The publication. OF the book. what a
Woman of As Ought TO Know" completes
the best and most exceptional series ever
published on avoided subjects. Mrs. Emma
1. A. Drake, NJ. D., is the author and 1t is
published by the Vir Publishing Company.
The eminent Communications and universal
approval OF reviewers in the religious, edu-
cational, medical and secular papers have
awarded this series a place which has
given 1t a circulation around the globe. The
only regret expressed in the appearance
OF this series is that these books should
not have been written and published gen.
erations ago. To take a subject, which has
been abandoned to quacks and imposters
for ages, and so to lift it into the realm
Of pure and sacred thinking, that pastors
can and do recommend the series from their
pulpits, that missionaries translate the
books for use in their work, that parents
can give them to their sons and daughters,
is an achievement which will commend this
series to every intelligent and thoughtful
person.
In this latest and concluding book Of the
series. Mrs. Drake has equaled in style and
interest the character Of her previous book,
entitled, What a Young Wife Ought to
Know" for which she received a prize of
81, 600. 1t is, written in. that wholesome,
sympathetic manner characteristic Of all
the purity books in this series,

Internationally the two great serials by
the leading American writer's, Richard
Harding Davis and F. Hopkinson Smith.
These two stories, which reach the highest
mark in the achievement Of each writer,
are entirely different in scope and treat
ment. One is a story Of adventure and the
other is a romance of artist-life In New
York. "The New Agriculture by w. S,
Harwood, is what the author calls glimpses
into 1.-The pages OF a book Of magic" Few
people realize that a thousand trained sci
entihc men are at work, and a million
dollars are expended annually by the gov
eminent to support the agricultural expert
ment stations in the various states. Within
the last decade the work Of these men, the
results Of which are freely given to the
public, has revolutionized many branches
Of agriculture and added millions Of dol
lars to the value Of farm products in the
United States. This article for the first
time sets forth in popular form these won
derful achievements. The illustration shows
SOM Of the experiments in progress, The
article will be an eye-opener to those
who believe that agriculture has stood still
while other American industries have gone
ahead. e.
That literary ability is inherited would
seem to be a fact judging by the list OF
contributors to the June st. Nicholas.
Interest in the capital story, Hunting the
Puma is increased by. the fact that the
author illustrator is a seventeen -year-old
lad and a grandson Of Edwin Booth;
Ethel Parton, who contributes a charming
ballad of the old Puritan days, is the
daughter of James Parton, the noted his

Songs Of the Western Colleges is a new
collection Of songs published by Kinds &
Noble. 1t has an introduction by Horace
Gillette Lozier OF the University OF Chi
cago and Richard Walton Tully OF the
University of California. All the world
loves the songs Of the Jolly college student.
Many Of them have become popular and
universal songs for male quartets. Many
Of the old favorites have been included in
this book. This has been done at the
special request Of very many alumni and
alumnae, who wish to have some means Of
living over again in the old familiar songs,
the old happy days, with their sweet mem
cries OF alma mater. But the book is made
up principally of western songs. For many
years the western colleges have been sing
ing their college songs unnoticed. The com
pliers have endeavored to secure all OF
these songs and place them In a book
which would not only reveal these native
western long to the east, but give to the
western colleges a book containing all the
songs familiar to their alumni as we'll as to
the undergraduates. Our own state is rep
resented in the book by two songs. One,

and familiar melodies, will be welcomed

write you a short letter
am very anxious to know
how you are all getting along
and there is nothing that l
would appreciate more than a
letter from home.
We arrived at st. Lucia, w.
l., Dec. 9TH, stayed there about
ten hours.
st. Lucia was a very inter.
esting place. The bay lies back
well into the land, with very
high mountain ranges on each
side, with their slopes cover ed
with cocoa palms, banana
trees, loaded with fruit and in
fact most all the tropical fruits
one could name.
One would think it a very
desirable place to live. as there
is never frost and everyth ing
green the year around.
There are very few VIII tie
people, but the Inhabitant S
seem to be much wiser tina II

A few miles back of the city,
we can see the high, volca mic
mountains, which every few
hours burst forth like som e
mighty blast, throwing lava
and red hot mass, many hun.
dred feet in the air.

very interesting scenery. We
never saw land again until we

We left Cape Town on the
evening of Jan. 3rd, that was
the most PLEASANT period of all

keeping near the coast, where
one could see many things of
interest. A long the coast of
