In Far Japan. By Mrs. Isla Sitwell. (T. Nelson and

Sons.)— English children will be interested in this pretty little sketch of the life of two little boys in Japan. Ernest and Humphrey seem to enjoy themselves fairly well, and the coming of the ship- wrecked baby makes a pleasant break in the monotony of their existence. Young people should certainly read In Far Japan, and so obtain some idea of life in the Empire of the Mikado.
