236 THE MICROSCOPE. 



microscopists were employed to testify concerning the detection of 

 adulterations in lard. 



Ten or twelve illustrations show the appearances of the pure 

 and adulterated specimens of lard. 



Some of this testimony was so very weak that one blushes in 

 thinking of it, while the testimony offered by others will be valuable 

 for all future workers, for some time to come at least. Professor 

 Belfield's testimony on the whole appears- to us the best. 



Twenty Poems from Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Illustrated from 

 Paintings by his son, Ernest W. Longfellow. 8vo, cloth, full gilt, 

 $4.00; morocco, $9.00; tree calf extra, panel side, with polished bevel edge, 

 $9.00. Houghton, Mifflin & Co., Boston. 



These poems are illustrated with fifty designs, in which Mr 

 Ernest Longfellow interprets their spirit with rare grace and beauty. 

 A fine new portrait of Mr. Longfellow is prefixed to the volume, and 

 peculiar interest attaches to the book from the fact that the portrait 

 and all the illustrations are from the hand of the poet's son. It is 

 one of the choicest holiday gift-books we have seen. Make it a 

 Merry Christmas to some one by a gift of this beautifully illustrated 

 and elegantly bound work. 



Dio Lewis's Monthly. 



A large, illustrated monthly of 128 pages for $2.50 a year. 

 Published by Frank Seaman, 71 Bible House, New York. The 

 editor is represented in the November number as the author of a 

 large number of its articles, one of the best of which is that on "Our 

 Brains and Nerves." As might be expected, it is a bright, sunny 

 journal, filled with readable, entertaining matter, and all of it bound 

 to make men and women healthier and happier. 



The Century Magazine. Union Square, New York. 



The serial story entitled "The Bread-Winners," begun in the 

 August number, is approaching its completion, and the reader 

 becomes more and more anxious, as he progresses, to know the fate 

 of the hero and heroines. "Doctor Sevier," commenced in the 

 November number, promises to satisfy even the medical readers of 

 this magazine. "The Century" holds the first place among the 

 monthlies. Each number is filled with fresh and instructive reading 

 matter. Our professional friends should certainly follow the typical 

 " Doctor Sevier."
