The certainty nnd rpstfulncss of ,Tnnc
Austen is worth all the novels of ter
ror of her age baled into 0110 huge
packet. And it comes almost as a halm
nnd tin' nlleviatinn in thce dnj.s of
topsy-turv.vdeni te read n poet who
believes unaffectedly in (!ed nnd finds
it unneressar te punctuate that belief
with a big bass ilium.
WITH nil Mr. No.ves' felicity nnd
vnrietv of theme, his nden,uncv, the
snneness nnd justice nf his nttltude to
ward life and the elevated qunlltv of bis
sentiments, mmiccIv nnv thing is meie
striking than tlip technical excellence of
bis nit. In this ibiv of ja7. music, fu
ture peifedist art and spineless verse,
it is n been te have this skillful nnd
lensiitnninte vindicator in pi-actiee nf
the tiiiip-hnnnied giaees and benutics of
poetry whiih Mr. Neves insists nn
floating as an ait in wenls. Like every
tine nrti'l, he Ins extended trnditien
while nbseiving it and lie fully deserves
nil the praise that he has leceived for
his 01 iginalit and inventiveness in new
stnnas, his nnvil experiments (sudi
as rhvmcs en the liist word, single
wenl 1 ef rains and the like), and 11 fie
qiiently novel and clever ue of repe
tition and lefrain. Above all this
1 harming metrist has preserved the
melody of our beautiful I'nglish tongue,
giving it again and again new effects
and charmingly novel cadences. If it
is pleasant te turn from the cacophony
of much of our flee verse nnd ether te
the music of Mr. Nejcs, it is no less
a delight te come out of the gloom, the
black significance and enigmatic depths
of some of our contemporary poets into
the sunshine whiih illumes the spaik
ling world of Mi. Neves' wholesome
tanc.v. Come, lit us put our (iicstion (iicstien

The psspntinl value of "In tlip Track
of the Trades" consists in the fnct that
it Is n vivid and reliable description of
these things in which the little-known
Polynesian races differ from ether un
civilized peoples, customs which in an
other generation mnv have passed away.
The Mnrnuesans were the first reached
in the jncht cruise, te which we ewe
this weik. nnil it is a surprise te learn
thnt while of incempninblv line pbv
siipie, tliev are the fastest disappearing
of the p.eples nf the southern I'acllic.
Te nn a. count of their hunting exploits
is adle.l n leniarknble (hnptcr desciip

of the "1'iissien rin.v," in imitation of
that of Oberainineigaii, with photo pheto phote
giaphs of tlii.e of the leading bur
netii s. The Saine.ins were dcvetnl te
gar.iis of iriiket which lasted from four
te twelve da.vs and included nil the
males of two islands. In "charming"
Tahiti the most delightful experience
was in listening te their songs of the
nation mid wntihing t licit .d-inces.
While theie is much of greatest interest
in the deci iptiens of the natives of
llipse little-known islands and their
distinctive customs and amusements,
the vcr.v detailed accounts of the mini
ngement of the j.icht during its 14.01)0
mile cruise, in whiih tieiee gules were
ficfiieut, nre very hard reading nnd
often unintelligible te these igneiunt
of sailing teims. As, for instnnie. this
f.ut, "while the beat pulled oft shore
and dropped the stnrbe-iid nnclier the
pint was Inekeii out and (atted." Tlie
