SCRIBNER'S MONTHLY
for lS17.'1S.

Without recalling the excellence OF the past
the publishers OF Scribners Monthly announce
for the year to come, the following papers:
THE PICTURESQUE SIDE OF AMERICAN
FARM LIFE.-This subject will be treated In
series OF separate papers engaged from wrl-
ters who stand in the front rank among Ameri-
cans, both in qualities of style and in keen in
sight OF nature. Mr.. X. L. Robinson, author
Of q delightful paper on Fox-Hunting in New
England In the January number, Will represent
the same section in this series. Jonn Burrows,
whose papers on similar topics have been a
highly priced and popular feature OF Scribner,
will write OF Farm Life in New York. Maurice
Thompson, the poet-naturalist, will describe the
characteristics of Western farming, of which
but little has been written. 1t is expected that
the illustration OF this series will be OF refined
and typical character, commensurate with the
subject matter. IL Is thought that no paper or
series of papers yet Issued IN Scrbner will so
fully realize the constant desire of the maya
zine to keep out OF the ruts, and both IN text
and illustrations, to obtain quality rather than
quantity, and to print fresh. strong and delicate
work from original sources

Hoosler Schoolmaster, &c.) This new novel
Will doubtless be the most important American

manuscript declare Roxy to be much the most
striking and remarkable story this author has
ever written. 1t is illustrated by one Of the

Walter Shirlaw, President OF The American Art
Association.
