My Strange Rescue, and other Stories of Sport and Adventure

in Canada. By J. M. Oxley. (Nelson and Sons.)—These thirty-five stories of life and adventure in various parts of Canada are brisk and entertaining. Boys will find them instructive as well, for they contain sketches of some of the wilder parts and the occu-

pations peculiar to them. There is something about snow-shoeing, lumbering, sleighing, skating, life in the backwoods, and other incidents of Canadian life, and all are made readable and amusing, so that we can heartily recommend the book to boys desirous of learning a little of their Canadian cousins and some of the pleasures of winter weather.
