ThK Science of Nutrition — Edward Atkinson, ■ LL. D., Ph. D. 148 pp.

This treatise npoa the science of nntrition is a carefdl compilation of what has been discovered in i»;ard to the nutrition of vari- ous articles of food, and tbe nutritive value of food materials, with numerous recipes. It is an illustration of the value of the Alladin Oven which is a contrivance by which a simple oil lamp sujiplies sufficient heat to bake a good sized batch of bread or cook a dinner for a large family. It seems to be the highest achievement of science fur eco- nomically cooking or preparing food for digestion.

These can be supplied in this country at 5 cts. each by mail. They are very neat and useftil as introdnctoty Tracts on VegetMrian living. We wish this new Order abundant success.

TWO CHICAGO APPLE BLOSSOMS, UR friend Albert H, Snyder, Ptcp. of the Chicago V. S., has I been assisting the MandeviUe cbildren in their public ' efforts. He writes of them : Margkry Mandeville is a me little maid of five, cneofthe most charming and one of the most gifted children now before tlie public. By those who have heard her, her appearance is always greeted with the most rapturous applause, while those who have not, are equally entbuaiastic for an encore. The intelligence displayed in the ren- dition of her selections is certainly exceptional. Her training has been so fine there seeuis no art — only the most unaffected, swe^t nature.

Enola Mandeville is a very graceful little dancer of eleven years also an elocutionist of unusual ability. Her selections are given with a taste and an understanding of the subject that bring out in delicate shading the thoughts of tiie author, and in a manner exceedingly pleasing to her hearers. Her repertoire includes the grave and the gay. lu a quiet, thoughtful part, or in the life and sparkle of her humorous pieces she is equally entertaining.

The Mandeville Children, who stand preeminent in the ranks of infant phenomena, are practtcaHy Vegetarians. Their mother long ago became convinced that excessive tneat-eating was the cause of many of the ailments to which humanity is heir and that without being clean and pure physically one could not possess a healthy mentality. She attributes her daughters' precocity largely to their habits of diet. She said, in an interview, that she does not abso- lutely forbid her children to eat meat. She believes that reforms of that kind should come from within. And the children, when eating at the tables of strangers, as

Ihey frequently are obliged to do in traveling about, refuse to

touch fleshmeat, not because it is forbidden them, but because

[hey have been led to see that they are better off without it. They

drink neither tea or coffee. They are both perfect "pictures of

health". Contrary to common belief their work is not tiresome

and they thoroughly enjoy it. Their home is in one of Chicago's

suburbs. At present they are having a taste of Canadian
