1.-The Money Makers" a social parable,
was written about year ago, but the publ
cation was delayed. The book was written
to embalm permanent conditions rather than
70 perpetuate controversy, and though by
the delav the "realism of fiction has been
distorted into the grossness of the actual,''
the personages and incidents cannot be con-
fused with those of a more recent date which
seem to have a whimsical resemblance. The
work is not satire upon men and measures,
but story of socialistic force-a parable
whose basis and purpose cannot be misinter-
preted by an intelligent reader. In it the
laws that govern fiction have been followed,
and though dramatic strength has in places
been sacrificed, the story itself is the main
interest It is work of value as an in
structor and reformer. Though a work of
fiction it is strangely real and though the
result of brilliant Imagination it teaches
lessons as true as life itself. D. Appleton &
Co., publishers, New York. For sale in this

''Studies in Animal Painting is a book
containing eighteen colored plates from
Ter color drawings by Frederick Tayler, late
president of the Royal Society of Painters in
Water Colors. The object of the work is to
give practical hints to students in animal
painting. The author has painted some ex-
amples Of domestic animals and attached to
each short explanation of his method of
painting. The student will find it to be of
great service to copy them before beginning
to paint animals from nature, as by this
method the eye first becomes acquainted with
the forms of animals before having to con-
tend with the difficulty of their movements.

of motion from simple notions rather than
beginning with those laws to deduce simple
notions from. That "'Science is measure
ment" has been kept constantly in view;
hence Energy and Motion have been treated
as quantitative matters from the first" The

Appleton's chart-priner, containing exer
cises in reading at sight and language and
color lessons by Rebecca D. Kickoff, is an ex-

stories which cannot fail to excite interest
aud hold the attention. "Friends in Feath-
ers and Fur is another work for young
folks by James Johonnot. 1t gives the steps
of science rather than scientific results. The
work begins with familiar forms of life,
learning the reader to see more clesrly that
which surrounds him and then to advance
into the paths of investigation and compari-
son. There is a mingling of descriptive sto-
ry and verse. The work cannot fail to be of
service to the parent and teacher. D. Ap-
