The Judgment House--A Novel by Sir (albert Parker--The Copp, Clark Co., Toronto, : An intensely interesting book is Wis uew wuves by ue 1wmous Cana- dian author, Sir Gubert Parker. It has been some years now since he aas produced a book, but this one was wed worth waiting for. It is, w.thout doubt, his masterpiece so far \s il surpasses even "The Right of Way," "The Weavers," and the "Seats' ol the Mighty." "The Judg- ment House" is a story of interna- tional interests. The destinies of nations are interwoven with the lives of the two heroes--one a millionaire, a ploacer of the Cec] Rhodes type; the other, a diplomat, with his finger on the puise of the world. The her- oine, like Cleopatra, influences the careers of empire-builders +&y her becuty and her cleverness. The scene is laid in London at the time of the Jameson raid in South Africa, and the consequent result, the Boer war. Rudyard Byng had returned to Eng- land after amassing a fortune on the Rand, where the upr sing seriously threatened his holdings. lan Staf- ford, of the Brit foreign office, cherished Frome sitions to serve fis country onva grand scale. Both men were in love with Jasmine Gren- fel, a beautiful and accomplished girl who broke her engagement to the diplomat to wed the mill onaire. Her infatuation for the former affords the subject for many an interesting chap- ter. By her aid Stafford was enabled to form an alliance with powerful European nations. which left Eng- land friee to deal with the Boers without fear of interference. His in- tolerable life at home, strengthened b the lure of the old, free South Af- r can life of the plains and hills, com- pelled the millionaire to go to the front as head of a cavalry regiment. Stafford, to escape the meshes into which his love for his friend's wife had led him, enlisted also, and in an heroic charge against the Boers. he fell. Jasmine had also gone out as a nurse, and the tragic battlefield be- came the scene of a reconciliation be- tween the estranged couple. The story is brilliantly told. It holds one's interest enthralled throughout. At times it 's intensely dramatic. One realizes that Parker's his next took will not be so long de- layed as this. THE BLUE WOLF. The Blue Wolf, 8. W. Lacey Amy, The Musson Book Co, Ltd, Toronto. "The Blue Wolf' is a love romance of an Alberta prairie ranch. .It is the tale of a Toronto "Varsity gradu- ate, who married the most poplar girl at college, and settled upon a lonely western ranch.. He was one of a quintette of lively students who had formed a firm friendship. They had all loved the same girl, but McTavish had won her hand and heart. Later he grew jealous of his friends, and while visiting 2t the ranch, each met mysterious deaths. The story introduces the "Dreamers," a fanatic religious so- ciety, at enmity with all who oppose them McTavish, for his own pur- poses, allied himself with their leader. The "Dreamers" had a secret place in the Cypress Hills, and here their strange religious rituals were practised. McTavish's jeal- ousy has anected his mind, anl in his madness he planned to destroy the last of. his college chums, whe had come on a visit to the ramch. So he lured his friend to the top of the mountain, where in a grotto, McTavish had constructed an imnstru- ment he called a reflectophone. He had Miscovered the secret of sound direction. He could collect any sound, magnify it many times, throw it against the reflactors, and tum them in any direction he pleased. Thus he had been enabled to produce the hideous cry of a dying wolf which had brought fright to all on the plain. Thus, also, in collusion with Maskin, the leader of the "Dreamers," he had reproduced a voice that aftrighted his followers and kept them in subjection to his will. McTavish"s work was done, and he pitched the machine over the ledge to smash on the rocks below. Then, in his madness, he seized the last of his Mttle band of friends, intending to 'hurl him over the ledge to death But, during the fierce struggle that ensued help came in the form of a corporal oi the Mounted Police and his friends, and the intended victim was rescued. Of course, there are several love stories mixed up with the other events, a touch of cowboy celer, and glimpees of the good work accomp- dashed by 'hat splendid body of men, the Northwest Mounted Police. "The Blue Wolf" is a wierd story, con- | taining good descriptive writing and seme or lliant dialogue, Possibly it would avpeal more strongly to , western Canadians, on whede broad { praitics (he secs are laid. { The author 's a former Sydenham, Oni. boy who has had wide experi- ence in the west.

