\ IALuABLE contributions to curren. po-

from three eminent pens. crystallizei under
the comprehensive title of "America and

iished by Robert Beall of this city. From
the earliest TO the latest there has been
flood of books on the subject and the
booksellers, with the greatest difficulty,
keep abreast their orders. "Our poetry,
biography, travel, and science shelves are
suffering at the expense of the publica-
tions on politics. said Mr.. Beall, talking
of this newly-important branch of book
selling. From the rush, which is COM
ing from both directions, supply and de-
mand, it is evident that the campaign OF
'96 is to surpass any predecessor in point
OF literary output. Political writing at
this date is giving actual fiction a hard
push for productive exten sion. Nearly
every day brings new book on the fnan-
ciaf question, and of these nearly every one
is silver textbook. Maybe the lethargy of
the gold men is the quiet OF security, but
know from my own and fellow booksellers
orders that a vast majority OF the OUTPUT
will create silver sentiment or nothing.

= HE revival of interest in the case and
career of the Maid of Orleans dur
ing the past twelve months which
has fortunately exhibited enough
stability to escape the imputa ton of
being Il fad, has brought forward three i'm
portant contributions to the history of Joan
Of Arc. The Putnams have taken oppor-
tune occasion to add the biography of the
French heroine to their Heroes of the Ma
tion's series, which has come d its grow

Of hleimportance. The author
pf the biography in question is Mrs. Oil

letters is too secure to need qua lif wing
In this instance brilliancy and embeliish-
ment have been sacrificed 10 the evident
sincerity of the author to bring new lights
OH the many mooted questions in the life
Of the child of Doremy. But so peculiarly
romantic is the atmosphere that surrounds
every item OF Joan of Arcs career that

RESTAURANT OMNIBUSES.
An Innovation Which Delights th'
People Of Berlin.

A curious innovation has been introduced
by the Berlin Omnibus Company. This com
pany has placed into service ten restaurant
'bIsses. running between the center of Berlin
and the outlying suburbs. wherein various
refreshments. hot coffee and tea, are dis
pensed ut very reasonable rates during the
trip II seems that this innovation meets
with general favor, particularly at night,
when the public, coming from places of
amusement. take their refreshments on the
way home instead OF tarrying in the res
taurants in town.
Another novelty are small checks OF
aluminium issued by the company in place
OF tickets: since they sell eleven sGch
checks for 1 mark. and each check entities
TO Il ride for which 10 pfenningS in currency
must be paid. there was a great rush for
such checks at the company's office. and
the receipts for the first two days amounted
to 600 marks.
