 disturbed by finding marginal or other | lines drawing attention to what has ar l rested the notice of some previous read CT, is we'll presented in these attractive | new stories. The graphic power of the Passages. The graphic power of the 1 sketches; the sunny wholesome air Of hope throughout the intuitive percep- ton, sharpened by careful study, Of physical conditions as affected by men,
 tai and spiritual activities; and the
 quiet sense of humor which lends a lightness to the touch, make these sto- ries likely to be very acceptable to a large body of most intelligent readers and the book has already awakened a lively interest The volume contains several other stories of more miscellane- ous interest, although all are more or less infused with the same bright healthful hopeful spirit, that which appears in Miss Pennington's admirable little volume of Don't Worry Nuggets '' which has been received with such marked favor The book is very taste fully bound and presents in all very attractive appearance.
 "A Voyage to the Moon," by Cyrano de Bergerac. This is very poetical, fancifu and imaginative narrative of trip to the moon, describing the inhabi- tants of that planet and their strange customs, such as sleeping on beds of flowers, paying their score at the tav- erns with original poetry, and eating by inhaling odors through the pores of the body. Lord Orrery. in his Life of Swift" credits this work with direct ing the plan" of "Gulliver's Travels" :" This. is the first substantially complete translation ever published; the main idea of the original work--locating the Garden of Eden in the moon--having been suppressed as heretical, probably by Cyrano's own friends; and Curtis Hidden Page, of Columbia University has supplied notes and an introduction, while the book is illustrated with some quaint seventeenth century engravings.

 "The Index Finger by Tulis Abrojal. is singularly interesting volume, domi- mated throughout by an evident high minded singleness of purpose and an equally evident implicit faith by the au thor in the message which she brings. Of a deeply introspective mind with high ideals, she clings to belief in the potentiallty of the little material instru- ment known as planchette as means of speaking with the invisible world. Jobs deathless question: If man die. shall he live agan?" is dealt with by the au- thor in this volume, yet treating. as it does, of spiritual matters and the devel- opment of one central feminine nature, it can hardly be classed as spiritualis- tic work It should rank rather as a contribution to the literature of real the osophy. Whatever query the spiritual ly receptive reader may raise in regard to the authors special belief, that kind of reader can not fail to feel en rapport with the general stream of doctrine con- cerning life here as well as hereafter, which flows clear and vitalizing through the book. The book, very handsomely printed and bound in cloth at $1.25, by R. F. Fenno & Co.,, New York is one that should be in the library of every seeker for knowledge of the things that perish not, and every special student of the spiritual aspirations of mankind, whether in accord with its preachngs or no, will find. it of remarkable interest Copies at Judd & Co.'S.
