All later writers on Madagascar acknowledge themselves indebted to this journal.

A love-story, with the scene laid upon a desert isle in the tropics. The hero is an American and a young newspaper man, who finds himself, through a trick played upon him by a rival, stranded in London with but a few dolars in his pocket.

The story begins in Thomas Beverley's stately London mansion in 1691. In the form of fiction the reasons are given for the emigration of the chief actors to America. Some of the horrors of the tortures of the supposed witches are softened. But enough details are given to paint a vivid picture of those troublous times. Romance is skilfully introduced, and Cupid has his hands full at many points of the tale. Martha Corey is a most lovable character, who proves a blessing to her friends.

After many disagreeable things occur to give her a distaste for her life, she finds consolation in marriage.

Changing base," published twenty years ago by Lee
& Shepard, told what Edward Rice learned at school.
The present story tells what his lovable son Joe learned
at school, at home and at play, and introduces a sweet

selfishness summed up in the title. Mr. Everett's long
experience as a teacher enables him to make every-day
school events full of life and often of amusement. The
author wishes to combat the idea that indulgence and ab-
sence of restraint promote a boy's happiness,
