It Is tin Impression ot the short Journey through a country divided by hedges Into a srccn and gold checker board , the disappearance of the thatched roofs and the appearance of the chimney pots , "unlit you como to the Thames , where black barges In mid Btronm wait foi1 the muddy tldo to turn , between banks of masts and smokestacks ; then the Gothic buildings of Parliament and nig Ben and Charing Cross station ; and In another moment you arc In London , riding through the never ending restlessness of KB streets In a cab that you can affordi with your hat box safe by your sldo nnd your trunk up by the driver , and London with Its history on all sides of you , Its woollen streets and pollihed sidewalks nnd bright shop windows , and at every corner small sweeps and big policemen , providing clean and safe crossIng - Ing , while push carts dodge In and out be tween steaming 'bus horses nnd hansom cabs. " It Is this London of reality and the Imagination that Mr. Gibson has been pictur ing with his pen In the magazines and newspapers - papers and everywhere that men are looking for such pictures , and It Is this London of history and tradition and queer customs and costumes surviving the passing of old regimes that ho has Illustrated In a splendid book just brought out. It Is full of Gibson pictures , the very best of which tli ? artist Is capable , and that IB saying enough for the volume. Mr. Gibson has also written an accompanying story , from which the above extract was taken , that adds much to the value of the work. Charles Scrlbner's Sons , Now York. $5. Even to those who have done Httlo travelIng - Ing on the ocean , much less familiarized themselves with the methods of work on the giant vessels of the now navy , the story of the dally life of the sailor Is deeply Inter esting. It Is true that there has como a great change In that life since the old sail ing ships were broken up In the navy yards , but a sailor Is a sailor and he Is In a class by himself as though not n part of the world. The llfo on the water Is different from any other life whether It Is literally before the mast or before monster smoke conveyors. The inan-of-war's-raan ot today Is even a more Interesting per son than his ancestors , for he must exercise talent In many directions made necessary by the development of the art of naval war fare. "The delicate and complicated ma chinery of the modern fighting ship , " writes II. K. Zogbattm , "the high powered ordnance , the swift torpedo , the frightful force of ex plosives and projectiles , the care and manip ulation of all the various engines of offense and defense , call for an amount of prepara tion of men and ships for which , In the event of war 'with any power ready to glvo the nation battle , all the untrained courage and patriotism of her children , could not make up. " It Is this theme of the dally llfo of a modern sailor In the American navy that Is presented by LMr. Zogbatim in his "All Hands , " with a collection ot full-page pictures that tell the story far better than It could bo prpRontcd In 'words. ' Many of thoce pictures have been given before In Harper's Weekly , but they make , a complete and connected story when gathered Into one volume. ( Mr. Zogbaum's pencil has caught almost every phase of the llfo of the sailor and the volume of 'VU1 Hands" is a com plete story. Harper & Bros. , New York. $5. Undoubtedly one of the most Intoreltlng features of magazine literature Inl the yesr 1S9S wHl be the serlca of papers In Mc- Cluro's In which the late Charles A. Dana glvcu his reminiscences of the men and measures of the war period. These reminiscences contain more unpub- I'ahed war history than any other book ex cept the government publications. Mr. Dana WES Intimately associated with Lincoln , Stanton , Grant , Sherman1 cad the other'great men of the civil war. He had the confl- donco of the president and his great war secretary , and ho was sent on many private missions to make' Important Investigations In the army. Lincoln called him , "The eyes of the government at the front. " Everywhere through these memoirs are bits of secret his tory and fresh recollections of great men. These reminiscences will be Illustrated with many rare and unpublished war photograp'ns from the government collection , which now contains over 8,000 negatives of almost price- Jess value. The papers that have already appeared In. . McCluro's hc e been of ths greatest Interest and It la certain others will sustain this Interest. The Art Amateur presents for the Christ mas number an unrivaled literary and ar tistic production. Artists , connoisseurs , art students and photographers have a rare treat In store for them In this number , which Is truly a work of art. Prom the very at tractive cover of holly and mistletoe wo turn to the Rembrandt supplement , with Its fif teen exquisite Illustrations of the works of the famous Dutch artist. The color plate , "Little Sweothcarta , " by Tojettl , Is an Ideal picture of five children's heads , charmingly soft In color. In the body of the magazine Montaglo Marks contributes an article on the nembrandts In America , while Uoger Hlor- darrf writes on Hombrandt na a painter , and describes his methods. Charles A. Vander- hoof has a very valuable Illustrated article cia "Pon1 and Ink Sketching from Nature. " and M. n. Odenhelmer one on "Figure Paint ing. " The "Mural Decorations" and the "Lighting of the New Astoria Hotel , " the latter with seven Hlustratlono 'by the de signer , Howard B , Watklns , are- given duo attention. The Outlook for 1898 will contain , bealdea many other things , a richly Illustrated series of papers by Edward Everett Halo on "James UuBfioll Lowell and Hlisr Friends ; " a series of articles by Lyman Abbott on "The Llfo and Letters of St , Paul ; " a group of papers on municipal questions , and on municipal franchises In particular , by Dr. Albert Shaw , Prof. E.

