"The Borrowed Baby,'' by Lillian
Brock. A quaint little story with a
decided moral, which Is, "Do not bor
row." Father and mother, little Jean
and Charlotte, the black mammy,
formed the Blaine family and were
designated by little Jean aa "Fadee,"
"Little Mm,'' "Olrlie" and "Cookie,"
and all lived together In a little house
canea ine "B-nive. Alter living in
this secluded .place for a long while
some neighbors, at lengin moved to
a vacant nouse across the road, which
very much distressed "Cookie," who
said, when she heard i the news of their
arrival: "Mis' Blake at the postoffice
saya it'll be nice for us to have neigh
bors: but I says no. There's sure to
be a pa'cel o' children, and they 11 gat
to runnln' over, here and allays wantfn'
to borrow. Oh, I know neighbors. Be
'hostile' to yer friends, says I. but
neighbors is dirrerent."
The pa'cel of children sure enough
arrived and just as surely the borrow
ing began, but It was confined, by no
means, to the new neighbors and the
family from the B-hlve were very glad
to have someone to borrow from ss
well as to lend to. But the borrowing
was not entirely or material things,
for with these came, at least on one
occasion, the borrowing of a good deal
of trouble, and a few anxious hours
with It, which added seat to the story.
It Is a sweet little tale Intended for
youthful readers. It Is attractively
bound and has a number of pretty

"The Breath of the Mountains." bv
Beverly Doran. This Is a collection of
unusually fine and meritorious poems,
the volume taking its title from the
first poem. This little poem Is but
two stansas long, but Is sweet and pure,
a veritable harbinger of those to fol
low. The poems would Indicate an ap
preciative and artistic temperament on
the part of the author, who repeatedly
makes the old masters, or their works,
the subjects of his song. In many of
tne poems there is also manifest the
most delicate and refined sensitiveness,
as, for instance, in the poem. "A Pres
ence, In the Room." while "The Winds
Are Sculptors of the Clouds." shows the
beautiful originality and vivid and pic
turesque Imagination. This poem was
written at 8t Morltz, Bwitserland, and
is certainly of. unusual merit. It Is
seldom one finds a collection of BO
poems that are so entirely good as this
volume has. The book Itself In a little

Is Just along these lines Mr. Monroe
Has written: he has aone liantiy into
Statistics, hut has dwelt at interestim
length on the history of Turkey.' whio
reaus iiae a great romance or neroio
Sroportions, tnougn or cruelty ana Dar
arlc splendor; he first, however,
straightens out the reader on hla geog
raphy of the country, which is quite
necessary for most people before they
will have a very clear conception of
What or where thev are readln about.
This is no reflection on the reader, for
Turkey baa changed the geography of
world, for as the author tells us In
'Europe and Asia more often and more
rapidly, perhaps, than any nation of the
hla preface that In less than three ceth
tunes tne propnet naa acquired seven
kingdoms or EuTooe. not to mention the
Immense territory of Asia, Africa and
the Mediterranean and within an equally
brief period most of these countries
were lost to the Ottoman power. The
author does not spare his criticism of
tne great .European powers mat nave
contributed to the delinquency of Tur
key in her attitude to other countries
or to her treatment of some of the prov
inces under her protection, as for ex
ample her disgraceful attitude during
the Armenian massacres. Mr. Monroe
quotes approvingly from Georges Dorys
in his "Private L,ire or the sultan wnen
he gives an account of, the relief that
came To the sultan who was about to
riee berore the threatening ships or Ad
miral Seymore. when he received the
assurance from Wilhelm of Germany
that he would stand by his friend Abdul
Hamid. He further says: "As an ad
ditional bit of evidence or4he sultan's
fear of the result of the Armenian maa-J
sac res, William Eleroy Curtis states
that he was Informed by a high author
ity In Constantinople that after the Ar
menian massacre the sultan, distributed
more than SI. 000.000 among the Euro
pean newspapers that treated him Kind
ly, and it must be remembered that Ab-du)-Hamld
Is not a spendthrift." The
author further states that It Is a mat
ter of record that after a fresh slaugh
ter of his Christian subjects and the
result causes a serious situation, "he
aimolv arants another profitable con
cession to some German syndicate as an
additional policy of Insurance against
I Intervention." Mr. Monroe gives a
graphic description of the women of
jrkey. concluding Dy saying: i mar
veled that Turkey could produce so many
Tu
rood men from a motherhood so stunted
and Impoverished in strength and moral
Vigor."
But the book Is not all severely crit
ical; the author sees many beautiful
things, ond what are not beautiful or
admirable he describes in such a lucid
and direct manner they become matters
or interest and education. Few booKa
on Turkey appeal more to the lay read
er than this, for it. is not pretentious
etnough to be history, end yet it con
tains just those things that will lnter-
lest people who want entertainment and
instruction ana wno roreswear nction.
The book Is exquisitely bound In
tones of gray with the mosque of St.
Sophia breaking through a cloud-like
"Out of the Depths," by Carrie B.
Vaughan. As the title would Indicate,
this little volume of poems is In minor
key. and they are almost wholly of a
devotional nature. In all of them the
Dootry la aood and the sentiment Is
elevating but the subjects, or. Indeed
the text as well, shows little original
thought, and less poetic Imagination
Borne of the ooems would make excel
lent devotional service if set to music
and they will probably sometime find
their mission in this Kind of work.

