form and stay in the readers eye long after the reading is done There is one poem, Life and Love-" that will bear mention, there is such strength and pathos in it. The closing stanza shows its pure rhythm:
 To-day is for love and kisses, With life at it's golden prime,
 A century's wealth of blisses.
 We reap in moments time.
 The heart keeps time to the measure,
 While the harp of love rings high. To-day is for love and pleasure;
 Tomorrow we die, we diei
 On page sixty-tWo appears the poem, ''The Bicycle" which won the first prize in the competition held by the Critic and for which many hundreds of poems were submitted.
 Besides the biographical sketch and the poems there appear in the book the resolutions adopted by the clergy of the state at the close of the memorial service at All Saints church on Decem- Der IS. The eyes of the ones who knew him will rest on these lines:
 "He walked with God in personal fel- lowship, he lived with men as in brotherhood. He lives yividly in our memory, an incentive to heroic living"
 There will come to those, too, the force of this quotation from Whittier on the title page:
 Glad witness to your zeal for God
 And love of man bear.'

 Moths and Butterflies is beauti- full work by Mary c. Dickerson, head of the department of biology and na- ture study in the Rhode Island Normal school, Providence, R. l. It is profuse- ly and charmingly illustrated, a work of S44 pages, and is published by the noted house of Ginn and Company, Boston; list price s1.25, mailing price s14O; for sale also by leading booksel- lers.
 Moths and Butterflies forms an ex- cellent starting point for work in natu- ral history, for 1t deals with insects which are common to all parts of the country and at the same time admira- bly, illustrative of the great principle of adaptation to environment. No- where can one find so broad a field for discovery as in the world of the six footed. for the habits and life histories of many insects are still far from we'll known. The author has recognized the powerful stimulus of original investi- cations and, by practical suggestions, has put the pupil on the right track without depriving him of the pleasure of personal research.
 The various stages in the life of the caterpillar are described at length, and numerous Illustrations of some forty common forms make the task of iden- tification easy. A final chapter on the making of collections contains much useful information.
 Entirely untechnical in treatment, the work is intended to arouse in the reader an interest in insect life. For the accomplishment of this end Miss Dickerson's intimate knowledge of her subject, her entertaining style, and her skill with camera and pencil will prove important factors.
 The book is especially adapted for use in the upper grades of grammar schools and in the lower grades of high schools.
