"Apes and Parrots," Mr. J. C. Squire's anthology of parodies, is reviewed on page 1.
There was never a society in the world so alive to all the humancr impulses as that of to-day.—Mr. A. G. Gardiner.
It is curious how few sailors can write or care to write. Captain Walter Manning, one of the best-known of the Union Company's officers, who died in Wellington this week, was an exception. Ho wrote excellently about his own profession. Papers that he had contributed to the Christchurch "Press" were reprinted under the title of "Above and Below tha Waterline," and we have always thought that in a larger community the author might have done more with his pen and received more encouragement. "Above and Below the Waterline" is well worth reading.
