SHARP, D.L. (p. 224)
A Watcher in the Woods.
Illustrated by Bruce Horsfall.
Century. .84
These talks about our small animal neighbors are full of descriptive
interest, and the accompanying black and white illustrations are
beautiful.
Mr. Burroughs says: Of all the nature books of recent years, I look
upon Mr. Sharp's as the best.
VOOGT, GOSEWINUS DE.
Our Domestic Animals.
Translated by Katharine P. Wormeley.
Ginn. 3.50
While this large volume gives much information in regard to the
habits, intelligence, and usefulness, of those animals which have

Round these, with tendrils strong as flesh and blood,
Our pastime and our happiness will grow.
WORDSWORTH.
BULLEN, F.T.
The Cruise of the Cachalot.
Appleton. 1.50
I've never read anything that equals it in its deep-sea (p. 225)

RUDYARD KIPLING.

Sea whaler from the seaman's standpoint.--_Preface._
A strong nor'wester's blowing, Bill!
Hark! don't ye hear it roar now?
Lord help 'em, how I pities them
Unhappy folks on shore now!
WILLIAM PITT.
