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. " "Among the Hallway -
way Folk , " "Tho dlrldlb Coal Folds , " "In
on Opium Factory" and "The Smith Admin
istration. " 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. I won
der whether many of Iho people In Boston
nro llko my friend with the Salem fami
lies. I am going there to BOO. " San Fran
cisco struck him as "a mad city Inhabited
for the most part with Insane people , whose
women are of remarkable beauty. " "In a
vast marble-paved hall sat forty or fifty
men , und6t < the glare of electric lights , and ,
tor their use and amusement , were provided
eplttoons of Infinite capacity and generous
Rape.'Most' bf the men were frock coats
nnd top hats the things that we In India
put on at a wedding breakfast. 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. 'And did
I drop her from my list of friends ? No ,
sir , ' Bald a scarlet-lipped vision In whl e
lace , 'that might happen to mo any day. ' "
Klpllnff did not npcml all or even much
of his lime In towns nnd cities , hotels am'
drawing rooms. Ho fished for salmon , sho' '
big game and rode bronchos. He saw the
Yellowstone. Ho Journeyed through Utah
and studlod Mormonlsm. Ho Interviewed
Mark Twain , whom he reveres.
"Tho City of Dreadful Night. " being a
scries of descriptive articles on Calcutta
written In 1888 , should not bo confoundec
with his later Imaginary e'.tetch bearing the
name title. It was In this early contribu
tion to the press of 'North India that Kip
ling "cursed Calcutta. " He gravely ex-
grossed surprise In beginning "From Sea
to Sea , " a year later , to find It still Hour-

"The Short Line War , ' . ' byMerwlnWeb -
eter , Is the work of two authors , Samuel
Merwln nnd Henry K. Webster. 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 authors In
troduce Into this curious episode of modern
contention neat love story. What the
authors have mastered are all the Incidents
and conditions of an active railroad war , and
they have Introduced all the strange Inci
dents which belong to such engagements.

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. Eaton & Mains , New York. Cloth , $1.
"Nlgt'l FerrarJ" Is a novel by 0. M. Rob
erta ( Mrs. L. Balllle-Reynolds ) . 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 ,

"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. Steward , Is an Ameri
can story presenting many Interesting phases
of genuine homo llfo In New Jersey , New
England and the south. It especially brings
Into view much of the best of Charleston's
society before the war and depl.-ts the
manners of that historic city. Its characters
are full of life and the movement of the
story Is dramatic , pleasing and full of In
terest. There are scenes of touching pathos ,
relieved by .subdued , but genuine humor. P.
Tennyson Neely , New York.
Macaulay's "Lays of Ancient Rome" are
too well known to every admirer of classic
English to need any comment. Everyone

library. Casscll & Co. , New York. Paper , 10

die ( Jane M. Craig ) . The number contains
a complete novel by Sarah Barnwell El
liott entitled "Fortune's Vassals , " besides
other Interesting features.
There are several literary features In the
August Coming Age which will Interest the
gwioral reader. Will Allen Dromgoole's
story , "An Unsworn Witness , " Is probably
ono of the Btrongcbt pieces of fiction In the
current magazines. There Is an admirable
short study of the poems of Richard Realf ,
by Louis E. Van Norman. Under the title

Flower reviews at length the "Queen of the

Folks ( which commences a now volume )

mences a fascinating series of articles on
the management of pots. Tadpoles are first
dealt with. There are many other features
of great Intercut to small people.
Cusscll'g Magazine for August contains
an Illustrated artlclo "How Gunpowder Is
Made , " In which the author describes the
"danger houses. " The danger buildings
themselves are ao constructed that not a
nailhoad or Iron In any shape Is exposed
and the roofs nro made slight , so na to
give easy vent to explosions. The gar
ments of the -workers are pocketlets , go
that they cannot carry knives or matches ,
or Indeed anything , and are made of nonInflammable -
Inflammable material. Even the buttons
must not bo of metal. No one la allowed to
go about with trousers turned up at bottom
tom because grit Is collected In that way
and the merest hard speck of foreign mat
ter In a charge of gunpowder Is fraught
with danger.
"What to Eat , " a magazine published at
Minneapolis , has come to ( > o recognized as
an authority upon foods , cooking , serving ,

Ished interest.
"The Race Question in the Philippine Isl
ands" li the 'title of an article bv F
Blumentrltte which appea.-s in Applelons
Popular Science Monthly for August. The
author , owing to a wide acquaintance among
Filipinos , is well qualified to spealc on ihls

the Atlantic Monthly with a ' haracterlstic-
nlly glowing account nf the Yosemlto Na
tional Park , descrlblnc Its natural beam lor

In execution It Is romantic and realistic
The life Is that of today In a small American

our common nature.
The August Century Is a midsummer and
travel number. In the former character Its
special feature may be eald to bo a group of
papers on tornadoes and thiind r storms.
The llrst of these Is a graphic description ,
at first hand , of the tornado that visited
Klrksvllle , Mo. , last spring. This -was seen
from his doorstep by John R. Mustek , an
author living In that city ; and as It consid
erably changed Its course , which at first was
straight toward his house , ho had an ex
traordinary good opportunity to observe Its
actions and devastating effects. Some of its
pranks seem hardly credible , but are vouched
for by trustworthy witnesses , eome of
whom , together with a horse , were owept
up and carried hundreds of yards through
the air , without suffering the slightest
Injury.
Whllo most magazines iput forth a midsummer -
summer fiction number. Alnilen'a strikes ai

tion number In which are five uhort stories
, by the foremost native writers , F. Hop
klnson Smith , F. Marion Crawford. H. W.
Chambers , Morgan Robertson and John

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. "
