 Mothers with little children will read with interest Problems of Babyhood," !"
 by Rachel Kent Fitz and George Wells
 Fftz. The book is divided into two
 parts, viz; Building of Constitution and Forming of Character.
 In the first part some startling new theories,--or new to some of us perhaps
 along fresh air lines, are brought for- ward which are worthy of considera- tion by parents who desire to take steps that will lead to hearty, healthy childhood
 In part second, Forming of Charac- ter, every word of direction and advice IS so convincingly sensible that after reading, one could we'll wish that all the mothers in the land could read and would heed the suggestion of the wri- ters. The book is published by Henry Holt and Company, New York, and finely illustrated by Edward A. Bell.
 One of the fresh air propositions-the window box for babies-presented by the author with convincing words. but which is novel to many is indicated in the following:
 After three hours sleep in an out side window-box in zero weather a. six months baby properly protected will come in with glowing cheeks and body radiating warmth" T have seen a child" further writes this editorial pair, refuse to sleep in room with a temperature of sixty-fve degrees Fah- renheit, tossing to and fro upon his bed, and I have seen the same child when taken up and put into a window box, the awnings of which were thrashed by driving sleet, fall immedi- ately into restful sleep, which lasted for three hours.'
 As has been we'll said: Nobody will deny that plenty of fresh air is good for baby but the mother dwelling in a sixth story flat must have nerves more quiet than is common if she can follow the injunction to put her baby in wooden box outside the window on a stormy night, pull down the curtain and calmly entertain her company"
 The combination of the useful yet spirited text of Dr. and Mrs. Geor. .ge Wells Fitz's Problems of Babyhood" with the highly effective child illustla- tions of Edward A. Bell, seems to have proved very attractive to the | public, as within a fortnight of the | book, Messrs. Henry Holt and Compa- ny are having to put 1t to press again.
 The Count at Harvard: Being an Account of Young Gentleman of Fashion at Harvard" by Rupert Sar- gent Holland N. c. Page .& Col, is a ! very entertaining story and is an expo sition of average student life, full of adventures and exploits. The count Is a talkative parsonage and tells his sto- ry in amusing fashion, The book has already awakened much interest and 1t is handsomely issued by the publishers. Speaking of the advent at Harvard of the French academician who is to ad- dress the Cerce Franchise and of what kind of an audience he may expect, the count renlarks
 First you will see a great many im- portant ushers in gaudy badges, who will make much noise and get in every- body's way. I know because I have been an usher. Then there will be a score of men who will go because they really care for French and don't mind being considered grinds, and a score of others who will go because they have nothing else to do, and after that will come the Deluge,"
 The Deluge queried monsieur. There will be half the fair sex of Boston and vicinity as the papers say, and all of Radcliffe college some with lorgnettes, and some with eyeglasses, and some with only their own beautiful eyelashes, and they will all nod and smile and applaud in unison at the most ! moments and think e great deal about 'L'Homme Idealis- Lique,' and you as its representative, and their neighbors' gowns. I have been there, announced the count, "and know just how the precious thing is ione.n Price $1.OS; for sale by the Edward Maley company.
