Outing for November ranges from the Gulf
of Mexico to Behring Sea, from Tennessee to
Navarro and from bass-fshing to whale-hunt-
ing. Photography helps out the Illustrations.
The first section is "a Fisherman's Luck" and
represents the catch of fisherman who seems
to have had very good luck indeed. 1.-THE De-
velopment of FOotbalr' shows how the practice
of ''slugging" declined and fell, and how, with
the following of more careful rules, football
to-day is really fair, decent, scientific and in
teresting game. Kenneeope Holsters and Ten
nessee squirrels receive attention. There is
bright paper by an unscientific shooter who
went after squirrels in Virginia with Triple
B" shot. "Flycatcher'' Hawley Smart's story
is in chapter s. There is good dog paper with
capital pictures
1.-THE Art of Cooking" in the November
Popular Science Monthly is by Edward Atkin-
son. A man invented the sewing machine.

and an oven. By using Mr.. Atkinson's stove
the family breakfast can be put IN after supper
and will be found just ready to eat as early in
the morning as one pleases Bread can be
mixed at noon, raised ready for the oven by
o'clock, and baked in two hours. "by the heat

serves for reading or sewingp'
The North American Indians are not de-
scended from the ten lost tribess if for no
other reason, because the tribes were never
lost Mr.. Garrich Mallery however, thinks that
there are correspondence between "Israelite
and Indian" The Indian part Of the paper is
interesting; the Israelite part is queer. 1t is
certain that 1sraelite and Indian both begin
with the same letter. Nearer likeness than that
does not appear to the unscientifc reader even
after Mr.. Mallery's article.
The name Indian" is of course misnomer,
and perpetuates a blunder of Columbus. The
men whom he called Indians" belonged to the
Lucargan tribe. Prof W. K. Brooks gives an
interesting account of them. In ''Speech and
Song'' Sir Morrell Mackenzie has his opinion OF
the effects of cigarette smoking.

Archdeacon Farrar. writing on Modern
Claims Upon the Pulpit" strongly urges the
clergy to resist the temptation of dogmatism-
There are three departments Of thought in
which nobody, he thinks, can be quite abso-
lutely certain; These are science and Biblical
criticism, and doctrinal theories. The facts
are sure enough-the facts which we need to
know-but everybody has right to his own |
inferences.
f. L. Godkin, editor of the Nation, has a |
paper on Public Opinion and the Civil Ser |
vice." He notes how Tin America, the busi- |
ness view of business, whether it be Govern |
ment or private business fills the air" There |
must be collision between the business mans |
view and the politicians view. In this COLI |
sion the spOils system, he devoutedly trusts, |
will get effectively teleScoped. Prof. bryesen |
has always sympathized with the perverter |
of Pope who declared that the noblest study |
of mankind is woman" and after good deal |
of observation he is able to affirm that .iof all
no variety better repays sympa- |
thetic and discriminating study than the Amer |
ican." Hence. his paper on Types of Ameri- |
ican Women" is very interesting reading.

The North American Revie,O is offering new |
proof every month that nobody is really essen
TALLY necessary in this world; that for every |
work there is somebody who can do it just as
well as the man at the head. Lloyd Bryce has
taken Allen Thorndike Rice's place, and all /
goes on as well as before-if not better. 1t is
promised for example, that Mr.. Gladstone and |
Mr.. Blaine will presently discuss the merits of
protection and free trade in the pages of this
and long programme of similar
good things is advertised. The November num-
ber is as good as any number we have read

during the past ten years divorces
have increased in Europe 81 per cent

Rage given to the innocent party; but that "di-

Robert G. Ingersoll is as eloquent as ever.
The world for the most part is ruled from the

lead. Opinions on the subject of divorce have

Christians They have come down to us
through theological and priestly channels.n
