The Macmillan series of Stories From
American History" has been augmented
by The Story of the American Mer-
chant Marine" by John r. Spears. The
author presents the growth of our ship
ping from earliest beginnings In colo
NAL days up to the period of its great
est glory, in the days Of the clippers
and packets, and down through its mel
ancholy decline. The histories have a
good deal to say on the feats OF our
navy. Every one reads of the naval
victories in the war of 1S12-of "Old
Ironsides," of the Essex, of Perry's tri-
umph on Lake Erie; but there is little
said of the merchantmen whose ex-
ploits were, in their own way, as truly
astonishing. As a writer who has de-
voted many years to the study of our
flag afloat Mr.. Spears is thoroughly ia
miliar with his subject. The book is
far more important than a mere collec-
tion of exciting anecdotes and narra-
tives of the sea. 1t is a real history OF
America on the water. (Macmillan's

"The Cardinals Pawn"

BY IL. Il. Montgomery. Published bv A. O.
McClurg & Co.. Chicago. Price 75 cents
That wonderful and picturesque but
wicked time of the Renaissance in
Italy has been chosen by K /. Mont
gomery as the time for this story. The
Cardinal Ferdinando is a scion of the
Infamous Medicis and proves himself
in every way worthy of the name
His pawn is Fiamma Bonaventuri, a
young girl of wit and infinite courage,
who enters his service to save a
brother. When she finds that her
brother has been killed at the instiga-
tion of his wife, Blanca Capelli. she
continues in her service for hatred and
revenge The lady Blanca should have
belonged to the Medici family. for a.
more evil deceitful and thoroughly
wicked character is difficult to imagine
She gets rid of her husband in order to
marry Duke Francisco Of Florence hop
ing when she becomes grand duchess to
have unlimited power.
Early in the tale Fiammo encounters
an Englishman. Mark Talbot. and il is
almost case of love at first sight. He
is thoroughly English. blunt and hon
est. and the contrast between him and
the superstitious Italians of the dav is
we'll shown.
The book is a little vague in spots
containing much padding and many un-
necessary incidents, put on the whole
the story is entertaining and gives one
a very good picture of life in those I'M
easy days. The book is the second
novel to be published by this Arm at
half the usual price and the printing
and binding will be found of excellent
quality. Some enterprising person
may discover in the tale the elements
for a really stirring melodrama. IT is
complicated reading, but would hold an
audience. The pictures are vivid and
clear.

decided to bring his work to this coun-

There is much merit in the book, but
the story is not of compelling interest
This may be partly because of sur
felt of southern literature, but we are
inclined to think the story itself does
not hold US. The character drawing is
excellent; the author shows there his
best work, some of the pictures being
so vivid one feels they must have been
taken complete as they are from life.
There are so many characters 1t is to
be hoped that the author has not used

There is no more paternal institu-

epidemic passed beyond the control of

asked for. It's doctors took charge
of the city and ruled it for a season
with the severity of a parent determin-
ed on having good behavior in his
household. The fever was conquered
and New Orleans so disciplined that

every careless and ignorant citizen.
The bubonic plague obtained a foot

marine hospital corps appealed to-. The
plague was pursued and cornered and
destroyed. The measures adopted by
the corps are still in force and San
