A Big Cut. 



The chief topic in the ina^^azine world fhinn.tj^ 

 this warm weather is the strong bid that 

 Current Literature is making for circulation. 

 The belief that Current Literature was strictly 

 a class magazine became so prevalent that the 

 publishers decided to give the reading public an 

 opportunity to study the numerous departments 

 and form their own conclusions. To this end, 

 the Current I.iterature Publishing Company, 55 

 Liberty Street. New York, have extensively 

 advertised that they will send Current Litera- 

 ture until January i, 1899, for fifty cents. This 

 hardly covers postage and cost of printing. The 

 regular price of Current Literature is twenty- 

 five cents a copy This is an offer that should 

 find ready acceptance. 



How to Know the Shore Birds. 



One of the most interesting, as it is one of 

 the most iiseful of books recently published on 

 ornithology is that by Chas. B. Cory, entitled 

 " How to Know the Shore Birds." It is fully 

 illustrated in l)lack and white, the illustrations 

 being the work of Edward Knobel, and the 

 accuracy of the drawings may be considered 

 unquestionable. 



The work is intended to meet the wants of 

 sportsmen especially. It may be said to be a 

 key, in which the species are arranged in 

 groups according to size, and enables any one 

 unfamiliar with birds to identify with com- 

 parative ease any species of North American 

 shore birds. Instructions are given as to the 

 measurement of birds, and there is a glossary 

 of nearly all the terms used in describing them.

In Bird Land. 



By Leander S. Keyser (A. C. McClurg & Co., 

 Chicago) is one of the most attractive of recent 

 books on this interesting subject. The chapters 

 are made up of articles originally contributed to 

 various periodicals, from observations made in 

 and about Springfield, Ohio. "Wayside 

 Rambles," "Bird Curios," "February Outings," 

 "Bird Courtship," "Bird Nurseries," "Bird 

 Work," "Bird Play," and " Bird Deaths," are 

 the titles of a few of the chapters. It is a book 

 to read in the house or out of doors, and we 

 commend it especially for the wide sympathy 

 with nature displayed by the author. Price
