who are financially able to save moderately

This is a book worth reading, an interest- 
ing and detailed account’ of the business, 
editorial, reportorial and manufacturing 
organization of the daily newspaper by a 
trained newspaper man. In this day and 
generation, when we are dependent upon 
newspapers for so much, it behooves us to 
interest ourselves somewhat in the subject 
of newspaper making, of what constitutes 
a great newspaper. The volume shows how 
editors learn of the happenings that. need 
their attention; how physicians, ministers, 
merchants, builders and many others tell 
the newspaper, without realizing it, of their 
own and their neighbors affairs, and it con- 
tains anecdotes and the record of actual ex- 
perience, which adds to the value of Mr. 
Given’s narrative. 
THE Book oF CAMPING AND WoopcrafT. 
By Horace Kephart. New York: Out- 
ing Publishing Company. Cloth, 16mo. 
Illustrated. 331 pp. Price, $1.50 net. 
The author’s aim in writing this valuable 
little book was to make its pages of practi- 
cal service to those who seek rest or sport 
in the wilderness, or whose business calls 
them thither. As one may define woodcraft 
as “the art of getting along well in the 
wilderness by utilizing Nature’s  store- 
house,” Mr. Kephart’s volume is a hand- 
book of great service in this pursuit. 
THe Harr-Trmper House. By Allen W. 
Jackson. New York: McBride, Nast & 
Company. 1912. Cloth. 8vo.  Illus- 
trated. 115 pages. Price, $2.00 net. 
The various chapters of this book have 
not been written with any intention of pre- 
senting a technical treatise. In his preface 
the author states that it is addressed prim- 
arily to the general reader having an in- 
terest in house building or to those who 
have in mind building for themselves. 
Whether or not the publishers have felt it 
necessary to make the book bulky, it is a pity 
such heavy, unwieldy paper was employed 
in the printing, and the half-tone pages are 
marred by the contrast with them. An un- 
pleasant book to handle is always a difficult 
book to read, notwithstanding which Mr. 
Jackson’s text, despite the handicap placed 
upon it by the publishers, is worth the ef- 
fort of reading it, even though not with 
patience. The chapter on “Methods of 
Construction” is especially interesting and 
helpful,
