This objection, though, must not be taken as sweeping; the fault is not impre&sio or general. Tlie author on Uio contrary possesses the dramatic tens to a, degrco and many of the situations are developed with due forco and skill. The story Is replete with dramatic incident and the opportunity for emotional devel opment Is abundant.

This lC-jeai-old girl Is nevertheless possessed . of a spirit, a pride, a will and a mind of her own.

It Is entitled ".Mississippi Argonauts, a Tale of the South," and doubtless will Lc read with deep interest by this prolific writer's large following. Ho has necr painted a lovelier heioino than the Hclenof these page1-, to whoso beauty and charms he has given tho llch setting of Colonial so ciety.

Ixmg continued demand for "Tho Colo nel's Opera Cloalv." Christine Brush's familiar comedy, is the excuse offered by the lubllsher for a new Illustrated edition at this time, and possibly tho excuse Is valid. There are few more delightfully humorous tiles than this of tho improvi dent and generous Southern family In re duced circumstances transported 'to the North where they become misfits. Little If row n and Company. i.v sumoi, i;i.. Tho profound theme of man's relation to the universe Is tho subject of Horace Dresser's "ilan and the Divine Order." In this the author alms to meet various practical and philosophical demands with out Insisting upon any one method except the spontaneous development of thought. IPs estaja have not been reduced to a consecutively developed whole, having been written at different times and with out reference to definite order. Tho funda mental thought of the hook Is dependent upon the empirical value of each chapter; empirical from first to last, the book will benefit tho reader In so far as tho leading Ideas aro tested not only by reference to accepted religious and philosophical stand ards, but In relation to the Ideas and reali ties of Individual experience. Published by Putnams Sons. rrom tho standpoint of people interested In spiritualism perhaps no more Interest ing book could bo forthcoming than Sara Welss's "Journeys. to tho Planet Mars." Mrs. Weiss Is a St. Louis writer, and the origin of her work is well-known to many local persons, the work having; been begun under peculiarly auspicious circumstances, it is rciid. It is a strangely attractive narrative, from the splritallstlc point of view. Quite apart from what It may be considered as a literary production. It con tains a quantity of unusual, philosophy and many passages of ethical value. Also It contains some "lovo episodes," of an Ideal and sentimental character. There aro several personalities In the narrative, of considerable Interest. Published by the author. No. 4S26 Cook avenue, St Louis. ,. i H. L. Finer, In "The Bunders of the Beautiful," published by Funk Wg nalls. has written a work of earnest re flection and uplifting suggestion upon the theme of tho correspondence of physical form and spiritual nature. The book is In a clear style, by ono who has delved much in tho lore ol master minds and who is at tho same time an original, practical stu dent of physiognomy and other kindred sciences and arts of expression. As Super intendent of the! State Institution for the Blind at AusUn,Tex Mr. Finer devoted at Any Price the Best WWW.VAVA'.WW. his work to the iphjslcally blind In order to help open the cj es of tho mind and soul to the truths fundamental to all higher culture. These truths are not presented by him as strikingly novel or original. On the contrary, he has printed In red on the margin of his pages quotations from noted writers, ancient and modern, that suggest and enforce these truths In telling phrases. Their purport is summed up In the au thor's preface: "Visible appearance Is but outward actualization of Inner life." A simple and condensed history of the days of '61 by Doctor Guy Carleton Lee of Johns Hopkins University is forthcoming form the press of tho J. B. Lipplncott Com pany, and Is entitled "The Truo History of the Civ il War." Doctor Carleton expressly disaffirms any arrogant assumption that his is tho onl true history of the conflict and pleads guilty to the mere arrogance of attempting to croiid Into such small space such a momentous narrative. The work Is especially readable because of several qualities a lucidity of presentation and a stjle possessing animation; exceptionally good print and numerous excellent Illus trations, aside from the subjict-matter, which bears tho stump of a scholar. Helen Kcllar's real entrance Into tho literary world Is marked by her esay "Optimism." published In book form by the Tliotms V. Crow ell Company, being her first vcrturc In original and Inde pendent authorship, and is in many re nctf even more remarkable than her life storv. It Is an exposition of her creed of cheerfulness and a. l.rolest against pes simism, especj illy tho ressimltm of Scho penhauer. Miss Kellar exhibits a. depth of reading, a considerable breadth of view and a Mle that is best described as ex presUve. , "The Natural History of Selborne by Gilbert White." edited with notes by Grant Allen and copiously Illustrated by Edmund Hew, comes anew to the literary nnd scientific world.

