Not on the Chart.

The plot Of this story by Charles L. Marsh
Is based on an incident which has done con-
siderable service in fiction, namely, the
experiences of castaways on an unknown
island According to the story. the Aus
tralian liner Sidney, which left San Fran
cisco on Oct s. 1896 was wrecked off a small
island in the Pacific about 800 miles south
west from the Hawaiian islands, and not
laid down on any chart. The only survivors
or the wreck were two young men and a
young wOman-Eric Arnold a wealthy
young New Yorker, who was going TO Aus
tra1a to prosecute his studies in natural
history; Arthur Stone, a mining engineer
of San Francisco, and Miss Merton. a native
of Australia, who was returning to her
home. These three were cast on the un-
known island and lived there for three
years. The story of their experiences and
adventures is of the usual kind in such
cases, but is well and entertainingly told
They build house, live on fish and oysters
fruits and mushrooms discover a great
cave with wealth galore, etc At the end of
three years they are rescued by an Amer
lean transport which has been driven far
out OF her way to the Philippines with a
regiment of soldiers. Aside from other
picturesque features of the story, there is
a pretty romance. ending in the engagement
OF one of the young men and the girl from
Australia Though an improbable story. il
possesses the charm that pertains TO all
stories of castaways, and is quite readable

Two books by w. w. Jacobs, that prolific
and ever-entertaining writer of tales of the
English mercantile marine, one a genuinely
humorous novel and the other a very read
able collection of whimsical short stories
have come from the press recently. and
both should be warmly welcomed, though
there Is always a doubt as to whether
short tales, collected and bound in perma-
nent form, will have much of a vogue.
This is especially true Of stories that have
been published in the magazines, for the
reading public that cares for short stories
is essentially a notwithstanding public
and is not disposed to spend money for a
Dook containing only the pabulum that sat

The novel AT Sunwich Port" was
printed in installments in the Strand maga-
zine but there is an added charm in picking
up the book and reading the quaint tale Of
homely ventures and adventures to saw
nothing OF misadventures, in a picturesque
coastWlSe town. 1t is a story very close to
human nature. and is overhowing with the
bubbling humor characteristic of this teller
OF wonderfully good stories. 1t is full of
quaint, real characters, and the salt breath
OF the sea greets the reader from every
page. The Illustrations are equally quaint
and characteristic, and are by no means
the least attractive point of a book that
abounds in pleasing features. In them Mr.
VIII Owen has put some of his best work

short stories, is companion piece to Mr.
Jacobss Many Cargoes." and in the main
the tales are fully the equal of those that
went before. This book also is well illus
trated, some of the delineations being espe-
cially humorous. The typography and gen
eral appearance are excellent. Published by

poration or organization of a state miners
association, were Il not that some essen
tial features of control are retained in the
hands Of the State. From one point of view
the law makes the state association an in
dependent organization, and yet it pre-
scribes the time ard place of its annual
meeting and what officers it shall elect.
But the strangest feature of the law is
that which makes the secretary of the state
association state officer. with salary of
$3.50 n year, and gives him authority to
appoint deputies who also become state
officers. All this is, of course, the rankest
kind of class legislation. and could only
have been passed under the pretense Of
benefiting labor. It's absurdity will appear
by imagining the enactment of law Great
ing a state association of bankers or manu-
facturers, authorizing local unions to men,
bership, providing for the election of a
secretary of the association to be paid an
annual salary out of the state treasury,
and giving him power to appoint deputies
who should be paid in like manner. II the

A letter addressed to Mark Twain, God

proper destination.
Mr.. and Mrs. Andrew Carnegie, who are
making their annual summer and early
autumn stay at Skibo Castle. Scotland, are
reported to be making great preparations
for the fall, when autumn shooting parties
will fill the castle with guests, among
whom will be a number of well-known
Americans.
Count and Countess Boni de Castellane
will sail from New York on Aug. go accom-
panied by the Due de Luynes. Count Boni
will return TO Paris with the duke in time
for the meeting of the Chamber of Depu-
ties, but the countess, who was Miss Anna
Gould, will remain over here until after
Christmas.
The refusal of Mrs. Hanna Sutherland,
of Maiden, Mass, TO rectify an error of
street-railroad conductor in giving her
wrong change has cost her dear. The con-
ductor gave her $40 too much change and
she refused to return the money. The mat
ter was taken into court, and Mrs. Suther-
land was found guilty of grand larceny
and sentenced to one year in the House of
Correction.
For nine centuries the Wake family, the
oldest in England. has had as its head
Hereward Wake. in clear descent from IA
ther to son. Every male child receives as
one of his names the famous cognomen
Hereward. the family tracing its ancestry
straight back TO "Hereward the Wake"
whom Charles Kingsley named ''the last
of the SaXOns" The head of the family
to-day is Sir Hereward Wake, whose old
est son won the ID. S. o. on Lord Robertss
staff in South Africa.
Julian Ralph, in an article on Lord Sails
bury, in the Century, says that the pleas
antest hours the marquis passes are those
spent in his laboratory. This lis said to
be unsurpassed in completeness and mod
ernness by any private laboratory in Eng
land. From his youth he Oord Salisbury
has had bent for this work. and in phys
les especially he has attained such knowl-
edge as to be sought, for counsel and dis
cussion, by some of the greatest minds in
that field. 1t is even said of him that had
he not been a great statesman, he would
have been great scientist"
The Bookman tells still another story
about the way in which his friends laid
pitfalls for the late Frank Stockton apropos
of his most famous bit of fiction. 1t seems
that on one occasion Mr.. Stockton was
dining at the house of lady who had in
vited several intimate friends to meet him.
At the appropriate part of the dinner Mr..
Stockton suddenly found the servant offer
ing him two structures of ice cream-one
in vanilla representing attractive lady,
and the other in orange ice barred with
chocolate, representing an unmistakable
tiger. The eyes of all the company were
riveted upon Mr.. Stockton as his hostess
asked in an insinuating tone, (which will
you have, Mr.. Stockton" To which the
novelist, with just the suspicion of a
twinkle, answered very sweetly. "A little
