Carolina Iff, by Lilian Hell. I1..10. L. C.
Paci & Co., liostoii. and the J. K. Gill
Company. Portland.
Emphatically a woman's novel for wom
en and can be classed ns odd, clever and
Ingenious. It oiiKht to dcllRlit the Inmost
-n:l of Mrs. Mary O. Jtaker Eddy of
''Science and Health" fame, for the
lierolne. Caroline. I-ee, Southern aristocrat,
from being a scoffer at the belief of a
liod. is converted through Christian
Science to become a creature of hope
aRHin.
At first. Carolina l.ee Is a distinctly
disagreeable person and she exults In her
crudeness to such an extent that she
reminds one of several morbid, unhealthy
characters drawn by Sarah Grand in the
"Heavenly '1'wins." Tho metamorphosis
In Carolina's character is skillfully de
lineated. Angered at the Almighty be
cause He had allowed her father to die
find imr estate to be taken from her,
Carolina says: "The end has come to
even (jod's power to hurt me I have
nothing left for him to take. I wouldn't
care if Ho took my life now, for He Is
practically powerless." So saying, she
went for a horseback ride, was thrown
from her horse and her hip broken so
'badly that tho surgeon said he feared she
would be lamed for life and would hava
to use crutches.
A glorious opportunity for Christian
Pclence! At this period, Carolina tore her
lialr and even bit her own tender flesh.
-Asked if she had ever seen a perfectly
happy face, she replied, "Yes, the face
of Hoscinary (ioddard." The latter, in
the Interval, had become a Christian
Scientist, and the chapter finishes with
this sentence: "Something in Carolina's
eves as they first met Rosemary's told
Kate that the poison was already at
work and that Carolina was ripe for the
hated new religion."
Rngpmarv gave the Invalid comfort, and
enirt: "Oiristlan Science will Rive you back
J our God. 1 used to hate him. We had
made an image of hate and vengeance and
It up to worship and called It God. H
nvr answered a prayer of mine until 1
learned how to pray."
"Who discovered the new way? That
Kchly woman'.'' asked Carolina.
"Mrs. Kddy did." replied her friend. "You
can be cured you won't even limp you will
he made perfectly whole." Rosemary felt
lier two hHnds prasped firmly, nml. without
thinking. Carolina raised herself to a sitting
posture in bed without path.
"For a moment your soul accepted God as
l.ove and the -source of all supply. I'ncon-K'-iotisly.
your mind looked Into his mind
and you saw the truth," was Ho.semary's
reply.
"I believe that I could get up," said Caro
lina. In a sort of ecstasy.
"I know that you can! Give me your
band." Rosemary helped Carolina to dress,
and In half an hour Carolina was sitting,
for the first time In months, in a chair by
tho window, with Kosemnry reading and
marking for her the passues In "Science
and Health" rt lilch bore immediately upon
ner case.
How does such a novel of temperament I
end? In the orthodox way for in the I
8o2d, and last page, Carolina Is gracefully
clasped in her lover's arms!
Morn Stories of Married Life, by Mary Stew,
art Cutting. McClure. Phillips & Co.. New
York City, and the J. K. Gill Company,
Portland.
To the tired dweller in busy cities,
where the roar of street traffic and clang
of many bells combine In unending re
quiem, there often comes a wish to es
cape to the green fields of the suburbs,
where one might have a little house all
one's own and where industrious chick
,ens and companionable dogs help to com
plete the home picture. Of., all modern
short story writers, no one has been
quicker to grasp this suburban atmo
sphere than Mrs. Mary Stewart Cutting,
because her people are moulded with hu
man touch and appeal to the average
dally life of us all.
"More Stories of Married Life." con
taining eleven suburban tales, possess the
same positive charm as the earlier books
In this series, and nothing could be more
(seasonable or agreeable than to present
a copy of It to a married couple about to
enjoy the leisure of a short vacation.
These storie3 do not appeal to the brain,
but they strangely grip the heart and
teach us that there are healthy, sane,
contented married people worth knowing.
YVe do hear in the public prints of fam
ily unhappiness and ruined homes, but
what of the millions upon millions of
happily married pcoplo about whom, we
hear nothing.' In a public way? Mrs.
Mary .Stewart Cutting Is their devoted
exponent and her book makes life bet
ter. Delicious humor of the restful, not the
uproarious sort, and tender, almost tear
ful pathos, mark the treatment of the
stories. To come under the spell of such
a book Is almost to look Into the trustful,
innocent and soulful eyes of a little
child. For Instance, In' "The Terminal"
appears this paragraph concerning the
love of Mr. and Mrst Prescott:
Ami the spring of all this was in the love
he and his wife had for each other, a love
that was too much of a vital power to be
consciously dwelt upon:it was rather an en-tai-Rlng
and cnrlchins; of the whole nature,
because they two were one In the possession
of a country which It is given to but few
of the married to see. even afar off. Below
all trouble lay ever a secret Joy: whither
he went, she accompanied him. In all the
years of separation, they were less apart
than many whose hands meet daily; there
could be no real separation between them,
even after death.
Alton of Somasco. by Harold Bindloss. Illus
. . trated. $1.50. Frederick A. Stokes Com
pany. New York City, and the J. K. Gill
