ena, &c. By PAUL B. DU CHAILLU. Illustrated. 12mo,
Cloth, $1.50.
In this book Mr. Du Chaillu relates the story of his sojourn in Apingi
Land, of which he was elected king by the kind-hearted and hospitable
natives. * * * We assure the reader that it is full of stirring
incidents and exciting adventures. Many chapters are exceedingly
humorous, and others are quite instructive. The chapter, for instance,
on the habits of the white and tree ants contains an interesting
contribution to natural history.--_N. Y. Herald._

The Country of the Dwarfs.
By PAUL B. DU CHAILLU. Illustrated. 12mo, Cloth, $1.50.
Hail to thee, Paul! thou hero of single-handed combats with gorillas and
every imaginable beast that ever howled through the deserts, from the
elephant to the kangaroo; thou unscathed survivor of a thousand-and-one
vicissitudes by fire, field, and flood; thou glowing historian of thine
own superlatively glorious deeds: thou writer of books that make the
hairs of the children stand on every available end; thou proud king of
the Apingi savages of the equator; hail! we say.--_Utica Herald._

WIGGLES.
Here are some of the answers to the Wiggle published in No. 10 of
HARPER'S YOUNG PEOPLE. So many were sent in that it was impossible to
publish them all, and so our artist selected those that he considered
the best. Those that he used were sent in by J. R. S., J. B. G., M. E.,
A. T. Jones, Paul, D. C. Gilmore, H. and B., and Bert W. S., several of
whom sent a number of different figures.
Others, and some of them very good, were sent in by W. B. B., Ethel M.,
S. A. W., Jun., John Peddle, C. F., Nettie S. H., Willie H. S., Mabel
M., E. H. S., Hetty, M. Ward, Philip M., Amenio E. A., Willy H.,
H. W. P., J. L., Mary P., Archie H. L., C. B. F., R. S. M., W. A. Burr,
Percy B. M., Paul. B. T., E. S., C. F. C., Gracie C., Eva M., and Anita
R. N. Figure No. 8 is what our artist made of the Wiggle; and Figure No.
9 is a new Wiggle in two parts, which must be combined in one drawing,
though they must retain their relative positions.
