A Fairy Nights Dream.

This volume, of large royal quarto size,
win constitute choice present for the
young ones. While not exactly book
for the babies and entirely fit for the IL
brary table of the older members OF the
family this delightful episode from the
court records of Queen Titania will prove
admirably adapted or story telling to the
little ones. Mother or elder sister will find
in these pages the inspiration that is so
often sadly lacking in so called cfildren's
literature. To deyc-op the Imagination is
task as difficult as it is important, and
every help In that direction ought to be
made welcome. In "a airy Nights
Dream the fancy of Shakespeare, in its
purest vein, has been continued by Miss
Chapman into the realms of Fairyland
and will bring pleasure to It's readers.

Proverbs and Quotations.

1.-The Worlds Best Proverbs and Short
Quotations." by George II. Opdyke
Laird & Lee. Chicago.
The need for such a, work, as this is
felt by t.le speaker and the author Moth
ing brightens up. a speech or an article
or even an everyday conversation like
an apt, crisp quotation that wakens up
the attention of the listener or reader,
and endows the whole topic with new
freshness and life. Proverbs have been
often called "the wisdom of nations" and
they certainly are like the essence of the
good things said and written in the~past.
Mr.. Opdyke's choice in this almost mex
haustible treasure has been intelligent
and clever; his method of classification by
subjects alphabetically arranged will
prove loon to the reader, and taken al
together no other such compilation has
ever united so many points of perfection
in the selection and grouping of these
gems of thought In its handsome make
up, the worlds best proverbs will prove
not oniJ an indispensable addition to
every library. but also a specially appro-
pirate gift for all occasions. A remark

"Menory Street"

Memory Street." by Martha Baker
Dunn From Il: G. Page & Co.. Boston.
A story of life. without egotism. SO
sweetly and tenderly told as to play at
the heartstrings which have not been
swept on memory's Tyre for years; TAX
ing the aged back to the scenes of their
own childhood, its innocent pleasures,
early friendships and evening prayers at
mothers knee. What a canvas memory
is after all, on which life's scenes are
indelibly painted, with no other grain
Ing than the halo Of a mothers devotion
and the kindness Of universal God.
The author herself calls this literary
gem simple story. but a story of life,
without plot, except as a plot may be
lived from day to day, wherein people
come and go as they do in real life, and
the stage of It's action is the stage of the
world.
What pretty home stories come out Of
New England life. A pure and tender
impulse seems to be implanted within
every human breast. and the rural vii
lage life of those simple folk along the
North Atlantic coast-simple not In
knowledge CLEANED from books, but un-
taught of all the deceits of metropolitan
commercial and social life-is the ideal
life OWNED by God. but so little under
