The following if a diagram of the property to be sold aa above described: gests the evangelization of Africa by Africans. Much practical light Is thrown upon the many new societies now working In the dark land; and many other faots and suggestions concerning the industrial features, which are more and more engaging the interest of those most active in mission Interests. Industry is the handmaid of religion as well as civilization. To all who wish a comprehensive view of mission work in the land made sacred by the memories of Moffat, Livingston and the many martyrs who died for its redemption, Mr. Noble's book will prove an Indispensable adjunct.

It 'has the merit of being a readable book and at the same time a reference volume. Th hope will find expression that like volumes reviewing the missionary labors of other continents may be added as a complement to these volumes, thus giving the student with limited time some general conception of the great missionary work of the Christian church in all lands. (Fleming H. Revell Company.) "Nothing to Wear." Among the new books announced for Immediate publication, by the Harpers, is a new edition of the poems of William Allen Butler, the author of "Nothing to Wear." How many of the readers of the present day remember that clever and charming bit of verse, in which the woes of "Miss Flora McFlim soy" are celebrated? To the older generation the title of the poem will come back like a half forgotten song, but there are many of their sons and daughters who will have a very vague idea of the poem that once took the fancy of the American reader by storm, and which shortly became famous on two continents. The poem was published in 1850, in the sixth number of Harper's Weekly, and appeared without signature.

In August, 1857, a young woman named Peck, If recollection serves, the daughter of a clergyman, laid claim to being the author of the poem, claiming that she had lost the copy from her pocket, thus leading to the Inference that Mr. Butler had found the copy and published them as his own. As the poem had been before the world for seven years before the claim was made, it will not surprise anyone to know that her assertion was relegated to the limbo of self delusion to call It by no harsher name. Harper's Weekly said nothing about the claim, and stated that Mr. Butler's original MSS of the pcem was then before the editor, and stated, furthermore, that when the author first offered It to the paper, at the editor's request, he added about twenty five lines to fill out the page.

To the present generation Mr. Butler is better known as an able lawyer, than as a poet. He resides at his country home, Round Oak, on the Hudson, and the new volume is dedicated "To my wife, this volume, published in the fiftieth year of our wedded life, is Inscribed." Another Volume on the Santiago Campaign. A book which presents the story of the Santiago campaign from the viewpoint of the regular army officer is pretty sure to be worth more than a cursory examination. Such a volume, bearing the title ''Reminiscences of the Santiago Campaign" is at hand, bearing the Harper's imprint.

The author is Captain John Bigelow of the Tenth Cavalry, an author well known in Army circles as the author of the "Principles of Strategy," a very valuable book on military tactics. His description and criticism of the manner of conducting the Santiago campaign Is therefore authoritative. As Captain Bigelow says, the book is simply "a narration of what an officer participating In that campaign saw, felt and thought, with such explanations and suggestions as his observations and reflections prompted." Captain Bigelow writes modestly throughout, and has much to say of the work of the regulars In general and the colored troops In particular. He describes the battle In which he was engaged and the picturesque incidents which came under his observation with great dramatic force. The last chapter will be considered the most important chapter, because it is a careful discussion of the whole military question aa concerned with the United States.

This chapter should certainly be read by every officer in the United States Army. It presents a clear statement of the present situation, points out the radical defects of our system and proposes what are in the author's opinion the best plans to remedy those defects. The book is in every way a valuable contribution to military science. ($1.25.) Lee'by W. P.

(75 cts.

each.) A Volume of Weird Short Stories. Bernard Capes is the author of a volume or short stories, which with three exceptions have already appeared in English or American magazines. Literature is becoming international, and the short story writer flnds a market for bis ware on either side of the sea. Mr. Capes' specialty is the weird; he patterns after Poe in essence although not in style; but he deals with uncanny things, with the spirits of the air, and with unexplanable happenings, which give you that "creepy" feeling as you read, and which is the supreme test touch of the quality of the ghost story.