Most of these cards uro lUuotra- tlons of flowers or rural scenes and the work U perfect. The Mother Gnow stories In verso arc fa- mllUr lo all of us , nnd It would seem thit the theme h\ul been exhausted by the book .makers , but the appoiraiica of a new volume on Mother Geese especially for the holiday 'trade ' this ycnr proves the contrary. TVils Is foci Mother Geese In prose. The author presents first a history of the Mother Goo u melodies , Into which lie throws all the nformatlon avalMblo on this subject. Ho leaves the origin in tioiibt , hut 1lwt wn to uo expected ; and then ho presents Uio Mother Goose stories In entire new words stories In prcso containing nil < ho < catures of the familiar stories , with that which has usually been left lo the Imagination till sup plied. The Idea Is unique nnd It Is well dene. The work Is by Frank L. U.ium of Chicago , formerly of South Dakota , where ho was engaged In newspaper work. T io One of the genuine. American humorists Is Sam Walter Foss , whoso name Is not yet very familiar to many American readers. He Is of the same school at alley , Field and Carleton - ton , but aside from the abundance of humor In nil his work there Is a vein of philan thropic earnestness nnd suggestion In It all. In his "Whiffs from Wild Meadows" ho pre sented pocwis In great variety , that , as one critic puts It , "touches you nil round , from grave to gay , from lively to severe , and after having been shaken up and tossed about from every angle ot vision , by tender humor , and caustic satire , nnd brimming joviality , and prickly truths , nnd sparkling witticisms , and palpable hits at the guilty violator ot law and the amenities of llfo you rise up a better , n truer and a nobler man. " This also might truthfully bo said of his later "Dreams In Homespun. " Jlo treats every day themes poetically , and Is especially strong In pro- suntltig the scenes of farm llfo In New Eng land. It Is n volume ot healthful verso and simple philosophy. Lee & Shepard , Uoston. $1. GO. As the American people never tire of the familiar old "Unclo Tom's Cabin , " so they aru not wi-arled with repetition of thellfo story of the gifted author of that masterpiece of purpose writing. That the publishers might bo able to offer a biographical volume to supplement the series of her writings Annie Fields has edited a volume of the "Life nnd Letters of Harriet needier Stowe , " In which the story of her llfo Is admirably told and with It new facts relative to the writing of the book which made her famous , and all the letters bearing on the subject or which would bo of general Intcivst. The part Mrs. Stowo's little book played In bringing to a crisis the conflict over the existence of slav ery on the American continent Is familiar to all. It was this story of plantation life , the story of a sweet little child and ot a negro slave with a tender heart and a cruel mister that set a nation to weeping for the oppressed slaves of the southern plantations. How Mrs. Stowo came to write this story Is as Interesting as the story Itself. The prepara tions began In bleak New England with the ancestor of the famous Heeeher family , were continued with her able father and reached a culmination when she went to Cincinnati with her father's family. If Harriet Beecher had not gone with her parents to Cincinnati to become nn assistant to her sister In the seminary It is doubtful If "Unclo Tom's Cabin" could have been written. It was at Walnut Hills that she learned something of the actual condition of slave life In the south. The Impulse to do something for humanity to do something great and en during had long heen with the girl , but not until she had had her experience In the west was It possible for her to get at the task. "Unclo Tom's Cabin" can bo best understood after ono has read the story of Mrs. Stowo's life. In this volume the story Is given In simple language , as by ono who had sincerely admired Mrs. Stowc , and with a view to a better understanding of the woman and her work.

Henry James has been most severely criti cised for the plot of his "What Malslo Know , " although all have recognized the literary quality of the book. The impression left by the book Is disagreeable. Hlchard Harding' Davis Is to have a new serial In Scrlbner's next year , It Is nald to bo oven more dramatic than his "Soldiers of Fortune.

Aldrlch on her list , In the current nunvbcr of the Forum a number of good writers combine to present pipers that are of the greatest Immediate Interest.

She seldom graces the cellar with her pres ence before the mldnUtH hour , and with the first streaks of dawn "l.oiifj Lena" takes her departure. Unlike various other gambling hmtses In Memphis , Lamb docs not "bank" the gaino that Is continually going on In his place. Ills employes nil handle tbo money that Is put upon the table nnd direct the play , but Lamb never loses. Ho simply takes out a percentage of the stakes played for.
