Mir. Frank R. Stockton's entertaining story of the family who lived in a canal boat with their wonderful servant, Pomona, which was
 so well received year ago. reappears this
 spring in new edition. The history of the
 family is continued up to date, and new
 personage-Pomona's baby-who has made it's appearance in the meantime, is introduced. It Is well said of this book that 'it has a laugh for the reader upon every page, and is better for man with fit of the blues than any physieian's prescription. The humor is not dependent upon particular scenes o1 | characters, but upon the natural fun which bubbles up from an apparently inexhaustible source." Those who have read what was
 published last year will want to see how Pomona managed with baby, and those who
 have not read Rudder Grange will do them selves good by reading the latest edition.

 The Life and Writings of Henry Thomas Buckle, by Alfred Henry Huh, is most in-
 teresting book. The biographer has had ac- cess to an immense mass of material. Here tofore only sketches of Mir. Buckle have appeared and it is from these and from the
 papers gathered from many sources and carefully examined that this work
 has been made. Mir. Buckle was born in 1921, and died in 1862, while travelling for his health in the East. His fathers death, when he was nineteen years old, left him in independent circum- stances. He then began his investigations, which had already become a part of his life plan, and these he prosecuted to the end of his life. It literary life spanned by a score of years, but it was a life that made for him a fame that will be enduring. In ! this biography the work and life of the schol-
 from his correspondence and conversations that present his philosophy in a lighter garb than in his more profound discussions. In this correspondence and conversation is shown among other things the tender re- spect and love he had for women. He was extremely notional about his eating, selecting
 his own chops-of which he ate but sparing- ly-and eating toast only on Mondays, be- cause on that day the bread was more than a udy O4O 11C oi1SO AO WOlAelh could make tea till he had taught her, the
 great thing being to have it very hot, even
 the spoon having to be heated Early in
 life he determined not to marry till he had an income of $15, 900 year, thinking that no
 woman whom he could love and sympathize
 with could be content to live on less.
 'HThere are two things" he said, flor which I never grudge money-books and cigars. , He had an income of about $7, 800 year and twas therefore obliged, if he wished to live comfortably, to live economically" :" He spent much in charity, and said of this that when he was accosted by beggar in the streets he ''asked his name and address ; in nine cases out of ten it was false one, but though the slums and narrow streets I had to visit were very disagreeable, yet the pleasure of giving bread to starving family in the tenth case repaid me many times for all my trouble" The muItitudes who have read the books of this great man will be eager to read this excellent biography of him.
