      _ subjects may be described as domestic and ecclesiastical , and there are devices whieb , when worked outwill form an excuse for wheedling

      money out , of the members of both sexes with a fairly good conscience . Even the unfortunate man of the pen is not forgotten , for one of the

      most magnificent of the illustrations represents a waste-paper basket , the use of which would at least tj give a passing ¦*¦ on glorification to rejuected

      contributions . In all its details the book seems to be singularly clear and complete , and it is a marvellously cheap work .

      From the same . — ' Sea Air and Sea Bathing . ' One of the publishers' 'Long Life Series . ' A very

      practical and useful manual , calculated to put the reader on his guard against what may only too justly be described as the vices of many

      sea-side places , and the misuse of the bathing and other resources which they bring within reach of the holiday-maker . The chapters on

      bathing are especially marked by sound commonsense , and would , if acted upon , save many an unpleasant experience .

      supplying illustrations and prices of the articles , which it recommends , but it teaches economy to the housewife ; instructs mothers as to the

      treatment of their children ; talks to ladies in general on the toilette ; guides novices in the mysteries of etiquette ; supplies a complete handbook to the

      arts of needlework , dressmaking , millinery , and art-work ; and tells people how to spend their leisure hours . Such a book can truly be said to

      give the ' multum in parvo , ' and its index will at once show what an extensive field ia travelled over in its pages . There are not only many
