Moro From Toby. ". r.

In two previous volumes Sir lIENRr
I.vcY hns jottcd down his recollections
of mon and measures during his lonS
career as - parliamentary reporter. for
during generation or more lie was
not merely the "Tohy. NJ. T." OF Punch
but the serious annalist OF other
periodicals. His Nearing Jordan seems
n somewhat premature leave taking.
for the extracts from his diaries are
chiefly from the '90s OF the past
century and he has still many years Of
experiences to draw from. The key
note Is still the death of some well
known person. which sets the author
deiving for memories and lively anec-
dotes that go back many years. In
this volume he has a good deal to say
ot the Irish movemen,s/and also. out
side Of the field OF politics. Of the men
he worked with on Punch. His stories
may have to be taken with grain OF
salt, but they are always lively and to
the point and his "reminiscences are
thoroughly enjoyable. tE. p. Dutton

Swiss Army System.

Among the many nostrums offered
to remedy the lack of preparedness
from which we suffer the favorite
seems to be the adoption OF the Swiss
military system. which JrLIAS GRANDE
describes In 4 Citi-cns Army tRobert
NJ. Mcbride & Co, New York;. The
chief reason for this seems tn be that
Switzerland Is a federal republic and
thus free from the prejudice against
tine effective armies that have been
tested in this war. The Swiss system,
fully described by the author. however
admirable. has never been put to the
proof. Swiss military fame rests
partly on the exploits OF the noun
taineers against their Hapsburg OPP
pressors in the Middle Ages. to which
both the author and the military cX-
pert who writes the introduction al
lude. and partly to the excellent scrv-
ices of the Swiss professional soldiers,
who hired themselves out as mercen-
aries for centuries to any one who
would employ them. They fought for
Louis XVI. and King Bomha and sur
v!ve in the Papal Guard. The author
passes them over. What the "citi
zen's army" could do against modern
German or French troops has not been
tried, fortunately.

4 Bear EpIc.

Mere humans may well feel humb.ed
before the heroic bear OF whom JAMES
OLIVER CURwoop tells in The Gri-.iy
King, Just as the hunter did who mo:
him face TO face on narrow trail.
The author describes the life OF his
biz grizzly in tho valleys OF tn" Cana
dian Rockies, untrodden before by
man. in which he ruled supreme. lie
tells how he kills caribou and lesser
animals. how he procures other food
how ne makes love and especially how
he matches his wits against those Of
the men who hunt him. He gives
much information about bears. often
opposed to generally accepted notions.
through tho medium OF humorous
guide who uses dialect. He relieves
the savageness OF the narrative with
;he adventures Of lovable little black
bear cub who makes friends with the
gr!zs.y and The hunters also. 1t IS n
brilliant book OF its kind. far superior
To the ordinary ari;nal ep!cs In spite
OF touch &C scntimen.al!ty. The

The Mexican War.

Amid the excitement and the vast
amount Of misinformation attending
the transfer Of the militia TO the McSi-
can border. FARSHAM BISHOP has rem
dered a service to the public in writing
a popular and readable account OF
oar First War rith McricO (Charlcs
Scr!bner's Sons), in which he cmbodies
the results of critical research and
does not hesitate to SKATER ancient
idols. The more interesting portions
we have found to be the sketch OF the
carly history. ending with the settle
mept and annexation of Texas. and the
explanations OF the ways In which
the Mexican troubles affected parts
politics. In this story President James
X. Polk stands out as good deal OF a
man and his administration as a turn
ing point, in accordance with tho
opinion Of the more recent historians.
The judgments on military command
ers and operations are those OF The
nineteenth century and not of con-
temporaries. tits a sensible and fairly
impartial account Of the war and its
results, stripped Of all buncombe,

A Socialists Memories.

Having attained his threescorc years
and ten, EDWARD CARPENTER. the
aesthetic socialist. writes the story Of
his mental development in My Days
and Dreams The story Of his family
and university life Is colored by tho
ideas which he adopted later; but he
seems to derive satisfaction from tell
ing about his former associates who
attained prominence in various paths
of life. He looks back with some con-
tempt to his Cambridge career, where
he was a Fellow of his college and a
clergyman. and dates his emancipation
from reading Walt Whitman. His ac-
count of his first American trip is
amusing, At Harvard he liked Renja
min Pierce, but did not think much OF
Oliver Wendell Holmes. "a good ma
lurcd little spiteful creature. with
shovel underlip and bright gray blue
eyes under low brow. a dappcr active

OF his writings, MI up the greater part
Of tho book. He bought small farm
and dabbled In various forms Of manual
labor while writing hts books. lie Is

Dutch Influence on English Speech
and Literature.

Tho English language comes natu-
rally enough into it's unQuestioned posi-
tion OF the nearest achieved approach
to universally as a medium of conf
munication. Its structure accounts for
the case with which it has assimilatcd
borrowed words. Tho various ele-
ments OF its composition have been
thoroughly examined and exploited by
philolog.sts. but OF them all none per-
laps Is less understood and appre-
ciated by the ordinary user Of the Ian
guage than the Dutch contribution.
II Is therefore promising theme to
which T.. DE VRIEs addresses himself in
Hollands influence on English Lam
Dudge and Literature Whicago: g..

much more satisfactory on the philo-
logical than on the literary historical
side OF his subject.
English and Dutch are more closely
the resemblance Is much less marked
now than it was. say, in Chaucer :
time. for In the succeeding centuries
We have been appropriating extern
sively the linguistic property Of other
lands Probably the adoption of
French words is the principal factor in
the increased divergence. DE Hooa
gives long list Of words so much alike
in the two languages as "anchor" and
"anker." beard" and "baard." "brothcr'
and 'broeder."' deaf" and "doof.
"ha!H and "haar." "hunger' and hon.

and "ploeg." "rich" and "rijk.' soup
and "soep." "wash" and "wasschen.
world" and "wereld."
Holland has borrowed from Eng.
land, too; but Dutch words have beer
longer on English tongues than Eng.
lisk words on Dutch. England's "glo
rious time" was later than that OF the
Netherlands. When men like Eras
