WINGS AND STINds.--Thls is the
airy, singing title of another spright-
Iy amusing book by Palmer Cox. 1t
is one of the Queer People series,
and similar to its companion "Paws
and Claws, of which we told you re-
Gently. This is one Of the funniest
and brightest books for youngsters
we have ever seen. The illustrations
are splendid and will make the boys
and girls roar with laughter. The
Boston Budget says: "as a holiday
book nothing could be more appropri-
ate, since nothing could confer great
err pleasure upon the little ones
rno 1vaJIonaI hepupncan says: "EC-
ery page as a picture and all the tert
nausic, a fountain of fun, ,aeuer ceas-
ang. 1t aoiU make young eyes bloze.'

ular. 1t is published by Messrs.
Hubbard Bros, Of Philadelphia, Chi
cago, and Kansas City, to whom per-
sons desiring a copy or an agency
should apply.
The minstrels held high carnival
last night. Fun, music, and the
clever specialties as presented by
this company, amused the large au-

tor arouned from first to last. The
singing, the dancing, the intricate
marches, the music costumes, etc,
are superior in every respect. The
company is very strong unsteady,
and much of their success is due to
this fact. The fun is pure and whole.
