"The American Colonial Handbook , " by T , Campbell-Copeland , Is a little book that Is a model of compactness.

Mcllwruith , is at hand. A very interesting point in the consideration of this romance of the French and Indian war Is that It Is written in collaboration bj a man and a woman and yet It is quite Im possible to distinguish the work of Miss Mc- Il-vralth from that of the author of "Spanish John. " No period of now world history Is BO dramatic , so suggestive , for the writers o historical romance as the period of whlcl "The Span o' Life" treats. It Is the slory of the fortunes and misfortunes of the Rhevaller Maxwell , an adherent of the 111 starred Prince Charles. Before the rebellion Maxwell had married a tradesman's daugh ter , but the marriage had been kept a close secret because of Maxwell's family. When the chevalier cast his lot with Prince Charles he had left his young wife at home and when her child was born and the mother had no evidence to show that she had been honorably married the disgrace was more than could be borne. She came to London , took lodgings and supported herself and child by sewing After the disastrous battle of Ciilloden the hero Is forced to lay In hid ing In an obscure lodging house In London , but as the agents of the House of Hanover learn of his place nf concealment , h's friends conduct him to the home of the little seamstress In Wych street who Is his wife. She believes , however , that he has willfully deserted her ; under no circumstances will she consent to a reconciliation. As for the chevalier , he loses hope of winning again her favor and when he Is offered a commis sion In the French army he accep s It glajly V He Is sent at once to Canada to the garrison at Loulsbourg. Before leaving London , however - over , his cousin , knowing nothing of his marriage , has fallen lu love with him , and when hie tellers from Ihe new world cease to come she prepares to follow him. By Homo freak of fortune she secures as her maid the chevaller'3 wife the little seams tress of Wych street and they come to Canada together. The rest of the story makes ono of the most fascinating narra tives that modern romantic fiction affords. The wanderings of the two women through the wilds of Canada , the scenes attending the fall of Quebec , all lead up to a denoue ment that must be known to be appreciated , Harptr & Bros. , New York. "Tho Procession of Life , " a novel by Horace Annr ley Vachell , forms No 259 ol Applcton's Town and Country Library. Thf author has already published several bookf that have met with considerable favor. II will doubtless be something of a surprise to many ot bla readers to know that he Is 3 an Englishman who has for a number ol jtars made his home In America.

"A Tent of Grace" Is a new novel b ; Adcllna C. Lust. It is a story quite out o the common course and distinctly above th ordinary novel la power an I in tres * The scene Is 1 M in Germany and the time l bout the middle of this century The motif of the story is the deep gulf of racial distinctions , the Impassable gulf between i the Christian and the Jew The heroine Is a beautiful Jewess , rescued when a child ' from a mob of children and attaining a noble womanhood under the tottering care of the pastor of the German village and his wife. She Is loved by Christian and Jew and the struggle In her mind between the commanding force ot her religious tradition and the Intense force of her affection Is described with perfect understanding and remarkable power. Without telling more of the story , It Is safe to say that few novels possess elements of stronger Interest , ew are written with a keener sense of the raglc possibilities Involved and few leave ho redder more Impressed with "all that uiraan hearts endure.

Two rivals for the hand of a fair German aeauty. who looked with equal favor upon } 0th , agree to decide which one of them shall quit the field by fighting a duel , not with swords or pistols , but with n game of chess.

The book is tastefully printed on deckle-edge paper , Illustrated with three full- page halt-tones and bound In cloth , with cover decorations by the author. Funk & Wagnalls company , New York.

It Is now- shown that this discovery was practically anticipated by an American , Dr. Samuel H. Terry , who died In New York In ISO I , and who , In ISSS , had published a volume on the subject. This volume Is reproduced by Min nie Terry , a daughter ot the deceased phy sician , In proof that her falhcr discovered , applied and published a Iheory which , more than ten jears later , Prof. Schenck gave to the world as his own.

"How to Know the Ferns" Is a guide to the names , haunts and habits of our com mon ferns by Frances Theodora Parson * , author of "How to Know the Wild Flow ers. " At first glance the ferns furnish but a barren field from which to pluck garlands. They are so common. They lack the colors and perfumer that lend to flowers no small part ot their charms. But yet upon closer view it will be found that they have ati enticement and an Interest both unique and characterlsllc. It was not until 1S4S lhat the development of the fern was first sat isfactorily explained. There Is. therefore , n comparative freshness of Ihe aubjecl that geology , astronomy and some other branches of science do not possess. Tht Inspiration that entered Into and made "How to Know the Wild Flowers" FO de- I servedly popular has not been lost in "How i to Know the Ferns , " and if the one who ' makes two blades of grass to grow where only ono formerly grew is worthy of praise i siirely the author of a book like this , that i adds to the enjoyment and benefit possi bilities of life. Is worthy of being regarded as a benefactor. Charles Scrlbner's Sons | I New York. Cloth , $1.50. "Under Three Flags" Is the quaint title chosen by Rev. G. W. Pepper for a story o his eventful life. Dr. Pepper Is nn Irish man by birth , an American citizen from choice. As a boy he witnessed the horrors of the famine years of 1847-8 and his young mind was so Impressed with the Injustice cruelly and Inhumanlly of alien govern- menl In his nallve land that his devotion to the cause of Irish liberty has not waverei to this day. Dr. Pepper came to the Unltei States In 1S34 , settled In Ohio and entered Ihe ministry. When the civil war broke ou he raised a company and went to the fron as Its captain. After the war he returned to the Ohio circuit. In 1800 he was np pointed United States consul at Milan , where he remained several years. The story o his eventful career Is lold in this volume with delightful simplicity. The sketches o war experiences , of foreign lands and pee pies , of foreign and American notables ant recollections and anecdotes are highly en tertalnlng. There Is not a dull page in th whole book. It Is more readable and ab sorblng than a fiction classic. Publtbhei by the Author , Cleveland , O. Price $2. Books received : "Tho Stolen Story and Other Stories , " b Jesse Lynch Williams.

