A volume containing five stories, or
sketches, by Joseph Conrad, is published
under the title of Tales of Unrest" The
title is rather apt. since the stories deal
with sad scenes and stormy passions. They
are not of the sea, as most of the author >
stories are, but rather of phases of life
and emotions common to humanity. The
sketches have not much plot but as por-
trayals of life and character they are
strong. New York: Charles Scribners Sons.

Work That Has the Merit of Novelty.


Work That Has the Merit of Novelty.
Just two years ago this month Mr.. Harry
De Windt left New York for Paris by land.
His proposed route lay from New York to
Juneau, in Alaska; from Juneau across the
Chilcat pass to chain of lakes at the head
of the Great Yukon river, and down the
Yukon to Fort Michael, on Boring sea. The
crossing of Boring straits was. if possible,
to be accomplished over the ice. In Siberia
his objective point was the remote settle
ment of Anadyrsk. where there is bi-yearly
communication with st. Petersburg, about
5000 miles distant. From Anadyrsk he ex
pected to gain the city of Irkoutsk and pro-
coed thence to Europe by road and railway.
The plan was not fully carried out. for the
crossing of Bering straits was made on
United States revenue cutter. Nevertheless,
the journey was an interesting and perilous
f 2ne and it e Ts Of escFesS in to serg
Straits" The journey across Alaska, then
comparatively new, has since become COM

pass, since experienced by thousands. and
the risks of the rapids further on are
graphically portrayed. and the picture
very interesting in connection with recent
events. Joe Ladue had not yet discovered
his bonanza, and was a very diSconsolate

and reaching the coast of Asia the author

Thackerov,s Works.

In compliance with the expressed --'sh of
w. NJ. Thackeray no authorized bi 'phy

edition of his books his daughter, Mrs.
Richie, has written memoir for each vol
ume. The edition, issued by Harper &
Bros, is called 1.-THE Biographical Edition. -
and will comprise the authors complete
works. The Introductory memoirs by his
daughter will comprise additional material
and hitherto unpublished letters, sketches
and drawings derived from the authors
original manuscripts and notebooks. This
comes as near being biography of Thack-
cray as his request would permit. In this
addition his works will be arranged, as far
as possible, in chronological order and
each novel will be contained in a single
volume. In pursuance of this plan the first
voume issued is Vanity Fair: A Novel
Without a. Hero" OF the merits of this

readers wherever the English language is
read. This edition, which, by the way. is
printed from new type, contains twenty
full-page illustrations by the author, eleven
wood cuts. a facsimile letter and a new

the biographical introduction by. Mrs

New York, on April Is, and volume will
be issued monthly hereafter completing
