A GERMAN DREAM.
The Figach, by quotation frond.

He turned round ungrily and growled out:

But after a few, jumutes' reflection, wishing to make an impression on those who had witnessed the scene, he ascended the bridge again, and, presenting the pilot with a box of cigars, said to him very humbly:
It is you who are the pilot." The second half of the book deals with the Crown Prince, and the impression left upon the mind after reading this biogra- phy is one of pity or contempt for tho character of a prince who might ow day have ruled over a healthy, happy empire... To quote the author's words:--
Such is the life of Frederick Wil- liam, the German Crown Prince. It is well filled, say some, but, one must add, well filled with shanie, with disgrace, and with crime." With his name, his authority, with all the means at his disposal, he might have accomplished a magnificent mission on earth. He did not wish for thất. He was not worthy of that. This Prince: might have deserved the renown of a good and loyal Prince; it was simple for him, But he has refused to fight against his instincts.
His aspirations led him neither towards goodness, nor towards simplicity, nor towards charity, nor towards humanity, but towards robbery, treason, enjoyment, and luxury,****
The Glory That Is France. By SIDNEY DAD Eveleigh Nash Company, Lomon, 3/6 Net.
It is refreshing in these days, when. we are surfeited with volumes of descrips five details of our barbarous neighbours, to turn to a survey of the glories that belong, to a nation that is fighting, and dying with us in the cause of liberty and freedots. Mr. Sydney Dark has s subject well in hund. His heart is in France and with the French. The differ ences that exist between the French point. of view and ours on certain mattery of domestic government he suggests, rather than saYS, are due to our national hypocrisy.

He tells us, too, that the is thoroughly practical. The average Englishman," he says, "is not distinguished by very definite politi cal ideas. He pays King Edward VII. a compliment: —
"The entente with France was pri marily the work, not of statesinen or poets, but of a kindly illusionless man of the world, who cordially disliked fuss and quarrels and bluff and ill manners. I do not suppose that King Edward VII. ever realized the completo splendour of France. He had discover- ed, however, that the French are courte ous and kind and considerate.
