In this volume, Mrs. Grace Duffie Boylan,
seems TO have caught something of this
spirit in her efforts to mingle instruction
with amusement. The book is made up
of little poems relating TO the children
or Kids of different countries and every
one contains an educational idea regard
ing the life, customs or habits of the peo-
pie to which it relates. Nearly all of the
countries, colonies and known islands of
the world are thus treated, so tina the
child reader is really taken on a reading
journey around the world and introduced
everywhere to something new and strange.
Thus introducing the verses on China we
have:
Around the world in China land
They have the queerest WAYS.
They go to bed when we wake up,
Our nights are all their days;
They write a letter up and down,
Instead of left and right,
And put their hats on in the house
When they are most polite.
A Chinese man will shake his hand
Instead of shaking yours;
He'll play at shuttlecock, but use
His feet for battledOres.
The little boys who go TO school
Their lessons loudly sing:
This little one who ran away
To take his lunch, is Ming.
Again opening the book at random one
reads:
l asked a little Spanish maid
To tread the dance with me;
As with her pretty fan she played,
She smiled: Isl, senior, ST"
I looked around. What should 1 see?
| knew not, | confess.
She saw my doubt, and said in glee,
LAT means YES, mister, yes"
IT'S easy, as you will agree,
A Spanish word to guess.
You spell 1t ISL and call il ''see'
And mean: Yes, mister, yes"
And so little Indians. little boys or girls
of France, Germany. Holland, Hawaii,
Mexico, Japan and many other countries
are introduced with quaint and simple
verses calculated to interest children and
set them thinking. Some of the verses rise
TO the level of poetry and show real imagi-
nation. The illustrations In bright colors
by Ike Morgan are very numerous and are
ideal in their appropriateness. expressive
ness and originality. In general appearance
and makeup the book does credit to the
publishers as well as 10 it's author and
illustrator, and it will certainly gladden. the
heart of every child who may be so fortu-
nate as to become the possessor of it.

A BUNDLE FROM STOKES.

Mrs. Peary, as will be remembered, ac-
companied her husband. the Arctic ex-
plorer, on one of his northern expeditions
several years ago, and while they were
pending a winter among the Eskimos a
daughter was born to them. The story Of
this baby. her experiences, the manner in
which she was cared for in that icy region.
the natives, young and old, who were in
terested in her welfare, a long series of
unique happenings-are told by Mrs. Peary
in a holiday book bearing the title. THE
Snow Baby" The narrative. which is in
teresting of itself. is made more so by
numerous Photographic reproductions,
showing Miss Baby in her curious fur gar
ments, the natives, young and old, the
dogs. the houses and many other things
that the ordinary youngster never has the
privilege Of seeing in the whole course Of
his life. The merit of this tale is that it is
strictly true.
Another tale. not so true, but not less
entertaining, relates a series ot surprising
adventures in which a boy who was very
fond of hearing about Indians and forest
life became involved. The story is called
The Fairyland Of America and animals,
birds and Indians cut some curious pranks
in it's pages. 1t reads much like one of
those serial stories told in the twilight by
a complaisant "~grown-up' with an I'M
trammeled imagination and a reckless dis
position to an eager and trustful child or
two. The author Of the tale. Herbert
Quick. has a sense Of humor which finds
an outlet in numerous puns and plays upon
words. The illustrations. forty-three in
number. are by L. w. Deming.
"Urchins at the Pole is the title Of an
other Arctic book. but, unlike the Peary
story, ii is purely ~fanciful. The "urchins"
are sea-urchins which have various ad-
ventures in company with polar bears,
mermaids and walruses. The tale is told
by Marie ove-ton Corbi~. . TIE weird

Miss Louisa Alcott had the faculty pos
sessed by few writer's for young people OF
putting a warm and genuine human inter-
est into her stories. The reason of this. no
doubt, was the fact that she wrote of what
she knew and wrote with sympathy. Hers
were no perfunctory tales. spun out TO a
certain length merely to meet publishers
demands. She was a woman who retained
a youthful heart; she loved children and
was able TO enter with understanding into
their ambitions. hopes and pIans-to see
through their eyes. The children in her
books, 1t is plain. were real to her, and.
therefore. it is that they become actual
p%ersonages to the young readers. They feel
that Meg" 10" Beth" and the rest
must certainly have lived and behaved
Just as she described. The charm of Lit
tie Women" Little Men and IAN Old

Instantly recognized by the youth of the
generation for which the books were espe-
cially written. but time has proved that the
charm was not an ephemeral one. The
books have become classics in libraries for
the young In all the flood OF juvenile fic-
ton produced since no tales are found that
take their place. They are as great favor
ties with the children of to-day as they
were twenty-five years ago. Recognizing
this, the publishers have brought out a
new and handsomely illustrated edition of
Little Men" for the benefit of youngsters
who lave yet before them the pleasure of
