LIBRARY NOTES.

Ranlona, by Helen Hunt Jackson. An Indian romance of southern California; a strong plea for justice to the Indian. Tess of the D l bervilies, by Thomas Hardy. Some Good Children’s Books. Jack and Jill, by Louisa M. Alcott. A story of the bust’ and happy days of a boy and girl recovering from the results of an accident. The Big Brother, by G. C Eggleston. A story of-Indian fighting during the war of 1812. Three Colonial Boys, by E. T. Tomlinson. Three Young Continentals, by E. T. Tomlinson. Two Young Patriots, by E. T. Tomlinson. The Little Lame Prince, by Mrs. D. M. Craik. Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, by Lewis Carroll. A fairy tale which draws on modern science and all sorts of modern ideas for its materials, and finds its most characteristic expression in droll irrelevance and the fantastic distortion of familiar things. Though written for children, the wit, the fanciful humor, and the subtlety of -many of its comic undermeanings, can be appreciated fully only-by educated adults. Undine, by LaMotte Fouque. The story of a water fairy. One of the best specimens of pure romance in literature. Stories of Norse Heroes told by the Norsemen, by E. M. W. Buxton. These twenty-five stories furnish in excellent literary form, a simple retelling of the Norse eddas.
