PRACTICAL JOKING.
"Much of Life is Laughter," is the title of a book of memoirs from the pen of Air. Harold I*.. Gorst (George Allen and Unwin). It may be said"at onco that much pf Mr. (Jorst's life has been piactical joking, if his own account gives us a fair sample of his history. Oil the first page is an account of how Mr. Gorst, as a boy at Eton, pinned a towel inside a master's coat and then told him his shirt was hanging out; on the last page Air. Gorst's own chair slides away from under him as ho addresses tile girls at Roedean School. The pages in between are filled, not to say crammed, with similar incidents, and we commend this "volume to tlioswho like this sort of reading.
