BOOK REVIEWS Captain Horn The Adventures of Captain Horn. By FRANK R. STOCKTON. Cloth, 404 pages, $1.50. New York: Chas. Scribner's Sons. MR. STOCKTON continues to furnish proofs of the variety of his inventive genius. He wrecks his party on the coast of Peru, where they discover caverns with a lake having a plug which the Captain inadvertently kicks out, thereby disclosing the hiding place of the gold of the Incas. Adventures galore follow, with outlaws and Africans in leading parts, and complications of the most unexpected sorts consequent upon the efforts to protect and carry off the wealth. One of the purely Stocktonese episodes is the embarrassment of the lady from New England who shares in the distribution. The peculiar feature of the case is the necessity for concealing not only the origin but the possession of her fortune when she returns to her native town. Therefore her apparent poverty leads her friends to present her with a pair of blankets, while all the time she is burning to exhibit to them a pair of the same useful articles which she has purchased in California. The presentation ceremony is somewhat disturbed by the maiden lady who, having contributed 25 cents, considers it her duty and her privilege to free her mind on the subject of what she considers Mrs. Cliff's extravagance. Not the least amusing feature of the story is the methodical way in which Mr. Stockton disposes of his people. No matter how unimportant a part is played, the fate of the player is a matter which is not left in doubt, for he is disposed of in the most businesslike manner. He has a curious way of setting up obstacles which seem destined to be the ruin of his Captain, and immediately demolishing them without keeping his readers in suspense. His villains jump at conclusions in the most extraordinary fashion by intuition, or at best by drawing inferences from the slightest of bases. The story is unlike any of its predecessors from Mr. Stockton's pen. The conception, while it is more audacious in magnitude, is less whimsical, and his people have not the traits of originality which mark the creations of his golden youth. Yet they often make happy remarks. One of these is Mrs. Cliff's allusion to the great sculptured face which guards the treasure caves, as a cashier idol; also her dubitation over the form of the marriage ceremony which was necessarily performed by a coal black heathen unable to speak English. While the author's fancy takes a less fantastic form, it is still untrammeled by rules, and the book is irresistibly attractive and may safely be counted as one of his successes. Actual Africa With map Actual Africa, or the Coming Continent. A Tour of Exploration By FRANK VINCENT. and over 100 illustrations. Cloth, 541 pages, $5.00 New York: D. Appleton & Co. Is it Asia-ward or Africa-ward that the star of empire now takes its way? Some months ago came Henry Norman with a bulky volume, telling us, and quoting high authority, too, to look to Asia, for "there lies the future." Now comes Mr. Vincent, telling us in another bulky volume, and quoting equally high authority, that Africa is once again to hold first place among the continents. Probably in this case, as in many other cases of disagreement, both Mr. Norman and Mr. Vincent are partially correct. Both Asia and Africa will yet occupy a much higher place in comparison with Europe and North America than they now occupy. And yet there seems little reason to fear that Europe and America will be unable to hold their own politically and intellectually in the competition of the continents. Starting at Tangier, Mr. Vincent carries us around the Continent, eastward, southward, and northward, with long incursions up the Nile, Congo, and other rivers, across Madagascar, and into the interior of Southeastern Africa. Mr. Vincent is, indeed, a most entertaining and instructive traveling companion. If his book is to be fully appreciated and enjoyed, the reader must place himself in the attitude of traveling companion, and must sympathize fully with Mr. Vincent's love of detail. It takes years to see what Mr. Vincent saw, and it will take more than an idle hour to journey through this massive volume. But while there is a wealth of detail, there is never a burden of it. We must not, however, expect too much from the book. It is in no sense an exhaustive study of Africa and its resources or political conditions. It is simply the record of an observant but not deeply philosophical traveler's impressions. It is unfortunate that the pleasing effect of the book should be marred at the very close by such a paragraph as the following: Five years having been consumed in preparations for my journeys, and five in writing, illustrating, and publishing accounts of them-making in all 25 years dedicated to the full scheme of exploration-confirm me in the opinion that the ten leading countries of the world, in the order of their novelty, variety, and degree of interest, are Turkestan, Persia, Morocco, Brazil, Mexico, Italy, Egypt, India, Japan, and the United States. Truly, it is comforting to our national egotism to know that the United States does get into the list, even at the tail end of it, as affording more of "novelty, variety, and degree of interest”—whatever that may mean-than does any effete monarchy of Europe except Italy. It must be confessed that this paragraph does not say much for the author's power of generalization and deduction, and it may be suggested in the interest of good grammar, good logic, and good sense that before the book goes to another edition the above paragraph be submitted to a process of revision by elimination. The book is most profusely and beautifully illustrated, Mr. Vincent being a photographer of no mean skill. The publishers have spared no pains or expense on the typographic features of the volume, and it is altogether a very handsome piece of work. Another " Chimmie Fadden" Book Chimmie Fadden Explains: Major Max Expounds. By EDWARD W. TOWNSEND. Cloth, $1.00. 