the very beginning, the central figure committing many murders in London, all of which he signs with a gray paper card bearing the name "Avenger."
 Of course search for the murderer is instituted and he turns out to be 'The Lodger' in the house of poverty strick- en couple in the slums of London
 The real interest in the book centers about the attitude of this old couple toward "The Lodger.'
 Of course the little sum he paid them was their daily bread and meant every thing in the world to them. and when 1t came to turning on him they naturally protected him. at the same time shrinking from turning him over for . reward"

 During the last fortnight four very curious murders have been committed within a comparatively small area. "The first has aroused no special inter- est--even the second had only been award ed, in the paper Bunting was still then taking in, quite a small paragraph. Then has come the third-and with that a wave of keen excitement, for pinned to the victim's dress had been found a three-cornered piece of paper, on which was written, in red ink, and in printed characters the words: The Avenger,' ]" runs the narrative
 The situation set forth in these sen- tenees from the early pages Is that upon which this curious novel depends. But, though it's handspring is crime. it is in no accurate sense detective story. It is told from the point of view of persons who believe they know who the murderer is, but cannot make sure enough to act, and the reader hurries through it's pages in the same breathless suspense in which these people are held.

 H. H. Mundo C'Sil<D. has written in band new story entitled When William Came" a most readable and delightful novel.
 The action of this story takes place after the great invasion, and it need scarcely be said that the study of London under German rule provides Mr. Munro with ample scope for displaying his well known qualities of biting satire and witty comment. The way in which the new order affects various classes of society, and especially the leisured ones. Is worked out with pitiless logic from the premises of their every day doings under the old regime.

Denmark were at peace, the Bri-

Danish fleet in Copenhagen and
destroyed it. The Danes, who
did not think of war, were un-

In 1865 Napoleon III proposed
to Prussia to join her in a war a.

grant him Luxembourg, then as

fused.
In 1882 England suddenly oc-
cupied Egypt, a country forming
a part of the Turkish Empire.
England solemnly promised to e.
vacaate Egypt as soon as order
was restored. In spite of fre-
