Wide Awake, 1887.

Volumes W and X. 4to, boards, 1.75 a volume—cloth, 2.25.

“The files we have had bound are so popular as to be in danger of being literally read to pieces; and, knowing well that the new ones will meet the same treatment, we earnestly hope that the time will never come when it will be impossible to replace them; for they are a source of too much enjoyment and benefit to our young people to be allowed to get out of print—that would be a great misfortune.”—Extract from letter of the Librarian of the Morse Institute, Natick, Mass., ordering the first nineteen volumes ofWide Awake.One in a dozen families—no, not so many—one in a hundred eats good food. About as many read good books. And yet the proportion of good eating and reading is quite as high in this as in any country. The fact is some good food is a little dry. Good reading is never peppery. We are losing our capacity for enjoyment of both when we crave unwholesome stimulants.Wide Awakeis one of those rare collections varied and bright enough to engage the common reader and good enough to lead the capable reader to higher pleasures and benefits.Volume W contains: a yachting story, by Charles R. Talbot; Peggy and her Family, by Margaret Sidney; Pamela’s Fortune, by Lucy C. Lillie; Pocahontas and Rolfe, by Mrs. Blathwayt; Turkish Childhood, by Hon. S. S. Cox; Some Nantucket Children, by Mrs. Macy; stories of early American warfare; no end of short stories and sketches, poems, engravings, etc.Volume X is equally full and fine. The two volumes make the year. The covers are bright and beautiful.

ByE. E. HaleandSusan Hale, 5 vols., 8vo, boards, each, 1.75; cloth, 2.25.

Book journeys through the several countries with eyes and ears wide open, old eyes and young eyes and ears. The books are full of pictures, and fuller of knowledge not only of what is going on but what has gone on ever since book-making began, and fuller yet of brightness and interest. You see the old as old; but you see it; you see where it was and the marks it left. You see the new with eyes made sharper by knowledge of what has gone in the world.In other words these books amount to something like going through these places with a traveling companion who knows all about them and their histories.They are written and pictured for boys and girls; but there is nothing to hinder the old folks going along. Will you go?Family Flight Around Home.Family Flight over Egypt and Syria.Family Flight Through France, Germany, Norway and Switzerland.Family Flight Through Mexico.Family Flight Through Spain.One of the most effective means of exciting and satisfying zeal for knowledge of the world we have in books.

Bubbling Teapot.

A Wonder Story byLizzie W. Champney.

A discontented little girl is the Bubbling Teapot of a sort of Japanese Arabian Night. She tries a great many kinds of life and concludes that the nicest life, after all, is that of a little American girl. It is a dream-story.

In No-Man’s Land.

A Wonder Story byE. S. Brooks.

A Dream-story as droll as Alice in Wonderland. Not like Alice; and yet can there be two sorts of dream-nonsense so witty and wild, so mixed up and yet not muddy a whit? The plays on nursery rhymes are enough to make the fortune of almost a dull book. And “there isn’t a dull line in it.”

Dilly and the Captain.

By Margaret Sidney.

A bicycle-tricycle story of pioneers and explorers in search of the place where children should be seen and heard too. A very jolly story.

Cats’ Arabian Nights.ByAbby Morton Diaz. 8vo, boards, 1.25.

The wonderful cat story of cat stories told by Pussyanita that saved the lives of all the cats, the funniest, wittiest story that ever was [so says Pussyanita]; and that is why it is wonderful. King Grimalkum must have been a credulous fellow; but nobody blames him for losing his wits to such a teller of cat stories.

Fireside Chronicles, or the Family Story-Teller.ByAbby Morton Diaz.

Fifteen different chronicles, every one of them funnier than the last one; and five times as many pictures of what they’re about. A great deal of wisdom in with the fun.

Real Fairy Folks.

ByLucy Rider Meyer, A.M. Illustrated, 12mo, cloth, $1.50.

A play-excursion into chemistry, none the less serious because it is play, and none the less play because it is serious.We quote from the author’s word to parents: “This book is true to chemical fact and principle. It is an effort to make them love the beautiful science of chemistry and to lift their thoughts to the One who holds in His hand the atoms as securely as He holds the worlds.”Nevertheless it is a book of diversion, a story-book, a fairy story-book. A queer combination, but we believe successful. We much mistake if it is not splendidly successful.

Story Book of Science.

