No one can have a proper idea of the number of different salads possible of in- ‘vention to tempt man’s palate until he has perused the interesting pages of *‘The American Salad Book,” by Maximilian de Loup. There are fish salads, tame and wild fowl salads, egg salads, meat salads, vege- table salads, frult salads, fancy salads and 8 most wonderful collection of miscellan- eous salads, all of which have been duly tried and experimented with and found irresistibly appetizing. The author first glves some valuable words in a general vein by way of preparation for the actual dents, quarrels, eta He also gives & rec- ord of every ballot taken in every conven- tion. A period of 112 years is a long time to cover and it is hardly fair to ask that the author shall have every point pre- sented with absclute accuracy, as record evidence 1s very often either imperfectly preserved or entirely destroyed, but it must be sald that the volume has been made as complete and rellable as possible. In addition to a complete resume of every Presidential election in order, together with much valuable and authentic data, are given a summary of the popular votes for Presidents and an Interesting chapter on the contested Presidential elections, with the full text of the present statute governing the same. A complete index is added to make the book a handy one terest to many is one by Hester A. Bene- dict on “San Francisco’s First Postoffice and Its Buflder.” Another well written article appears under the title of “Guada- lupe, the Sacred City,” by G. Conyngham Cunningham. It is fllustrated from photo- graphs. ik Houghton, Miffin & Co. have in press four farces by Mr. Howells which have never been reprinted from the magazines in which they appeared. They are entitled “Bride Roses,” “Indlan Glver,” Smoking Car” and “Room &."” That they are bright, deliclously humorous, ex- quisitely refined and charming in style is a matter of course since Mr. Howells wrote them. They will be brought out in little volumes of attractive typography, simply and artistically bound. “The: great forces of human life e —— ment, has now been reprinted and 1s reany for the market.
