added eo- other to the list of ber charming tales of that picturesque region.\u201cThe Amulet,\u2019 by Chases Egbert Cmadock (The Mac Millen Co., price $149), tells of the Life of & frontier British post, Fort Prines George, in the yesrs immediately following the downfall of the French power lu America.The orderly military life, even at the farthest outpost of civilisation, and the difboulties of dealing with the subdued but disaffected Indians, are vig: orously portrayed.The love of the mountains appears in many exquisite bits of description.The free breath of the wilderaces in \u201cThe Amulet,\u2019 is s great to the London society stwmo- Sn \u2018The Wages of Pleasure,\u2019 by J/] A.Bteuart (liodder & Stoughton, pres $100), The title indicates the trend of ths etery\u2014the forbidden pleasures of \u2018the smarl vet, particularly gambing at bridgi, produce the ususl beartbwrming end misery, debt and didbowor.With his usual dramatic power and keen poy.eholggical insight,, the suthor traces the conneotién between the ein and the suffering.Where the conscience ig tender this is the abief instrument of punishment; with more hardened sinners the wages ave paid by outside agencies.The chief interest of the story lies im the study of motive and conscience, the plot is somewhat loosely constructed, and some of the charsciers are rather to be described ae caricatures.With very different gircumstances ad surroundings is the same grest priseipie worked out in \u2018The Underttow,' by Bob- ert E.Knowles (Fleming H.Revell Ce.price $1.50).The truth of the law of rature that \u2018as a man soweth, so shall he also reap,\u201d is proved im bitter experience by the hero, the brilliant and popular young preacher.The plot moves rapidly.bringing the kere into contact with many and varied experiences before his chastoniag is complete nnd his quiet be- ven is at lest reached.The scene 1» laid pertiy in Canada and partiy in the old world.A Catholic priest und General Booth are made to contribute bits of wit and wisdom.The hero is a signal example of the kind of people who are educated, but not traimed, and carries sll his mowey in bis wallet when abroad.\u201cThe Hills of Home,\u2019 by Normen Mac- Lean (Hodder & Stoughton), 18 à Fresh telling of am oft-told tale, the fight of \u2018the Young Pretender.\u201d The incidents may be paralleled many times in the rec- urde of the ead daye after Culloden.The \u2018Wanderer, husted from hill to hill and rave to cave, is ever in Abe eyes of tbe faithéul \u201cthe Prince,\u2019 and meets with a reverence and devotion untouched by greed for the price on bis head.He himeetf appears at his best when among those who are giving or risking their all for him.The difficulties of the Prines\u2019s position at the time of his last fortorn hope; the pride of the mountaineers, their jealousy and disunion, the constant fear of treachery, as well as the physical hardships he had constastly to endure, all are dwelt on in extenuation of the unhappy fall of the national idol.Lo the descendants of those who were with V'tince Charlie \u2018in the heather,\u2019 \"Ihe Hills of Home\u2019 will not fail to bring a thrill of both pride and regret.The present parliamentary crisig in Xugland lends the interest of timeliness to a story of that other period of even greater upheaval, the time of the Reform M:ll of 1882.Chippinge Horough,\u2019 by stanley J.Weyman (The Macmillan Co, of Canada, price $1.30), pictures in vind colors the excitement subsequent to the passing of \u2018the bill\u2019 by the House of Commons.City and country alike shared in the enthusiasm of its supporters and the fury of its opponents.The hero comes in contact with the excitement first in the neighborhood of Westminster, them in a keenly contested election in the \u2018rot.tea borough\u2019 of Chippinge, where reform finally carries the day, and lastly in the sulmipation of the populsr frensy ia the British riots.The quaint and curious customs and fashions of the time live anew in the animated descriptions and incidents of the story.We have glimpses of men whose pamies are now almost forgotten, but then were on every lip, motably Lord Brougham, \u2018the spirit of the storm,\u2019 old \u2018Wicked Bhilts,\u2019 as his enemies called bim, the leader and main- apring of the Reform movement, and Sir Charles Wethereli, the most hated and caricatured man of his time in England, yet one whom all respected as honest im bis opposition to change, The whole is woven with a golden thread of romance running through it to brighten the tabrie, which might otherwise have & somewhat sober hue.CHILDREN'S BOOKS, The season offers nome gnod booka for the little ones.