work when it engaged Mr.. King to pre-
psre his series of illustrated articles on
''The Great South.'' The second of
these papers in the February number is
devoted to Texas, and the illustrations

and critical sketch of 'Beranger,' which
is tastefully illustrated, and Miss Clara
Hilgard Tittman furnishes a graceful
illustrated poem entitled sRishyasringa.'
