Ug- low & Co., City. Another eastern story has been given us by the writer of that popu- lar book, "The Lady of the Decora- tion." This time the scene is laid in the Japanese city of Hijiyvama. On a hill just outside the city, and over- looking the sea, stood the House, where dwelt the American lady teacher, the narrator. of the story. The house and garden were very, very old, and because of the bronze lantern which had hung in its door- way for many generations, and which served as a beacon-light for sailors rounding the rocky Tongue of Dra- gons close by, it was called "The House of the Misty Star." Here lived Miss Ursula Jenkins, who had spent thirty out .of her "fifty-eight years of solid monotony" teaching English. To her one day came a pupil's letter, explaining that an was lying ill in one of the most dis- reputable sections of the city. "Please union with lady countryman and also | divide," the letter requested. Jane Gray was the name of the frail lit- tle migsionary rescued by Ursula and installed in her home. Then life was no longer monotonous, for things at once began to happen. Jane frequently got her words twisted, but her heart always remained straight, and her faith received its due re- ward in time. The dramatic interest of the story centres around Zura, whose Japanese | mother rap away with an American artist. e father dies in the Wes- tern States, and the mother and dau- ghter return to Japan. There en- { sues the inevitable struggle between the east and the west. Zura's Am- erican slang and her refusal to con- | form to Japanese manners and life, appal her stern old grandfather, who turns her out of his home. She takes refuge with Miss Jenkins. To The House of the Misty Star there also comes a handsome young Amer- ican, and a pretty love affair deve- lops. The author has drawn two very in- teresting characters--Miss Jenkins and old Kishimoto San, the grandfa- ther, The latter, though stubborn and loyal to the mediaevalism of his country, still excites our sympathy and admiration. = The book gives us many charming pictures of Japan and Japanese festivals, and is very readable and amusing throughout. MARTHA OF THE MENNONITE COUNTRY. By Helen R. Martin. Thomas, Lang- ton, Toronto, Publisher, 318 Pages. Price, $1.35. R. Uglow & Co., City. A clever, humorous story, in which the peculiarities of the Mennonites book. She has made her own the Pennsylvania Dutch country and: the quaint eharacter studies to be found there. The story is a charming co- medy, told with a light touch and a swift movement that send it skim- ming along to the accompaniment of the reader's laughter. She sends in search of adventure a brilliant young novelist who has gone stale. The illustrator of his book suggests, jok- ingly, that he teach school for a while among the Pennsylvania Dutch where he will get a new view of life. So we find him installed at Adams- town as High School principal.

He is her favorite novelist, and he knows a good deal about her from hearsay, especially: ag his artist friend is in love with her. The developments of their attitude toward each other, and the happénings when the artist comes to visit his friend, are full of humor. Into the story comes Mar- tha, a pathetic figure, the drudge of her step-mother, at whose house the principal boards. In her the nove- list recognizes a mind well endowed and a nature sweet and loyal and fine. The comedy becomes more live- ly and complicated. Much of the story is developed in conversation, which the author has succeeded in making very brisk and natural.

There is a delicious littie passage of gossip between one of the passen- gers of the stage and a cousin she chanced to meet on the road, as overs heard by the novelist on his way to Adamstown: "Did you hear, Lizzie, Abe Sny- der's wife died fur him last night, "an her only tick a week yet?" "Ach, Meely, did she though?" "Yes; and her so well always and him so sickly that way all the timn ~don't it, now, beat all?" "Yes, "said Lizzie funereally, "yes; the sick ones live yet the well ones out.

Not but what Missus there would like fur to be tony, too---even if her folks was Mennonites. She's my third wife a'ready. I had poor luck with my wives so far; they died off fur me so!

Binney Dibble, Ho: sity. ddbrary Series. & Norgate, London, Publ Price, 35¢ and 75¢. So common an object as' a newspa- per. is seldom the subject of serious reflection. Yet the functions and the ts of she ormed the mechanical and business as modern newspaper have \ theme for. one of the interesting vol- umes of the Home University Library, whose aim is to give to the general public a series of books covering all important subjegls and from the pen of the best ted writers, Newspaper men themselves will read this book with génuine pleasure. average reader will find in it much in- .- and enlightenment, and many facts regarding a newspaper that he never thought of before. The author, is well versed on the subject, and writes with a full knowledge of facts. He explains the. mechanism, which industriously collects, enshrines in print and tirelessly circulates all the material, whether news or liter- ary, to every atlainable corner of the country, and also the organism, which by serving ;the business needs of the community, acquires the large reve- nues, which alone make the continued existence' of the other possible. ~ A newspaper, it is pointed out, is of all modern private institutions the "5e." in west slang. + N=North rats not-in a hurry to come out andi get Skinnéd.

A ship, en- gaged on a voyage, almost equals the triple life of a newspaper, because it is for the time being a place of resi- dence, a means of travel and a con- veyor of trafic... But voyages are short and discontinuous with one an- other, while the existence of a news- paper is organically continuous from the issue of the first number Jo bank- ruptey. The newspaper is primarily a collector and distributor of news; se- condarily it is a vehicle of opinion, and lastly it serves as the great in- | troducer of business from one trader to another. Every newspaper is a commercial organism, subject to the same laws of life and death which govern businesses in general. It has to build up a good- will sometimes slowly and against great odds. Its peculiar faculty of dealing in publicity + both ways, through its news columns gratuitously and through its advertisements for payment, give it a special power of making its own way independently of utside help. To suceeed it must be talked about, and abuse is welcome, almost as much so as praise. The readers of a paper must draw from it amusement, instruction and business facilities, and for the latter the news- paper proprietor is even more con- cerned than for the former. After thoroughly explaining how publishers collect news, the author deals with the distribution of the pa- pers. Next he treats of the newspa- per as a business organization. Suc- cess can only be maintained through good editorial conduct and wise busi- ness management. An interesting chapter on the mechanical production of a newspaper, is followed by a de- tailed history of the London press and references to leading publications throughout the colonies and the world. The history of journalism and many instructive facts. about well known journalists are comprised in the last chapter. The author closes his book with a quotation from Walt Mason, of Emporia, N.Y., whose prose poems are a feature of the Whig's edi- torial page each day. ANGELA'S BUSINESS By Henry Syndnor Harrison.

When we opened up this; book and on the first page found an aspiring young novelist declaring that he un- derstands women, and undertaking to tabulate the contents of" the female mind, we marvelled at his audacity and foolishness. For did not 'Dickens, the master novelist, cxpréss ina short sentence a great truth--"I did not say I understood her. I wouldn't have the presumption to say' that of any woman !" So we feared for this bumptious young man. His faith was to be rudely shattered. ' In "Angela's Business! the author of "Queed" and V.V's.

(There . is a fascinating scene at: the Redmantle Club, founded for the purpose of abus: ing publishers by a woman who "had once had a novel published at a nomi- nal expense of $250," which. had become a forum where "woolen of both sexes could meet and freely speak out the New Mind." There he meets the two women who proceed to educate him. Mary Wing is the real heroine of the book, a "new woman' who thinks of herself only as a hr man being, unconscious of sex, a wo- man with a career, assistant principal of the city high school. The novelist discovers that a woman may have a broad mind, may be courageous and brave under all circumstances, and still possess those qualities of love, self-sacrifice and devotion which have sary to make her life plete.
