A new volume OF Marion Harland's
Common Sense in the Household
series has appeared in "The Cottage
Kitchen" a collection of practical aud
inexpensive receipts for the household.
The author IL doing . good work In
giving to the public the result OF her ex-
periepee, thought and research into
matters pertaining to domestic economy,
| and if success is meeted out to her In
proportion to the ability, thoroughness
and earnestness she displays, much in
the way OF improvement in household
affairs In general and cookery IN par
ticular, will be the outcome Of her labor
and many housewife will find relief
from the ceaseless endeavor to arrange
her household gods to the best advant-
age or to unravel the ever present
"kEotty problem" of how to make q
limited income supply the tired husband
and hungry BARNS with an abundance,
or at least a efficiency, Of pslatsble and
wholesome food. In one OF her "famil-
lar talksn Miss Harland says: "In the
hope of shedding one ray Of practical
common sense through the fog that en-
wraps this subject, | have set myself
10 work TO prepare q compendium OF
receipts that are economical, yet
wholesome and palatable. l have kept
steadily before me the end Of adapting
them to the use Of young housekeepers
and the mighty mass Of people OF mod
crate means who crave something more
tempting to eye and taste than the dry
or coarse rations flung upon hundreds
Of tables, with little more regard to the
decencies of domestic life than Is OBJ.

The appearance OF the new and uni.

issued from the press of Charles Serb.
ner's Sons, is affording no small meas
urs OF satisfaction to the legion OF ad-
mirers of this author. Almost q gen.
Grafton has elapsed since the first ap-
pearance of "The Reveries OF a Ba"he.
ior," Mr.. Mitchell's first contribution
| to the world of letters, and this long
period has seen the standards OF popu.
lar judgment greatly changed, literary
methods and results elevated and i'm
proved, and the small circle of endur-
ing regulations among American men
of letters percep.ibly narrowed. But in
the passage Of this literary generation,
Mr.. Mitchell's place in that circle has
come to be not only unquestiOned, but
1t has not been determined by a criti.
cal uictum simply. The circulation OF
his chief works has been enormous. 1t
would be interesting TO know how many
Americans have come to middle life,
since the book was published, without
reading the "Reverles;" and it Is one
of the few books concerning which such
question suggests itself. Ii its popu-
lsIity has, perhaps, the deepest root Of
all, that Of certain of its companions Is
hardly less secure. Dream Life"

for its predecessor; the admirable Seven
Stories" now so long out of print, which
showed so well Mr.. Mtchelrs lighter
vein; "My Farm at Edgewood," and
The other books in which for the first
time be set forth the scholars aud poet's
side of practical American rural life,
and "Dr. Johns" in which the "auS.

with the fine wit and gestle culture Of
he best English eesayIsts, all have
met with hearty welcome and hosts
of readers throughout the length and
breadth OF the country. Some months
ago it was determined to issue new
and uniform edition Of these books, and
four volumes have already appeared
