THE POPULAR SCIENCE MONTHLY. 



ceeding chapters are described the civil-ser- 

 vice aud similar stores, the cooperative in- 

 surance societies, the provident dispensaries, 

 and the people's banks. The scope of the 

 work is not, however, limited to the consid- 

 eration of schemes of cooperation that have 

 succeeded. Attention is also given to those 

 that have failed, particularly in the United 

 States, and the attempt has been made to 

 examine and analyze the causes that have 

 conduced to failure. 



CoNTRinUTIOXS TO THE AnaTOMY OF THE 



Milk-Wked Butterfly, Danais Archip- 

 pus {Fahr.). By Edward Burgess, Sec- 

 retary of the Boston Society of Natural 

 History. Boston : Published by the So- 

 ciety. Pp. 16, with Two Plates. 



This monograph is intended to serve as 

 a guide to the general study of the struct- 

 ure of the Lepidoptera. The particular 

 species is chosen as a type of the order well 

 adapted to the purpose, on account of its 

 large size, common occurrence, and wide 

 distribution, and partly because the anat- 

 omy of no species of Banaidce has yet been 

 studied. 



Locke's Conduct of the Understanding. 

 Edited, with Introduction, Notes, etc., 

 by Thomas Fowler, M. A. Oxford : The 

 Clarendon Press. Pp. 136. Price, 50 

 cents. 



Although this fragment is not finished, 

 but was written and left only as a rough 

 draught of a chapter which the author in- 

 tended to complete and add to its essay, it 

 has been regarded, even in its crude shape, 

 as one of the most valuable aids to self- 

 culture. Professor Fowler has endeavored 

 to make it more generally useful by means 

 of added notes and suggestions, without 

 changing the text.

 dress OF THE Pl'.ESIDENT, RcV. FREDERICK

 dletown, Connecticut. Pp. 19.

PtAILROADS AND TELEGRAPHS : "WhO SHALL 



CONTROL Them ? By F. H. Giddings. 

 Springfield, Massachusetts : '* The Manu- 

 facturer and Industrial Gazette." Pp. 12. 



The author recognizes the wickedness of 

 monopolies and the abuses they engender, 

 but holds that the remedy is not to be 

 found in State possession or control of 

 railroads and telegraphs. Any close regu- 

 lation or supervision by the State would ag- 

 gravate the evils and increase the number 

 and power of rings. The people who use 

 the lines should take the control into their 

 own hands by becoming stockholders and 

 attending to the management of them. 



The Diet - Cure ; the Relations of Food 

 and Drink to Health, Disease, and 

 Cure. By T. L. Nichols, M. D. New 

 York : M. L. Holbrook & Co. Pp. 83. 

 Price, 50 cents. 



This book teaches that pure food makes 

 pure blood, and pure blood builds up a 

 healthy body. The author believes that it 

 is needed, notwithstanding all that has been 

 written on the subject, because " there are 

 still people who eat and drink more than is 

 good for them, as well as what is bad for 

 them."