266 pages. New York: Lovell, Coryell & Co. MR. TOWNSEND has put forth another volume of his sketches which deserves notice as a form of American humor which has received but little attention for a generation or two. Chimmie is a Bowery boy transplanted into a higher grade of society as a servant, but retaining his dialect. Mr. Townsend reproduces this dialect in an exaggerated form, full of humor which, while certainly unrefined, is still too genuine to be decried. As to the ethical tendency we cannot say that there is any. There are frequent incursions into the seamy side of life which, although very amusing, certainly do not point a moral. There is cynicism in abundance, but it takes a cheerful form, and the fun is riotous without, however, transgressing the laws of propriety, a danger which a less judicious writer than Mr. Townsend might not have avoided. The satire flies straight to the mark, winged with an affection of naiveté which is inimitable. The epicurean major is of a different sort, his manner of thought is higher, and there are some bits of wisdom in his trifling which would not be out of place in a more sedate setting. Chimmie, however, is the chief attraction, being so different from his readers and such a cheerful, unmoral example of how the other half thinks and acts. In mechanical execution the volume is a novelty. Its heavy-faced type is based on the Jenson form of the fifteenth century, and the cover, title-pages, and initials are remarkably clever effects in black and white. "Historical Monuments" of France Churches and Castles of Medieval France. By WALTER CRANSTON LARNED. Cloth, 236 pages, $1.50. New York: Chas. Scribner's Sons. MR. LARNED is certainly an enthusiastic and appreciative admirer of the wonderful examples of art and architecture which have come down to us from the Middle Ages. It is well to be charitable; but without any desire to be severe, there are several things about this book which one cannot refrain from criticising adversely. style is rambling, loose, and incoherent. This applies to the book as a whole, as well as to individual constructions. There are frequent repetitions, and numerous in stances of disappointing and obvious failure to carry to completion climaxes once begun, and to make the best use of opportunities. Much of the attempt at spiritualizwell as immature and lacking in finish. ing and fanciful interpretation is trite, as The monu The author has expressly disclaimed any attempt to give authoritative criticism on art works, or mere detailed guide book descriptions of the "historical ments" discussed. Notwithstanding, the reader will constantly find himself wishing that the author had, paradoxically perhaps, told more, said less, and taken less space in so doing. The impression one receives is that of reading a series of informal personal letters, written in the intervals of travel, and published without revision. On the other hand, there is much to in terest the reader, if he will but permit himself to enter for a short while into the atmosphere which surrounds these beautiful old cathedrals, châteaux, and fortified towns-an atmosphere the spirit of which Mr. Larned, after all is said, has succeeded not inadequately in communicating. The 24 full-page half-tones, well printed and selected with good taste, are in themselves interesting and instructive. The Shadow of a Crime The Shadow of a Crime. By HALL CAINE. Cloth, 353 pages. Boston: Jos. Knight & Co. IN the light of Mr. Caine's established reputation it seems necessary to take some note of the appearance of one of his earliest stories in the first fitting garb which, we believe, it has had in this country. If one misses the Manx flavor, he has a substitute of much attraction in this story of the times when the Restoration brought trouble upon the old soldiers of the Commonwealth; although it cannot be said to be historical. The central idea is the efforts of a stalwart Cumbrian yeoman to escape the cruel punishment inflicted under the old English criminal law for a refusal to plead—death by iron weights laid on the body until the life was crushed out of it. Much of the dialect is necessarily that of Cumberland, but it is easily read, and the action is rapid and stirring. There are some exceedingly striking situations, which are worthy of the author at his best, and while from a psychological point of view it does not equal the Manx novels, it nevertheless has merits peculiarly its own. There are about a dozen half-tone illustrations, the landscapes being better than the others. of Familiar Flowers of Field and Garden. Described Familiar Flowers of Field and Garden. and Illustrated. By F. SCHUYLER MATHEWS. Cloth, $1.75. New York: D. Appleton & Co. IN the multiplicity of popular works on scientific subjects there must be a great gain in popular knowledge. The