The object of the author in presenting this work is to furnish a practical summary of the infant's hygiene and physical development. The aim of the book is to be a guide to mothers, particularly young and inexperienced ones. It purposes to teach and help a mother to understand her babe, to feed it properly, to place it in healthful surroundings, and to watch its growth and development with intelligence, and thus relieve in a measure the undue anxiety and nervous uncertainty of a new mother. The book is not intended in any measure to take the place of a physician, but rather to aid the physician in teaching the mother to care properly for her babe when well, that she may better nurse it when sick.

By constant analysis and comparison, guided by different experiences, they give to the public the result of a valuable union and interchange of ideas in the present work. Young, F. K., and Howell, E.

E. How to listen to music. 65f In all the extensive literature of music there is no book that supplies just the kind of information that Mr. Krehbiel's does; that tells in plain, untechnical language how to enjoy music intelligently; that explains simply and clearly the elements of music, the content of music, and describes and analyzes the various musical forms. The book is thoroughly popular in style, and is addressed to that extensive class of music lovers who have had no special training and no means of obtaining more than a superficial enjoyment of music. Owen, A. C. Art school of mediaeval Christendom. 65 Robinson, H. P. Art photography in Hauptmann, G. Biberpelz. short chapters. A camera and lens are not alone necessary for the production of a good picture. Ꭺ knowledge of composition and lighting is -Einsame Menschen. Sudermann, H. Glueck im Winkel. The time is 1839, and the story introduces characters already met in other volumes of "The comedy of human life.". This volume belongs to "Scenes from political life," and was left unfinished by Balzac at his death; M. C. Rabou, editor of the Revue de Paris, completing it from his notes. Duchess, pseud. A lonely maid. Fernald, C. B. Cat and the cherub; and other stories. Fletcher, J. S. Life in Arcadia. Savors of apple blossoms and pastoral whisperings.

Heimburg, W. pseud. My heart's darling. -Tale of an old castle. Barr, Mrs. A. E. (H.) Knight of the Hope, A., pseud. nets. In this story Mrs. Barr returns to sailors and sailor life, in which subject she is so much at home. It is a story of the North Sea. Boldrewood, R. Bourget, P. Sealskin cloak. Brainerd, T. H. Robert Atterbury. A story of how a man and woman who do not think it right to marry because of inherited disease, form a plan of living by which they can be together. Buchanan, R. W.

Unjust Entertaining sketches of life on the marshes of Marshfield, Mass., reminding one of Sarah Orne Jewett's stories. Read, O. Arkansas planter. Steel, F. A. On the face of the waters. We have read Mrs. Steel's book with everincreasing surprise and admiration. It is the most wonderful picture. We know that none who lived through the Mutiny will lay it down without a gasp of admiration, and believe that the same emotion will be felt by thousands to whom the scenes depicted are but lurid phantasmagoria.-Spectator. Stuart, Mrs. R. M. Solomon Crow's Christmas pockets. -Rittmeister Brand; [und] Bertram Vogelweid. Ebers, G. M. In Schmiedefeuer. Feilmann, J. Onkel Johns Prinzipien. A humorously told story of a brave German and his English wife whose unsuccessful attempts to Anglicize him are very funny. The little book has also an earnest side and will doubtless win many friends. Fontane, T. Effi Briest. Frapan, I. Bekannte Geschichter. Ilse Frapan is a realist of the realists. Her novels are not of love but of duty, and yet she possesses what most of her sisters lack: humor. It is perhaps feeble, but one wonders and rejoices over the unexpected blossom. Kurz, I. Italienische Erzaehlungen. With strong, almost masculine pen, the writer paints for us these pictures of sunny Italy, and in each she proves her talent. Oswald, E., pseud.

Fairy starlight and the dolls. Brooks, D. Stories of the red children. Brooks, E. S. True story of Abraham Lincoln. Champney, Mrs. E. J. (W.) Witch Winnie. Witch Winnie at Versailles. Otis, J. With Lafayette at Yorktown. Rolfe, W. J. Shakespeare, the boy. Dr. Rolfe, in "Shakespeare, the boy," has reconstructed, with marvelous patience and skill belonging only to a thorough Shakespearean scholar, the youthful life of the great dramatist. As is well known, the objective material open to Dr. Rolfe was very slight indeed, but from scores of allusions in the plays themselves the author has been able to work out most satisfactorily an account of what the boy Shakespeare must have seen and known. Some of these articles originally appeared in "The youth's companion" but very much new matter has been added. The book is written for the reading of boys, but will interest older people. It is well illustrated. Yechton, B. We ten; or, The story of the roses. JUVENILE LITERATURE (FRENCH) Class 70f. Bruno, G. Tour de la France par deux enfants.
