ILLUSTRATED, $1.50 121 Harper Brothers NeLtT The notices of THE FIRESIDE SPHINX." Bj Agnes Rcpplier. Mlss Agnes Repplier, the essayist is the author of a new book about to which ebc has given tho title, "Tho Fireside Sphinx," which has recently been published with almost the bravery and decorative lavlslmess of an edition de is supposed to bo inspired by a profound regard for the cat. as a household pet, and to present the subject from the historical, estheti cal and reminiscent side. The author is understood to be inspired with a deep regard not only for her own fireside pet, but for the race in general.

From a literary standpoint, it is a charming and a delightful book, but there is about it a certain subtle quality which impresses one with a feeling that the author is writing rather from acquired knowledge than from a and intimate affection lor cats. Her attitude strikes one as critical, rather than warmly appreciative. Now, this may be due to the fact that Miss Repplier cannot approach any subject sufficiently important to bo embalmed in letters, without unconsciously assuming a critical attitude. She is unable to slight or overlook tho shortcomings of the cat, because, perforce, in this relation, "she is oppressed with the sense tha't she must do her whole duty by the reader must put into the matter the shadows as well as the lights of cat character. This is to be expected from one whose writing always betrays the author's possession of that uncomfortable heritage, a New England conscience.

Now, a person who really lOvcs a cat wholeheartedly is absolutely blind to defects, and when they are mercilessly forced on one's attention, they continually go about seeking excuses for the guilty. one. Miss Rep plier's acute Sense of justice does not permit of any such leniency. She may forgive, but she cannot forget. The "subject is approached from the viewpoint of history and literature rather than from affection's side.

It is the book, of the literary woman and the historical student instead of a lover of this four footed companion in whose eyes a cat can do no wrong. Her treatment of the theme. In a word, is historical and ethical rather than human. At times there are lapses; she forgets that cats are to be studied dispassionately and really writes as one given over to the bonds of affection for the "Sphinx." Such a mood finds expression in the "foreword," in which the author really abandons the reins of restraint upon the neck of impulse, and allows the steed enthusiasm to gallop as he will. She has been speaking of the famous and sainted cats of history those wondrous animals whose memories have been enshrined in letters, and which are as much a heritage 06 the ages as Pegasus.

Then she says: "Into this august assembly, into this sacred circle, I fain in moments of temeritv would introduce a little shade who stole too soon from the warm sun, and from the simple Joys of life. She was dearly loved and early lost, and the scanty honors years of toil have brought me I lay at her soft feet for entrance fee. May Hodee and Hinse champion her cause with the Immortals for the sake of the unfaltering love I have ever borne' their masters, and mav her grace and fnr 1 beauty win for her what my poor pen is pow erless to attain! Dear little ghost, whose memory nas never faded from my heart, accept this book, dedicated to thee, and to all thy cherished race. Sleep sweetly in the fields of asphodel, and waken, as of old. to stretch thy languid length; and purr thy soft contentment to the skies." That is the way to write about cats if one wishes to be convincing.

The difficulty Is, that literary consciousness soon recovers control. The result is academic rather than inspirational. Miss Repplier is a delightful essayist, possesses a charming and cultivated style, a little cold, possibly, at times, but always faultless in manner and method. The book as a whole is a clever mosaic. Wo have a chapter on the cat of antiquity, another on the dark ages, others on the cat in persecution, the cat of Albion, the cat in art, the cat triumphant, some eats of France and the cat of to day.

Even in the chapter on modern cats we find almost as much about what others have said of cats as what the author herself thinks. The book is really a compendium of cat lore, and it ought to be interesting and informing to those who want to know about the cats of history and tradition and to read what famous men have said and thought of their pets. The book is illustrated by E. Bonsall, and is printed and bound in handsome style, affording a tasteful example of elegant book making. It should meet the wishes of seek HOME FOR THE BLIND BAZAR.

Women's Board of Managers Gratified Over the First Day's Success of the Entertainment. The women's board of managers of the Industrial Homo for the Blind are much gratified at the genorous patronage on the first day of the bazar, which opened yesterday and is to continue this afternoon and evening in the institution building on Gates avenue. It is expected that the net proceeds will do much toward placing the institution on a self supporting basis, which is the ultimate result aimed at by the philanthropic men and women interested in the welfare of the home. Sympathetic visitors attended the bazar in largo numbers yesterday afternoon and evening, made generous purchases and availed themselves of the other methods afforded of contributing to the pecuniary welfare of the home and inmates. After patronizing the pretty and well stocked booths located in the home building proper, many of the visitors inspected the factory where the inmates, under the direction and instruction of President Eben P.

