The November number Of the ''ChUrch
Work,'' is out and contains several special
articles which should be read carefully.
Editorially it dwells at some length on the
question Of High License and very ably
defends the prohibitOry law Mrs. j. n.
Webster contributed a very interesting
and helpful article under the head of t'Our
Refuge" A letter received by the Y. P.

''The New Universal Atlas" published
by George F. Cram Of Chicago, and intro
duced by E. c. Keech of Burlington, who
has the management of the same for Yer

unreservedly to the attention ofour read
ers. It is a work of the highest merit,
introduced by gentlemen of tact and intel
ligence, and is very reasonable as to price.
The pu bIication is the outgrowth of years
of study and experience in geographical
publications, and work Of reference
for school children and family we are con-
WINGED it is invaluable. The maps are
numerous and well printed and include
countries not found in many works of
this character. AS a reference work, many
who have examined it concede that it is of
highest merit, many pronouncing it of
more practical value than other similar
works in their libraries which have cost
them two or three times the cost of the

Carl Harvey, who has been clerking for
E. B. Robinson for some time, in company
with Nelson Campbell went to Holeb, near
Lowelltown, Maine two weeks ago on a
deer hunt and returned Wednesday night
with two deer. The boys saw several others
and shot at and wounded two which !they
failed to get. They were in a hard wood,
mountainous territory, near them was
bor Inv iob
abound, but although they saw great
number of tracks they did not try to bag
any of the game. The first deer Carl shot
he had to carry some distance on his back
and before reaching camp he thought
it would weigh a ton sure. The boys had
good luck, employed no guides and hunted
alone. In going in to the camp from the
station they carried packs on their backs
weighing about fifty pounds for ballast,
but the five mile tramp over a rough trail !
brought out the realities of the trip so that
at night they slept very soundly, admitting
of skunk coming into camp and partak-
ing of the grub. They report that part |
ridges could be hunted and killed in that
section by the use of a walking stick.

January 18th by Rev. DR.. Wharton of Bal
timore, Md, who will speak on ''The Ups |
