GOOD BOOKS AT A BARGAIN. 



In our issue for June 15 I gave you a list of 

 books that had got to be somewhat out of date. 

 Quite a lot of them have been sold, but there are a 

 good many of them left yet. We cannot very well 

 reduce the prices any further on most of them, 

 because quite a few at the low price I gave (five 

 and ten cents) only a little more than cover the 

 postage. I find that what is left of " The New 

 Agriculture," a $2.00 book, most of them are more 

 or less damaged by having the covers get wet by an 

 accident. The rejiding-matter is just as good, how- 

 ever; but m view of the damaged covers we make 

 the price from now on 50 cents, postage paid. 



DR. BIGELOW ELECTED SCOUT NATURALIST. 



The managers of the Boy Scouts of 

 America have elected Dr. Edward F. Big- 

 elow, of Sound Beach, Ct., " Scout Natural-
