One of the Important books of tho week

Mitchell, "Circumstances," a master
piece of fiction describing modern life nnd

ethics of life. The affairs of n group of
relatives and friends In an American city

"The Destruction of Ancient Home," ly
Tlodotfo Lahclnni, professor of ancient
topography In the University of Rome,
mms up briefly the results of researches
extending over many yearc, In regard to
the fate cf the buildings and masterpieces
of art In ancient' Rome. In his work upon

"My Strangest Case," by Guy floothby, Is
In many wnys the strongest and most Inter
esting tiocl yet written by that luterestlug
author. It Is a detective stcry which is
h now departure for Mr. Boothby. It has
to do with burled treasures stolen from
tho ruined palaces of a forgotten city In
China by three adventurers, one of whom
tricks his partners and escapes with the
hnrd won spoils. From the east the scene
nhlfts to London, Paris and Itnly, In tho
endeavor by the hero, the detective, to
track the principal adventurer and restore
to the hitter's partners their portion of the
stolen treasure. The hero proves himself
to be u second Sherlock Holmes In acumen.
The story hold's one's Interest to the last,
The Century Company, New York.
Another took, "Dunstable Weir," from
the pen of that talented writer known lu
literature no "Back" and lu private life as
Gwendoline Keats, Is at hand, and consists
of a collection of short fiction distinctly
brilliant both In style and execution. Koch
new book from this pen has naW a peculiar
interest, due to the rapid development of
k rare taWnt that may attain no one knows
what end. Back's first book, "Life is Life,"
embodying the best stories written since
the beginning of her literary career In 1896,
made ii distinct Impression nnd placed her
securely In the literary fold. Her second
hook, "On Trial," was a powerful novel
marking a long stride forward. Her third
book, "Tho Whlto Cottage," out last Bprlng
nnd in Its second edition, indicates a
further advance In achievement and popu
larity. Charles Scrlbner's Sons, New York
"Tho Fireside Sphinx" Is by Agnes Rep-
pller. author of "Points of View" and "Es
says In Idleness." "The Fireside Sphinx'
Is tho "suave und-puissant cat," whose his
tory Miss Ucppller traces with loving
kollc.ltudc from Its first appearance by tho
Nile down to the present day. She has fol
lowed their fortunes through dark days and
bright, through periods of persecution and
nf triumph, The bonk should appeal to
lovers of literature no less than to lovers
of cats, since it has the literary quality
which lends distinction and vivacity to all
Mlhh Iteppller's work. Miss Honsnll's Illus
trations are exceedingly Interesting. Thoro
are four full-page studies of catB, drawn
with admirable skill and delicacy. Artistic
head and tall pieces add to the charm ot
the book. Houghton Mlfllln & Co., Boston,

of such a wo'k, are Dr. Yale, for many years

from questions which havo actually been

It Is a good, scnalble, practical work

Mr. Samuel Mcrwln, whose Joint author
ship of "Tho Short Mnn War" marked him

It Is, to Bny the least, a thoroughly honest
nnd admirable work. Doublcday, I'ago &

Henry Frank, the author of "The Doom
of Dogn.a and the Dawn of Truth," has de
parted widely from the traditional methods
of biblical Interpretation, nnd yet treats
the subject with rcverenco and without
that destructive spirit which actuates many
radical critics of the present day. Ho sayB
that ho has not undertaken the work merely
to tear down old institutions, but that he
believes that he has substituted a new In
terpretation of the truth for every struc
ture demolished. Mr. Frank was for somo
years h minister of the orthodox church,
but was finally led to construct an Inde
pendent system of religious Instruction. O.

"The Kalry Land of America" Is a Juve
nile and yet It Is one of those books occa
sionally met with which appeals almost as
Btr'ongly to the grown-ups. There Is some
thing very real and nt the same time en.
trrtalnlng about the stories. Very few chil
dren's books are humorous, but this one Is
distinctly so. On the side of Its humor It
might he styled a nonsenso book. It Is a
tale of topsy-turvy land, In which nothing
happens In the ordinary way, and only tho
bizarre occurs. Frederick A. Stokes corn

Kirk Munroe's book for this season deals
with what many consider the most romantlev
episode In our history, the opening of Japan.
He calls It "A Son of Satsumn, or with
Perry In Japan." The hero of the story
is not. however, literally a "Son of Sat-
Btima," for ho Is a bright and ndventuroua
American boy. who gbes to Japan with
Commodore Perry and there meets with
tho most surprising and romantic adven
turcs, all most skillfully tuincd to the pur
pose of .Impressing tho reader with the
main fncts, the atmosphere and the enor

"The Story of Little Nell" Is the latest
addition to the series of eclectic school
readings, so widely and favorably known
to teachers. It comprises the groundwork
nnd much the larger portion of "The Old
Curiosity Shop" and Is given In the pres
ent volume Just as Dickens wrote It, but
freed from the various episodes and other
passages originally employed to Introduce
other characters. The story, thus abridged
and confined solely to the relation nf the
pathetic adventures of Its heroine, will ap
peal especially to young renders. American

"The Double Prince, Or a Fall Through
the Moon" Is one of the drollest, most or

Many hair preparations are "fake" be
cause they are merely scalp Irritants. They
often cause a dryness, making the hair
brittle, and. finally, lifeless. Dandruff Is
tho cause of all trouble with hair. It Is a
germ disease. Tho germ makes cuticle
scales ns it digs to the root of the hair,
whero It destroys the hair's vitality, caus
ing the ralr to fall out. To cure dandruff,
the germ must be killed. "Destroy the
cause, yen remove tho effect." Newbro's
Herplcldo Is tho only hair preparation that
kills the dandruff germ, thereby leaving
tho hair to grow luxuriantly.

A few pointed romarl!3 lu robust Anglo-
Saxon embodied In a veto from Maor
Moori'H ealisoil a consldrrahlo stir at the
meeting of tho city council Inst night. The
veto reads:
1 return herewith without nil nitnrnvnl
document .HSI7, passed hy your huuorahlo
body ut your last regular meeting, October
S9, 1001. This document Is u resolution au
thorizing tnu city comptroller to pliieo ut
Item III the next rinuronrhitlnn nrillminen
of S1U) In favor of J. I.cverton, to be tiiken
irom ino general tuiui.
1 veto this resolution In the llrst- nlime he.
cause It Is ordered that tho amount of $100
he taken out of the general fund, Instead of
tno park rund, which is tho proper fund
from which said claim should he puld. if it n
honest one. In the second place, I do not
consider this clntm a Just one and ono tho
taxpayers should pay. In tho papers re
lating to this mutter found lu the city
clerk's ottlee I II ml that this man J. I.ever
ton had a horse killed through the careless
ness, ns no eiaims. or tno rorcmiin or the
work, one .McCloud. There Is nothing In
the claim of Mr I.cvertnn that shows anv
fault on the part of the city, and It looks to
me like a clean steal of siou. I therefore
veto this resolution.
When It came to a vote the veto was
unanimously sustained by the council, hut
Mr. Ilascnll took exceptions to having the
alleged claim dubbed a "stonl." Mo stated
that It was as square and sound a claim as
was ever filed and that there was no doubt
of the city's liability. All the members
of the Hoard of Park Commissioners had
approved It. It seems that Leverlon's
horse was killed while ho was working
with the animal on tho Improvements In
Miller park. Further discussion of tho
matter resulted In the sustaining of tho
veto and tho affair was left open.
In a formal communication to the council
Mayor Moores announced the appointment
of John W. Dattln and Edgar Zabrlskt to
