The reader who opens this book and runs
over a few pages will find that he has fall
len upon something quite unique, and when
he has read little further. as he is sure
to do, he will discover that he is following
the narrative with a breathless interest
quite in keeping with it's swift action.
Nance Olden. the heroine. tells her own
story. and it is the story of a born actress.
though her best acting is not done upon the
stage She is wait from what she calls
the Cruelty" which is another name for
the S. p. c. c.. and she is not in good

most people she has known have been the

another because she is quick witted and
can act any part that suggests itself to

gets away from the influence Of the bur-
glar. how readily she responds to better in

sprightly style in which such girl would
be likely to talk. She is sangy at first.
indeed rather rough in speech. as is natural
in such environment; but with her quick
adaptiveneSs she mends her manners and
world. and at the end is quite the grand
lady without being the less genuine.
The story has the merit of novelty and of
furnishing a character quite new in con-
temporary fiction, but not the least of its
attractions is the cleverness of the literary
style-suited precisely 10 the theme-and
the keen and witty comments on certain in
stitutions and conditions. 1t seems prob
able that the author has had a direct &C
quaintance with the stage else she could
not have written OF it with such familiar
ity. The thrusts at the theater trust are as
direct as if aimed at mark, and the pic
lures of happenings behind the scenes are
too vivid not to have been drawn from
life Altogether I'm the Bishops Car
rage offers a refreshing change from the
stereotyped novel of the day. IT is light
and gay, though with all its sprightlinesS
and cheer an undercurrent of seriousness
and once touch of tragedy. And with all
its vivacity it is d story to make it's readers
think-for instance. of the Cruelty" and
of the hardship of waits brought up in
public institutions. Miss Miriam Michel
son, the author, has united sense, senti-
ment and humor in a very happy way and
deserves credit for the combination. The
book, which is attractively bound and
printed, is illustrated by Harrison Fisher
who, unlike most illustrators. seems to
have read the text before making his draw

Some interesting discussion has been
called forth and considerable agitation Gre
ated by the assertion of President Angel,
of the American Humane Education So
ciety, that the great scientist, Agassiz,
firmly believed in the immortality of ami
mails. The idea that animals possess souls
at first appears startling. but investigation
has shown that other scientists besides the
famous Agassiz have held the same theory.
The question is very fully and ably dis
eussed IN recent volume by DIR. r. ID.
Co., OF Philadelphia. The book is said
to be remarkably strong. ably written and
unusually striking.

effect is likely TO be even more beautiful