Toronte Globe. 3:1 he gulls we have always with us, but their graceful authigs. jn pear! and while and their easy cou through jealm and storm insure a perpetual welcome. They beckon toward the shore, where the whistlewings and piuchills gather in large flocks on the turbid water recently clezved by the storm. There are a few sawbills in the flock, but interest centres in the hali dozen mallards that keep apart from the winter ducks, as if to call attention to their amnouncement ol spring. They have come from th milder south with their most, welcome message. On the shore the message is more eagerly proclamed by threo kildeer, -vunning along so burriedly that their slender, stilted legs ave in visible. Their double breast-bands oi black distinguish them among the plover family as they pause to pick hurriedly among the winter's refuse on the sloping sand. Un peprer ap proach the reddish-brown on then biwcks is visible. They show a ten dency to hide behind the low willow bushes, already turning pale yellow, in preparation for the great awakeping. {it is a double assurance to hear th familiar, startled call as the Kildeer [ake wing and pass with undulating strokes over the disturbed water. These shore-waders make an unrea soning response to the wigrat ng im: pulse, and reach the southern extrem: of continents, ity of our pair ever bevond civilization's destructive ad vanve. Another voice of spring, the call ot 'the song-sparrow, rises from the lbushes that sheltered the kildeer on the shore. There is life im th: bushes, the little, grey, moving forms ! appearing momentarily, and retreating out of sight. Song-spatrows and tree-sparrows are freely associating among the «close twigs of the wil lows and making their way along ths shore as if by a common purpose ol J understanding. Less timid and more tolerant than the kildeer, a robin, big and rich in spring plumage, hops along the shore where they took Hight. He darts his hungry beak into the wet | sand with that happy confidince fam- iliar on our lawns in summer morn- ings. few shrill syllables come famtly overt the water from the island of dead rushes. the redwings can be seen rising momentarily in spasmo- die fight against the grey back- ground of the lake and settling out of sight among the withered tufts and masses. They must be guthering the seeds of the water plantain and other weedy aquatic growths. By a way- ward impulse they move irregularly} along, as if determined that thar rich contrasts of scarlet and jet shall be seen and admired. In graceful silence thyee grebes swim into the restricted open from behind a point of matted marsh grass, Their appearance is the surprise of the day. They are Hoelbell's grebes, the giants of this strange family, which com- bines the habits of the bird and the aquatic reptile, Their gracefully- curved necks show the red tints of spring, and as one turns to preen the feathers of his back with his long, vel low bill he displays the pearly. gloss of his breast. In the exviting advent of these distinguished visitors the two-horned larks, friends oi the lone ly winter, following their crouching, devious, parallel courses among the stones, are almost ignored. SEA TURTLE WAS USED. By 15th Century Medicos to Cure Leprosy. A French historian, in connection with the alleged cure for tuberculos- is now being advanced by Dr. PF. F, Friedmann, calls attention to the lit tie-known fact that the medicinal use of the sea-turtle is by no means of recent date. : On July 8, 1483, King Louis XI. of France sent George the Greek, mas- ter mar ner. to the Cape Verde Islands to seek "various things touch ing nearly to the well-being and health of out person." The Cape Verde Islanders had the reputation of possessing, a cure of leprosy, a re port of which had been brought back to France by a traveller from the coast of Guinea at about the time King Louis was in declining health According to the recital of this tra veler, the bg sea turtles were caught Ly the islanders when {hey came out on the beach at low tide to feed. They were at once killed, and their bloed caught in large tubs Persons afflicted with leprosy bathed in the blood, and afterwards ate of the turtle's flesh. This treatment was kept up for two years, al the end of which time the patients were usually completely cured of the dreadful disease. This record would tend to show that Louis XI. was a leper. That such was the case had been rumored by chroniclers. but the reason of the expedition to the Cape Verde Islands | now publiched for the first time. throws much light on the psycholozvy| of Louis XI. his ill-humor, and his sedulous avoidance of mavkind dnr- ing the last days of his life, The wretched man evidently believed himself smitten wth leprosy, He was. however, never fated fo test the efficacy of the sea-turtle remedy, for he died August 30. 1483, before the return of the expedition. ~---- | ------ Frank Black's Favorite Poem.

[Taf Kidney and Bladder trouble may quickly bring you to the sad state Alex. W. Stevenson was in, He was an invalid using a crutch and cane for sixteen months. In this state he sought and found relief in GIN PILLS. Now he goes shooting and fishing as of yore. The first state leading to the invalid's bed may be the very time when you recognize the first symptoms of Kidney and Bladder trouble, when you have constant Headaches, Pains in the Joints, Swollen Hands and Ankles, frequent desire to urinate. Jt may be when you feel the urine hot and scalding or when you have specks floating in front of your eyes. These are the times when the marvelous results of GIN PILLS are appreciated. These are the very periods when they should be used. Don't + wait for repeated occurences of these signs. Take GIN PILLS at once. Keep the invalid's bed as far away as possible. Get close to the health which allows you to enjoy your outdoor life, and which inakes your indoor time also a pleasure. PrRTH, N. B. For two years I was an invalid, incapable of work of any kind, sixteen months of this time I was unable to move without the assistance of a crutch and a cane, During thistime I was treated by all our local doctors as well as taking treatment from a specialist in Chicago, but did not improve any, and had about given up hope of ever being of any use again, when a friend advised me to try GIN PILLS. This I did, and with a two months treat- ment was as well as ever I was. This was four years 0, and 1 have had no return of my trouble since. \ I still use a box or two a year as a preventative and am enabled to go fishing' and shooting in the Spring and Fall, and lay out on the ground at night without any inconvenience.
