Stuart's Djapeppla Tabieu
He say*: "The patient was a man who had suffered to my knowledge, for years with dyspepsia.

"Although Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets ■re advertised and sold in drug stores, yet I consider them a most valuable addition to any physician's line of remedies, as they ar« perfectly hui mleea and can be given to children or invalids or in any condition of the stomach with perfect safety, being harmless and, containing nothing but fruit and vegetable essences, pure pepsin and Golden Seal.

«A Abort History ot the Saracens.” A re markable Imok In many ways 1* **A Short History of the Saracens," by Ameer All, author of "The Spirit of Islam," "Mohammedan I»aw,” "Ethics of Islam" smd other scholarly works, deaigned to ehwt light on questions which are of lnt<n»e Interest to. students of the ethical and rhllglous problems of the East. The present work', while It is able and acholarly and worthy of ail commendation on Its own merits, Is the mora to be commended as the work of an East Indian, educated In England, who has risen to a position of dignity In the British service. He is at present Judge of the High Court of Judicature at Ft. William. In Bengal. It may not be considered altogether strahge that a native of India should write such pure and scholarly English as is contained In this book, but m addition to this the work bears evidence that its author has been able to consult, in the original, the best books on his subject written by Germans. French and Italians. It Is evident also that the writer has complete command of Arabic. > It is remarkable that In the western ‘.world a knowledge of the. Saracens should be practically confined to specialists, while In India, a country which was at one time peculiarly subject to the influence of their civilization. It should be almost unknown. The conquests of the Greeks and Romans, their influence.on our civilization, their progress in the arts and architecture and In the science of government are made familiar to roost schoolboys; while of the Saracens, outside of Mohammed himself amj perhaps of Saladln, little is known. And yet. of all the older nations that have carried their arms across vast continents, that' have left ineffaceable marks of their achievements on the pages of history, and have enriched the world of thought by their discoveries.and speculations, the Saracens stand closest to us in regard to time. The work of Ameer All comprises an account of the rise and decline of tho Saracenic power and of the economic, social and intellectual development of the Arab nation from the earliest times down to the destruction of Bagdad and the expulsion of the Moors from Spain. H# outlines here the ethical and moral movement that led to the sudden rise and overflow of the Saracen race and their extraordinary growth and expansion; he depicts the remarkable process of evolution by which patriarchal rule developed Into Vine of the most civilized systems of government; he describes the machinery of their administration, the state of their culture in alt its phases, the condition of the people, the position of their women, their mode of life and finally the causes which brought about the collapse of their .wonderful civilization. The Koran is the source from which we get the early history of ancient Arabia, this containing much of the folk-lore of the country which the Arabs at all times were in the habit of handing down from father to son. The people whom It is Important to remember in tracing the Saracen nation tq its rise are the Arabs of Hijnz and Yemen, who made themselves so famous In the middle ages. It was the Yemenite Queen of Sheba who visited Solomon, and It waa against Yemen that ^•Jllus Gallue, the Roman Prefect of Egypt, moved to defeat toward the close of the fifth century. The writer condenses the early history of Arabia into very narrow limits, the entire Mohammedan period occupying but a few pages. On the death of Mohammed, the republic was formed, and then followed the war with Persia and the Romans, the conquest of Chaldsea and Mesopotamia, followed by the defeat of the Persians and the Romans, the conquest of Syria, Palestine' and Egypt. It was in the year 41. of the Islamitic era, fofinded by Mohammed, or in the year (561 A. D., that Muawlyah became the ruler of Islam; the fopnder of the Ommeyades dynasty, under whom the Saracen race, which had about completed the conquest of the westerly nations, moved eastward. The ‘ subjugation of northern Africa, including Tripoli, Carthage, Tangier and the entire coast from the Nile to the Atlantic, was completed within sixty years. Wherever they went the Sarpeens erected beautiful buildings, introduced various kinds of handicraft and otherwise mAterially improved the coun-
try.
It was at the opening of the eighth century that Musa, the viceroy of Ifrikia. received the Well-known message from the traitor, Cougt Julian, which brought on the Invasion of Spain. Ameer AH shows vividly the vast difference existing at that time between Africa—well governed, with life and property safe, and with a high state of civilization—and Spain, groaning under the iron heel of the Goth. It was in 711 A. D. that Tarik,'lieutenant of Musa, crossed the straits that bear his name to this day, and, tffter disembarking at Andalusia. met and defeated the armies of Spain In the decisive battle of Xeres! where Roderick, last of the Gothic kings, lost his crown and life. After this battle Tarik was reinforced, and soon reduced Malaga, Granada, Cordova, Seville, and finally the Spanish capital. Toledo. Musa then took ovpr command of his army, received tite submission of Sargossa and Barcelona, reached the Pyrenees and reduced the whole of Spain, Galicia excepted, to an Arab dependency.