Company, Portland.
After reading such contributions as
"Life on the Bar Z Range: or Blue-Nosed
Jim. the Heroic Cowboy," In which we
niako the acquaintance of Innumerable
cowpunchers from Arizona and Texas, one
occasionally -wonders It there are such
WHO
bristling fire-eaters across the border
among our Canadian cousins. Here is
one Harry Alton, the owner of Somasco
ranch. British Columbia, the moving spirit
of Mr. Bindloss- rapid-action novel, "Al
ton of Somasco."
Mr. Blndloss does not come before us as
the writer of several romances, but should
he not write another novel for years than
"Alton of Somasco." he will be pleasantly
remembered as one who has surveyed
what is -practically new ground and has
written an eminently readable novel deal
ing with rough-and-ready pioneer Cana
dian ranchers. We are taken away from
the heated atmosphere of the cities, out
Into the open air, amid the silence of a
great wilderness, where strong men play
fast and loose with death. Trading sta
tion, ranch, sawmill and prospecting life
are treated on original lines, and with a
dash that catches the fancy.
Harry Alton is a young Canadian whose
ancestor had left him the rich estate of
Carnaby In England, but when Miss Der
lngham and her father tell Alton of his
good fortune, that' resolute Individual
says: "No, I prefer to remain at Somas
co. IjOok out and see. Timber, lake and
clearing, cattle, mills and crops the fin
est ranch In the district. My father com
menced It and I have finished. The Al
mighty made him a man. and he wouldn't
sell his birthright to loaf his days away
overfed, at Carnaby." Alton is a head
strong young man, who subdues cayuses
and fords streams of tee-cold water
without apparently contracting rheuma
tism. There's one thing Alton does very bndly
love-making. In this respect he Is like
a Kipling hero. He isn't very sure wheth
er he loves Nellie Townshead. but he
proposes In this matter-of-fact fashion:
N'ow, 1 am just a plain bush rancher, and
don't know how to put things nicely, but
I don't know that there's any disrespect
in a straight question, and I came to ask
If you would marry me?"
That was all the ardor he could summon
up, and of course the girl refused him.
In the end he peacefully married some
body else the daughter of the man who
had been his chief enemy. On pages 211
215 occurs-a splendidly written account of
shooting rhe rapids In a canoe.
The book Is not fortunate In study of
temperament. It tells better of the Joys
of the open air and the spirit of the West.
The Congo, a Belgian government report. $1..
G. P. Putnam's Sons. New York City, and
the J. K. Gill Company, Portland.
Recently. Leopold II. King of the Bel
gians, commanded the appointment of a
commission to examine complaints as to
maladministration and certain abuses
existing In the civil government of the
Congo Free State. This book of 171 pages
is the report of the commission so ap
pointed. It will be recalled that Mark
Twain some little time ago in his book.
"King Leopold's Soliloquy." accused of
ficials acting under Leopold's rule of
having been guilty of the most frightful
atrocities against the helpless natives of
the Congo.
Well, the present official report of the
King's commissioners is of the white
wash description. Certain minor abuses
are shown to exist, but these are almost
swept away by a host of minor recom
mendations. The commission finds that
the slave trade has disappeared, cannibal
Ism has been practically suppressed,
pushed back or is In hiding, and that
sacrifices of human beings are rare. The
official report also contains this sugges
tive sentence: "We should add that the
black of the Congo has not the same
notion of truth that we have we do not
mean to say that he's a liar. That would
be a gratuitous Insult to him."
Humaniculture, by Dr. Hubert Hlgg-lns.
$1.00. Frederick A. Stokes Company. New
York City, and the J. K. Gill Company,
Portland.
It Is significant of the growth of our civ
ilization that such a sympathetically sci
entific book should be published with the
object of showing that there are good
grounds for the belief that a more thor
ough understanding and a more complete
use of the human aptitude provide the es
sential foundation for scientific humani
culture. Dr. Hlggins thinks that the aim
of this science is to cultivate life not
merely for the sake of living, but for the
most efficient exercise and the highest de
velopment of all the human attributes.
The book of 247 pages, with Its convenient
Index, should be read by all humanitarians
and students of civics. A high, human
note is reached. Dr. Hlggins graduated at
Cambridge University, England, where he
Is demonstrator of anatomy and Is assist
ant surgeon to the Addenbrooke Hospital,
there. .
The Four Million, by O. Henry. McClure.
Phillips & Co.. New York City., and the
J. K. Gill Company. Portland.
Ward McAllister once made himself fa
mous by Intimating that there were only
400 people who represented New York so
ciety, but Mr. Henry, wiser In his day,
has chosen to write about the other side
4.000,000 people of New York City worth
knowing. He now presents 25 tales of
New York life, filled to the brim with a
racy exuberance and a variety of Inven
tion that give his presentation a deep,
human quality. Many of his pages recall
the sympathetic style of Dickens.
The Practical Automobile Dictionary, by
Slgmund Krausz. $2. The Frederick A.
8tokes Company. New York City, and the

