TIoN OF GEORGIA; thirty seventh annual

| TFE BUDDHIST DIET Book, prepared by
Laura C. Holloway. Funk & Wagnalls,
publishers, 10 and IL Dew street New York.
| Paper, price soc.
The Buddhist Diet Book is a compila-
ton of dishes used by Buddhists in the
East and in Europe. The interesting
features OF this work, aside from it's value
to vegetarians, are the explanations of
the religious convictions 0fthis great sect
regarding foods. The Buddhists are nat
ural yegetarlans, not having acquired a
taste for flesh food, and their diet is gov
erned as much by religious rule as is
their conduct in life.
Cocoa AND CHOCOLATE. A short history of
their production and use. Walter Baker Il

This volume of 165 pages gives full ac-
count of the properties of cocoa and choco-
late and the various methods OF preparing
them for food.

phia. Cloth, 81.
The selections contained in this volume
are among the best in the language for
recitations. The majority of them are
familiar to almost every one. Among
them is ''Ostler Joe," which Mrs. Potter
recited at Washington last winter, and
which called out so much newspaper
comment.
MAGAZINES.
The New England Magazine for De-
oember contains great variety of inter-
esting matter. The historical articles
are particularly good and the light articles
are very interesting. Sc Bromfield Street,
Boston.
Arthur's Home Magazine for Decem-
Der has very attractive table of contents.
The rrontispiece, "Child of Paradse' is
excellent. One OF the most interesting
OF the manv articles is "a Visit to the
Catacombs." 920 Walnut Srteet, Phila-
delphia.
Scribner's Magazine is an accomplished
fact The first mum ber-dated January,
1SS7-is in the market. As to outside
appearances 1t makes no great preten-
sions. The cover is a yellowish brown
ana the Typography severely simple. The
only characterization is a seal bearing the
date in the centre of the page and fern
leaf border along the margin. In praise
worthy compliance with universal public
seutiment-at least on this side of The
Atlantic-the edges are cut. In contents
the new magazine makes strong bid
for public favor. 1t has secured corps
OF brilliant contributors, and this first
number Is full of interest. The leading
article is graphic account OF the down
fall of the French Empire, written by ex-
Minister Washburne, who remained in
Paris during all that troubled period, and
whose official position gave him eXcep-
tional opportunities for observing every.
thing. There is one illustrated piece OF
fiction, "The Story ola New York House."

humorous one, but sober recital, appar-
