SCRIBNER’S BOOKS FOR THE YOUNG. . THE IVORY KING. . BY CHARLES F. HOLDER. Square 8vo, with twenty-four full-page Iustrations. ús ? - $2.00. ae ee BABY JUMBU. The wonderfully interesting array of facts which Mr. Holder brought together in his Marvels of Animal Life, was the fruit very largely of his personal observations. It forms one of the most stimulating and delightful contributions to the class of Natural History books for the young that has ever been made, and was a fitting forerunner to Zhe /vory King, which is devoted entirely to the Elephant, and has even a more vivid fascination than the first named volume. The subject is a large one in more senses than one, and is treated quite exhaustively, as the summary of its contents will show. The Natural History of the Elephant, its habits and ways and its intelligence, the Mammoth Three and Four Tusked Elephants, Hunting and Capturing Wild Elephants, the Elephant in Captivity, Rogue Elephants, the White Elephant, Trained Elephants, Show Elephants, Ivory, War Elephants, etc., etc. The numerous illustrations are especially excellent, being drawn from a great variety of sources and are none of them mere fancy pictures. It would be hard to name a book which would be a more welcome and valued addition to the library of the average boy or girl just beginning to cultivate a love of reading and an interest in the world around them. MARVELS OF ANIMAL LIFE. CHARLES F. HOLDER. Square 8vo, with thirty-two full-page Illustrations, . . . ‘* (ne of the most remarkable of recent publications, . . . The kind of book that ought to find its place in libraries for boys and girls of a thoughtful and inquiring turn of mind, It not only satisfies a healthful curiosity but nit furnishes a world of substantial information.”—CAristian Unton, $2.00.
