Co., 200 Summer street. Price, go
cents.
"Our Little Scotch Cousin" is one of
Page * Co.'S admirable Little Cousin
Series, most OF them by Mary Hamilton
Wade, which portray childish types of
different nationalities. In "Our Little
Scotch COUSIN" is given a pleasing dis
coune about two little Scotch laddies
and two little Scotch lassies of good tami-
lies living in and about Edinburgh Very
nice little people they are, and very enter
tanning is the story OF their doings, and
the interesting places they visit Incl
denially we have some attractive pictures
OF old and new Edinburgh, OF Glasgow
OF Abbottsiord and Mefose Abbey. of
Ayr and Bannockbum and HoiyTood
Castle. There are references TO Robert
Burns and Walter Scott to Robert Bruce
and Mary, Queen of Scots and to other
historic pcrsonages Of Old Scotia.
These young people have fine times,
and being well disposed and Wen bred
the things they do and the things they
say are highly attractive. The story Is
especially interesting to children, of
course, but grown people will not find
1t dull reading, by any means.

an the stories are rich in humor, and

Fights are frequent, and occasionally a

which are set forth in the graphic and
Interesting style that has impaired such
agreeable flavor to Capt Hains' stories of

For such a voyage as the Arrow had

victs from English prisons bound for a
penal settlement, who had captured and
burned the convict ship on which they
were being transported, and seized the

MANY RARE AND
COSTLY ANIMALS

The rarest collection Of wild
animals in America is exhibited in
the menagerie department of the
Adam Forepaugh and Sells Bros
colossal shows. Ten young polar
bears, two huge African elephants
with enormous tusks and umbrella
shaped ears, and an appalling man
like chipanzee, a ferocious bi-horned
rhinoceros, a giant, blood-exuding
tapir, horner horse,
superb Bengal tigers and a nursery
of kittens and cub jungle creatures
are in this unique and priceless
inenagerie. The animal specimens
are perfect physical typcsand repre-
sent years Of labor in their gather
ing and an investment of fabulous
sums of money. All the strange
beasts Of the jungle that are rarely
met with by explorers are to be seen
in this collection. There are twenty
performing elephants that do most
unnatural and wonderful tricks. The
bulky beasts move about with aston
ishing speed and take their cues for
the different turns without the
slightest hesitancy. The giant fell
lows 90 through changing figures Of
dance with light and graceful steps
and sway their huge bodies with the
rhythmic sympathy and enjoying
spirit Of accomplished human nat
ture. They even go through with
the broad humorous features Of a
farcical skit and provoke heartiest
laughter by their unctuous treatment
Of the comical incidents. Captain
IWebb's two groups of performing
seals are another illustration of
amazing animal intelligence. These
odd creatures have been taught by
their patient instructor. Captain

things, at the word of command.
They play musical instruments,
