This Indian story is absolutely new in
it's lire and quite unique. The author.
Ernest Albert jerks, Phi. d., of Madison,
Wis, explains in preface that il is a true
story-that is, all true to the Ojibwa child
he believes 1t. Ii is written. he goes on
TO say, with no other purpose than TO have
constantly in mind what the Ojibwa child
believes about the events of his every
day life as given in the narrative. The in
cidents related are said to be taken di-
rectly from the everyday life of the people.
Why events that seem strange to the
white child are matters of course to the
young Indian is explained thus: THE
World of Things does not mean to the
Indian what 1t means 10 us. II is diff
ficult, almost impossible, for him TO diff
ferentiate himself from the other, So
called. lower animals. He and they both
had the same ancestors long ago. One
myth says, Many, many winters ago there
were many buffalo; after four days part
OF the buffalo turned to Indians In some
things the Indian believes himself superior
10 the other animals. while In many things
he as truly believes himself inferior to
them" Books about Indians, even In
dian children. are common enough, but in
all they are treated of from the stand
point of the white man who writes about
a standpoint usually entirely apart in SYM
patty and even understanding. Thus to
get story of Indian life with events rep
resented from the Indian point of view is,
fl Is seen, complete novelty. The reader
obtains new idea OF the character and
mental life of the red man. 1t Is cleverly
drawn picture of the Indian world, work
of fiction, but yet realistic. Ii depicts most
clearly and throws into interesting light
their life, their relations with the peculiar
world surrounding them. their regard for
animals. their mythology and their religion,
The book is highly commended by persons
familiar with the Indian life, and is pro-
nounced ethnologically correct by w. II.
Melee, of the Bureau of American Ethnol-
ogy OF the Smithsonian Institution. Mar

add to his repute. The theme is unique,
and original, and is handled by the IL

has portrayed some distinctive character

In the judgment of critics and discriminate
ing readers none of the novels of Alex
vention. more unfiagging enthusiasm Of
description. more brilliant vivacity of con-
yersation or a lighter touch than the series
OF romances beginning with Marguerite
of Valois" and followed by THE Dame de
,Mousoreau' and THE Three Guardsmen."
However far the author may wander in
these stories from the verisimilitude of
history, however incredible the adventures
OF some of his heroes may be, there is
something about them that rivets the at
tention and charms the reader. They be-
long i'm the highest class of novels written
without any purpose but TO entertain. The
three above named, translated from the
French very carefully into excellent En-
glish and admirably illustrated. are pub
lished in attractive form by Thomas Y.
Crowell & Co, New York. This edition of
the ''Valois Romances' would grace any
library.

Our Nations Need.

The scope and argument of this work
are indicated by its subtitle-"Let Us All
Divide Up and Start Even" According to
the author, G. A. Conwell, the true and
only effective remedy for existing social
and economic evils is a division of the
starting anew. He is frank enough to
admit that 1.-The measure will not impress
the mind favorably at first thought"
Probably not and he devotes 240 closely
printed pages to setting forth the feasibil-
ity and desirability of the plan. This Is
done in a temperate and Christian spirit.
1t is but fair to say that the author writes
like one who is sincere, disinterested and
DESTROYS of promoting the general welfare.
though probably he would profit by the
general divide. New York: q. S. Ogilvie

Ar. Chamberlain reviews In some detail
the bills reported 10 the Senate and House
of Representatives known as tho subsidy
bills, with illustrations of the difference In
cost of building and operating American
and British steamships at the present time
1t is shown that the subsidies proposed
generally equalize those differences.
A freight steamship carrying 5000 tons
cargo now costs $4,000 In the United
States, compared with $4,000 in Great
Britain though steel is much cheaper here
than abroad. Besides labor cost the British
advantage lies I'm the enormous scale OF

On the basis OF foreign voyages actually

sos. 900 gross tons during the calendar year
1899. the expenditures under the Senate
subsidy bill would have been $2.907.000 ana
under the House bill $2790.O00. Details and
estimates show that. with the additional
shipping eligible. the cost during the first
year of the bills operation would be about

probably be attained during 1s0i-5. when "A