ByLydia Hoyt Farmer. Illustrated, 12mo, cloth, $1.50.

This also is fact and fiction in science; stories made upon what goes on in the world, the scientific and practical world. Glass-making is in it; and silk; a great many insects; snow; wind; the seven modern wonders; birds; animals; tea, coffee, pepper, potatoes; what not? There are subjects enough, and learning enough; and there is fun in finding out how the world is put together.

Look-About Club.

ByMary E. Bamford. 4to, cloth, 1.50.

The Club is a family given to study of animals. Under the guise of play the family learns about spiders and butterflies, chickens and rabbits, fishes and frogs, the folks in the brook, the folks on the ground and the folks in the air, which includes grasshoppers and beetles.There is a great deal to know about our neighbors, worth knowing, too; and the surest way to begin learning is to like it. That is why such books as this are made, to make young people like the beginnings of learning.

She is continually thinking of things that little people are apt to skip; and she keeps her thoughts to herself so wisely and lets them out so in the nick of time, she delights her good papa and mamma in the book and the little girl who reads it. It is a rare book for pleasure and wholesome suggestion.

The little goose don’t know how to get his toes in his mouth!”

Gladys.

A Romance. ByMary G. Darling. 12mo, $1.25.

A story of love—the ever-new old story. The bright and beautiful daughter of a fond old man who has nothing to do but delight in her pleasure, and watch her numerous lovers, spends her first summer after school-days at Bar Harbor. Too good and true to be spoiled by pursuit, she, nevertheless, but slowly learns to distinguish conjugal love. Her fortune takes her more or less blindly through the school of experience—a school that tempers not its exactions.There are interesting stories within the larger story, and interesting fragments of other lives than the two. We part from several of the personages unwillingly.

After School Days.

For a Girl’s Room.

12mo, cloth, 1.00.

A practical help for a girl to surround herself with pleasant things with little expense. The book is mainly filled with ways to exercise taste on waste or picked-up things for use with an eye to decoration as well. A friendly sort of a book to fill odd minutes whether at home or out, for herself or another. By no means on “fancy work”—not all work—ChapterXXIis how to tame birds, andXXVis what to do in emergencies.

Royal Girls.By M. E. W. Sherwood. Ill. Boston: D. Lothrop Company. Price $1.25. One thing readers will learn from this volume by Mrs. Sherwood, and that is that girls who happen to be born princesses are very much like those who are born in ordinary households, and that human nature is pretty much the same in a palace as it is in an American farmhouse. But they will learn, too, that in most royal families the daughters are subjected to a course of discipline and training more severe and exacting than ever fell to the lot of an American girl. They are obliged to study early and late; they must have not only a thorough knowledge of the languages, of music and of court etiquette, but also of the politics of their own and other governments; they must know something of statecraft and of diplomacy, for no princess knows what station she may be some time called on to fill. No American girl need envy them, says Mrs. Sherwood. “They are in chains, all of them. They must be careful what they say, do, think even. With royal girls, what interrupted destinies, what cruel disappointments, what unhappy marriages, what a contrast between the desire and fulfilment do we constantly see.” There are certain things in which Mrs. Sherwood thinks they might serve as models to American girls, with whom she frequently compares them. The volume contains sketches of the royal girls of Italy, of Spain, of Denmark, of Russia, of England and of Germany, and two chapters are devoted to “Carmen Sylva,” the queen of Roumania and the empress of Austria. The author describes very entertainingly the home life of some of these girls, and the rules of etiquette to which they are obliged to conform. The volume is well illustrated with portraits.

What People Live By.By Count Leo Tolstoi. Translated by Mrs. Aline Delano. Boston: D. Lothrop Company. Price $1.00. A remarkable little story by the distinguished Russian writer, Count Tolstoi, has been translated by Mrs. Aline Delano, and cannot fail to impress the reader more strongly than ever with the wonderful power of the author in dealing with religious or psychological subjects. It was written for a distinct purpose; to show, in the words of the title, “What People Live By.” Nothing can be more severely simple than the story, which is thus summed up. “I have learned,” says Tolstoi, “that man lives not by care for himself, but by love.... I know that God has given life to men, and wishes them to live. Now I know another truth: the truth that God does not wish man to live apart; therefore He has not revealed to them what each needs for himself. He wishes them to live together, and therefore reveals to each the others’ wants.” The translation seems to be very close to the original.

Therefore did those ancient warriors
