Two volumes of letters and special articles Contributed by Rudyard Kipling to the Civil and Military Gazette o Lahore have been collected and published In two volumes un der the tltlo "Prom Sea to Sea. " The work la prefaced with a statement signed by the author that ho has been forced to rcpubllsh these early writings "by the en terprise of various publishers , who , not con tent with disinterring old newspaper work from the decent seclusion of the odlco flics , have seen fit In some cases to embellish It with additions and Interpolations. " The two volumes contain nineteen chapters of description of llfo In India , entitled col lectively , "LcJUorS of Marque , " and thirty- Boven sketches of travel In the cast and west , Including the western United State ? , called "From Sea to Sea , " as well as the "City of Dreadful Night.

" Youthful , even for his years , ex cept In tho' remarkable gift of his literary development ; aggressive , Inconsiderate , un fair , Is the writer of these collected papers , but his fresh young skill , the temperament and the cyo of the poet , more than com pensate for his faults. He saya : " 1 put my twelve-Inch rule In my pocket to measure all the world 'by. " Let this to remembered when hla comments hurt ; but will anything ho says really hurt anyone ? Ho met omo Americans In Japan : "My oxperlenco Is Badly llmltod , but the American I have heard Is a tongue as distinct from English as Fqt.i- Konlan. A gentleman from Boston was kind enough to tell mo something about It. He defended the use of 'I guess' IB a Shakes pearean expression to be found in ntchard III.1 'All right , ' I eald , Tvo never heard ft real American say 'I CUCBS , ' but what about the balance of your extraordinary tongue ? Do you moan to say It has anything in common with ours except the auxiliary verbs , the name of the Creator and 'damn ? ' Listen to the men at the next table. 'They ere westerners. ' said the man from Boston , as who should say. 'Observe his casso- .wary. ' They are westerners , and if you want to mnko a westerner mad , tell him that ho Is not like an Englishman. They think they are like the English. They < ro aw f fully thln-sklnncd In the west. Now , In Uoston It Is different. "Wo don't care what the English people think of us. "Tho Idea of the English sitting down to think about Boston , while Boston , on the other sldo of the water , ostentatiously 'didn't care. ' made mo snigger. The man told rae stories. Ho belonged to a republic. That was why every man of his acquaint ance , belonged to 'one of the llrst families In Boston , ' or clso 'was of coed Salem stock , nnd his fathers had come over In the Mayflower. ' I felt as though I wore mov ing In the midst of a noveT. Fancy having to explain to a stranger the blood and breedIng - Ing of the hero of every anecdote.

" San Fran cisco struck him as "a mad city Inhabited for the most part with Insane people , whose women are of remarkable beauty.

If wo pos- uess the but they all upat. They spat on principle. " "Scores of men , " whllo he was In San Francisco , "told with no false pride , that they would as soon concern themselves -with' public affairs of the city or state , as rake muck. " But ho says , In the same breath , that ho was In love with "eight American maidens at that very moment. " The girls take every gift as a matter of course , yet they develop greatly when a catastrophe arrives , and the man ot many millions goes up or goes down , and his daughters take to stenography or typewrit ing. "I have heard many talcs tot heroism from the lips of girls who counted the prin f cipals among their friends. The crash came : Wamle or Sadie , or Hattlo gave up their maid , their carriages , and candy , nnd with a No. Remington and a stout heart , set about earning their dally bread.

The topic selected would have been an Impossibility a century ago , but la absolutely within the range of certainty today. The theme , then , Is a hugo railroad grab. How the business Is engineered ; the leading bandits ; the en gagements ; the tricks ; the ruses , and the devices of the grabbers and the grabbed , are nil explained. Tim Weeks is this chief , and Tim comes from fighting stock. Porter , president of the trunk line , Is his adversary , and the world Is too small for them both to exist at the same time.