little book before us is an addition to the yet too few popular works on plants. Trees and flowers are on every hand, the face of nature is everywhere adorned, and dull indeed must the person be who sees not its beauties and myriad phases. The rendering of these into popular language is worthy of the best talent, and the advanced specialist can do no better than stop now and then and bring the great general public," by means of a popular presentation of nature's beauties, within his charmed circle. The author of this book appears to be first of all an artist, and the sketches and plant histories which accompany the pictures may, without paradox, be said to illustrate them. The author seems to be most familiar with the plants of New England and especially in the vicinity of the White Mountains of New Hampshire. The book begins with the earliest flowers of spring and follows by months the successive floral changes. It is not, however, confined to the strictly wild flowers but includes many common garden flowers. None of the plants mentioned in this book are described after the manner of the technical manuals, but simply interesting bits of life history are woven in with legend and folklore. It will make a pleasing companion for a summer in New England. Mr. Haggard's Latest Heart of the World. By H. RIDER HAGGARD. Cloth, & Co. 347 pages, $1.25. New York: Longman's, Green MR. HAGGARD'S new book deals with the ever-fascinating traditions of the Golden City, hidden far from the eyes of white men in the unexplored recesses of Central America. A secret brotherhood, hoary in its antiquity, plays its part, with ceremonials described with a minuteness which reflects credit on Mr. Haggard's power of imagination. If here and there we find a situation which has a familiar echo, still it is worked over into different shape from that which we knew, and the jealous barbarian who puts the lives of the adventurers of which ever sex or whatever race in jeopardy, has at least some traits not exactly like those of his archetype on another continent. Herein lies one of the secrets of Mr. Haggard's success: he is not afraid to repeat himself, and does not fear to ring the changes judiciously on the love-frenzied savage with his complementary traitor, the Englishman of superhuman bravery, and the hidden treasure. Anyone who begins the book is likely to finish it, and that is probably the measure of success which satisfies the author. Briefer Notices Zangwill's stories have already been accorded by the critics a place among classic and permanent English fiction. Whatever else he may write, his "Children of the Ghetto" will probably always remain one of his most original and popular works, if not his masterpiece. In it he has pictured the Hebrew character and life as no one else had pictured it before him. There was a distinct demand for a one-volume edition of the "Ghetto" such as the MacMillans have brought out. "Bleak House" forms the fourteenth volume in the new edition of Charles Dickens's works which Macmillan & Co. are now bringing out. These volumes are accurate reprints of the first editions and contain all the original illustrations. Each volume also contains a short introduction by the novelist's eldest son, giving a history of the writing and publication of each book, together with other details, biographical and bibliographical, that are of interest to the general reader. The edition is admirable in every detail of workmanship. ($1.00 per volume.) "Parson Thring's Secret," by A. W. Marchmont, B. A. (New York: The Cassell Publishing Co.; cloth, $1.00), is the story of a girl who felt called upon to sacrifice her own happiness in order to preserve her family from an unmerited disgrace. Happily all mysteries were cleared away at the last moment, so that she was freed from the necessity of making a distasteful marriage. While this novel is not strong, it is at least free from the unwholesome and passionate rant of many of the works of the present day. It is a good, enjoyable piece of light summer reading. "Pleasure Cycling," by Henry Clyde, is a neat little volume giving detailed information such as every learner, and indeed every old rider who has got beyond that intermediate stage when he knows it all, will find of practical value. It treats of the selection of a machine, the manner of riding, taking care of a bicycle, dress and equipment, cycling for health, and indeed the whole range of cycling interests and pleasures. While the writer is an enthusiast, his enthusiasm does not get the better of his judgment and good sense. advice appears thoroughly sound at every point. (Buckram, 180 pages. Boston Little, Brown & Co.) His "Pleasure and Profit of Bible Study," by D. L. Moody, is a strong and oftentimes eloquent plea for constant study of the Bible. Mr. Moody, as is well known, belongs to the school of preachers who hold that the Bible is inspired from cover to cover, who recognize no impossibilities or inconsistencies in it, and who regard it as nothing short of sacrilege to submit the book to the methods of the so-called higher criticism. Those who hold this view will find much satisfaction and comfort in Mr. Moody's vigorous and uncompromising presentation of it. He is, moreover, a master of simple, crisp, incisive AngloSaxon which it is a pleasure to read. Buckram, 137 pages, 50 cents. New York, Chicago, and Toronto: Fleming H. Revell & Co.)

