GANOE CRUISING AND CAMPING. 
- By Perry D. Frazer. Illustrated. 95 pages, cloth. 
Price ?L 
This interesting little volume is a practical guide 
for the cruising canoeist, the man who wishes to 
start away from the city and for a short time to 
make his canoe his home. With this in view, 
Mr. Frazer, who regards canoeing as a healthful 
and economical method of passing away leisure 
hours, has written briefly but attractively of 
canoes, camping outfits, clothing, firearms and 
ammunition; fishing tackle, photography, and in 
general of cruising, camping and all that pertains 
to this phase of outdoor life. While the volume 
has been written chiefly for the younger men, it 
is yet full of practical information and suggestion 
that appeals to those who have had a wider ex- 
perience. 
Such a book as this should be in the library 
of every man who is interested in outdoor life or 
the things which pertain to it. It is one of the 
manuals which should stand on the shelf along- 
•ide of "Woodcraft," of which, in fact, it ii a 
part.

Samoa 'Uma 
Where Life is Different. 
By Llewella Pierce Churchill. 
ANNOUNCEMENT. 
Under the attractive title Samoa 'Utna, or "All Samoa," Mrs. Llewella Pierce 
Churchill has written a book for which she gathered the material during a residence 
at Apia, where her husband, William Churchill, was the American Consul-General, 
The conditions of life at the Consulate were most favorable for a study of the 
people, and with the instinct of a journalist Mrs. Churchill improved the opportunity 
to the full. As a woman she won confidences which would have been denied to a 
man, and acquired a vast fund of interesting lore which would have been withheld 
from one less sympathetic and less fully trusted. Thus she learned and has here 
described the real Samoa, that is the Samoans as they are. 
The successive chapters give an admirably complete picture of a people in whom, 
as we read of tbeni in these vivacious pages, Mrs. Churchill compels us to feel an 
unflagging mtcresi. The book is well balanced; there is just enough of the history of 
Samoa to give an understanding of the events which have brought a portion of the 
islands under the flag of the United States; and just enough of description to make 
an appropriate and effective stage setting. But the chief characteristic of this 
brightly written book is action of incident and story. It is writing of the sort that 
has movement, and leads one on from page to page. 
"Samoa 'Uma" is not exclusively about the Samoans; there is a chapter on 
Papalangi life, from which it appears that living in Samoa is so'^different ; and 
some of the best things in the book are the personal experiences and adventures of 
this particular Papalangi woman, whose love of outdoor life led her on frequent 
excursions amid the coral reefs and into the dark jungles. 
All in all, it is a book that will be read through, and read more than once. Here 
is the list of chapters :