Mr. Capes has done some good work as a writer of novels, but In this book be shows he Is also well equipped for the creation of shorter fiction. There are eleven tales in the book, and they are all well worth reading. There is an art about Mr. Capes' gruesome ness; It Is not all raw head and bloody bones; he relies on psychological conditions to some extent to produce his effects, and he uses them quite effectively.

He travels outside of the usual course followed by the writers of ghostly tales, and flnds a different material; the result is, that there is none of the atmosphere about these stories which usually Inheres about a narrative that deals with supernatural forces. So It is a book that one can read by late lamplight, and not look fearsome ly over tbe shoulder when tie clock strikes midnight. (The Doubleday McClure Company, A College Tale. "Across the Campus," by Caroline M. Fuller is a bright story of girl life at Smith College.

The author evidently talks of Smith College with love in ber heart as well as knowledge in her mind of the place and Its ways. In It, a party of girls are carried through their college course from their first entrance as "freshmen" until their graduation and exeunt from college halls and college ways. There are also final hints as to the future career of each young woman after leaving Smith. It is the class of '95 whose record Is written, as the book is dedicated to the class, It Is fair to infer that the writer publishes it as a memorial of a happy college career. The story has no special plot, outside of the ambitions, hopes, and small events of college life, but as such it is a true, and very bright and entertaining record.

(Charles Scribner'fl Sons. $1.50.) International Year Book. The title of "International Year Book" is sufficiently imposing to impress the ordinary reader of books favorably at the start. This one for 1898, published by Dodd, Mead aims to be a compendium of the world's progress in every department of human knowledge. There could hardly be a larger field and there could not be a more important one.

To enhance the estimate of the book it may be mentioned that Frank Moore Colby, M. of the New York University, is the editor, and the consulting editor is Harry Thurston Peck of Columbia University. One element in the history of 1898 furfiishes a test for this new volume, that is the Spanish American war. To this subject many pages are given and the leading facts in relation to that conlllct appear to be covered with a regard for the value of correctness. That was the event of the year, but there are other lines in which the year 1S98 was eventful, aB in scientific discoveries and inventions, in literature and art.

In industrial and commercial progress. Some renowned names find their place In the department of biography, the death roll having included those of Bismarck and Gladstone. Among the longer articles are to be found those on archaeology, anthropology, botany, philology, physics, astronomy and psychology, under which the year's progress is extensively treated. It is worth noting that in the department of medicine such subjects as serum theropy, typhoid fever, epidemic influenza, yellow fever, plague, are treated under their own titles, and not as part of a single long article on medicine. Also In the departments of civil, electrical and mechanical engineering, articles on bridges, canals, automobiles, electric railways, waterworks, sewage purification, occur under those titles.

In cases of controversy both sides obtain a place, so that tho reader has a fair opportunity to weigh the claims and the facts in coming to a decision. Every such book as this is a welcome contribution to the library prowess and even if allowance must be made for shortcomings. It is still an appreciated reinforcement to the man of letters. The list of contributors includes the names of men who command the confidence and respect of the art, literary and scientific worlds. By way of help we are furnished with some latest and carefully made maps and the illustrations are worthy tho places they occupy.

The volume, as a whole, will sustain all the good words said for it and the best that can be offered Is, "It is useful." From F. Tennyson Neely. Among the long list of books issued by the publishing house of F. Tennyson Neely, New York and Chicago, is "The Young Volunteer," by Joseph E. Crowell, a story whose scene is laid In tho army at the time of the Rebellion.

The story Is historically accurate, and while the names, of course, aro disguised, many of the Incidents are true and concern the doings of the Thirteenth Regiment of New Jersey Volunteers. The special motive of the book was to give the reader an Idoa of the daily life and experiences of a private soldier in the volunteer army during the trying conditions of war. As the story is written out of actual experiences It is realistic and interesting from its faithful descriptions. "A Military Belle," by Henry Clinton Park hurst, 1b another story whose scenes concern army life, and whoso descriptions are based upon the observations and experiences in the real life of its soldier author. The charming heroine, Miss Geraldlne Sinclair, is the belle and pride of that portion of the army wherein her lot is cast.

