 One of the chief attractions in the line of books about animals this sea- son, and one of the best animal stories ever written, is Charles G. D. Roberts Red Fox (L. c. Page and Company a sympathetic narrative of the life of an altogether lovable specimen of the Reynard family. It is undoubtedly also true to nature as regards the hab- its and characteristics of Reynard. From babyhood to maturity, through the experience natural in a farming country with its two or three hunting dogs; through engagements with wild creatures, from eagles to porcupines, the author takes him, and at last shows him hunting country, teaches him the nature of foxhound, and lets him make his way to future peace and plenty. This particular fox is Cana dian one, whose home is the back woods in Eastern Canada. The book starts with a description of fox and his mate, and the litter of baby foxes. It tells of the old fox trying to outwit dog and hunter in his endeavor to lead them far from his den where were the mother and the young ones and losing his life in the attempt. He was successful in saving his offspring, how ever, and the story then picks out the most likely little cub, the brightest, largest and most cunning, and carries him as the "hero' throughout the work.
 The author has put into the story 8 wonderful lot of information both about foxes and the other wild four footed creatures of the Canadian for ests; also about the songsters and the birds of prey with all of which the red fox of the story has his experience.
 The book is beautifully illustrated and to the full-page pictures in his best style Mir. Charles Livingston Bull has added some in color, and also a great number of small pen-and-tnk drawings, and he has placed the red fox himself on the cover. Price $1.50; for sale by the Edward Malley Com- pany.
 "The Minute Boys of the Mohawk Valley" by James Otis, author of Minute Boys of the Green Moun- tains,' etc. A new volume in the Min ute Boy series. A splendid historical story for boys, full of interest and eX- citement. It is founded closely on fact. The scene is laid in the Mohawk Valley province of New York, and the narrative opens in 1777, when Joseph Brant, chief of the Mohawk tribe, en- tered New York from Canada with large force of Indians. These savages, under the leadership of a well-known Tory, made murderous raids upon the homes of patriot settlers. The prtnei- pal characters are the two sturdy boys, Noel Campbell and his friend and com rade, Jacob Sitz, whose father had been murdered by Indians in the pay of the British. To these young heroes should be added the grand old soldier, Sergeant Corney, woodsman, fighter and homely philosopher, who organ ized the company of Minute Boys, and led them into dangerous and useful service. This Is one of the most thrill- ing and instructive tales which has ever come from the pen of MT. Otis, IA Ira Co 1F ;Yac4 vaf and wide success. Illustrated by A. Burnham Shute Cloth, 12mo. Price SIPS. Dana Estes and Company, Bos- ton.
 Who does not make errors in every day speech? As a matter of fact it is very unusual to find any person whose use of the English language is abso- lutely correct. The following are eX- amples of some very frequent errors of faulty expressions often heard:
 Let you and I go''-should be*''you and me"
 II am as good as her'-should be "as she. 4i
 You are younger than me" should < be than l."
 "Come to dinner with John and P'- should be John and me"
 Between you and I"-should be, you and me-"
 ''W:here are you going? Who? Me?" ,--should be "Who I?'
 ''Who do you see?"-should be ''whom."
 If I was her"-should be "If were she.'
 twas it him?'-should be Was it he?"
 "who was it by?"-should be ''whcm."
 These examples of Faulty Diction" are so common that many people look upon the improper form as being the correct one, and Thomas H. Russell, NJ. IL. B., editor-in-chief of Webster's Imperial Dictionary, has done the pub lie d great service in having written the new book, entitled Faulty Diction, Or Errors in the Use of the English Language and How to Correct Them" which the publishers have by print ing it on thin Bible paper, succeeded in getting into what may be called Vest Pocket size
