o children, though I have not seen it for a long time in the hands of any children. It was called The Story without an End. WALTER BESANT. Written by an eminent German philosopher, and translated by Mrs. Sarah Austin for her own daughter, this beautiful tale, with its exquisite language, leads a child into the land of truth and beauty. PEARY, J. (D.). The Snow Baby. Stokes. 1.20 An account of Lieutenant Peary's little daughter, who was born amid the ice and snow of the Polar regions. The book is well illustrated from photographs. SNEDDEN, G. (S.). Docas, the Indian Boy of Santa Clara. Heath. .35 Three phases of Indian life in California, given in the form of a (p. 72) story. The ways and customs of the red man are described as they existed during the early days of this boy, before the coming of the whites. Later Docas had his home at the Mission in the days of Father Junipero Serra, and last of all, an old old man, dwelt, with his children and grandchildren, on a ranch. _NINE YEARS OF AGE_ (p. 73) _Now I like a really good saga, about gods and giants, and the fire kingdoms, and the snow kingdoms, and the Aesir making men and women out of two sticks, and all that._ KINGSLEY. AMUSEMENTS AND HANDICRAFT It is a poor sport that is not worth the candle. HERBERT. CANFIELD, DOROTHY, and Others. What Shall We Do Now? Stokes. 1.50 This book of suggestions for children's games and employments will be a help to the busy mother when her own supply of indoor and outdoor amusements is exhausted. There are directions for five hundred plays and pastimes, including gardening, candy-making, and writing, guessing, and acting, games. BIOGRAPHY, HISTORY, AND GOVERNMENT What we should expect and demand is, that our children should be brought up to regard American principles as matters of course; and their books should take these principles for granted, and illustrate them with all possible interest and power. SAMUEL OSGOOD. ANDREWS, JANE. (p. 74) Ten Boys Who Lived on the Roa