Twelve thousand technical terms and
other words employed in connection
with motor cars and motoring are giv
en in this valuable little volume of
129 pages the terms used being in
WROTE POEMS
these tongues: English-French-German:
French-English-German; and
German-French-English. For use In
office, factory, repair shop and touring

sensibly reminds us that the automo

titude of new words and added new
significance to hundreds of old ones.
In Onr Town, bu William "Allen White. Il
lustrations by F. R. Gruger and W. Glack
enB. McClure. Phillips & Co.. New York
City and the J.. K. Gill Co., Portland.
Mr. White writes of such a particularly
charming sort of town that one has a
profound conviction that it must be one
of the best places in this country for resi
dence purposes. And his book gives such
a flattering account of the section that
the price of lots there should increase
right away. Where is the location? Ah.
that Is a matter the author carefully
guards. In the first chapter he cau
tiously says:
Ours is a little town In that part of the
country called the West by those who live
east of the A Ueghanles. and referred to lov
ingly as "back East" by those who dwell
wet of the Rockies. It Is a country town
where, as the song goes, "you know every
body and they all know you," and the country-newspaper
offjee Is the' social clearing
house. The book, of 19 chapters, consists of
social essays telling how humanity looked
to the relator from his viewpoint as local
newspaper editor, and an afternoon news
paper editor at that, for in "Thirty" he
writes: "In the afternoon, between 2 and
3 o'clock, the messenger boy from the
telegraph office brings over the final
alieet of the day's report of the Asso
ciated Press." The personalities of the
different editors, reporters, printers, etc..
are sketched in most delightful, gossipy
fashion, and the peculiarities of various
other citizens of the town are also amus
ingly noted. In speaking of the society
editor. Mr. Whlw thoughtfully writes:
"At first, say for six months, after she
came to the office. Miss Larabee devoted
herself to the accumulation of profes
sional pride. This pride was as much a
part of her life as her pompadour, which
-at that time was so high that -she had
to tiptoe to reach It." This book will
prove a pleasant companion to all news
Iaper people, and those who are not.
Its smoothness, fine sentiment and ever
present charm make one recall the pleas
ures experienced in another famous book
of newspaper life, J. M. Barrie's "When
a Man's Single." Get "Our Town." It
Is one of the chief books of the season,
and will take you out of yourself into
gossipy dreamland where there are peo
ple worth knowing.
Tarty Leaders of the Time, by Charles
Willis Thompson. Illustrated. $t.75. The
G. W. Dillingham Company. New York
City, and the J. K. Gill Company. Port
land. Mr. Thompson's book of pen-portraits
and amusing character studies deals with
the most interesting personalities of what
may be called the Roosevelt period of
American history. Naturally. Mr. Roose.
velt comes In for a good deal of appre
ciative attention. Illustrations by means
of excellent portraits are given of the
public men noticed. Mr. Thompson, as
the AVashlngton (L. C.) correspondent of
the New York Times and the Philadel
phia Public Ledger, has enjoyed excep
tional opportunities to observe closely
those whom he describes, and his book
has this one great merit it Is nonparti
san. The style in composition is bright
and conversational. The Thompson
sketches tell about people of real flesh
and blood.
A Common-Sense Hell, by Arthur Richard
Rose. $1. G. W. Dillingham Company.
New York City, and the J. K. Gill Com
pany, Portland.
If this had been a scientific but dry
treatise on the question at Issue, the
book would have been passed by many.
But Mr. Rose writes a book consisting
of a series of letters on the subject, writ
ten between a Wall-street business man
and his son. The latter Is about to
graduate from Princeton University, and
wishes to become a minister of the gos
pel, but has various religious doubts. The
definite conclusion reached in these let
ters is that there Is no actual hell of
fire and brimstone to burn and consume
physical bodies, but that the punishment
of the guilty will be mental. A most cu
ripus line of argument Is unfolded.
A Little Sister of Destiny, by Gelett Bur

