 A fine translation os a remarkable book is that of Karia Michealis An drea." It presents admirably the at mosphere, beauty and strength of the work of Michaelis, which has hitherto been denied except to those able to read Danish. The translation is by John NiIsen Lauryik, author and artist, and the book is just issued by Mcclure, Phillips and Company, New York. In addition to accurately presenting in the translation the rare excellence of Mi chaelis' work and the remarkable quail ities of his style which demonstrate the authors genius, the translator has ad- ded much that is explanatory and pe- cessary to comprehend fully the envi- ronments surrounding the story. It is weird, strong, vivid, realistic and i'm tensely pathetic story of the life of a child, and is a book pronounced a mas terpiece in Denmark and Germany, where 1t has made sensation. The child in the story is desperately i'll and knows that she is going to die. She knows, too, that her mother and father do not live happily together as married people should, and great many other things she has noticed and worried about that children are not supposed to understand and are much happier if they do not find out. Her one great longing is to bring about a reconcilia- ton between her estranged parents, and she accomplishes it by means of her little diary. which they read after her death. Of the book it has been we'll said: Tt is human document, breathing pathos in every line and ex- hallng sweetness and purity. The "hepe deferred that maketh the heart sick" is herein depicted with all the forcibleness of truth and all the fire of genius. Humor is to be found within these pages, brightening sombre background and easing the agony of over -burdened hearts. Price $1.5O; for sale by the Pease-Lewis Co.
 "The Prisoner of Mademoiselle,'' by Charles c. D. Roberts, D. c. Page and Company, Boston, in this latest book MT. Roberts has departed onceA more from lis charming animal tales and in "The Prisoner of Mademoiselle" given a delightfully."- written story of Acadia, the scene of his first novels To any one who knows Mr. Roberts work, the charm oe 'eThe Prisoner of Mademoi- selle'' will be at once apparent, espec- ially Us it is in his finest vein. It is a story If warlike times in Nova Scotia, the contrast of ths English and French colonial character enveloping the tale with the pi,taresQue atmosphere of genuine romance. Its hero and her. oine are of these two opposing nation alities, and their welded happiness comes only after an abundance of all ternating joys and tribulations. The strife of war as we'll as calm of peace help to fill MT. Roberts pages, and in turn the reader will find exciting epi- sodes, hairbreadth escapes, and hand to hand combats almost without num- ber The country in which it's scene is laid is unsettled and wild, and it is in his descriptions of forest Vaccinations and primitive ways of life that MT. Roberts is naturally most at home.
 It is charming love story, and re- cites the adventures of Zachary Cowles, lieutenant of a Massachusetts expedition against Port Royal, who, adrift in an open boat and baff1ed. by the currents of the Bay of Fundy, reaches the inhospitable shore of the eneny's country only to be taken .pris- oner by young Diana, the beautiful niece of the old French governor. Lieutenant Cowles soon finds that his heart, too, is captive, and a willing prisoner of his fair jailer Mademoi- selle is the niece of the governor of Acadia long ago, of such virgin virtues that she roams the woods like Diana, with lovely little musket. She points it at the critical moment, in one of her woodland wanderings, at the young lieutenant from Boston. The reader follows the story with interest intense and unabated until the close. There is an attractive prontispiece by Frank T. Merrill Price $1.00; for sale af Judd's.
 Comrades in Arms" will afford gen. uine pleasure, and all who are familiar with the previous books of General Charles King, it's author, will eagerly welcome this, his new book, which is published by the Hobart Company, New York ill handsome style It is a story which begins at a frontier army post among the Black Hills of Dakota just before the breaking out of the Spanish war, and then shifts to the Philippines. There is queer complt- cation of happenings in a far western army post, Fort Minneconjou, which leads to a mystery or rather a series of them, in which the characters drawn by the author so win the readers ir- terest and sympathy that there is diff1- culty in laying it aside until completed.
 The story opens in an army post in the far west, where the chief excite ments are an occasional brush with the Indians, internal dissension among the officers, and jealousy among the offi- r T.,y,. i.
