HOW TO REAR THE BABY.

"The Care of the Baby manual for
mothers and nurses, by ]. P Grocer Grit
fiths, MD, contains useful information
and practical directions for the manage
ment of children in health and diseases.
Details of the baby's toilet, including lists
of the necessary clothes, the methods of
feeding the baby, sleep, exercise and train
ing are all commented upon and described.
Much attention is given to the subject OF
the child's nurses, the childs rooms, in
Guiding the day nursery, the night nursery,
the sickroom and the scboolroom, with
timely hints as to heating, ventilation and
furnishing. The longest and probably most
important chapter is that devoted to the
sick baby, for under this head are given
the symptoms of the diseases of childhood
with simple remedies.
Appended to the book are various

on the study of ORTHODOXY and the identi-
fication of birds will prove of great value
to the amateur in beginning the study of
this most interesting subject in natural
history. The birds are so highly special
lied, so far in advance in intelligence and in
terest OF all other wild creatures, and they
are, moreover, so easily studied, when q
beginning is once made, that one wonders
that an intimate knowledge of bird life is
confined almost entirely to specialists on
the subject.
Mr.. Chapman's book is admirably sup
piled with keys to the species and descrip-
tions OF their plumages, nests and eggs,
their distribution and migrations and a
brief account of their haunts and habits.
In fact, in volume not too largo for field
use he has given US an epitome of exactly
the knowledge we want concerning our
little brothers of the air. Eastern birds
have received good deal Of attention Of
late, and a number of good bird books
have been published, but it is misfortune
that no one seems yet to have arisen who
can do for the birds of the Pacific Coast

Alterations, las in the concluding lines of
this same poem, "Work and Wages"
which we quote from Scribner's Magazine:
When the daybreak comes pushing its beams
through the mist.
Rebuilding the palace OF light;
Then up and away toward the summit afar
Toward the peak hanging dream-like and eerie,
Under The morning star.
One feels certain straining after effect
that is rarely noticeable in Professor Mark

hanging dream-like and eerie''

given of the numerous kinds of baths. as
well as formule for the making of poul-

ACROSS INDIA.

Men may come and men may go, but it
looks as though Oliver Optic intended to
go on forever writing books for boys.
Like good wine, he improves with age, and
writes with the dash and vigor of old and
the interest of to-day. His contempo-
nervousness is, perhaps, not the least STIR
ring thing about Oliver Optic. Most of the
men who wrote some thirty years ago re.
tain something of the old-timey atmos-
phere in their later work, but not so he.
"Across India" is right up to date, and the
modern boy will find it as interesting as,
twenty odd years ago, his father found the
authors earlier books. Boston: Lee &

into verse. One cannot but hope that
having freed his mind in this direction the
author will return to the paths Of literary
rectitude-and prose. There is more
poetry in most of Mr.. Savage's prose than
there is in any of his verse. His prose is
full of imagination there is none in his
verse. The various poems that make
up the volume read like schoolboy efforts
at composition. They are commonplace
and dreary. The lines flow on with fatal
fuency.. Fancy a poet standing "before
Schiller's statue" and saying:
Here, in the lovely Tbiergarten,
Shaded by noddins trees,
Stands Friedrich Schiller, carved In stone
Near beautiful Louise!

freedom from conventional restraints that
mark him as pre-eminently poet and not

In appearance Professor Markham is
singularly like another poet with whom he
has much in spiritual and intellectual COM
munity-William Morris. How marked
is this facial resemblance will be seen by a
glance at the two portraits which we re-
produce to-day. The Californian is much
the younger man of the two, and while not
yet approximating the wonderful breadth
of intellectual sympathy which character
ICES the older poet, his work already re-
veals the poetic faculty IN a far higher de-
gree than does anything Morris has yet

How TO MAKE MONEY, ALTHOUGH A
WoMAN.-The author of this book, Irene W.
HART, has already enlightened the world
upon "How to Get Married, Although q
Woman" Her present subject is a shade
more abstruse. Thackeray said: 'Give a
woman opportunity, and if she have taste
and have not actually a hump
we quote from memory-"she may marry
whom she will" But for a woman to
make money is another and more difficult
matter. Miss HART has compiled quite
record of ways In which women have made
money, but there is painful lack of au-
thenticity about some of her records. She
cites two rather famous women who are
known of all their friends as being in cir
cumstances quite precarious as examples
of women who have made a great deal of
money giving parlor lectures. She recon-
mends making women's exchange wares,
packing trunks and the writing for the
newspapers as avenues open for women,
and gravely informs her readers that if a
woman has some money ana wishes to
make more, she cannot do better than to
speculate in stocks.
Taking into consideration that she is
writing for the usually ignorant and mex
perienced, the value of Miss Hartt' book
is more than problematic. New York:

every time as the only thing ready for busi-

Lincoln was sent him on trial, and it has
proved great success. 1t is always ready
to "go," but never overdoes the thing
the ink flowing always uniformly and in the
right measure. This pen is now used in all
departments of this Office, for all kinds of
service, and has stood the test without a
failure. The Lincoln is now in use in the

featuring offices of Montpelier, and has been
bought by people in all the professions and
employments. 1t is the UNIVERSAL FAVOR.