' Have you ever known a heroine called
Miss Million? She's in this collection of
short stories, and is Indeed one in mil
lions, being possessed of a spirit of ad
venture and an amotion to spend her
wealth to the advantage of others. She
seeks out and befriends people In various
walks of life, into which she enters tn
disguise. Mr. Burgess' light touch and
opulent fancy are afforded ample oppor
tunity In untangling the strange adven
tures and love affairs which weave them
selves Into this most modern of ro
mances. The Electoral System of the United States,
by J. Hampdn Dougherty. (2. G. P.
Putnam's Sons. New York City, and' thfl
J. K. Gill Company. Portland.
Who has not puzzled over the use of
the words In the Constitution of the
United States, "the votes shall then be
counted," after the provision requiring
the opening by the president of the Sen
ate, In the presence of the Senate and
the House of Representatives, of the re
turns. of the electoral college? The prob
lem has been the subject of lengthy de
1 bates in Congress.
Mr. Dougherty ehows that the Consti
tution is faulty In many respects, tiat
the dangers of the electoral sysem are
not commonly understood, and that when
once they are appreciated the electoral
system will be abolished. The Judgments
of the electoral commlslsons In Florida,
Louisiana, Oregon and South. Carolina are
reviewed, also the electoral commission
law of 1887. Finally, as a way out of the i
difficulty. Mr. Dougherty suggests the
adoption of a new amendment to the
United States Constitution an amend
ment of about 1600 words. His "way
out" Is a thoughtful study. His book
covers a new field and contains matter
of great Interest upon a subject of vital
Import.
Restoration and Revolution, being volume
XVIII of "The History of All Nations."
Lea Brothers & Co.. Philadelphia. Pa.
Theodor Flathe, of the famous school of
St. Afra. In Meissen, in Saxony, is re
sponsible for the 18th volume of this ad
mirable historical series, and he has di
vided the book under review into three
parts the restoration of peace following
the wars of Napoleon: the monarchy of
July and the French revolution of 1848.
It would be a waste of words to give an
historical summary of the events recorded
in the volume they are known to most
students, and Professor Flathe's opinions
and interpretations of history do not tell
a new story. He is candid, liberal and non
partisan. His word portraits of such
great men as Prince Metternlch, who be
gan to rule Europe when the . reins of
power dropped from Napoleon's nerveless
hands: Mehemet All. Louis Philippe,
Canning, the English statesman; Mar
tini, Thiers. Guizot, Bismarck, Louis Na
poleon as president, and others make up
the chief graphic charm of the volume.
The literary attraction Is strong and dry
details are deftly warped with fine sen
timent.
In speaking of the beginning of the
Victorian era In Great Britain, our au
thor remarks, "during which time the
world was born again," in its struggles
from the Iron domination of kings and
emperors to the dawn of new-found lib
erty when the peoples began largely to
rule themselves and to ficcept as their
chief magistrate one man chosen from
among the plain people. As usual, the
Illustrations and facsimiles of rare doc
uments a3d greatly to the value of the
work. The next volume In the series will
be devoted to a consideration of "The Re
construction of Europe."

