Literary Note.

The current numbers of THE CONTINENT,
bearing dates May I'd and 9th, are exception
ally rich in timely and superbly illustrated
articles. The first opens with fine engraved
portrait of Michael Munkacsy, perhaps the
greatest OF living painters, and besides num-
Der OF drawings illustrative of his works,
presents magnificent tull-page engraving
from one of his numerous paintings "Milton
Debating Paradise Lost to his Daughters. !"
This picture is owned by the Lenox Library
in New York, and the engraving was made
from the original expressly for The Contin-
emit There is also an engraving of the figure
of CHRIST from the artists famous painting OF
"Christ before Plate" The context is by
Anna Bowman Blake, an author who has en-
ioyed especial facilities Tor learning from the
artist himself the leading incidents of his
professional career The Continent is pre-
senting some admirable magazine illustra-
tions, of which this issue contains large
nuasbes of exceedingly creditable examples
In the second numbeF named is sketch OF
the late Alexander H. Stephens, the typical
Southern Statesman who has done such en-
at large. The Continent is the first OF the
magazines TO publish carefully prepared
paper oil the life and services of this remark
able and gifted man. The author, the Rev
Henry Whitney Cleveland, was selected by
Mr. Stephens as his literary executor, and
the present article was prepared with the full
approval of the deceased statesman, who
well knew where 1t would eventually be
published, and who wrote an autograph Tor
FAC smile reproduction in The Continent.
The closing chapters of Judge Tourgee's
stHot Plowshares'' increase in interest as the
climax approaches, and the author Of "a
FOOLS Errand" has never done himself
greater credit as historical novelist than in
this volume of the series. The illustrations,
by A. b Frost, are exceedingly good.

water very effective for cleansing
weeds and messy walks: ''We give all
our walks one application annually

watering can, taking care that none is

are destroyed instantly, and a weed
on our walks is rarity till the fol-

speedily disposes of them. Worms,
which are so troublesome about this
