OUR WINTER BIRDS, By Frank M. Chapman 



Mr. Chapman's reputation amongst ornithologists is a guarantee that 

 any book which he writes will be scientifically accurate and worthy of the 

 attention of bird lovers. This book treats briefly of the well-known methods 

 for feeding and sheltering winter birds. It also describes and notes the 

 habits of each permanent winter visitant which is likely to be seen during the 

 winter months. There are tiny colored pictures drawn to scale of all these 

 birds and nineteen line drawings. The book is an excellent little reference 

 book for winter use. It costs 60 cents and is published by D. Appleton & Co. 



THE WHY-SO STORIES, By Edwin Gile Rich 



This is a handsome volume, primarily of interest to children, but also 

 worthy of the attention of all grown-ups interested in the folk-lore of bird 

 and animal life. Most of the material is drawn from the folk tales of the 

 American Indians, although Greek mythology and other European sources 

 are drawn upon. The tales are entertaining as well as instructive. In them 

 you learn why the tale-bearers became magpies, chattering still, how the 

 pelican came to be and why he has his pouch, you read of the great ball 

 game in which the bat got his leather wing, and you learn of the shameful 

 mendacity and astonishing devotion of the chicken hawk which resulted in 

 his having such meatless shins. There are sixty-six stories in all, ten illus- 

 trations in line and color are charmingly done by Charles Copeland. The 

 price of the book is $1.25 and it is published by Small, Maynard & Co.
