Recoi.lections of a life-time. By 
General Roeliff BrinkerhofT. The Rob- 
ert Clarke Company, Cincinnati, O. 
8vo. 462 pages. Cloth extra. |2 postpaid. 
To tho.se at all acquainted with the re- 
markable events of the past 50 3'ear.s and 
the principal actors in the drama, will re- 
member how intimately connected with 
much of that historj' has been the author 
of this volume of recollections. It is such 
works as these that serve to establish and 
corroborate historical records, and to 
maintain a co-relationship between bare 
facts. General Brinkerhoff was on inti- 
mate terms with many of the foremost 
characters of the Civil war, and main- 
tained himself in clo.se touch with the 
politics of the stirring times succeeding 
that eventful period of our history. The 
book is interestingly written and keeps 
the reader absorbed to the end. General 
Brinkerhoff has been an active and useful 
citizen. In the work of education, as a 
soldier, lawyer, editor or statesman, he 
has upheld the dignity of every situation 
he controlled, and finally turning his ac- 
tive and energetic nature to Public Chari- 
ties, his name is familiar in the great 
work of regulating and improving our 
correctional establishments. The Recol- 
lection of a Lifetime can well be recom- 
mended not alone for its text but for the 
influence it exerts towards the pursuit of 
earnest living.

Marcus & Amherst Cemetery Annual, 
Marcus, la.. May 1900. This little an- 
nual is always an interesting periodical, 
and is a method of advising and keeping 
in touch with lot owners, that anj’ small 
well managed cemeter\’ might readily 
adopt. The association is progressive and 
has now started a perpetual care fund, 
which considering that the total receipts 
last year were only I426, attests the energ}" 
of the managers and equallj' so, the con- 
dition of the community supporting their 
views.

forms a complete record of annual pro- 
gress; gives a large amount of general in- 
formation on park improvement, from 
outside sources, a list of its plants and 
botanical acquisitions, and forms an in- 
structive agencj-for the creation of strong 
sentiment in the minds of the people for 
its improving park properties. Such lit- 
erature is invaluable.

IRON GRAVE 
AND LOT MARKERS.^ app'’l'Ied''for. 
The annexed picture represents a new idea of a 
Grave or Burial Lot Marker, which we are introducing 
to the Superintendents of the Cemeteries throughout the 
country’, to be used by them for recording the graves or 
burial lots under their charge. 
This Marker is made of cast iron, nicely galvanized 
to prevent rusting. The shank is 17 inches long, 
the top inches long and inches wide. 
Each Marker bears a number and can have a 
different number upon it, or as many can be 
made having the same number as there are tiers 
or sections in your cemetery. This Marker is 
driven into the ground, having its top flush, to 
allow a lawn mower to cut the grass completely. 
Our new Marker is very easily put into the 
ground and is easily found. The barb on the 
end of the shank prevents the frost from push- 
ing the Marker up. This is a great improvement 
fashioned stone, slate or wooden post marker, 
which are more generally used, and which, by sticking up out 
of the ground, detract greatly from the beauty of your ceme- 
tery. We believe you will And this cheaper and better adapted 
for cemetery use than any now in the market. Should you be 
interested in this, we should be glad to quote you prices for a 
quantity. SARGENT & CO., New Haven, Conn
