ok which
should be placed in the hands of every young man and woman. It is a
fearless yet clean-minded study of the development of life and the
relations thereof from the protoplasm to mankind. The work is logical,
instructive, impressive. It should result in the innocence of knowledge,
which is better than the innocence of ignorance. It is a pleasure to see
a woman handling so delicate a topic so well. Miss Morley deserves
thanks for doing it so impeccably. Even a prude can find nothing to carp
at in the valuable little volume.--_Boston Journal._

It is an agreeable and useful little volume, explanatory of the
mysteries of plant and animal life,--such a book as parents will do well
to place in the hands of thoughtful, or, better still, of thoughtless
children.--_Philadelphia Press._

Little Mitchell

THE STORY OF A MOUNTAIN SQUIRREL

_ILLUSTRATED BY BRUCE HORSFALL_

Price $1.25

Miss Morley's own words give the best idea of this most engaging little
book:

"Baby Mitchell was an August squirrel. That is, he was born in the
month of August. His pretty gray mother found a nice hole, high up
in the crotch of a tall chestnut tree, for her babies' nest; and I
know that she lined it with soft fur plucked from her own loving
little breast,--for that is the way the squirrel mothers do.

"This chestnut tree grew on the side of a steep mountain,--none
other than Mount Mitchell, the highest mountain peak in all the
eastern half of the United States. It is in North Carolina, where
there are a great many beautiful mountains, but none of them more
beautiful than Mount Mitchell, with the great forest trees on its
slopes."

FOOTNOTES:

[1] A great deal of confusion exists in many minds as to the
origin of pollen and ovule. There seems to be a general and almost
ineradicable impression that fertilization has something to do in
creating the ovule. This is not so. The ovule is a part of every ovary
just as the pollen is a part of every anther. Each will be produced
whether they ever come together or not; only if they do not come
together, both perish, while if they do, development of the ovule
continues.
