Recollections of a Georgia Loyalist. 3 the title, “Recollections of a alist there have been edited A. W. Eaton the memoirs and some of the letters of Elizabeth Lich- tenstein Johnston, who w born in May, near S: annah, Georgia, and who in her childhood saw something of the bat- ties that took place upon the siege of that city during tne war of the Revolution. In describing the situation she says: “In "% the people in Georgia were inflamed against the government of Great Britain and were raising a ragged corps of all sorts. Some had guns with firelocks and some without; and all, gentle and sim- ple. were made to declare whether they were on the side of the King or for the people, whom we Loyalists then termed Torics, called rebels. If a Tory refused to join the people he was imprisoned and tarred and feathered. This was a terri- ble indignity, the poor creature being stripped naked, tarred all over and then rollad in feathers. I might once, if I had gone to the window, have seen a poor man carried all over town with the mob around him in such a plight, but the idea was too dreadful. He was an inoffensive British pilot.” g From that and a few similar anecdotes, told in the introductory chapter it is evident the writer might have given a very interesting account of the Tory side of the Revolutionary War. Unfortunately, Mrs. Johnson was writing for her gran children and not for history, and, more- over, she seems to have taken little in- terest in anything except her children and her religion. The book as a whole contains hardly anything beyond & rec- ord of the birth of her children, their va- rious dispositions, their sickness, thelr o travéls and their marriages, interspersed with plous moralizing for the benefit of the grandchildren for whom the memoir was written. After many wanderings, Mrs. Johnston and her husband settled in Nova Scotia, and there her descend- ents have flourished, many of them be- coming eminent men. The book, there- fore, is more valuable as a contribution to the early history of certain Canadian families than as a memoir of a Georgia Loyalist. (Published by the Bankside M. F. Mansfield & Co., New York.) Fables for the Fair. Among all the output of present day fables those of only two writers seem to be bound otherwhere than toward the waste basket. One of these writers is Josephine Dodge Daskam. Her “Fables for the Fair,” which have COKS THAT ARE WELL WORTH READING. baen appearing from gime to time, scat- tered among various magazines, have been picked up at last and put together between neat and attractive boards. Twenty-five of them appear in the vol- ume. They are almost equally witty in form and penetrating in insight. Miss Daskam has a keen way of looking at human nature and a remarkable sense of humor for any one, to say nothing of her beinz a woman. One of the .very best of these good things is: THE WOMAN WHO HELPED HER HUSBAND. There was once a Woman whose Hus- band Depended on the State of the Ma ket for his Daily Toast. One Day he.Ap- pea before Her with a Sad Counte- nance. “All is “Wheat after To my Dear,” said he. "Way Down and 1 Doubt it morrow we shall have More Thousand a Year to Live On.

My Friends Urge me to Throw at 1 Have into Copper, but I dare Not. Five Thousand a Year would Hardly buy Croquettes for Two. I would Better Keep what I have Saved from the Smash.” ““At any rate,” said she, “Come out and Have some Lunch.

