boats and the installing, care and running of gasolene 
motors. By Charles G. Davis. With 40 diagrams, 
9 folding drawings and 8 full-page plans. Price, 
postpaid, $1.50. 
The author is a builder and designer of national repu¬ 
tation. All the instruction given is definite and com¬ 
prehensive, 40 diagrams, 9 folding drawings and 8 full- 
page plans. That portion of the boat devoted to the use 
and care of gas engines should be most carefully perused 
by every individual who operates one. The book is well 
worth the price asked for it.

DUCK SHOOTING Houseboats and Houseboating 
By GEORGE BIRD GRINNELL 
No single gunner, however wide his experi¬ 
ence, has himself covered the whole broad field 
of duck shooting, and none knows so much about 
the sport that there is nothing left for him to 
learn. Each one may acquire a vast amount of 
novel information by reading this complete and 
most interesting book. It describes, with a por¬ 
trait, every species of duck, goose and swan 
known to North America; tells of the various 
methods of capturing each, the guns, ammunition, 
loads, decoys and boats used in the sport, and 
gives the best account ever published of the re- ! 
trieving Chesapeake Bay dog. 
About 600 pages, 58 portraits of fowl, 8 full- 
page plates, and many vignette head and tail 
pieces by Wilmot Townsend. 
Price, edition de luxe on hand made paper, 
bound in buckram, plates on India tint paper, 
each copy numbered and signed by author, $5.00. 
Price library edition, $3.50.

NURSING vs. DOSING. 
A Treatise on the Care of Dogs in Health and Disease. 
By S. T. Hammond (“Shadow”) author of “Training 
vs. Breaking.” 161 pages. Cloth. Price, $1. 
Mr. Hammond believes that more dogs are killed by 
injudicious doctoring than by disease, and the present 
work is a protest against the too free use of medicine 
when dogs are sick. The author has given especial at¬ 
tention to many of the troubles which especially afflict 
small dogs kept in the house, and likely to suffer from 
lack of exercise, and from over-feeding; and boys and 
girls owning dogs—as well as children of larger growth— 
may profitably study and ponder this volume.

BY ALBERT BRADLEE HUNT. 
A volume devoted to a new outdoor field which 
has for its purpose three objects: 
First—To make known the opportunities American waters 
afford for enjoyment of houseboating life. 
Second—To properly present the development which 
houseboating has attained in this country. 
Third—To set forth the advantages and pleasures of 
houseboating in so truthful a manner that others 
may become interested in the pastime. 
The book contains forty specially prepared articles by 
owners and designers of well-known houseboats, and is 
beautifully illustrated with nearly 200 line and half-tone 
reproductions of plans and exteriors and interiors. A 
most interesting chapter is devoted to houseboating in 
England. 
The book has been carefully prepared by Mr. Albert 
Bradlee Hunt. 
The work is printed on extra heavy coated paper, and is 
bound in olive green buckram. The price is $3 net. 
Postage 34 cents.

Sajn Lovel’s Boy. 
By Royland E. Robinson. Price, $1.25. 
Sam Lovel’s Boy is the fifth of the series of 
Danvis books. No one has pictured the New 
Englander with so much insight as has Mr. Rob¬ 
inson. Sam Lovel and Huldah are two of the 
characters of the earlier books in the series, and 
the boy is young Sam, their son, who grows up 
under the tuition of the coterie of friends that we 
know so well, becomes a man just at the time of 
the Civil War and carries a musket in defense of 
what he believes to be the right.

A MODERN DIANA. 
A woman, apparently forty years old, has 
been noticed for several days near Mauckport, 
Harrison county, thirty-five miles southwest of 
New Albany, and her strange actions and ap¬ 
pearance have caused considerable comment 
among the people of that community. She rides 
a pony, carrying a camping outfit of blankets, 
etc., and has two guns strapped to the saddle 
with a pistol in the holster at her belt. She 
is followed by a half-dozen dogs, and the coun¬ 
try people say she camps in the woods at night. 
Nothing is known concerning her, as she has 
refused to give her name or residence each time 
the residents have questioned her. 
When required to purchase food for herself, 
pony, or dogs, she appeared to be amply sup¬ 
plied with funds, and asked assistance from no 
one. 
A woman of the same description was seen 
near West Point, Ky., and her presence in the 
community caused much comment and specula¬ 
tion.—Louisville Courier-Journal.