SOME IDEAS OF SUPERINTENDENT PEARSE Itonm * I'ntt lie 1'riM liloil fur I'ro- | iocil .Sr lfinrlinciil , Which ullli KiiuliiiiH-iil , \\llt foit .Nut Over iftO,0MI. ; ( Extensive and well equipped scientific laboratories and a manual training depart ment may bu made features of the new High school building , the construction ot which Is to be commenced this summer. Superintendent ot Schools Pearse Is Insistent that these departments shall receive con siderable attention and a number ot the members of the Board of Education arc with him. him.This This furnishes one ot the problems that the school officials must next solve. A beginning has already been made on the solution , the committee on High school being Instructed to determine the amount that shall be set aside out ot the 1150,000 High school bonds for the department mentioned. The amount will be kept as low as possible , for what ever It Is It means that so much less shall be expended upon the High school proper , for the school officials seem to be quite unanimous that this expense for special de partments must come out ot the bonds. Superintendent 1'earse has studied the matter , and has some well defined Ideas upon t. For example , ho thinks that seven oems should bo set aside In the new build- ng as scientific laboratories. Three of these ire to form the physical laboratory , two the > lologlcal laboratory and two the chemical aboratory. Then he believes that one ot ho ends ot the building should be for the use of the manual training department. In his opinion the west forty feet of the 200 eel length of the building , the entire width ot 100 feet and all three stories within this Bpaco should be turned over to the depart ment. "Of course , this Is solely my Idea , and ho board may have an entirely different one. " aajs Superintendent Pearse. "The seven rooms that are set aside for the aboratorles In this plan would not bo too arge for our High school attendance now , If ho sciences were taught as they should be. \nd while our manual training school at tendance at present may not be large enough to warrant the space I have allowed for it , you will find that the number of students will Increase greatly If additional and better- equipped quarters are provided. As to the cost of these features of Itie building , I can only estimate it from what other cities have expended for similar de partments. I would say that In other cities of Omaha's size between J5.000 and } 13,000 has been spent upon the manual training department , and between $12,000 and ? 35- 000 for the equipment of the laboratories. \Ve would want neither the largest nor the smallest of such departments , but rather what you might call the golden mean. 1 would therefore estimate that It would cost some JS.OOO or $10,000 for such a manual training department as Omaha should have and some $18,000 cr $20,000 for the labora tories. " If Superintendent Pcarso's Idea Is carried out these departments will call for an ex penditure of between $23,000 and $30,000. Deducting this from the $130.000 that may be used for the High school , the cost of the building proper must be reduced to less than $123,000. One-half of the premium for the bonds may be added to this , bringing Hie total available to $135,000. Providing the bulldin ? Is of a plain character , but fully- fireproof , this will permit ot the erection of a twenty-seven room school house , the calculation being based on a rate ot $5,00o a room. Some of the board members are not In clined to spend as ranch money as sug gested by the superintendent on these de partments , but as yet they have not any very definite Ideas on the matter. .Hv > ullo\\i-il HIM Fnlne Tooth.

WORTHINGTON'S COADJUTOR f > pvornl I'mm In-nt Clri-R } turn Are .Mt'iitloniMl for the Important 1'oMtlon. Interest In the selection of n coadjutor lo BUUop Worihlngton In the diocese ot Nebraska Is growing , and the session of the council to bo held In this city May IS promises to be replete with friendly rivalry. The clergymen In the diocese have their Individual Idea ot the kind ot man who ought to be selected , and are already In some Instances Irving to Impress thett- Mews upon others who may have a voice In making the selection. \mong those mentioned In connection with the posltlrn of coadjutor are Dean Campbell Fair of Trinity cathedral , Rev. George E. Walk , formerly rector of the Church of the Good Shepherd In this city , but now * located at Council Bluffs ; Hev. J. P. D. Llwyd , nlso formerly attached to the Church of the Good Shepherd , but now lu Washington : Rev. Clay Garrctt of Port land , Ore. , Father Huntlngton of New York and several others from outside the state. The delegation from Trinity cathedral par ish has been instructed to vote for Dean Fair , and It Is understood some of the other parishes out In the state will support him There will be between twenty and twen ty-five clergymen In the council and be > tween thirty and fifty lay delegates. It will require a majority to elect provided two thirds of the membership of the council 1s present , and It less than that number Is In attendance a two-thirds vote will bo necessary. Th'e salary of the bishop Is $3,600 , and It Is understood that Bishop Worthington will relinquish all but the $600. This will leave $3,000 for the coadjutor , which Is consid ered a good enough ealary to secure an cx- cellent man for the place.
