"AIa dame Izan."

Madame Izan," by Mrs. Campbell

For sale by the St. Paul Book and Sta
tIonery company.
This tourist story picks the reader up
at Hong Kong and takes him over the
seas to the ffowery kingdom, in company
vague, young goddess, born poor, and
blind since 5 years of age, but suddenly
restored to. sight through the grace and
cash of Australian uncle, who leaves
her rich by his sudden death soon after.
Another Australian, Windeatt, falls deS-
perately in love with the woman at first
sight in Hong Kong, and follows her
across to Japan, where he is discounted
and defeated by a Japanese gentleman,
who acts as a courier, but proves to be
the womans husband in disguise, from
church door by her uncle aforesaid. The
Jap wins the girl and she consents to re-
main as his wife, chiefly through his
good manners and his knowledge of the
old customs of his country. The descfip-
lions are good, there is really consider
able information about Japan in the
book, and the story has some quite I'M
usual elements But the presumption
that because a girl has been blind since
years of age, therefore she must needs
be slow in discovering that she is a
sight. is not based upon any close obser-
walton of the facts. Nine. Ian is rather
impossible. but she is very nice.

Cobban. Il mo-, 343 PIP. D. Appleton 81
Co. New York.
There is plenty of movement and not
a. little vividness in Mr.. Cobban's narra-
tive of the terrible adventure of James
Graham. The volunteer expiator of the
murder of his own father, crime he
did not do, to shield his mother, who
did not do it, either, he is sentenced
to penal servitude for fifteen years, es-
cjtpcs through the Intervention of a mys-
FERROUS stranger of ineXplicable interest,
AMI is finally pardoned on the confess
sion and suicide of the real culprit. a
charming actress, who is detected by
combination of luck and instinct on the
part of Graham's ever-faithful sweet
heart. Nelly Townshend, the mysterious,
although suggestive of the impossible
onnipresents of the penny dreadfuls,"
Is a most agreeably drawn character, and
the pursuit of his protege by the police
is very graphically told. The story Is
much better than merely readable.

''The Fate of the Black Eagle"
1.-THE, Fate Of the Black Eagle" and
other stories. Russell D. Smith. 274 pp.
Cloth. f. Tennyson~ Nicely, Philadelphia.
One of the stories in Mr.. Smiths
collection is located In Minnesota, and
some local interest attaches thereto, al
though Mr.. Smith does betray some ig-
norance, or contempt, for Minnesota's
geography, by locating the heroes of
Green, White and Red on the Fox
river eighty miles due northwest of st.
Paul, and giving them a copper mine for
near neighbors. If there is either Fox
river or a copper mine in the portion of
Morrison county directly contiguous to
a point eighty miles due northwest Of st.
Paul, it has not been matter Of pub
lie knowledge However, Green, White
and Red is a clever narrative of how a

is quite thrilling, and 1.-THE Air Tandem

Lake Ieslin's Latest.

J. II. Greer, agent for the White Pass and Skagway railway, in an in terview with the Seattle Times, said:
 "Regarding the Atlin discoveries, from all reports which have had con corning them. both from our repre- sentatives there and from personal friends. it is certain that the district has only begun to show up in it's true light. Only the other day l was called upon by friend of mine, who had gone into that country in the early spring with another companion, to prospect for placer diggings. They went into the Teslin Lake country about POO miles from where the new Atlin dis trict is situated. and from the beach sand of d little lake in the viciuity of Lake Tesln took from the surface pans an averi ge amount of from DOC. to 60c.
 "The above is absolutely true as l know the man personally. As yet on- ly the creeks running directly into or near the Atlin river have been pros pected, and they have been only given a surface examination. look. as cv- cry one else does who is acquainted with the rountry's prospects, for d large rush in there via the Stikeen River in the early spring, and there k no doubt that the country will in the end outdo the famous klondike.

 He comes into the world without his consent and goes out of it agaiust his will and the trip between is exceed ingly rocky. The rule of contraries is one of the important featuces of the trip. When he is little the grown girls kiss him. and when he is grown the little girls kiss him: if he raises q large family he is called mustard, but if he raises small check he is a thief and d fraud and is summed like Il Chinaman with the seven-ycar itch: if he is poor he is a bad manager. if he is rich he is dishonest; if he is in pOi- ties he is for pie, if he is out of politics you cant tell where to place him and he is no good to his country: if he does an act of charity it is policy, if he doesn't give to charity he is an old curmudgeon. a stingy cuss and lives only for himself; if he dies young there "aS SfSaC i"ture ociore iliiii' Il hc lives to an old age he has missed his calling. He is introduced into the world by doctor and to the next by the same process. and the little nich that he has filled in life is closed, and the world that once knew him will know him no more forever Verify the road is rocky but man has to travel it.

 "Thc counselor elaborated on the merit of the points in the resolution especially showing the need of the joint high commission $ meeting on the coast before adjournment. Especially was thi, latter course necessary in view of the complications arising from the British Columbian course.
 "The relationship of the provincial government to the Dominion govern ment was spoken of by Chairman Clark, who said that when British Columbia was organized as d province it was given special privileges in having ab- solute control over it's own lands. There was, however, a possible consti- tutional question involved in the placer amendment in that free miners licenses were granted, carrying with them the right of location, and that the govern ment was refusing to recognize these location privileges. This acts effect on international relations was also one that might legitimatize Ottawan in- terference."