I have Twenty Dollars in my Purse. 1 will Buy our Lunch with that, After that the Night Lunch.” “Very well, for the Last Time,” replied Her Husband. They then went to an Expensive Res- taurant and Ate a more than Satisfactory Ll:gvln‘un, At the end of it her Husband said: “I think Better of that Copper than I Did.” Then he went Back to Wall Street and Made Sixty Thousand Dollars in Thirty- eight Minute: This teaches us that Diges Better Part of Valor. 27 i (Published by Charles Scribner’ New York. Price $1.) s Over, is Gloria Deo. Every pastor who desires to develop or improve the congregational singing in his church will be glad to know that a new church hymnal, “Gloria Deo," Jjust pub- lished by the Funk & Wagnalls Company New York, meets this requirement, 1t contains striking advantages without sac- rificing any of the substantial merits of the older works, First—Every hymn in the entire work is siven under the music. Not a single hymn is printed separate from the music. The lines of all the verses are directly under the notes of music in which they are to be sung. The words of each line are care- fully subdivided o as to bring each sylla. ble below and close to the note to be sung. Second—"Glorfa Deo” provides a selas. tion of the hymns and tunes which g twenty-year experfence in church work has proven to be the best for both congre. gations and choirs. Third—In this one volume are contained hymns suitable for the church, the Sun- day school, the Young People's Soclety and other organizations, a feature which not only enables all to use the same book, but makes all, from the youngest to the oldest, familiar with the best hymns of the church and enables the young people to join heartily in the regular church ser- vice of song. Fourth—There are chants, responses and glorias for choir use, Fifth—The Psalter is bound in with the how his Majesty’s atmed schooner Gaspee, sent to Narragansett Bay in 17i2-to en- force the unpopular revenue acts, was punished for many deeds of insolence and aggression. on the part of her command- ing officer and crew. The ship was cap- tured and.destroyed while stranded upon 2 dangerous shoal, whither she had been decoyed by a Yankee packet. The strategy and boldness of the attack are set forth with genuine gusto by the youth of 16—a participant in the fight—who tells the story, and the reader is led to feel very keenly the proud love of liberty in the hearts of the Colenists. There is plenty of pluck, danger and good fighting In this book. Illustrated with sixteen full-page and text drawings by L. J. Bridgman. (Published by Dana Estcs & Co., Boston. Prize 75 cents.) The Miracles of Missions. “The Miracles of Missions,” by Arthur T. Pierson, D.D., is a series of very brief narratives of facts, written with as far as possible absolute accuracy, which both demonstrate and fllustrate the perpetual presence of the supernatural factor in all true mission work. The word “‘miracles” is designedly used in order to bring out the unmistakable divine working and the great variety of facts presented, the tri- umphs of the gospel in ‘all lands and among all classes of people, has the effect of strands braided into a rtpe; any one ati nffi t be in: ent to be the 1fe induc but when estimony is combined a candid mind cannot resist the evidence at Christ’s words are continually fulfilling, “G Gre works than these shall ye do, becau go unto the Father.” The present volume, which h been issued from the ss of F York, the is fourth of Dr. Pierson’s valuable series Wagnalls Com: “Miracles of Missions.”” The precedin Vvolumes are uniform in size and binding and sell for §1 per volume in cloth bindinz and 35 cents in paper. Thig fourth volume is issued under the rul Publishers’ Association net’” boo The price, therefore, is lower than that of the preceding volumes, being 90 cents net in cloth binding and 30 cents net in paper binding. W. H. Neidlinger and Walter Bobbett have found the ideal method of children’s bookmaking—a combination of picture, song and story. In this new book, pub- lished by Rand, McNally Co. of Chi- cago, 1s told the story of “The Owl and the Woodchuck” in the most effective way possible for the understanding of the little ones. The preface introduces both of the principals through the medium of a little song, with piano accompaniment; then follows the story itself, with color illustrations and also marginal pen and ink sketches. The scheme of the authors has been to use music where nothing else will serve so well to express the idea— such as for the calls of the birds, etc., and when explanation is necessary prose is employed or verse, as may seem most appropriate; if a picture suggests itself it is sure to be there and jotted in among the type just where it will be of the most use to give the proper idea. This book cannot be too highly commended and de- serves to become a good seller for the holiday trade. It is the best cuild's book that has as yet been brought to our no- tice. Reynard the Fox. ' Dana Kstes & Co., Boston, have just published a version of ‘the famous beast fable, translated into English verse from the Low German of the fifteenth century and adapted for modern readers. This book belongs to the rare class which is equally delightful to children and to their elders. In this regard it v compared to ‘‘Gulliver's Travels, Quixote” and “Pilgrim's Progress. wit and shrewd satire and -for pure droll- ery, both in situations and description, it is unsurpassed. The animals are not men " dressed up in the skin of beasts, but are throughout true to their characters, and are not only strongly realized, but con- sistently drawnm, although in so -simple and captivating a way that the subtle art of the narrator is quite hidden, and one is aware only of reading an absorbingly interesting and witty tale. When to the charm of the poem is added the exceptional skill of the fllustrator. whose genius in caricature and in animal drawing was demonstrated ‘in his popular edition of. ““Aesop,” published last year, one can hardly look further in seeking for an ideal gift book for nursery table or the library. (Price $150.) Arline Valere. “Arline Valere” by Joseph Hallworth, is story of life in the slums, told in the style of one who is making a first effort, with all its smartness and dull results. It was writtén by hand and reproduced in fac-simile; poor handwriting, scratchings, misspellings and all having evidently nev- er been scanned by the eye of the proof- e author has embellished the mar- gins with what are undoubtedly the poor- est specimens of drawing that ever went to print. The book js worthy of a place in Mbraries as an awful warning to would- be authors. Let us profit by the mistakes of others. (Published by L. C. Page & Co., Boston. Price $150.)

