The too common mistake in publications of
this character is that they try to cover too much
ground, doing no subject full justice. This,
however. cannot be truthfully said of this work.
Properly, the greatest attention is
given to the kitchen and table,
where the heaviest expense falls upon
the housekeeper, and where the greatest saving
and greatest waste is possible. Beginning with
recipes for making bread, and entering minutely
into all the details. the book gives 400 of its 600
pages to the preparation of dishes of all kinds,
illustrating how fowls, fishes and meats should
be served and carved There are numerous
recipes for the preparation OF each
dish. SO that any taste may be
| gratihed and pleasing variety is afforded.
| Passing through the long list of Breads cakes,
soups, fish, meats, poultry, game. puddings,
| pickles. pastry. fruits. ETC.. the two hundred re-
| naming pages are taken up with hints and dl-
rections for the Kitchen laundry, toilet, nursery,
sick chamber beverages, poultry raising, flower
| garden, bee culture, silk culture, etc. The
| housekeeper who would not be able to save ten
times the cost of the book by having its advice
would be too stupid to profit by anything. 1t is
| sold only by subscription.

DR. Vernon will be remembered as the pastor
of Roberts Park Church, of this city, and hence

portant subject with which it deals will have a
localized interest to many of our readers. There

purpose is to show the scrptural founda
| ton for the doctrines of the final
probation of this life and the endless
| punishment of the wicked. DR.. Vernon believes
| these doctrines to be founded on the nature and
necessity of the love of God, and ne argues this
thesis with deep earnestness, and marshals the
Scriptures to its support The book reveals crit
| ical scholarship and very careful preparation.
