They have existed in all ages; ara scattered through all history, both secular and religious; and, while regarded by most intellectual persons as fraudulent or superstitious. are in certain aspects permeating society anew at present, developing sects of religious enthusiasts on one hand and popularising the medium and the clairvoyant cm the other.

The method has been' to subject all alleged phenomena to tbs testa of legal evidence for verification, and then to classify the facts and educe their underlying laws. The society has issued annually to its members reports of its discoveries; but only now la the result of Ha labor* gathered into a sifted and organised statement, and presented to the public in the form of two large volumes, entitled. “Human Personality and Its Survival of Bodily Heath," by F.

In order -to appreciate the authority of this work, one should know something of the personality of it* author. From the addresses made at ths memorial meeting of the society following bis death, which occurred on January 17, 1991, the following fact# are learned, lie wae an English clergyman, an eloquent speaker, an essayist, a poet of repute, and a charming gentleman. His desire ae a young clergyman was to learn the real truth concerning the doctrine of Immortality which he was expected to teach, and to that end he helped organise the Society for Psychical Research. In order to prosecute Its work Intelligently, he studied extensively In the fields of natural science and

piled, and issued in JLMO, an extensive exposition of phantasms of the living; and now, in a work that was all but completed at the time of his death, we have a voluminous, scientific and intensely interesting exposition of what one may properly call the new psychology, and ah answer to his Inaulry concerning the doc-
trine of immortality.
Tbs work has for Its thesis the existence of the “subllminar mind, or a mental life below ordinary consciousness, as distinguished from that above It. and hare called the "supra-lUnina!" mind At the time of Ml*. Myers's death. Dr. William James said that if he proved able to -establish this thesis he would effect a revolution in mental science comparable only to that produced in natural science by the theory of evolution.

"The Squireen." by Shan F. Bullock, Is an admirable tale which introduces a number of Irish types taken mostly from the common people, the traders, the thrifty merchants. the farmers. The scene 1* laid mostly In Ulster and the time is indefinitely fixed as "the old days of prosperity." The principal character la Marlin Hynes, the squireen or petty 'aquire. whose character Is drawn by a fine hand; lavish, sordid, reckless, bullying, with many faults, and yet well beloved, ao that the individual stands out clearly to be remembered. AU of the characters of the tale are Protestants, both men and women, and these latter are as distinctly drawn as the men from Kate Trant, with whom the squireen falls In love, to Jane Fallon, the woman whom he marries It Is a strange people.

A delightful character, evidently drawn from life, la Cyrus Townsend Brady’s "The Bishop,” some of whose doings are recorded in the book that bears this title. It Is a volume of short stories, in each of which the bishop Is the central figure. The stories illustrate vividly early conditions of life In the West, when civilization was primitive and the bishop of a diocese had perforce to be a man among men. The bishop’s parishioners for the most part were men quick on the trigger, a hard-drinking, loud-swearing lot, filled with a dare-devil courage that, if properly directed, was as likely to be used for a good cause as a bad one. It was the bishop’s task to turn lots of this surplus energy In the right direction and use it for the good, and Mr. Brady shows how the little man, not lacking courage himself. came to be beloved by* the rough
mystical character of the story; the force with which one is made to enter into the feelings of the tempted man; the assurance with which one is made to feel that the good will triumph over evil in the end. When Ronald tells Jean that she can not be wife to a thief, she takes his hands in hers and says: "We are but children. Ronald, you and I. Let us run from the mistakes we have made and leave men and women to put away our broken toys and raze our ca»tiefl. , ' And as one reads one sees one peeret wish formulated—If one only could run away and leave ali
the mistakes behind!
"The Balance.” the second story, is a very tender idyll of two men who love the same woman, and how she holds the bajanee between them. The best of the story is in the character of one of the men, Richard Last, who sits by tha woman s little brother, who is dying, and tells him the story of King Pain, and how the king visits those whom he loves and carries them away with him to lands of ease; tells the story so cheerfully and lends It so much of his own brave strength that the little chap welcomes the king with a
smile and dies like a hero.
"Thoughty." the last tale, is a story of two boys, and surely the writer has delved deeply into the boy heart to write so truly. The adventures they have with a dead man, whom they bury: how they give themselves up to the big policeman, averring they have murdered him, a policeman whose wife has nursed them both from the cradle and who scorns their weird tales—this must be read to be appreciated. It Is not for the story's sake that rheee tales are to be commended se much as for the sterling craftsmanship that has gone into their making. They are equal to the very best previous work of this gifted author, who. in spite of the veil of anonvmity. is known as Gwendolin Keats. (New York: Charles Scribner's
Sons.)
The Triumph. A well constructed novel, entertaining to read, unusual in its theme and with a moral lesson not too strongly obtruded, but obvious Just the same. Is Arthur Stanwood Pier’s ’The Triumph." It is tale of a village in middle Pennsylvania about the time of the excitement over the striking of oil. The hero of the tale is young Dr. Neal Robeson, who has just returned to his home after a long absence in cities where he has won some distinction in his profession. His father is the village doctor, and, although it has been the old gentleman’s hope that Neal would succeed him in his practice, he is quick to recognize the reasonableness of the young man's desire to build up a name for himself as surgeon in a big hospital. Close to the little village lives Eleanor Craig, daughter of a clergyman, who has been dead about two years before Neal returns. Neal is in love with her. but she seems to resent his well-meant efforts to look after her and holds herself aloof, caring for her small farm and content with the companionship of her little In other. The evil character—there has to be at least one evil character in a novel— is Braddisrf, an oil well driller. whom Neals thwarts in his purpose of running away with pretty and silly Sally Packer Braddish sw'ears to get even and the chance comes wheq he learns that Neal Is In love with Eleanor. Eleanor has leased the right to sink an oil well on her farm to Braddish's cousin, and Brad dish gets the job. He brings a crew ot tough men to the place and instructs them to insult Eleanor with foul songs and vulgar language so that he may pretend to check them and win her sympathy and
respect
One night when Braddish has been drinking he goes to her house and finding her alone, kisses her forcibly, and although she succeeds in driving him away, she is too scared and ashamed to complain about the outrage. There is a final scene in which Braddish and his crew, inflllined by liquor, set upon Eleanor’s house and tfv to break in. and there is a running fight between the drillers and the village people that is wonderfully thrilling arm realistic. All this is secondary' to “The

