concerning what he styles "The Piastre Question in Indo-China." Indo-China has to deal with much the same problem as have the English administrators in India, and what the rupee has so long been to the AngloIndian, the piastre is to those officials whose fate it is to be closely connected with Indo-China.

Yet a third article dealing with "France's Colonial Empire" attempts to give a forecast of the economical future of Martinique. The writer, M. Dassier, denies that there is the slightest necessity for evacuating the island. Martinique is now in a very peculiar position. Any and every experiment may be tried, and M. Dassier evidently believes that French capitalists might do worse than turn their attention to this most fertile spot, especially with a view to financing coffee estates. The island has always been famous for the excellence of its coffee and of its cocoa. There, as elsewhere in the West Indies, the abolition of slavery put an end to the splendid prosperity of the island. There now seems to be an idea of importing Chinese labor, and it must be admitted that the Chinaman, alone of human beings, seems dowered with a practical fatalism which makes him strangely indifferent to what the future may bring him. Two articles are devoted to Siam. The one by M. Savine describes at great length the character and nature of the Crown Prince of Siam, who is now visiting Europe; while the other is ominously entitled "Siam: the Coming Conflict."

Other articles deal with the Piedmont insurrection of 1799, a scientific mission undertaken by Dumas Père, "The French Theatrical Financial Crisis," and an amusing biographical sketch of the great Napoleon's somewhat foolish brother, Lucien.

LA REVUE.

CHÉRET writes with warm admiration in La Revue for July of the widely read and most influential Polish novelist and journalist, Alexandre Glowacki. Here, at any rate, is a modern writer, after reading whom we do not feel as if we "had been eating soap." Glowacki is far better known as "Bolesaw Prus." It is enough, says M. Chéret, to say these two words to a Pole for a broad smile to light up his face. He smiles first because he is devoted to Glowacki, and secondly because he remembers the genial Dickensonian humor of his many and widely read works-some fifteen or sixteen volumes. Glowacki's message to his countrymen is that this their light affliction endures only for a moment; it is but such as all great peoples must endure. It will not permanently affect their destinies. As for the eventual independence of Poland, Glowacki seems to consider it too obvious to be discussed. Besides writing tales and novels, he is a journalist of great distinction; and contributes to one of the most widely circulated Polish papers a brilliantly clever weekly chronique. In his understanding of human nature and delicacy of humor, M. Chéret would place Glowacki before Dickens. Unlike Gorky and Tchekhoff, he seeks for goodness and kindliness in life. Following this article is a translation of one of his stories, "The Spy."

THE PROGRESS OF SPELLING REFORM IN FRANCE. M. Renard, writing on spelling reform, says that delegates from the Higher Board of Education in France

and the French Academy are shortly to examine a project of spelling reform, supported by several well-known men of letters and grammarians. The chief points to be discussed are: (1) Frenchifying foreign words in common use; (2) unifying spelling; (3) simplifying double consonants, ph, th, etc.; (4) getting rid of double

consonants.

THE

THE DUTCH MAGAZINES.

HE most interesting article of the usual three contained in the current issue of Vragen des Tijds is that on "Insurance Against Being Out of Work," with special reference to what is being done in Ghent. This new form of insurance arose out of an exceptional crisis; and an attempt of this kind was made in Rotterdam some years ago, but was not successful, owing to difficulties and differences of opinion in the way of helping the unemployed. In certain towns in Switzerland an arrangement of this nature is in force; but in Ghent the idea has been carried out in a manner that appears to be satisfactory, and there is very little fear that the subsidy given to workmen's unions will lead to the demoralization of those assisted. The writer enters into details, and the complete article is worth reading by labor leaders and others interested in the question of the unemployed. The other articles are a learned dissertation on "Penal Law and Criminal Anthropology," and some remarks on "Letters of Multatuli and Huet."

De Gids opens with a novel by Augusta de Wit, "The Goddess Who Watches," to give a literal translation of the title. It is good reading. This is followed by an article on Mr. Hall as a minister, which will be chiefly interesting to those only who are associated with, or follow intimately, the political circumstances of Holland. The next article, according to a footnote, is rendered less interesting by the conclusion of peace in South Africa; it discusses the Boer Movement" in America, and gives reasons why Americans should be and are in favor of the Boers. "In no other country," says the writer, "is the will of the people more powerful;" and the will of the people in this instance, in his opinion, is in favor of freedom. The President and the Secretary of State are friends of the Boers because they are lovers of freedom. Dr. Singel's observations on oldtime traveling are pleasant and amusing reading, but there is not a great deal that is new to be said on the subject. Dr. Nieuwenhuis tells us of the increase of Dutch influence in Borneo; he describes the progress made with the tribes extending to Sarawak and elsewhere, and shows that the influence of Holland is certainly extending.

In Elsevier we turn at once to the article on Japanese printing, with its reproductions of pictures to be found on Japanese decorative papers and the like. A separate portrait of Professor Rosenstein, and a glowing sketch of the celebrated scholar, together with the customary character sketch of an artist of note, a short story, and other features make up an average number.

OTHER ARTICLES.

