The record-union., 1891-09-25


versity, ON ''The Church and Modern
Thought" ,appears in the same number.
In the illustrated industrial series that
the Overland Monthly" has been run
ming all this year, the October issue con-
tains an article on 1.-THE Fruit Canning In
dustry," by Charles S. Greene. The pro-
cesses and methods of the Gamers are
shown by photograph and pencil, and the
statistics given from the best attainable
sources. There is a very interesting arti-
Gle on ''The First Public School in Cali
fornia,'' by j. c. Pelton, the first public
school master in the State.
The most conspicuous feature of the
September number of the Review of
Reviews" is an elaborate political article
upon the Hawaiian Queen and her king
dom. The special timeliness of the ar
ticle is due to the manner in which it dis
! cuSses the international relations of the
Sandwich Islands, and particularly the
| recent negotiations which have sought to
secure for the United States an exclusive
control of the best harbor in the islands.
The popular department of 81 .eading Ar
ticles of the MONTH is unusually COM
plete, there being about fifty American,
English and foreign articles, which are
regarded by the editor of the Review
as the principal contributions, for the
preceding month, to the periodical litera-
ture of the world. One Of the timely ar
ticles is upon Chicago working girls,
with particular reference to several sue
cessful projects which have been in oper-
alton the past summer for giving them
outings in the country.
'How and What to Feed the Baby" in
the October number of "Demorest'S
Family Magazine" is by a successful
physician, and tells what food to give,
and how to prepare each kind, just how
much and how often the child should be
inI Jyrhnyl oJll how off tho of @,
be changed, and gives bills of fare for
different ages, so that the most inexperi-
enced mother may know just how to
feed her baby from its birth until it is
able to eat the regular meals of the
family. And this is but one of the many
attractions OF the October number which
is bright with charming stories, includ-
ing one by Ella Wheeler Wilcox: "In the
Woman's Ward in an Insane Asylum
tells pathetic tale; the article on
| ''Sloyd" is instructive and entertaining,
and there are other articles, and nearly
two hundred illustrations. Nv. Jennings
Demorest, New York.
"Barbour's Prize Needlework Series"
No. l, has just appeared. 1t is published
by Barbour Brothers Company, the linen
thread manufacturers, which is sufficient
guarantee of reliability. The book con-
tains nearly one hundred printed pages,
with numerous illustrations, full direc-
tons for all sorts of fancy work, eXplana-
tions of terms and abbreviations. Cash
prizes are offered for best articles in the
various branches. @The volume is edited
by Mary L. Bradford, Rox bury, Mass,
and while it advertises a firm of manu-
facturers, its value as q needle-worlz in
structor rises superior to that quality and
moves us to commend it TO ladies who
desire to learn q charming branch of
needlework.

promised.
THE Office-A Practical Journal of
Business" is the title of new quarto
monthly pu hliShed by David Williams.
So Reade street, New York, and edited
by y. O. Klttredge. It is q very preten-
tiOus journal, but we rather like its bold
ness. 1t will probably be of much value
! to office men and to trade, since it is a
means of expression by them and ex-
change of views as to methods of busi-
ness conduct. 1t has considerable valua-
ble information in it, but quite too many
advertising features in the midst of its
text.
THE Quiver'' for October is bright and
