The Docember Century,

VARIETY and freshness of Illustrations and literary features are claimed for the December CENTURY. John Marshall, the Great Chief-Justice, is the subject of of the frontispiece, which, with charac ter sketches and many portraits, belongs to E. V. Smalley's paper on ''Ihe Su- preme Court of the United States. Be- sides giving clear idea of the functions of the Supreme Court, the writer de- sclibes picturesquely the routine and the humor of that dignified body, and gives seversl anecdotes of the chief-jus- tices. My Adventures in Zuni" is Frank H. Cushings first paper on the remarkable tribe of Pueblo Indians with whom he has been living as an adopted chief for two years or more. His ac- count of the family life and religious rites of the Zunis, and the numerous illustrations, are both unusually inter esting. William Elliot Griffis explains ''The Corean Origin of Japanese Art, " and brings to the assistance of the text several striking repropuctions of old Corean art "The Taxidermal Art, is the subject of several beautiful engrav- ings of mounted birds and animals, and, in the text, Franklin H. North writes with freshness about taxidermists and the curious features of the art. A DOT trait of the late late Dr. John Brown, the author of the immitable story ''Rab and his Friends" which includes DOT trait of the mastiff Rab, and picture of the authors study, and some amusing grotesques by Dr. Brown, illustrate a charming paper on 'Rabs Friend" by Andrew Lang.
 a n a it. iric essay is Henry James Jr. s, "Point of View" which has, as study of American manners, even more interest than ''Daisy Miller" The purpose is, by series of clever letters by Americans who have lived in Europe, and by an educated Englishman and French defeats of American life and character as they appear from the different points of view of these critics. Prof. Louns- bury, of Yale, returns to ''The Problem of Spelling Reform,' and makes for cible argument in favor of it, and John Burroughs talks delightfully."- of the 'Hard Fare" of the birds and small an1- mals when winter is unusually severe.
 Mary Hallock Foote's serial, ''The Led-Horse Claim," advances to strong dllu uON61 SlUtldUlOu Ill 1u1u1uS oApoi1 ence, part of the action of the story passing underground. The authors full-page illustration of Cecil in the mine, engraved by Cole, is perhaps the most striking illustration in the number Mrs. Burnett's ''Through One Admins tration" approaches the focal point o1 interest; and in the second part of ''The Christian League of Connecticut, the Rev. Dr. Gladden. weaves practical hints for Christian cooperation into his effect i've New England story.
 The poems of the number are by the late Sidney Lanier, Prof. Henry A Beers, Andrew B. Saxton, l.. Frank Tooker; and in "Bric-a-Brac" by Johr Vance Cheney, J. A. Macon, H. c. Bun ner, Frank D. Sherman, and others "Western Careers for Eastern Young Men" is the leading article in "Topics of the Time" and the other departments treat variety Of timely subjects.

The Christmas St. Nicholas.

The great holiday number comes laden with it's seasonable freight of mirth and good cheer and chiefest among its spe- cial features is Christmas story, by Louisa M. Alcott, entitled ''Grandmam- mas Pearls"
 Other timely features are, the bright, colored frontispiece by R. B. Birch,-a snow scene, with children, pony, and dogs, and an unmistakable Christmas flavor. Then there is graphic account of long dog-sledge journey on Lake Winnipeg, eapitally Illustrated by Fanny 0 Christmas poem by Nora Perry; and a clever short story, ''The Christmas Fai- Douglass contributes pathetic little Christmas tale; and two pages are given to the words and music of simple but tuneful "Christmas Carol
 Besides the foregoing, there is much that is not whit less attractive just be- cause it does not happen to be more ap- propriate to Christmas than to any and every season. The beginning of ''The Story of the Field of the Cloth of Gold, for instance charming tale, weaving in, most delightfully."-, the principal incl dents of the famous meetinS of the Kings in the Golden Valley. ''Mary and hel Garden" six-page poem, written by Eva l.. Ogden, engrossed, and beautiful ly illustrated by Alfred Brennan, which deals with some ittle-known adventures of the contrary Miss Mary. An amusing "Alphabet of Children" with jingle and picture for each letter. A quaint and highly original fairy tale, by Frank R. Stockton, who also contributes an other installment of "The Story O. Viteau."
 J. T. Trowbridge's serial, ''The link ham Brothers Tide-mill," is also con tinued, with three chapters of accumu lating interest.
 In addition to all this is an article o1 whale-hunting in Japan, by William Ell liot Griffis, and "The Discovery of tht Mammoth," by c. F. Holder, with { startling picture of James c. Beard.
 The entire number, including the ''De partments, is copiously and handsome ly illustrated by the cleverest designer for children

THE partisan papers love to sheer at the independents as they style them. Here is a picture of the reverse side, clipped from an exchange. 'It is not difficult to imagine the weary political worker and writer sitting down after all is over and counting up the cost, calcu- lating whether after all it was worth the strength wasted, the truth perverted, the pain suffered and the pain inflicted :; whether there was any satisfaction to be taken in looking back upon it at that moment, when all was over and the pas sion of work was cooled, and before the news of the result had begun to come in to stir the pride of victory or the hu- initiation of defeat. In these calm retro spective moments the partisan warrior, who has been mingling in the very thick of the political fight. as though the life of a state or a nation was at stake, quietly says that 'it must be apparent that the majority of the peo- pie care very little about party matters and experience relief when the excite ment of canvass is over. The exchange adds that they are no more satisfied than are the journalists who are under the constant pressure of partisan zeal and effort while campaign is in progress. , The confession is that partisan journal ists are industriously doing distasteful work which their readers care very little about, and "must keep the mill going all the time without cessation, both fol the party's sake and all the persona interest which are involved in the can vass"