There is a review of Mr. Colquhoun's book "The "Mastery of the Pacific," a paper on the education bill, and another on Victor Hugo, in which the reviewer says that Hugo's great defect as a writer is that he cannot get rid of himself; in his dramas and his novels he cannot utterly lose himself in his creations.

TH

THE QUARTERLY REVIEW.

HE chief feature in the Quarterly Review for July is Mr. Swinburne's appreciation of Charles Dickens, which is quoted at some length elsewhere. The number opens with a review of the books describing the tour of the Prince and Princess of Wales round the empire.

The writer of the article "The Romance of India" reviews Kipling's "Kim," Mrs. Steele's stories, etc., but the only point in the article that is worth quoting is the concluding passage, in which he hazards the speculation that some day it may be said that the translation of the sacred books of the East in the nineteenth century marked the beginning of a new intellectual era, as the translation of the Greek writers did in the fifteenth century. Who can teli that in some mud cottage in a hamlet on the plains or a shepherd's cottage in the hills there may not at this moment be lying a babe from whose mouth some day will proceed that which millions will for ages accept as part of their guidance in the difficult journey of life?

There is an article on James Russell Lowell. The writer, probably from temperament or from religious prejudice, is unable to do justice to the most important part of Lowell's writings. But he is not without appreciation of his descriptive work. Otherwise he would not have written :

"What Lowell more or less did in all his activities was to extricate the finer creed of his forefathers from its coarser and more obsolete surroundings, and to ap

O'

ply the sturdy sagacity and strong moral sense, the shrewd humor, and deep, if limited, feeling of the old Puritan to the problems of his day. These qualities, he held, would enable them to guide the inevitable democratic tendencies into the paths of downright honesty and sound common sense, and encounter the danger of political and social materialism that threatens the faith in plain living and high thinking."

There is a very interesting article concerning the depth of the sea, which deals with the inhabitants of the ocean depths which lie deeper than three hundred fathoms. It is an interesting subject, and it is handled in an interesting fashion. The fishes which inhabit those great depths are the only living creatures that inhabit a changeless world. Climate plays no part in their lives, seasons are unknown to them, and they experience no change of temperature. The ocean depths produce no vegetation, and yield no food save that which descends to them from above. In that cold, still, and noiseless world monotony reigns supreme. Some of the fish go blind, others develop huge eyes, while a third class carry their own lamps with them. Many of them have enormous jaws, and some are able to swallow fishes much larger than themselves. Altogether the article makes one thankful that we were not born in "the dark, the utter dark, where the blind white seasnakes are. ""

There are several literary articles of more than usual note. In one the reviewer endeavors to revive the reputation of a forgotten poet, George Darley, who published his works between 1822 and 1841. Another literary arti cle of great length and importance is an attempt to give a critical estimate of the value of the work of the Italian poets of to-day.

There is an article entitled "The Efficiency of the Services," which declares that it is impossible for England to rest content with a system which produces an uneducated army, an ill-prepared navy, and an inadequately informed foreign office.

REVUE DE PARIS.

F the six historical articles in the Revue de Paris for July, the student will turn with most interest to the account of Rostopchine, the heroic Russian who is believed to have set fire to the town of Moscow rather than to let it fall into the hands of Napoleon and his legions.

The Napoleonic epoch provides the matter for three other articles. The first describes the elaborate arrangements, made in view of the elections of 1818, when the imprisoned Emperor was still adored in France, and when Louis XVIII. and his government ran every risk of seeing it proved to the world how little had been desired by the country the Restoration forced upon it. The second, entitled "Napoleon and the Popular Drama," shows how very important the great conqueror considered the amusement of the people. He always found time, even when actually engaged in a campaign, to concern himself with these kinds of matters; and by his special wish plays dealing with heroic episodes, of a nature to evoke the enthusiasm and patriotism of the spectators, soon took the place of the comedies of intrigue which had delighted the Parisians of the eighteenth century.

The letters of Mme. de Remusat, written between 1815 and 1817, though not directly concerned with Napoleon, give, of course, many amusing side-lights on the

Napoleonic era, especially of the kind of simple incidents laid in the provinces, and of the way in which the great events then shaking Europe were regarded by French provincials.

The centenary of Dumas Père has inspired M. Parigot to write a curious paper concerning Dumas' value as an historian. His latest critic claims that even if he concerned himself very little with historic accuracy, Dumas could certainly claim to have had an extraordinary degree of intuitive perception of ages other than his own. He possessed to a remarkable degree the power of reconstituting the mental atmosphere of an epoch. His heroes and heroines were intensely living creations-and this, whether they had had actual prototypes, or whether they were in very truth the children of his imagination.

concerning what he styles "The Piastre Question in Indo-China." Indo-China has to deal with much the same problem as have the English administrators in India, and what the rupee has so long been to the AngloIndian, the piastre is to those officials whose fate it is to be closely connected with Indo-China.

Yet a third article dealing with "France's Colonial Empire" attempts to give a forecast of the economical future of Martinique. The writer, M. Dassier, denies that there is the slightest necessity for evacuating the island. Martinique is now in a very peculiar position. Any and every experiment may be tried, and M.
