THE NATURAL HISTORY OF THE
 CHILD"
 By Dr. Courtenay Dunn; the John Lane
 Company, publishers, New York city.
 Now and then it happens that a book Is produced utterly unlike all other books, book with an individuality of it's own and with a charm in its originality of method quite apart from that of it's matter. Such a book is that which pr. Courtenay Dunn has written round the child.
 The main characteristic of this very informing volume lies in the fact that, as the author says in his foreword, "the greater part has been grubbed up from ancient and scarce books, obscure pamphlets and papers," It is indeed quotations dealing with the child and his history from many points of view. The chapters dealing with his school days and his schooling, with his play and his religion, his naughtine5S and his afflictions, are full of the most curious information. The way iT-which children were treated and brought up in bygone days gives cause for much comment and comparison. All lovers of children will find much to delight then in this book.
 .IOHN ARCHIBALD CAMPBELL (Assocate justice of the United States
 supreme court, 1S5J-6L) By Henry G- Connor. LID. Houghton-Miffln Com pany, publishers, No. Park Row, Bos- ton.
 Judge Campbell, one of tho most dis tinguished southern jurists of the last century. was born in Georgia In 1911 ana died in 1889.
 In 1853 President Pierce appointed nim a justice of the supreme court of the United States, but he followed his state out of the Union in 1861, although he was personally opposed to secession. In the carly part of 1861 he came into close reia- tions with Secretary Seward in the nego- tiations over Fort Sumter, and towarus the close of the war he was one Of the three Confederate commissioners sent to the Hampton Roads conference to meet Lincoln and Seward. In 1865 ne me" President Lincoln in an effort to promote some plan for the early restoration ol neace conditions. He had an important mart. as advocate or as judge, in several prominent legal cases, among them tne Dred Scott case, the trial of Genera' Ouirntan and others for filibustering, ana the prosecutions growing out or an a'' tempt to revive the slave trade
 The simplest record of such n1e Wouh necessarily be full of human and his- toricaI interest, and the author or tnls book has written with the warmest sym. nathv and admiration, and with intimate knowledge.

In the course of his duties he has very keenly sized 'up'' the varieties of temperA- ment which exist side by side In an average English officers mess, and he touches them off with light humer which, while 1t is shrowdly eritieai at heart is never unkindly or uneeuth, the felicity of the original with easy skill. and those who do not already know the book in French will lose nothing of its cream in English ferr1iA

ION THE TRAIL OF THE PIONEERS
 By John r Farfa Georna H nnran

PuUI1o11efs, 5, INFW OTk Clty.
 "On the Tr" of the Pioneers" is a record of tN0 great movements of popu- lation fror' iie east to the country west of the AeShenies, the routes which the emlgr11ts took, and the sections to which they went. Dr. Paris, author of many volumes of historical significance, is thoroughly conversant with his subject and tells geographically of the struggles of the pioneers moving to the west through the Cumberland Gap, floating down the Ohio and tho Mississippi, by way of the Oregon traii or the Santa Fe trail, facing famine and fighting Indians

 IRELAND AN OF THE ALL1EsY' By R. c. Escouflaire F.. P. Dutton
 and Company, publishers, New York
 City.
 An Illuminating work on the meaning of Irish propaganda and the Sim Fein agitation.
 M. Escouflaire is a Frenchman who for years had taken the Irish anti British propaganda as genuine. When in consequence of the war he became personally acquainted with the British. he was unable to reconcile their be- havior and their ideals with what he had heard about them through the Irish He therefore made an independent study of the Irish question, entering upon it with perfectly unprejudiced mind. and the result of his discoveries is that he feels himself able to pronounce the Irish question "an international imposture. /" The reasons which led him to this ver- dict are to be found in this book
 The Spectator says of it.
 M. Escouflaire is one of the few for eigners who have taken the trouble to study the Irish question: instead of ac- cepting at their face value the theatrical assertions of nationalists and Sim Fein- CTS. His well-informed little book deserves to be widely read"

VERA CRUZ WORTH VISITING
Mexican City Has a Number of At
fractions That Invite the
Wandering Tourist.

Vera Cruz is a city of contrasts. Its
wildly painted houses of red, blue and
yellow. built close to the narrow
streets, have grated windows and
heavy, forbidding doors. which give
little evidence of the charming inte-
rlors with their patios, palm-shsded,
filed with exotic flowers and cooled
by fountains.
Modern street cars look out Of place
in the same streets with burros laden
with merchandise, fruits and vege-
tables. and caballeros in their broad
sombreros, wildly colored blankets,
enormous spurs and silver-mounted
saddles. Even the tropical climate is
in sharp contrast with the snew-
capped, extinct volcano, Orizaba, which
towers almost 10000 feet into the cold
air above. Although this peak is near
ly fifty miles away from the city, it
can he plainly seen from there and
makes a beautiful picture standing
white against the sky or catching all
the colors of the sunrise.
Another point of interest is the an
cient fortress of San Juan dUlloa,
which is built on an island, connected
to the mainland at the northern end
by a long sea wall. 1t has fair eX-
terror, being painted a pure and radi-
ant white, but hidden beneath this in
