The incursion OF Mr.. Phillpotts into
the realm Of poetry is welcome chiefly
for his superb and exquisite elevation
Of spirit. His metrical forms are not
novel-he happily avoids the fantasies
Of free verse"-and his verses are not
always smooth or melodious, though
sometimes they truly sing themselves
to the enchanted ear; but the purity
and loftiness Of his thoughts are un-
failing. In "Verdun," an Gallipoli,'
"In Memory Of Goethe" and others he
reaches a height of both sentiment and
expression which few contemporaries
have attained. Obviously, Byron is his
model; and for such work the world
has known none greater.
Mr.. TuckermaR's volume il unusual
if not unique, in containing poems in
both French and English, from an
>
little hybrid in French English. We are
not sure but that the French poems
are more melodious and rhythmical
than the English, but all are instinct
with a straightforward, manly vigor
that is refreshing and Inspiring.
Professor Clarke's beautifully printed
and finely arranged compilation is an
impressive reminder of the extent to

poets Of worth. More than a hundred

have written some Of the most stirring
lyrics Of the war.

and they among its best, are devoted 70

The beginning of this detective story

is the subsequent working out OF the
plot devoid Of ingenuity and interest.
But the masks worn by the various
characters are entirely too obvious.
We may not be able TO see through
them, and thus the mystery may be
well maintained to the end. But II is
not satisfactory to have a lot OF masked

wrote their respective chapters indie

Tales of Mystery

DAY AND NIGHT STORIES. BY Alserncn
Blsekwocd. i2mc. ID. 22s. +. p Dui;on & Co.
Mr. Blackwood is evidently deter
mined to make himself known as the
master of the mystical. Most of his
writings have at least been tinctured
with the bizarre and the supernatural,
and in the present volume he gives
himself quite up 10 that fascinating
style. He does so. too, with more sue
cess than heretofore. because he ex-
erciscs his art in short stories, instead
of a ong-sustained novel. We do not
say that it is impossible to write a
long novel Of supernatural mystery. II
has been done, and il may be done
again. But in the great majority OF
cases such endeavors have failed or
have been unsatisfactory, for one Of
two reasons. Either the mystery has
been carried all through the work, and
the sustaining of it has been too hard
q task for the author or for his read.
ers. or it has been confined to small
part of the work and has not been con-
gruous with the rest. II is in a tale
of moderate length, such as Turge-
nief's visions" Bulwer-Lytton's
"Haunters and the Haunted" and Fitz-
James O'Brien's "What Was IT." and
"The Lost Room" that such flights Of
imagination and invention attain their
most triumphant heights.
We must felicitate Mr.. Blackwood,
therefore, upon his adoption of such
. medium for the exhibition Of his
singular dexterity and charm as a de-
lineator Of fantastic fancies. In these
fifteen tales he has done, on the whole,
the best work which we have yet seen
from his pen. He has not only origi-
nality and ingenuity, but also the rare
gift Of imbuing tales Of the super
Natural with deep human sympathy,

times amusing, sometimes pathetic, al

manners, and emotions of the older
people about him. His behavior and
opinions are undoubtedly to some eX-
tent the direct result of this copying
of his elders. He will repeat the
tricks of speech and n which
they constantly employ.
If a child lives among people whose
language is correct and agreeable,
whose are pleasant, who
show always a Thoughtful considera-
ton for others and whose behavior is
gentle and kindly, he unconsciously
acquires similar ways. The habit of
courtesy comes o alone o chiefly
from direct instruction, but from imi-
tation. If a child see'that his elders
are habitually courteous in their asso-
citation with each other, if kindness
and consideration for each other are
the habits of the home, these qualities
will inevitably stamp themselves upon
the child. Good are an in
valuable asset to every person, but
good have their root and
foundation in fine qualities Of mind
and heart, and only the constant daily
exercise of them will help give the
children that charm of manner which
is such a delight in persons of every
age. The opposite qualities are like
wise initiated and help to produce an
other sort of child.
Clearly, therefore, parents have an
enormous responsibility in molding
and shaping a child into the kind of
he is to be, for these early lessons
in conduct and are probably
never quite eradicated. Men who as
children were accustomed to hearing
lncouth language still lapse in man
hood into this fault, however well
educated they may have become, and
he same is true of physical manner
SINS and even of the mental attitude.
If a child grows up among people who
ire scolding, faultfinding, complain
ng, or quarrelsome, he is almost sure
show a tendency to these qualities,
however much he may learn to abhor
hem in later life.

is YOUR CHILD LEARNING?

Much of a child's earliest education,
often the most valuable and most en-
during part. is that which is uncon-
sciously acquired at home, not by pre-
cept or teaching, but by imitation.
From the earliest beginnings of learn
ing, the child is copying the sights
and sounds about him.
Thus he learns to speak his first
words, and from this time until he
begins his formal education in school,
and indeed through his entire child
hood, he is initiating the language,
