This, the latest of the kind, is edited as regards its literary contents by Stanley Portal Hyatt, and as regards its art portion by Alfred Prage.

Without any tench of prudery, we hope, wo who live within the Empire of to-day hare reason to express thankfulness that during the past century the Court has boan clososed of ita coarseness, and the life of the prople, even if below the surface there is much to regret, much to condemn, is cleaner than it was in the time of Charles. The country owes much to Quee Victoris, and there is nothing more certain than this, that the loyalty to the throne so conspica- ously displayed during the past few months is largely due to the obaracter of the King and his Royal Consort and the belief thattheir domestic virtues mirror the life of their people and of their timos. Miss Senior's pages are full of interest, Her pen is graphic; her research is svident, but not too obtrusive. Of all the King's favourites, poor Nell Gwyn is, por haps, the least objectionable. Tho, authorers does not seek to palliate her conduct, but there is, nevertheless, a touch of kindliness in her references to the wildosi orenture that evor was in a Court." Anyone who wishes to read of Charles and his courtiersand courtesans will find this book absorbingly interesting, and. their appreciation of the printed page will be snhanced by the excellent portmits of byegona celebrities,

In Fear of a Throne. By R. ANDOM. London:

Stanley Paul & Co.

No one who has read "We Phrvo and Troddies will require to be told that R. Andon kes a humorist, with a rare imagination and a belter command of pure English than the average novelist of the day. He has set himself to write what is nothing more or lewe thau a Burlesque of "The Prisoner of Zoada,” and the result of his ingenuity is a lappy blond of Anthony Hope. Stanley Weyman and Mexi Pemberton in their most ingenious and imagīts" tive woods. The four friends, released from their office stools for the customary summer holiday, project a cycling tour of a petty European State. Troadies bears a striking resemblance to the weak-minded prince of the blood, the heir to the throne. The king is on his death-bed, and political intriguo is busy as to his successor Troddloske mistaken for the prince, is kidnapped and carried off to an almost imprg noble castle, where most of the action takes place. Thero

comic-opera prime minister, in intriguing princelet, a duke, two besatiful princesses, and a most fuccinating, if mysterious, Yankee-with. the usual accessories-and as the three tourists are loyal to Treddles and stick by him through all his porile-not the least being an attempt to set him on the throne-it may be imagined that they have a most interesting holiday. The story is prefaced, we may remark, by a quotation from H. A. Giles' “Chiang Tax," and it in. profusely and well illustrated by GW. Wakefield,

The White Out. By Kare Hors. Londen,

Stanley Paul & Co.

The proem, to this story recalls the obscicul story of Demeter and Perseploun. It is a delightful tale of love, written with charming grace, and gripping the interest from start to Suish. Opening in a fashionable house in Clarges Street, the scene soon shifts to a farm house in Lincolnshire, and then the reader is taken to the sunny slopes of Sicily, where the modern Demeter a writer of prose poems, is joined by her | beautiful daughter, the Persephone and the heroine of the tale. But it is not merely an exposition of the re-birth of a mother's love. There are several comples to be paired, and yet there is no sense of bewildermont, no aggravat. It is a smoothly ing analysis, no involved plot. written story, perhaps somewhat. Idyllic for these bumdrum times, but instinct humanity and

PROVED

IT

That dandruff, itching scalp, and falling hair are caused by a germ or parasite is now recognized by dermatologists everywhere.

À noʻable demonstration was by Drs. Lassar and Bishop, who took dandruff scales from the head of a student who was losing his hair, and, having mele a pomade of them with vaseline, rubbed the same upon a guinea-pig, and the pig became bald. (Bee Geo. Thomas Jackson, M.D., on diseases of ekin, 4th edition.)