the whole of France south of the Loire. For live centuries Spain remained an Arab country, and her language, literature and customs bear, even yet, the imprint of those who ruled her so long. Sicily too, Candla, Rhodes, Cyprus, Malta, Sardinia and even Corsica, with other Islands of less note In the Mediterranean, became, for a time, Arab possessions. At the close of the Benoo-Omeyyah dynasty, In 756. the Saracen empire comprised the whole basin of the Mediterranean, with the exception of its northern side; in Africa its only limits were the great central desert; in Asia, the plateau of Kobi and the Indus. Throughout all this territory the Saracen element has either remained predominant down td our time, or has left distinct traces of ita existence. The final expulsion of the Spanish Arabs waa not accomplished until the year 1610, and of this
expulsion Ameer All writes:

The author shows that the racial pride which caused the Saracen to look down on conquered nations, hla failure to recognise that mere justice never won the affection of subject peoples, caused his downfall. In Its examination of the progress of the Saracens, step by step, whether up or down, this book is most thorough. The preIslamlte period is dealt with briefly, but it is enough to make what follows clear; ■o with the work of the Arabian prophet The account of the Saracen* in northern Africa occupies a very small compass, and this is natural; for the glory of the j Fa Oroide* expired with them, and their 1 culture was stamped out, obliterated, forgotten, In the misrule of the later Mameluke*.

“The Capslna.”
E. F. Benson, son of the archbishop of Canterbury, has traveled a long road since he ffat came before the public with "Dodo." About a year ago he published "The Vin lave." a story of the Greek ^ rebellion of the early part of this century, which, besides being a most interesting story, had the merit of being historically true. His latest novel, "The Capsina,” Is
In effect a sequel to "The Vintage." It
opens In the little Greek town ot Hydra, "white-walled and trailing its skirts in tha
Aegean ” Here are a number of Greek clans, but the wealthiest and most Influential of them all is the clan of Capsas. The head of the clan. Nicholas Capsas, has died Just before the story opens, and the headship of the clan descends to! hla daugbvr Sophia, hereafter to be known as “the Capslna.” She is a ship-bulkier and a ship sailer; a magnificent girl with undaunted courage and yet every bit a wgm^n. At find the Capslna carries on a peaceful trade with her ship*, but when the revolution breaks out, end the Greeks determine to throw off the yoke of the Turks, she takes almost entire ccflTrge of the revolutionary forces in Hydra and It is her vessels which form the beginning of the little Greek navy. In “The Vintage” th,' principal character was a young Greek. "Little Mllsos," six feet tall, handsome and full of courage. It was he who had lighted the beacon fires calling the Greeks to afms; it w’as he who'had burned a Turkish ship of war. At the end of that story he had settled down and married his sweetheart Suleima. In this new story Mitsos sails over from Maina one day and meets the Capslna, who admiring the seaman's skill and. the handsome face of the lad offers him command of one of her ships. Of course, he accepts. He and the Capslna. together sail up and down the coast destroying Turks wherever they see them; fighting gallant battles vltb the Turkish cruisers and making their little fleet P source of terror to the Turks. Mltso s fghts always like a true man. but the Capsina la never behind him. She fights by^Jiis side always. They are together thus jfor months, and In all that time Capslna'S admiration for the lad had been growing, until at last she finds herself loath to part with him. She is in love. Then, one day. very carelessly, Mitsos mentions his wlfa Suleima and his little son, and thus the Capstna's dream is shattered. But In onie of the home voyages she Insists on going to Maina and seeing Suleima and the son of Mitsos, and she loves them both. I Then the fighting continues and Mitsos and the Capslna sail for Galadaxt. where they have been building a fort, and here they are left with a small force while their ship goes elsewhere. Then the Turks come on them, and there is a desperate fight, during which the Capslna becomes separated from her party and Is hemmed In in the powder-house. Here the Turks
seek to take her alive, and she, waving a farewell to Mitsos, fires her pistol into the
magazine and so makes an end of It all. The revenge that Mitsos takes Is horrible, but Just, and when it i* over, and the few remaining Turks have fled, Mitsos
calls bis men together;
"Come lads," he said, “we go to pray for the i,oul of the Capslna, and to give thanks to God for her"—and he clinched his teeth hard for a moment—"to give thanks to God for her preat deeds and her splendid and
shining
Incidental to the working out of this story the writer gives us a view of the land operations of the Greeks and the Turks, the siege of Xaupiia, the taking of Fortress Palamede and other operations. It ia a most stirring story and has decided historical value, (New York: Harper & Bros. Indianapolis: The Bowen-Merrill Company.)