The pity of such books as "Deep Sea Vagabonds" is it makes vagabondage a bit Picturesque and appeals to and will probably touch the sympathies of those readers who knowing nothing of the sea are ready to believe the first statement of one side of the case. The sea is distinctively a profession where the strong man come® to the top; where the meanest hind in the forecastle has a chance to walk the quarter-deck if he will but be diligent, honest and work hard. Mr. Sonnlchsen’s book Is interesting in some of its incidents, but as a whole it is not quite fair. (New York: McClure. Phillips & Co.)
A Rose of Normandy.
A most interesting historical romance of France and Canada in the reign of Louis XIV Is "A Rose of Normandy." by W. R. A. Wilson. Robert Cavelier, Sieur de la Salle and his faithful lieutenant. Henri de Tontl are the leading characters, the lat-
ter being the hero of the book.
The story opens with the execution of three culprits and the escape of one saturnine offender, who takes refuge in the poor room of that brave soldier of fortune, the Italian, Henri de Tontl. Pompon Is the refugee’s name, and when he has told his story to Tontl. La Salle Is Introduced. The early part of the story moves with great swiftness of action and with breathless interest. Pompon recovers a sum of money secreted for him by his late employer. Tontl falls In love with the beautiful Renee, the Rose of Normandy, and fights a duel with her suitor, Comte Miron, and vanquishes him. La Salle mans his fleet and away sail the trio for the new world and exploration. In Canada they meet with Frontenac and the story here clings closely to history as told by Francis
Parkman.
The little band of adventurers start off into the wilderness beset by hostile Indians and hindered by the power of the Society cf Jesus. After stirring adventures years in the wilds they return and then Tontl meets Renee, who has tied to

Alfred Henry Lewis, w'ho Is best known to readers through his tales of “Wolfvine,” has In “The Black Lion Inn” made book to be cherished by all who like a
and takes up the work of nursing the sick at the forts under charge of Tontl. In the course of the adventures that follow the chief of the Iroquois Is captured, arid turns out to be none other than Miron, whom Tontl had left for dead in Paris. In a final great battle Pompon give® his life to save Renee and Tontl is sorely wounded. Nursed back to health by Renee, happiness comes In sight, and the King of France offers the Italian soldier rank and wealth in France or leadership In the wilderness. With Renee he decides to remain in New' France, and devote his life to the building of the new realm. The tale is taken bodily from sober history, and Is tinged W’ith romance by the art of the novelist. It is a book that stirs the pulse and warms the heart—a good story well told. The book is admirably illustrated by Ch. Grunwald. (Boston; Little, Brown & Co.)
Letters of an Actress.
The foreword to “Letter® of an Actress” asks readers to believe that the material out of which this book is made Is not sheer Invention, but Is really taken from the actual experience of an English actress, Ethel Gladys Luttrel, whose name, English as it is, Is certainly not prominent In the contemporary history of the English stage. The letters which comprise the volume are just exactly such as an actress might be expected to ha Ye written, and yet—for that very reason perhaps—they do not sound just like the letters of a real actress. They are very clever, not merely considered as letters, but for w'hat they contain, their observations on life in general and off the life of Thespians In particular. Gladys Is the daughter of an inn keeper, the Inn being "The Tankard,” and she is brought up under the guidance of her Aunt Gertie, who was a leading lady of the old school. Gladys wins local fame as Little Eva, and ft Is wrhen she first starts on the road, touring the'provinces, that ehe begins to write her delightful letters to her mother and her
friend, Grace.
It Is not long before Gladys falls In love with an actor and writes him many pas-
amlcably arranged and this new edition
will be complete.

Thomas Hobbes and others. My. Gosse describes the duties of patron to poet and poet to patron In a most en-

Sonjetlme during the spring the Macmillan Company will publish a biography of Browning In The English Men of Letters Series. This is the work of Mr. G. K. Chesterton, whose little book of essay®, "The Defendant," attracted an amount of attention disproportionate to it® size. He is now regarded as one of the very cleverest and most brilliant among the younger English critics and essayist*. In the autumn the following volumes will appear in the same series: "James Russell Lowell,’' by Henry Van Dyke; "Ralph Waldo Emerson." by George E. Woodberry, and "Benjamin Franklin," by Mr.
