We have the eternal Pyramids and the tombs. of the long dead Koyal race; the placid and monotonous Nile; but Pyramids, tombs, and Nile under the sway of a mightier potentate than Pharaoh, the world-girdling Cook, rather ordinary English girl whose first love has been lavished on an unworthy object, who, hai fled for frightened at the responsibility refuge to the ranks of the British Army. For no particular reason, the heroine seeks to Ascertain his whereabouts, meanwhile wreaking an unjust revenge for her fickle lover's sin on the unoffending hearts of inch other men as have the misfortune to care for her. It inm game at which the cleverest woman is apt to burn her fingers, he finds it so. "Calling to her aid in the search for Number One a major of a regimen: quartered in Cairo who has the reputation of being a confirmed woman-hater, she seeks to bend him to her sway. Being a misogynist he promptly falls in love with her-it being the duty of a misogynist on meeting the heroine. But at the same time she learns that Love is a double-edged weapon; and discovers in him her Number Two. With the distorted sublety of a woman in love she naturally pro: ceeds to weave a web of misunderstanding and unhappiness that wears exceeding well till nigh unto the end of the chapter. But the Pro- vidence that watches over the blind steps of lovers guides her safely through the Slaugh of Despond to the arms of Number Two.

ONE OF OURSELVES. BY MRS. 1. B. WALFORD. [London, Messrs. Longman's Green & Co., Hongkang, Messrs. Kelly & Walsh, Ltd.] A story that recalls the master-pen of Thac- keray in its acute delineation of English mid- dle-class character. The great Farrell family, followed in all its ramifications, is a clever study in the number and diversity of the vari ous personages that comprise the, to themselves, Almighty Guild. The satire is keen but not bitter, and as the tale unfolds is almost forgot ten in the vicissitudes of fortuna that befall the lovable but too-trusting heroine. The real nature of the villain cleverly dissembled until near the end; but the reader has an uneasy though apparently unjustifiable suspi- cion of him long before he is unveiled, and so applauds his own discernment at the denoue
ntent.
The blundering but well-meaning Mrs. Tom, the arch-priestess of the great Farrell cult, will
make many friends.
The book at first promises to be more a novel
Nor are the male characters much better. The curate is well-drawn but presents such a disagreeable picture of selfishness and arrogant conceit that we marvel at the heroine's blind- ness to his faults; and we regret whatever good fortune falls to his lot in the course of events. Jim Trent is an amiable nonentity who deserves. Kergohet brood. The one redeeming character shines resplendent against the dark back ground provided by his fellow-puppets, but has
no better luck than to marry one of the
heroine.
Yet with such unpromising material the authoress creates a good story; and though our sympathies are but seldom with the dramatis personale, yet we watch the progress of the drama with interest.
THE LETHAL CHAMBER.. HEREDITY AND HUMAN PROCRISS. BY W. DUNCAN- MCKIM, M.D, PH. D
NEW YORK AND LONDON, G.P.Putnam'è Sons, 1/6. Under the title "Heredity and Human Pro- gress," the author, W. Duncan McKim, M.D., introduces the subject of his book with the following apology: Profoundly convinced of the inefficiency of the measures which we bring to bear against the weakness and depravity of our race, 1 venture to plead for the remedy which alone, as I believe, can hold back the advancing tide of disintegration." The remedy which the doctor holds out as the friend of man- kind is the lethal chamber, which he recom- mends should be used as a means of ridding the world of all drunkards, criminals, or any human beings of any age or sex who suffer from moral or physical weakness, and who may reproduce their infirmities by heredity to posterity. We are pot in a position to say if Mr. McKim is so conceited as to believe that he is so near perfection that the machine would have no use for him, but the mass of mankind.
Sergeant Sullivan and some other detectives were soon put on his track, owing to reports from the Canton man, and also the Lee Yuen Street man. They found that the man had taken passage to Manila, having taken first class tickets for "Mr. and Mrs. John. Lee." Boxes for both were on board the Loungrang but they were removed to the Central Police Station. At about 9 pm the sergeant with the complainant from Canton saw the "John Lee

Of course the man was highly in- dignant at being charged with fraud and be returned with the sergeant to the Central Station. When charged in the charge room by Inspector McNab, the man said "I de cline to answer. I am an officer and a gentle- man, and an American doctor at that? In answer to a question as to whether he belonged to the American Navy or not, he

And who would be the Who the referee whose decision would be final? Any scheme approaching the suggestion of Mr. McKim would certainly provide the opportunity for untold crime, and, would as certainly be taken advantage of Natural selec- tion and natural laws will in time effect quietly that which the doctor would try to do by force and human agency. Unless Mr. McKim con- siders himself equal to the task of judging all mankind, we don't think he will find anyone else likely to attempt it. The book has been written to urge the adoption of a scheme which the author (unless he is demented, and a fit subject for his own experiment) well-knows to be absurd and impossible. Either it is a grim joke, in which few people will see much humour, or it is written as an advertisement. If the latter, why not have called it "The Chamber of Horrors?

However, yesterday morning.

This settled the matter, the officer of the ship saying that if such an offence had come up in the States he would not have got off lightly,
The man was then brought back to the