After many adventures and experiences, the young woman finally marries the lover whom sho prefers and from" whom she has long been separated. "A Gentleman In Waiting," by Cornelius V. V. Sewell, is a story of a country home and of society life. The story has no special ability, dealing with the plots and counter plots of social life, and of various ordinary happenings to the group of people Introduced.

There arc, throughout its pages, occasional gleams of a humor which help to redeem its mediocrity. For instance, when some one speaks of "exclusive circles of society," a lady present asks, "Why are they called exclusive?" and the other party to the conversation answers, "Because, my dear! when a woman enters them sho has to exclude methodical virtue from her repertory." Another society novel Is called "That Other Woman," and Is by Amelia Appleton. This tale deals with a mystery concerning the "other woman," who is Involved in the hero's life. The heroine, however, helps him to unravel it, and the two finally marry and aro happy. The remarkable manner of talking used by people in novels is strikingly illustrated in this book.

"The Ides of March," by Florie Nlllingham Packard, is a tale whose motives are "tho sanctity of life in American homes, the terrl blonoss of sin, the sorrows resulting from war, and a closer union throughout our country." This Is worthily ambitious and comprehensive. StrFHSSIB COURT. KINGS COUNTY THE Columbia Mutual Building and Loon AosoclaUon of New York, plalntlft, vs. George H.

The Paris exhibition of 1900 promises to be worthy of the great event it is Intended to signalize the dawn of the twentieth century. From time to time there have appeared in this paper drawings of the more Important featureB mechanical and scientific chiefly which will distinguish the exhibition; but none of them ha3 equaled in novelty the machine for making clouds. The promoters of the scheme are, not unnaturally, unwilling to give any detailed description of the working of the engines which, when completed, will resemble two gigantic globes. In these huge clouds will be generated and given off at stipulated times during the day. Cumulus, "fish tails" and other kinds of clouds will be manufactured, and it is proposed to give an additional touch of realism to storm clouds by Imitating the roar of thunder and the flash of lightning.

Those who are content to witness the effects without prying into the cause will be accommodated on a kind of elevated platform behind which the engines will be situated; but those of a more Inquisitive disposition will be allowed to stand near tbe engines themselves. Several of the most prominent scientists and engineers are engaged In working out this novel scheme, and are receiving the advice and assistance of three well known French meteorologists. Already a vast sum of money has been spent In the preparation of plans and experiments with models. With the latter some curious results have been achieved, but these, of course, will be put Into the shade when the larger machines are completed. What with the giant telescope which Is to bring the moon to within a few miles of the earth, "the voyage around the world" on a real steamer which encounters imitation tempests, and the latest marvel of all, "tbe cloud factory," the Paris exhibition promises to be the most remarkable aggregation of scientific and mechanical wonders the world has ever seen.

At the same time, much of the great show will be instructive as well as entertaining. London Daily Mail. EARLY ROUTES TO THE YUKON. Heavy Prices Charged for the Transportation of Freight. It was the packers, the owners or the horse trains, who made the first trail, for the gold seekers had no time to join in any "good road hut the packers organized, instituted compulsory service, and by the spring of 1898 had succeeded in opening a very sfair bridle path, making this trail from this time on essentially a horse trail, and thus scoring a second triumph over Dyea.

The horses be t.wfipn Skaewav and Bennett each carried 250 pounds, beside feed for the round trip of four days. Six to seven norses or mutes muuu string under the care of one man, the driver riding on an extra animal, sometimes in front, often behind. Rates for packing fell to 20 and then to 12 cents a pound and fortunes were made and squandered in the business. Six horses carry 1,500 pounds of net freight and earn gross $1S0 to $300. Expenses for a round trip were $40 in wages, $12 hotel bills, $25 for horse feed, $20 for wear and tear and $15 toll, making a total of $112.

Some packers who had forty to fifty horses on the trail put in their own boarding camps, thus reducing expenses, and the most energetic and successful and reliable earned for several months over $1,000 a clay net on an Investment or $2,000 to $3,000. One energetic man Interviewed the arriving Klon dikers at Seattle! contracted to deliver their tretebt at Bennett, required a part payment in cash, used the cash to buy his horses and pack saddles and went north on the same steamer with his customers and fulfilled his contract.

