But such anticipations are doomed i woeful disappointment "Yarb and -'r.lln, throws a new light on the natter; presents no additional facts i ' ah nntderstlon. Rather it tends to confuse and render dim such Illumination as we already possess. The book is absolutely uncanny and (weird In Its lack of fidelity to the truth. The characters, the situations, the environments Dr. 8waye depict. Jiad never their models on sea or land mosr certainly never in the South. In some quarters the work has been Jialled as a -triumphant" reply o Dixon. In this view it l difficult to sue hour any sane man, conversant with the facts, could concur, Dix on, with all hi" radicalism, prewenUi a picture of what actually did occur; wayse does not. The scene is laid In reconstruction days. Yet wa have no hint of ne gro political domination, save in vague conversational references. No re heard of that mighty race conflict which convulsed the Southland from the Potomac to the Rio Grande and ended In the resumption of political power by the Anglo-Saxon white man. Jt la difficult to conceive bow it ! possible for four hundred pages 'to be written about such a period with out a single bit of the mannersynd cystoma, the thoughts and feelings rf either white or black being Includ ed m it. The author's Ideas f the relation ship existing between the races at the time is queer, to put It mildly. A mulatto sits down in a country hotel t the table with white men. The white proprietor serves him his meal. The white men finish their . meal in peace. nd the hotel man gets rid of his uncomfortable guest by assigning Jilm an equally uncomfortable room. Can you imagine such a handling of. the episode in the djyg of the Fred man's Bureau and the Ku Klux KUn? This ignorance of ' social conditions persist throughout the , book. Con stantly w And Southern white men and women sitting at tbe table with negroes as ir it were their daily cus tom. ,' -., How this is not intended to Indi cate that white man's eating with negro is considered a crime before high heaven, however nnwtse it may The error is alluded to merely a an example of how completely in ignorance our author Is of conditions prevailing at . the time of whleTi he Tha love story of the boot centers round a; wonderfully beautiful oc taroon. and a New England youth who comes Kouth to aid and educate the freed folk. Cretins .has taught k-rself in suen fashion as to have at tnirpd a high degree of culture and refinement Job Wayne, Isolated by the dislike of the Southern whites, makti her acquaintance in his lone ina ar.d they fail mutually itt love. Ai the story progresecea. ttiej arrive at that atage of Intimacy .where friendly kisses may be Interchanged without actual betrothal. The chapter that describes the sep aration of their Baths does not make clear what influences cooled Job's ardor. One thliT however, Is only too clear there Is no doubt in the mind of either as to the wisdom and expediency of a mixed marriage. The natural Inference from the chapter Is that had Job believed him self as much smitten as at first, he would have married Cretlne without the slightest hesitation. This trifling with such a serious matter as miscegenation seems to us to be exrtemely reprehensible. There are any number of men and women of Cretine's blood, who have attained to her plane of culture. To cloud their understanding of the situation by folding up Inter-raclal marital relations as possible and even exped ient under certain conditions, la little lean than diabolical. And of this fault the author la by Indirection, If not directly, guilty. Along with these unpardonable misconceptions, there are some few good points in the book. The va rious paragraphs on the importance of self-control, of manual training and of untiring Industry to the re contlyenfranchiHed race are exactly in line with the best present-day thoughtvand endeavor of black and white alike. THE NATIONAL, REVIEW FOR JUNE. This Issue of the organ of the great Conservative party, of ureat Britain is of more than usual interest tnis month. Following the fashion of most Reviews, it opens with a run ning summary of the events of May. The most atriklng thing about this section Is Editor Maxse's "Qermano- phobta, If we may be allowed the word. According to nia view tne German Kaiser is on the point of pouring his vast army upon the help less inhabitants of Kent and Middle sex. Of course the Conservatives are now in opposition, and the manage ment, or ratner the blundering mis management of the War Department is the most vulnerable point of at tack upon the new Liberal govern ment Nevertheless, at this distance, one can not help - believing that the "near-hysterics" in which Maxse in dulges are unwarranted , by any im mediate danger of an open rupture. Along precisely the same lines it the first of the monthly papers "Some Neglected Aspect of the En tente Cordlale," signed "Ignotus." This writer seems to think' that the prime German military object' Is Lor raine ane Paris ;and after that. In all likelihood, Portsmouth and Lon don, f, ; ,-, . -f " "The Menace to Canadian Unity." by. Louis Corbally has to do with the danger of the United States absorb ing Its northern neighbor.

O." writes "A. Plea For the, Restoration of the Infantry Spirit" in which among other recommenda tions It is urged that the colors be restored to the regiments from which they have been removed, and that of ficers be allowed to wear swords ones more, instead of being burdened with rifles. Both of the changes against which the writer protests were made in the light of actual experience In the Boer war; but each seems to have brought with It, attendant evils which more than counterbalance its good effects. The review of "American Affairs' Is kulte well done, and a number of other timely and well-written papers are presented. YOUNG'S MAGAZINE FOR JULY. The novelette in this number, "The Wager," by Frits Doering, Is rather out of the usual run. A Polish noble loses his ancestral property at cards, and then bets that he will marry the first woman he meets on the streets, within six months, his estates to re vert to him If he succeeds in doing so. The denouement is compll cated by the Interference of the lov er of the girl and by the "butting In' of the other party to the wager, who naturally tries to prevent the success ful accomplishment or the design. The whole , situation is handled with refreshing Ingenuity. "Circe," by Fred Jackson.' ls 'eas lly the best of the other seventeen pieces of short Action. It is the story of a Tarlsian demi-monde, who, after breaking a score of hearts and ruining as many lives, meets a man who is perfectly Indifferent to the most alluring display of hen marvel lous physical perfections. The theme ls not original, but the handling of It is toucninz and quits wholesome.
