TOWARD THE RISING SUN.

China, Japan, Korea, Borneo, and other Eastern countries. There is an
interesting chapter on Housekeeping in East India, by Sara Jeannette
Duncan.

HYGIENE
That man has a liberal education who has been so trained in youth
that his body is the ready servant of his will, and does with
ease and pleasure all the work that, as a mechanism, it is
capable of.
HUXLEY.

JEWETT, F.G.
Good Health.
Ginn. .40
A clear statement of facts concerning the body and the attention that
should be given to it. There are chapters on fresh air, eyesight, the
ear, the care of the nails, hair, and teeth, and valuable information
about tobacco and alcohol, and their effects on animals as well as
people.

MYTHOLOGY, FOLK-LORE, LEGENDS, AND FAIRY TALES
So it is; yet let us sing
Honour to the old bowstring!
Honour to the bugle-horn!
Honour to the woods unshorn!
Honour to the Lincoln green! (p. 124)
Honour to the archer keen!
Honour to tight little John,
And the horse he rode upon!
Honour to bold Robin Hood,
Sleeping in the underwood:
Honour to Maid Marian,
And to all the Sherwood clan!
Though their days have hurried by
Let us two a burden try.
