Mr A. 0. Benson's long promised monograph on Walter Pator my be looked for shortly. It ought to prove, both in the personal and critical sense, of tuf common interest, for fow men are better qualified than the author of "The Isles of Sunset" to do justice to so rich and subtle
personality. Mr Benson's younger brother, by the way, Father Hugh Benson, is bringing out, this week, n now historical. romance, entitled, "The History of Richard Raynal-Solitary," a recluse of the reign of Henry VI,, who was neither "monk, friar, nor clerk." The book is said to be both dramatic and mystical.
Messrs A. and C. Black are bringing out a new Medical Dictionary," intended for quick reference in the household. It is edited by Mr J. D. Comrie, a well-known physician, who assuredly has many quali fication for the task. We learn that the work is to be in appearance like the same publishers' popular work of reference, **Who's Who," but it is to be illustrated. The aim is to give a general view of medical science and treatment, stripped of all tech nical expressions.
We are promised a biography of Walt Whitman. The writer is Mr H. Bryan Binns, and the publishers Messrs Dutton, of New York. There was a good deal of coarse clay in Walt Whitman, and no-lack of noisy, rant. But that he was a true poet and a man of vision is not more open to question than that he was an Americati,
a great-hearted lover of humanity. A's a human document, as well as poet, Whit man is an extremely interesting study, and one to which we hope Mr Binns will do justice without recourse to the unbridled CO. superlative mood which has been the bane
of eerlier appreciations.

whose sudden death last year in the prime of life was a distinct loss, not merely to a wide circle of personal friends, but to the whole world of letters. If "Points of View" proves as good as a similar collec tion of papers which Mr Austin himself published just ten years ago, entitled "At Random," it is certain to make for itself a wide welcome...
"Famous Court Beauties of the Restora. tion" is the attractive title of a book which Mr W. R. Trowbridge has written.

A bold departure is to be made by Messrs. George Newpes. They propose to issue the first edition of a new novel by one of the most popular-of living writers, Mr Eden Phillpotts, as change for the nimble sixpence. The same firm is also bringing out at that modest price Mr Rider Haggard's most popular novels. This is on appeal to the multitude which it is to be hoped will be duly rewarded.

The Scottish Association team that played Wales at Tynecastle was a dismal failure. Although Wales defeated Scot. land last year by three goals to one, that was in Wales, and at the time it was considered a surprise victory, which the Principality could hardly, expect to repeat, The idea of Scotland. being defeated at home wan BO apparently preposterous that it was hardly thought of, yet the unexpected has once more happen- ed. Nor can Scotland onter, on this eccasion the mitigating ples of misfortune; her team was beaten by a better, the game ending in favour of Wales by 2 goals to nil.
*Then her grandmother advised her to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, which she did. The result was truly wonderful. Daily she grow brightor and stronger; the attacks of faintness left her; she began to enjoy food, and was no longer shot of breath. After a fow bottles she was per- fectly well-strong, bright, and activo. Now she does not need the pills,
Mr Burn added enthusiastically:
• It's a wonder we did not have to take her to the cemetery, but now she is as strong as sho looks.'
