The Century for December contains an
unusually large amount of good reading.
The short stories are good, the war
articles are interesting, and the additional
chapters of the biography OF Lincoln are
fully as satisfactory as the previous chap
terra. This biography can hardly fail TO
increase the interest IN the magazine. 1t
is written in an entertaining style, and
will doubtless contain very large
amount OF extremely valuable Informa-
ton about one of the greatest periods in
our history. The Century Company,

The Eclectic for December is as full of
good articles as it is possible tor it to be.

zines fails to find in this number some-
thing that he thinks we'll worth the price
OF the magazine. % Bond street, New
York.
Outing for December has several inter-
esting articles, but Mr.. Thomas Stevens
correspondence "Around the World on
a Bicycle is perhaps the most interest
ing OF all. This correspondence has won
its way into popular favor as something
entirely new. 1t is probable that the cor
respOndence which will be furnished by
! the venturesome commander OF "Outing,"
the little vessel which started around the
world from this port few days ago, will
be fully as interesting as that OF Stevens.
The Outing people are certainly enter
prising and deserve success!~ 14O Nassau
street, New YORK.

genesis OF the tr0tter, and 1t is accOmpa-
MED by number Of instructive tables.
