"The Span o' Life. " by William McLen
nan and J. N. 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 ,

"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 ,

Last year much Interest was manifested
In the alleged discovery by Prof. Schenuk of
Vienna , Austria , of the law governing the
determination of sex In embr > o. 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. The title of the work

"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

"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

NEW IHCil SCHOOL FEATURES

SOME IDEAS OF SUPERINTENDENT PEARSE

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.

warm friend of the ex-treasurer , called on
him _ at the penitentiary the other day , and
he says that but for his mental anxiety his
physical condition Is excellent. Bolln told
him that he was feeling exceptionally well
but ho was continually worrying on account
of his family. He seems to Ihink lhat the >
need him and chafes over the fact thai he
li compelled to remain In Jail and let them
get""along as best they can. Bolln stll
hopes thai his sentence will eventually be
commuted , but nothing has jet been done
in that direction.

llnnUorn.
At the weekly meeting of the executive
committee of the Commercial club Ihe ques-
llon of bank clearings was again discussed.
Chairman Marlln reported that he and sev
eral other members of the club had visited
Mr. Cudahy and had a long talk with him.
He stated that Mr. Cudahy expressed his
willingness to do all In his power toward
remedying the present condition. Mr.
Cudahy believed , however , thai the position
of Ihe South Omaha National bank was
correct , and that on alternllon would be
made only at a cost to it of something like
115,000 per year. He would meet the dli i
rectors of the bank , however , and see what I
he could do toward securing a solution of
the difficulty. Mr. Bensqn of the Omaha j
Real Estate exchange was preaenl and re-
porled al some lenglh on the Investigation
made by him and H. T. Clarke. He said he
believed the matter could be arranged satis
factorily because , as near as he could learn ,
Ihe old sjslem Involved no change of funds ,
the balances being made by check. The
question was finally disposed of by authoriz
ing Chairman Martin to appoint a commit
tee of five members of Ihe club to visit the
banks and see what could be done toward
settling the difficulty.
L. C. Harding , secretary of the Omaha
Board of Trade , filed an objection to the
large bulletin board used In the Commer
cial club rooms. He said it was filled with
celluloid cards , which would Ignite In
stantly If a match were struck near It. The
matler was referred to the secretary.
