    the translator in his previous book ; and , considering the large amount of attention which is " now devoted to art in needleworkthere can be

    little doubt that the efforts of Mr . , Cole will find many admirers . From even an industrial point of view , the history is of permanent interest .

    by F . A . H . IJyles . It is a pity that this work is so badly printed . The idea of presenting notices of tlie lives of popular contemporary

    poets and extracts from their works is an excellent one , an 4 we have no doubt that thejpresent serial will be a success . The first numfer

    contains five names , those of Sir Edwin Arnold , Miss Burnside , and Mr . G . R . Sims being most familiar .

    From the same— ' A Jubilee Jaunt to Norway , ' by Three Girls , is a pleasantly graphic work on a time-worn subject . To say the least of it , the

    reading of accounts of holiday journeys is not an alluring occupation , whether they refer to jubilees ornot . Three Girlshoweverhave

    given us a bri , ght story of wandering , life , , tinged with thoughtful descriptions of historic and scenic localities .

    From the same . —Mr . Harry Collinerwood ' s story , * The Secret of the Sands , ' which has passed

    into a new edition , deserves its success . As a sea-story of thrilling interest it has few modern equals .
