Vegetarianism the Radical Cure foe 
Intbimpebance.—T i’y Harriet P. Fowler: M. L. 
Holbrook & Co., 1879. 
This essay Is based upon tho theory of Liebig 
that a farinaceous diet by supplying a normal 
proportion of carbonaceous properties promotes 
a disinclination for alcoholic liquors. The truth 
of this theory has been amply tested by Sir Okas. 
Napier In a series of experiments, and with the 
best results. We bespeak for the pamphlot a

The Sailor's Sea-Book.—A rudimentary 
treatise on Navigation; by James Greenwood, 
B.A. Revised by W. H. Rosser. “ Weale’s Se¬ 
ries.” Crosby, Lockwood & Co., London, 
This volume has been written especially to 
supply masters of vessels and yatchsmen with 
a complete compendium of navigation within 
moderate limits. It is divided Into two parts ; the 
first devoted to keeping tho log and working 
dead reckoning, and tho second to finding the 
“ ship's position " by observation, that Is, the 
latitude by meridian altitude of the sun, aud the 
longitude by chronometer and sun's altitude. 
All the necessary Information about the e 
pass, its deviatiuti and variation, and howto de¬ 
termine them. With this little volume aud a 
Traverse Table, as well as the “Nautical Alma¬ 
nac'," tho master can navigate the globe. For 
yachtsmen who prefer knocking about the coast, 
and who can always make a “ landfall," tho first 
part of the hook will suffice. As this demands a 
knowledge of nothing more than common arith¬ 
metic and elementary geometry, Its study is 
within the reaoh of all; nor is there any head¬ 
splitting required, so that even those who do not 
choose to follow up the sport as a sotenco 
benefit by a perusal of this book. Ajknowiedge 
of the compass, chart, and log-slate, will add 
much to the interest of sailing, beside placing 
the owner In a position independent to a large 
degree of skipper or pilot. The price of tho book 
In England Is only 2s. lid., and can ho had of deal¬ 
ers hero for $1.25. Beside matters appertaining 
strictly to navigation, the International Code, 
Rule of the Road, laws of storms, etc., are also to 
be found in its eminently practical pages. 
—In the “ Sanitarian ” for September, Nathan 
Allen, of Boston, who is well qualified to discuss 
questions of social science, has a paper on “The 
Educatien of Girls, as Connected with their 
Growth and Physical Development.” Tho arti¬ 
cle should he read by parents and educators. 
Practical Taxerdermy and Home Dec¬ 
oration.— By .1. H. Batty. Published by the 
author. Parkville, New York. Price, $1.50. 
We know of no one better qualified to write 
hook on taxerdermy, whieb shall completely fill 
the bill, than Mr. Batty, the author of “ How to 
Hunt and Trap." Mr. Batty's well-known skill 
as a taxidermist, and his happy faculty of putting 
his printed Instructions into the simplest and 
most Intelligent form, were sufficient assurance 
that his book would be at onoe exhaustive and 
useful. Such upon examination wo find it to bo; 
and we commend it to all sportsmen, collectors, 
professional taxidermists, and to the ladies as 
well, who will find in tho chapters devoted to 
home decoration many valuable hints and in- 
ltruotions. 
—We destro to particularly call the attention 
of our readers to tho important announce¬ 
ment of the Messrs. Cassell, Fetter, Galpin & 
Co„ the great illustrated book-publishing house 
of Loudon, Paris, aud New York, who are 
placing bofore tho public, in monthly parts, 
two elaborate and exceedingly useful works, 
viz.: “Tho Illustrated Book of the Dog," by 
“ Vero Shaw, B. A,, Cantab," the noted enthusi¬ 
astic breeder of dogs, a man of world-wide repu¬ 
tation, and one who is thoroughly up In all mat¬ 
ters relating to rearing, breaking, working,feed¬ 
ing, dealing, judging, buying and selling, groom¬ 
ing, exercise, diseases, medicines, and treatment 
Of dogs. "Tho Illustrated Book of the Dog" 
will furnish a full description of every known 
breed of dog. This illustrated work will be 
form In size and style with the well-known 
standard works—"The Book of tho Horse,’ 
" The Illustrated Book of Poultry," “ The Book 
of Pigeons," and their companion work no' 
suing in monthly parts at the low price of forty 
cents each, viz.; “ Dairy Farming," edited by J. P. 