People v,ho seriously si"ek knowledge of beasts and birds, plants, flowers, rocks and fossils would not go back to the authors of the Eighteenth Century. White's letters are read partly for this purpose they consti tute a stepping stone In the development of biological thought; but are valued more as presenting graphic pictures of an In teresting phaso of existence, In a quaint and charming scene, and a nilnd-and-heart portrait of a rarely agreeable old Eighteenth Century gentleman. Published by John Lane. A. WORLD'S FAIR BOOK. "Out of a Fleur-de-Lls" Is a hook of St. Louis interest. It was written under unusual conditions. A portion of the man uscript was prepared in tho offices of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition Company and the remainder on board the United States monitor Arkansas while that mod ern fighting craft was voyaging up the Mississippi and Ohio rivers to participate in tho ceremonies Incident to the dedica tion of the grounds and buildings.

NOTES AND GOSSIP. Among the art books of the season on special subjects, Esther Singleton's 'Trench and English Furniture" probably takes the lead. After more than a. year spent In the preparation It Is at last an nounced by McClure. Phillips & Co. for publication this week. It takes up nil the distinctive stsles and periods of fur nishing and decoration In Trance and Eng land, the chapter headings being as fol lows: "Jacobean." "Louis XIII," "Queen Anne." "Loul3 XIV," "Louis XV," "Early Gcoraan." "Chippendale," "Louis XVI," "Sfceratnn," "Hcppclwhltc," "Empire," "Adam." Tho illustrations, "by II. D. Nichols, are especially notable and are the result of a great deal of research among rare volumes on cabinet-making and of long study from original pieces. Tlie book Ins seventy-two full page engravinss, which Include many hundred details. A number of pages of tho January De lineator are devoted to a description of Tars'fal," Wagner's great music-drama, which Is soon to be produced at the Metro politan Opera-house, Xew York City. The Illustrations aro remarkable, as they are mado from photosraphs never before pub lished. W. J. Henderson's Interpretation of the theme of tho opera Is very enlight ening, end the irsonal reminiscences of the first performance at Bajreuth, by Guctav Kobbe, arc no less Interesting. Jack London, author of "Tho Call of the Wild," contributes a dellshtful Etory, and thero 13 also a clever talo by Kathryn Jarboc, and tlie fourth Installment of ' The Evolution of a Club Woman," by Agnes Surbridge. Another feature Is tho introduc tory paper of "The Fountain of Yoath," a strikingly Illustrated series on personal beauty. In nddltion, there is a charming display of winter fashions and reliable fashion information, Including a letter from Mrs. Osboni, the foremost modiste in America; houso building and house fur nishing ideas; entertaining stories and pas times for children, and matters of Interest to women of all ages. Tho lovo for exciting books seems to havo been gratified to the point where people aro beginning to caro more than formerly for books of the opposite kind. This partly accounts for tho welcomo given to the recent book of dUeursive chapters In which Mr. Eden Phillpotts de scribes the country sights and sounds and beauties and Incidents of "My Devon Year," which has been spoken of as ono of tho most restful of recent books. In January, by tho way, the Macmlllan Com pany will publish tho new novel by Mr. 1'hlllpotls, "The American Prisoner." THE STRUCTUnU BEAUTIFUL. Tne soul of man Is the master builder. Tho problem In anatomical geometry Is this: Given certain bones, muscles, nerves, ftljors and tissues, all moved upon by spir it: To construct the grandest and noblest b mbols of the Inner life. Wltat aro the methods of accomplishing this? They are as deep as tho mysteries of God. and yet all we need to know Is so simple that a child may understand how to fashion his countenance Into the divine likeness. There are tvvelvo pairs of nerv es running from tho brain into the head and face, and thlrty-ono pairs from the spinal cord Into the body. These nerves with all their countless ramifications are acted upon by human Intelligence, either directly or by some mysterious process more remote, and 'as public carriers of the mind, like so many conscious electric currents with their telegraphic orders, they bear the messages out over tho motory circuit Into muscles and back ov er the sensory lines to the brain, reporting that the orders have been executed and obeyed. Muscular activity excites the circulation, creates heat, suffers waste, demands food. In the economy of nature tho muscle most used is most fed and nourished, and grows accordingly. Whenever tho muscle be comes larger and firmer than Its contigu ous muscles. It betrays the moods that have developed It. If, for example, the muscles of scorn aro employed constantly under their corresponding temper, they will bo fed and nourished for repair and growth, and, thus enlarged and hardened, tho look of scorn will become tho most prominent, permanent bearing of the fea tures. The expression once there, the question urges itself: How can it be removed? The answer is not far to seek. Get the scorn out of the life, and the scornful presence will vanish from tho countenance.

