Little, B. por. 16° $1; pap., 50 c. 66 One must look a good way to find a book pertaining to the modern stage so thoroughly entertaining and instructive. The personality, the wit, and the sagacity of a charming woman and a successful artist are in these pleasant chats, which have naturalness of thought and expression as their unvarying characteristic. Mrs. Kendal does not attempt to give her readers set essays; she talks with them as she would talk in her own drawing-room to a group of friends, and all the digressions, the remarks in parentheses, the easy, rambling reflections, one feels to have been inspired by eager questions on the part of delighted listeners. The opinions, it will readily be imagined, are not confined solely to the art of acting. Mrs. Kendal outlines briefly but vividly her own dramatic career, has something to say of contemporary plays and play-goers, undertakes to show wherein lie the secrets of an actor's popu larity, dwells particularly on the importance of the sympathetic quality in actor and audience, discusses the mooted question whether or no an actor ought really to experience the emotions he depicts, considers the stage as an honorable and profitable career for women, and criticises, boldly but temperately, the movement for the prohibition of child acting. To each and all of these topics Mrs. Kendal brings earnest thought and a helpful purpose."-Boston Beacon. MAGAZINE ARTICLES. Characteristics of the Am. Drama. Hennequin. Arena. Andrea del Verrocchio.

As a repertory of quaint humor, keen satire, and delicate irony it possesses decided merit. We cannot open this entertaining volume at any page without finding matter to instruct, or at least to invite reflection. The aphorisms on the gastronomic art, original or gathered from the highest authorities on the subject, are thoroughly sound. The observations on the chemistry of cooking and methods of preparing meats, and particularly the chapter on Relish and seasoning,' which cannot be read too care fully, are replete with wisdom, and offer an eminently safe guide to the aspiring gourmet. We cannot more fitly close our notice of this volume than by quoting the following passage, which embodies the whole philosophy of gastronomy: 'Delicate eating and delicate drinking are not questions of many kinds of wines, multitudes of dishes, or great state of serving men, but rather of fineness of the quality of all that is offered, simplicity and daintiness in its preparation, rapidity and convenience in the serving of it, and appreciativeness on the part of the guests."-N..

ALDRICH, ANNE REEVE. The feet of love. Worthington. il. and por. 12° (Worthington's international lib., no. 9.) $1.25; pap., 75 c. Gilead, a Long Island seaside summer resort, is the scene. The leading characters are a handsome young clergyman of the Protestant Episcopal Church, who is courting an heiress, and a fair young girl, who is companion to the heiress. Between the companion and the clergyman there has been acquaintance in former days. The characters are careful studies, and the conditions surrounding them are artistically worked up, leading naturally to the dramatic ending. An episode is introduced of a French priest and his crippled nephew that is very tenderly dealt with. The author wrote a volume of poems called "The rose of flame." BOISGILBERT, EDMUND, M.D., (pseud.) Cæsar's column: a story of the twentieth century. Schulte. 8° $1.25. The events described take place in New York City, in the year 1988, the city containing at that time ten million inhabitants. The author paints a future full of terror. He seeks to show that civilization or human knowledge has been attended with a corresponding growth in human pride and in selfishness-that the world has grown brilliant, but heartless. The Brotherhood of Destruc tion, an oath-bound revolutionary organization with world-wide ramifications, and with a membership of over a hundred millions of discontented workingmen, plays a prominent part in the story, which culminates in a bloody battle in the streets of New York and the death and burial of civilization.

The opening chapters show to what an extent the Jews had fallen away from the old faith, and were endeavoring to disown their an cestry by assuming Greek dress, Greek manners, and even Greek names. Then follows a stirring account of the persecution of the faithful under Antiochus and of the rise of the Maccabees, with the aged Mattathias at their head.

STOCKTON, FRANK R. The great war syndicate. Dodd, M. 12° $1; pap., 50 c. "The great war syndicate' and the 'Three burglars' are admirable illustrations of the droll humor and inventive faculty of Mr. Stockton. If they are in some respects less laughable than other works of his, they are certainly not less original and entertaining. The conception of 'The great war syndicate' has a sort of contemporaneous interest which adds greatly to its effectiveness. When the antiquarian of a hundred years hence comes upon it, he will probably discern in it a veiled but pointed satire at some of the abuses in the economic world against which there is just now great outcry. The military scientists of the same period will probably interpret it as a subtle piece of prophecy, foreshadowing the time when the very destructiveness of the instruments of war shall make war impossible. Discarding, however, both the satirical and the prophetic element in this capital bit of fun, we may read the story for pure entertainment, and find ourselves beguiled most delightfully by the novel method of conducting a war between this country and Great Britain with very slight destruction of property and the loss of only a single life. The conception underlying the 'Stories of three burglars' is less striking, but hardly less entertaining."-Christian Union. STOCKTON, FRANK R. The stories of the three burglars.

Scribner. $1; pap.. 50 c. Expiation' is an exceedingly spirited, well told, and interesting Southern story, of the transitional period when the able-bodied men were off at the front, and bands or gangs of bushwackers seized the opportunity to practise brigandage at the rear. The author has evidently made a study of the old planter generation and of the house servants' of that time. Her darkys are full of life and humor and individuality. Her bushwackers are extremely grim and realistic, as no doubt the models were-scoundrels capable of any crime or cruelty, given to torture their prisoners to extract information, setting no value upon human life. The hero of the story, young Fairfax, is an original and carefully wrought psychological study; a youth who has learned to suspect his own physical courage, and who, through a misleading coincidence, comes to believe that he has shamefully failed at the great crisis of his life, and at the same time has committed a capital crime. The old planter, Fair's father, for a time believes this too, and it nearly breaks his heart. All this is described with equal delicacy and vividness, and the personality of the pretty and loyal Adele affords a charming foil to the despair and humiliation of the too proud Rutherfords. The whole story is briefly told, but every sentence counts, and it is impressive and absorbing. Mr. Frost's excellent illustrations add much to its attractiveness."—N. Y. Tribune. Pernilla. Erickson.

The versatile author of The Marquis of Peñalto" and ་་ Maximina" in this charming story contrasts the widely different characters of northern and southern Spain. The hero, who narrates his experience with much humor, is a native of Gallicia and a poet. The heroine is a nun, who, owing to unpleasant family relations, has taken temporal vows. She is quite unsuited to the religious vocation-is jealous, passionate, and quick-witted, and also exceedingly pretty.

The The same quaint, fresh humor that characterized "Three men in a boat," is found here. writer's subjects are the hero, the villain, the heroine, the comic man, the adventuress, the comic lovers, the peasants, and other characters of the modern drama. Their unreality and unintentional comicality are admirably and most amusingly described. The pictures are as clear as the text, and as humorous. HYGIENIC AND SANITARY. CHECKLEY, EDWIN.

The method he himself advocates departs radically from familiar systems. It is outlined in a series of chapters entitled "The bugbear of training," "How to carry the body," "How to breathe," "Muscles and what they do," "The joints and their development," "Exercises for muscles and joints," "The treatment of obesity," Training for women," "A word about children." etc. The system is not dependent upon any appliances whatever, and seems natural and sensible.