Morford, himself connected with the institution since he was 18 years old, were s'een working cheerfully at their tasks of broom and mattress mak ine and chair caning. Liberal orders were left by many of the visitors, several of whom, impressed by what they saw of the practical nf thn institution's mission, returned to tho bazar and further helped to replenish Its treasury. The bazar has many novel and attractive features. No soliciting is indulged In by the attendants and It appeared last evening as if none was necessary, judging from the frequent sales and consequent exchange of money and articles. Notwithstanding the encouraging nature the opening dnv's business the ladies interested iu the nroject hope for still belter results.

A large sum of money is needed to accomplish the end referred to above, as well as for other legitimate purposes in connection with the operation of the Institution. There are vet thousands of blind persons whom the home is unable to care for, excellent as is tho work at. present being accomplished. Among the articles displayed at the buztir were several beautiful hand worked and paiute'l lounge cushions and a handsomi. automobile doll, which' attracted especial attention.

The most popular novels in England this month appear to be "The Eternal City," "Sir Richard Calmady," "Trlsam of Blent," "Herb of Grace," and "The Secret Orchard." A MISSISSIPPIAN. Frank A. Montgomery was lieutenant colonel of the first Mississippi Cavalry, Armstrong's Mississippi Brigade, and a member of the state legislature.

He has furnished "Reminiscences of a Mlssisslppian. in Peace and War," and has dedicated it to his old comrades who still survive. He says in his preface, "it has been my fortune to have for seventy years in my native1 state, Mississippi, and until within the last few months, to have led an active life, from boyhood to my present age, never some occupation which was congenial to me. But time which has brought me age has aiso brought me leisure, and I have availed myself of it to write my recollections of so much of the war between the 3tates in which my own immediate cavalry command took part. In the following pages, however, I have not confined myself to this, but have allowed my memory to carry me back to the days when I was a young man, and to speak of Mississippi life as It then was.

So also I have dwelt upon the reconstruction era in the state and brought my memoirs down to the present time, with however, only a passing reference to the civil offices I have held. So far as the war is concerned I have felt It almost a duty, it certainly has been, a pleasure, to recall the incidents of that stirring time and to' rescue from oblivion, as. far as I can, the names and deeds of some Mississippi soldiers and commands, to whom history in the state has done but scant justice."

Mc Kenzle. According to tho author of "The American Invaders," we are a better educated people than the English; our climate makes keener men; wo work longer; we are ever willing to receive new ideas, and we are free from hampering traditions. These things are pleaded by Mr. McKenzie in extenuation of Britain's fall before the onslaught of American business men. Whether, given the same conditions, England could cope with us is a very serious question and had, best not be discussed.

But, meanwhile, it is interesting to peruse this series of papers on American mistrial supremacy in England.

The preamble points out that hitherto authors have had no protection for their work in this country, any one having the right to republish and sell any book. The new enactment follows the lines of the English law, giving protection for forty two years, or the period of the author's life, with a grace of seven years, whichever is the longer. To copyright a book it has to be registered at the Royal Scribe Department within twelve months after publication; the fee charged is five ticals, and a copy has to be presented to the department mentioned, another to the Royal Library, and another to the Royal Buddhist Library at Wat Benchamabopit. Translation is. also prohibited.

The passing of such a law' is a wise proceeding. A MAN OF THE WOULD. From "The Wage of Character." "Warren Vincent was a man of importance in clubs and salons. His immunity from all surprises, appreciations, admirations, amounted to genius. Before the glowing works of nature and the industries of man he remained passive.

Lonely experiment, sublime meditation, pushing achievement, he sneered or laughed at, and somehow this CiVITAS CLUB MEETING Season Opened With a Discussion of the Various Phases of the Domestic Service Problem. The Civitas Club opened its season yesterday afternoon at 160 Joralemon street with a meeting which received an added interest from its being the first one presided over by Miss Louise Van Anden, the club's new president. There was a large attendance of members and any number of pretty gowns In evidence. Miss Van Anden opened the meeting with a few graceful words of welcome, referring briefly to the good work accom plished by the club In the past and the purpose to make for the present year an even better record. The subject of the day, the "Problem of Domestic Service," was first considered by Mrs.

Frederick W. Truelow in an interesting talk on "The Ideal Relation Between Mistress and Maid." The foundation of all trouble in the domestic service problem, she thought, was the relation between mistress and maid. The mistress should neither pitch her ideal too high nor too low. The difficulty was that most women do not select the right material to work with. It was not a question of religion or nationality, but of individuals.

