titled "Literature in Common Schools"

Woods Household Magazine for July
is at hand, and is up to its usual stand
ard of excellence. 1t is household, not
only in name but in character. and its
table of contents shows a good adap-
tation of articles to the individual MEM
bers of the family circle. ''Sim's Little
Girl" a temperance story, by Mary
Hartwell; "Weather-tough Block" by
Karl Kase; elbow the Vow was Kept"
by Ii. V. Osborne; "Lunatics at Large"
by Rey. f. w. Holland, and 1.-The Dec
laration of Independence, by j. b.
Wakely, d. D., are among the more no.
ticeable articles. The 'fChildren's De-
partment" without doubt will be very
acceptable to the little ones. The price
of the magazine is one dollar year.