\u2018Fatber Tuck'e Annual\u201d (Rapheel, Tuek & Co), twice ne large this yest as formerly, is full of rhymes, pictures and (airy tales, of :he kind de lightful to children between Gre and ten \u2018 Kept Mouming every other misute.The epobu was like a fork with blades, And always set the fensiers equesling: The diuner carried in the maids, And served itssll upon the selling.\u2018The Wonder Children,\u201d by Charles J.Bellamy (Muemillan, Toronto.$1.80), is aloo a fairy book suited to \u201cbildren under ten, and containe nine stories of à simple but very attractive kind, most of there conveving effective moral lessons.One is a case of \u2018thres wishes,\u2019 and Frank wishes to be Chariey, because Charley lives in a fime house.But he finds the tieh boy's lot a tedious ome and wishes to be Sammy, because Sammy hss such a good time playing roughly on the street.When the ragged bog\u2019s Jot does mot suit him either, he wisely uses his lest wish and turns into Frank again.The Rev.A.J.Church dedicates his besutiful beok, \u2018The Odyssey for Boys and Girls\u2019 (Maomilisa Company, Toten to, $1.80), to \u2018Maisie, aged five,\u2019 but this is perhaps unfortunate for children up to thirtesm will enjoy it, if they have suflieiont literary taste.The twelve col ored illustrations are drawn in the style of Greek fresco art.\u2018The nacratives pre aurve to a great extemt the simplieity of the classical original, and there is eo frecination in the wording.whieh will be realited quite ss rauch by older read- ore 46 by the young.Up to twelve or thirteen, tog, \u201cThe Railway Children,\u2019 by E.Nesbit (Mee millan Company, Toronto, $1.50), ought to give satisfaction.It is #0 humerous and true to child life, while some pathetic scenes give the depth sad character that ie necessary in most cases to make children love a bogk well.Running wild for à summer in the country, & bey and two girls save a nilway train.ne cue a baby from a burning cond! boat, and accomplish other worthy deeds, al most a8 an secidental secompaniment to their play.They are thoroughly child- .like, bit always brave enough to rme to an emergency, and the good fuck that attends their doings is as constant se cer a child reader could require.\u2018One of Clive\u2019s heroes,\u201d ty Herbert Rtrung (Hodder & Stoughton, eix shillings), is a historical romance for boys, desling with the Indisn Mutiny.There is & generous supply of incident in the fcur hundred peges of this book, snd the local color seems to be well studied.Mr.Strang has written seversi other boys\u2019 benke and fs considered by many te excel even the lamented Henty.\u2018Billy Topsail,\u2019 by Norman Duncan (Revell, Toronto, $1.50}, is the story of a Newfoundland boy and his adventures.\u201cAN Newfoundland boys have adventures,\u2019 the author says, \u2018but not ali Newfoundland boys survive them.\u2019 There are thirty- eight chapters and twelve good pictures, full of ice and sea and sen crestures.\u201cThe Carroll Girls,\u201d by Mabel Quilfer Couch (Hodder & Stoughton, five shilling») is a bright story of four rather ne.Glected girla under fourteen, and how they grew during a year spent with a kind relative in the country.Girls will recognize the naturalness of the little trial and difficulties encountered by theses children, as well as the pleasures and victories that helped to change them into useful, promising young peopls.\u2018Merrylips,\u2019 by Beuinh Marie Dix, (Macmillan Co, Toronto, 8150), in a very charming story of a little girl who wanted to be a boy.The ene is the English civil war, and the exigenctes cf the times caused her for seme months 10 be dressed ss n boy and go through à boy'a adventure.It ie eufficiently well written to please a grown person, and will perhape please girls in their tesms even better than younger ones.It is often difficult to And resding at once attrackive and suitable for girls who have just outgrown the books of childhood.\u2018The Story Book Girls, by Obristina Gowans White, (Macmillan Co., Toronto, $1.50), has just the right amount of grown-up-ness.It is youthful and yet judicious im tome, beginning with schoolgirl frolics end ending with happy marriages.It gives a good picture of modern English life ia + ra ther old-fashioned community, Girls may aloo like for Sunday read- ins \u2018Miss Lavender's Boy,\u2019 à collection of pretty little

