trees, flowers, and insects. "Wabeno the Magician" is the embodiment of natural law and growth, the force which informs the maize fields and the vines, teaches the leaves when to bud and when to fall, and the frost how to prepare the ground for the sunshine. Mrs. Wright's attitude toward Nature is a little sentimental; otherwise, there is much in her books that is helpful, as well as tender and beautiful. [The Macmillan Co. $1.50.]

The Boys and Girls of Brantham, by Evelyn Raymond, is a story of school life under the principle of co-education. Boys and girls, or perhaps we ought to say young men and young women, are mixed up together in the experiences

of school life, both of work and recreation. We are not clear as to the refined and refining quality of the book. The conversation, to be specific, is pitched on a key a little below what it ought to be. [Little, Brown & Co. $1.50.]

Prefaced by a somewhat ponderous "Introduction " by Chauncey M. Depew, these little tales, by Mrs. Ballington Booth, are of the highest and most delicate order. They concern very young children, just beyond the babyhood stage, and their relation to birds, insects, and butterflies. The stories have, very naturally, a babies are full of apposite texts; but the genustrong religious bias, and the mouths of the ine motherly tenderness and insight of the author gives them value, and other people's little ones will like as much as her own must have done, to have Mrs. Booth "put her thinks hyphened, that younger readers can read it for themselves.

Nannie's Happy Childhood.

The young readers of this story by Mrs. Caroline Leslie Field will find themselves at the out

set in a home of refinement, and in the sweet atmosphere of kindly feeling and gentle bringing up. The little girl, Nannie, whose acquaintance they will make, is a child with "a grand, good gift," as her grandfather expresses it, that of alLaura E. Richards always writes such bright, ways seeing "the best in everybody and every pleasant stories for children, with just enough thing; call it fairies or what you like." Her and none too much moral concealed in them, friends were the "Beautiful Princess" who that one can always freely give her books to taught her geography; the "good old queen" boys and girls, sure that they will learn only and "good old king" (her grandparents), and wise lessons from them.

Wee Lucy's Secret.

That favorite story-teller for very little folks, Sophie May, seems to have inexhaustible resources. She is still engaged on the doings of little Prudy's children, and brings on the scene the young Californians who have figured in some of her later books. Needless to say that the mammas and grandparents, the aunts and small folks, the dolls and pets are all made delightful, and that the story is a good one for young

Webster's Dictionary the Great, in its latest and completest form, is an "International Dictionary," as it ought to be, in full sympathy with the laws, the lines, and the impulses of expansion, and truly "imperial" in its dimensions and aspects. they ought to know that in this, its latest The publishers say - and labor that was expended on its first form, but it form, it represents fifty times the amount of does not cost anywhere near fifty times as much, which is good news for searchers after effective mental, by any means, but its value lies in the holiday presents.

NEWS AND NOTES.

-It is simply and utterly impossible, and that for mere physical reasons, to include all the publications intended for the coming holiday season in this "Holiday Number" of the LITERARY WORLD. Inexorable conditions of space and time prevent it. The best we can do is to present a representative survey, and that must be more or less imperfect and unsatisfactory both in extent and treatment. Of some publishers, as for example, R. H. Russell and the Penn Publishing Co., no issues whatever have reached us up to the present writing; many other promised publications are delayed; and of the hundreds already in band, notices of a large number must of necessity await their turn.

- It will be evident from even a cursory examination of the present number that "militar

Pierson, is already well known for her work in the same line, Among the Forest People and Among the Meadow People. In the present work she surpasses herself, and comes even nearer to her little readers. What child from six to twelve years of age can fail to be charmed with "the duckling who did not know what to do," "the kitten who lost herself," and all the doings and sayings of the blind horse, the turkey gobbler, the wise oxen, and the rest? What pleasure to find this book among the holiday gifts? The style is just what it should be; the bits of advice are neatly tucked into the story, and the pictures, by F. C. Gordon, are fine, real

Dicky Downy.

In this autobiography of a bird Mrs. Virginia Sharpe Patterson protests feelingly against the use of birds for millinery purposes or in any form for personal decoration—and great is the shame that there should be need for such protest, or for any plea against slaughtering innocent feathered creatures. She puts what she has to say into the form of little experiences and observations as known and witnessed by a cap. tive bobolink. These stories will appeal to children to some purpose; and it is to the chil

particularly those who have written for boys, have been possessed by the martial spirit, and given themselves up to depicting the attractions of the tented field, the armored deck, and the day of battle. This is natural, but is none the less to be regretted. Perhaps it was not to be avoided. But we hope the craze is over, and that with another year there may be a return to a class of topics which may be equally attractive when well handled, and which may lead the minds of boys in different directions. The day for glorifying the iniquities and horrors of war is passing, if not passed, Governor Roosevelt to the contrary, notwithstanding.

- The Bowen-Merrill Company announce that the October demand for When Knighthood Was in Flower exceeded one thousand copies a day, and it has become necessary to make a duplicate set of plates and set an additional bindery at work to meet the demand.

-Houghton, Mifflin & Co. have about ready The Life of Charles Francis Adams; a second volume of the Letters to Washington, edited by Mr. Hamilton; a reprint of Susan Lesley's Rec ollections of My Mother; A Ten Years' War, by Mr. Riis, the subject of which is decent living in tenement houses; A Young Savage, by Barbara Yechton; and a translation of Michelangelo's Sonnets, by W.