The numerous full-page illustrations add greatly to the value of the work, whieh may safely be pronounced one of the most interesting and useful books for youn people published for many years.

Piers this author offers his present book, he Modern Mission Cen- View: a Cycele of Divine Work- . It is a review of the missions of the nineteenth century with reference to the superintending providence of God. As a work of mission history the book is not without value, but its main object is not S0 much to give the annas of the century as to find the philosophy of its history the center about which all its events re- volVe. It studies the men and women, occurrences and developments, forces and factors of this hundred years as divinely appointed and adjusted to this work. It is especially addressed to students of mis- sionary history and lovers of a world's evangelization. (Published by the Baker & Taylor Company, New York. Price $1.50.) Her Royal Highness Woman. ‘“‘Her Royal Highness Woman and His Majesty Cupid” is a set of essays by Max . O'Rell, recently published by The Abbey Press, New York. The purpose of the book is briefly stated in the preface: ““This unpretentious volume of mine will not have been written in vain if it causes one married couple in each of the three countries where it is published to study and understand each other better. “I dedfate it to married men and wo- men and to young men and women con- templating matrimony—a large public, in- deed.” Mr. O'Rell closes his preface with a Dpostscript, which is rather to the point: “Did 1 hear you ask whether I have been married? “‘Oh, yes, that's all right.”” The book is written. in a light and in- teresting vein and the chapters vary from “maxims for the man in love” and “max- ims for the married man” to “blondes and brunettes” and “what is a perfect lady?” His chapters on “the English gvife” and “the American woman” will probably awaken some discussion. He is loud in his praises of the American woman, but deplores the effects-of too much “higher education,” for he says American men are rapidly being forced into a “back seat.” Two Books by Orme Agnus. Wessex stories saem to be little writ- ten; Wessex dialect seems to be little known, Whether Wessex has been too remote for writers to penetrate, or wheth- er, having penetrated, they have found little worth writing about, does not mat- ter. It is sufficient that the coast is fairly clear for Orme Agnus. Two volumes of his have appeared among the hosts of Christmas books. They have a gay and Christmasy look on the outside, bound as they are in gor- geous scarlet and gold. It is certainly not an appropriate binding, so far as the contents go, for the stories are not cheer- ful. “Jan Oxber” is a novelette, and a very sad one. It is the old, old story—the same stery that *“Tess of the D'Urbervilles™ and many another book, great and small. has handled and will continue to handle 80 long as reckless and handsome young Erglish sculres exist to look upon the charms of foo! and pretty English of “Jan Oxber” is a three- fold tragedy, which involves the unhappy girl, her devoted husband Jan and the squire upon whom Jan wreaks his venge- ance, thereby earning the gratitude of the village people who have long s ed from the arrogance of the line of Deverill.
