With this new saddle the case is different, for it can be
adjusted to fit a large or small person exactly. It also has a
contrivance which permits the parts to move up and down so that there is
no friction whatever. Our attention was called to it by one of the
officers of the navy, who has proved himself an expert in wheel
contrivances, and a careful test bears out all of his statements. The
saddle is well made and inexpensive ($3.50).
BOOKS RECEIVED.
We have received a very attractive little book called "Uncle Robert's
Visit," which is the third part of the series of books called "Uncle
Robert's Geography." It is published by the Messrs. Appleton in their
series of Home-Reading Books, and presents nature study and geographical
knowledge in the most attractive form, being woven in a story of "Uncle
Robert's Visit" to the farm. This particular uncle, like some others we
have known, was a fund of information and a source of delight to the
nephews and nieces. He went about with them in the fields and woods,
and, without forcing it on them in any way, so ordered the conversation
that they learned much of nature on each trip.