A servant girl should have a respect for herself and her work and be capablo of gratitude. Another difficulty was the vagueness of a mistress in regard to her requirements of a servant. Tact was a necessary quality for her to possess. The 'whole problem, Mrs. Truslow thought, well worth study, for on it depended the whole peace of the household.

"Tho General Housework Girl" was tho topic taken by Mrs. Edward W. Allen, who held that altogether too much was required of this maid of all work. She alluded to the habit of servants in imitating their mistreBS in every way and suggested that If set a good example they might be persuaded to copy mental qualities as well aB dress. Work is dignified, it is only laziness which Is degrading, concluded Mrs.

Allen, and a woman should be able to do all the things she exacts of her servants in order to show the best way to do thorn. Mrs. John C. Kerr spoke on "The Housekeeper's Attitude," saying that people expect their housekeeping to go on like machinery, but they forget that machinery needs oiling occasionally and they should not expect tho impossible In the household. Mrs.

Girls did the best work who had something in their lives to inspire them, they needed both recreation and sympathy. "Suggestions From a Knowledge of Both Sides" was to have been discussed by Mrs. L.

Seeley but on account of illness in the family she, was unable to be present. She, however, telephoned a summary of her remarks to Miss Van Anden who reported them to the club. They were in brief: Both sides are at fault. Girls aro asked to do more now than they were fifteen years ago, the manner of living being more complicated. The position is a difficult one, allowing a girl very little social intercourse and often no rest until late in the evening.

Girls should be given Sunday evenings, at least. Training schools aro good in theory, but not always in practice. Servants learn a few Dhat Interest righting every negative, against the man with the kodak. From the English point of view the execution of Mr. Vanderbilt's idea does not afford him any protection.

There is no doubt that to whatever extent a private house has been brought under the camera hy one person.thls would not prevent any one else from taking a photograph from exactly the same standpoint with exactly the same effect, if this were possible; but it would be a distinct Infringement of copyright to photograph another person's photograph or in any way to copy his original negative.

Warren Vincent was, in fact, a man of very mediocre abilities. An inherited fortuno saved him from the mortification that failure to earn his living would have cast upon him In a country where this adroitness remains a test of merit.

Superficial in culture, without artistic accomplishments, by a great deal of nnlnmb and impertinence he managed to awe the community into the belief that his criti cisms were vaiuaDie. jraniy aaum partly constitutional, his lack of warmth was half the result of a low vitality, yet his posturings impressed a coterie chiefly made up of small people. "The cynicism of his countenance had become a habit; it was a cynicism in which there lurked nothing sinister. Hi3 smile, to be sure, never rose to gayety, but for all that it was not ill natured. He looked like a man who regarded the world as extremely silly, but who intended to profit by its silliness; he was also capable of showing occasional kindness to the little dogs who crowded about him, wagging their tails at his approach.

Too thin blooded to be revengeful, he ignored enmity with a fine display 01 in difference. Absolutely unemotional, puuuc 1 stress or private trouble found him calm, collected and dry pored.

A sway it undoubtedly possesses; but this is generally brief. In middle life such men sink into insignificance, in old age to oblivion. Eventually one wearies of the unproductive, of the hens that cackle and lay no eggs.

From august they become ridiculous. Just now he was still young, and his amiable pessimisms and dissatisfactions were thought to be amusing.

(AppletonsV GOLGOTHA IDENTIFIED. In his new hook, "A Winter's Pilgrimage" (Longmans), Rider Haggard gives an account of travels in Italy, Egypt, Cyprus and Palestine. The author believes he has iaentified Golgotha.

He says: "As on the cliff at this spot, tho face of the rock looking toward Jerusalem has undoubtedly a fantastic, but, to my fancy, a very real resemblance to a rotting human skull." The photograph which illustrates the spot helps to strengthen the author's statement in a striking manner. A COPYRIGHTED HOUSE. The Journal of the American Society of Authors states that Mr. Vanderbilt has had his house both the exterior and the interior photographed from all points of vantage with a view of protecting himself, by copy entrees and then demand much higher wages. The schools, too, are not greatly sought after by servants.

It is the nouveau richo who are apt to spoil servants and make them insensible to any reasona'olo terms. Numerous other points as to the management of servants were mentioned by MrB. Seeley, who concluded that on the whole the problem was not at all hopeless. Miss Louise Wingate read a bright little sketch, "Snap Shots," after which Miss Marie Jadwin gave a review of Miss Salmon's book, "Domestic Service." Preceding the programme reports were heard from the committee on music urging attendance at the Philharmonic concerts and the committee on philanthropy requesting donations of books for the Maxwell library.
