NATURES SERIAL STORY, by Ed
ward P. Roe. Published by Dodd, Mead
e Co., New York. Price fifty cents
This is story of country life, in which
nature holds more prominent place
than does any of the interesting char
acters introduced. Mr.. Roe's we'll
known tendency in thought and plot is
observable. The volume is illustrated
by w. Hamilton Gibson and f. DEL
man.
LAKE CHAMPLAIN AND It's SHORES,
by w. II. II. Murray. Published by
DeWolfe, Fiske & Co., Boston. Price
81. Mr.. Murray has found rare OPP
portunity for giving lein to his magma
ton and descriptive powers. The lake
is rich with tradition, historical events
and natural beauty of the highest kind.
1t is an inspiring theme, and to the au-
thor it has suggested little volume of
intense interest to residents along the
lake, visitors to it and readers Of his
tory. He treats the subject in a racy,
suggestive way, not pretending to go
exhaustively into details, but giving the
leading phases of the subject space and
attention ample to fix place and story
firmly in the minds of readers. 1t is a
book that has reason for existing, and
it is certainly fortunate that so appreci-
alive and competent a writer as Mr..
Murray set his hand to the pleasant
task-for it must have been a real pleas
ure to make the investigations which
the subject called for. The work will
attract attention to the honorable record
Vermont made in the two wars with
England, as well as to those pre-
revolutionary struggles about the lake
which gave the men of New England
and New York the training that made
the war for independence successful.
Mr.. Murray calls to his aid in describ-
ing the fishing of the lake A. Nelson
Cheney of Glens Falls, n. Y, who
contributes an interesting chapter on
"The Game Fish and Fishing of Lake
Champlain." The book ought to pop.
ularize the lake for pleasure-seekers to
an extent not dreamed of before.

The Magazines.

THE LITERARY WORLD, f. II.
Hames & Co., Boston, publishers, is in
its twenty.frst volume. It's present
motto is, " Books, we know, are sub
stantial world, both pure and good"
and its noble aim is to bring men into
contact with just such world" If
specialist is a sine qua non in any
field, why not in the field of books?
To fan the contents of the cease
less press and winnow out the chaff is
no small undertaking, and no publica-
ton may be wholly sufficient for this
thing. But we prize what The Literary
World accomplsbes in this line, ia its
fortnightly issues of eleven pages Of
matter, in addition to its advertise ments,
which consist largely of books, and
which one is the richer for reading.
READERS of the June number of De-
moreSt'S Family Magazine are given an
inside view OF the White House at
Washington. The White House has
never before been so fully and beauti-
fully illustrated; and the numerous
handsome pictures which the article
contains, including portraits of " Baby
McKee," Mrs. Harrison, and the four
generations now residing in the White
House, make it especially interesting
to every American father, mother and
child. This number also contains pic
ture of four of " mothers darlings "
"Out for an Airing" which is SUI
peru water-color, equal in design and
execution to those selling at high price
at the art stores. Athletics for
20 ali an 4. Il
"The Lady Tramp" will no doubt
start many of " Our Girls off on the
healthful exercise, for it tells them just
what to do and what to wear when do
ing it. All other departments are full
to overlooking with entertaining and
helpful matter, and the stories are par
ticularly good.
LIPP1NCoTT's MAGAZINE for June is
brilliant and eminently readable num-
Der. The complete novel is contributed
by Mary Z. Stickney, and is entitled
Circumstantial Evidence" 1t is a
story of the Understandings ieal-
Ousies and final reconciliation of a
young couple, told in a natural and
charming manner. Robert Kennaway
Douglas has an interesting article upon
Inc origin OF ChineSe Culture and
Civilization" Mr.. Douglas points out
that the Chinese were not aboriginal in
China, but were immigrants into the
country from Babylonis. A paper
upon George Henry Boxer is contrib
uted by the eminent critic, r. H. Stod-
dard. The first installment of an enter
tanning series called Round Robin
Talks appears in this number. 1t
gives an account of the gathering to-
gether of a collection of bright people,
many of them contributors to the maya
zine, and it is full of amusing anec-
dotes, clever talk aud brilliant re-
partee. Julian Hawthorne, Max O'Rell
John Habberton, Edgar Fawcett, j.
Annoy Knox, William S. Walsh and
Maurice Barrymore are among the
well-known characters who figure in
this first installment of " Round-Robin
Talks"

Little Boy Blue.

Little Boy Blue.
The little toy dog is covered with dust,
But sturdy and staunch he stands;
And the little toy soldier Is red with rust,
And his musket moulds in his hands.
Time was when the little toy dog was new
And the soldier was passing fair
And that was the time when Little Boy Blue
Kissed them and put them there.
"Now don't you go till come" he said,
And don't you make any noise"
SO, toddling off to his trundle-bed,
He dreamt of the pretty toys.
And as he was dreaming, an angel song
Awakened our Little Boy Blue
Oh the years are many the years are long,
But the little toy friends are true,
Ay faithful to Little Boy Blue they stand,
Each in the same old place
Awaiting the touch Of a little hand,
The smile of little face;
And they wondered as waiting these long
years through.
In the dust of that little chair,
What has become OF our Little Boy Blue
Since he kissed them and put them there.

Soldiers Budget.
Memorial Day.

once more the nation pauses,
Its need OF love to lay
Above the sleeping soldiers
who wore the blue-and gray
The seams Of party dscord
Times ivy overgrows,
And North and South plant meekly
The myrtle and the rose
Though each once thought the other
Upon the erring side,
And brothers fought as foemen,
The dead we may not chide.
SO grudge not southern soldiers
The wealth of southern flowers,
The while we Irvine the garlands
of tenderest love for ours.
And surely 1t is fitting
That once in every year
The wheels of toll should slacken
And memory revere
These patient, silent heroes,
Who, in young manhood's pride
with most of life before them
For love of country died.
They make no claim upon us,
And wellnigh twenty years
Have passed since first we crowned them
With reverentlal tears.
In all life's stir and pageant
They have no part or lot
So strew the flowers above them
And plant forget.me-not
