1t has often been remarked that 1t Is most
difficult to find the right kind of books for
girls of fifteen and sixteen, and they are apt
to experience craze at their age for the
silliest third-rate novels. When Sarah
Orne Jewett brought out Betty Leicester"
it was acknowledged to be the right kind of
story to put into such a girls hand.
Betty went to England soon after she in
spired that story and there she had charm
ing time, seeing famous places and people
and enjoying all the unfamiliar experiences.
The mcst remarkable of these was con-
nected with the Christmas season and they
are delightfully."- described in Miss Jewett's

a volume of stories by Charles Waldstein
Sade, professor of fine arts at Cambridge

deal, in the authors phase, with "the ethics

Naturalists and students of science the
world over will be greatly interested in the
new volume containing THE Life of James
Dwight DANA" by Daniel c. Gilman, presi-
dent of Johns Hopkins university. On the
title page Prof. Dana is characterized as
Scientific Explorer, Mineralogist, Geologist.
Zoologst, Professor in Yale university and
these five phases give a summary of this
memoir. Prof. Dana dwet long upon the
high seas and their shores and islands, and
among their primitive inhabitants, so that
he might be called an ocean ographer or
ocean-explorer. His distinction as a natural
ist was gained in three great fields and his
career from beginning to end was identified
with Yale college. The great work which
Prof. Dana did for science will never be
forgotten, and the present biography is a
fitting testimonial of the esteem in which
he is held by scholars. Harper & Brothers,

Good Demand for Farms.

WEST POINT Neb Sept. 30.-(Special.) }
Land owners in this county are already
being besieged for the rental OF farms for
the coming year. For several years until
last year, 1t was difficult to secure good
tenants and some farms were not leased
for this reason until late in the winter. This
year of republican prosperity the conditions
are exactly reversed. The fact is that there
are from seven to nine applicants for every
quarter OF land to rent. The ex-county
treasurer of Cunning county, who had three
quarters to rent and advertised the same in
the county papers has been inundated by
applications to rent, some of them coming
from the eastern states The farms were
rented before the ink was dry on the adver-
tisement.
