Numerous camera plcttues Illustrate these and oro splendidly reproduced. Tho hunters experienced some thrilling encounters with wild bensts, and more, than once tho reader's heart Is made to beat faster, eueh aa when Mr Whites ready gun saved him from death when ho was attacked by an Infuriated lion. It Is a'book fraught with Interest for the General reader, and containing In Its ap pendices special, valuable Information for tho hunter and .seeker after special knowledge. Health When a treatise on health exercises Is l translated into :i different langunges and has sales that approach a million copies, it in not necessary for tho amateur physi cal culturlst to know that It has been In dorsed by phyalclana In nearly every country on the globe, In order to feel suro of the intrinsic valuo of Its contents. This would bo a casual criticism by a casual reader of Lieutenant J. P. Mullcr'B "My System," or, as Its sub-tltlo ex plains, "Fifteen Minutes' Work a Day for Health' Poke ' (David McKay, Philadel phia). The remarkable success of the book is due to the fact that the exercises are de vised not for Mm purpose of developing the muscles alone, but are intended to af fect the vital organs. This la ruther new. The system alms to promote: 1. The functions of tho skin; 2, tho action of the lungs; 3, the digestion. It Is simply tho rclentlflo application of common seno to the requirements of ordinary people It comprises' series of slmplo bodily move ments 'with massage or friction of the akin with the hands. Tho author Is not an extremist. He does not believe that diets, or cold baths, or heavy clothing nre necessary or healthful. The exorcises call for none of thest) things. The essentials are motion, bath and massage, all of which, accord ing to the time schedule accompanjlng tho text, can be done In fifteen minutes. It is a tabloid system devised for eery hody and especially useful for those who nre limited in time.

Her naturalness and irrepressible spirit made all of us wish that she might sometime have her own romance. Here it is. Miranda falls in love. Who could imagine it? Yet she does, and with a man whoso life is linked with that great move ment, the occupation of Oregon when threatened by English rule. It is a stirring tale with lively incidents on every page and Miranda with her delicious common sense wit is a joy forever. This is the kind of story that brings spring-time to the heart and inspires old and young to a more wholesome outlook on life. ILLUSTRATED, $JJSS NET FOR SALE AT ALL BOOKSTORES I J. B.

For this reason and Its lorollary that stoiles of a type aro bound to pa'l If consecutively read, readers will Justly tako umbrage at the palpublo uttompt to make Mils olume appear to constltuto a full-length novel Tho titles of the various stories, both In tho contents tnble and nt their beginning, uro cnllcd "chapters," though they aro absolutely unrelated. The words "and other stories" do not appear on tltlo page or clsowhere. Many of Mr. Ol.u'V admirers would like to see his undenlabln talents exercised In a genutno novol; but this Is not that noel, for It Is not n novel, but n collection of short stories. Mighty clover short stories, most of 'em. Though the names are not Mawruss nnd Abo. the people beneath them are blood iclatlons always, replitns some times nninlnllius mutntls. The now fa miliar personal traits and economic prin ciples of tho cloaks nnd suits trade form the basis and furnish the atmosphere for most of thorn, but In one. "Hudolph. Where Have You Beon?" Mr. Glass prospects along a new lead, where tho ore scorns to assay piofltably It would bo agrccablo to have some more of these studies of his rnco under theatrical con ditions. In this ono story he seems to havo as firm a grip on tho palaver and ways of 42d street and Broadway as he assuredly has on those of Grand, Cnnal and Hlvlimton sttcets. not to mention Upper 3d avenue In tho "Hronlx." Almost invariably Mr. Glass writes tolerantly and understanding- of the foibles, vanltlea, business prnctlrei and shrewdness of his peoplo and with duo appreciation of the genuinely sterling qunlltles of tho Jewish race. Tho "In variably" was absolute In "Potash and Perlmutter." In "The CnmpntitlMt Nephew" series of tales certain unlovely traits are needlessly, though only cas ually, uncovered, and onn story, "Caveat I'mptor," Is a study In sharp practices that, though diabolical In Its Ingenuity, Is distinctly dlsogreeable In final Im pression.

When It Is recalled that In tho Spanish-American War 2C04 of tho 2310 deaths suffered by the American army wcro caused by disease. It Is manifest that such a thorough, clear and pithy book as Major Ashbuni's may be a great factor In bringing nbout somo correction.

After Basil King puzzled most roaders with "The Inner Shrlno" came a multitude of bonks of concealed au thorship, concerning which the public be trayed absolutely no rurloslty. Then, a teMPon ago, "Home," by doorgo Agnew Chamberlain, reached a considerable suc cess through clover exploiting of tho nu thor's anonymity.

The latest of them Is Iho covert author of "The Sea of God" (Heart's Interna tional Library Company, New York) "The publishers ale not permitted at present to disclose the name of tho au thor." Whv? Tho author has nothing to be nshnmed of; the hook Is not so bad ns that. The publishers certainly havo nothing very wonderful in reserve; tho book Is not good enough for that. The story li a good craftemanllko piece of llctlon. Characterization of the ten derly rented Southern girl who Is adrift upon the "sens of God," Is well done.

One rather wishes that tho semi haunted houpc hail been made use of In a more conscientious manner and that the old ladv who could not come to any decision without astrological aid had been a hit more prominent. Btlll Anne, tho heroine, who finds mntrlmony has Its "fors nnd ngnlnsts," herself Is sufficiently remarkable to make the book unusual. Any oune woman who would deliber ately throw oer a man of wealth and Mntlon for a poverty stricken creature with a prison record Is hound to appear lemnrkahle 111 this ngo and generation, even in humdrum England.
