A BOOK OF BUTTERFLIES.

1.-THE Butterfly Book" by w. J. Hol-
land. Doubleday Mcclure Company
With the study of nature, which has
of late years been so marked a feature
in popular interest, the publication OF
any book which deals with the natural
world auguVs an assured success, Espe-
cially IL the author enters upon com
paratiVely new and untried field or
presents to his readers a storehouse OF
knowledge, which has hitherto, either
by reason OF price or technical treat
ment, been inaccessible to the vast
majority, is his work greeted with the
fame which it justly merits. Among
such books, one which may well rank
with the first is the recent publication
on the BUTTERFLIES of America. offered
to the public by DIR. w, J. Holland, I'M
der the title The Butterfly Book"
AS DR.. Holland tells us In his preface,
his chief aim in writing the book is to
popularize the study Of butterflies IN
America, to bring within the reach OF
the average amateur enthusiast on en-
tomology a work so Illustrated and
written as to enable him easily to
identify the numerous divisions and
sub divisions Of the butterfly families
without the scientific knowledge neces-
sary for even a superficial understand
ing Of more technical books.
That DR.. Holland mas most admirably
succeeded is evident from the sale OF
the book (already in its second edition).
and the testimony Of eminent persons
who have perused its pages. Before en-
tering upon the subject in detail, he
acquaints his readers with the life his
tory and anatomy of butterflies in gen
eral, the methods for this capture and
preservation Of specimens, and the
rules for the classification Of butter
flies.
The larger part of the text is, how
ever, very properly devoted to detailed
species OF the five great butterfly
families Of North America, and de-
scribes not only the fully-developed In
sect in the form of the butterfly, but
also its life from the egg through the
stages which it passes to the perfect
Image" As If to reiterate his state
ment that his book Is essentially Of a
popular character the author has In
terspersed among the more technical
descriptions a number Of humorous
anecdotes and poems which relate prl-
marily to butterflies and offer the
chance Of DEPRESSION.
A prominent feature lis the series OF
As colored plates which reproduce the
caterpillars, chrysalids and BUTTERFLIES
OF the different genera In natural color
and size. From these plates II is an
easy matter to Identify specimens quite
independently OF the text with nu-
meTous text Illustrations to supplement
the plates, the Illustration Is of Itself
enough to recommend the book as q

the study Of entomology.

CONFIRMATION"

Coordination, or, Are you ready to
serve Christi" Originally compiled by
the Most Reverend Ashton Oxenden, D.
D., late bishop Of Montreal. Henick &
Co, New York.
This little manual of preparation for
confirmation consists of eight short
talks intended to arouse and edify the
youthful mind. As religion they may
be excellent, but it is difficult to under
stand how any frivolous or doubling
person could be changed mentally or
spiritually by the application Of such
weak banalities. Their chief usefulness
would seem to lie in furnishing the
clergyman who has been too busy to
get up his talk with something handy
and easy to say.

ONE USE FOR THE WEED.

Tobacco water is an excellent wash
for plants. Take handful Of tobacco
stems and steep them by pouring boil
ing water over them until the water
looks like strong tea. When the wa.
ter is cool wipe off the leaves and stems
with a soft cloth. This removes in
sects and keeps the plants in good con-
dition. The infusion weakened still
further may be poured about the roots
with good effect