College, South Carolina, UN.A, advisce that an allowance of one pour d per fifty-six pound box of butter be inade lor shrinkage.A Petone correspondent journa), who received = copy of tue work through the \u2018Canadian iry- men\u2019 Publishing Company, of Toronto, noticing the recommendation, which was that the butter in the boxes should be \u2018turned down to a weight of Bity-seven pounds, so an to allow one for shrinkage,\u2019 wrote to the author for an explanation.Professor Michuis (our correspondent informs us), replied as follows: \u2018In relation to the statement in my beok as to allowing one pound for shrinkage in the lifty-six pound foreign trade packages, will say that this amount is allowed for the reason that packages are doubt a SE eu et pes which is in the packa irec from a salt brine bath.This, of course, icaves it quite wet, which, together with the saturated salt placed on top of the parchment, will cause a greater shrinkage 10 weight than you find in the New Zealand im \u2018which the parchment, as 1 understand, is placed dry.I may say in this connection, however, that in our domentic trade, butter ked in six- ty-pound tubs we usually allow only half- a pound in shrinkage, but this butter is cked in tube which sre only winaly ined, and there is not pearly a m chance for shrinkage in weight owing to the fact that the butter is consumed shortly after manufacturing.\u2019 \u2014 WINTER DAIRYING \u201c Pro\u2019 æsor Carson, of the Manitoba Ag- ricuitural College, thinks that he notes a tendency of farmers in some districts at least to breed their cows so that they will calve in late fall and early winter, There are the best of reasons for such & course.When thus bred the cows will be dry during the rush season oi harvest.nd a good herd of cows milking through the winter gives om- ployment to extra lubor during this seu- aon, and justifies the hiring of help by the year: it should go far toward lesscn- ing the anxiety and trouble of securing men for à month or two in the summer to help take off the harvest.And still further, when we note the prices paid for dairy products, the using up of some of the rough feed and low-priced convse ins of the farm in the manufactur: of igh-priced milk, cream sud butter, up peals to on: as being & good jnces policy.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 BLANKETING COWS During the last couple of years a good many dairymen in Australia have adopt ed the practice of blanketing their cows during wet and cold weather; aud the resulta\u2019in every case are spoken of as being bighly satisfactory, When cows are kept warm, the fod they coneume, 1n- stead of being utilized to maintam bod- ly beat, is largely devoted to thie production of milk; and in this way the driry- man realizes a large profit on the very small outlay required to provide blankets fur his cattle in cold weather.Men who have studied the subject closely my that the effect of covers on cuww is very remarkable.The quiet cows cwome more quiet anv?contented, while those that are shy or nervous have tbeir uerves soothed, and submit to being han.died without fear.This is po fad of ote er two men, but has become so common that manufacturers have placed sever! kinds of blankets, as coverings, on the market with a view to supplying the de mand that has arisen.It 16 said, however, that a home-made blanket, made from old wheat bags serves the purpose as well as anything.After they have an worn or & short time, they become thoroughly waterproof.\u2014 WAYS TC SAVE PASTURES Our pastures are often considered the t least productive of our

shelter the implements of every-day nse.as waggons, manure spreader, etc., it should be as near as possible to the place where the unbitching is done, as « man is very apt to yield to the temptation of leaving a machine out of doors when he must go far out of his way to put it into a shed.Another convenience on ground inclining shed, and in this way ie to have it built slightly toward the