(Cloth, 159 pages, $1.25. New York: Chas. Scribner's Sons.) From unknown time the cat has been made the butt for numberless practical jokes of a more or less painful character, and has come to be regarded by the mass of people as something to be taken always in fun. To many people the very name "pussy" brings a feeling of smiling contentment. But the cat can be treated seriously, and the New York Cat Show is responsible for instigating the publication by Dr. R. S. Huidekoper, the well known New York veterinarian, of an authoritative 66 Guide to the classification and varieties of cats and a short treatise upon their care, diseases, and treatment." The book is fully illustrated, and will be of value and interest to all friends of the cat. (Cloth, 148 pages. New York: D. Appleton & Co.) BUSINESS AND The Business Situation Selected and condensed for PUBLIC OPINION Dun's Review, New York He who sees a setback in business at this time must be gazing through a telescope pointed by mistake at some other country. From all parts of the United States, the best advices obtainable tell of a rising tide of trade and industry, which threatens here and there to mount too far and too fast. The volume of all business is by no means equal to that of 1892 as yet, though in some important branches larger than in that or any other year. Daily payments through clearing houses in June are 26.9 per cent. larger than last year, though 8.6 per cent. smaller than in 1892, the last year of full business at this season. Two influences of tremendous power contribute to the rise, encouraging crop news and confident replenishing of stocks which have been for two years depleted to the utmost. Excepting too heavy rains in Texas, crop reports this week have been highly encouraging. Future injury to cotton cannot be predicted, but as yet nothing indicates a yield below 7,500,000 bales, which would not be supposed to threaten famine if the commercial and mill stocks were remembered, now exceeding by 2,500,000 bales a full consumption until September Ist. Receipts continue small, and consumption close to the maximum here and abroad, though the marketing of British goods is not entirely encouraging. Reports from spring wheat States and from the Pacific coast are so cheering that, although the loss of winter wheat was large, those whose estimates have been most accurate in recent years now vary in predictions Electreprise Shall we mail you (free) an illustrated booklet that gives the theory, results and price of this new Oxygen Home Treatment?