optimism may be too confident in
its niiln hypothesis to make aa effort
to help It along by personal assistance.
Half-blind optimism denies the exist

will not admit there la a shadow. It is
altogether unsympathetic with sorrow
because4 It denies that cause for aorrow
exists. Meliorism Is the rea

To attain the desired optimism the
author iaslsta that the only, requisite Is
perfect health and from this standpoint
he argues out his theory of what will
Insure this perfect condition of the hu

proper absorption of the food into the

Mr. Fletcher has been so Insistent upon
his Ideas and has given them such satis

pnrlments have added a new word
,'KItphrlalna'" to our vocabulary.

worth reading, for It la ths doctrine of

belief that every one can aee the bright

way, it is quite worth the experiment,

true things that will beneflt anyone to

"The History of the United States
Navy." by John R. Spear Thla volume
hlch waa brought out by Charles
Scrlbner's Sons the 8th of this month
contains not only a brilliant account of
the history of the navy in the past, but
carries the record right down to the
resent day, and is tne most compre
enslve and convenient of all stories of
th mvv. Mr. SDears. who is a well-
known authority on the subject and the
author or the nve-voiume stsnaara
"History of Our Navy," has told the
hero stories of the naval actions with
a Are and vigor which has rarely been
equaled. He gives a great deal of at
tention also to the facts and conditions
thatvbave from time to time created
fiubllc opinion in favor of or against
be enlargement of the navy.
"Songs of Many Days." by Florence
.vciii rim. awui nixiy pucma ru
contained in this volume, rew of tnem
exceedlnr In length a page, and they
are of all shades of merit some In the
first rank of excellence, some Indif
ferently good and a few that should not
'be given a place in a volume or as
much worth as this. The poems are
not. confined to any particular line of
thought or stvje. .but vary from the
touching and descriptive nature to the
humorous and nualnt dialect of the
Yankee. A number are devoted to spe
cial days and a few i to distinguished
people. In the poems there Is some
good original thought without, how
ever, much Imagination, the most of
them being of rather a practical nature.
The following little ouartraln entitled
"Edelweiss" shows more real poetic
fancy than Is displayed In almost any
of the longer poems:
"White In the silence of some heaven
ward Alps,
Like sacred crystals of a lover's tears.
They seem the ghost of blossoms which
have paled.
Pressed between leaves of long remem

went Into Parliament It was prophe

and that his imagination might be af

seems to have been only that he has
produced fewer wqrks and fewer stories,
and has become convinced that slower
production is better for his work. "Thi
