LIPPINCoTr'S MAGAZINE for Novem-
Der Is equal to any of its predecessors in
richness and variety ofinterest. "Later
Pompeian Days." the concluding paper
of "Rambles of Three" by Margaret
Bertha Wright, Is very amusing and
capitally illustrated. The fifth chap
ter of DIR. Oswald,s "Summerland
Sketches" describes the Sierra Madre,
and gives an entertaining glimpse of
convent-life i'm the mountainous region
of Mexico. An article on Leadville,
also well illustrated, will command at
tention, after all that has been pub
lished i'm regard to the Carbonate
City," by its copious information as to
the value and prospects of the mines,
its hints to investors, and its graphic
account of the manners and habits
of the population. "Where the Beef
Comes From is the title of timely
and interesting paper OF cattle-breed-
ing in Texas and Colorado. DIR. Alfred
$. Gibbs has a lively paper on Goethe's
mother, with extracts from her cores
p0ndence and sketches Of her intimate
friends, accompanied by an outline
portrait of this remarkable woman.
Citali Seton describes the organization
and workings of the "Sccret Societies
Of Southern Italy," and the problem
they offer to Italian craftsmanship.
"rhe Bicycle, and Riding It," by j.
Wilcox, indicates the inventions that
have led to this new process of locomo-
ton, already SO popular in England,
and sums up its advantages; and J.
Brander Matthews discusses Sheridan's
"Critic," which was first played
hundred years ago and still keeps Its
place OH the stage. Among the stories
in the number may be mentioned "a
Slight misunderstanding. which Is ia
the form of a comedietta, and needs
but u few alterations to adapt it for
private theatricals, character sketch
by Phillip Bourke Marston, and the
first part Of very ag~ceably-written
little tale, entitled Aimee" which,
like "Daisy Miller" deals with the life
Of a young American girl abroad. The
'sNIonthIy Gossip" treats of"Fall Shop
ping,u Emile Sola and the Prince Inn
pcrial,n and other appropriate topics.

AN UNUSUALLY BEAUTIFUL I'm

Our readers should note the pros

ALSO the clubbing rate with the STAR.
Our readers will be glad to learn that
that sterling agricultural monthly, the
Farmers ReUieto, Chicago, is to be con-
verted into u weekly OH the first of the
year. The Revieio was established as
"a monthly in 1877, and has circulation
OF 81, 900 copies greater that of any
other farm paper. As weekly, at on
ly one dollar per year, 1t seems to us
that it should have that number of
subscribers in this State. Indeed, why
should not every farmer In the State
subscribe for il? They would soon be
convinced that this was the best dollar
Investment that they ever made. We
will furnish the Reuiew with our own