Sth St. N. 7th St. WALTER UNDERHIL.L, Referee aul 7t TuJcF I SO 3 marvelous. The tale is entertaining and con tains mucn detail of tbe life and customs of the Aztecs, while describing the search of a young doctor for a papyrus containing the secret of the continual renewal of physical life.

This secret was known to have existed among the patriarchs and the papyrus was thought to be burled in a certain tomb, which young Dr. SHverthorne starts to discover. After he has found It, he concludes that he doesn't want It. A story of tho Aztecs promises much that is entertaining. Tales of dug up and restored to life Pharaohs and their contemporaries possess many striking elements which appeal to the imagination of the reader and possess distinct advantages for the Imaginative writer.

Whatever he may choose to tell us, few can dispute the facts he gives us of the times and the people he brings to life. In "Looking Ahead," by H. Perelra Mendes, the WTlter has attempted to forecast the great geographical and national changes which will be brought about within tie next century. It Is written in the form of a story occurring at that time. The story is of no special interest, as such, and the various changes among nations and peoples merely represent the author's own thought of the matter and his Idea of the forms which the various changes impending during the next century will take.

Some of these are ingenious and others at variance with the best thought of to day. Only one thing all these prognostlcators agree upon, we snail nave universal brothernooa, peace and happiness. After all, we may be content to know that, without putting too much anxious thought into the details of the changes which will conduce to it. "A Man of Honor," by Helen F. Potter, is a somewhat tragical story.

The hero, Percy Le Roy, is a man somewhat gifted, but of a capricious, weak nature. He has tried to write, but has failed to make a success; he has fallen in love with various women and, after their refusal of his affection, fallen into dissipation. He is rescued from this by the efforts of a married woman, whose friendship he learns to prize, and he finally falls in love with her. Happily, at this point, he ends his failure of a life by accidental drowning. "A Ducal Skeleton," by Heloise Durant Rose, is tho story of the adoption of two children of his wayward son by the Duke of Beaulleu.

Tho son 1b killed suddenly by a fall from his horse, but lives long enough to consign his two illegitimate children to his mother's care. This was the "ducal skeleton," which grew to be a blessing, as the boy and girl grew up noble and pure natured In spite of the stain upon their birth. "My Scottish Sweetheart," by Charles Keekle, tells of a visit by the writer, when a young man, to Scotland and of the lovely young girl, his neighbor, with whom he became deeply in love. The story tells of his sorrow at finding she was engaged to another man and of their vows of friendship, then of their long separation and final meeting after many years, when the beautiful Mary Campbell had become a widow, and when tho writer is once more, and this time by marriage, united to his "Scottish Sweetheart." A story called "Word for Word, and Letter for Letter" Is by A. J.

Drexel Blddle, published by Drexel Biddle of Philadelphia. The story is called "a biographical romance," and purports to be the self told tale of a rich young man and his adventures in his tours around the world and In his attempts to clear up the mystery connected with his father murder while visiting the Island of Madeira. The story does not seem to possess any coherent plot, and Is told in an abrupt, disjointed way that detracts from what interest it might possess as a record of adventure. (Price, $1.) A charming little tale by Mrs. Harriet Pres cott Spofford is called "The Maid He Married," and Is published In the series of "Blue Cloth Books" of Herbert 3.

Stone Chicago and New York. The story is of a little country girl, who Is adopted by a rich aunt in the city. Josephine has a country lover, to whom she remains true, refusing richer men who wish to marry her. Tho uncle, at first prejudiced against Josephine, ends by adoring her and by adopting the young village doctor as part of his family, when the girl insists upon marrying her old sweetheart. (Price, io cents.) Mr.

Neely also publishes "The Signor," by Webster Perit Huntington, which is a book full to the brim of exciting plot, both In the human and the superhuman plane of existence. The story begins with a mysterious advertisement, and Millard Hampton, the hero, through his investigation of it, becomes involved in a very complicated series remarkable adventures. The book shows a very fertile imagination on the part of the writer, and some incursions Into the realm of psychic life. Mystery is plied upon mystery, and much cleverness is shown in working out the result. The same publisher issues "That Other Woman," by Amelia Appleton.

