Those Dreadful Twins. By Themselves. (T. Fisher Ernwin.)— The "twins"

tell their own story, which, though it has nothing very funny in it, is amusing enough. They are a very business- like pair for boys so young,—they are nine when the story begins. One of their greatest treats is a holiday stay on the `Pandora,' an old hulk on the Solne which a man and his wife live in. Here they meet the characters of " Mehalah." Their attempt to carry on at home the free-and-easy manners they have learned unconsciously on the Pandora' is, of course, nipped in the bud. One of them swallows twenty pills, but is apparently none the worse for the dose. They are certainly a fresh and interesting couple. The illustrations are photographs of the boys at various times and in various dresses.
