— : o : — The Cosmopolitan Masonic Calendar , Diary , and Pocket Book for 1889 . London : George Kenning , 16 and 16 A Great Queen Street , W . C . IT was with pleasure we received the 19 th issue of this handy and indispensable diary . Year after year , as the nnmber of Lodges and

Chapters increase , so does the value of this calendar . Not only does it give a list of Lodges , Chapters , Conclaves , Commanderies , with the several places and dates of meeting , bnt ib contains a diary for each

day , with a list of meetings taking place on that day , with the necessary space for engagements to be entered therein . Among other useful information the "Cosmo" contains a list of the names of Officers in

all parts of the world , together with particulars of every Masonic body in existence . It will thus be seen the editor has this year made his book even more comprehensive than hitherto , and we feel sure the Craft will not be backward in testifying its appreciation .

The Dorset Masonic Calendar for 1889 . Weymouth : Sherren and Son , 79 St . Mary Street . IN offering this handy work to the brethren of the Province of Dorset the compiler , Bro . John A . Sherren , has produced one of the best and most complete of Provincial Calendars . From first to last page it is

clearly shown tbafc great care has beeu bestowed upon the work to prevent mistakes appearing . Bro . Sherren , in a short preface , thanks the Provincial Grind Secretary for the great pains he has taken in supplying him with correct data . The book ia full of useful information , while the tables in connection with the Masonio

Institutions have been revised by the different Secretaries , and also by Bro . Dugdale . At tbe end of the book there is an Obituary column giving details of the Dorset brethren who have passed away during the year , while in another part there is to be found some useful

Masonic notes , with lists of Grand and Provincial Grand Officers for years back . The execution of the book is exceedingly good , and reflects great credit on Messrs . Sherren and Son , the printers . The price , moreover , is moderate .

The Wiltshire Masonic Calendar for 1889 . Bradford-on-Avon : Bro . G . J . Farrington . BRO . Farrington has recently issued a neat little card for the use of the brethren of the Friendship and Unity Lodge , No . 1271 , wherein

he gives a list of all Masonio meetings to take place in the Province of Wiltshire during the present year . The task Brother Farrington has undertaken has been clearly and distinctively done , and should prove of great value to the Freemasons of Wiltshire .

HOLLOWAY ' S Pitts AND OINTMENT . —Winter remedies . — Are the readiest remedies for the diseases now so rife and fatal . The adverse influences of the severe frosts , dense fogs and piercing winds * , have pveduce ' . a terrible increase in the number and severity of "chest diseases" of all kinds , especially bronchitis and inflammation of the lungs . Loss of time in the treatment ot these and other similar diseases often means death . The Ointment should be briskly rubbed into the chest and between tho shoulders , according to the printed directions , which , combined with the internal action of the fills , will lower the temperature of the blood , reduce the frequency of the pulse ancl respiration , and check the advance of the malady in good time .