It Is a society novel, involving a mystery, which it is the purpose of the story to unravel. Its object is "to teach the hol lowness and selfishness of modern society," which scarcely needs teaching. Tho writer is evidently a novice, and the story itself Is commonplace. Tho above books vary in price from $1 to $1.25. THE PRINCE'S PI ATE EOOM.

Where Valuable Table Services and Costly Cups Are Kept. Next to the room at Windsor In which the famous gold plate of Queen Victoria Is kept is the plate room at Marlborough House, In London, the town residence of the Prince of Wales. This room Is absolutely fireproof and Is guarded with unceasing vigilance. The floor Is tiled and the wood work Is of highly polished mahogany. It is In this room that the special dinner services are kept, beside the silver for ordinary use.

One of the dinner sets of gold, finely chased, excels In beauty and cost any that the Queen herself possesses. There are presentation services of all kinds, christening gifts, yachting cups, salvers, tankards, flasks and choice pieces of every description. In the center of the room is a special case, with glass on all sides, made In the silver wedding year of the Prince and Princess to receive the magnificent presents the occasion called from all over Europe. The lining of this case is light blue cloth and the upper part Is made of sliver on an ornamental foundation of mahogany. SEALING WAX FADS.

Postage stamps have long had a language, and now comes some one who claims to translate the subtle meanings of scaling wax. Business letters should be sealed with red, friendly letters with gray. To your lover you devote blue, in token of constancy, unless you wish to hint that you have or think you have cause for jealousy, when you will use yellow. A reply to a wedding Invitation should bo sealed with white, and a letter of condolenco or a death call for black or violet. A dinner invitation may be sealed with coffee colored wax, and when a man gets a letter sealed with green from the girl he admires he may feel that she shyly bids him hope.

ACHIEVEMENT. Two started after fame. And one strove day and night To win a deathless name To gain the glorious height. He delved In books of lore. He read the words of seers; With nobleness he bore Men's gibes and critics' jeers.

Year after year he tried To give tho world his best, And, crushed by failure, died, And weeds grow o'er his breast. Tho other rode a mile And knocked a record down; He lives In royal style, With laurels in his crown. Two Wature Books. Under the title ol "Ferns and Evergreens jot New England," Mr. Edward Knobel has 'given us a pretty and Interesting volume re jativ'e to tie fields and woods.

There are no plants that grow wild that lend to summer way sides, wood nooks and corners greater (decoratiVG charms and graces than do the terns. They adorn the bogs and thickets. They spring up on the shaded hills and by the lonely wood path. They adorn and beautify the neglected corners. They are in evidence as early as April and continue through jthe changing months as late as the middle the following January.

Feme are one of the oldest of botanical families. They have many interesting sides and it we can tell the name a fern that wo chance to see growing there is an added pleasure to that of merely seeing. lit is to compass and make this possible that 'Mr. Knobel has produced the present volume 'in his natural histoTy serleB. By means of 'simple tables, keys, classifications and illustrations used it will be found possible to secure an acquaintance with at least some of the New England species.

Those who are jindlfferent'to the terns and other show pieces jof Nature miss much that gives pleasure and who care for none of these things deserve our pity. To such persons Mr. Kno bel'B book will not appeal, but to those who 'can understand what Byron meant whep he wrote "There is a pleasure in the pathless woods," it will have a wide significance and Will directly address because the terns and evergreens certainly do constitute some of the of the "pathless woods." A day in Ithe woods with Mr. Knobel's book as a com 'panion will be a greater pleasure than witli such company. (Bradlee Whidden, Boston, Mass.

50 cents.) A second book by the same author and Issued through the same publishing house is titled "A to Find the Names of All Wild Growing Trees and Shrubs of New England by Their Leaves." If it is possible to have a speaking acquaintance with the trees and shrubs and to call them by name it brings us at once into closer touch and on more familiar terms with Nature. They are and dearer friends. This, then, is the object toward which Mr. Knobel las 'striven in the little volume now before us. He has not attempted to measure the heights and depths, the lengths and breadths of an extended silva, but only that one might find ithe names of the wild growing trees and shrubs of New England by means of their leaves.

