The Lady , of the Irynamos," by

The taste ef the present day in Ac

problems afford scope for brilliant

stern, though somewhat biased and
mistaken devotion to duty on one

tended and sustained the House of
Stuart through the vicissitudes of a
dozen generations. The story gives
evidence of an immense amount of

In consequence far and away better
than the common run of historical

work deals exclusively with the char

Princess Nsdlne, by Christian Reld.
The Knickerbocker Press. ;. P. Put-
nam s tfons. New York. 1 Stone and
Barrlnger. Jl.BOt.
"Princess Nadlne" reminds one
strongly of the work of Phe late Ar
chibald Claverlng Gunter. It has
many points in common with certain
of that author's novels. The hero.
Leighton. from Central America. U
the same strong, self-centred, master
ful character that Gunter's readers are
familiar with; the plot revolves around
the possession of a set of papers con
taining the names of Nihilistic conspi
rators, and follows a course breath
lessly Interesting but scarcely original.
Then, too, come In contact with
personsges of very exalted rank, a
mediatized German princeling figur
ing very prominently, and the heroine
herself being a Russian princess. Fin
ally our author places great stress
upon the influence of heredity, a de
vice so prominent In Gunter as almost
to belong to him under the copyright
laws.
The differences, however, sre no
less marked than the resemblances
Just traced. if "Princess Nadlne"
lacks some of the dramatic Intensity
of "Her Senator" and the 6thers, it
does not so frequently and so deeply
descend into melodrama, and bears
decided marks of being very much
more carefully done, and in conse
quence more artistic. Gunter's read
ers sre very frequently made, aware
of a ceitatn sort of risque suggssttve
ness, brought out more In the setting
of his scenes thsn in his language it
self. Of this feature, we are happy to
say. "Princess Nadine shows abso
lutely no trace.
Those who are familitr with the
work of Archibald claverlng need r?o
further characterisation of the pres
ent story. To those who are not, we
would say that it is a tale In which
the main desideratum of the author is
rapid action, the principal object to
keep the reader in a pleasant state of
uncertainty from moment to moment
as to what is coming next; but in
which, none the less, sre quite dis
cernible lines of character demsrka
tlon and shading which raise It above
the literature of adventure which is In
such vogue with some sections of the
reading . public.
THE BOHEMIAN FOR MAY.

In this issue is Jerome A. Hart's "The

THE MAT OUTING.
That part of the earth's population
which Is not engaged in inventing fly

reading of experiments in aerial navi
gation. To the May Outing Maximil

contains a dear explanation of lle
mechanical principles which a-vlators
make use of In their conquest of the
air.
Malaria The Pestilence That
Waiketh in Darkness," la written by
Dr. Woods Hutchinson, so favorably
known as a popular writer on sani
tary and medical subjects. Scarcely
ant article which has come from hie
pen has a more vital Interest for our
people, as In this section we are Just
now beginning to wage deadly war
fare upon the scourge which forms
Its subject. The paper Is recommend
ed to all those who wlah to keep
abreast of the latest progress In san
itary and medical science.
"ther notable contributions to the
number are E. P. Powell's" "The Battle
With the Bugs," Kdward Hungerford't
"The Men Who Operate the Rail
road" and Agnes C. Iaut's "Our Na
tional Heritage." Three excellent
short stories represent that depart
ment of the magazine: "Shanghaied,"
by C E. Mulford, "Constable Smythe.
N. W. M. P.." by R. D. Keefer, and
"Pad Govern," by C. L. Ed holm.
THE MAY EVERYBODY'S.
The article In Everybody's which
will probably be most widely read Is
not Frederick U. Adams' "The Cost of
the Wall Street Game," although that
has a perennial Interest-furnisher as
its subject. There are many, many
magazine readers who have no sto-ks
nor bonds and In the natural course
of events do not expect to have any;
and these generally skip the financial
articles, or at best skim them. But
there are very few readers of nny
kind who do not know "that on last
4th of March, after the Weather Bu
reau had premised clear weather, the
snow descended In dense blanket-like
masses and as a consequence "Big
Bill" took the oath In the Senate
chamber and not under the open as
per schedule.
Taking this little miscalculation as
his text, Emerson Hough in "Does the
Weather Bureau Make Good." devotes
a considerable amount of space to a
biting criticism of Willis Moore, the
official head of the aforesaid bureau,
his methods, his results, and In brief
his general usefulness. Without ques
tioning the critic's facts, we think
that Professor Moore could fairly en
ter a demurrer and clAlm that the
bureau has Justified the not exorbi
tant sum spent upon it by a kindly
Congress even if It docs occasionally
slip up in Its predictions.
The most notable story Is Samuel
Hopkins Adams' "Grimaden House."
which grips one almost uncomfort
ably In its strength and realism. Other
readable stories are Joseph C. Lin
coln's "As Hs Thlnke'h." Kleanor H.
Rrainerd's "The Courting Tree" and
Charle B. Going's "The Fires of
Youth."
