Josephine" and shows photograph
of the beautiful statue at Martinique
of the Creole EN- press. A pleasantly
quaint story is Lefty Penn's Visit, ),
showing how a iaring little Quak er
girl dance a wild Indian dance to
amuse the daughter of the great found
1r OF Penns s;lvania. In the "Ton galoo
Tournament" we hear the fate of a
commercial ente, ,rise to Corea; but
we feel sure that lew readers Will give
implicit faith to the story, which is
cleverly illustrated by Bensell. The
seria.s by j. Il. Irowbridge and j. o.
Davi son are flu. of incident, and of
the bright verses and funny pictures
we can srecify only few: ga Sug-
gestion" to the Weather Bureau, will
win hearty endorsement; Birch's
"Young Pan" is charming, as are his
pictures to "A Bachelor of Maine," by
Ellen Douglas Deland; Mildred How
ellis sings "a Song of Folly" and IL
illustrates it with clever pencil; and
Oliver Herford shows US a giraffe who
complains that his hot tea cools be-
fore he can swallow it. A bright bit
of verse by II. A. Ogden is the third
item whose author and illustrator are
one person, and there are many more
nuggets, including sunshiny sketch,
by Brennan, of a little girl going to
post q letter. A brightly told story Of
adventure called "Snow Bound Among
the Clouds" by Fred Funston makes
the number of unusual interest to AL
len county readers.
In the July number of the North
american Review, which opens the
one hundred and fifty-third volume
and the seventy-seventh year of this
well-known and widely-circulated
monthly, the discussion on the right
uses of wealth, which has attracted
marked attention in recent issues, Is
resumed-this time by Baron de
Hirsch, the well-know Hebrew philan-
thropist, who has done and is doing
so much for the poor and oppressed of
his own race. His contribution is not
long, but the frank statement which
he makes regarding his plans in "My
Views on Philanthrophy" cannot fail
to command wide attention. This ar
ticle opens the number. tits followed
by two papers of special interest to
farmers. The first of these is written
by l.. l.. Polk, the president of the
Farmers Alliance, on the subject of
"The Farmers Discomfort" 1t is
mainly In answer to the Note and
Comment of George f.. Waring, Jr., in
the ReUieaU for June. Erastus Wiman
writes spiritedly about "The Farmer
OH Top" and makes some startling
statements concerning the exhaustion
of the worlds wheat lands and the
growing demands for food-products.
He predicts a rosy future for the farm
er, and not very distant future, eth
er. Miss Emily Faithful, famous on
both sides of the Atlantic for her la
bors in behalf of women, discusses
with a zeal born of knowledge the
question of Domestic Service in Eng
land" in which she deals impartially
with mistress and maid. Ad-
mirers of the late L. P. Whipple will
turn with interest to his posthumous
essay on "Loafing and Laboring." 1t
is written in his brilliant and graceful
style, and will be found profitable
alike for old and young. Mr.. Clark
sons article on 1.-THE Politician and
the Pharisee" in the ReUiew for May
has called forth spirited reply from
the Hon. Dorman b. Eaton, formerly
president of the National Civil-Service
Commission. "a New Variety of
Mugwump" is what he terms Mr..
Clarkson and his like. His picture of
the new Mugwumpism is sharply
drawn, and will not be relished by the
believers in the doctrine that "to the
victors belong the spoils." Prof.
Richard T. Ely, Of John Hopkins,
Prof. f. A. Freeman, Amelia Barr,
Chevalier Hermann and Prof. Chas.
Briggs are among the other contribu-
tors and their names are sufficient !
guarantee for the interest of the arti-
cles.
Those who have read the Hay and |
history will find of peculiar
interest a hitherto unpublished ad-
dress by Mr.. Greedy ON Abraham Lin
ccln in the July Century. The address
was written in or about 1858, and is
printed from the original manuscript.
Mrs. Virginia Murphy contributes an
article entitled "Across the Plains in
the Donner Party" thrilling and
pathetic account of her experiences in
