IA the subject 81 a little volume by Mr.
Thomas = Dale In the FUR. Feathers and
Fin series published by fonRmans, Green
and Company. The author handles his
theme sensibly and attrac,ively: he cannot
avoid the matter Of hunting. hut by putting
strcsa on tbs natural history and on tho
habits ~ the for he succeeds In making
him more interesting than the manner Of
putting him N death. There are plenty
Of stories. many personal observations
and no thought Of didactio instruction.
II IL a school hook for colleges that Mr.,
Hammond Lamont has turned out In Eng
liah Composition Charles Scribner's Sone).
In many respects 10 In excellent. for the
authors pedagogical theories have been
tempered by experience a. o newspaper
editor. We might, therefore. have ex-
pected less reverence for the neo-Harvard
school Of teaching Inc for "argumeuta-
ton taught by rule. The definitions and
statements are admirably clear. 90 that We
regret the condemnation Of important. II
elementary matters, such az the discussion
Of the use Of words. for the sake Of ex-
pounding the differences between forms
of composition. We imagine, no wever,
that here the author Ia trying 10 instruct
the teacher rather than the pupil. We
agree with Mr.. Lamont that the literary
criticism OF sweet sixteen Ia likely to be
rubbish, but we doubt II its discussion of
the tariff or Of vivisection, even from an
elaborate brief, would be moro valuable.
Fish Ia the ~touchstone Of the cooks worth.
It was the failure Of his fish TO arrive in time
that made yatel fall upon his sword. Mr..
Leon Kientz, a New York chef, deals wholly
with this delicate subject, from claims to
shad and trout In The Fish and Oyster
Book" The Hotel Monthly, Chicago.
Here are over 400 recipes that read very
appetizingly and seem TO provide for every
fish that zones into our markets.
II any n imagines that the waitress's
life IL an easy one he should read The Up
U-Qat9 waitress, DV Jhn0t mCheuzte hul
little. Brown and Company. The range Of
duties IL astonishing, extending from clean
ing and laundering to carving, dressing
salads, decorating the table and serving
the wine at the proper temperature. The
accomplishments OF this ideal young woman
will be the despair Of suburban housewives
and may lead to disastrous attempts TO i'm
prove their present help.
1t IL difficult to keep up with the books
on gardening that are appearing, II they
are helping to increase the number Of
gardens they are doing good. and at any
rate they make delightful reading for those
who only wish they could have a garden.
A great deal Of information, helped out
with many pictures, will DO found in Mr..
Cornelius v. V. Sewell's Common Sense
Gardens" rThe Or alton Press, New York;.
II deals with simple and unpretentious
gardens as we'll as with the more formal
ones.
In sRaahi" Che Jewish Publication
Society Of America, PHILADELPHIA, which
has been translated by Adele Sold from
the French Of Maurice Liber, we have not
only the biography Of Rabbi Solomon
Bar Isaac, the twelfth century commentator
on the Bible and the Talmud, but a sum-
mary Of his works and an account Of their
influence on the Jews. The occasion for
the book was the eOoth anniversary OF
Rashi's birth.
