NATURE BOOKS.

1t is a most encouraging feature or cur
rent child literature that children take
pleasure in reading nature books, the sup
ply Of which eminently useful literature
is RAPIDLY increasing both for children and
"grown-ups' Most of the new issues
about plants, trees. animals. ETC., are
written with good judgment and within
the comprehension of the young mind
The fairy tales Of science have been
introduced in chldren's; literature and
meet with real appreciation. The little
ones should not be too much crowded
with such books. however.
Young people who have read Miss Mar
shall Saunders Beautiful joe will be
delighted with her sequel to that story,
Beautiful Joes Paradise wherein she
tells about an animals heaven. While
there is some doubt about such a place for
animals there is no doubt about the coun-
trv described in Our Little African
Cousin" which tells of the queer people
and things away in the interior Of Africa
in most interesting way Something In
the fairy book line which will delight chill
dren who get it, is the new illustrated edl-
ton of Hans Andersens fairy tales. which
more than half century ago were eagerly
read by children. Hans Andersen wrote
such pleasing tales of fai1yland that a
monument to his memory may be seen in
Copenhagen, which the children decorate
every year. He wrote other things be-
| sides fairy tales but his fame came to him
through his genius for writing stories for
children and nobody has ever surpassed
! him in this field =
! A few more wonder books for children
may be mentioned, as "Gulliver's BIRD
| Book 1.-THE Princess Kallisto,' beauti-
fully illustrated in color and I'm Happy
| Far Away Land A book which will make
| all the children laugh is "Topsys and Tur-
veys," humorous in text and Illustrations
The Minneapolis journal. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1888-1939, 1902-11-29
a NEW "BIBLE BOOK"

1.-THE Bible for Children" published by
the Century Company, is an arrangement
Of the text Of the King James version to
make it more attractive to the child mind.
The genealogies and the descriptions OF
complicated prophetic visions and other
matter eliminated, leaves for the child
to read, a convenient text, embodying the
sequence of events when historic writing
comes in The work has been well done.
There is a preface by Professor Francis
Brown, D. D., of the Union Theological
seminary, New York, and the introduce
ton is by Bishop Potter Of the diocese
of New York. The illustra tions. twenty
four in number, and full-page, are from
the old masters, the frontispiece being
RaphaeIs Madonna of the Choir. Price So.
Take them altogether, the books for
children this year are, to a gratifying eN-
tent, of a higher order than heretofore
Where is tendency to make even the
fairy tales pointedy, but not obtrusively,
conveyors of rudimentary moral instruc-
ton, and, in the stories the boys and
girls presented, if good, strongly so,
with nothing namby pamby about them.

LATE ARRIVALS.

Bob knights Diary" Camping Out"
by Charlotte Curtis Smith, is another in
the series of the doings Of Bob Knight.
Not the least of the amusing features are
the sketches contributed by Bob himself.
This is healthy, rolr1cking story Of boy
life in camp.
The. Rosy. Cloud" by George Sand, is
a quaint, fancifuI story for children in
George Sands happiest manner. The
delicate sentiment and breezy outdoor. at
mosphere have long combined to make the
tale a favorite. "Jackanapes," by Julia
HOratia Ewing, is a new edition of one
of the worlds immortal short stories. The
portrait of Jackanapes is spirited ard con-
vincing. All that is manly, lovable and
unseltish is to be found in the heart of
this splendid boy. A wholesome story is
"Fernley House." by Laura E. Richards,
author with plenty of perfectly natural
home trials and triumphs. A story on
the order Of Jules Verne is 1.-THE Cruise
of the Charlemagne," by w. O. Stoddard,
but rather thin in incident and none too
we'll written.
Foxy the Faithful. by Lily F. Wes-
selhoeft, is another Of Mrs. Wesselhoeft' 8
and animals, in which the sayings and
doings of the May children, their dog
! "Foxy.' their horse Snapper" and a
whole houseful of dolls serve to make a
book that will please both boys and girls.
ION Guard! Against Tory and Tarleton, -
by John Preston True. is stirring tale
of the Revolutionary War. A book, how
ever more suitable for the older readers,
because of its heart interest Thor
| oughly wholesome, however, and full OF
the colonial atmosphere.
| Rob and His Gun" by William Alex
ander Linn, will be a delight to boys who
like hunting in any form. 1t is Rob's
good fortune to belong to- a family whose
men hunt in the most approved way, and
the various chapters describe the hunt
ing. trips when he accompanied them. AT
the same time the book points out the
difference between the pleasure of a. true
sportsman and the taking Of life for the
mere sake of killing.
Under Colonial Colors," by Everett T.
Tomlinson, is the story of the attack or
Quebec, based upon historical documents
1t gives in a vivid, readable manner 6
picture of the heroisrn, determination ant
almost superhuman endurance Of the ner
who took part in the Inflated expedition
against Quebec. .-.
The Life and Adventure Of Santa
Claus by L. Frank Baum (the Bowen.
Merrill company, Indianapolis), is mos
charming history created to explain Santt
Claus and why he loves children. It il
a book that every child, young or old
will thoroughly enjoy, and it is, moreover
a book which should be in every library.

THE MAGAZINES

The leading December; magazines sug-
gest in their fine illustrative features the
very great progress which has been made
in this respect in the last quarter Of
century, notably in the application Of high
art to the Illustration of periodicals. Com
pare the Harper's of to-day with the Har-
per's of 1852 and one will be deeply i'm
pressed with the advance in latter-day
Illustration. Harper's Christmas number
is a thing OF beauty: cover design and
between covers. Swinburne's critique on
king Lear" is most attractively illus
trated with full-page reproduction of
Abbey's "Goneril and Regain" in color,
besides drawings by the same eminent ar
fist reproduced in tint. There are other
noticeable Illustrations, as those in color
to illustrate Mark ,Twain's. story "Was
1t Heaven? Or Help. by F.. M Ashe,
and Howard Py1e's fine illustrations in
color Of Mr.. Champlin's story of Captain
Kidd. Other Illustrations are by Cas-
tagne, Rogers, Howard Christy, Smeddy,
Hitchcock and Elizabeth Green, setting
off the text of very clever stories, of
which there are seven OF eight. Booth
Tarkington's description Of the society of
the middle west is a, piquant feature of
the number, which Is in tone and spirit
a veritable Christmas number.

Literature for Children

It has been said incautiously that there
are no children at the present time; that
the youngsters have outgrown. childish
things and are weary Of Children's litera-
ture. But the actual condition reveals no
such lapse of devotion of the child-1nind to
wonder tales or to the stories we usually
call children's books. While twentieth

have not given up their dolls and doll
houses and the little boys have not aban-
doned the making Of mud pies and the
practice of wading in mud puddles, and

interest III stories about children and
things interesting to them. alice In
Wonderland and even the old and new
versions Of Mother Goose attract them.
The zest for chldren's books illustrated
and not illustrated is keen, as the pub
fishers Of such literature all testify.
