It is quite justly regarded as the very best ever made_ The little machine is clamped by the thumbscrew to a table. It pares and slices the fruit, and deposits the slices in a dish. Its operation is quick, efl'ective, certain, and simple. Can Opener.--One of the standing annoyances of housc keepers is the opening of cans containing fruits, vegetables, etc. It is certain that the ordinary tools employed for this purpose are very defective. They are hard to operate, dangerous to handle, and rough in results. The accompanying cut shows the Clipper Can Opener in position for service. It is screwed on to any convenient place. The table on which the can stands is adjusted by a ratchet movement to any height of can. The knife is curved to meet the circle of the can. It can easily be thrust through the tin, when, by a rotary motion, it will cut the top out, as cleanly as if cut by straight shears.

The Family Cherry Stoner, here shown, does the work very well, preserving the plumpness of the cherry and saving all its juices, but effectually removing its stone.

Culinary Landmarks is a definitive history and bibliography of Canadian cookbooks from the beginning, when La cuisinière bourgeoise was published in Quebec City in 1825, to the mid-twentieth century. Over the course of more than ten years Elizabeth Driver researched every cookbook published within the borders of present-day Canada, whether a locally authored text or a Canadian edition of a foreign work. Every type of recipe collection is included, from trade publishers' bestsellers and advertising cookbooks, to home economics textbooks and fund-raisers from church women's groups. The entries for over 2,200 individual titles are arranged chronologically by their province or territory of publication, revealing cooking and dining customs in each part of the country over 125 years. Full bibliographical descriptions of first and subsequent editions are augmented by author biographies and corporate histories of the food producers and kitchen-equipment manufacturers, who often published the books. Driver's excellent general introduction sets out the evolution of the cookbook genre in Canada, while brief introductions for each province identify regional differences in developments and trends. Four indexes and a 'Chronology of Canadian Cookbook History' provide other points of access to the wealth of material in this impressive reference book.
