By Milton Goldsmith ; 270 Pages ; Price $1.50, The MacMillan Com« Bn Toronto, Publishers, 8 Palmer family was one of those families in which the parents were continually asked all sorts of questions by the children. It was, in short, a typleal young family, and the father, a civil engineer, some- times forgot to be "civil" when in- terrupted too often to answer all kinds of queries. One day, whi. more questions than usual"were be ing asked, he put forward the idea that a club siduld be formed, to be called "The I Wonder Why Club." This club was to meet daily for half an hour, and all questions were to be kept for the meeting. From the meetings of this club grew the. book entitled I Wonder Why." The book is somewhat similar to the books of knowledge which have become so popular during the past few years. It imparts information on nearly every type-of natural phe- nomena and scientific discovery known to the world, and does 80 in an entertaining manner, because the Questions are made the subject of discussion in the club, and are an- swered by thé father in an entirely Satininctory Snnes. _ ould be impossible to detail all the subjects treated in the book, but the range is from astronomy to aeronautics, from the origin of heat smd light to the comforts of home and the habits of bees, ants and beetles. Very little is left unanswered, and the children who read this book will. benefit greatly in their education, for ts greatest function is to assist educa- tion. In this book all abstruse, technical detadl has ben avoided, and the whole is written in narrative form, making {it interesting to read and easy to study. The language is so simple that 'children of all ages, as well as grown up people will take suscial delight in ft. Ttitills a great need, and ranks in the same category as the "Book of Wonders" which {8 now on sale at the Whig Office.

They are all the sores, all the foul contagions, all the impurities, all the devils great and small that have multiplied in hat great invalid, our beloved Rus- » in the course of ages and ages." And in "Crime and Punishment" the wonted and forbidden power, like a child tempted to grip a murderous knife, which is 50 intermingled in the stranny of Bolshevism: is. fol- lowed' with merciless accuracy to its final spiritual fatality.

"I wanted to know if I was like all Of them, merely vermin, or a man; whether I was able to break through the barriers, or not; wheth- er 1 would really stoop to gain power, or not," and so on, in the same strain.

A little library, grow- ing each year, is an honorable part of a man's history. It'is a man's duty to have books. A library is not a luxury, bat one of the necessities of life.-- Henry Ward Beecher. gn -- To add a lHbrary to a house is to give that house a soul.-- Cicero. Many times the reading of a book has made the future of a man.--Emerson, + EPPRPPPVERRPBPITRIIE i If a book is worth reading, it I% is worth buying.--Ruskin. - i : : Gh PEEPLES PEP 290000 There is more reason for say? ing grace before a good book # ts than before a good dinner.-- @ {% Charles Lamb. + *eP0%e "All those devils will come forth, all | : the impurity, all the rottenness that | Was putrefying on the surface, and | Melville Davisson Post, whose into the swine.

But the sick man will be healed, and all will look upon him with astonish. ment." So Dostolvsky not only saw Bol- shevism; he saw beyond Bolshevism to the restoration of sanity and health.
