per on Mr.. Gladstone and bi4 home
at Hawarden, will give in the Feb
ruary issue similar article on the
leader of the English Conservatives.
the Marquis If Salisbury. Hart
field House, his residence, is one OF
the historic mansions of England; g
part OF it belongs to the older pal
ace, which WAS the residence OF the
Princess Elizabeth before she be
came Queen of England, and in the
grounds is the oak under which she
was sittiHg when the message greet

will have a fine portrait of Salisbu
~, as well as many pictures of the
house, and it is from the pen of Mr..
Henry w. Lucy, of the London d Al
" News, AMI the Toby, NJ. p" OF
Puck, who WAS the writer Of the
Gladstone article
MIR. f. S. Church, whose poetic
and imaginative work has won him
as great reputation abroad, and
especially in France, as at home,
will have the place of honor in the
February Harper's with a design OF
The Mermaid and the Sea wolf,"
said to be particularly character
isiic and delicate fancy.
Prof. Richard T. Ely, of Johns
Hopkins University, whose studies
of French and German socialism,"
and ''1he past and present of polit-
ical economy" have given him al
ready high standing among Amer
ican economists, will contribute to
the February Harper's a paper on
the industrial city of pullman" in
line with the industrial series com
menced in the January number.
Prof. Ely makes "a social study" of
this curious development of Ameri-
can enterprise, which is neither a
town nor a city, but sort of fend
al estate of the Pullman companies.
While praising in the highest de-
gree the physical perfections of the
plan, he raises many doubts as to
the social organization of place
SO un-American as to deny to its
residents all participation in local
government, and the paper, which
is very fully illustrated, is likely to
awaken a good deal of discussion.
Have We the right to hiss?" is
One of the social problems discuss
ed by Mr.. Curtis in the forthcom-
-ng Easy Chair in Harper's for Feb
-uary.
Mr.. Geo. VIM. Curtis suggests to
L "woman's rights" that "there is
)ne right Of woman which the most
conservatism will not
1euy, and that is the right of earn
ng her own living by her own in
1ustry and skill. This is apropos
Of the women's exhibit at New Or
cans, which he discusses in The
forthcoming February Harper s.
Among the attractions of the
February Harper's will be the sec
Did portion of Miss Woelson's new

sroduced at the very close of the in
stallment; the second part also Of
,he anonymous novel, AT the Red
Glove" with Mr.. Reinheart's illus
5ratlons; and short stories by Ed
ward Everett Hale and Mrs. Lizzie |
Champney.
Prof Simon N9wcom5, of Wash
ngton, will have paper describ
ng THE Lick Observatory of Cali |
ornia," with illustrations, in the
February Harper's. The story of
5he making Of the great. Telescope,
or which the observatory was built,
and that Of the lie of the California
who gave it, belong to
he truth which is more interesting
han fiction.
Another one of the interesting |
papers on the curiosities of natural
history, so brilliantly illustrated by
J. G.. Beard, will appear in the Feb
'uary Harper's, describing Guar
iian birds" who care for other ami
mails.
Some pleasant "reminiscences OF
art lite abroad will be given by Miss

the wife of the well known Central
American explorer. A most inter
esting description is given of the
ancient ruins of Uxmal, and the
pictures Of the life Of to day include
some very curious customs, as that
Of the Spanish ladies' who, when in
vited to an entertainment, bring
chairs from their houses and sit out
side the windows, looking in.