Dr. Shuckburgh is a late fellow of Em
manuel College. Cambridge, and lecturer
In Ancient History tn University College,
London. In writing this special history
In "The Story of the Nations" series, the
present historian has laid stress on the
political, intellectual and artistic achieve
ments of thte Greeks rather than on the
history of their military operations al
though of course the latter have .not
been Ignored. The fruits of the latest
archaeological discoveries have been
wisely utilized in the preparation of this
book of 41S pages, and the result is that
the mental picture unfolded will give
young people a correct and unbiased view
of the Greeks as they actually lived, la

A re-issue of a deservedly famous

He makes love in a highly original man
ner to a girl physician, and the love tale
does not arrive at a round-up until the
last of the 19 chapters, when Chip says to
his Delia:

Linplncotfs. It is well told. "Hia Bridal
Trip" contains delicious humor.
-
"Outfits for Tramp and Camp." being hints
necwary to make a Summer vacation In the
woods a real miccess, and written by Edward
Howe Forbush. is the principal feature In the
June cumber of Suburban Life. Also read
"Planning An Automobile Vacation."

That interest In psychical phenomena still
possesses the public mind is clearly shown by
the fact that Professor James H. Hi slop's two
volume. "Science and a Future llfe"' and
"Enigmas of Psychical Research" are In con
stant demand. The last-mentioned book, pub
lished but a few weeks ago by Herbert B.
Turner & Co., has Just gone Into its second
edition.
;
In "The Stigma." Emily " Selkirk. the
daughter of a former slave overseer, has given
the other side of the race Question from that
which Thomas Dixon haa pictured. In sim
ple, straightforward style she hats in a novel
of unusual interest portrayed ttie depraved
brutality of a certain class f white men
when excited by race prejudice. It la a
warm answer to Mr. Dixon..
Mrs. Louise Morgan Sill, whose first vol
ume of poems, "In Sun and Shade," was
lately published by the Harpers and after
ward reviewed In these columns, la already
widely known through the verses she has pub
lished In magazines, her first poem having
appeared in the Century when she was only
17 years old. Mrs. Sill Is the daughter of
the- late Major-General Morgan L. Smith and
was bora in Honolulu. H. I., during her
father's Consul-Generalship there. She Is on
the editorial staff of Harper's Magazine.
"Petticoat Push.," by Rose Young. Is a
quaint little sketch, and all natives and oth
ers interested in America's Quaker city will
want to read "Philadelphia," by . Charles
Henry White, with etchings In tint by the
author get Harper's Magazine for them.
As "Broke of Covenden," now In Its fifth
American edition, was one of the distinctive
ly Important books of season before last,
and has continued to hold that eminence ever
since, the announcement of another novel by
John Col lis Snalth Is of Importance. Its title
is "Henry Northcote," and it will be Issued
in the Autumn by Herbert B. Turner A Co.,
who are also the publishers of "Broke of Cov
enden." Aside from Its Interest as a story, "If
Youth But Knew," by Agnes and Egerron
Castle, has an intensely picturesque back
ground. The scene Is laid among the Thu
ringlan Mountains, in that patchwork king
dom which Napoleon, iq the heyday of his
power, carved out of the old German soil
and gave, under the name of Royaume de
Westphalle, to his Inept brother Jerome.
The crisis takes place In the palace of that
Incredible court of Cassal which, for seven
years, had played at being a small Versailles
up to date; and which was finally scattered
on the morrow of Napoleon's downfall in
1813 by hordes of Cossacks. The old Ger
man life portrayed Is now fast being for
gotten; it Is almost inconceivable now that
Germany was once in large part governed
by French officials.