It 'is, of course, possible that mistakes may be made the first time the thing is tried. A nut tree may be mistaken for an oak (although it is difficult to see how) and Borne of the shrubs are easily confused, but with the continued use and study of the pres hand book a considerable acquaintance the majority of New England trees will be found not impossible. Knowledge ac quired in field work has a certain charm that is otherwise wanting and the use of this book 'implies serious field work. The illustrations will greatly aid the student in the identification of species. (50 cents.) A Good Book About Birds.

"The First Book of Birds," by Olive Thome jMiller, is a valuable addition to the bird literature of the day. It is not because it adds materially to the sum of scientific or technical knowledge about birds, because it contemplates the general subject from the viewpoint of intelligently or jdered sentiment. Relatively few writers are able to the reader precisely this point of 'view, and this is because in order to occupy it one must be something of a poet as well as a good deal of an observer. To know the species, family, color, habits, habitat and all 'the other scientific details about birds is one thing: to be familiar with the personality the bird (for most birds have distinct personalities) involves this knowledge or a portion of it, at least, and a great deal more. A good many writers have given us about as much of the poetry and the character flavor of bird life as we get from the geologist's I discussion or the fossils of the "oldest Brit I ish bird" as a representative of the creta ceous age of the tertiary period.

Recently there have been appearing writers who see in birds something more than mere animal life. Probably nobody has ever seen and told more of this element than has John Burroughs. Bradford Torrey and a dozen others have written in this same vein, and so, in a charming and graceful literary style, i does Miss Miller. Her "First Book of Birds" I does not pretend to be more than a book for beginners, and for beginners young in years I at that. "From the youngest kindergarten scholars to boys and girls of sixteen and eigh i teen," she says, "I have never failed to find.

young people intensely Interested so long as I would tell them how birds live." And she continues: "It has, therefore, seemed to me that what is needed at first Is not the science I of ornithology, however diluted, but some account of the life and habits, to arouse sym pathy and interest in the living bird, neither 1 as a target nor as a producer of eggs, but as a fellow creature, whose acquaintance it would be.pleasant to make." If Miss Miller's book fails to arouse in the reader this feelihg certainly it will not be because of either the spirit or the style in i which it is written. Moreover, it is a book which mature as well as young people can enjoy and get much good from. Short of making extracts copious enough to indicate the general style of treatment (which is forbidden by the necessary limitations of this review), no better way could be found of giving a general idea of what the book Is like than by quoting some of the chapter headings. Here are a few of them: "The Bird's Language," "What He Eats," More About His Food," "Where He Sleeps," "His Travels." "His Winter Home," "His Family and Friends," "His Kindness to Others," "His Affections," "His Intelligence." The discussion of these and similar topics occupies a matter of a hundred and forty pages, and the result is a sort of generic composite of the bird's personality which Is likely to remain a permanent Impression on the mind of the reader. Miss Miller has written other books about birds, and they are all very well worth while; but none is more worth while than this one.

There are twenty full page illustrations In the book, eight of which lave been pro duced by color photography, and the others by the balf tone process. Each gives an ex cellent portrait of the bird. (Houghton, Mifflin Boston and New York; Mission "Work in Africa. "The Redemption of Africa," by Frederick Perry Noble is a comprehensive encyclopaedia of missionary enterprise in the dark continent. It is not biographical and, therefore, lacks those qualities of thrilling excitement, whioh obtain in the story of a single man or mission.

But It is just euch a work as is needed In missionary literature. It discusses the whole situation of African missions, both in their higtoric and problematic situations. The opening chapters recall how large a place Africa occupied in the pioneer work of early Christianity. The reader will be surprised at this point and find his interest deepened. The efforts of five and a lalf centuries, are discussed under "Ancient Missions." And this very viewpoint of Africa's early importance lends an added interest to all the subsequent Jtudy.