Y. oooooooooooooooooooooooooo orders, and others which have been idle for Railroad stocks have grown slightly in Bradstreet's, New York week The feature of the business of iron have enjoyed the unusual distinc- New York Tribune The brighter crop prospects, which have stopped the rise in cotton and wheat, have stimulated trade and industry in almost every branch. Thus the most experienced Western observers note a marked improvement in the demand for goods and in replenishment of dealers' stocks, which halted for a time when the great crops were considered in doubt. Naturally the industries are helped by this enlarging demand, the more as it comes at a time when business usually relapses into midsummer dullness. Signs of the customary shrink age are not wanting, but are this year modified by the continuance of demand beyond its usual time. The manufacture in this country is thriving, and further advances were recorded last week in many kinds of goods. A few strikes interfere, but on the whole surprisingly few. The woolen mills are also working out of their labor difficulties, and the demand for goods looks a shade better. The remarkable movement in iron and its products does not abate. Although sterling exchange stands at the_shipping point for gold, none goes out. The stock market has not been particularly active, though Granger stocks are strong, and the average is precisely the same as a week ago. British Investments in "Americans " The Forum, New York, June. Excerpt Human sentiment has its tides, like those of trade. People cannot or will not stay pessimistic long. For two weary years we have been hearing of nothing but loss and disaster; after such a prolonged strain trifles light as air are seized upon as strong confirmation of the hope for better prices in the near future, and the tide of sentiment turns. Our London friends since 1892 in a panic of fear have been sending back to us large amounts of bonds of whose security and safety there could be no reasonable doubt. It was foolish, but the tide was running that way and nothing could stop it. Now that British sentiment is changing, these same English friends who would not hold "gilt-edged " bonds are buying millions of shares of American railways, a good part of which in the slang of Wall street are "cats and dogs," shares considered by us as almost worthless intrinsically and selling at nominal prices, whose purchase no responsible American banker has recommended. It is possible that this buying of lowpriced stuff-which has its humorous side in the light of recent history-will prove profitable as a speculation. Since the Baring liquidation, in 1890, capital has been accumulating in London and in continental cities awaiting investment. The owners are tired of holding it unemployed. Meanwhile the craze about gold-mining in Africa furnishes an illustration of what vested more than $600,000,000 in African may happen. The English people have inmining, on which the expected returns in 1895 will not exceed 2 per cent. So great has been the excitement, begun more than a year ago, that the description Kaffir Gold and Silver Production R. E. Preston, Director of the Mint, has made his report on the world's output of the precious metals for the calendar year 1894. He estimates the total gold product to have been 8,780,518 fine ounces, valued at $181,510, 100, as against $158,836,000 for 1893, an increase of $22,574, 100. The Director's estimate for the silver output is 165,918,338 fine ounces, having a coining value of $214,481,000, and a bullion value of $105,348,135, the average price of silver during 1894 being 631⁄2 cents.

The series will be issued under the general editorship of Professor G. R. Carpenter, of Columbia College. The first volume is Irving's "Tales of a Traveller," Why So Many Die of Lung Diseases From Dr. Hunter's Famous Book If people could be made to understand that lung diseases are never cured by medicines given by the stomach we should not find them wasting the precious months of summer, the most favorable season of all for curative treatment, relying on cod liver oil, hypophosphites, cough mixtures and tonics with creosote and the other rostrums in vogue. These at best are only palliatives. They have been employed for centuries without ever saving a case and yet sane people delude themselves into the belief that they will be cured by them. This is a fatal delusion. Another cause of danger is the popular belief that going to the country for a few weeks in the warm weather will stop disease in the lungs and give them back their health. It has no such power and has never accomplished that result in the past. It has been tried in all the climates in the world and the result has always been failure and disaster. The most the warm open air of the country ever does or can do is to benefit, for the time, the general health. It will not stop the chronic inflammation of bronchitis or catarrh of the lungs or kill the germs or heal the ulcers of consumption. As a treatment for any lung complaint it is a waste of time for which the patient must suffer dearly during the coming fall and winter. More can be done in a single month by rational treatment of the lungs in the early stages of disease than in six months after the disease is firmly established. And when disease is seated more can be done to cure it in a few weeks during the warm summer than in months after the broken weather of fall and winter is upon us. But alas people cannot be made to see this. When cure would be easy they will do nothing to attain it. During the most favorable season for cure they postpone treatment until everything is unfavorable. Few people need die of consumption if the bronchial and catarrhal conditions in which it arises were broken up, as they can always be by judicious inhalations. with an introduction by Prof. Brander Matthews, of Nothing can be done to save the lungs Columbia College, and explanatory notes by the from consumption or to arrest consumption The price of McClure's Magazine and The Cosmo- The experience of the profession throughafter it is set up, except by inhalation.

While such ideas prevail among the people there is little hope of lessening the number of cases of consumption, or of saving more than a moiety of those that could otherwise be cured easily. The specialist in lung diseases is powerless to prevent these follies. All he can do is to point them out and leave the rest to the sober reflection of those whose lungs are threatened. I have made diseases of fifty years, and my views are based on the breathing organs a specialty for nearly ample observation and long clinical experience. I know that consumption can always be prevented, and generally cured, if treated in time by antiseptic inhalants taken into the lungs by inhalation, and that there is no hope of cure from anything else known to medical science.
