CHILDREN OF THE EARTH. By A. R. MAC

FARLANE.

A novel by a new, though thoroughly trained writer. The author is already favorably known through short stories in Harper's Weekly and elsewhere, and as a regular writer of literary criticism for The Nation. The story is one of everyday people, swayed by ordinary emotions, with which all indifferent children of the earth" can sympathize; but it is presented with a cle irness and power sure to evoke the sympathy. What "questions are touched upon, are presented in the characers and ac ion, rather by synthesis than by the subtle analysis" of which much of the reading world is becoming tired. The scenes are laid in a manor house on the wild Nova Scotia shore, and in New York society.

WHOM GOD HATH JOINED. By MRS, HOMER
MARTIN. An American novel. The scenes are in New Eng.
land. Montreal, Rome, Hong Kong, London, the Adiron-
dacks and on board ship. The plot is most ingeniously con-

novels of the day. There is a wide range of characters.
"A powerful story .... remarkably spirited and dramatic.

vividly

The characters are firmly and well drawn and impressively realistic. The heroine is finely conceived, and is developed with an artistic skill and discretion that are as genuine as they are uncommon."-Boston Gazette. AFTER HIS KIND. By JOHN COVENTRY. English rural romance with an American hero.

For them [the parents], as well as for librarians and teachers, the book will serve an excellent purpose, for it is by far the best guide that has been printed, and there is nothing in it that is not of excellent and interesting quality."-Boston "Trancript.

"A little manual long needed. A classified list of good books is given, with indications as to the age and sex to which they are best suited. The list is prefaced by hints as to how children should be taught the right use of books, a note on good reading in English and American history for children, and a symposium on children's books, containing interesting extracts from many sources. Miss Hewins may safely be accepted as an authority and guide by parents and buyers of children's books."—Good Literature.
