The circular is remarkable in that it is
almost, if not quite, unprecedented and
is an unusual illustration of denomina-
tional unity. Yet if the sigbers be-
lieve in what they preach, it is only
legitimate application of their doctrines
to very important subject.
ST. NICHOLAS for June, 1880, has an
outdoor, summer-y character sustained
in the poems, the prose, and
the seyenty-two pictures. Among its
striking features is an account, by Olive
Thorne Miller, of the Children's Aid
Society's delightful charity, "The Sum-
mer Home' for poor city children, at
Bath, L. l., with seven pictures made
by Jessie Curtis from sketches taken on
the spot. Another attractive paper is
an article written and copiously Illus
trated by Mr.. Daniel G. Beard, clearly
explaining to young people Chow to
Camp Out" cheaply, easily, and COM
fortably. There are long enstallments
of the two serials,-"Jack and JILL" by
Louisa M. Alcott, with two fine illustra-
tions by Dielman; and "The Fairport
Nine," by Noah Brooks, with pictures
by Redwood. The number contains five
complete short stories, all illustrated.
Mrs. r. Swain Clifford contributes fine
picture and a few paragraphs about
some interesting ducks called cold
Squaws," whose musical cry. "He got
no gun!" is said to be irritating to
sportsmen. Among the funny things

three humorous illustrations by Frank
Beard. ''Two Famous Old Stones,"
from Rosetta. near the mouth of the
Nile, and from the ancient country of
Moab, are described and pictured, and
their history and importance are ex-
planned.
The steel engraving in the June num-
Der of the Eclectic, just out, is fine
portrait of Anthony Trollope, of whose
life and work the Editor gives in the
letterpress 8 brief but appreciative
sketch. The initial article of the num-
Der is very striking paper by DR.. Car
penter on e'The Deep Sea and Its Con-
tents," describing the results achieved
and the problems solved by the recent
Challenger Expedition around the
world. This is followed by caustic
and very able paper on ''Metternich.' -
by DR.. Karl Hillebrand; and this in
turn by Mr.. James Payn's little essay
on "Sham Admiration in Literature .
which has provoked SO much discussion
both in this country and in England.
Perhaps the most remarkable paper in
the number is one entitled ssBack-
sheesh," in which an Englishman de-
scribes the processes of bribery and cor
ruption by which he secured Soon
cessiono from the Turkish Government
and scarcely less interesting is an Eng.
lish lady's s'Letters from Constantine

"Days in the Woods" describing moose
hunting in Nova Scotia), by the Earl OF
Dunraven; "Illusions of Memory" and
"Artificial Diamonds" The poetry
