    ing ordinary homes both comfortable and attractive will be found . Everybod m y is by mithis

    time aware that Mrs . Panton is an authority on the subject , and she writes not merely with enthusiasm but with abundant common-sense .

    . The advice which is given is the outcome of wide experience and is clear and explicit . Books of this kind are often written in vague

    and general terms , but Mrs . Panton does not despise details , and therefore those who really wish to follow her counsels will not find this

    to be a difficult matter . From Messrs — _ . Macmillan _ — ____ & — Co — . _ — ' Havel — ock . _ , '

    by Archibald Forbes ( ' English Men of Action' ) . Mr . Forbes has accomplished a somewhat difficult task with distinct ability . A life of

    Havelock involves to a great extent a history of the Indian Mutiny , and lays the biographer open 1 to - the temptation 'XT of introducing Cdetails

    of a thrilling character , which , whilst impress-¦ ing widening the reader our , view would fai l to serve w the hom end Lor d

    Hardinge designated * every inch a soldier and every inch a Christian . ' Mr . Forbes has mastered the temptation and gives us a speaking

    I OX . < J portrait of Havelock taken from the events of his career . Summing up the early days of Havelock in half-a-dozen pages , he proceeds

    with his military life , which commenced at the age of twenty , and reviews with skill and a keen perception of soldierly qualities the

    honourable part played by the General in various campaigns until his death occurred soon after the relief of Lucknow .

    From Messrs . Marshall Brothers . —* Hymns of the Gosp J- el' , New and Old' , ' comp Xv iled by F . D .

    Sanford . In cheap form and flexible covers , the words and music of 472 hymns , suitable for evangelistic services , Sunday-schools , and the

    home-circle , are given in this volume . We are glad to find that many well-known old hymns are retained , and that the tunes associated with

    them by long usage are still linked to them in this collection . Many new examples of popular psalmody , which in our judgment are likely to

    receive a wide welcome , are also given , and through the kind permission of English and American authors' , composers X . , and publishers A . ,

    a number of copyright hymns and tunes are included in the work . From National Temperance Publication Depdt .

    * Bible versus Drink , ' by Rev . W . S . Taylor , B . A . A useful pamphlet for temperance reformers . The writer comes to the conclusion