The Nabob carries his dislike of hla nephew «o (ar that he marries and has a son. The Nabob's wife does not love him, but docs love another man. and Is also made love to by the graceless nephew.

“A Voyage to the Moon.”
It is perhaps Inevitable that since Rostand Introduced to the world that forgotten poet and swashbuckler, Cyrano de Bergerac, people should be interested In what the huge-nosed writer had done in letters. It will be remembered how, in the play, Cyrano, the hero, keeps De Gulche from entering the house where Roxane is being married by fascinating him with an extraordinary story of a Journey to the moon. That Rostand did not draw too severely on hts imagination for this trick of Cyrano's is evidenced by
the present volume, a translation of Voyage to the Moon,” written by the redoubtable Cyrano de Bergerac himself. The book was written about 1630, but was not published until 1655, the year after Cyrano’s death. There have been three translations of the work—one in 1660; the present translation, made by A. Lovell in 1(87, and one made in the eighteenth centbry by Samuel Derrick. This last is dedicated to the Earl of Orrery, author of “Remarks on the Life and Writings of Jonathan Swift,” and attributes Its “call from obscurity” to “ypur Lordship's mentioning it In your ‘Life of Swift’ as having served for Inspiration to 'Gulliver's Travels.’ " The present edition of Mr. Lovell's translation is illustrated with

It must not be imagined that Cyrano In this work is animated by the same spirit of fun that animated him when he related his fantasy to De Quiche. He Is a* serious in this work as any romance writer, and he lends an air of verisimilitude to his story that is to be compared to Gulliver’s account of his travels; to Defde’s imaginary voyages or to the exaggerated scientific romances of Jules Verne. In Rostand’s play. It will be recalled, when Cyrano tells De Guiche how to get to the moon, he says: “One way was to stand naked In the sunshine, in a harness thickly studded with glass phials, each filled with the morning dew. The sun in drawing up the dew, you see, could not have helped drawing me up, too!" In his book Cyrano thus explains his first attempt to ascend to heaven:. I olanted myself in the middle of a

dngutohed gUest who has repro such marvelous fidelity the
of
the
M4 An Hungarian Nabob." Authorities, among them Jeremiah Cdrtln. the translator of the novels of Stenklewicz. consider “An Hungarian Nabob" the masterpiece of the works of Dr. Mams Jokal. It was hailed in Hungary, on it* first appearance, some fifty years ago, a* a marvel of workmanship, and It has maintained its popularity ever since. It 1* translated into English now for the first time by R. Nlsbet Bain, who baa rendered several of Dr. Jokai’s novels into English. In this, as in some of hts other translartons. Mr. Bain ha* taken the liberty of omitting a considerable portion of the story, thereby making it more compact. and he hopes more acceptable to American readers. He has given this powerful romance an attractive dress in English, and he has retained, certainly, enough Incident and adventure to satisfy even the most hardened novel reader. The Nabob whose adventures are here related is an old but robust and eccentric nobleman, who is cured of roistering and drink-
who has reproduced with
...... fidelity the barbarous
manners of our ancestors.”