machinery into a shed with horses reslizes that there 1 more or less liability to accidents in placing vehicles or machinery in a shed by home power, especially if the building is well filled with machinery.It should be at least 16 feet wide to socommodate waggons and manure spreaders, and even thes a portion of the tongues must be on the outside, proved and that we suffer mueh from mismanagement along this line.Who would think of working a horse until be had scarcely vitality to maintain life, yet we often treat our pastures in this way, feeding them so close that they are of covering through the winter.Keep stock off in the spring until the plant is well started.- Take them off in the fall sad leap some protection for the winter.Bee that all parts of the pasture are covered with grass, and that this grass »e adapted to ite particular soil and ioca- tien, that its poorer parts are tertized, and that its wet parts are thoroughly drained.Then we will more nearly come up to our possibilities in the production of grass.A WELCOME QIFT A boy who does a little carpentering on his own account can make a number of presents whic will give immense delight to others,

+ Wali etreet is marking time, but it ts only under compulsion, and to make the restraint ali the more irkeome, London has at long last shown a disposition to throw off the anti ulative mood and again grapple wit portunity.Vi London fully [Appreciative of American wecurities, confident that the underlying conditions (hat make for Induetcial pros- ity are beyond attack for at least anne year in the United States and Canada, # is not at all surprising that, un- dor the easier monetary conditions ruling is Greet Britain since the aix percent Bank of land rate was put into force, there is « desire to get into Americans son the ground floor\u201d London is generally a winner in operations in Amen.can securities, although by no means always.Some years ago, for instance, fortunes were dropped in Enes.kng- nd.however, has the reputation of be- eng in the happy position of buring low and selling bigh.and practically every year of late, when a boom bas run its course, our emart cousing across the border suddenly awake to the dehghtful feel img that they are themselves carrying the stocks that London holders bad previous ly beld.Perkaps the reason far this is on account of Tondon being so inti taately in touch with international polities, and that it has, perhaps, on the whole, a keener regard for merit in stock than has the impulsive and reck- New York operator.This week Wal Street call money bas again been doing lhe highly eensationsl wire-rope act, alternating ween the tight rope and the slack rope with such rapidity that the financial onlookers have become more and more im| th the necce- sity of having a protective net to prevent an expecied collapse.Like the circus \u2018stunts,\u2019 there is not a little of trick- erv in this tiresome money question.lt has been shown that three well-known banks in New York purposely withdrew money from the market with the direct object of stimulating demand and lending the money later in the day on preity much thelr own terms.\u201cCurrency re form' must be endoreed br the people, but there will be considersble opposition to the reforms now posed if such methods are used to \u2018force\u2019 the hand of the Treasury Department.The local market is under a cloud.\u2018There are a number of unfsverable factors in the situation that have affected sentiment, although these same influence bave only material connections with à very emall percentage of the total list of securities here.Still the ones most concerned are fecognized the natural leaders ia speculative activities, and any adverse or beariah tendencies will invariably reflect upon the whole market.Mont: veal Street as a market leader, or even ae an active stock, has not yet recovered from the recent hammering.Montreal Power is uncertain, and therefore epae- modic, relying on scraps of news that come occasionally from a City Hall direc tion.The lron stocks, notwithstanding the liberal bounty treatment, bave been depressed, and the promising outlook in hat respect rather upset, for some time at least, The Coal stocks suffer in much the mune way.Both companies have litigation staring them in the face, and no one can predict where the expenses will fall or end.There is also the recent Detroit United franchise defeat, and the reported agitation in other cities for re duced fares, On the other band, earnings of practically every industrial and raiiway amd electric system are being maintained and increases registered that will indicate some favorable dividend : changes during the coming year.The country has not yet begun to fect the benefits of a record cereal production.anil, above all, notwithstanding the great extension of credit throughout our country, thers was never a better time for collection than now.Bankers report a} really exceptional situation in that re, spect, which all spells further and abundant prosperity for alNunds of stock cor- porstions.The real feature of the neck was the continuation in the Canadian!
