SCOPE OF THE VOLUME. 



Few new buyers of steam yachts have more than a vague 

 mprehension of tbe driving i>ower of their vessels^and 

 few bave the time or inclination to enter 

 upon a prolonged scientific study of the the- 

 ory of steam machinery, particularly wben 

 the practical results to them do not seem 

 proportional to the efforts put forth. This 

 volume is intended to be sufficiently com- 

 prehensive, and elementary at the same 

 time, to suit the yacht owner's object of ac- 

 quiring a general understanding of the sub- 

 ject as a whole, with specific information 

 and data covering the most recent practice.

WOODCRAFT. 



By "NESSMUK." 



A book written for the instruction and guidance of those who go for pleasure to the 

 woods. It« author, having had a great deal of experience in camp life, has succeeded admir- 

 ably in putting the wisdom so acquired into plain and intelligible English. The chapters are 

 written to teach the amateur to journey through the wilderness with ease; to sleep on a 

 fragrant elastic bed and pillow at night, instead of abrading his vertebrae against roots and 

 stubs; to go light; to keep warm and dry; to cook plain, wholesome meals; to come out of 

 the woods refreshed and comforted; to get a dollar's worth of recreation for every dollar 

 spent. It is the thing that thousands of novices are looking for, because it gives them just 

 the advice and practical information they want. Then there are bints as well for old camp- 

 ers, who will be surprised to see how much "Nessmuk" can tell chem; and stories anecdotes, 

 and a never-failing supply of mother-wit for the entertainment of all who can appreciate a 

 good thing told in camp or in print. Cloth, 160 pages, illustrated. Piice $1.00.