The 'Macmlllan ' Co. , New York. During the winter of 1897-08 Bishop Cyrus D. Foss of the Methodist Episcopal church was assigned the duty of an olllclal visita tion to India and 'Malaysia. The result of this assignment Is a volume entitled "From the Himalayas to the Etjuator , " which is fresh from the hands of the publishers. Primarily Intended for Methodist people , the bishop has produced a work that will bo ap preciated by all > who have any Interest In missionary work In India. Without doubt It gives the clearest Idea of the true state of missionary work In that country of anything published to date. The bishop's style as a whole Is pleasing nnd his descriptive powers marked , though ho has been unable to alto gether overcome the habit common to Chris tian ministers of throwing in high sounding but nlmcst meaningless words that might. In the interests of 'brevity ' , better bo left out. On page 238 his account has almost a local Interest. Ho says : "The Ganges Is the lllthlcst stream I ever saw. The Missouri after a freshet cannot match It. The dead bodies of animals float down , lodge on the barn , and are torn to pieces by the vultures. " Bishop FOBS spent several days in Omaha at the time of the general Methodist conference held In this city In 1892 , at which time ho made a wide circle of friends who will doubtless bo Interested In his latest literary work.

It Is a sen sational story If ever there was one , judged by the outline of the plot lt elf. Ordinary life does not present such Incidents ns secret midnight operations , accompanied by murder and the sudden apparition of a witness In th.8 person of n sleepwalking small girl of cataleptic tendencies. It speaks well for Mrs. Balllio-Reynolds that she cannot only make us Interested In these startling devel opments , but even goes far to convince us of their truth. The style and dialogue aio as natural and unsensatlonal ns possible. The heroine Is witty and charming ; so I * the entomological Isabel , whos"o scientific courtship supplies the light comedy of the book. 'Mrs. ' Balllle-Kcynolds gets a good grip o' her story and carries her readers with her straight on to the end. J. I ) . Llp- plncotc Company , Philadelphia. Paper , 50 cents. "The Satyr , " a novel of love and passion , Is by Mlna Holt. The author's own words may bo taken to best Indicate the character of the work. "Tho Satyr" assumes no particular claim to literary excellence ; designates a spade a spade , but does BO only In the sense of a published sermon ; con demns the nineteenth century'a degenerate civilization and Its base practices ; attacks the vices and Immoralities of the human race ; seeks to establish ono standard of moral law for man na for woman ; demands the strict observances of God's laws , especially the ten commandments : proclaims "to live In the purity of the Christ alone can the potil hope for eternal life , nnd a dwelling place In an eternal heaven a mem- her of God's eternal family. " The work Is nicely gotten out , the printing , binding , etc. , being exccirent. F. Tennyson Nedy , New York. "A Charleston Love Story ; or , Hortenso Yanross , " by T. G.

ARTIST LETS OUT A GROWL Coiuiilnlnn of the Transport Fncllltien In the Inland of JUtizon. LONDON , 'Aug. 1. The special artist of the Dally Graphic of this city , now In the Philippine Islands , has been indulging in a vigorous srowl nt the treatment which ho says ho has been subjected to "by authori ties who are so deficient in common sense , to sav nothlnc of courtesy , as to forbid an artist the assistance which lie might provide for himself by engaging servants to carry the food the military authorities decline to supply even now on jxiymcnt. " Ho adds : "If this campaign were con ducted by the British there would be officers commanding t the base and lines of com munication , roads would be repaired , streams would be bridged or ferries established and supply trains would bo moved along , estab lishing depots. "I have accompanied five British expedi tions where these characteristics prevailed , but this Is the first campaign I have seen in which the transport service wae system atically neglected. Hvcn the Chinese estab lished depots In 1804. But here you cannot be taken by cart from Manila to San Tomas by road without having to swim streams. But for a bit of single railway line the troops would be starved on this line of operations. As It Is they are but fed from band to mouth. " Unii Uovi-ii a MnllliiK Ve el. QUEBNSTOWN , Aug. 1.