Mr. Noble makea us remember that though many of the mighty antinlcene fathers were more Roman than African, yet the labors of Athanaeius, Orlgen, Augustine and a 'host of others were associated wltl Africa. Following the "Ancient Missions" comes a discussion of the presence, influence and effects of Islam in the continent. Africa was the great missionary country of Islam and the modern worker, for Christianity must encounter and reckon 'with African harvests of Mohammedanism. Medieval Christianity is next outlined, followed by a broad sketch, do scribing conditions of climate and disease; its many people and racial characteristics; its afflictions and deliverances; the stages of preparation for modern missionary enterprise, eto.

The historic sketch takes in a comprehensive vision of political, sooial, educational and re ligiouo characteristics. Nearly two centuries of modern missions are recorded in book II. Here the various denominational activities are passed In review. But the work Is one work In which the various denominations aro provoking one another to good works. The author seeks to do justice to every branch of Christian missions.

Roman, Anglican and Protestant com munions are "all seen active. Book III la occupied with providential affairs with reference to the future of Afrldan missions.

Vivian and Ruel P. Smith, both well known in New York Journalism, have devoted considerable time since the Spanish American Warao a study of our new possessions, and bave compiled two or three books of reference that have been found more or less valuable by persons whose interests, business, or otherwise, may Impel them to an Investigation of economic conditions in Cuba, Porto Rico, Havana, or the Philippines. Their latest production in this line is a modest volume of 174 pages, printed by R. F. Fenno bearing the somewhat pretentious title, "Everything About Our New Possessions." The authors are, however, modest enough in tbeir claims.

They freely admit that the material from which their latest book has been compiled Is to be found in any and all authoritative works on the subjects treated, and state that they have simply collated for the reader's convenience information that might otherwise be Inconvenient to secure. There is no effort at "treatment," or discussion of problems; simple figures are furnished in abundance In simple and plain fasnfon, and there is no doubt that the book will be found of value to traveler, writer and business man. It has already been pointed out in these columns that present statistics and other Information bearing upon our new territories in the West Indies and the far East must be open to suspicion to a certain extent, in view of the rather Irresponsible manner In which Spanish arcbives, from which most of this information is obtained, have been kept. For gen oral business purposes, however, these statistics are much better than none, and probably will be, as they have been eagerly sought. This volume of Messrs.

Smith and Vivian has been compiled with a compactness and directness, natural to men who have been, In their vocation, daily impressed with the value of "space," and they have consequently produced a book that will probably be the more warmly appreciated by the traveler and business man. (Abraham Straus, Brooklyn. 60 cents.) The "Beacon" Biographies. The Boston publishing house of Small, Maynard Co. has just Inaugurated a new enterprise In the publication of a new series of biographical sketches of eminent Americans, Issued in little pocket volumes, well printed and bound and In each instance illustrated with a portrait in photogravure.

The aim Is to furnish brief, readable and authentic accounts of these notable personages, who have made a name In American hlutory and who Impressed themselves deeply upon their times. Biography is a fascinating branch of literature, but the difficulty too often is that the lives of noted men are told at too great a length and In volumes that daunt the average reader by their size. It is well enough that such record should be published, but the average man would rather have the story told In brief compass, which shall present all the leading facts of the career under discussion, and, while avoiding a dry as dust style, shall not devote too much space to tho non essentials; something, In a word, that shall give some hint of the flavor and perfume which filled a life, as well as tell the facts about it. This Is tho demand which the "Beacon" biographies aim to supply. The sketches In the series are to bo compiled by writers of special competence In each special direction, and bo the narrative is bound to be interesting.

Six of these little books have been issued and are now before us. It must be said that they fairly fulfill the promise of the prospectus. The set Is under the general editorship of M. A. DoWqlfe Howe, and the Issues thus far include "Famine Brooks." by the Q.

Farragut," bz. Jamft? Byxaaa. 1 and it is no fault of tho amateur writer that sho has not been able to cover the whole ground in two hundred pages. "Shem," by J. Breckenridgo Ellis, is a story of life In Biblical times.