Sheldon, tho late Resident Professor of Agricul¬ 
ture in tho Royal College, CirenceBter, England, 
with assistance of the most eminent English and 
American authorities. This grand work will be 
embellished with colored plates and many fine 
original wood engravings. We submit a short 
summary of some of the subjects, which will he 
thoroughly treated upon in dairy farming, viz., 
the breeds, the milking, the rearing and feeding 
of ealfs, tho selection of cows for dairy purposes, 
tholr breeding and feeding through the different 
seasons of the year, the various and recently 
i rnproved methods employed in tho production 
of butter, cheese, etc. No country or dog-loving 
person need consider themselves up in the mat¬ 
ters of which these two works treat without a 
thorough n nderstanding of their practical pages; 
therefore, take notice of the advertisement of 
the publishers found on tills page of this week - ; 
paper. From time to time, as the magnificent 
works progress towards completion, we shall 
take occasion to notice the many new and val¬ 
uable hints Introduced.

The noted Dalrymple farm, on theNoth- 
em Pacific Railroad, employs 400 men du¬ 
ring the present harvest, and would use 
600 more but for self binders. It has 115 
self-binding reapers and 20 steam thresh¬ 
ers. The farm contains 75,000 more acres 
in space than the original, District of Col¬ 
umbia. Ground was first broken in 1875. 
This yeav more than 20,000 acres are in 
crops. The owner will ship 500,000 bush¬ 
els of wheat this year to New York at a 
profit of $180,000. In reaping, each ma¬ 
chine takes an eight-foot sweep and cuts 
fifteen acres a day. Twenty-one machines 
work simultaneously on a square mile 
patch, running one after another. 
The Cattle of Colorado— According 
to Mr. Fossett, the author of the new book 
on the West, and its resources, the whole 
number of cattle in the State is now 
855,000, and of sheep 2,000,000 or more. He 
thinks the total yield of wool in 1879 will 
reach 7,000,000 pounds. If the data furn¬ 
ished to Mr. Fossett can be trusted, sheep 
raising in this region should be very profi¬ 
table. It is said that a flock of 1,800 ewes, 
costing $4,500, were placed on a ranch in 
southern Colorado; and that, from the 
start, the wool dipped has paid for shep¬ 
herds and all current expenses. In the 
course of eight years 1,600 sheep have 
been killed for mutton and consumed on 
the ranch, while 7,740 have been sold for 
about $30,000. There are now some 15,000 
head on hand, worth, at $3 per head, 
$45,000, showing a net profit over the orig¬ 
inal investment of $70,000 in eight years. 
A Plucky Ride.— At the Coney Island 
races the other day one of the two-year- 
olds when she neared the starting-point 
began to rear and jump and tear about 
like a mad hornet. Suddenly her head 
went down and her tail went up, and she 
threw little McLaughlin the jockey, over 
her head and far into the track. The fallen 
jockey was up and remounted like a flash, 
but the filly was determined to have him 
off, and she threw him a second time with 
great force. The attention of the specta¬ 
tors was entirely diverted from the race 
and centered upon the capering steed. 
Ten times was the little rider t hrown, each 
time regaining his seat, but from the 
eleventh fall the boy was hardly able to 
rise, and when he did get up his face was 
cut and he was hurt in the side. Then one 
of the owners, T. D. Daley, mounted the 
obstreperous filly and she tried to thrtuv 
him. Daley, who had neither stirrup nor 
whip, clung to the seat like grim death, 
but when he undertook to ride Jessie D. 
down the stretch she threw him, too, aud 
tried to run away.