He Is well known ns the author of a number of strik ing outdoor articles. "On tho Angling Ships."

He Is on his present perilous Journey 700 miles Into the Labrador Wil dernesses at tho head of an Outing ex ploring party. If he comes out alive he will have an Interesting story to tell Out ing readers during the comlrig jear nbout his adventures among the primitive In dians on unmapped rivers and in frozen forests. Havo you read Emerson Hough's new book, "Tho Way to the West"? If not, you should. It will show you why all Jokes bom west of tho Mississippi Klver "aro labeled either as being from Texas or from Missouri: why all Southern Jokes are from Tennessee; and why all Yankee hu mor Is branded as coming from Maine, It will tell jou also that Massachusetts threatened to secede from tho Union long before the lavo question came up and for fear that tho West, when admitted to the Union, would trade with tho South that had settled It. In a word the book will tell sou a lot nbout jour own "Out West" that you do not know, and will codify for jou a lot of scattering acts that you ol-roadj- know but fail to appreciate.

The Incident reralneied one of tho Harper employes of a similar one that occurred somo j-ears ago In Cincinnati. An old woman brought a worn-out Bible to a publishing-house, explaining that It had been in her family 2 jcars. She asked tho publisher to make her a new ono Just like It, adding that sho was hen going to market, and would stop for the new Bible on her way homo, winding up with a query as to how much it would be. Appreciation of humor at the table Is largely a mattor of development and ac quirement. But once acquired. It Is hard to shake off; which Is good for tho Ilwir. A laugh between courses Is better than the best digestive agents bottled in Christendom. If I were asked to prescribe a diet for a chronic djspeptlc I think I would fix up a menu like tills: Outer on Bill Nya half-Ehell, Scalloped Mark Twain, Cervantes Dressing, Artemus Ward Santiirfche. Roast of Bob Iiurfette. Potatoes a la Dean Rwift, Enlad of Juvenal. Dlckoni trout. Munchausen banc. Bret Jtarto CIshit. Aleelt fawcet Checaa, Wine of -Wit. I wculd recommend this menu to be ad hered to as closely as possiblo three times a day, with light lunch of the same before retiring. If, in the course of an ordinary treatment tho patient did not show marked signs of Improvement, or. Indeed, complete recovery, I would get Chauncey Depcw to wait on the table for lilm. That falling. I would close up the Job aa a poor contract, and send for tho um'ertaker. From "Humor nt the Table as a Prevent ive of Dj-spcpsla," by Henry Edward Warner In December What to Eat. XEW BOOKS RECEIVED.
