PUBLICATIONS RECEIVED. 



Our Little Boer Cousin, by Luna May 

 Innis, author of "Our Little Danish 

 Cousin." Illustrated by John Goss. This 

 is one more addition to the "Little 

 Cousin" series of books for young peo- 

 ple, published by the Page Company, 

 Boston. It is a very interesting story, 

 instructively woven around historical 

 facts and there is plenty of life and 

 excitement in it to engross and capti- 

 vate the boy readers. 140 pages and 

 six full-page illustrations, handsomely 

 printed and bound. Price 60 cents, net. 



The Crimson Gondola, by Nathan 

 Gallizier. This is another of the Page 

 Company's sterling publications, first 

 impression September. 1915. It is a 

 romance of Venice and Constantinople 

 at the beginning of the thirteenth 

 century and the weird and nerve-stir- 

 ring scenes so vividly pictured will 

 have a special fascination at the pres- 

 ent time when the peoples and the 

 places which figure in its tales are 

 engaged in a furious death-grapple. 

 The story is replete with tragic inci- 

 dents. Bulgars, Nubians, Greeks, Ven- 

 etians, Armenians, all play their part 

 in this compelling tale of the strife of 

 factions which culminated in the 

 fourth crusade and the Latin conquest 

 of Constantinople — the most romantic 

 city in the world. 450 pages, with four 

 superb colored plates, bound in red and 

 gold, price $1.50, carriage paid.

SCOTCH SOOT 



Where there is a house that is Just 

 full of buds almost ready to show color, 

 nothing will turn better color Into the 

 flowers than a little soot, that can be 

 scattered over the benches before water- 

 ing. The amount applied should not be 

 excessive, as the soot Is very strong 

 and may damage some of the foliage 

 somewhat. Apply just enough to blacken 

 the surface of the soli In the benches, 

 and let It go at that. Better a little 

 oftcner than too much all at once.
