The author states in his preface that the
work is intended for specially apt pupils,
those above the average in ability and
for teachers, advanced classes, school
superintendent, etc. There are solu-
tons by some of the best mathematicians
in the country. This reviewer has sub
mitted the book to a civil engineer who
pronounces it an excellent thing to put
on an engineers table for the use OF
students and says it contains no incon-
siderable amount of mental gymnastics.
In short that it is thorough, skillful
and scientific work and fills a genuine
mathematical want (New York, Gin

A Family Canoe Trip. By Florence
Waters Snedeker, illustrated, takes the
reader, restfully and charmingly up the
Hudson River to Lake George, to Lake
Champlain and thence to the canoe meet
of 1891 at Wellsborough Point. Though
the scheme be SO simple, the effect is
like travelling with congenial companions
The pen that guides the narrative is
happy one and the ''32 mo-" (Which to
the experienced means a tiny book
enough) takes it's place worthily in the
Harper's Black and White series, the
previous numbers of which are from
Howells three volumes), Curtis and
Brander Matthews. The dainty pictures
are really very good and the closing ban
ner calls forth an acquiescing cheer.

The Cross Roads or Choice in Life.
A story for Young Women and Older
Girls by Charlotte M. Yonge, illustrated
by J. +. Weldon has for its heroine the
''parlour, part house and sewing maid"
of an English home and for its hero Mr..
Thomas Tolman, coachman and man
about the house. With entire sympathy
the author enters into the daily life, de-
tailed routine of work and conversation
of the servants of the establishment
and very good and pleasant servants they
are too, with their neat black silks for
best and their pretty caps and ribbons
and aprons. There is no suggestion of
how any other walk in life affects ''Cook"
and Emma" and ''Elizabeth,' no limited
notion of amelioration or reform; no
patronage. Apparently the writer finds
entire pleasure in the doings and sayings
brisk and every day of the company, por-
trayed. For individuals of just the same
scope, it holds an excellent moral. The
author has also written Uuder the Storm

Passing the Love of Women by Mrs.
j. Fl. Needell, author of Stephen Eli
colts Daughter, etc., is a love story
where there are ways, not those of pleas
antness and peace to which the reader
must allow the skillful author to recon
Gle him. For in spite of occasional care,
1essnesses both in English and in trifing
statements-bits Of inaccurate repetition
etc., the novel is well told and has both
spirit and body. Its people live and
breathe and are drawn for us with so
much clear cut dramatic power that we
read to the end-an end not without the
light of great happiness in the heart of
at least one of the heroes of the book.

one compartment across to the opposite par

had overcome in lifting himself into a
condition OF prosperity and affiuence. It
mentioned his having no heirs 70 bequeath

Father Coyle three times before the latter
gentleman would consent TO become ac-
lively interested In the gift OF the
Memorial School. After referring to
the present as the happiest pc

Mr.. Hazard gave the school as a Protes-

Catholic church. IL referred In humorous
strain TO the fact that since giving the
building he had come TO be regarded as
one of the curiosities OF Newport and he
was often asked how he came to act hs he

wound up by declaring that If the present
